The poctor,a Fermentation.

OF historical interest is the emblem
found on every prescription written by
physician, consisting Of the letter R
with a thin line across the tail at an
acute angle. According to historians, it
had its origin In the ancient custom of
allowing the stars to dominate every
day Incidents Of life. The r thus mark
ed is said to have been the emblem used
by the ancients to designate the su-
premacy Of Jupiter. Therefore it seems
probable that some chemist of ancient
days gave prescription or a recipe to
some patient and wrote upon it the en-
blem of the planet then In the ascend
ancy, which happened to be Jupiter.
This emblem has come down to the
present time and is always used. In a
more modern sense it stands for a
recipe, or an order or instruction to
take something. Literally construed.
recipe means ''take" or take thou"

How 10 Learn TO Write.

Putting words together is not writ
ing; making fine sentences is not writ
ing; celebrating striking plots is not
writing. OF all the arts literature Is
the most exacting mistress. To write
you must have lived. you must have
suffered and know Joy, you must be
able to analyze people, to understand
their motives, to love them.
Granted that you have learned some
thing Of the motives, the passions, the
sorrows that rack US humans then you
must also have your medium in con-
troll Words are like little creatures
that march and fight and sing. They
are like extra bands and brains. All
the passions wait on them. Until you
get this sense Of the choiceness, the
fragility. the power of words, you are
not ready to transcribe your thoughts

DANCING IN RouMANIA.
Peasants Make Merry on Sunday to Oil
Their Joints For Monday.

Peasants Make Merry on Sunday to Oil
Their Joints For Monday.
The Roumanian peasants have say
ing that they must dance on Sunday to
keep the creak out Of their bones on
Monday. Most of the dances are at
the public houses-dance halls under
the blue sky, as it were-and young
and old gather there. The old folk
spend the day with the tipple, while
the young ones dance. There is very
little drinking on any other day Of the
week, and tipsy man except on Sun
day Is seldom seen.
The dances are organized by the boys
Of the community. They arrange for
the music, provide the refreshments
and preside as masters Of ceremony.
When the girls reach manageable
age and have been sufficiently instruct
ed in the household arts they are al
lowed to attend these dances as partic-
ipants. "She dances at the dance" is
the peasant way of saying that girl
has made her debut and is eligible for
matrimonial attentions.
The national dance Of Roumania is a
sort Of cross between jig and the
game of g-around- the-rosie. All the
dancers clasp hands and form ring.
They then begin stepping, swaying
motion that never moves them out Of
their original tracks, and to the music
Of the gypsy band they keep it up for
hours.-St Louis Post Dispatch.

The Mardi Gras OF The North.

Philadelphia Mummers Parade,
held on Broad Street in that City
every New Years Day, is an elabo-
rate pageant of gaily dressed march
ing clubs and many floats of novel
and entertaining character.
1t is the only rival of the annual
Mardi Gras carnival of New Orleans
held north of the Mason Dixon line
and is witnessed by many thousands
of spectators yearly.
Inaugurated before the Civil War
by a few Shooters Associations
who celebrated the coming of the
New Year by marching through the
streets in fancy dress, it has grown
until today it is an imposing spec
tacle requiring several hours to pass
a given point.
The City of Philadelphia annually
offers prizes for the largest clubs in
line; the best dressed clubs and
other special features, and the
pageant is carried through largely as
a city institution. Prizes are also
offered by business houses and or
CARNATIONS, which stimulate the New
Year Clubs to produce great variety
and novelty in costuming and floats
The 1917 pageant bids fair to be
the most elaborate and intere ting
that has ever been held Over 1900
men, in costume will be in line,
About forty clubs will parade and
great rivalry will be displayed in
novel and beautiful costuming eff
fects, caricatures, and the presenta-
ton of up-to-date features in the
floats.
The parade passes the City Hall,
Philadelphia's civic center at Broad
and Market Streets, about 1000
O'Clock on New Years morning
The Judges Stand is located here
where special exhibits are given by
the paraders.

STORY OF A SONG.
"1en Bolt" and lts Author DR.. Thomas

"Ben Bolt" and lts Author, Dr.. Thomas
Dunn English.
OF all the American songs none Is SO
hauntingly sweet as that beginning:
Don't you remember sweet Alice. Ben
Bolt
Sweet Alice, whose hair was so brown,
Who wept with delight when you gave her
a smile
And trembleds with fear at your frown7
DR.. Thomas Dunn English, its au-
thor, contributed his poem to the New
York Mirror in 1843. It was work
Of love, written without compensation,
to oblige the editor, N. P. Willis, who
had recently undertaken to put the pa
per on its feet.
The poem had pathetic Tilt that at
tracted no little attention, but its fame
did not come until later years. In
1848 Nelson Kneass, an actor, adapted
the poem to an old German melody,
and the air captivated the American
people. Then the song crossed the wa
ter, achieved an equally great success
In England and literally ran round the
world.
1t remained for George Du Maurier
to immortalize "Ben Bolt" in the play
''Trilby," where the gentle victim of
Svengali sings the air so sweetly to
