Green COcoanut Milk.

A dweller in the tropics says: "For
a delicious early morning drink I rec
ommend you to try the milk from the
green cocoanut. Cut off the top Of the
nut with a sharp knife, pour the con-
tents into a glass; and you have drink
fit for a king. The cocoanut must be
cold. When in Singapore I was bit
seedy and consulted a doctor. Part of
his prescription was cocoanut milk
first thing in the morning l took to
it most kindly and often wish now
that / had a chance of repeating that
portion of the cure Where the cabbage
palm grows one has a good vegetable
at hand-the heart of the head Of the
tree. In removing this the palm is
killed. This growth is not bad eating
raw, as | found when out hunting
once. We fed on the palm and wild
honey"

SyvitZ4r1an Heat HOLIDAYS

1.-The heat holiday" said school,
teacher, lis a Swiss novelty that we
ought to introduce here It is not right
for us to treat our school children III
the matter of weather as we do. The
Swiss have maximum temperature
for school. When the thermometer goes
above that maximum there is no school,
whether the month be April, May Or
September The children in the insult
ferable heat are free to battle in tin
king brooks, to picnic in cool groves
or to boat on the wind swept lakes.
The Swiss recognize that we can i'm
pose no greater suffering on little chill
dren than to confine them for long
hours at a stretch in an intolerably
hot schoolroom. They know that chill
dren cannot under such conditions
learn a thing; hence the school direct
ors are wise enough by making these
heat holidays to save the teachers anG
the children much misery and much
wasted time" - Louisville Courier

Flowers In Northern Russia.

An English traveller in northern Rus
STA writes to the Gardeners Chronicle
that nothing surprised him more than
the universal presence Of we'll grown
towering plants in dwelling rooms.
Even in the cells Of monasteries and in
the studios of city photographers far
Their north than Archange he found
such plants as oleanders, crotons pc
largoniums and fuchsias in almost
every room. The double windows, so
necessary to keep out the cold, have
draft tight space between them filled
with Towering plants, and it does not
seem necessary to open them for air
during the short hot summer. From
September to June the country is
buried in snow and shut in by ice. The
average temperature for January is
only 10 degrees. The July tempera
ture, however, has an average of so
degrees f., which is hardly to be Won
derad at when it is remembered that
the sun shines twenty-five hours out
of the twenty-four.

LODI required sapper work under the
fire of revolvers and showers of mis-
siles from windows of houses, by which
the troops suffered heavily. A dispatch
received by way of Warsaw estimates
the number of slain indefinitely at
several hundred workmen,' and six
ty soldiers: but no definite statement
has yet been received. Another dis
patch direct from. Lodz giving forty
dead is admittedly incomplete.
An outbreak similar in nature to
that at Lodz is threatened at Warsaw,
where the industrial population is
much larger, discomfort and bitterness
equally widespread. and the feeling in
famed by the events at LODI. The
reyolutionists have accun,N Hted a con-
siderable stock of bombs at Warsaw
and expect to employ them at every
opportunity against the Cossacks ard
infantry. The Socialists have issued Il
proclama ton declaring that "all War
saw must stop work tomorrow Ito

straightness Of an edge or tube by hold

at what early period in the history Of

able to give a rational explanation OF

The Way of the Arab.

A traveller in Egypt writes: ''In a
camel caravan we once met in the des-
ert there was beast with a gigantic
load of cases towering above and on
both sides of him. On the left flank Of
this mountain of cases rode a small
Arab slung in a sling. The reason was
obvious-the camel engineers had mis-
calculated in loading and had put too
much on the off side, thus giving the
camel a heavy list to starboard. Arab
like being too lazy to repack, they had
corrected the error by using light
Arab as trimming ballast"

HOW THE LODI RIOTS BEGAN
Stolen Liquor Makes Many Drunk-Chii-
dren in a Frenzy.

stolen Liquor makes MANY DEuuk-Cusl-
dren in a Frenzy.
The riots at LODI began last Tues
day, after the funeral of the victims OF
a conflict between troops and terrOrists
the previous Sunday. The Christians
were permitted to bury their dead tut
the Jews were prohibited from doing
SO, and the police secretly inferred the
bodies of the Jews at night, which eX-
cited Indignation, and terrorist riots
were initiated Thursday. The most Sc
rious phase of the rioting developed
when the crowd deliberately pillaged
liquor shops, and many persons, in
famed by drink, led a crowd Of at
least $4,000 to further and more seri-
GUS attacks. Police and military were
attacked wherever they appeared in
small force, and many individual mem
bers were killed.
After pillaging the liquor shops the
crowd set fire to them, and prevented
the firemen from eXtinguishing the
blaZes. This was repeated deliberately
art many places. Friday the fury of
the mob found full vent, and even chill
dren, caught by the contagiOn, were
seen kissing red flags and heard swear
ing that they were ready to die for
liberty. A Jewish girl mounted GoX
in the market square and addressed an
immense crowd. Suddenly the police
appeared, fired a volley, and the girl
fell dead
Market gardeners coming in were
stopped and their carts used in build
ing barbados. Wires were stretched
in front of these barbados, and the
cavalry was unable to charge. Mean
while the mob had secured arms, and
reyolyers were freely used. The streets
on Friday resembled a battlefield The
houses were barricaded with boards
and mattresses. and for hours volleys
and individual firing were heard in ey-
cry quarter of the city.
Until late at night The Cossac ks were
busy collecting bodies of the dead and
picking up persons seriously wounded.
The bodies were carried off in carts to
neighboring chrrchyards. Hence the
impossibility of giving an accurate esti-
mate of the dead until order is COM
pletely restored, if, indeed, the full
story is ever told.
