DANCING IN ROUMANIA
Paasants Mak Merry on Sunday to Oil
Their Joints For Monday.
Tbo Itomnatilnn peasants have a say
ing that they must dance on Sunday to
keep tbo creak out ot their bones on
Monday. Most of the dances aro at
tho public houses dance halls under
tho blue sky, as It were and young
and old gather there. The old folk
spend the day with the tipple, whllo
the young ones dance. Thcro Is very
little drinking on auy other day of tho
week, and a tipsy man except on Sun
day is Bcldom seen.
Tho dances nro organized by tbe boys
of tho community. They arrange for
the music, provide tho refreshments
and preside as masters of ceremony.
When the girls reach a marriageable
age and have been sulllclently Instruct
ed In tho household arts they are al
lowed to attend thcie dances as partic
ipants. "She dances at the dnnco" Is
the peasant way of saying that n girl
has mado her debut mid U eligible fur
matrimonial attentions.
Tho national dnnco of Itoumanla Is n
sort of cross between a Jig and the
game of rlng-arouml-tho-rosle. All the
(lancers elnsjlinmls and form a rlug.
They then begin a stepping, swaying
motion that novcr moves them out of
their original tracks, and to tho music
of the gynsy band they keep It up for
hours. St. Louis Tost-Dlspatch.
STORY OF A SONG.
"Ben Bolt" and Its Author, Dr. Thomas
Dunn English.
Of all the American songs none Is so
bauntlngly sweet as that beginning:
Don't you remember an est Alice, lien
Alice, whoaa hair nas bo brown.
Who wept with dellstlt when you gave Iter
a amllo
And trembled with fear at your frown?
Dr. Thomas Duuu English, Its au
thor, contributed his poem to the New
York Mirror In 1SI3. It was a work
of love, written without compensation.
to obllgo tho editor, N. P. Willis, who
bad recently undertaken to put tho pa
per on Its feet.
Tho poem bad a pathetic lilt that at
tracted no little attention, but Its famo
did not come until later years. Ii
1813 Nclfon Kncnss, an actor, adapted
tho poem 10 an old German melody,
and tho air captivated the American
people. Then tbo song crossed tho wa
ter, uchlovcd an equally great success
In England and literally ran round the
world.
It remained for George Du MauYlcr
to Immortalize "Ben Bolt" In the play
"Trilby," whero tho gentlo victim of

The Doctor's Prescription.
Of hlstqrlcnl Interest Is tho emblem
found on every prescription written by
a physician, tonslstlng of the letter 11
with a thin lino across the tall nt an
ncutc angle. According to historians, It
had Its origin In the undent custom of
allowing tbo stars to dominate every
day Incidents of life. The It thus mark
ed Is said to have been the emblem used
by tho ancients to deslgunto tho su
premacy of Jupiter. Therefore It seems
probablo that soino chemist of undent
days gave a prescription or a recipe to
Homo patient and wrolo upon It tho em
blem of the planet then In the ascend
ancy, which happened to be Jupiter.
This emblem has couio down to the
present time mid Is nhvn.vs used. In a
more modern sense It stands for a
recipe, or nu order or Instruction to
tuko BOL'ietlilng. Literally construed,
recipe mcuns "tako" or "tuko thou."
How to Learn to Write.
Putting words together. Is not writ
lug; making lino sentences Is not writ
lug; elaborating striking plots Is not
writing. Of till the nrts literature Is
tho most exacting mistress. To wrlto
you must hnvo lived, you must huvo
suffered and know Joy, you must bo
able to aualyzo people, to understand
their motives, to Iovq them.
Granted that you havo learned some
thing of tho motives, tho passions, dm
sorrows that rack us humans, then yuti
must nlso have your medium In con
trol. Words nru like llttlo creatures
that march and tight and sing. They
are Uko extra bands and brains. All
the passions watt on them. Until you
get this ncnsa of the cholconebs, tho
fragility, tho power of words, you nro
not leady to transcribe your thoughts

SOME BASEBALL RECORDS.
Big Shutout Scores In the Modorn His
tory of the Game.
In the early days of baseball white
washing a team was one of tho most
sensational episodes of the game. The
ball was w) lively, with plenty of rub
ber between the covers, the pitcher's
delivery so restricted aud tho tickling,
owing to the Inerltablo tremendous
batting, so loose that to prevent n team
from scoring was considered almost a
miracle. Ulg scores were tho mle.
sometimes going Into 100 runs. When
tho Mutuols In 1ST0 shut out the Chi
cago., the score being II to 0, It created
an excitement all over tbe country, the
memory of which lasted foe more than
a scoro of years. Occasionally even
uow wo hear of a team being "Chi
cagoed.';
Uccuusc of the radical changes lu the
rules of the game It wolild bo rather
misleading to measure present stand
ards with tho models set up In "an
dent" days. "Modern" baseball his
tory begins In 1S0O.
In the major leagues (National league
and American association) big Khutout
scores bad been registered lu 'the nn
dent days-280 lu 181, 24-0 In 1SS5
and 18S7 and '230 In 1SS3. .But the
tecord In modem history Is 10 0 In the
National league and 210 In the Amerl
can.
Three times In the National league a
scoro of 100 was turned in. The tlrst
was mado on July 1.", IS!):',, In n game
In Pittsburgh, the Pirates shutting out
the Wasblngtous by theso llgures.
Three jeorn later, nearly to the day
(July 8, lS'Jil), thu feat was repeated,
tho Pirates ngalu shutting out the
Washlngtous, 10-0.
Tho third 10 0 game was played at
New York on Juue 7, 1000, Chicago de
feating tho Giants.
Iu tho American league Detroit shut
out Cleveland. 21-0, on Sept. 15, 1001,
and on Aug. Ill, 1007, New Yoik shut
out Wushltigton, 20-0. Philadelphia

Ned Harrlgan's Plea at ths Critical
Point In a Play.
Edwnrd Ilarrlgan once said that the
most trying moment In his theatrical
career occurred In New Orleans soon
after tho war between tho states. He
had gone south with his company and,
yielding somewhat to popular request.
put on 'Tho Bluo and the Gray."
Tho play hud been a success up
north, but down south, with tho air
still full of the bitterness of the war,
It was a dangerous experiment. Tony
Hart was to represent the Confederate
gray, so he hunted up a uniform of the
Louisiana Tigers, 11 ml when ho came
marching on, young, stalwart, hand
some, the typical soldier boy In tbo
beloved uniform, the house, men and
women, cheered and shouted aud cried
for all their heroes embodied lu this
boy.
Harrlgnu, ntandlng lu the wings In
his northern blue, waiting to go on,
hud Just ono thought "They'll kill
me!" Then ho stepped out, tho em
bodiment of tho enemy, and a cold,
dead hIIciico fell upon the bouse. Not
a baud moved for lilm. Tho audience
was tense with- emotion, and there
was only an Instant to act If the play
wus to bo saved.
