The city has a population of about
two hundred thousand, and is gov­
erned by a pasha, who is assisted by
a council. The nasha comes from.Con
stantinople. There is some difference
between the ruling Turks from Con­
stantinople and the native Arab pop­
ulation of Bagdad, as the Turks are
Sunnites and the Arabs are Shiites.
This religious difference has many
times prevented harmonious co-opera­
tion between the Turk and Arab.
The city does an annual trade in
normal times in imports and exports
of about fifteen million dollars, buying
oil, cheap cottons, shoes and other
western manufactures, and selling
hides, wool and dates. Germany, Eng­
land and Russia have been the strong­
est dealers in diplomacy and com­
merce at Bagdad.
The city lies about five hundred
miles from the Persian guif, following
the course of the river. The Tigris,
like the Danube, is the great water
highway of an agricultural country,
and it is the main artery o f Bagdad's
external traffic. It maintains, in times
of peace, steam communication with
its port toward the Persian gulf by
means of one British and one Turkish
line of steamers. Steamer service on

Why Dads Go Dippy.
In view of the deadly inroads of
grippe and pneumonia and the warn­
ings in this connection issued by the
public health authorities, a word ad­
dressed especially to the strong and
well may not be amiss. Though seem­
ingly remarkable, it is a perfectly logi­
cal fact that both grippe and pneu­
monia find their greatest number of
victims among persons who are in
normal health. The latter disease, in
fact, seems rather partial to excep­
tionally robust persons, and, in every­
day parlance, the stouter they are the
easier they fall. The reason for this
is simple. FTail persons are accus­
tomed to take extra care of them­
selves in the knowledge of their weak­
ness and liability to sickness and thus
escape some of the ills that overtake
the stronger ones
The robust ones,
especially the man who "never had a
sick day in his life,” come to regard
their health as being immune from at­
tack and so expose themselves reck­
lessly. Also they are inclined to in­
difference after having contracted a
cold or even more serious affectiou,
relying on their usually rugged health
to pull them through.— Pittsburg Ga­
