STORY OF A SONG.
"Ben Bolt" and Its Author, Dr. Thomaa
! " Dunn EnQllsh,
Of all the American songs none Is so
bnunttugly sweet as that beginning:
Don't you remember sweat Alice, Ben
Bolt- ,
Sweet Alice, whom hair wn so brown,
Who wept with dcllKht when you gave her
a isoule
And trembled with fear nt your frownT
Dr. Thomas Dunn English, Its au
thor, contributed his poem to tho New
York Mirror In LSI.'!. It wns a work
of love, written without compensation,
to oblige the editor, N. V. Willis, who
had recently uuduntaken to put tho pa
per on Its feet.
Tho poem had a pathetic lilt thnt at
tracted no little attention, but Its fame
did not eomo until later yours. In
18-18 Nelson Knenss, an actor, adapted
tho poem to an -old German molody,
and tho air captivated the American
peoplo. Then tho song crossed the wa
ter, achieved an equally great aucccss
In England and literally ran round tho
world. -
It remained for George Dti Maurler
to immortoTllzo "Ben Bolt" in tho play
"Trilby," where tho gentle victim of
Svonsull thigs tho r.lr so swoelly to
Taffy the Laird and Little Blllee.

The Doctor's Praaorlptlon.
Of historical Interest is tho omblom
found on every prescription written by
a physician, consisting of tho letter It
with a thin :llne across the tail at an
acute angle. According to historians, It
had its origin In tho. ancient custom of
allowing tho stars to dominate every
day incidents of life. Tho R thus mark
ed Is said to have been tho emblem used
by the ancients to designate tho su
premacy of Jupiter. Therefore it seems
probable thnt some chemist of ancient
days gavo a prescription or a recipe to
some patient mid wrote upon It the em
blem of the planet then In tho ascend
ancy, which happened to be Jupiter.
This emblem has come dowu to the
present time and Is alwnys used. In a
more modern senso It stands for a
recipe, or nn order or instruction to
take something. Literally construed,
recipe means "take" or "take thou."
