Th. Trick of Opening Them as Prac
ticed by the Tahitian*.
Husking a cocoanut Is ona of the
simplest looking operations in the
world, but I have not seen the white
man who could do it effectively,”
writes Beatrice Grimshaw in her book,
“In the Strange South Seas.” Every
native of Tahiti is apparently born
with the trick.
A stick Is sharply pointed ut both
ends, and one end is ilrmly set in the
'-'round. The nut Is then taken in the
bands and struck with a hitting and
tearing movement combined on the
point of the stick, so as to split the
thick, intensely tough covering of
dense eolr liber that protects the nut.
The nut comes forth white as ivory,
about tlie same shape and size ns the
brown old nuts that go by ship to
England and America, but much
younger and more tender, for only the
smallest of the old nuts, which are not
wanted In the islands for copra mak
ing. are generally exported
A large knife is used to crack the
top of the nut all around, like an egg
shell. and the drink is ready, a draft
of pure water, slightly sweet and Just
a little aerated, if the nut has been
plucked at the right stage.
There Is uo pleasanter or more re
freshing draft in the world, and it
has not the least likeness to the "milk”
contained in the cocoanuts of com
merce. No native would drink from
old nuts for fear of lllnes^ as they
are considered both unpleasant and
unwholesome. Only the inllk of half
grown nuts Is used for drinking, and
even these will sometimes hold u eau-
ple of pints of liquid.
'Ihe water of the young cocoanut is
food and drink iu one, having much
nourishing matter held in solution. On
many a long day of hot and weary
travel 1 had cause to bless the re
freshing an 1 restoring powers of hear
en's best gilt to man in tbe tropics, th*
never falling cocoanut.
Spinning on th* Common.
That historic bit of ground known to
the world ns Boston Common hus been
the background of tunny a strange
and picturesque scene. Surely not owe
of tbe varied events which have been
acted upon it presents a quainter pic
ture than one which took place ubout
1750. Mr. Francis Drake describes tlie
occurrence in his article in "The Memo
rial History of Boston” on "Life In
Boston in tbe Provincial Period.”
Iu 17110 an attempt was made in Bos
ton to encourage the art of spinning
nnd to establish schools where the
process could be taught to tbe poor. It
was recommended that twenty spin
ning wheels should be provided by tbe
town for the use of children sent from
tbe almshouse nnd a premium allowed
of £5 for the first piece of linen spun
and woven.
In 1747 a society was organized for
the encourugement of the industry, and
the fourth anniversary was publicly
celebrated.
"In the afternoon.” says an old ac
count. "300 young female spinsters, de
cently dressed, appeared on the com
mon with their spinning wheels. The
wheels Were placed in three rows, a
female at each wheel. Weavers also
appeared in garments of their own
weaving. There was an immense num
ber of spectators."

Tempting Fata.
“Dost bear that?” asked the fair
maid mentioned by the Atlanta Jour
nal. There was a sound of a heavy
step.
“’Tis father. Fly, sweetheart, fly!”
"You mean flee.” corrected the lover.
“As you like.” said the maid, "but
this is no time for entomological dis
tinctions.”
For Emergencies.
A banking reserve is for use, not
merely for show. It is for use in ttmeB
of emergency. Yet some bankers look
upon their reserves very much as the
superintendent of a hospital regarded
its emergency bed. A patient all bang
ed up In an accident was brought to
the hospital one night and was told
that there was no room for him. “Why
not put him In the emergency bed?” it
was suggested. “If we put him In the
emergency bed.” It was replied, "then
we would have no emergency bed.”

Mother (examining school report)—
How did you come to have such good
marks in arithmetic this week? Tom
my—Well, you see, it was this way:
We had ten examples a day, and I got
the teacher to help me to do five, and
Eric Jones got her to help him on the
other five. Then we swapped helps.

Impartial.
“Mr. Scatterton prides himself on
being strictly impartial.”
“Yes,” answered the unamlable man.
“I owe went shooting with him. He
didn’t seem to care whether he hit the
rabbit, the dog or one of his friends’."
The Dangerous Casa.
One of tbe surgeons of a hospital
asked an Irish help which he consid
ered the most dangerous of the many
cases then in the hospital. "That, gtr,”
said Patrick as he pointed to a case of
snrgicai instruments.
Author* Who Died Leaving Stories
Partly Written.
Many writers, including the famous
Oulda, have died leaving behind
them unfinished books. One of tbe
best known is. of course, Dickens
"The Mystery of Edwin Drood," a re
markably clever story, and one show
ing no signs of diminishing vitality,
although he was actually at work
upon it up to within a few hours o."
his death.
Dickens’ great rival, Thackeray,
again, left behind him not one only,
but two unfinished stories. One of
these, "Denis Duval,” promised to
rank with ills best work. Unfortunate
ly, however, he had completed only
seven chapters when he was stricken
down.
Scott, too, left u tale unended—"The
Siege of Malta"—written while he was
on his last futile Jouruoy iu seureh of
hen 1 tli. This work has never been
published, although more thun two-
tblrds of it was completed at the time
of his death.
Thou there was "St. Ives." left un
finished by It. L. Stevenson, as was
"Zeph," by Helen Jackson, and
“Blind Love," by Wilkie Collins. Buc
kle never completed his "History of
Civilization," although he toiled at it
for twenty years.
Among famous poems that were
never completed mention :nny be made
of Byron’s "Don Juan,” Keats’ "Hy
perion.” Coleridge’s "Chrislabel” nnd
Gray’s "Agrippina.” Spenser's “Faerie
Queene," too, Is no more than a frag
ment, although a colossal one.
I-astly, there ought to be included
Ben Jonsou’s beautiful unfinished pas
toral, "Tlie Sad Shepherd,” found by
Ills literary executors among IiiH pa
pers after his death, and published in
its Incompleteness.—Pearson's Weekly
Th# Deacon and the Prayer.
“I didn’t like your prayer very much
this morning," said a fault finding den-
con to his minister.
"What wus wrong with it?"
"Well, In the first place it was too
long, and then I thought it contained
two or three expressions that were un
warranted."
"I am very sorry it meets with your
disapproval, deacon,” tbe good man re
sponded, “but you must bear in mind
that the prayer was not addressed to
yon.”
Fairies.
The masses of Greeks and Romans
and the rank and file of people
throughout the middle ages thoroughly
believed in fairies, gnomes, etc. The
child ftas no doubt about the existence
of Santa Cluus, Jack Frost and a lot
of other strange personages, and when
the mind of the race was in its child
hood state men were prepared to be as
foolish in their beliefs as tbe little
children are in all ages.—New York
