KING NLENELIK II.
The Now Famous Ruler OF Abyssinia
Is a Man of Talents.

Is Man of Talents.
The ruler, or negus, of Abyssinia,
Menelik II, whose victory over the
Italian forces, will probably have an
influence in shaping the history of At
RIGA for many years to come, is a man
of considerable talents.
To dismiss him as a mereuntutored
savage would be both unjust and I'M
wise. Like his predecessor, Theodore
II, who gave US SO much trouble some
80 years ago, and who stabbed himself
with his own hand when Lord Napier
entered Magdala. Menelik is man of
combined courage and cunning.
After the death of Theodore the coun-
try broke up once more into various
petty states, but Menelik, partly by in
trigues and partly by hard fighting,
has brought them all under his rule,
and seven years ago he was proclaimed
Negus. During the English occupa-
tion of the Soudan he gave US great
assistance, having the cunning to see
that it would pay him better to have
us as friends rather than as enemies.
That he is INSCRIPTIONS as well as cum
ming is proved by his intrigues with
the Italians, and by his violation of the
treaty with Italy almost as soon as it
WAS Ill1Qt
He and his people are nominally
Christians. and entertain a hatred of
Mohammedanism, similar to that which
inspired the Crusaders in the middle
ages. Many we'll informed people be-
lieve that Menehk and Abyssinia are
likely to do great things in the near
future.
The situation is thus described by an
observant traveller and student: Meme
Xix is an ambitious and farseeing man.
He has had considerable experience of
Europeans. and fully recognizes the
value of European inventions, especi-
ally mechanical appliances. Like the
Japanese emperor, h. would only be
too glad to see the civilization of the
west obtain a foothold in his kingdom.
He is strongly iInbued with pride and
religion-the two great traits of his
race. 1t is the dream of every Ethiop-
ian that one day his nation will ex-
terminate the hated Mohammedans and
spread Christianity through Turkey
and Egypt, Menelik, being extremely
religious, no doubt has this object con-
stantly in view

THE PIANO MARKET.
What Becomes of All the Second
Hand Instruments.

What Becomes of All the Second
Hand Instruments.
About $4,000 pianos are now being
manufactured annually in America,
and they are practically all for home
consumption. Last year only SO in
struments were shipped abroad Most
of them went to South America, but a
few were sent to Germany.
We get from Europe lar fewer pianos
even than we send there. There has
been an effort made among fashion
able folks to introduce here an Eng
lish make. 1t is fine instrument at
home, but it won't do for America, be-
cause our climate is so much dryer
than the English that the wood shrink5
and warDs here ruinously.
Pianos little need protective laws. In
every case it is the same; changes of
climate affect all makes seriously.
One famous American firm have met
the difficulty by establishing factory
in Hamburg for the German market.
Germany sends some pianos to South
America and TO Australia, and alto
gether she makes as many as we do.
France and England only turn out 4O,-
600 year. The growth of the business
here mas been great, for in 1860 our
about hundred factories in and about
New York.
Pianos seem to disappear from the
world almost as nlysteriously as pins,
perhaps, considering their size, the
fact that the streets are not blocked
with cast-off pianos is more curious
than that the face of the earth fails
to be overlaid with pins An expert
enced New York dealer says that he
has known of about three that were
cut up for kindling wood Yet they
often sell for little more than so much
dealer says he bought six last week
houses to take old instruments and
ton is counted as almost dead loss,
but it brings trade. The Old instru-
ments are refitted and polished up
however, and sold again. To whom?
Where do they go? is still the ques
lion
well" says the dealer, most of
them 80, but 1 can't tell you why, to
Philadelphia. Perhaps it is because
there are so many boarding houses
there Boarding houses are the chief
refuge of secondhand pianos. Then
there is a good deal OF business in
Philadelphia in selling them to the
country people all over the land. Men
that go into that branch of trade can
get pianos pretty cheap, for the first
class houses sometimes get so over
loaded with them that they are al
most willing to pay to have them
carted away"
