A curiou. STAGE Custom.

1t is not generally known that
the last three or four words of a
new dramatic production are never
spoken during the period of the re-
hearsal of the piece. Most frequent
" 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
intrpsted with the last lines usually
interpolatcs a word or two. For in
stance, the actor would say, ''My
dear girl, my dear boy, kneel before
me. that l may forgive you and
bless you with-a farthing cake."-

Greatest Volcanic Eruption.

The greatest volcanic eruption of
ell history was the eruption of
krakatoa, in the strait Of Sunda,
between Java and Sumatra, in 1888.
1t caused q cloud seventeen miles
high. 1t was heard 5000 miles
away. If it 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 the
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 air.
1t caused air waves that encircled
the earth several times. 1t broke
windows more than iG0 miles ais-
tant.-New York American.

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 a 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 a 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:
ssYou didn't have your water rate
paidw-London Mail.

Long Lived Trsee.

Brazilian cocoanut palms live
from 600 to 700 years, and the
Arabs assert that the date palm
frequently reaches the age of 200
to 300 years, SAYS the Dundee Ad-
vertiser. Wa|lan'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 tourishing in 1899. The
yews at Fountains abbey, York
shire, were old trees when in 1882
the abbey was built, and a redwood
in Mariposa grove, California, is a
manifold centenarian. Baobab trees
Of Africa have been computed to be
over 5000 years old, and the decid-
uous cypress at Chapultepec is con-
sidered to be of a still greater age.

PRESCRIPTIONS.
Seasons Why They Are Written In
Latin BY Physjcjans,

81 don't see," said the man who
was leaning against the drug store
counter, "why a doctor can't write
his prescription in English instead
of Latin"
The druggist said: tsYou think, 1
suppose, that the doctor writes his
prescriptions in Latin 50 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 a more exact
and concise language than English
and, being dead language, does not
change, as all living languages do.
'Then, again, since a very large
part of all the drugs in use are
botanical, they have in the pharma-
cspoeia the same names that they
have in botany-the 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 un-
educated patient. The. patient reads
it, thinks he remembers it, and so
tries to get it filed 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 a 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.
"Now for final reason. Latin
Is language that is used by scien-
tific men the world over, and no
other language is. You can get
Latin prescriptions filed 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, Constantinople, Cairo
and Calcutta. What good would an
English prescription be in St. Pc
tersburg?"-New York Herald.

MEANING OF MUSIC.
What Il Can and What Il Cannot Say
to You.

to You.
Music is called the universal Ian
,guage, and yet when you are strug-
Cling to understand what COM
poser is trying to say always remem-
Der that he is speaking primitive
language that frames vaguely a sem
timent or a mood or a tangled fab
ric of sentiments and moods.
"The best definition l ever heard
of music" says Rupert Hughes in
the Delineator, els that of Taine,
Music is a cry and, to my thinking
at least, the best music is that in
which to the largest degree each
note represents an cutlery. But then
a cry may mean so much or so lit
tie!
"The spirit of brooding music
may be found in the story of Robert
schumann and his cherished friend,
Frau Voigt. One summer evening
he took her out in rowboat, ship
ped the oars and sat for an hour in
complete silence. When they land
ed again Schumann pressed her
hand in farewell and said:
"sWe have understood each 9TH
er perfectly
t'There is the message of contem-
platlve music in nutshell. We
have understood without words, and
with words we could not explain.
"Music cannot even hint at a glo-
rious contour or a ripple of music
which sculpture can make immortal,
nor suggest the color Of a land
scape or a woman's eyes, which
painting can give to posterity, nor
spin out skeins of thoughts we'll
chosen and deftly arranged as
poetry and prose are wont to do. 1t
cannot with a gesture grip your
heart or with a grimace make you
laugh as drama can. 1t cannot mar
rate a romance nor indulge in the
WITNESSES Of all essay, the patriotic
fire of an Grafton, the fact mosaics
of history, the massive flights of
architecture.
sMusic is eternally debarred from
even attempting any Of these fields.
And yet one finds compensation in
being allowed to nestle little closer
to the heart of things in themselves
and emotions as emotions than any
other Of the muses. that make the
world worth while"
