FALLING C0C0ANUTS. Dew Makes Mott Them Drop Frem the Trees at Night. "lu the tropics when the cocoanut Is wanted for planting," said an importer of the fruit, "the nuts are picked, np when they fall from the tree where they have bung for about fourteen months in ripening. It is a fact not generally known that a majority of the nuts drop at night, which probably accounts for the small loss of life by cocoanuts falling upon the heads of the natives. "The action of the heavy dew at night loosens the seal with which nature has provided the nut and allows It to fall.

The nuts wanted for planting are either gathered into heaps or placed under sheds, where they are allowed to sprout before planting in order that good, healthy nuts may be selected, thus avoiding the possibility of planting 'blind' nuts that will not sprout, in which case much time would be lost in starting the cocoanut walks, as the orchards are called. When holes are dug, about three feet deep and twenty feet apart, the nut Is carefully placed therein and covered with about a foot of soil. The hole Is filled as the sprout grows until the latter reaches the surface, then It is left to lfself, requiring no further attention. Should the place where the cocoanut Is planted be any great distance from the seashore a quantity of salt Is placed in the hole. The plant will grow in luxuriance, however, but a short distance from the shore, nearness to salt water being absolutely essential to its welfare." Washington Herald.

MAKING STEAM WORK. Unfortunate Inventors Who Antedated James Watt. James Watt took out a patent on his steam engine in 17G9, but as far back as 1543 there was a captain In Spain who constructed a vessel of 200 tons and propelled it at Barcelona in the presence of the Emperor Charles V. and his court by an engine, the construction of which he kept a secret But an old document says that In- It was a monster caldron of water and that there were two movable wheels on the outside of the vessel. The emperor was satisfied with Its operation, but the treasurer of the kingdom objected to it, and so no encouragement was given to the enterprise.

The poor Inventor, whose name was Blasco de Guerere, wearied and disgusted at the want of patronage, took the engine out of the vessel, and the secret of the machine was buried in his grave. The incident was almost duplicated in France a century later. The famous Marian de l'Orme, a celebrated Frenchwoman, who lived to be 134 years old, told in a letter to an admirer, dated 1G41. of a man confined in a madhouse of Paris for urging that anything could be done by the force of steam. The man's name was Solomon de Coste, a native of Normandy, and it was because he had persistently followed Cardinal Richelieu.

If Lord" Houghton talked more than most people he certainly was eclipsed by Mr. Browuing, who spoke louder and with greater persistency than any one I have ever come across in my life.

Although I had known him as a girl, we did not renew our acquaintance until after my marriage, when I saw a great deal of him, as he constantly came to our house. He dined with us often and used to come and see me generally every Sunday afternoon. He was very agreeable and kind, and, although I was never one of his devoted followers and often told him I had never been able to read a line of his poetry, he still continued his friendship with me. I think most people feared rather than loved him certainly men did, but women adore poets, and they worshiped Mr. Browning.Froni Lady St Heller's "Memories." Forgot His Own Tongue.

A traveler in arctic Siberia, Mr. Van-derlip, a gold hunter, told the following of his return to civilization: "I found that half a dozen of the officers and men of the steamer which my employers had sent for me had come to hunt me up. The captain dismounted, and I tried to address him In Russian, hut he said. 'You forget that I speak Now. It may seem scarcely credible, and yet It is true, that for a few momeuts I was totally unable to converse with him In my native tongue.

I had not used a word of it in conversation for months, and my low physical condition acting on my nerves confused my mind, and I spoke a jumble of English, Russian and Korak. It was a week before I could talk good, straight English again." Potato Scones.

Aunt Melissa Splgott was such an exceedingly energetic talker that the youngsters of the family used to sup-pose that her tongue must be copper toed, because it never wore out Uncle Silas, on the other band, was as economical of words as a marketman Is of early strawberries. The too free exercising of this unruly member of Aunt Melissa's on one occasion gave Uncle Silas serious offense, which he manifested by a se vere silence lasting for several days. At the end of that period one of the older daughters approached her mother upon the subject with the remark, "Ma, seems like you ought to make up with pa by now." "Make up with pa!" exclaimed Aunt Melissa in great astonishment. "Make up what?" "Why," returned the daughter, "don't you know poor pa's feeling bad yet? He's still huffing." "Hufling for the land's sake! How long's he been a-hufiing?" "Ever since you came down on him so hard about wasting sugar by not stirring his coffee: that's three days ago." "Why. you don't tell me.

Janie Maud!" Aunt Melissa looked amazed. "Your pore pa. Been a-huffing for three days, and I never mistrusted a thing of it!" Youth's Companion. LOADED SILKS. The Way the Fabric Is Adulterated to Increase Its Weight.

If properly handled silk is the strongest and most durable of all textile materials, but the various processes of manufacture that remove much of the natural gum cause It to lose so large an amount of Its weight that unscrupulous dyers and manufacturers resort to "loading." dipping the thrown silk into a solution of bichloride of tin. Some are not content with restoring the original weight of the raw silk, but "load" it until its weight is multiplied three or four fold. This operation makes the skeins more valuable, but it destroys the durability of the filaments. Stretching ththreads to their elastic limit, so that a given weight will weave a greater number of yards, and steaming to give the material an un natural luster are other processes that prove profitable to manufacturers, "but costly to the consumers and that cause many people to regard silk as an uncertain and treacherous fabric, with an inexplicable tendency to split, crack and fall into holes, even though pack ed away in drawers or hanging up. The use of cheap, inferior and di structive dyes is another practice equally Injurious and perhaps still more common.

The boy had good stock in him. however, and managed by turning over a new leaf, practicing strict economy and doing odd Jobs of work as opportunities presented themselves to pay for his mi tion, and stayed on. "How's your boy doing at college'' asked the elder Timmins' next neigh bor one day. "He's getting along all right now." "I hear he's working his waj through." "Yes." grimly, but with a gleam or pride, answered Farmer Timmins. "He found he couldn't work me any more." Youth's Compaulou.
