The old songs and the new. Foster and Ragtime Music— S Read Ad in Daily Democrat. aßhe modern ragtime music ed,- may be considorod but a temperary aberration. A few years ago the | popular airs were taken from the I light comic operas, or from the. sketchy music of the vaudeville ar | IK These have given way to varia on the plaintive negro airs oi >ld south and will in turn lead imething else that happens to the popular fancy. . the simple songs of our fathers beautiful music and the hearing words will again come into own. And when they do the American balladist, Stephen will be recognized as one. Perhaps more than any other, caught ' the spirit of his time, and rendered It Into music and words that were sung by millions of his country men and women. Koster was born In Pittsburg, Penn-

sylvar.ia, July 4. 1826, and received his education in the public schools. When only sixteen years of age, he ! wrote his first song, while clerking ■in a little store in Cincinnati. It was 'called “Open the Lattice, Love,” and I was soon followed by "Uncle Ned"— j which at once caught the popular ear, ' and was sung all over the country. Then came “0, Susanna” —popular ' with the minstrel troupes—and for which he received a hundred dollars His “Old Folks at Home” was pub lished in 1850—and brought him five hundred dollars from the then fam ous Christy minstrels. For copy rights of this song he recieved, first and last, nearly $15,000.

WATER . WHEELS Os- SYRIA Move on Simple Principle But Do the Work Required of Them Most Effectually. Hama, iti northern Syria, referred to in the Old Testament as Hamath the Great, is justly famous for its huge water wheels. The city lies some 110 miles northeast of Damascus on the River Grantee, and upon its banks are four large water wheels used for drawing water for irrigating purposes and also for supplying the town These wheels are driven by the flow of the river on what is known as the undershot principle; that is to say, the wheel is moved by water passing beneath it. The largest has a diameter of 75 feet. Upon its outer rim is a series of buckets which raise the water and deposit it in the aqueduct at the top Dike its companions the wheel is built of mahogany, with an axle of iron. The creaking of the wheels is incessant day and night, year in and yea) out, for they never stop. It Is interesting to note that wheels built on this same principle -are in actual use in this country, in one* ot the fertile valleys of California.—Pop ular Science Monthly.

ANCIENT TEMPLE GAVE NAME Ammonia Was First Manufactured in the Vicinity of the Oasis of Jupiter Ammon. The Libyan oasis 01 Siwah is identical with the ancient oasis of Jupiter Ammon, where, near the famous temple or oracle, the “vehement odor” of Pliny was first manufactured by a process too inelegant for description here. Ammon, at first a pet deity of the Pharaoh family circle, ultimately eclipsed all the other deities of Egypt, Libya and Ethiopia, becoming “king of the gods,” and his oracle in the present oasis of Siwah achieved such celebrity that Alexander the Great epnsidered it necessary to journey thither after the battle of Issus in or der to be acknowledged the "son of God Ammon.” The oracle fell into disrepute under the Romans, and Pausanias reported it dumb A. D. 160. The ruins of the temple are to be seen today two miles east of the town of Siwah. The Senussi long dominated the oasis. John Adams a Hard Loser. John Adams, second president of the United States, was not a good loser. He wanted another term, and worked hard for it. None of the candidates received a majority of the electoral votes, and the election was thrown into the house of represents tives. But Adams had no choice there, for he was third in the race, and only the two having the highest number of electoral votes could be voted for. Thus the choice lay between Jefferson and Burr, and Jeffer son won. Adams was very much disgruntled, and did everything in his power to make things unpleasant for his successor. He filled every vacant office he could lay his hands on, so as to leave as little patronage as possible for Jefferson. Not only so, but in the closing hours of his administration he and his party associates created twenty-three new judgeships, for which there was no necessity, and worked till the stroke of midnight on March 3d filling out and signing commissions for these “midnight judges," as they were called. Horrors at Home. “The football tournament between the teams of Harvard and Yale, recently held in America, had terrible results. It turned Into an awful butchery. Os twenty-two participants, seven were so severely Injured that they had to be carried from the field In a dying condition. One player had his back broken, another lost an eye, and a third lost a leg. Both teams appeared upon the field with a crowd of ambulances, surgeons, and nurses. Many ladles fainted at the awful cries of the injured players. The indignation of the spectators was powerful, but they were so terrorized that they were afraid to leave the field.” One wonders whether the Munchener Nachrichten, which printed the foregoing in its columns In the year 1893, would have had room for it last fall.— New York Tribune. The Scratched Bishop. Talking of printers’ blunders, Doctor Frodsham, lately Bishop of North Queensland, tells in hlr reminiscences, “A Bishop’s Pleasaunce,” the following story: “At one time in Queensland there was a racehorse called His Lordship. Two telegrams, one relating to me and another to the quadruped, followed each other without break in the columns of a local paper. To the best of my memory the agglomerate para graph read as follows: ‘Bishop Frodsham is down with an attack of fever in Cairns. His lordship is scratched for all events.' ” Couplet Easily Completed. When a popular sea captain had died four leading men of the hamlet .were selected to write an epitaph, -and it was decided that each should write a line. The first wrote his easily. The second puzzled a little, then he wrote his. The third followed even more slowly. But the fourth wrote as if inspired, and the whole verse read: Here Iles the captain of the sea. Here lies him, here lies he, Hallaleujah. halleluee, A.B.C.D.E.F.a.
