"This play of 'The Fatal Card' we've been having here lately," said a Washington merchant; "reminds me of a card story."

Abyssinia is one of the most ancient monarchies in the world. Until recently, however, the king was generally afraid of his chiefs. The prevailing religion of Abyssinia is a very corrupted form of Christianity. It is professed by the majority of the people and by the reigning Egyptian Medical Receipts. Georg Ebers, the Egyptologist, has discovered that many of the queex medical receipts found in old English and German , books came from the ancient Egyptians.: They were not known 'to the Greeks, but were spread from 'Salerno, the great medical school of the Middle Ages, to which they must have come through Coptic and Arabic Mm nder alii left ear. .JAj'UJlj, Mutton, Veal, Chipped r under ti: right, m Hog-War- d, ABYSSINIA. Facts About the Country In Which the Italians Fell. The chief exports are gold, ivory, slaves, coffee, butter, honey and wax., Abyssinia is a very, mountainous country. Many of the peaks are always covered with snow. The literature of1 Abyssinia amounts to little. What there is deals with religious matter. The country is so situated that the climate is one of the most salubrious on the face of the globe. The area of the country is about 200,-00- 0 square miles. Its Inhabitants number a little over 4,000,000. Adowa, where the Italians met defeat, Is the second city in Abyssinia, having about 7,000 inhabitants. The people are mostly agriculturists. Cotton, cloth, leather, parchment, iron and brass are manufactured; The majority of the inhabitants ot Abyssinia are of the Caucasian race and are well formed and handsome. The language of the religion and literature of the country is the Geez, which belongs to the Ethloplc class of languages. ;'V' According to the Abysslnians the queen of Sheba was their ruler and from her. son Menelek their kings are descended.

There isn't a great deal of funny reading in the Blue Book, which tells all about what everybody gets who works for Uncle Sam, ; be his or her. station what it may, but there is a little. Perhaps It seems funnier than It really Is on account of ils environments, but it does seem a trifle ridiculous to read in st a chronicle of "Where born, where appointed from, where employed, salary," the name of Grover Yellow Bey." This distinguished namesake of tho president is drawing wages from Uncle Sam and has to sign the pay roll or did last year at any rate along with another Indian policeman named Grover Mountain Sheep. Political names are not common, but they do get on the rolls. Witness, Hoke Red Thunder. This is a direct bid for sympathy from the great and good secretary of the Interior. Most of the 'first names are Anglo-Saxo- n, and they are to the true names of the Indians as a plug hat upon Apollo Bel videre. Dismounts Thrice is one man's name. That tell3 a story 'of how when a little boy came into tho world, and with the first thin, sharp squall he uttered getting the newfound air out of his lungs to get more in, and so keep up this process by day and night until the world ended for him, the father stepped out of the tepee and he saw .a man get off his horse three times. One wonders what was up. Was he thrown off ? What was he about, anyhow? That was what went Into the mind of this "man's father. He wondered at it and so named the child for the first thing he saw. But how It cheapens all to tack on before the name the handle "William." Henry Look for Horses is another such name. So is Ivan Star Comes Out Where got he that Ivan? So is James Clinches and John j Crazy Dog. But what is William Walks Under Ground? A mole? How came Geoffrye Chips by his first name? And what eastern man will think of chips; as anything else than what an ax would cut from a piece of wood. Plainsmen will smile a little at that notion. Brian Poor Thunder! That tellsr of a storm muttering in the west when this boy was born, and the father thought the rumble a tame affair. There are plenty of men named Lightfoot, and one man calls himself James C. Lightning. Some day If they don't all die off these names once fixed will be as honorable as that of the man who once kept hogs and whose descendants now are rather .proud that their name Is to get down to Howard, or the bones of the thing.
