ALL WANT TO NAME THE BABY
Advice heaped in Profuslon on Keep
ers OF Big clty's Geological

The arrival OF a baby animal or
bird of any kind from hippopotamus
to Il canary at either of the city zoos
gives people all over town chance
to spread themselves In the matter of
Names said a New York park keeper.
Everybody wants the honor OF
naming the baby Letters come from
all parts of the city, and from the sur
rounding country suggesting names
that the writer's think appropriate.
Patriotism runs high among our cor
respondents. If they had their way
half the animals in the park would be
called Abe Lincoln, and large part
Of the other half Teddy Roosevelt
Regardless Of the sex of the youngster
these two presidential applications are
urged upon us
Classical and Scriptural names also
have their advocates. Hercules and
Plato In particular are proposed,
"Of all the ladies of antiquity Niobe
seems to have first call Once in a
while writer of sentimental turn
of mind suggests more modern ro-
mantle name Out of consideration for
the animal fancy names are taboo to
start with. To call a beast of the
jungle Violet or Queenie is enough to
shame the most docile of infants into
reversion to type"

Wall From French Jurymen.

In France, as well as in England,
jurymen have their grievances. The
latest can easily be remeded The
French minister of justice has re-
ceived an address signed by citizens
figuring on the Paris jury lists. pro-
testing against the bare appearance
of the courts where they have to sit,
They point out that if--tired of look
ing at the judges, counsel, witnesses
and other parties to suit--they turn
their eyes upon the walls, nothing but
an inartistic paper meets their gaze.
In order to relieve this deadly mo-
notony they beg that print of Prud-

Americans used to be called nation
OF pie eaters. Today more appro
pirate term would be a nation of ba.
mana eaters. The United States takes
more than two-thirds of the bananas
shipped to the handlers in the world.
Part of this pre-eminence in banana
consumption is due to geography; the
source of supply on the Caribbean is
almost at our doors. Part is due to
accident; Boston skipper introduced
the American public to this tropical
fruit while 1t was still unknown in
Europe. Whatever reason one may
choose to give, the United States is
the worlds chief banana market, and
though the use Of this fruit is increas-
ing abroad, the American boy remains
the Jamaica growers best friend.
