1t speaks volumes for Paines compound
that of all the many women who have re-
covered health by its means very many
were induced to take it through the per-
suasion of other women, sisters, mothers,
or friends.
When sick and feeble sufferer is seen
to gain steadily in health and vigor from
taking Paine's celery compound no room
for doubt is left to the most stubborn
minded person. This joyous transforma-
ton from sickness to health is going on in
thousands of homes this spring.
Here is the experience-like that of
hundreds of others-of Mrs. r. H. Studds:

was recommended to my husband by his
father, who told him to have me try it,
for with other remedies did not seem to
be getting better. l was suffering from
nervousness, and my baby seemed to
nurse it from me, as she did not sleep
more than 10 to 20 minutes at any time.

you say, but that it is, without doubt, the

STORY OF A WAR SONG.
The Man Who Composed the Music for
1--WE Are Coming, Father Abraham"

The Man Who Composed the Music for
1--WE Are Coming, Father Abraham"
The man who composed the music
Cor Whittier's song, 1--WE Are Coming,
Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thou
sand Strong" is an old and somewhat
decrepit piano tuner, who carries on his
business near Window, MINI. His
name Is A. B. Irving.
One day soon after Lincoln's call for
300, 900 more men, Irving, then young
man, was on his way to Defiance, O.,
from Fort Wayne for the purpose of
singing at political and loyal meeting.
He had considerable reputation as a
composer and singer and the Republic
ans had asked him to come and help
them. On the way he read the poem,
which had just been published Irving
studied 1t, formulated tune, hummed
it and got the rhythm, and that even
ing at the Defiance meeting he sang
the song for the first time. When he
had finished, and the last echoes had
died away, men mounted their chairs
with wild enthusiasm, swung their
hats and broke loose in cheers that rang
with feeling. He sang it again and
again, and they would scarcely let him
rest
The next night he sang the song at
Fort Wayne, and again aroused the
same enthusiasm. He wrote out the
music and sent it to the publisher who
had handled what he had composed,
with instructions to publish it on his
usual terms Of royalty. 1t was publish
ed, and inside of month more than
40, 900 copies had been sold In few
days the publisher failed and Irving
never received dollar for the music

UNCLE SANS MENAGERIE.

animals Kept at the Department of Ag-
riculture For Experimental Purposes.
It is not generally known that the de-
partment of agriculture has menagerie
in connection with it, but such is the
case. The menagerie is not very large
one, nor does it contain any rare or
strange animals. Most of them are of
the domestic variety.
1t is part of the division Of animal
industry, and the animals are used to
develop interesting cases Of disease and
to illustrate the effects of an epidemic
of particular kind which the division
may wish to experiment on with view
of stamping it out and to test various
kinds Of foods of which trial is thought
to be eff1cacious.
Comprised in this collection of ami
mails are rats and mice, guinea pigs,
rabbits, different sorts of fowls, some
cattle and sheep and few others. The
larger of the animals are kept at the
breeding place of the department, on
the Benning road, while others are dom
iciled in the basement Of the division
of animal industry laboratory, near the
bureau of engraving and printing.
Down in the basement, under the lab
oratory, which was visited recently by
reporter, were seen number Of coops
and cages, in which were grouped gum
ca pigs, rabbits and chickens. The
animals seemed to be perfectly at home
and formed seemingly happy family,
as some guinea pigs were in the cage
with rabbits. One of the little white
and black creatures was nibbling at the
whiskers Of sleepy looking rabbit,
which blinked contentedly, as If 1t en-
joyed the operation or was too lazy to
resist any trespass on the part of the
guinea pig.
A dilapidated looking chicken, which
had much the same appearance as has
tramp who has been forced to saw wood
for a meal at friendly inn" rested
on top of cage. The guinea pigs SEEM
ed to be the life of the place and ran in
and out with apparently little or no
concern whether school kept or not -
On some of the cages where the rab-
bits were confined, printed in large
black letters, was the word rabies "
Upon the cards also were the warnings
to the attendants and others not to put
their hands in the cages This meant
that the animals had been inoculated
with hydrophobia virus, and it was
therefore dangerous to handle the ami
mails. A further precaution taken in
such cases, it is said, is not to inoculate
animals carnivorous by nature, as they
become terribly ferocious, or any ami
mails whose chief means of defense is by
biting.
A cat or dog, for instance, will strive
to bite when afflicted with the disease,
while rabbit, which is purely vege-
tartan, will simply NOPE and die with
out making any resistance.
It was stated that one steer, which
had the "blackleg," remained at one
of the experiment stations for about
eight years, and the persons there really
bec..me attached to it.-Washington

ELECTRICITY and Ba1ky Horses

One of the recent extensions Of the
use Of electricity is in conquering a
balky or lazy horse: A western Penn
sylvania gentleman owned horse
which he said was worth 1000, pro-
vided he could cure him of baking. 1t
was suggested that he try electricity.
He purchased three volt storage bat
