RAGTIME.

A German scientist, lately con
nected with the Imperial Aacde-
my of Medical Research in Berlin,
is now in this country and has
undertaken to enlighten us on the
relation between American music
and American nerves. "Your rag
time airs jar the nerve centers and
cause an irritation of the brain
cells he says. "While the roll
and thump of ragtime is exhilar-
ating to the senses and acts as a
stimulant, it has the after effects
of an injurious drug that will
eventually stagnate the brain cells
and wreck the nervous sytem. +"
There is little doubt thai the
younger units in tOday's over
strained society have developed a
peculiar nervous system straight
from their peculiar environment.
The demand is for strong, direct,
immediate sensation. Music, once
"a sedative, has now become an ir-
ritant. What has been regarded
in the younger generation as an
esthetic obtuseness and incapacity
turns out to be a nervous disease -
or the approach to it,. They are
in state to call forth not repro
baton but pity and alarm. There
seem to be put two ways of escape
from the ragtime course-either
the whole social environment must
be ameliorated or else we must
wait until ragtime comes to dis
gust its youthful adherents and
practitioners by its own inherent
odiousness, excess and vulgarity.-

The man who s'gets mad" is dis
liked by everybody. His best
friends 'make allowances" for him
which is in itself confession of
his weakness of character. The
man who smiles and keeps his
temper at all times elicts the ad
miration of others and wins their
confidence and esteem. Good
nature is really a business asset,
and nowhere is it valued any more
highly than in this country. AS
a matter of fact, it is a great deal
easier for the good natured, pleas
