S25, 900 for New School at
Wilder.

A special town meeting of the town
of Hartford was held Saturday after
noon to consider the question of re-
pairing the old school building at
Wilder or erecting new one The
present building was condemned last
July by the State board of health on
account of bad sanitary conditions.
After much discussion the town
voted to reject the proposition to
repair the present building at an
expense of $500. but voted to build
new one at an expense of not over
$25,O00. The building committee
appointed consisted of r. p. Camp
bell, Robert e Smith and Placid E.
Adams Owing to faulty construc-
tion OF the warning. no money could
be raised to carry the vote into effect
and the matter is left pending the
calling of another ! meeting for that
purpose.

A certain young woman has a

The Hudson BAY Company.

The adventHrous yoyageurs, Ra-
disson and Groseilliers, in the years
between 1868 and 1861 pushed
their steps to Lake Nipigong and
the Lake of the Woods and learned
from the Indians there that great
body of water, Hudson bay, lay
not far away. The outcome of that
pioneer trip was the chartering in
1870 of the Hudson Bay company,
whose existence as a virtual monop-
oily in the fur trade has continued
since then and whose far flung line
of trading posts now marks always
the outermost limits of habitation
in that frozen country.

rhat.paspissd Thirteen.

Italians never use the number
thirteen in making up the numbers
of their lotteries. The superstition
of the people is against it. The
Turks are so prejudiced against the
word thirteen" that it has virtu-
ally been expunged from their vo-
cabulary. No house in Paris bears
the humber "13," and the persons
called "quarterziennes" or 'sfour-
teen," are held in reserve to make
a fourteenth guest at dinner par
ties. The Norwegians never allow
thirteen persons at table because
Loki, the god of malice in the
Morse mythology, once made the
thirteenth guest at celestial BAN
guet and occasioned confusion.

MISSED A TURKEY DINNER.
II Enrased the Ships Captain, but
Amused Admiral Farragut.


Amused Admiral Farrasut.
Admiral Farragut had keen
sense of humor, and on one voyage
we had chance to prove it. 1t
was a ridiculous incident, but it
was a test of the admiral's good
nature, and it happened at sea on
Thanksgiving day. The steward
had spent some time and expense in
preparing big turkey that had
been roasted to turn, and he took
it from the oven that it might not
be overdone while he assisted in the
table decorations. The galley was
steaming with the odors of turkey,
plum pudding and other delectable
viands, and the trusting steward
raised the galley hatch to let the
steam escape. He might have been
more suspicious if he had seen the
maintop men shifting the galley
fumes. They dropped line while
an accomplice below gave two half
bitches around the big bird, and
away it went upward and aloft to
the main top.
When the steward came back he
found nothing but little gravy left
in the pan. The turkey was missing,
and it now became his painful duty
to notify the captain. He awk-
wardly apologized for the missing
bird, but was not prepared for the
fury of the captain.
"Who stole that turkey?" ex-
claimed Captain Pennock. The
welkin rang with his maledictions,
and he offered a reward for any in
formation about the theft, but no
one aboardwould be mean enough to
tell on the maintop men, and the
admiral, [ believe, enjoyed the joke
as much as. the men themselves
With Captain Pennock it was diff
ferent story, and wherever he
walked he was entertained with
cries and loud whispers, "Who stole
that turkeyp" The boom covers
made a good cabinet for those mys-
terious voices, "Who stole that
turkey? All points of the COM
pass disturbed him. Muffled tones
from behind the guns were echoed
more loudly in the rigging, "Who
stole that turkey?" These saluta-
tions kept the captain turning from
one point to another; then the
boom covers would roll out again
the trying question, "Who stole that
turkey"
Pennock, at last exasperated be-
yond endurance, doubled up his fist,
and, indicating with sweep of the
horizon any or all offenders, he
shouted: ooh, you young rascals,
you'll Pll soon know who stole that
turkey, and I'll stop all shore lib
erty until / do find the thief"
happened to be standing within
view of the admiral when his voice
carried to the bridge, and l never
heard the admiral laugh so heartily
as he did then, when he thought he
was unobserved. He enjoyed Pen-
nocks discontinue as much as the
sailors, but was too good natured
to let Pennock discover it. With
the captain it was a serious thing,
but he never did find the culprit. =

OPENING CocoANuTs.
An Odd Sort OF Work, but One That
Gives Regular Employment.

StNes regular emplorment.
In big candy factories they use
many cocoanuts. In removing the
shells from these cocmnuts there
are employed men who work at
this regularly just as they would at
any other trade or calling
A cocoanut opener works at a
bench. Back of him are stacked up
on the floor large sacks filled with
cocoanuts. At intervals he empties
sack of cocoanuts ON the bench
in front of him, and then he goes
on opening.
His only tool is heavy all steel
knife, like an all steel oyster knife,
with heavy solid handle and with
the other end flattening and taper
ing into a round pointed knife. He
holds a cocoanut on the bench in
front of him, and then with one
whack of the heavy handle end Of
the knife he breaks the shell, open
ing it with irregular assures, and
then with the knife end of the tool
he prizes off the shell and tosses the
shelled nut into basket at his
side. An expert opener can shell
great many cocoanuts in day.
But the cocoanut opener is not
the only person employed at the
cocoanut end of the factory. From
the openers bench the baskets of
shelled nuts are removed to table,
at which sit girls who take off the
brown skin with which the meat of
the cocoanut is covered. Knives
made specially for this purpose are
used, and quickly they cut off the
skin and toss the nuts into other
baskets, where you see them now,
not brown, but milk white.
Then the cocoanuts are dumped
into a chute, down which they go
to the floor below into the grinders,
which break the cocoanuts up into
the required degree of coarseness or
fineness, and from the grinders they
go to the cooking kettles. for the
cocoanut for candies must be
cooked before it is used. If it were
used raw it would soon become sour
or rancid from the oil thatt the
cocoanut contains: When the
ground up cocoanut has been passed
through the cooker it. isfreadysfor
manufacture into the various COM
fections in which cocoanut meat is
used.-New York Sun.
