1,550 words meaning to give a per-
son a thrashing, 1,300 meaning a fool,

An Edible Seaweed.
Dulse is more frequently eaten than
any other seaweed. It is usually dried
and eaten r^w. In the Mediterranean,
where the plant is common, it is cook-
ed, and is a chief ingredient in Soyer's
famous St. Patrick's soup.
Fashions in Maine.
Up in Aroostook, where new-
fangled ideas in manner of dress are

vests for bathing suits, by putting
their legs through the armholes.—

Food and Civiliaztidn.
Few people realize adequately that
the stomach is the greatest civilizing

"Pshaw!" grumbled Satterfleld.
"I'm not going! I don't dance, anyway."
^But you used
to dance before
we were married,"
protested Mrs.
Satterfleld. "It's
ridiculous for a
man who is only
36 to say he
doesn't dance."
"I don't, I tell
you," said Satter-
fleld, sitting up in
the hammock. "I
admit there once
was a time when
I gamboled over
the waxed floor
with the rest, but
that was when
they had gallops
and prairie queens
and the military
schottlsche on the
programs. Why,
it took me ten years to learn to waltz
—and then just when I had got it
down pat they began the two-step."
"A two-step is just as easy!" said
the girl with brown eyes. "I could
teach you in ten minutes, Mr. Satter-
fleld."
"And if she can't, I can," added the
girl with the blue eyes.
"Don't trust them. Try me instead,
broke in the young woman with the
yellow hair from the porch railing,
where she was perched. "You simply
have got to go to that club cotillon
with the rest of us."
Satterfleld regarded the three
would-be teachers with interest. He
did more—he beamed.
"I never before thought I should
like to learn," he confessed, "but
somehow I have a yearning to do so
now."
"Oh, go ahead!" said Mrs. Satter-
fleld. "Don't mind me."
"She thinks I can't do it," said Sat-
terfleld to the girl with brown eyes
as they swept the rugs off in one
corner of the porch. He carried him-
self with the air of a man used to
accomplishing great things in a few
minutes.
"It's like this," said the girl with
brown eyes as Mrs. Satterfleld at the
piano indoors struck up a two-step.
She skimmed over the floor lightly
while Satterfleld studied her feet.
"Oh, yes," he said. "I see. It looks
very easy. Like this."
"Well, not quite," said his teacher.
"You were doing a galop then, Mr. Sat-
terfleld. Come, try it with me and see
if you can catch the rhythm."
"Was that a galop?" asked Sater-
field in a surprised disbelief. "Yes,
I will catch on all right just as soon
as I dance it with some one. As you
say, I must get the rhythm."
They started and Satterfleld walked
on his teacher's feet and ended by
tripping her over a chair.
"I was looking at the dog in the
front yard," he explained. "I nearly
had it then, didn't I?"
"Well, nearly," gasped the girl with
brown eyes.
"Let me try," said the girl with
blue eyes. "She didn't explain the
step to you at the beginning."
"No," said Satterfleld. "I knew
that was the trouble, but I hated to
say so."
"This way," said the new teacher,
slowly outlining the step. "You un-
derstand? It's terribly easy."
"Perfectly," said Satterfleld. "As
you say, it is very simple. I should
have learned to two-step ages ago, only
I never thought I'd care about it, and
then after a man's married he sort of
thinks the girls would rather dance
with the chaps of their own age."
The girl with blue eyes yanked Mr.
Satterfleld around by main force. He
fcetrajed a tendency in continue the
two-step in one straight line, varying
it by attempting hurdles over the
porch railing and assaults on the win-
dow boxes. When they stopped the
young woman was mopping her fore-
head, totally out of breath.
Satterfleld was flushed but triumph-
ant. "Oh, It's easy!" he said. "Of
course, I make mistakes now and
then, but—"
"Try 4vith me now," said the girl
with the yellow hair. "They have
been taking it too slowly. You don't
get the rhythm."
"That's It," said Satterfleld, irri-
tably. "They forgot all about show-
ing me the rhythm."
"You mustn't be discouraged," said
the girl with the yellow hair.
"Oh, I'm not discouraged," said Sat-
terfleld in surprise.
The music from indoors continued
with machinelike regularity and the
three teachers worked heroically in
relays. At the end of an hour Mrs.
Satterfleld came to the porch to find
the girl with brown eyes lying ex-
hausted in the hammock with a dam-
aged foot and two yards of ruffling
torn from her skirts. The young wom-
an with yellow hair was gathering up
back combs and pins from the floor.
Her friend with blue eyes was re-
pairing her skirt, which was torn
from the belt. Satterfleld was beam-
ing.
"I'm ready to go on," he announced
cheerfully.
"You'd better rest," said hia wife,
hastily.
"Yes, you must rest, Mr. Satter-
fleld," chorused his teachers, also has-
tily.
"All right," said Satterfleld, re-
luctantly. "But it's a pity! I was
just beginning to catch the rhythm."

New England's Totem.
Fish was the foundation of New
England; religion was an incident of
its settlement, and religious freedom
a very negligible quantity. We do
well to hoist the codfish to the sum-
mit of our statehouse; the fish re-
mains while the ferocity of religion
has attenuated to indifference or
worse. The fisherman not the fanat-
ic founded the commonwealth.—Bos-
ton Traveler.
Had to Begin Early.
Lope de Vega was learned when a
mere boy. At five he could read Latin
and Spanish fluently and at 12 he was
master of the tongue and of rhetoric,
while at 15 he had written several
pastorals and a comedy. He is stated
to have produced about 1,800 com-
edies during his life, so perhaps it was
necessary to begin when very young.
Music in America.
The Americans are a really musical
people, for the reason partly that they
can afford to pay for the best of
everything, and therefore hear the
finest artists and the best perform-
ances. There is no orchestra in the
world to equal the Boston Philhar-
monic.—Mme. Melba, in a London In-
terview.

Chewing Gum Justified.
Persistent gum chewers will prob-
ably feel that all their facial energy
has not been wasted if it has pro-
longed the production of chewing gum
until some real use has been discov-
ered for that article. Two better uses
hare been found for it than merely as
an object to distort the face in idle-
ness. One use is as a temporary
solder to stop sudden leaks until the
tinsmith can remedy them. The other
is as a preventive of seasickness. One
traveler declares she crossed the tur-
bulent English channel well and in her
right mind solely as a result of taking
a little pepsin gum and chewing it in
private.
Terse and Truthful.
A despairing debt collector decided
the other day to corner his quarry at
the bar of the Hoffman house in the
presence of a number of his friends,
thinking that by this ruse he would
so embarrrass his man that he would
cither get his money in rage or a
promise in mortification, says the New
York «Times. Advancing gently he
tapped the debtor on the shoulder and
said: "Pardon me, Mr. . When are
you going to pay that small amount
you owe my firm?" The debtor spun
around on his heel and glared. "I'm
no prophet!" he roared. The debt col-
lector retired amid roars of laughter.
Appropriately Named.
The proprietor of an East side bak-
ery, which does a flourishing midday
lunch business as well, is a garrulou.
old chap who has a great deal to say
to all his patrons. And that is why
somebody wrote on the white paint
in indelible characters: "Hot Air

Not Run by an Irishman.
When a French chauffeur brought
an imported machine to the repair
shop one of the mechanics became in-
terested in the ingenious speed indi-
cator which records the distance cov-
ered in the metric system. "It's
surely fine," remarked the man, "but
it would take a Frenchman to read it."
"Do you zink," exclaimed the chauf-
feur, "zat zee masheen eez run by an
Irishman?"
The Greater Love.
"She was engaged to a millionaire,
but she jilted him to marry another
man." "Ah! So she's really marrying
for love?" "For love of money, yes.
The other man's a multi-millionaire."

Where Would We Be Now?
An Englishwoman's declaration that
the failing of the birth rate in Eng-
land is due to the precedence of mil-
linery over matrimony in the hearts
of her fellow women gives rise to
fearful speculations. What if Mother
Eve had gone in for fashions instead
of a family?
