American "Goober" Becoming Popular
in That Country.
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
state department, but none stranger
than that the Yankees pet fruit is rap
idly becoming the Frenchman's per
petual delight.
The American "goober" has already
stormed the French vaudeville thea
tiers and opera houses, and the latest
advices declare that it is successfully
holding the fort against all corners
The floors of popular restaurants are
carpeted with the shells, and the
walks in the public grounds are speck
led with the shucks.
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 plebian
product from Africa is having the au.
dacity to question Americas suprem-
acy as the peanut country of the
world It is cheap, this African pea
nut, and on that score it appeals to a
frugal and indiscriminating public.

Chancellor James Roscoe Day OF
Syracuse university, who has recently
come out with a defense of hazing, is
on terms of unusual intimacy with the
students under him. Though Chan
cellor Day, after his graduation from
Bowdoin, served long term in the
Methodist ministry, his manner has
remained always simple. Young men
have always found him easy to ap'
proach-a humorous, sincere, delight.
full friend
1t is said that at Syracuse, not long
ago, two undergraduates, on a wager
wrote epitaphs upon each other in
verse; With these epitaphs when
they were done, the young men pre-
sented themselves before the chan
cellor.
The elder of the two said, indicating
the other:
II have written rhymed epitaph or
him, sir, and he has written one or
me. We would like you to read these
cpitaphs and decide which is the bet
ter"
The chancellor with slight smile
took the two illusions, and read then
carefully. Then he laid them side
by side on the desk before him, and
afte: a little thought said:
Both are bad. They are both ex
tremely bad. Therefore, prefer the
shorter of the two.'

something like 122 degrees in the

There is no question whatever that
the prospects TO a railway through
this historically fascinating region
would be decidedly bright could the
country only be reclaimed from it's
present barrenness and made, as it
was in Bible times, a land of plenty.
And, strangely enough, Just at this
time comes a famous English engi-
neer, Sir William Willcocks, who be-
lieves that it is possible to restore to
this birthplace of mankind something
like the marvellous system of canals
and waterways which once it pos
sessed, and to which all its former
richness was due. In those days the
Tigris river was damned at different
points, and it's waters thus turned
into immense irrigation canals which
ran through the country. The great
est of these canals was such piece of
work as modern constructors never
have dreamed of. It was over three
hundred miles long and 100 yards

No Problem At All.

John Burroughs, who has recently
pointed out the scientific falsity of the
nature books" that attribute quite
human intelligence, and sensltiveness
to wild animals is student of the
life of Benjamin Franklin, and has at
his tongues end a number of Frank
lin stories that are but little known.
According to one of these stories,
Philadelphia neighbor of Franklin said
to- him one day:
II keep barrel Of beer in my back
yard, and unprincipled persons climb
the fence at night with pals and
pitchers to rob me. It is necessary
for me to keep the beer in this yard;

are so clever-some way of preserving:

this cask full, and I'll warrant that as

Probably most Americans who have
read in the cable dispatches about all
the pother that there has been of late
over the proposed Bagdad railway
have found themselves little concerned
with the enterprise. AS a matter of
fact, the point about the scheme which
makes it most interesting to folk in
the United States has been rather lost
sight of in the perfervid discussion of
the political side of the case.
The proposed road is in the region
where history began, for, as the &C.
companying map shows, the Bagdad
railway will run straight through the
district between the Tigris and the
Es1phrates rivers, which long have
been identified as the original Garden
of Eden. Tarsus, the city of St. Paul,
and Nineveh, to which Jonah. was or

No Longer Tolerated.
There is one good result of ''ani
overcrowded profession and of the
sharp competition that exists among;
doctors in the rivalry for popular IA
vor. This is the disappearance of the
old-time spirit of harshness and lord
liness, which sometimes degenerated
into positive brutality. These charac-
teristics were the natural products of
an original boorishness, increased by
success and comparative monopoly
of practice. 1t takes a gentlemanly
mind not to be spoiled by the attitude
of subservience on the part of pa.
tents, and the habit of ordering by
the physician in charge.
In every large community there are
still left specimens of medical Dr..
Johnsons, who from a ruder age have
carried down a cross and commanding
acerbity of manner that is now out OF
place and time. In one of our large
American cities there is an example
known far and wide. His loss of pa
tents does not teach him any lesson,
and seems rather to increase his chur
lishness. He seems to take a special
delight in hurting the feelings of his
patients by a perverse Feasibility.
A patient who was shocked by this
manner in the very beginning of the
examination suddenly stopped, and in
a quiet manner asked the amount Of
