Testing COcOanuts.

Far down on the East River front you
NAV see cocoanuts unloaded from the
hold of small iron steamers plying be-
tween this port and the tropics. They
are brought up from the hold in stout
baskets and transferred to large coarse
bags. The cocoanut handler takes nut
in each hand, cracks the two together,
counts them, and drops them into the
bag. When half dozen men are hand
ling the nuts in this fashion, the crack
ing process sounds like the click of very
large poker chips. The cracking is done
to test the shells, and if one is found I'M
sound it is cast aside. The slightest
touch reveals defect. When one of a
pair is found defective the sound one Is
retained and touched very quickly to the
nut that is substituted for the one thrown
away. The defective ones are gathered
Nd to be sold to small retailers for imme-
date consumption. There are usually
three or four men on the pier munching
the meat of such cocoanuts as are too
badly damaged to be sold.-Neo Yors

Treating DOG Bites.

A good thing to do for mad dog bite
is to fill the wound with powder and
touch it off. This meets snake bites. too
An efficacious and aboriginal plan is te
procure half dozen young live fowls,
cut the skin from the side of one, and put
the raw spot against the bitten part. II
a few minutes take another fowl and use
it in the same way. Four will probably
die, the fifth will get giddy, but not die,
and the sixth may not be needed. Such
treatment for dog bites is handler than,
and as reliable as, the maidstone. "-St.
