Stein, Jr., for the burglary at Westphal S
saloon Friday night. He had been sus-
pected of the burglary and the clues were
worked up and evidence obtained which
warranted the arrest. Stein was tried be-
fore Magistrate Chopper this morning.
The billiard balls were hid under the side
walk near Wall & HIS carriage shop, by
the woman who lives next door. Stein
did not deny hiding the balls and when he
led the police to the place of secretion
seemed surprised that they were gone.
He said another man did the stealing
while he waited outside. Squire Chopper

There are no shops in Adowa or in
any other Abyssinian town, All trade
is done within the traders home or
compound over glass of tedge or
Matte. Flour is ground by the wo-
men of the house; on the premises
bread is made; tedge and mead are

house rears its own cattle as we'll as

ordinary medium of barter. Members
of our mission traded good deal with
empty beer bottles, receiving two
chickens and dozen eggs for n quart.
made everlasting friendship with a
village chief by making him present
of an empty Worcester sauce bottle
the glass stopper appearing to be a
source of delight and comfort to him.
Abyssinians seem to require "but lit
tie here below" as regards variety in
their diet, and are very conservative
as to the paucity of vegetables. On
ions, with another savoryplnnt almost
rs obnoxious to the nasal organs, with
the addition of capsicums, are all they
seem to care about. Potatoes were in.
troduced somc time ago, but are nev.
or allowed to come to maturity, and
are eaten green. Nj, the only Eu'
ropean resident in the country, who
came to Abyssinia to repair muskets,
introduced watercress, which now
grows near all the brooks round about
Adowa, but the natives do not patron
ilc it. When the gunsmith called up
on the admiral to pay his respects
with that flowery politeness proverbia
to Frenchmen, ho presented him will
a bouquet of these pungent little
leaves, and supplied MS ever after
