she answered, loathing for the pre-

CO-NBITIONS THAT PREVAIL
AT TIIE COURT..
141(ennlik Alive and the Empress an
Intriguer, Says a Mining
Man.
Marqaordt, who for three yea
was employed as a general miniag
director by the Emperor Menelik
of Abyssinia, has jest returned to
England, Hi a description of the
state of affairs in Abyssinia is
gloomy. In an interview he told an
amazing story of the eomlitions that
pleyall at the court and the intri-
gue for power couducted by the
Empress.
"The Emperor," ha said, "is cer-
tainly alive, despite the many rum-
ors of his death, but for all prac-
tical purposes he is dead. For many
years past he has been the vietim
at an insidious disease, 'which has
played have with his mental faeul-
ties,
"Menelik at his best, was Probe
ably never anything more, than a
somewhat astute aboriginal, and
unfettered by ill health and domes,
tic millstones about his neck he
might have carried through the
task -of reclaiming the country from
savagery.
NOW IT IS TOO LATE.
When the Emperor dies the major-
ity of the tribes in the kiugdom will
instinctively rise up in revolt
against the Abyssinian section,
limbering about one-tenth of the
population, and a new government
will be established.
"At any moment Menciik IL may
succumb to his malady, He has
been at death's door many tixnes in
reeent years, and on each occa-
sion one has gleaned something of
the remarkable precautions taken,
by the Empress to remain one of thc!
dominating powers in the land. I
"The Emperor, a tall, bard faced
but decrepit figure, played his,
cards very well until the Empress
crossed his path. Sho is one of
the wiliest women I have ever met.
Add to her cunning the whole gam-
ut of unscrupuloua devices and you
will get somewhere near an approx-
imate estimate of the lady's charac-
ter. For diabolical subtlety the Em-
peror cannot compare with her.
"He still wields sufficient influ-
ence, mainly armed, to °carry his
point when occasion arises, but for
the rest he is cajoled into doing the
bidding of the Empress, whose do-
mination is very hard to explain.
She is neither young nor pretty.

of her dusky personality aver the
Emperor she had boon

even a.ecoading to her own reckon-
ing. From the moment of this sing-
ular combination Menelik's power
waned.
"The Einpress gathered around
her a court clique, making heapos-
ition secure, and thenceforth the
Emperor has had to pay dire regard
to the foibles of his royal eonsort
in the matter of royal preroga-
.
tives."
Mr. Marquordt has a very low
opinion of the morality of the Ab-
yssinian.
"The capacity for thieving is the
Abyssinian hallmark," he says.
"The people thieve from the cradle
to the grave and vary a career of
dishonesty with almost every known
vice. .
"The King apparently enjoys the
privilege of being able to dishonor
his own obligations, and the Queen
invariably tries to go one better.
As general mining director to the
Emperor, I developed one of his
gold fields and showed that it would
produce as much as nine ounces of
pure gold to the ton, thereby rank-
ing as one of the richest gold cen-
tres in the world. Love of ,golcl is

EXISTENCE,

Beyond the range ot modal sight,
One great Existence must abide
And shine in everIa,stieg light:

When to our fellowmen we turn
And view each faee and form and

This precious truth we soon may

Their lives are all sustained by

Though frail and weak and scatter-

This fact remains, they surely

With fear surveas the press and

T COST GIRL HER LIFE.
oung Woman Had Dressed Up as
a Brigand.
From. Paftinico, 111 Sicily, comes
news of a very sad affair in whic]i
an innocent jest has cost one young
woman her life aLtO left her sister
seriously wounded. The two wo-
men, Anna and Antordna Polizzi,
the latter being only 16 years of
age, took it into their heads to play
a joke upon the tenants of a house
not far from their own. They -
dressed themselves up as brigands,
and directed their steps towards
the neighboring dwelling. They had
disguised themselves so well that
they completely duped a man nam-
ed Savarino who was -walking about
with a gun in his hand looking for
game. He. asked the supposed bri-
gands the reason of their visit, but
without deigning to reply the young
women continued their walk-. After
again calling upon them to stop,
Savarino placed his gun to his
shoulder and fired twice. The fic-
titious brigands fell to the ground.
One of them, Antonina Polizzi, was
shot through the heart, while An-
na was seriously injured. It was
from her cries of terror that, Say-
arino recognized her voice as that
of a woman, and realized the ter-
rible nature of his mistake. He has
now fled from the neighborhood.
LIGHTING THE "FARM HOUSES.
With the increasing education of
farmers' children, and the increas-
ing iatelleetual and social life in
farm -homes the use of artificial
light in ferini houses is increasing,
and thearnoney economy, but more
the 'sanitary economy of artificial
lighting is of increasing importance.
Nor may the aesthetic element, the
effect on life of attractive lighting,
be left unconsidered.
All kerosene lights without man-
tle are very unlike daylight, hard
on the eves; and hence 'likely to
produce pain and nervous irrita-
tion and injury to health.
