MILK IN THE C0COANU1
DeIusion That Fluid Has Anything In
Common With Real Milk
Dissipated.

Probably everybody has wondered
at times what kind of stuff the milk"
of the cocoanut is. One inducement
generally held out by the dealer to
the prospective purchaser is, that the
nuts are "all milky" Recent
analysis, however, have dissipated
the delusion that the fluid has any
thing in common with real milk. 1t
contains only four per cent. of solids,
consisting chiefly Of sugars 2.S per
cent, the balance being made up of
mineral matter and tartaric acid
More than half of the sugar pres
ent is mannitol, the sweet principle
of mama which is sometimes found
also in wine as product of normal
grape sugar. The question has been
discussed as to whether it would be
profitable to extract the cocoanut wa
ter for the sake of it's cane sugar,
but as this amounts to only one-tenth
per cent. the process would not be
commercially successful in spite of
the water being a waste product.
Even If the water contained five per
cent. of sugar, az some specimens
appear to have shown, the recovery
of this amount would be Improbable
The juice of the sugar cane Yields
nearly 20 per cent. Of sugar.

MAKING OF PLAYING CARDS
Supposed to Have Been Invented for
Amusement Of Deranged King
Of France.

The invention OF playing cards has
been variously attributed to the Chi
nese. Hindoos, Arabians and Romans,
but cards as now used were invented
by Jacques Grirgonneur, a painter. in
Paris, in the fourteenth century. They
were supposed to have been first made
Tor the amusement of Charles vi. of
France, who was deranged The
French had particular names for the
IL court cards. The four kings were
David, Alexander, Caesar and Charles:
the four queens, Argine, Esther, Ju-
dith and Pallas; the four knaves or
Knights, Ogier the Dane, Lancelot, La
Hire and Hector de Garland.
Cards seem originally to have been
brought to England from Spain, prob
ably having been introduced into that
country by the Moors. The clubs, in
Spanish, were not trefoils, as with us,
but cudgels, 1. e., 'bastos,' and the
spades or swords, "espadas." Cards at
hrst were stamped from wood blocks
In outline and filled in by hand, but
after the invention of engraving the
best artists engraved them on copper
and struck them off at once. "Colum-
bines" were spades, rabbits" clubs
'pinks," diamonds, and roses"
hearts. Human figures. opposed to
those OF flowers and animals, were the
ancestors of court cards.

BALL GAME OF CHEROKEES

one OF these sections will challenge
those living in another to a game OF

agree upon the time and place for
playing the game. 1t is generally
played in an open field far different
from the wellgraded field upon which
the game of football is played.
The evening before the game the In

dance In their respective sections of

CURIOUS CROWD is STUNG
Patrol Wagon Loaded With
Policemen.

In the midst of the noon hour rush
Saturday patrol wagon changed down
he street loaded with half dozen po-
icemen, turned into cross street and
stopped in front of one of the big de-

The patrol sergeant jumped out and
hurried into the store, while a crowd

pread that the store had been raided,
hat the store was afire, that a masked
burglar had tried to hold up the man
ager, and a large portion of the tide
Of pedestrians up and down the street
was diverted to the patrol and the
sidewalk of the department store.
The sergeant came out again,
Jumped up beside the driver and held
a whispered conversation. Then he
returned to the store, and the patrol
drove slowly to the rear entrance of
the big building. The crowd saw the
use and surged behind. The wagon
backed up to the curb, the policemen

Progress Of the Pen.

Many trades, sedentary in appear
of motion. The carpenter who drives
his plane over the plank, the polisher
who leaves 1t shining like a mirror.
the gardener who sweeps the paths,
the carpet layer who drive his nails,
the cellarman who puts the wine into
bottles, the house painter who sweeps
the wall with his brush, the wood cut
ter who Yields his ak, the graceful
typewriter who, in striking the keys
of her machine, increasingly raises and
lowers her delicate fingers-all these
people move or cause movement In a
part Of their person. Add together all
these rapid and apparently trivial
movements, and you will discover that
they cover at least once in the course
OF lifetime the long route round the
earth. 1t has been calculated, and the
calculation is easy to verify, that the
writer with facile pen who black
ems the paper for five hours day at
the rate of 80 words minute will
thus cover a distance of about 10000
miles a year by, so to say, mere
strength of wrist That means a
much greater distance than that of
the circuit of the earth. And yet this
unconscious hero has scarcely quilted

WOLF HUNTING WITH EAGLES
kirghiz Train Great Birds to Hunt
Gazele, Foxes and Even
Wolves.

All wanderers are lovers OF the

daring exploits the Kirghiz take the
palm, declares a writer in the Wide
World Magazine. Central Asia Is the
home of falconry, which was not in
troduced into Europe until the Crusa
ders brought back falcons with them
from their eastern wanderings. But
imagine the ambition of the men who
fly their birds at wolves and foxes In
stead of at quails and cartridges! Not
content with hunting game birds with
small falcons, the Kirghiz capture and
train the great golden eagles, with
which they hunt such game as gazelle
foxes and even wolves. A well mount.

coolly peeled up his trousers. peeled

ness Of two fingers Sharp biscuit
cutters are used for round shapes aft
er the slices of bread are put together
with the filling.
Too great care cannot be eaken in
shaping. as sandwiches of uneven size
are not appetizing and reflect upon
the social knowledge of the hostess.
II made several hours before they
are used, sandwiches are packed close

a dry cloth.

For tea purposes decided onion mix

capers and anchovy filings.
For ordinary purposes cold meat or
poultry run through fine chopper and
