Bplnach Salad.
Spinach salad can be made from the
leaves both cooked and uncooked. It
the cooked leaves are used they should
be finely chopped and then moistened
well with French dressing, made from
three parts of oil and one of vinegar,
1 and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Put the spinach in a little mound on a
heart of white, crisp lettuce. Another
way to make cooked spinach salad Is
to put the cooked leaves through a
slave, to make a paste of them. Then
form the paste into small balls, about
the stxe of a walnut, and roll these in
chopped nuts. Arrange half a dozen
of them for each plate on a bed of
lettuce leaves. -
An uncooked spinach salad Is this:
Wash and drain a quart of the tender-

salad lxnvl. Add some tender spring
onions, finely cut, and a few mint
1 leaves cut fine. Serve with French

MADE HER VICTORY COMPLETE
- Suffragist Not Only Cenductsd Meet
; Ing, but Mads an Altogether
Unexpected Convert
tone New Jersey suffragist recently
had the honor o( tnaklng a convert out
of a pollceipan who'had tried to break
up the meotlng she was addressing on
the Atlantic City board walk. The
speaker was Miss Mabel Vernon, but
the name of the policeman Is not
given in the account, as it v appears ;
In the New York Evening Post.
Miss Vernon - was mounted on a
roller chair earnestly dihortlngjarge
audiences of-men and women on the
suffrage question when a large police
man pushed his way to her side.
"We never have iv kind of meet '
ing* oo the boardwaliniere, and, there
fore, you will have to stop," he told
the suffragist
"But I have a permit from Mayor
I Riddle and I will not stop," Mis* Ver- i
non replied.
' But the policeman told her that if ■
any one in the crowd wanted her to
stop he would be obliged to disregard
the permit. He asked If anyone ob
jected to her speaking. A small, wea
zened man said he objected, and the ;
policeman told her to stop. But she '
appealed to the. crowd, and they shout
ed for her to go on In such a manner ,
that the pollceipan and the small man
beat a hasty retreat *
Then Miss Vernon followed-the po
liceman and got him to sign her suf
frago petition.
Earth Eating.
Earth eating Is a habit often ob
served in India, and Is very widely
distributed. It often manifests Itself
ias a symptom of disease or perverted
appetite, but among many healthy
people it is a regular, habit. In addi
tion to India, the' Soudan, China and j
the Malay archipelago are mentioned I
as places Where the custom prevails,
but these by no means exhaust the
list. It la said that In Siberia, and
Lapland, earth consisting of the fos
silized siliceous shells of diatoms is
mixed with meal to make a kind of
flour. It Is also said that the Alnus
of Japan used to eat a paste made of
a mixture of dlatomaceous earth. The .
Indians of Guatemala eat a yellowish {
edible earth containing sulphur, not !
so much aa a food, but aa a prophy
lactic against disease. There are peo
pie In Bengal who regard the line
earth of which anthills are built as a
delicacy, and the explanation has been ,
suggested that the flavor Is due to
a digestive fluid added to the earth
by the ant* to make It more easily
worked.

MANY IDEAS OF CONVERSATION
,At All Tlmee Thar* Hava Baan Dtflar
aneaa of Opinion aa to Aft of
ideas.
A Norwegian writer haa been poking
fun at oar methoda or conversation.
It la good for aa occasionally to see
ouraelvea aa other* fee aa. Thia critic
ia intenaely amused at the well-bred
American person«ho regard* it as tm
' polite to talk aboat anything that I*
' Interesting to himself, to refer to any
thing that the other peraon doe* not
know, or to disagree with the ex
pressed opinion of another.
, It is obrloos that, with' such limi
tations, conversation.in the real sense
"of th,e word Is quite impossible.
| The unwritten law that one most
. nftt talk of oneself is on the face of It
a stupid and restricting one. Probably
it originated, aa a protection agalnat -
the arrant egotist, the Individual who
pauses neither for diasent nor ap
proval, bat who maintains a steady
and forcible flow 6f words until' the
]lstener loses consciousness of time
and space, and becomes faint and
giddy through sheer exhaustion.
Such a person Is not a conversation
alist,'but a lecturer, a deliverer of
homlllee or sermons.
The interchange of ideas is the basis
of all conversation meriting the name.
Very different are the Ideas of Utr
erary jpen regarding conversation, Did
not Dr. Johnson say (hat every man
has a right to speak the truth and
| every other man a right to knotek him

Hoalltt gives a description of con
versation a* it was among the llluml
nptl of hla day, the men who 1 Wars tn
tereated in "ideas." "They .squabble
and quarrel over an idea like, doge,"
he saya, "bat they pick'lt bare'to the
bone; they maatlcate it thoroughly."
VENICE SECOND ITALIAN PORT
_
Hsrbor Cspsbls of Apcommodsting
Many Ships, but la Unequal to
Demand Made Upon It.
The fact that It Is separated from
( the city and almoat hidden is the ex-
I planation of " the legend that Venice is
I practically "dead" s a port, whereae
in reality it is the second In Import
ance In Italy aa a point of trans-ship
ment The port consists of two piers
, (eaat and weet), of the qaays whloh
I surround the baatn, and of warehouaee,
etc., at the eaat, but la Inadequate to
the demands made upon it. The har
bor of Venice- can accommodate a
1 larger number of shlpa, which may en
ter the lagoon by the Lido and Mala- j
I mocco and anchor - In the numeroua
canals and baslna. The commercial
port Is, however, much more restrict'
ed, and close*to the city, and oonslsts
of three parta, the basin of St. Mark's,
the Gludecca Canal, and the maritime
station. The basin of St. Mark's,
which st ope time constituted the
chief port of Venice, serves at pres
ent principally as a passage, or at j
most aa anchorage for smaller shlpa.
The Oludecca canal receives ships of
various kinds, but generally sailing
craft, which brings firewood from
Istria, likewise ships with cargoea of
salt for the government storehouses
and with grain for the Btucky mill,
or coal and other merchandlae, when
the maritime station Is fall.

1 late husband, who was one of the

society. The section of 'exotic butter
flies consists of nearly (,000 speci

is particularly valuable as a reference
collection, not merely from the num
ber and careful selection of the forms
represented (some being of great rar

Bird That Has Four Lege. |

Ths young birds, before this modi

limbs not unllks trss toads or young
monkeys. They feed on the young

state the nearest approach to a quad

Buggy Ride With Her.
Did you ever take a buggy ride la
the still of ths evening, down tbs
wlndlag turns of a country pike, with
I the fair one by your sldsT If so, 'nuff
said. With a proper sense of propon
tlon, the old-time buggy waa made to
hold exactly one and a half. The re
sult waa propinquity—slso bliss.
Along the road—all too abort —you
drove. Moo cows moosd In ths dis
tance. Anxious mothers came to ths
door and cried: "W-l-144-el" Bat
you were lost to bovine plaints snd
maternal sollcltsdea. Pungent odors
from ths dog fsnnsl falngled with tbs
faint perfums of ths thlstls's bloom.
Ths night dew lay on the fields, star
light drenched the earth and you dis
covered you had a soul. Ths air was
chill, and you fixed a shawl. Hands
touohsd and withdrew, followed by
most eloquent and ecstatic silence.
Then came the parting, as you "hand
ed" her out at the gate. A whispered
good-by, leet sny other hear, and a
retreating vision of a rosebud fairer
than John D.'s pastor aver dreamed
of.—Washington Post

WHEN THE SEA TAKES TOLL
Lone Survivor of Qallant Crow All
I That the Ufa Savor* Might Bring
Through tho Breakers.
_ The Toaool fought la that laat half
hoar a* It bad fought all day—game
ly, but without hopo. Those who
watched from tho 100 ahord aaw the
whoolbonoo. like a a mashed match
bos; aaw the erased, demented more
meats In the cauldron, drifting here
and there, but always terribly shore
ward. Bee followed sea In wild con
fusion, a great Jungle of mad mon
sters, foaming white at the mouth,
roaring, snarling, snapping with vi
cious teeth. It was nearer now. Only
a few minutes to lire. A great,
shaggy brute, bigger and wilder than*
, the root, charged it, caught It as It
were on the tusks and threw It high to
where It struck, beaten at last, with
Its adee An the otttor rooks. ■*
The Int rocket war true, but as
the Mm fen across the deck a great
green nonater sprang forward and
downward. Only two men camalned
where there had peeo aeveQ. The sec- ;
, ond line fall clear, but the third land
fd. and the survivors tp&de It fast to
t a winch. The chair wae half way
out to them when the next cruel
eharge came. It beat one of them
for, when the shining cataracts rolled
from the deck It was a solitary figure
that clung with arms and legs to the
slippery metal. The buoy .was wait
ing for him, but be dared not move.
He chose his chance well, toppled
across the perilous deck and got him
oelf Into tbe seat. Blinded and stung,
he gripped the rope and was dragged
throyh the welter of waters. His
look was the look of a drowned man
and his chilled hands held the rope
with what sop mod » death grip. It
waa only by force that the rescuers
could unloosen the stiffened lingers
and cirry him to the station.
He gave no algn for a long while,
and even when he breathed again an
hour pasaed before he found his
tongue. He lay there with blank eyes,
his mouth hslf open, his Jaw loose, no
look of comprehension on his face.
Not a word did he speak unftll. outside
j in the shed, the station masoot set to
' barking at the wind.
I The man moved uneaally.
"On do ship," he said, very slowly,
each word opart. "On de ship I haf
had von little dog."
And he wept, unrestrainedly, as a
young girl weepa.—Ban Francisco

I Tooting Wool Fabrics.
| Two good ways of telling whether
or not tho cloth you buy tor "all
wool" Is roally what It Is represented
to be are given by Miss Anabell Turn
er of the home economics department
of the University of Wisconsin In the
Buret New Yorker.
4 • "Unravel a sample of the material
on posing the warp and weft threads
separately," she says. "Wool fibers
. are more curly than the cotton. Then
| burn tome of the threads; If cotton,
they will burn quickly; If wool, more
slowly with an odor like that of burn
4pg feathers or bone.
"If cotton and wool have been spun
together In the same thread the
above test la not reliable. In such a
case, the alkali toot should be used.
Mis together one tablespoooful ot
Lewis lye and one pint of water.
Place tbe sample of goods In B gran
ite dish, cover with eolutlon, and boll
for Ave minutes. At ths end of this
time sll tbe wool will be dlosolved
out lesvlng ths cotton Intact, so that
It Is essy to see bow much cotton wss
used to adulterate the 'pure wool'
fabric."
When Is a Boat Not a Bostf
Harbor officials are In a quandary
ovsr this question; "When Is a boat
not a boat?" It all comee about 1
through the popularity of the hydro
aeroplane, and so far thare Is bo one
connected with tbe government serv
ice who seems to be abel to answsr It.
Tbe officisls whose duties include the
enforcement of the harbor regulations
maintain that it Is a boat snd as such
comss under the regulstions governing
power boats and therefore must com
ply with the laws by csrrylng tbe stip
ulsted equipment of signal horn, lights,
life preservers, eto. On tbe other band,
heofficials of tbe Aero Club ot Ameri
ca as stoutly maintain that It Is not a
boat, but an asroplans, and for proof
I point to the fact that it must have j
| Aero club sanction to participate lu
competitive events and that Its pilots
must operate under an aviator'a li
cense, Just as though It had only
wheels Instead of a hull for water ma
neuvering. Even the tentative court
ot last resort, the American Power
Boat association, confesses Itself
"stomped."

The Observer's line of march (in
Raleigh during the State Kair)
led through at least SO,OO people,
and the men it encountered or saw
under the influence of sowpaw,
could have been counted on the
fingers of one hand, and of men
drunk enough to be "run in" it
saw not one. The present day
public gathering in North Carolina
is so different from the old lnst*p

eral and irresistible. It is a gath
ering of practically new people.
