In page 37 of Ulysses, Joyce uses the phrase, "Dominie Deasy kens them a'."

This is Scottish for "Teacher [Dominie] Deasy knows [kens] them all [a']" (i.e., "wild sea money").That is, Deasy knows all of the "wild sea money" (or shells, which can represent money).

In this passage, Stephen is walking down the beach with his eyes closed, listening to his boots step over sea shells. This remind him of his earlier conversation with Mr. Deasey (the school master at the school at which Stephen teaches). Page 29 refers to the seashells in Deasey's office, and this is the beginning of Deasey's lecture to Stephen about the importance of saving his money.
