II Is In the United States Rather Than
Ireland.
There are more Irishmen In the
United States than In Ireland, says an
official of the census office. The latest
returns from the British census shows
that the population of Ireland is now
4,456,546, a loss of Ave per cent, in the
last ten years. Sixty years ago there
were almost twice as many people in
the island. or S.173.124. The United
States census returns which show the
foreign.born population have not yet
been compiled, but 1t Is believed the
number of natives Of Ireland now in
this country is nearly 100000.
For every Irish-born inhabitant of
the United States there are probably
two descendants of Irish blood from
both father and mother, and this
would make the Irish population of
this country about million greater
than that of Ireland. In this estimate
no account is taken Of the large num-
ber of Americans who have in their
veins Irish blood from one or the 9TH
er parental side. The cause Of Ire
lands loss of population can be found
quickly enough In the steady increase
of the Irish population Of America.

for the education Of the "ingenuous
youth" OF our nation. II hold" says
Sir Thomas, ''that 1t would be good

ORIGIN OF RAG TINE.
Sousa, the Bandmaster, Credits It to the
Western Hoe.DoWn.

I have read a number of explanations
Of rag time that are mainly interest
ing because they do not explain, says
John Philip Sousa in the NeW York
World. The syncopation of vocal mel
bdy is common to all languages and ma
lions having words accented, K
brother" mother" "liar," "briar.'
America undoubtedly has more piano
players of the amateur sort than any
pther country. The initiative quality, to-
rether with acuteness of ear, is a COM
mon attribute of young people. 1t is
often a matter of wonderment to under
stand how one of the youngsters will
"vamp" an accompaniment to anything
and everything. They all compose"
that is, let their fingers fall in pleasant
places on the piano keys, from which
springs a more or less trite composition,
following the popular style OF the mo-
ment.
To this class, I believe, belongs the
credit of originating the word rag
time" Some years ago n OF them
sung for me a darby song, and after
playing a simple accompaniment, he said,
II have another accompaniment, a regu-
lar rag time" and proceeded to play a
sy~ncopated movement of the same mel
Ddy, in which, to the dominant and tonic
chords were added the sixth of the scale,
a characteristic French hurdy-gurdy
music.
The movement of the right hand at
the piano suggested the rhythm of hand
clapping used in some Of our country
dances. The common "calr' in the
1fWestern hoe-down"-"Everybody rag"
is probably responsible for the inven-
ton of the term rag time" | believe
that the term rag time" referred to the
accompaniment and not to the tune.
