And now' if you wish to trv a new dish, and at the same time dispose of me rat sprawling purslane that is running over your garden beds and paths, let me recommend the dish which Philip, my, most faithful and competent Armenian helper, assures me la "God's medicine," and will "save a good many doctor's bills." The Italians. I find, are bIho vprv fond of It. and It Is reallv verv taut v. In Turkey, Philip says, the purslane Is cultivated and grows much larger and more succulent. It is in great de. niand as a salad plant. This Is the way he cooked It for din. ner the other day. A half nerk of "pussley" was looked over most care fully, then thoroughly washed. It was then put In a saucepan with a little cold water. Cook half an hour (if very young it will not take quite so long). Meantime take three large or four small onions, cut In dice and brown In a frying pan with butter, olive oil or good drippings. Philip used the olive oil. Five minutes the purslane is ready, add the onions and salt and pepper to taste This was served hot as a nrelmle to the dinner instead of soup. Dandelions re served in the same way, and. like purslane, are "God's medicine" and natural purifiers. Washington Star. A theatrical manager at the Players' club said of the school of classical dancing that Miss Isadora Dun- can conducts: "Miss Duncan hears some quaint remarks as she converses with her child pupils. ' One day, preparatory to the first lesson In a dolphin dance, she delivered to her class a little lecture on this fish. She described the grace of the dolphin, and afterward she described its habits and mode or life. " 'And, children,' she said, 'a single dolphin will have 2,000 offspring.'

They had long since dropped the reins and trusted the burros to choose their own way. Mother recalled story after story of men who had perished on those mountain trails and she blamed herself for ever attempting such a journey. Suddenly a welcome sight appeared before the struggling travelers. "The lights of Mr. Dean's cabin! exclaimed Nina. "Oh, mother! We have reached Mr. Dean's ranch and we'll we're still alive! see father!" A funny thing then happened. Both burros began to bray. Mother and Nina laughed and cried at the sound. Instantly the signal was answered. Robert Dean flung open the cabin door and tn a flood of light beheld his visitors. "Well, well, well!" he exclaimed. "Who told you that we re having a Christmas dinner here this evening. turkey and all? Why, Miss Nina, your father Is or was at the table!" The next thing Nina knew she was In her father's arms and mother was removing ber wraps. "Are we frozen or anything, moth er?" asked the child. "No we're all right and so are the burros," was the reply. "Oh, how glad everybody Is!" the little girl exclaimed. "And I'm hungry and and father, we're your Christ mas presents!" Father, for some reason couldn't say "thank you," but didn't speak of returning the precious gifts and It Is doubtful If anywhere In the valley be low there was such happiness as filled the mountain cabin that Christmas eve.
