His Reputation Second to None.

Little knot of lawyers were swap
ping yarns in an office on Corondelet
Street New Orleans, when somebody
mentioned an attorney, now dead, who
enioyed q great reputation in his day
for rough and ready repartee.. The
old Major" as we used to call him,
said one Of the party, certainly had a
handy tongue I remember, years ago,
there was a riverman who had made
his headquarters here, and who was
especially famous for two things-his
enormous appetite and his tendency to
draw the long bow. On one occasion
he cot into a wrangle with cotton
factor over some alleged tamperinS
with a consignment that turned up
short. and a lawsuit was the result.
The Captain told pretty damaging
story on the witness stand, and the
other side, knowing his reputation for
romancing, attempted to impeach his
evidence. Among others called for
that purpose was the old major, who
came with extreme reluctance and pro-
ceedel to dodge all the questions asked
him. Finally the young lawyer who
was doing the examining got mad.
Look here Sirn he exclaimed. I want
direct answer without any further
evasion. What do you know about this
mans reputation for truth and verac-
ity?' Well, Sir, replied the Major de-
liberately. I can't say as to his repu-
tation for truth, but his reputation for
voracity is second to none in New Or
leans There was q roar of laughter
and the case collapsed.

Facts Concerning Copra.

Copra, which is one of the chief pro-
ducts Of the Philippine islands, is the
dried meat Of the cocoanut. The in
dustry, while comparatively young,
presents some unique features, and the
production Of it Is the outgrowth Of
attempts made few years ago to find
s~".:e convenient method of exporting
the surplus quantity Of cocoanut oil
produced in the islands. The earthen
jars in which the oil arrived at Manila
were too easily broken to be trans
ported with any degree Of safety. The
only available alternative was a crude
form Of barrel made in China for the
purpose, but these leaked so profusely
that they gave very poor results.
These difficulties led to a search for
more convenient form in which to eX-
port the product 1t was for the pur-
pose Of supplying this need that N.
Eduard Vidal taught the natives how
to prepare the cocoanut in a dry form
such as is known on the market as
copra, basing his process upon some ex-
periments which he. together with
some planters in the province CT
Misamis had carried on with consider
able success in the year 1882.
The method Of preparing the copra
is comparatively simple one. When
the nut IS perfectly ripe it IS cut into
halves and placed in the sun without
further preparation. In few hours
the meat Of the nut is contracted by
the effect Of the heat and becomes de-
tached from the shell. The morsels
Of nut kernel are then collected and
exposed to the sun for several days,
so that all the water which they con-
tain may be evaporated, care being ex-
ercised to guard against moisture and
dew, which would soften the material.
When the substance becomes brittle,
it is considered ready for the market.
In ordinary times it is claimed that
thousand cocoanuts will give, in the
province Of Visayas, about 600 to 700
pounds Of copra, but actual expert
ence hardly bears out these claims,
the average being from 420 to 400
pounds per 1000 cocoanuts. The copra
industry during its comparatively
short history OF fourteen years in the
Philippines has attained considerable
dimensions.

VALUABLE WALKING STICKS.
interesting Historical Facts About Some
Famous High Priced Canes.

Interesting Historical Facts About Some
Famous High Priced Canes.
In a hairdresser's window at the
heath resort Of La Bourboule, in
France, some little time ago an ugly,
ungainly cudgel, worth about six
pence, was displayed, together with
the notice, "a stick Of genuine olive
wood from Jerusalem. 1t formerly be-
longed to Pontius PLATE in the year u
of our era. Price, 1000 francs. Any
one desirous Of wasting little time
might have asked the vendor for proof
of his veracity, but we. having duly
recorded the existence Of this remark
able stick, will pass on to that OF DR..
II. Hale, of Detroit, which is, to the
best of our belief, the most valuable
stick extant.
It was formerly the practice of ply
sicians, as old prints prove, to carry
canes in the hollow heads of which
some disinfectant was placed, which
the doctor smellcd through perfora-
ton in the gold top. DR.. Hale's IA
nous staff, however, boasts Of head
containing q fine chronometer, and IS,
with its jeweled ornaments, worth
about $4,000
It is somewhat Of coincidence
that two Of Queen Tictorias most IA
nous walking sticks should be lntl-
mately connected with the Stuart
regime but such is the case. The
staff of the stick she habitually uses,
we learn, is of stout English oak, and
was made for and presented to
Charles II by loyal subject at Wor-
ceSter, the wood being culled from
a branch Of the famous tree whose
leafy boughs gave the wandering king
shelter from the Cromwellian SOL
diery.
The Prince of Wales. who possesses
10 fewer than 172 walking sticks, is
obviously a collector, but we very
much doubt whether he possesses
more interesting specimen than that
purchased at the Culloden sale by her
majesty, the Queen, in July. 1897. The
stick in question was made of hazel
wood, and the head was fashioned so
as to represent Wisdom and Folly, but
the special interest it possesses IS the
fact that it was once the property OF
Of Bonnie Prince Charlie" Her
majesty became its owner by an out
lay Of $500.
A stick Of more than ordinary inter-
est is one fashioned from an oar be-
longing to one Of the most famous yes
sells of this half century, the Confed-
crate steamer Alabama, that eyentu-
ally cost England some S17,0O0,OOO.
In July, 1890, a walking stick, once
the property Of George ", and before
him Of George III, was sold by auc-
ton for 500
1t is somewhat strange that the stick
of Napoleon Bohaparte, Great Brit
aims terrible opponent at the time Of
the regency, should be sold during the
reign Of the fourth George for 500

MUCH-NAMED FEBRUARY 2.
Otherwise Known Throughout the Country
as Ground Hos Day.

as Ground HOG Day.
February Q is q much named day.
It is Candlemas Day. Puritication of
the Virgin Mary. Presentation Of
Christ in the Temple and colloQuially

name that is possibly most familiar to
US is Grounding Day. The celebra-
ton Of Candlemas is observed in the
Anglican, Roman. Greek and Luth-
eran churches. its principal feature be-
ing the distribution Of candles and
procession Of lighted ones It is more
than probable that it is from this Gus
tom that the name Candlemas Day
originated. Some authorities claim
that the institution Of the feast ante
dated the manner of celebrating it.
observed in 542, during the reign Of
Justinan, whereas the first procession
of lighted candles did not occur until
the seventh century. Another authority
while giving te honor Of originating
the celebra ton of the day to Justinian,
says Pope Gelasius, in the latter
port Of the fifth century, had the
first procession Of lighted candles.
The ceremonies Of Candlemas Day in
England have been very much modi-
fed since the time of the Reformation.
An order Of Council, passed in the
second year Of the reign Of EdwardVI..
abolished the candle carrying in that
country. At Rome, however, quite
late in our century. the candles were
blessed and distributed with much
pomp and ceremony, accompanied by
great procession Of ecclesiastics.
Unlike the majority Of weather prog
nosticationS taken, as is usual
custom, from these set days. Candle
mas weather signs go by contraries.
Fine weather betokens a continuance
Of winter and cold days, while an in
clement day IS a sure promise Of an
early spring and bright summer. Our
well-known name, particularly among
our rural and foreign population of
Grounding Day for the second Of Feb
ruary, comes from an old proverb the
early Germans brought to America
from their Fatherland. that 1.-The
badger peeps out of his hole on Candle
mas Day, and when he finds snow
shining he draws back into his hole"
East Of the Mississippi the badger is
scarce and little known, so the farmers
transferred the mantle to the wood
chuck, or grounding.

Cost of q Petty Suit.

The folly Of going to law is shown
by a recent transaction in the Justice
Court at Greenyille. Tex, The con-

cotton, which when sold the next day
under the attachment brought the sum
Of S11.34. When all costs were paid
there was left S3.70, which, by the
terms Of the original instrument, went
to the attorney, leaving the attaching
party without cent for the collection.
