"GENTLENESS." j There .'are 100 TOany f young people of today who are too careless ,nth our manners, and especially to rd old gentlemen and ladies. We should be more gentle, more kind at home and abroad It will cost us nothing to be polite ,nd kind towards every on we (should meet; so let us all try it and see for ourselves. Meet every one with a warm handshake and a smite. See how it will brighten and cheer them up, and they will never forget you for it. And when they come to see you make them feel at home by greetig them with kindness and a -tmile. Not vith a frown and an act of malice. It will make them feel in the way and wish to be delivered from your pres ence, and in that you win no love from them, let them be old or young. Ever be willing to do unto others as you would have them to do unto you. That passive tameness which sub mits, without struggle, io every en croachment of violence and assuming forms no part of Christian duty; but on the- contrary, jt is destructive of general happiness and order. That unlimited complaisance which on ev ery occasion falls in with the opinions and manners of others. Ungentleness, unkindness, over throws all steadiness of principle, and produces that simple conformity with the world which taints the whole char acter in life. True gentleness, there fore, which belongs to virtue, is to be carefully distinguished from the mean spirits of cowards, and the fawning assents of sycophants. Gentleness requires not only a con sistent, firm mind, but it necessarily requires a manly or womanly spirit, and a fixed principle, in order to give it full value. Now let us find out what "True Gen tleness" is. It .stands opposed to harshness and severity, to pride and arrogance, to violence and oppression. It is, properly, that part of the great virtue of charity which makes us un willing to give pain or sorrow to our brethren. Compassion prompts us to relieve them of their pains and wants, forbearance prevents us from retal iating their injuries. Meek::ess, we restrain our angry passions; candor, our severe judg ments. Gentleness corrects what is offensive in our manners. Now if we w ish success in life and win the hearts of other, we must learn to adopt the manners of candor, gentleness and hu manitty. Gentleness and candor have their seat in every good man's heart. Let ma add, nothing excevt what flows from the heart can give satisfaction and pleasure; for no assumed behavior cr.n at all times hide the real charac ter. True gentleness is founded on a sense of what We owe to him who made us, and to the common nature, of which we all shore. It arises from the reflection on our own failings and wants. It is the heart which rele nts easily, which feels for everything that is human or anything living. Back ward and slow to inflict the least w ound. Mild in its demeanor, over ready to oblige, breathing kindness toward friends, courtesy toward stran gers. It never meddles with the af fairs of others. Its delight above all is to alleviate distress. If it cannot dry up the falling tear, but to soothe at least the grieving heart. It seeks to please rather than to shine and daz zle. In a word, it is that spirit and that tenor which the gospel of Chfist enjoins when it commands as to bear one another's burdens. "Rejoice with Uiose who weep." to be kind and ten der hearted, support the weak, and lead tlie blind. Now friends, this is the true sense of gentleness which we should all pos sess within ouraerres. There art too many young people who have no mer cy cn anything livng. They are hard hearted, unmerciful. Well, now, I have kept you reading too long al ready, but hope you'll pardon me this tune.

'irm RWT It ''it A Persimmon Tree Which Has a Drooping Habit of Growth and Produce Fruit of the Oblong Type. (prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Despite the fact that the only fruit which equals the persimmon in food value is the date, many persons who have persimmon trees on their land are making no use of them, and there has been comparatively little effort made to develop the trees commercial ly. In a new bulletin, Farmers' Bulle tin No. 685 of the United States de partment of agriculture, some of the many uses to which the fruit can be put are described and methods of propagating the trees discussed. The persimmon is found in largo numbers over the southeastern quar ter of the United States and in some places as far west as Iowa and east ern Nebraska, and as far north as Rhode Island, New York and Michi gan. The real persimmon belt, bow ever, may be said to extend from Maryland, Virginia and the Carollnas westward through Missouri and Ar kansas. Where the tree is most abun dant there Is considerable prejudice against It because of the persistency with which the young sprouts come up In cultivated fields, and also because of the puckering astringent effect of the unripe fruit. There is a saying that persimmons are "good for dogs, hogs and 'possums," but this is unjust to a product which can be made very useful to man. At the present time a few growers in the persimmon belt who have easy access to markets in large cities have 'built up quite a considerable demand for persimmons, and the wild fruit can also be sometimes purchased during the autumn and early winter. A num ber of nurserymen also sell seedling trees for ornamental planting, for which they are very effective, and a few have special varieties developed for the production of the fruit. One obstacle to the more general use of persimmons Is the mistaken Idea that they are not fit to eat until they have boon touched by frost In consequence many persimmons wjhlch ripen and fall to the ground before frost comes are allowed to go to waste. As a matter of fact, it may be said In general that the best varieties are those which ripen Just before the trees shed their leaves. If a persimmon Is not edible before frost, it Is simply because the variety happens to be a late one and the fruit is not ripe. In order to be on the safe side, however. It Is recommended In the bulletin al ready mentioned that housewives who are using persimmon pulp in the prep aration of bread, cakes and other IV ; I'. h i i i ii n !

This removes whatever astrtn- gency there may be In the fruit and does away with all risk of a puckered mouth. A number of practical recipes calling for the use of persimmon pulp are contained In the bulletin. In the propagation of the persim mon, certain precautions that are nec essary In the case of the other fruits should be observed. Seeds gathered for propagating purposes should be stratified at once. If they are allowed to dry out it is often necessary to soak them for two or three days before they are planted, boiling water being used for the purpose. The seed bed In which the seedlings are grown should be well drained with rather light soli and a good supply of humus. The ground should be deep plowed in order to permit the penetration of the long taproots which are characteristic of the tree. The roots of persimmon trees sprout readily when the top is removed and this accounts for the persistence at times of clumps of sprouts in fields where they are not wanted. It also enables Bmall pieces of roots six or eight inches long to be used for propa gating. The ends of the roots should be sealed with grafting wax or pitch in burled In sand through tho winter. If j tne QOisture supply is plentiful they will then grow readily the following spring. Cuttings of branches may be used in the same way as the root cut tings. In cases where Is Is desirable to graft, the operation Is usually most successful If It is put off until the trees have definitely started into new growth. It Is also of the utmost im portance that the cut surface of both bark and wood be protected with as little delay as possible from exposure to the air. Grafting wax, waxed cloth or similar devices are used to afford the necessary protection. The various methods of grafting are discussed in some detail in the new bulletin. In addition to the value of the fruit for household purposes, persimmon wood is used to a large extent by manufacturers of cotton mill supplies, who make bobbins from it. It Is also used for shoe lasts. The live trees are In considerable demand for shade and ornamental purposes and one au thority states that as a shade tree on private grounds the persimmon com pares favorably wltk any of the other species In this country.
