A Constructive Genius.

Henry N. Flagler, the man who put
Florida on the map, was great con-
structive genius, whose name is sur
rounded by none of the glamour and
glory that are associated with the de-
structive geniuses of war, but which
will nevertheless be held in memory by
future generations because of the
monuments he has left and the pleasure
he has made possible to the millions
who will visit the Land of Flowers in
the years to come.-Columbia Record.

INTRODUCED INTO BY THE MooRs IN $780,

The Saraband was the original song
ambulance number that is still with US
in refined form.
It was a combination of dancing and
singing to the music of a light guitar
air, and the dancer had to sing a
spicy and, one may believe, none too
proper couplet, and strum his or her
accompaniment as well.
The Saraband told a story and the
dancer had to be something of an actor
and illustrate by gesture and facial eX-
preston just what the poem was about.
There was little actual dancing. for
then the singer would have gotten
completely out of breath, but a few
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-20

steps were taken in time to the music
and the body was bent gracefully 20
the rhythm of the tune When the music
was performed by others the dancers
sometimes used their scarfs or shaWs
as properties to help them Illustrate the
story better especially in the later
forms Of the dance.
The verses were home made and gen.
orally described the latest bit of gos-
sip in the village, or they gave a vivid
description Of the last brawl or any
other interesting kind Of story. Nat
urally, the village poet used all the
poetic license needed in the making 81
his tale, and as there were no laws
against SANDER or libel in those days,
disputes that arose were settled at
once with fists or good steel knives
during the dance. This kind of thing
grew pretty general and made the
dance more exciting, as one could never
tell when some incensed person would
take exception to the story told by the
dancer and make things uncomfortable
for all around. When the Saraband
was danced by women the song was
directed against some common enemy
or it was about an imaginary or none
too proper story.
"The Saraband is worse than the
pest: it is a greater menace to tho
good morals of our people than war;"
wrote an earnest and enlightened old
man at the beginning of the seven
teenth century. Other priests hurled
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-20

their condemnation at the Saraband
from pulpit and one Of them even had
his scathing words printed and dis
.tributed them on handbills. which was
a good deal in the days when printing
was comparatively new in Spain.
The Saraband was considered an in
vention of the heather devils, but lit
tie by little the same thing happened
to that dance that is happening now
to the trot. It was tanned down and
all the vulgarity eXpurgated. The old
songs We're thrown out on the rubbish
heap and some Of the suggestive and
indecent steps were eliminated. The
"Saraband,' who had been a degraded
creature of the streets. became a pol
ished lady Of the court, and even the
queen was well acquainted with her.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-20

In this new and idolized form the
Saraband exists to-day and is taught
in dancing schools. though the dancer
does not sing to her own accompani-
ment any more, except in Spain. There
the songs are really poetic and charm
ing or funny, and would not offend
the good old monk who spent his time
denouncing the Saraband and praying
for the souls Of the dancers.
Now, it took the Saraband about 100
years to conform to the laws of COM
mon decency, and it has only taken one
short season Of the Turkey Trot to oe
transformed into the perfectly inocu-
Gus zone step" This teaches us that
the people who say that the world is
not getting better are pessimists and
don't know their history.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-20

a LII the protests we heard last year
~ against the Turkey Trot," the
Bunny Hug" and the other new
dances which have now been eXpur-
gated, vulgarized and made proper
for drawing room use-all this hubbub
was as nothing compared to the out
cries made by indignant citizens Of the
sixteenth century at the popular Sara
band.
Like the Turkey Trot, the Saraba1d
is Of African origin, and along about
1880 was introduced into, Spain by the
Moors, who loved dancing and were not
too particular about its moral intlu-
ences, as long as It was amusing.

of salt often checks this, as in the (
case of onions, causing the vegetables
to retain their peculiar flavoring prin-
ciples. besides such nutritious matter
as might be lost in soft water. For
extracting the juice of meat to make
a broth or soup. soft water, unsalted,

should be retained hard water, or soft
