The Danes and Norwegians called their vessels "shek-ka" "shek-ka" or shake. These were long, lean galleys, and the resemblance was further suggested by the dragon's or snake's head which often formed their figurehead. Later on in history, when the Dutch became the great seafaring people, the word passed Into their language, lan-guage, slightly altered (to suit their tongue) to "smak." The Dutch boat was of different build, being fat and bread-beamed. We tn turn took the word from the Dutch, and turned It into oar own smack, using It at first for the small sailing cutter which need te act as a sort of passenger tender for sea going ships. Now, when steam is almost universal, we confine the word almost entirely to the fair-sited open sea fishing boat which works by saO. Curiosity and Firm Jt you were to get a letter In the mall with one corner of the envelope burned off, wouldn't It arouse your curiosity T One day not long ago about 4.000 people in a certain community all got letters whleh'came in envelopes enve-lopes that bore marks of fire. The lower left-hund corner on each had been burned away. This unusual little thing attracted much attention. A merchant about to send out circular letters to the 4,000 people on his mailing mail-ing list wanted to be sure of getting people to notice the letter. Scorching the envelopes did the trick.

It most be remembered that "wheat" is called i "corn" In England. ' Sometimes the I prettiest girl of the village was al- : lowed to cut the final handful of corn. This was then tied up and trimmed I to represent a doll, and was called the ! "Corn-Baby." It was brought home In 1 triumph, set up in a conspicuous place at topper, and often kept In the farmer's farm-er's parlor for the rest of the year. In ether parts of the country the doll was supposed to be representation of Ores, the goddess of fertility. In Hertfordshire the final handful was called a "Mare," and tht reapers 1 weald throw their sickles at it, crying! cry-ing! "X hare her, I have herll."What have your the others would sty.
