MILK IN THE cocoANUT
DelusIon That Fluid Has Anything In
Common With Real MIX
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 a product Of normal
grape sugar. The question has been
discussed as to whether 1t would be
profitable to extract the cocoanut wa
ter for the sake of its 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, as 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.

CURIOUS CROWD is sTUNG
What Eager Mob Saw After Trailing
Patrol Wagon Loaded With
Policemen.

In the midst Of the noon hour rush
Saturday patrol wagon Changed down
the street loaded with half dozen po-
lcemen, turned into cross street and
stopped in front of one Of the big de.
partment stores.
The patrol sergeant jumped out and
hurried into the store, while crowd
of curious persons congregated around
the wagon and dozen Of the bolder
ones rushed into the store at the SER
geant's back. The rumor quickly
spread that the store had been raided,
that the store was afire, that masked
burglar had tried to hold up the man.
ager, and 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
ruse and surged behind. The wagon
backed up to the curb, the policemen
jumped out and entered the rear door.
The crowd waited breathlessly. In a
few moments the police came out with
arms burdened down with bundles of
winter uniforms.
"Stung," muttered the sergeant, as
the patrol drove away again.-Phila'

PROGRESS of the pen.

Many trades, sedentary in appear
ance, are the cause OF a vast amount
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 inte
bottles, the house painter who sweeps
the wall with his brush, the wood cut
ter who wields 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
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 tlS
calculation is easy to verify, that the
writer with a facile pen who black
ems the paper for five hours a 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
much greater distance than that OF
the circuit of the earth. And yet this
unconscious hero has scarcely quilted
his desk.

ONE COLOR IDEA ABANDONED
Fashions Latest Fancy at Least
Makes 1t Easy to Remodel Slightly
Worn Gowns.

The fashions have never been SO
Rmenable to remodeling as they are. at
present. They have got barely over
that old idea of theirs that dress had
to be made almost entirely OF one
material and quite entirely OF one
color.
It is considered very smart this sea-
son to use two or three materials and
several colors in one gown. When
was abroad short time ago | saw
practically no monotone dresses, and
the smartest frocks that were worn
at the race meets and restaurants
we're always party-colored affairs that
looked most attractive after the long
run of the one-color idea.
SO If you haven't enough material IN
the dress you want to make over, or
If part of it is worn or soiled, you can
combine it with some other material
and it will not only freshen 1t beyond
recognition, but 1t will make 1t mucn
better style than 1t would be II 1t had
been made all of one material. That
is encouraging, isn't it? You can veil
a half-shabby silk or satin dress with
chiffon, net, marquisette, silk voile OF
half a dozen other pretty things. You
can combine a check, plaid or striped
material with a plain color, matching
one of the colors in the plaid, etc. You
can use two materials of the same
color, two weights of the same mate
rial; you can combine two different
eolors or two tones of the same color,
or Won can use two or three different
kinds of materials and several totally
unrelated colors, if you care to. You
see you can do practically anything
so long as it is little different from
anything you have done before.-Ex-

MAKING OF PLAYING CARDS
Supposed to Have Been Invented TOT
Amusement of Deranged KING
of France.

The invention of playing cards mas
been variously attributed to the chi
nese. Hindoos, Arabians and Romans,
hut cards as now used were invented
by Jacques Grirgonneur, painter, in
Paris, in the fourteenth century. They
were supposed to have been first made
or 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, l. e., "bastos," and the
spades or swords, "espadas." Cards at
irst 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.

Origin of Flrewater.

When the Hudson's Bay Trading
company began its trading among the
Indians 1t was found that by selling
the Indians liquor they could more
easily be induced to trade their pelt
ries.
The first whisky or intoxicant of In
ferior quality was distilled In England
and brought to America In large bar
rels, but in transporting it overland ii
was found more convenient to divide
it into small kegs. The traders soon
became aware of the fact that by
diluting the whisky with water more
furs could be obtained. This was prac.
tised for some time, but the Indians
learned that good whisky poured on
fire would cause 1t to flame UP, where
as had the whisky been diluted the
fire would be quenched. 1t was by
this simple experiment that the term
"firewater" became a common word
among Indians.
A chief who had experienced the
bad effects Of whisky among his peo
pie said it was most certainly distilled
from the hearts of wildcats and the
tongues of women from the effects II
produced.-Red Man.
