Tho MIX In the cocoanut.

Every boy knows tho three eyes to be
found in III end of u %cocoanut, and
many a boy has bored these eyes out, or
one or two of them, with the small
blade of IL pockctknife SO as t oget at the
milk in the cocoanut, which he has then
drained out into IL cup or drunk direct
from the cocoanut itself. But there is Il
o fascinating way still of getting ut
the milk i'll the cocoanut.
By this other method the cocoanut is
opened at the other end from the eyes,.
The cocoanut is struck all around gen
tly and repeatedly with a hammer, or q
stone will do, ut 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 gentle tapping will final
~ crack the shell Of the nut all around;
not in q line exactly on the circle per.
haps, but pretty near to it. Sometimes
it cracks she'll and meat Of the nut, too,
SO that both can be lifted off together;
sometimes it cracks out only a shell cap
ut 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 cupto drink from.

Did Lott Tell tho Truth,

"Can you or can you not trust novels
for a true picture Of life?'' asked a gen.
tleman who reads much. "Not long
ago I read Pierre Lofts beautiful story
founded on personal adventures in the
tropical island of Tahiti. The author
was u naval officer on Il French vessel
aud was stationed for many months ut
Tahiti, IL bit of land lost in the vastness
Of the Pacific. While there he fell in
love with q beautiful young native girl
and married her according to the GUS
toms of Occanica.
ellis book deals with the idyllic days
that he spent in her company; with her
artless manners and strange, imagina-
tive nature But i'll this book he gave
reason to believe that nearly all OF the
naval officers were cnanored with the
pretty native girls, and thereby hangs IL
tale. n few days ago 1 happened to
meet an officer OF IL Danish ship, and he
told me that Lott caused Il great deal of
annoyance to his married friends by his
island stories.
"Whcn they arrived in France, after
the publication of the book, their wives
asked them very awkward questions,
and they were kept in IL stew for many
months. Whenever anything unpleasant
happened, the girls of Tahiti would be-
come the subject of u very animated
conversation. AS u result they were
forced to tell their wives that Lofts
book did not present u rue picture of
life i'll Tahiti. Now, did it or did it
not!"-New Orleans Times Democrat.

Clever. T'r;cls.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys, Malaria or troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right a.
way by taking Electric Bitters. This
medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to the Liver and
Kidneys, is IL blood purifier and nerve
tonic. 1t cures constipation, headache,
fainting spells, sleeplessness, and mel
ancholy. 1t is purely vegetable, a mild
laxative, and restores the system to it's
natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters
and be convinced that they arc n mir

Ingenuity of Bows.

In physics and natural history there
are opportunities to direct and control
the out of school activities of young
people of which the enthusiastic teach
or of science is not slow to avail him
self, says d. S. Sanford i'll The Allan
tic. One OF the most astonishing facts
OF the time is the ingenuity of boys in
constructing electrical apparatus, with
but IL few hints and out of the most
meagcr materials. l know boys who
have belt lines of electric tramways cir
culating i'll their garrcts, and IL boy
who last year was tho despair of his
teachers won deserved recognition in
the manual training exhibit us the clev-
or inventor OF Il most ingenious electric
al boat. An invitation to boys to bring
to school products of their own ingenu-
ity, or the natural history specimens
that they have collected, will result in
an exhibition which i'll variety and quail
ity will be IL revelation to one who is
not used to following them i'll these in
tercsts.
So general and so wholesome u tend
ency is too significant to be ignored,
and yet one almost hesitates to meddle
with it lest official recognition may rob
it of its Independence and spontaneity.
With sympathy from the school, how
ever, it may be directed and made moro
intelligent. Interest i'll nature, for in
stance, may help to fill profitably the
long ulnm vacations.

Our populist farmer friends will
note the fact that the triangular con-
vention put up a distinctively farmers
ticket. Andy Lee is a big stockman
and can easily tell the difference be-
tween a Jersey bull and his private

nent farmer who plows law in the ele-
vator. Maris Taylor is a farmer who
is chiefly noted for his scientific re-
searches i'll the coal-oil fields of Robert
Emmett Dowdell but he has been too
busy to report whether he struck "ile''
or whether it struck him. Hugh
Smith is another boss farmer who has
successfully farmed the popo-dem
farmers in Miner county. G. S. Palm
er is another farmer who is associated
with Pettigrew and they are engaged
in cultiv ating each other with remark
able success. The whole ticket is
made up of boss farmers who are now
trying to eXterminate the Russian

Ii is interesting to tote i'll Smollett's

that when the novelist was making an

sledge made of two pieces of wood, car
ried up by the coulants (local guides)

this kind of carriage, especially as the
mountain was very steep and covered
with such a thick fog that we could
hardly sec two or three yards before us.
Nevertheless u guides were so conf
