Brazilian cocoanut palms live
from 600 to 700 years, and the
Arabs assert that the date palm
frequently reaches the age of 200
to 800 years, says the Dundee Ad-
vertiser. Wallan's oak near Pals
ley, Scotland, is known to be over
700 years old, and there are eight
olive trees on the Mount of Olives
near Jerusalem which are known to
have been fourishing in 1899. The

ereat..t Volcanic Eruptien,

The greatest volcanic eruption OF
ell history was the eruption OF
Krakatoa, in the strait Of Sunda,
between Java and Sulnatra, in 1883.
1t caused a cloud seventeen miles
high. 1t was heard 5000 miles
away. If ii had taken place in Lon
don, it could have been heard in
New York, Constantinople, st. Pc
tersburg, Cairo, Egypt, and Green
land. The velocity Of the explosion
was three times that of an Arm
strong gun, 1t raised tidal waves
100 feet high that rolled UP on Che
land for miles. 1t created dust finer
than any rock can be ground by
man. This dust was carried around
the earth for three years in the dir:
1t caused air waves that encircied
the earth several times: It broke
windows more than 100 miles dis
tant.-New York American.

PRESCRIPTIONS.
Reasons Why They Are Written In
latin by Physicians.

81 don't sec," said the man who
was leaning against the drug store
counter, "why Il doctor can't write
his prescription in English instead
of Latin"
The druggist said: "You think,
suppose, that the doctor writes his
prescriptions in Latin so it can't be
read so easily-so the layman can't
steal his trade and learn what he is
giving him. But that's wrong. In
the first place, Latin is more exact
and concise language than English
and, being dead language, does not
change, as all living languages do.
"Then, again, since very large
part "of all the drugs in use are
botanical, they have in the pharma-
copoeia' the same names that they
have in botany-thes scientific
names. Two-thirds of such drugs
haven't any English names and so
couldn't be written in English.
*"But suppose a doctor did write
prescription in English for an UNI
educated patient The patient reads
it, thinks he remembers it, and so
tries to get it filled from memory
the second time. Suppose, for in
stance, it calls for iodide of potas-
SUM and he gets 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 mackerel.
That's an exaggerated case, but it
will serve as an illustration. Don't
you see how the Latin is q protec-
ton and a safeguard to the patient?
Prescriptions in Latin he can't read
and consequently doesn't try to re-
member.
tNow for final reason. Latin
il language that is used by scien-
tifc men the world over, and no
other language is. You can get
Latin prescriptions filled in any
country on the face of the earth
where there is a drug store. We
had prescription come in here the
other day which we had put up orig
inally and which had since been
stamped by druggists in London,
Paris, Berlin, Constantinopler Cairo
and Calcutta. What good would an
English prescription be in st. Pc
tersburg?"-New York Herald.

A curieu. st.a. Custom,

It is not generally known that
the last three OF four words 81" a
new dramatic production are never
spoken during the period of the re-
hearsal of the piece: Most frequent
ly they are never written by The
author.
The superstition of the theatrical
world is that it would be certain to
bring bad luck to the piece if the
last words were pronounced on the
stage before the first night. But as
the play must have an end, and it
should be known to all present that
it is at an end, the actor or actress
Entrusted with the last lines usually
interpolates word or two. For in
stance, the actor would say, sMy
dear girl, my dear boy, kneel before
me, that I may forgive you and
bless you with-a farthing cake.''-

One Boy Knew.

A teacher tells. of an experience
he had recently. He was put in
charge of lot, of boys one day and
was trying to make them under
stand that. all good comes from one
source. As an illustration he told
them of building house and put
ting water pipes with taps in all
the rooms, these pipes not being
connected with. the main in the
street. He said to them:
Suppose l turn on tap and no
water comes, what is the matter?"
He naturally supposed that some
Of the boys would answer that the
water was not turned on at the
main.
But they didn't. On the con-
trary, one boy at the foot of the
class called out:

"Laissez faire" is a term met
with frequently in books on polit-

in conversation or in political

to let alone, and among economists
it implies that policy which does

will in its own way and in its owr
