"Jessamine," was the hit of their act.
The Oliver Ditson Co., of Boston, have just pub-
lished a collection of Stephen C. Foster's songs—
those old gems which are close to the heart of
every American. They are admirably edited and
produced, and should find a large market. Those
persons who assert that America has no folk
music fail to take into consideration the impor-
tance of Foster's Melodies. Of the 164 or more
songs by this composer, scores are sung in every
American household. "Old Folks at Home,"
which is also known as "Swanee River," is sung
all the world over. As a token of the esteem in
which he is held by Kentuckians, a statue of
Foster, paid for by popular subscription, will be
unveiled at Louisville in June. Kentucky thus
bestows upon the author of "My Old Kentucky
Home" a greater honor than ever paid before to
an American musician. This collection contains
the twenty best known songs by the founder of
American folk music. The refrain in most of
the numbers is arranged for chorus, but, if de-
sired, the songs may be sung throughout by a
solo voice. The accompaniments, which in the
original editions show evident marks of hasty
composition, have been carefully revised by the
editor so as to better adapt them to the modern
piano. The volume retails at 50 cents.

TONIC EFFECT OF MUSIC.
Good music is a powerful tonic to many people,
especially those suffering from melancholia. It
lifts them out of their solemn moods, dispels
gloom and despondency, kills discouraged feel-
ings and gives new hope, new life and new vigor.
It seems to put a great many people into proper
tune. It gives them the keynote of truth and
beauty, strikes the chords of harmony, dispels
discord from the life, scatters clouds and brings
sunshine. All good music is a character builder,
because its constant suggestion of harmony, order
and beauty puts the mind into a normal attitude.
Music clears the cobwebs out of many minds.
