"All along the coast of Norway sea-
weed Is gathered and burned" writes
the Christiania correspondent Of the
London News. This seaweed grows
IN veritable forests and Is not of the
common grass variety. There are &C
tual trees of it, five or six feet high,
with stems like ropes and leaves tough
as leather. They begin to sprout ear
ly In the year and cover the ocean bed
with a dense, impenetrable brush. AS
source of income the seaweed indus
try now surpasses the fisheries. and it
is more valuable than agriculture even
In one Of the leading farming districts
of Norway. Owners of land abutting
on the seashore are reaping a great
harvest After the weeds have been
burned the ashes are exported to Eng
land, where valuable chemical SUBJ
stances are extracted from them. The
most important Of these products In
iodine"

servants In GERMANY.

A girl engaged in America is By no
means girl secured, as regards either
domestic service or matrimony. In
Germany, on the other hand, the mis-
tress of prospective cook and the
fiance of a prospective bride may feel
reasonably secure when once an under
standing has been reached. "Well, /
will engage you, Hedwig," says the
hausfrau at the close of the interview,
and as pledge of good faith three
marks rs cents are given and receiv-
ed. BY acceptance of this sum. He'd
wig binds herself to appear at the time
and place agreed upon, and If she fails
in fulfllment of the contract, after al
lowing twenty-four hours to elapSs
without having returned the money,
she renders herself liable to criminal
prosecution. Needless to say, breach
of contract under such conditions IL

With a whoop the boys came tum-

their glance fell upon their captive
they jumped upon their uncle and be-
gan to pummel him.

For a moment Evan struggled with
desire to fight back, then he caught
Alice's eye, and he contented himself
with grasping the collars of two sailor
jackets and bringing the twins in front
Of him.
I'll give you dollar apiece as ran
son." he said sternly. Not a cent
more

"Give up the dollar"
Payment was made, and Hoffman
sent word to the mate to head for
home, to the great dlsmay of the
twins, but on this point Evan and
Alice were agreed.
The sun was just sinking in the west
as the Mona, renamed the Scourge,
came In sight of home. From the
bridge Alice and Evan watched the
landmarks loom up, while the twins,
with Evans best binoculars, watched
at the stern for pursuers.

Southern wit.

In the early days Of the civil war,
says Mrs. D. G. Wright in "A Southern
Girl In 81, many northern senators
were especially violent in their denun-
Citations of the seeding states, occa-
sionally much to the amusement of
their listeners.
On one occasion a western senator
ended a speech by declaring that were
certain threatened events to occur he
would "leaye this country and join
some other nation. Even the Co
manches he would prefer to this gov
eminent In such case"
Senator Wigfall Of Texas rose in an
swer and stated in tone Of grave re-
monstrance that he trusted the senator
would consider well before he took
such a step. "for the Comanches had
already suffered too much from CON
tact with the whites"

Calling the Landladx.

A mans curiosity got the better of
him in Back Bay lodging house one
day, and he paid for 1t, as Is usually
the case. He said he hadn't seen the
landlady during his stay Of three
months, the rents being paid to the
housekeeper, and a friend to whom he
made this remark said that she was
around about every da5 in fact, he
wouldn't be surprised If she was in the
house then. To test his confidence he
was willing to wager the cigars that
she was there and his doubling friend
considered it too easy thing to lose,
so he said, Agreed" Then the man
who was certain proceeded to win cas-
lily. Selling plate from the table, he
dropped 1t upon the floor, and in less
than a minute the woman of the house
was on the scene inquiring about the
cause of the noise. The doubter was
satisfied-Boston Globe.

PIRACY AND
PROPOSAL
n EurC M xAnrEAIN
BY EPES W. SARGENT
1905, by Epes W. Sargent

Perhaps one reason why Hoffman re-
spected his nephews was because of
the excellent understanding between
themselves and Alice Cutler. EVAN
was bashful and self conscious in her
presence, but the twins were her
chums, and Evan envied them.
He had been trying for six weeks to
decide whether or not Alice cared for
him, and he was afraid to put his fate
to the test. He was not much of
ladies' man. Until he had seen Alice
his yacht had been his sweetheart, and
cruise with lot of good fellows out
weighed all the allurements of femi-
nine society.
Now he regretted little-just lit
tle-his devotion to the sea- He did
not even know whether Alice thought
Of him as his nephews' uncle or as
himself. Unversed in the ways of
women, he could not decide. He might
have asked his sister, but he dreaded
Gertrude's gibes. so he devoted himself
more than ever to the twins, and thus
gained right occasionally to enter the
charmed circle, the center of which
was Alice Cutler.
Then came the twins inspiration.
Bedtime tales of the Spanish main had
fired their imaginations. Here they
were on the gulf of Mexico, whence
the gold laden galleons had made their
start. Nothing would satisfy but that
they should go upon pirating expedi-
ton.
Their mother was glad enough to be
rid of them for the week the cruise
would occupy, and Alice Cutler manu-
featured most imposing skull and
crossbones flag to be broken out from
the masthead when the quarry should
be sighted. The twins carefully looked
after the saluting cannon and its sup
ply of ammunition, and laboriously
practiced carrying wooden daggers be-
tween their teeth.
Then came the day of embarkation
The twins kissed their mother goodby,

A Cub.

Infant lions and bears are now gen
orally spoken Of as "cubs." but in for
mer times the word "whelps" would
have been used Every edition of the
English Bible from Wyclif's time to
1911 gives "whelp" for the young Of
the lion or bear. A "cub' meant orig
inally in English only young fox. But
by Shakespeare's time 1t was possible
to talk Of the young sucking cubs
Of she bea-, and Waller even applied
''cub" to young whale now known
as 'calf" The origin of "cub" Is not
really known, though the conjecture
connecting it with the old Irish "euib, !"
dog, would make 1t akin to the Lstin
''canis' and English hound"

"a mans dressing room needs full
