MILK IN THE C~OCOANuT,
There Are Two Ways OF Getting nj II
When One Wants to Drink II,

Every boy knows the three eyes TO
be found In one end Of a c%ocoanut, and
many a boy has bored these small eyes
out, or one or two of them. with the
small blade of a pocket knife so as to
get at the milk In the C%ocoanut, which
he has then drained out into cup or
drunk direct from the cocoanut itself.
But there is a more fascinating way
still OF getting at the milk In the
c%ocoanut. BY this other method
the cocoanut Is opened ut the
other end from the eyes. The
cocoanut Is struck all around gent
ly and repeatedly with a hammer, or a
ston. will do. at a distance OF about
one-third Of the way down from the
top, about where the Arctic circle
would be on a globe. A continual gem
tie tapping will finally crack the shell
OF the nut all around; not In a line ex-
actly on the circle opposite, but pretty
near TO It. Sometimes 1t cracks shell
and meat OF the nut, too, so that both
can be lifted off together; sometimes 1t
cracks out only a shell cap at the top.
which Is lifted of, and the cap OF meat
underneath Is then cut out around with
a knife. And then there you are with
the white-lined cocoanut cup to drink
from.
