The Ha,mony Of Rag Time
BY THOMAS PRESTON BROOKE,
Conductor of the Marine Band of Chicago.

All the world beats to rag time. From the
noisy humping of the drum to the SOFT ethereal
music Of the spheres the universal harmony of
rag time. It is Interchangeable as the ages, and in
torrid Africa or frigid Newport its chords find the
same response.
The rhythm which call rag time is handi-
capped by name which, to say the least, is not
elegant That is why SO many persons once pro-
fessed adherence for it. They thought that any
thing with such name should not be counenanced.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals.
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
Of
Headaches as rule, result from a dis.
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and dsordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys.
tenn must be strengthened and vitalzed.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
"I have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for number of years. About
every week would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since l began using Paine S
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
l do not have any more headaches. l feel
better than have for years."

The Twelve Tent Mates

June 7, 1861, just AZ years ago, the
third Maine Reg't, Col. O. o. Howard,
commanding, went into camp on Meri-
dian Hill, Washington, D. G. The regi-
ment then occupied what was called hell
tents that would accommodate about
twelve men each. The following twelve
soldiers were tent mates during the
month the regiment was in camp at that
place, being drilled and disciplined for
the great work,it WAS destined to do on
the opposite side Of the Potomac. First
on the right was Nathaniel Green and
following him in rotation were Arsenas
Littlefield, Alvin Woodman, John H.
Bacon, Albro Hubbard, jeremiah A.
Estes, william Barrett, Albert Corson,
William Bacon, Rial M. Bryant, Samuel
r. Emerson and Samuel w. Austin. |
have gathered the following facts con-
nected with the future history of each.
Green was taken sick soon after the
regiment went into active service, was
discharged and died on the way home.
Littlefield lost a leg in battle, came
home and died about fourteen years ago.
Woodman was living the last | heard
from him, twelve years ago. j. FL. Ba-
con died suddenly In Oakland one year
ago last winter. Hubbard was taken
prisoner and died in southern prison.
Estes was taken sick and died In the hos
pital. Barrett was captured in front of
Richmond In June, 1862. and died u pris.
oner. Corson was killed dead on the
battlefield. William Bacon, who was a
brother to John, was taken sick aud died
in a hospital. Bryant was mortally
wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks and
died few days after. Austin died last
January In the Aroostook county, where
he had lived since the war. Ii Wood
man is now living he and myself are the
only ones left, and II he be dead, | am
the sole survivor Of the twelve.

A Failure of Crops.

The great value to sthe well beinglof
a community of modern systems of trans.
portation and the contrast which the
utilization of these affords to conditions
In past ages is strikingly brought out
when over great area OF country there
is material loss in the ordinary agricul-
tural supply of a summer season, in CON-
sequence of climatic conditions. Already
the drought Throughout the eastern part
of the United States has oecasioned a
loss to farmers of great magnitude.
While the speedy coming of plentiful
showers would help somewhat, it could
not make good many of the damages
occasioned by the prolonged absence of
customary rainy weather. The hay crop
for example, has suffered beyond the hope
of redemption, and the same statement
can doubtless be made concerning other
agricultural products. Prior to four or
five generations ago community thus
afflicted would have been placed 10 a
direful condition, because, no matter how
bountiful the harvests might have been
elsewhere, the means Of speedily and
cheaplY bringing In the surplus of one
locality to supply the needs of another
did not then exist, and famine, or at
least an approach to that experience,
would have been inevitable. As it Is,
we have the world to draw from to make
good our DEFICIENCIES, and the cost of
bringing In the food supplies that we
may need for human or animal use will
be hardly more, although coming from
thousands OF miles away, than would
have been the expense of transportation
| from farms but few miles removed
from the places of consumption. The
sufferers by an experience such as we
are passing through are those who have
to face partial or complete failure of
their crops. No means has yet been
devised of making good their losses, and
except on some general plan of co-opera-
tive Insurance, we do not know that any
method of relief is possible. But In the
old times, while these agriculturists had
to suffer in much the same manner that
they are compelled to at the present
time from a crop failure, the entire CON-
munity that was dependent upon them
for their supplies suffered In common
with them but now, In civilized countries
with the world TO draw from, the losses
incident to such an affection are reduced
to a minimum.-Boston Herald.
