Why latin is Used BY Doctors.

II don't see," said the man who waE
leaning against the drug store cou1-
ter, "whr doctor can't write his pre-
scriptions Ill English, instead OF
Latin"
The druggist said: ''You thinb, l
suppose, that the doctor writes his
prescription in Latin SO il. cant be-
read so easily so the layman cant
steal his trade and learn what he is
giving him. But that's all wrong. In
the first place, Latin is q more exact
and concise language than English,
and, being C. dead language. does not
change, as ell living languages do.
"Then, again, since very large
part OF ali tie drugs i'll use are botan-
icel, they have in the pharmacopela
tho same names that they have IL bot:
any-the scientific names. Two.t thirds
Of such drugs haven't aDy English
names, and so couldn't be written in
English.
"But suppose doctor did write
prescription in English for an unedu'
Gated patient. The patient reads it,
thinks he remembers it and so tries to
get it filed from memory the second
time. Suppose, Tor instance, it called
for iodide OF potassium and he got it
confused with cyanide of potassium.
He could safely take ten grains Of the
first, but one grain Of the second
would kill him as dead as q macllere].
That's an exaggerated case, but it will
serve for an illustration. Don't You
see how the Latin is protection and
safeguard to the patient? Prescrip-
tions in Latin he can't read, and con-
seauently does not try to remember.
"Now for final reason. Latin is
language that is used by scientific
men the world over, and no other lan-
guage is. You can get q Latin pre-
scription filled in any country or the
face Of the earth where there is q drug
store. We had a prescription como
in here the other day which NC had
put up originally, and which hal since
bean stamped by druggists in Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Constantluople,
Cairo and Calcutta. What good would
m English prescription be in st.
Petersburs?"
"Got any good tooth POWDER"
asked the man leaning against the
cour Ter. New York Herald.

oree: Denizens Of the Sea.

More than one species Of fish is met
with taaS cannot swim, the most sin
gular Of which, perhaps, is the NAL
tina, Brazilian fish, whose organs Of
locomotion only enable it to crawl, or
walk, or hop, after the manner of a
toad, to which animal this fish to
some extent bears resemblance, and
it is provided with long, upturned
snout.
The anterior (pectoraD fms OF the
maltha, which are quite small, are not
capable OF acting on the water, but
can only move backward and forward,
having truly the form Of thin paws.
Both these and the ventrsl and cna!
fms are very different from the similar
fms in other fishes, ana could MOI
serve for swimming at al.
Other examples OF non-swimmine
fishes include the sea horse, another
most peculiarly shaped inhabitant Of
the sea, which resembles the knightin
a set of chessmen; and the star6sh, Of
which there are many specimens,
which mostly walk and crawl on the
shore or rocks, both being unable to

American Oak Forests.

The Northwestern Lumoerman calls
attention 10 the fact that the magniti-
cent oak forests north Of the Ohio
River, in the central part OF the
Northern States. have largely tiisap-
peared Within tie last five years
therc has baen all increasing demand
for oak, in spite Of business depres-
sion. more especially for zach timber
as goes into house finishing, including
plain and quarter. sawed red oak and
white oak. Tue duration Of the Wis
consin red oak supply is now pretty
plainly indicated, and in the meantime
remnants Of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan
and Southern Illinois oak will have
disappeared, except in small farm
buildings. anl the great bulk OF the
supply will thereafter come from south
of the Ohio. OF course, there IS oak
in all the Southern States, but the ell
lurial bottom lands must furnish the
great bulk OF the timber, snd as Ken
tnck7 and Tennessee and West Fir-
ginia ore partly denu3ed, the main
supply will soon be derived from the
lower Mississippi and its tributaries.
If the finest area o: oak timber IN
the world, namely. that north OF the
Ohio River. has been stripped while
the cou1!ry's population and indus
tries were comparatively small, how
long will The remaining supply last
when the needs are measured By our
future population aud industrial de-
velopmeuts? Walnut is gone; cherry,
birch AMI maple will not last many
wears. aud thereafter the demand for
oak will be much greater and will rap
idIv increase It must be rem e.nbered,
too, that oak lands are good for agri-
culture after the timber is cut, and
for this reason the ieaudation will go
on With greater -apidity than on the
lands less valuable for tilIage. When
the tide Of emigration sets strongly

TIE report of the Commissioner o!

year 1884, there bas been q decrease
in land entries Of 10, OBS, and Of g..

Gates the theory OF some economists
VINO profess to find an explanation Of
the superior condition Of the masses
in this country in the fact thst as soon
as work becomes difficult to obtain IN
cities the surplus population finds its
way into agricultural pursuits. The
reverse, however, seems to be the cnse.
When work is abundant in cities the
wild agricultural lands are freely
taken up, but when The working
classes in the city cannot find employ
ment the business oE farming ceases to
have ellurements. The explanation is
simple, remarks tle San Francisco
Chronicle. Wh4n me manufacturing
industries OF the county are thriving
ani the workers in the Jiroan districts
are earning good wages, the farmer
aud fruit raiser can sell his products
at good prices; when work in factories
is scarce and wages low the profits OF
agriculture disappear and there is nc
temptation to engage II the pursuit.

autouraph Furniture Fad.

e'The autograph furniture fad is
not exactly new, but is decidedly in
creasing," said West End furniture
dealer to a writer in Answers, who
produced for the inspection OF the

appeared hundreds Of autographs OF
celebrities, these being largely literary
and dramatic.

but in many cases the surface to be
written upon is simply good cardboard

us to be vanished over, and we can
get such surface that the autographs
are fully protected without glass,

Rulings of Assistant Attorney Genera.
Thomas on Lotteries.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-Assistant At.
torney General Thomas of the postof.
fee department has made some impor.
tant rulings governing offenses Of a
lottery nature. In connection with the
newspaper notices, the department
rules that it is iminnterial whether the
result of a lottery drawing is published
as news, without pay, or us an adver.
tisement with pay Newspapers con.
tanning the result of the awarding Of
such prizes arc nonmuilablc. The only
exceptions made IRE in the cases OF
newspapers publishing such matter in
order to expose the concerns and crush,
or cripple their business, u policy
which is held to be in line with the
spirit of the law.
The department also decides TINT the
awarding of n p:izc to a person guess.
ing nearest the number of seeds in a
watermelon would be q lottery, though
the guessing OF tho weight Of u melon
would not constitute n lottery il tho
guesses We're made after tho melon had
been lifted. The award of n prize tG
one suggesting the number of beans in
q clear glass bottle, il plain view, is
also held to be a lottery.
The only way of removing a chance
element is to announce tho size of the
vessel and the size of each article ,.nt
into it, which, however. would not ap.
ply to beans. corn, oats Or other articles
of variable size and shape. as tho mum
