Pmmini Penlramoiti.Capt. John A. Cobb has a few young Japanese persimmon trees In bis yard. The trees stood so noar tho street, and the fruit on them looked so tempting, that last Octo-ber he concluded tho safest way to preserve them from the ravages of the fruit thieves was to take them Into the house. As tho fruit was not yet fully perfected and ripe, he cut off the small branches upon whloh the fruit hung and laid them up on a shelf In a dark closet. There they slowly ripened In all their delicious flavor, from time to time, and yesterday the Captain laid upon our table two of tho beauties upon the branch, fully ripe, which had been cut off the tree three months ago. From this experiment it would seem that In this country we could have fruUs and vegetables In all tholr freshest flavor in any month of the year.
