Tears.

She was crying unrestrainedly. Not
n sound came from the pretty trem-
bling lips, but the great tears rolled
down her cheeks.
The man seemed to enjoy the sight.
A sarcastic smile played about his
cruel mouth as he watched her; in
deed. he looked as If he could never
have smiled any other kind.
The girls beautiful eyes looked up
~pleadingly to his. His tongue seemed
TO lash her like a whip AZ a torrent
of words came kissing from his mouth.
Then she crumpled up and gave way
entirely to her grief.
"Fine, fael" the man cried to her.
1.-TWO hundred feet of that is enough.
Now Wen shoot a little of the next
scene, where you hang by one foot
from a five-story building"
whereupon the lovely girl chucked
the onion overboard.-St. Louis Globe

wooden Shoes for New York.

1t is not strange that enterprising
Dutch shoe merchants have turned
their eyes towards New York as a
possible market for their wooden
wares, both because the city has been
loudly protesting against the inflated
prices of leather shoes, and because 1t
was the original home of the Dutch
settlers in America, who once trod

accept the shoes for their small boys

Valuable coconut Hy.Produet.

A number of oil-extracting plants
have been established in the United
States and Europe to handle copra,
because 1t has been discovered that
the pulp left after the con oil
has been extracted is a very valuable
stock food and can also be used as n
fertilizer, and this by-product COM
mands II good price.
AS a stock food it compares favor
ably with gluten feed, though 1t con-
tains less carbohydrates and more
fat, ash and fibre. The oil is used for
many purposes, including cooking or
for salads, the making of fine soaps,
etc.
There are Mt the present time In the
Philippines approximately 4O,0Oo,ooO
bearing Oconu trees, producing
nearly 1000, 1000, 900 nuts per annum
of which 300, 100000 are made into
copra. A coconut palm will yield
from % to 80 nuts each year, and
they are taken from the tree, when
fully mature. about once every three
or four months. The nuts are collect
ed in piles near the drying or smok-
ing sheds and the outer shell or fibre
is torn away from the hard shell of
the nut by means of u tool similar to
the plowshare. The nut is h split
open with a large knife or bolo, and
the halves, with the meat exposed, are
placed over fires on racks constructed
of wood, and are allowed to remain
there until the meat drops from the
shell. Where IL drying is practiced,
the halved nuts are allowed TO remain
subjected to the suns rays for n pc
riod of about six days, or until the
meat loosens from the shell.

There is a well-knOwn story about a
child being told that animals don't go
to heaven. w%hereupon she inquired
how heaven could flow with milk and

this has appeared. A new modern
youngster on being told the same thing
