The Iceland Dinner.

In Iceland the natives dinner usual
ly consists of dried fish and butter.
The fish is ling or cod, which, when
caught, is split open and then hung on
the lines By the seashore to dry in the
cold winds and hot sun. When thus
preserved, they will keep for years,
being as hard as the neither milestone.
When wanted for dinner, the fish is
well hammered by a stone mallet' and
then cut up into strips. In this state
1t is eaten, but 1t is said that it
needs an iceiander's teeth to get
through the meal. The butter is not
spread on the fish, but the two are
taken alternately, first mouthful of
fish, then a mouthful of butter. 1t
may easily be supposed that the Ice
lander is thankful to have his jaws
well creased after every mouthful of
the tough morsel.

Franklin Fyles recalls some amusing
first night experiences in his article on
''The Theater and Its People" in The
Ladies' Home Journal. One he relates
is of Laura Don, now dead: "She had
the role of an Egyptian princess in
Fresh, the American 1t was intend
ed that she should be seriously and
sentimentally impressive, while the
late John L. Raymond, the star of the
company, should be contrastingly COM
ical as the lover. But the audience
would not have it so. Nor was it any
thing in Miss Don's appearance, for
she was beautiful, nor in her acting,
for it was clever, that made the people
laugh. 1t came of a ,miscalculation by
the author. The quick witted woman,
seeing that she could not control the
audience, resolved to humor 1t. By an
exagceration of speech and manner
she turned the part into burlesque,
and it was always after acted in that
way"
Mr.. Fyles also tells that sin 'Cleopa-
tra,' as produced by the late Fanny
Davenport, general should have CIV
en- to his queen an impetuous account
of battle which he had won. But he
stood wordless, silent, stuck fast You
have come to tell me- Miss Davenport
said and then went on with the nara
tive which he should have spoken"
