The charge is often, made, at home
as well as abroad, that Americans are
money Mad; and;s,of scdurssss, there is
ample ground for the accusation. con-
fesses the Dallas News. There is like
wise ground for the broader assertion
that the whole world is afflicted now
and has always been afflicted with the
same madness. The Spanish invaders
were wild in their search for gold;
and the same may be said OF all in
vaders, even from the beginning,
since gold was found to be precious.
The enormous sums claimed by the
rulers and dignitaries Of the Old
World evidenced a greed for gold
quite equal to that which we have de-
veloped; and there is a tone that is
funny In the criticisms of American
avarice by the thrifty keepers of
pensions, restaurants, and hotels and
by relic peddlers and various schools
OF professional swindlers and beggars
in other countries, and even by i'm
ported lecturers who actually dilate
over our avarice in cheap lectures for
which we have paid them a fancy
price! We are an avaricious people,
to be sure, but it is just as well to
add that avarice is a worldwide all
ment and always has been such.
There are victims of avarice to be
found everywhere, as well as a few
mer and women who are not 20
greedy. The love Of money is the
same sort of root the world over.

Mesopotamia.

1t has always seemed a most ex-
traordinary thing that the land be-
tween the Tigris and the Euphrates,
which was the seat Of the greatest
empires of the ancient world, ana
which shared with the Nile Valley the
distinction of being the richest
corn-growiny land, should have for so
many centuries laid desolate and
waste. But tho natural richness OF
the soil is not the only factor in the
fertility Of the land. Even more
than Egypt 1t was dependent on care
ful and scientific irrigation, and in
the days Of the great sovereigns OF
Babylon the canals were most strict
" and jealousy guarded. But when
the ancient empires finally fell the
canals and irrigation works were neg
iected and left uncared for with
the result that in a few years time
the sand Of the desert and the weeds
choked up the waterways. and the
land relapsed into desolation. But the
hew ministry at Constantinopie mas
awakened to the importance Of the
matter, and Sir William Willcocks'
the famous engineer. who wrote
most valuable monograph on the
BaIbylonian canals q few years ago,
has been intrusted with the WORK.
The total cost of the work on the
Euphrates is estimated at a quarter
OF a million of Turkish pounds, OF
which 100000 will be spent in the
first year. For such an absurdly
small cum can the desert be once
more turned into fertile land.-Lon'

GRASS PoIsoNs STOCK.
Twenty-Five Cattle Dead From Par
taking Of Weed Exterminator
-Etqhteen Others Made III.

! Davenport, Aug. S.-As a result Of
eating grass and weeds saturated with
p solution to destroy them along the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail
road twenty-five head Of cattle belong
ing to the McCausland estate near Nc
Causland, Iowa, are dead and it is
though the whole herd of nearly forty
will die. Before commencing their
campaign against the weeds this sum-
mer the railroad company notified all
the adjacent stock owners to keep the
cattle off the right of way. The Nc
Causland cattle were kept in a pasture
quite distance from the railroad and
consequently the owners were not
notified in regard. to the poisonous
qualities of the solution used. The
rattle gained access to the railroad
property through an open ditch that
had not been properly fenced, and now
1t is question as to who is respon-
sible for the death of the stock.
