Sunshine Destroys Germs.
The clothing we wear harbors
myriads of disease germs. Tills
Is especially true of woolen gar-
ments. Cotton and silk do Dot
retain germs so readily as wool
and are therefore more suitable
for clothing to be worn during
exposure to Illness. Nurses are
obliged to wear cotton garments
when in attendance n|K>u the
sick. To destroy germs lu cloth-
ing there Is nothing more po-
tent than bright amillght and
air. Hang clothing, blankets,
quilts, etc., outdoors where the
sun and wind may heat upon
them for several hours, and
disease germs lurking In their
meshes will be destroyed.
Big Shuteut Scores In tha Modern His-
tory of tho Gams.
■ In the early days of baseball white-
washing a team was one of the most
sensational episodes of the game. The
bnll was so lively, with plenty of rub-
ber between the covers, the pitcher's
. delivery so restricted aud the fielding,
owing to the luevitalde tremendous
l batting, so loose that to prevent a team
frqm scoring was considered almost a
miracle. Big scores .were the rule,
■ sometimes going into 100 runs. When
| the Mutuals in 1870 shut out the Chl-
cagoa, the score being 0 to 0, It created
au excitement all over the coup try, the
memory of which lasted for more than
°( a score of years. Occasionally even
° j now we hear of a team being "Chl-
°. cagoed.” , | j

DANCING IN ROUMANIA.
CAPTURED THE AUDIENCE
Ned
Peasants Make Merry on Sunday to Oil
Their Jointe For Monday.
The Roumanian peasants have a 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 tho
week, and • tipsy man except on Sun-
day is seldom eeen.
The dances are organized by the boys
of the commCnity. They arrango for
the music, provide the refreshments
and preside ns masters of ceremony.
When tho girls reach a marriageable
ago and have been sufficiently Instruct-
ed In the household arts they are al-
lowed to attend these dances as partic-
ipants. “She, dances nt the dance" is
the peasant way of saving that a girl
has made her debut and is eligible for
matrimonial attentions..
The national dance of Rouniauia is a
sort of cross between a Jig and the
game of ring-around-the-rosle. All the
dancers clasp hands and form a ring.
They then begin a 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.

“Ben Bolt” and Its Author, Dr. Thomai
Dunn English.
Of all the American songs none Is so
(tauntingly 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 trembled with tear at your frown?
Dr. Thomas Dunn English, its au-
thor, contributed his poem to the New
York Mirror In 1843. It was a 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 a pathetic lilt that at-
tracted no little attention, but its fame
did not come until later years. In
1848 Nelson Kueass, an actor, adapted
the poem to an old German melody,
and the air captivated the American
people. Then tlie song crossed the wa-
ter, achieved an equally great success
In England and literally ran round the
world. |
It remained for George Du Maurlor
to Immortalize “Ben Bolt" in the play
“Trilby,” where the gentle victim of
Svengall sings the air so sweetly to
Taffy the Laird and Little Blllee
New York World.
Harrigan's Pisa at th# Critical
Point In a Play.
Edward ilarrtgan once said that the
most trying moment in his theatrical
career occurred iu New Orleans soon
after the war between the states. He
had gouc south with his company and,
yielding somewhat to popular request,
put on ‘The Rlue and the Gray.”
The play had been a success up
north, but down south, with the air
still full of the bitterness of the war,
it was a dangerous experiment Touy
Hart was to represent the Confederate
gray, so he luintod up a uniform of the
Louisiana Tigers, and when he eame
marching oa, young, stalwart, hand-
some, the typical soldier boy in the
beloved uniform, the bouse, men and
women, cheered and shouted and cried
for all their heroes embodied in this
boy.
Ilarrigan, standing in the wings In
his northern blue, waltiug to go on,
had Just one thought—“They'U kill
me!” Then be stepped out, the em-
bodiment of the enemy, and a cold,
dead silence fell upon the house. Not
a hand moved for him. The audience
was tense with emotion, and there
was only an instant to act if the play
wns to be saved.
Harrigan, big, kindly, good looking,
came swiftly down to the front aud
stepped over tho footllgbt gutter, lean-
ing down to them. “For the love of
heaven, won't you give the Yankee a
hand?" he exclaimed.
At once the house was caught aud
nil the jientup feeling turned the right
way There was a yell of applause
aud the audience was won.

Ths Doctor’s Prescription,
Of historical Interest is the emblem
found on every prescription written by
a physician, consisting of the letter R
with a thin line across the tail at an
acute angle. According to historians, it
bad its origin In the ancient custom of
allowing the stars to dominate every-
day incidents of life. The R thus mark-
ed is said tp have been the emblem used
by the ancients to designate the su
premaey of Jupiter. Therefore it seems
probable that some chemist of ancient
days gave a prescription or a recipe to
some patient and wrote upon it the em-
blem of the planet then hi the asceud-
aucy, which happened to be Jupiter,
l’bis en-blem has come down to the
present time and is al’lvays used. In •
more modern sense it stands for a
recipe, or an order or Instruction to
take something. Literally construed,
recipe means “take” or "take thou."
