Well,
There Is ono true specific for diseases
arising from a debilitated nervous sys
tem, and that Is Palno's celery com
pound, so generally prescribed by phys
icians. It Is tho most remarkable remedy
that the scientific research of America
has produced.
Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D LL.
D., of Durtsmouth College, llrst pre
scribed tills positive cure for dyspep
sia, biliousness, liver complaint, neu
ralgia, rheumatism, nil nervous dis
eases und kidney troubles.
HER POINT OF VIEW.
"I'm sure-1 don't understand why It
is that girls now-a-days go with such
grubby hands," declared n nice looking
old lady, whoso own fingers and gener
al appearance bore every Indication of
most scrupulous care. "Why I saw ti
girl In the ear yesterday," she con
tinued "whose hands had bluish black
splotches over them, which looked like
Ink. Kven her nulls were horribly
stained, nnd todny Mary N wus call
ing on Jean nnd she certainly had
lingers that looked ns If she had been
digging potatoes with 'em. 1 feel like
telling her mother. However sho came
In on a bicycle nnd maybe she got the
grime In that way. A wheel Is respons
ible for most all kinds of marks I'm
told. And "there are others too,' she
added.
"That wasn't dirt." exclaimed one of
her listeners. "Don't you know what
was tho matter? Why those stains show
she Is an amateur photorapher. It's the
ambition of every girl now to go around
with fiendish looking spots on her hands
so thnt everybody will know sho de
velops her own photos. Dear me, you
wouldn't have her go to the pho
tographer would you grandma May?
"Well I would if they looked like
some pictures Mnry Man showing,"
frankly replied grandma. "They had a
lot of water blisters, and In one, a man
didn't havo nny feet but they were
tacked on to the horse in a place where
ho couldn't wear feet unless he stood
on Ids head."
"Oh! well, It Is a fad now to develop
your own plates," explained the
youngre lady, "nnd you have to do It If
you own n camera and want to be up
to date even If vou do go round with
your hands smelling like a glue fac
tory and burn holes In your best gowns
nnd spill ncld on the now Bokhara
rug and look as If you were a cam
paign speaker and somebody had been
throwing Ink instead of mud. Yes you
can take off the stains but you don't
want 'em off."
"H'm;" said grandma expressively.
These aren't the times when people
hide their lights under a bushel or any
thing else adapted 'to concealment.
Everybody who hns nny sort of a
twinkling, foolish little light, lets It
shitie as voluminously as It will. Once
In a while some person with a big S0
cnndlepower Illumination doesn't fully
exercise Its searchlight possibilities
but stays In his quiet tent of self-restraint
and serenity nnd allows the
little lights to believe they are dazzling
the world. It Is a time when the wo
man who .knows a fow German or
French phrases, produces them for the
edification of those In her Immediate
vicinity. If' she has over been across
tho water, even If close Investigation
would reveal the history of a solitary
early voyage hither In the steerage,
she Is contlnunlly saying, "When I
wns abroad." If she ever, by any pos
sibility, was In the same city at the
same time when some' distinguished
personage was present, she Introduces
subjects that will ennble her to suy
"When I mot Mr. So-und-So" or "Lord
This or That."
I know a woman whose favorite topic
of conversation Is about the time when
she met Anthony Hope, lun Maclaren,
Sarah arand, Alphonso Daudet and a
few other literary lions at a dinner In
London." Sho knows, and everybody
knows, nnd sho knows that everybody
knows It is pure romance, but sho con
tinues to cling to this darling of her
Imagination, to the weariness of her
friends.
Another likes to tell that she patron
izes a famous Now York tailor, when
thoso who know her beat say that she
fastens the mark of the firm's name In
ench new gown, removing It from tho
predecessor, an'd that how she secured
tho little gold lettered ribbon Is a
mystery. She docs tho same thing
with hor hats though Just what per
manent satisfaction sho thus obtains
Is another mystery.
. m
This Is a day when men like to tell of
their brilliant colleglnto advantages,
the vonderful athletic reputntlons they
once had, and tho grcnt business op
portunities they have enjoyed and when
they arc not averse to having It known,
thnl their one-time superior social fa
cl'llles are not to bo overlooked.
It Is a time for exploiting everything,
nnd nearly everybody falls Into tho
trap occasionally and docs somo small
self advertising. Now and then when
some horrible example In the shape of
an undeniable bore shows to what
length ono can go In such matters does
one realize how tho habit grows nnd
tightens Its Influence about the per
sonality. Perhnps, ufter nil. these co
lossal bores whom wo now and then
meet do servo a good purpose In show
ing us the possibilities wo may reach,
but alas, wo cannot "see ourselves ns
Ithers see us." Saucy Bess,

mony Is the grammar of music und
should he studied by every student of
music, and it should ho taken up very
early, ns soon, In fact, as the rudiments
have been mustered. The ability to
readily analyze chord-combinations
makes one u ready reader at sight. As
I said In a recent answer to a question
with reference to the proper use of the
right hand pedal of the piano the sus
taining pedal It Is Impossible to learn
how to correctly uso the pedal without
a knowledge of harmony, and the
quicker plnno students recognize this
fact and act upon It, the better It will
be for themselves nnd their listeners,
since no fault perpetrated In the name
of music Is more abominable than the
mis-use of tho pedal. To tho organist
a knowledge of harmony Is, If possible,
still more necessary. The different
parts of the service have to Uo fre
quently joined together by short Im
provisations, songs out with piano ac
companiment have to be adapted to tho
organ, etc., all of which make a know
ledge of harmony Imperative. Indeed,
no person, whether Instrumentalist or
vocalist, can become nn acceptable
musician without possessing somo
knowledge of Harmony and Musical
Form.

J. S. C. Iv. Why do music teach
ers have their pupils write their
counterpoint In open score, using
the different C clefs Insteud of
writing In open score, using tho
commonly employed treble and bass
clefs?
Answer Counterpoint demands u
melodic and free nnd Independent
movement of each of the parts, and
hence It Is neewsary to write In open
score, that Is, to give to each part
soprano, alto, tenor and bass, a separ
ate staff, sin e In this way the move
ment of each part can be Indicated
and recognized without confusion. Tho
best method of writing counterpoint Is
to use the treble or a clef for the so
prano, the alto clef (middle C on the
third line) for the- nlto; tho tenor clef
(middle C on the fourth lino) for tenor;
nnd tho usual bass clef for the bass.
Although the C clefs, alto and tenor
clefs, aro no longer In common uso they
aro still used In counterpoint because
the usual ranee of tho nlto and tenor
parts may be written with their ru
spectlvo clefs on the staff of llvo lines
and four spaces without using as many
added lines above and below as would
he necessary with the other clefs. This
Is the real reason why the different C
clefs were originated In the first place.
Previous to this century the parts In
vocal music were always printed In
their respective clefs. I'rout, In his
treatise on Counterpoint, says: "While
tho author has endeavored to afford all
possible assistance to the learner, ho
has not the slightest toleration for tho
Indolenco which will not take tho

Vocalist. Why do people say
"Orand Opera"? Is there any other
kind?
Answer There are tw kinds of
operas, "grand opera" and "opera
I'omlque," or comic opera. In the latter
the dialogue portions are spoken, not
sung; in "grand opera" the dialogue
portions aro sung to u peculiar style
of music known as "recitative." The
most comical part of "comic opera"
is the fact that it need not be comical
at all; It may. In fact, be as serious as
the grandest of the "grand operas,"
yet If the dialogue Is spoken It Is
called "comic opera." On the other
hand nothing Is more truly comical
than the part of "Beckmesser" In Wag
ner's grand opera of the "Mastw
slngers of Nuremberg." The teim
"comlo opera" Is therefore purely n
technical one.

What Scrofula Is.
Scrofula Is a disease ns old nB an
tiquity. It has been handed down for
generations nnd Is the same today
tin In early times. It Is emphatically
u disease of the blood, and the only
way to euro It is by purifying tho
blood. That l just what Hood's Sar
sapnrllla does In every case whero It
Is given a faithful trial. It eradicates
nil Impurities from tho blood, and
cures the sores, boils, pimples and all
forms of skin diseases due to scrofula
taints In tho blood. Hood's Snrsapa
rllla has won the grateful prnlso of
vast numbers of people by its grand
nnd complete cures. Don't allow scrof
ula to develop In your blood. Cure It
nt once by taking Hood's Sarsaparllla.
