Franco and tho Peanut.

Can It be that the hot roasted pea
nut is destined to be to France what
the baked bean is to Boston? Strange
things have been unearthed by the
Rtate Department, but none stranger
than that the Yankees pet fruit is
rapidly becoming the Frenchman's per-
petual delight.
The American "goober" has already
stormed the French vaudeville theatres
and opera houses, and the latest ad-
vices declare that It is successfully
holding the fort against all comers.
The floors Of popular restaurants are
carpeted with the shells, and the walks
In the public grounds are speckled with
the shuchs.
Marseilles alone consumed 10000
bags Of the American dainty and loud
ly called for more. The merry note of
the roaster's whistle Is heard ON the
street corner, and every day is circus
day over there.
1t seems, however, that a plebelan
product from Africa is having the
audacity to question Americas SUI
premacy as the peanut country Of the
world. 1t is cheap, this African pea
nut, and on that score It appeals to q
frugal and indiscriminatlng public.
But cultivated taste declares unre-
servedly for the American nut, re-
gardless of expense. Score another tri-
umph for our glorious institutions!-

Veronica was silent for a time, her

"There was no one In particular that

"Dudley Maitland was there, but he

THE EMPEROR OF ETHIOPIA.
That is DIenelik's Title, and He is . De-
scendant of Solomon.


scendant of Solomon.
And who is the Emperor Of Ethiopia?
Those who happen to know may COM
slider 1t an absurdly easy question to
answer. But such is the ignorance Of
things most necessary to know in
which our people are sunk, that only a
few are aware that Menelik II. Of
Abyssinia has borne that title since
1880. He used to be called the negus,
his full title being negus negasti, mean-
Ing king of kings. The Abysslnian
monarch used to be q mere King OF
ChOa- But now he rues the united
kingdoms Of Choa, Godtam, Djimma,
Khffa and Watsmo, with some other
provinces. Consequently he is an en-
pefor.
Ancient blood Is expected in IN em-
per0r, and It is remarkable that he Of
Abysslnia, the most obscure of' the inn
perial band, is Of the oldest stock Of all.
At least, that rs his claim. Ailu, his
father, came of the old royal family Of
Ethiopia that traced IT'S descent to
Menehk L, son of Solomon by the
Queen Of Sheba. Ailu was eldest son
q q great chief named -Selassie,
under whom the kingdom of Choa at.
tanned to its highest pitch Of power.
Now Sella-Selassie's own name had
formerly been Menelik. but he had
been warned by monk to change it,
otherwise he would suffer great misfor-
tune. He should, however. said the
monk. call the son Of his first horn by
tie name Of Menellk, and the child SO
ch1dstened would one day be the con-
dueror Of all Ethiopia and the greatest
OF her rulers since the days Of Menellk
I. son Of Solomon. As soon, therefore,
as the grandson was born he was
named Manelik. The really curious
thing about this story is that 1t was
certainly told and retafled by an italian
traveller SOME years before Menelik
conquered Ethiopia" and consolidated
his PealLn.-Ipndon News.

HOW THE CAPTIvEs SLEEP.


The writer, who received permission
to visit the Central Park Zoo late at
night in order to note the different
positions in which animals and birds
rest, observed some curious things.
To one fond of natural history such a
visit is most interesting.
In the lion house the lioness was ly-
ing on her left side at full length, while
the lion, couchant, rested his head on
his crossed forepaws, his hind legs be-
ing half drawn under him, and the
tail curled in toward the body.
The pumas, tigers and leopards were
all resting on their sides, in nearly ev-
cry case lying on the right side. The
hyenas-pariahs and scavengers of the
forest-rested with their hind legs
drawn under them, the forelegs
stretched out, with heads slightly bent
to the right. Nearby the two-horned
rhinoceros was lying at full length on
his left side, gently snoring. The hip
potami showed only their heads and
backs above the water.
No longer looking for peanuts, the
elephants lay stretched out on the
floor, their huge legs lying out at full
length and the trunk curved under the
body. They were all resting on their
right side. Close by, in the deer house,
the different deer had all crouched low
for their rest, with forelegs bent under
them and the hind ones drawn up
while the head was turned to the right
and rested on the side Of the body.

THE FAIRY's GIFT.

The butterflies in cloth of gold arrayed
Were once as white as snow;
By magic was the transformation made
Long centuries ago.
The fairy queen, whose jeweled cloak and
crown
Were dim beside her eyes,
One summers day her chariot car drove
down
Whose steeds were butterflies.
"Oh, blossoms pale" inquired the grateful
queen,
"What can do for you?
Would you be like the rose on yondeI
green,
Or like the violet blue?"
"Oh, make us like your yellow locks" they
said,
And blushed at speech so bold.
The fairy stopped and kissed them where
they swayed,
And 10! they all were gold!
