VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES

A audience that literal1 packed the
house witnessed the opening Of the
spring vaudeville season at the Acad-
envy Of Music last night. At O'Clock
the box once went out OF business
temporarily, as hundreds Of people
were standing and the ushers were
having trouble keeping the aisles
clear. The crowd seemed to be de-
lighted with the show, which is easily
the biggest ever offered here at popu-
lar prices.
The feature Of the bill is the song
and dance act Of Gillette and Halla-
han. The singing, dancing and dia-
logue of this pair is Al. Then Miss
Perle Melville's singing: the musical
act Of Dal!uppo 4 oliver. Wilbert Mel

In addition to all this we're the sing

Long Lived Trees.

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
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.
Humboldt said that the Dracaena
Draco at Orotava, on Tenerife, was
one of the oldest inhabitants of the
earth.

One Bow 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 I 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:
'You didn't have your water rate
paid !"-London Mail.

PRESCRIPTIONS.
Reasons Why They Are Writtsn IN
Latin by Physieians.

'T don't see," said the man who
was leaning against the drug store
counter, "why doctor can't write
his prescription in English instead
Of Latin"
The druggist said: 'You think, l
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 a more exact
and concise language than English
and, being a dead language, does not
change, as all living languages 90.
'Then, again, since a 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-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
a prescription in English for an I'M
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 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 a final reason. Latin
is a 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, Constantinople, Cairo
and Calcutta. What good would an
English prescription be in st. Pc

Laissez Faire,

"Laissez faire'' is a term met
with frequently in books on polit-
ical economy. 1t is not often used
in conversation or in political
speeches. It is term that means
to let alone, and among economists
it implies that policy which does
not disturb the existing order Of
things, but permits it to develop in
its own way, trusting that society
will in its own way and in its own
time find a proper adjustment and
balance for all it's troubles.-Wall
