Few people know that the cocoanuts

Few people know that the cocoanuts
of the Malay Peninsula sometimes pro-

the natives. The stones are not unlike
the peals of the mollusks and are SINH

having calcium carbonate and a little
organic matter. These concretions
form just beneath the stem. and pure
white pearl brings high price. as It
is supposed by the natives to possess
some kind of Charm. Gases have been

Women Appear in Public
Wearing Harem Skirt.
Causes Traffic Blockade and
Near Riot in New York.
Wsarsrs Of Troussr Skirt In Paris
and Madrid In Marrow Escapes.

New York, Feb. 26.-Brooklyn bridge
broke It's record as a scene of dare
deFll exploits Friday. a suicide or pro-
tessional bridge jumper never thrilled
the throng of bridge promcnaders
more than the appearance of dashing
Young blonde on the great thorough
fare late Friday. She was attired in
the new harem skirt--the first of the
millions OF New York women publicly
to venture the new affectation of mems
clothes which has stirred continental
cities to riot.
1t nearly came to that on the bridge
Friday. Pedestrian traffic was blocked
by the crowds which collected in her
wake and followed her right into News
paper Row, Post Office square and
down Broadway. but she vanished in
the underground station Of the Hudson
tubes The boldest of newspaper re-
porters baked at the suggestion that
some one inquire her name
There were few who observed even
the details that she was blonde, that
her eyes were blue and that she wore
black fur coat. Attention was rvet-
ed on the split skirt reaching little
below the knees. disclosing black
bloomer-like contrivances tightly
drawn up about the ankles.
TWO Polish girls. unable to afford
the new Paris fashion, created quite
as much excitement by parading the
main streets Of Williamsburg in boys
clothes Friday until they had crowd
oil 5000 and the police after them.
Their explanation that it was a Gus
tom in Poland for girls to dress Up in
their brothers clothes just before Lent,
proved TO the satisfaction of magis
trate that their disguise was a matter
OF harmless innocence and with a lee

DO WE WANT THIS CONVENTION

VIII next years session Of the Ma
rtonal Nut Growers Association meet
in Americas? That is question
which has been asked here recently,
and the answer 10 it depends upon the
attitude manifested by the people Of
Americas and this section.
Mr.. H. ". Smithwick, president Of
the Georgia-Florida Nut Growers As
ISOLATION al its recent meeting here, IS
heartily in favor Of asking the national
organization to- meet here al its next
session. If the proper support is given
to Mr.. Smithwick, it is believed that
the meeting Of the national organiza-
ton can be successfully handled as
that of the Georgta-Florida organiza-
ton.
In this connection it is pointed ont
that the national organization has in
he pass met successfully in cities
no larger than Americas. Further
more, II is believed that the holding Of
the Georgia-Florida organization here
recently has sharpened the interest Of
local nut growers and others in the
work that IS being done by these or
ganiza ions.
Mobile viii entertain the national
association this fall, so that the meet
ing for 1912 is the one that is being
looked forward to as the one that may
be secured for Americas. The usual
time for holding the convention is in
October, a time that would be most
favorable in attracting interest to the
varied agricultural interests that this
section affords The matter should be
one that is well worthy Of investiga-
ton.

Deafness Cannot Re Cnred

by local applications, as they canno

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutions
remedies. Deafness is caused by al
iniiamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
bearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed. deafness is the result, and unless
this Inflammation can be taken on
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing

The neighbors having dropped in in
formally upon the Suthrons during the
evening, says the National Monthly,
Mrs. Suthron suggests that if her hus-
band will gather some mint from the
mint bed in the garden she will mix
for them a genuine Kentucky jlaep.
Mr.. Suthron, who has INDUCED in a
matter of seven or eight genuine Ken
lucky juleps prior to the arrival of the
guests, goes willingly in search of the
desired garnishment for the drink He
remains in the garden quite awhile,
and finally the others go out to ascer-
tain what causes the delay
"Why don't you bring the mint, dear
his wife calls.
From somewhere in the darkness
comes the testy response:
Jane, I've eaten my way twice
around this lot I've chewed geranium
leaves, grass, catnip, tulip, onions,
sage and burdock, but blamed if I can
