chine made for that purpose, as thin as
writing paper. They are then laid in iced
water for an hour. dried between cloths
and cooked in deep boiling fat. As soon
as they are done they are taken up with
a wire spoon and drained perfectly dry in
hot coander. Much skill and practice
are required to cook them properly.

ny C. r. STEWART

Washington, January 2-(Special)-
Alexander NJ. CARRIER of Birmingham, for
merly attorney general of Alabama, who
has been in washington on legal bush
ness connected with the treasury depart
ment, is very familiar by reason of two
years work on the subject, with the ques-
tion of the cotton claims, legislation upon
which are now pending in Congress, and
an which many persons in Birmingham
and other sections of Alabama and the
south are interested. Mr.. CARRIER was
asked what progress had been made to-
ward the payment of such claims under
the act of Congress passed on March 3,
1911, opening the court of claims to claims
for cotton taken after June l, 1885.
when this law was passed." said Mr..
l(sarber, "every one had expected immedi-
ate payment of the cotton claims to the
heirs of the persons whose names were

of the civil war. Petitions were filed py

whole class. The government is repre-

Gated two chief defenses.
Want of Loyalty
'sThe first of these is the old defense
Of want of loyalty. The people inter-
ested in the cotton claims had supposed
that this would not again be urged. The
act of 1911 is a reopening and extension
of the original act of 1868. which pro-
vided that proof OF loyalty should be es-
sential to the payment of the claims, but
the supreme court 40 years ago decided

The MIX IN the coooanut.

A correspondents of the New York
Sun. referring to an inquiry respecting
the origin and meaning Of the saying,
'This accounts for the milk in the CO
coanut," says that an answer may be
found In the practice remarked by
Captain Marryat In one of his novels
on the occasion of ships visiting the
West Indies, as follows:
On the ships arrival the bunboat
women would flock to it's side, plenti-
fully supplied with cocoanuts, which
were eagerly sought by the sailors, and
on the occasion described by the author
one of the ships officers had selected a
cocoanut, and the bumboat woman
eagerly fnterfered to prevent his re-
cedv1ng the one he had selected, saying,
THAT not for officer; atefdf sailor"
The officers curiosity being aroused.
he asked for cocoanut ''fOr officer"
and at the same time insisted upon get
ting the one originally selected by him.
On opening the two the one "for off,
Ger" was found to be in it's natural
state, containing the SO called milk,
whereas the one ''for sailor" was found
to have had its milk removed and the
place thereof supplied by rum Further
examination disclosed that all of the
cocoanuts for sailor" had thus been
treated.

Placing Of euiIdina stone.


It is, generally spea king, the rule OF
masons that stone used in building
should be so placed that it viii be as
it lay in its natural bed when quarried
This familiar rule is not. however,
always to be depended upon and In
many cases needs to be supplemented
with other precautions. There are
three planes of fracture known to
quarrymen. The riff is the direction
in which stone splits most easily; the
grain" that which is next easiest; the
'ehead" that which offers greatest re-
sistance. In a paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture. the
top and bottom the grain and the ends
the head. But in quarry the natural
bed is sometimes considerably inclined
to the plane of the rift; hence the i'm
