Sea-Teed for Food.

The use of sea-weed in Ireland as an
article OF food is not new to the people
who dwell along the coasts. In the
very best of times they consume con-
siderable amount of the choicest yarie-
ties for medicinal purposes. That
which has the greatest popularity grows
luxuriantly upon rocks that are r E sub
merged during high tide. The saving
process is a very simple one. At low
tide the wives and daughters of fisher
men gather it in baskets and spread it
in such way that it will catch the sun.
l he effect of this treatment changes its
greenish color to dark purple. and it
IS then stored in bags. On the western
coast the people call it diiusi, and
sell it to summer visitors. As an
appetizer it is considered very effective.
1t is a common sight at the western
watering-plac to see the children
munching it during the midday airngs
on rock and heath. But as the effect Of
this kind of sea-weed is to increase
rather than allay hunger in those unac-
customed to its use, the natives OF the
coast line can not be expected to derive
much nourishment from it as a contin-
uous diet. As a matter of fact they
do not. A woman in the County Clare
a few years ago, through the desertion
of her his and and her inabilityto walk
to a village few miles distant, was
compelled to substantially on sea-weed.
She ultimately died of starvation, and
the stomach was found to be almost
full of sea-weed. In the County Done
gal, according to the latest cable re-
port, the residents OF the vicinity of
GWeedore, a little postal village. have
been driven by the scantiness of pro-
visions to make the principal meal OF
the day on sea-Weed. 1t is, therefore,
not surprising thai every house has one
or more Of its inmates OH the sick list.
III the kind of sea-Weed which is known
in this country as irish moss and in
ireland as carrageen, was more plenti-
full in Donegal the suferings Of the peo-
pie would not be so great That is
really capable OF atfording much more
agreeable and nutritious food than
any other ef the five hundred or more
varieties Scores of peasant women
live by gathering it from the rocks in
summer. They spread it upon the
grassy slopes near the ocean until it
Whltens and. hardens in the sun, and
then pack and ship it. It is like Irish
.mild-cure bacon too valuable Tor
home consumption. Carrageen is still
used by well-to do Irish families for

fore its medicinal virtues were pro-
claimed to the world the peasants Of
the coast had it nearly all to them
selves. During late years they have
been content with an occasional meal

A remarkable instance of presence Of
mind on the part of an actress is re-
ported from Chelseaville, in Texas. At a
part Of the piece where she was the only
person on the stage she was informed
from the wings that fire had broken
out behind the scenes. Instead of MAX
ing precipitate retreat, and thereby
causing disastrous panic-as nine per-
sons out of ten in her position would
have done-she quietly ordered the cur
tain to be lowered, and, stepping to the
footlights, she said to the audience:
Ladies and gentleman-A drama in
real life as terrible as unexpected has
just been enacted behind the scenes.

prevents, of course, the continuance of
the performance. The bodies have
been removed to a neighboring house,

lie, whose curiosity was naturally very
much excited, cleared the theatre with
the utmost promptitude, but without
accident, no one feeling the sense of
danger which constitutes, in fact, the
greatest peril on such occasions; but,

whether he starts from rock, bank

from the London Times.l

From the London Times.l
The Chinese authorities in the Prov
ince of Chekian are congratuIating
themselves at having put an end to the
depredations of a successful pirate and
bandit who had made the ne1ghborhood
of Ningpo the scene of his exploits dur
ing the last four years. His name is
Rwang Chiu Man, and he had his home
in some of the mountain Businesses be-
tween Taichow and Yenchow, whence
he sailed forth on his plundering ex-
petitions. One popularity of his opera
tons which seemed to show that he may
have cherished some political ambition
of his own was that he never interfered
with the poor. He reserved all his at
tentions for the wealthy, and particu-
larly for the officers of the government.
His good fortune was not less conspIc-
uous than his activity, and all the ex-
petitions dispatched against him failed
to effect the object with which they
were intrusted. 1t was said, and pro-
baby with truth, that he owed his safe
ty to his popularity with the working
classes, for it always happened that
either the plans of the imperial COM
manders were divulged to him or that
their forces were led into an ambuscade
by one of his numerous spies. But
now his career of adventure has closed
not, as might be supposed, by his
capture and condign punishment, but
by his being taken into the emperor's
service.

Salaries of Prima DOnnas,
rFrom the London Court Journal. !

from the London Court Journal
There is growing feeling now, only
felt by managers, that the payment to
prima donnas is being overdone, and that
it is an injurious exaggeration, as far as
art is concerned, of the true value of the
article. Millionaires have, however,
up the folly, and pay in excess
now entered the list to back
that is, not excess of demand. There
are two, perhaps three. supremely great
vocahsts, who are still able to draw large
audiences by their own unsupported
efforts. But they are not likely to have
any successors. A precedent may be
quoted. From statement in the anus.
ing book written by Mr.. Ebers, for seven
years manager of the kings theater,
IN the Haymarket, it appears that the
largest salary drawn by any artist dur
ing the season of 1923, with the sole ex
ception of the charming Nine. Camper
ese, fell to the share, not of a soprano
or tenor, but of male dancer, M.
Coulon by name. The male dancer, with
his pas and e1trechdtS, the stereotyped
grin, is an extinct species on the London
stage. Like Carlyle's prerevolutionary
duchesses and marchionesses. he has
danced away into eternity, never to re-
turn, let us deyoutly hope. The time
may come when the prima donna in the
modern acceptation of the term will be
