Tbe edible portion of a fresh cocoa-nu- t contains 2,760 calories, while sugar contains 1,800 and la counted a great fuel food. Dried cocoanut averages 3,125 calories. Thus It Is easy to see that cocoanut Is not merely a food adjunct. When we use it it is best not to forget how much nourishment It - a a frame, and the etltch COCOANUT GREAT FUEL FOOD. have some reason to believe that the cocoanut antedates or more specifically that furnished food at the time when the monkeys walked together with their neighbors, not arm In arm. you know, but familiarly. An ancient description of the nut says: "This nut is tbs oest flavored of all the foreign kinds. The whit kernel, although bard, woody, and tough, in its fresh state, is said to be nutritious and, when grated, makes excellent puddings, plea cakes, in candy, eta. It contains a whits liquid called milk, which Is sweet and nourishing, and they should never be purchased, but when this milk Is beard to shake within them. The cocoanut tree furnishes food, raiment, milk, oil, toddy, cups, bowls, cordage, brushes, mats in fact. It is difficult to say what it does not furnish tbs Indian "Tbe Indian nut alone la clothing, meat, and trencher, drink and pan, Boat, cable, sail, and needle all In one." In 1825 there was printed a book which says that the natives of South America mad a sort of butter from the cocoanut not so new a thing, you see, a some people Imagine but the most celebrated product perhaps has been tbs East Indian arrack, an ardent spirituous -- stuff, the name of which has been attractive to seme of the greatest poets. Before distillation the stuff was called toddy. It Is the sap of the tree which la used in this manufacture. The freeb cocoanut does not grata well as pieces which have dried for twenty-fou- r hours In a slow oven, over a radiator, or in any approved way, and it is not as sweet Peel off the breym skin, put In a wire plate, with tissue paper over If dried over a radiator. It will curl up, but It will grata or grind juat a walk A grater with a crank 'and which may be fastened to a table is th best to us not only for coooanut but for horseradish, potatoes for pancake, and so forth.

When I asked him why he was doing o he said: Why, mother, dont you know there is a dog on our porch that I am L. D. C. acquainted with? Clarence was out walking with his mother when sh thought sh heard a boy on the other side of th street calling her boy names. "Sissy! Sissy! Mamina's little sissy boy! " he yelled.

" " H Is," replied Clarence, pulling off wet and muddy, when Philip said, I couldnt use my manners and carry bread at the same time." Juat L. A. C.

Q- Everything Is so high. ficult and the small pieces have to be chopped. One of the less usual but fine ways of using cocoanut Is to grata It fins and color It different colors, then dry It again. One portion of a grated nut may be colored green with spinach -- juice. Pick over and wash the spinach well and drain it. pound it, then put it into a muslin cloth and squeeze the Juice over the desiccated cocoanut. Use beet Juice for another portion and grate off th yellow skin of an orange, mix it with sugar to start the color, and us this to color a third portion of the cocoanut. Sugar with the other colors seem to help. If the colored sugar and cocoanut are wet the whole may harden Into a cake as it dries and it may bd broken all tbe finer, preferably In a mortar, and so b in better shape for a garnish. Keep ths cocoanut thus prepared In glass jars or jelly glasses. For Ftncy Desserts. With this colored cocoanut on hand fancy dishes for dessert may be prepared in abort order. Any dessert topped with whipped cream may be made prettier and dainties by sprinkling a half teaspoon or a little more over the cream one color or all. This colored cocoanut may be used on on icing or on meringues instead of the colored sugars the Europeans use. Th rose or beet colored cocaajjut may be sprinkled on an Icing so as to look Ilk little Cowers, especially like English daisies, with the green used for sepals and leaves. The gold color is good for borders. Plain and easy to prepare Is the fruit dessert called ambrosia, which Is often no more than sliced oranges and the cocoanut, but eome times bananas are added to this mixture. Little cocoanut macaroon are delightfully easy to make, using tbe freshly dried oooosnut, and quit equal to any candy, but tlisy are not so easy to make when tha cocoanut Is grated without drying. For a small number beat up on egg ' white, beat Into It cup of sugar, and then fold Into It half a cup of dried and grated cocoanut. Th best shaped cakea will result If this is made into balls by the finger and pressed down on an Inverted and buttered baking tin, allowing an inch of space between the cakes. Bake in an oven hot etsbugb to give them a delicate quick brown, and do not remove from the tin until they are cold or nearly so. The popular cornflake macaroon exceedingly and widely popular two years ago is Just a cocoanut macaroon with tha cocoanut mad to go farther by using half cornflakes In a recipe ilk the above. It Is a dainty little cake and daintier If the cornflakes are crushed. Chopped nuts may be another addition, and it may have a vanilla flavoring. Used with Curries. Some cooks claim that cocoanut is ths base of all curries, st a person who has been In India told me that It was served on the side like a half dozen or a dozen different condlmental addition to curry, including eliutney and ebtli and Bombay duck, which is a dried fish to be crumbled over th curry. A cocoanut milk Is made by simmering grated cocoanut for an hour or two In water, and this is used for th liquid part or th sauce part of a curry. Some of the curried dishes, fish, ohick-en- , etc., are no more than these meats served in a curry flavored while aauce. A pint of water to a whole cocoanut grated is all that eome recipes give for preparing ahcocoanut milk which may be used in a custard or for a curry eauca . one-fourt- Fresh, home dried cocoanut seems to me far superior In flavor to any that we can get In a package, although what we get is far superior to that bulk etuff which, the grocers used to think made such a pretty display. , It is not so many years since I saw a bushel of it exposed to the duet of a big store. It was shredded cocoanut as vhlte ss the driveu snow. Most food sellers know better today than to do such a thing. When we want to make home dried cocoaput, the first thing we must know how to do is tb get the meat from tha shell. To do this gently pound or tap the shell all over, then bold one end xm a hard surface and crack the shell with a heavy blow. Perhaps the eye end of th nut is ths weakest. Recipes for using cocoanut do not begin so far back as getting it to grate. The grating is usually th point of departure mentioned. If th ail over tap-- . ping has been effective the meat will com out easily in slices of fancy cuts, if knife Is used. Uow to Grate It. to must accumulate a taste for them." flat.
