Pendleton is now in the metropoli-

The Earlv Drum.

Drums are probably an eastern idea
introduced by the crusaders into Eu-
rope. They are frequently mentioned
in accounts of the first crusade. When
Edward III. of England and his
queen made triumphal entry into Ca
lais in 1347 ''tambours" were among
the instruments which were played
in their honor. Another of these was
called a "nacaire" or kettledrum, tax
en-, together with it's name, from the
Arabs. The poet Chaucer also men
toned this instrument in his descrip-
ton of the tournament in "The
Knights Tale" The king generally
kept a troop of these bandsmen or
minstrels in his employ, and we read
that Edward II. on one occasion gave
sum of 60 shillings to Roger, the
trumpeter; Janino, the nakerer, and
others for their performances. An
other minstrel was called the "che-
veretter," or player on the bagpipe.

be preferred to ear. The most nat

citation of the word. which czar does

Slavonic word. which some authorities
are agreed Is not derived from the
Latin caesar. but there are authori-
ties who hold that its ultimate deriva-

of the common spelling is supposed
to be the writings of Herberstein.

Bermondscy's association with the
tanning industry was originally due
partly to its fine oak woods and partly
to the fact that the London slaughter
houses were to large extent situated
in Southwark, on the questionable
side of the river. For brief period,
however, it enjoyed a certain fame as
health resort. That was, as Sir Hen
ry Trueman Wood reminds us in In
dustrial England In the Eighteenth
Century" when ''terror stricken crea.
lures fled from the ravages of the great
plague in the city of London to the
Bermondsey tan pits to find strong me-

The Milk In the cocoanut.

Probably everybody has wondered
Rt 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 analyses. how
ever, have dissipatcd the deusion that
the fluid has anything in common with
real milk. 1t contains only 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 present is
mannitol, the sweet principle Of man
ma, which is sometimes found also in
wine as a product of normal grape
sugar. The question has been dis
cussed us to whether it would be prof
table to extract the cocoanut water
for the sake of it's cane sugar, but as
this amounts to only one-tenth per
cent the process would not be com
mercially successful in spite of the
water being a waste product. Even
If the water contained ) 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. - New York
