Two years ago I went forth one
Sue January morning to search the
surrounding country ; for some
plants I needed for the plantations
in town. . In due time I found what
I wanted tut instead of being con-
tented with my easy success I went
farther on and soon came into trou-

looking at each other with embar

Dr. Pean broke the silence by say

I have preserved a deer firratitudo

our guests from the north so that
Ihey may share my liking. .
For -those who like to know a lit-
tle more of the whereabouts of the
persf mmdni J write" the following
notes: The persimmon (Diospyros
virginiana) . grows nearly ever
where in North Carolina and ii
found as far north as New York
state fend Khbde Island but. com-
monly it is not hardy beyond Phila-
delphia. It will be easily recogniz-
ed in our woods by its "perfectly
symmetrical growth and its gray-
ish somewhat rough bark and last
but not least by its fruits. . Though
usually not higher than 15 to 20 feet
with us there are specimens in this
vicinity over 40 feet tall and of a
trunk diameter of about 15 inches
(MoKenzie's farm. The foliage is
urigm green ana glossy appears
early and changes to purple before
dropping.
The rather insignificant whitish
blossoms open in June are fragrant
and much relished by bees. They
are followed by the quickly develop-
ing fruit which attains its full size:
and color by August. But woe to
tho investigating stranger who
might be tempted to try these in
viting looking plumlike fruits. Holy
horror will soon depict itself upon
his face and his mouth will at once
take all kinds of forms from whis-
tling to a broad grin. Re will swear
off the use of persimmons for all
time to come and will like them
the more later on. For mind ye at
that time the fruits are puckering
and astringent above all things and
want to be left quite alone.
Everything however cometh un-
to him who waits and the first early
; frost will accomplish quite a mar-
I velouB metamorpbosia Instead of
looking smooth and plump any
more they will then be somewhat
Withered and best of all the des-
picable astringent taste will have
made way to a delicious sweetness
resembling somewhat that' of dates.
Now the time has come for man and
possum to revel in 'simmons. The
gourmet will fare even better yet
by following the old druggist's
adage. VSbaken before taken" and
accordingly ho shakes the tree and
does not mind to pick up .the juicy
fruit from the ground The ripe
fruits are sometimes used in the
making of a beer 'simmon beer
which is said to be "not bad "while
the fermented fruit furnishes a
brandy that improves with age.
The wood is found very useful for
shoe lasts mallets and violins and
is regarded as an equal to ash or
beech and nearly coming up to
hickory. A decoction of the astrin-
gent inner bark is supposed to be
salubrious against intermittent fe-
vers.. - " v. :
Thero hails from Japan another
species of persimmon! the Diospy-
ros kaki which offers some special
advantages. It bears mucli larger
and if possible sweeter fruits than
our native representative and the
fruits are as delicious before as they
are after frosts. This Japanese per-
simmon is fairly hardy with us and
under propagation now in our nurs-
eries. Pinfihurst Outlook.

1 My sanctuary for so I call '
That long straight path beneath tho vaU.
There do I muse how nature's self
Moves upward ; how from shelf to shelf.
Ennobled through perpetual strife
She israes In a grander life.
And as I think how one small bod '
Engrafted tames the wildest wood
Sweet fruitage for man's use to bear.
And of its sweetness leave an heir.
Seems it-aa may my faith be true
Graoe has its power in nature too.
Tis grace that Inrks in kindly soil.
Tis graoe attends the tiller's toil.
Graoe works in every flower that blows
And in each brier there lives a rose.
Thus as I ponder lo a knell
Comes o'er met 'Tis the passing belL
Then think I of beneath the sod
' Those sleeping. Are they all with God
. that one so willful; this who died
In passion's youth unsanotifled t
Can God accept them I Can he prove
: To those who loved not God of love

Hearing the glad voiced thrushes caU
On my straight path so sweetly set
With lavender and mignonette

That mightiur Gardener in the airy
Who while brief life our work doth end
Bath all of time his work to mend;
Unnumbered worlds beyond our ken:
Fresh soil for souls fresh ehanoe for men;
Angels of love to graft his grace;
Perchanoe O Heaven to see his faoel
And then I thought as in the trees
Life m armored with the quickening
Badly I thought not they alone -Were
sinners; half the sin my own-
Had I more faithful preached the word
Perchance they might have better heard ;
Have risen on wings and out of clay
Uplifted soared to heavenly day.
So trust 1 God will not condemn
Those who not him but man contemn!

. Porcupine Quilla.
"What may those quills be?" ask
ed the writer pointing to several
small bundles of black and white
spikes which recently lay on the ta-
ble of an importing house in New
York.
"They are samples of porcupine
quills" said the merchant "They
come from India and also from
Spain and are chiefly sold to fishing
tackle bouses. These concerns pol-
ish and supply them with the neces-
sary pieces of cork to increase their
natural buoyancy and the quills
are then purchased by anglers who
use them quite extensively for bot
torn fishing. Some of the black and
white spikes are made into penhold
ers and pipestems. They are also
largely utilized in making up orna
mental screens and fancy fana
"The porcupine has to be hunted
and killed before the quills can be
obtained and many thousands of
these animals are slain for this pur-
pose yearly. Every "spike pig" car-
ries from $1.50 to $3 worth of quills
on his fretful back. The quills are
carefully extracted and When dried
they are packed in boxes or crates
and shipped to London and New
York. They are worth from $6 to $7
a gross wholesale and the supply is
barely equal to tho demand iu this
country. "Washington Star.

Water a Care For Indigestion.
"We must give special attention
to thexuttside of the body as well as
the inside" writes Mrs. S. T. Eorer
on "What to Eat When You Have
Indigestion" in The Ladies' Home
Journal. "The skin must bo bathed
every morning with tepid water
followed by a brisk rub. This is
equally as important as correct diet
A good rule is to use water freely
inside and out. At least two quarts
of water daily should betaken half
a pint the first thing in the morning
and the last at night a cupful of
warm water before each meal and
the remaining quantity divided and
taken before meals." .
