is released with the mark OF his disgrace
forever attached to him. II is almost
needless TO say that few debts are con-
tracted in Abysinia.
QUAINT RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
In one way they are tremendously re-
lgious, and two out of every three days.
the year through are fast days. The
Virgin Mary they pray 10 and call upon
for protection. Motherhood in the eyes
of the Abysinians Is most sacred. and
they venerate their own mothers beyond
all else. The will Of their mothers is
law and part of their religion. They
argue if they obtain the good will OF the
Virgin she win intercede for them with
Christ and that He will follow heE
wishes. They believe that women are
more tender-hearted than men and quick
er TO forgive transgressons.
In ordinary times the stranger In
Abyssinia who processes 10 be follower
of the Virgin is treated with rare cour-
tesy. No door is closed against
him, and the best in the poorest or rich
est house is at his command. He Is as
safe from harm as II he were in his own
homo and nothing is left unoone 10 make
him comfortable.
GREAT PLACE FOR FEUDS.
III IS propaDiy the greatest country Tor
feuds the world over. These feuds seem
destined TO last forever. and the older
they grow the stronger they become. A
whole family may be exterminatcd. but
the next OF kin Is bound 10 step In and
carry on hostiiities. In this way the
fight is kept up generation after genera
ton. until the original cause of the row
has been completely lost sight of.
A ma, who feels that he has been
insulted makes a formal call upon his
enemy and Is received by servant. to
whom he imparts the reason OF his visit.
This IL simply formal notification Of
war. The caller Is treated with 4 show
Of hospitality, being invited 70 eat and
drink, but members OF the family do not
show themselves. After he has passed

Connecticut has a new law against
the adulteration of food, and the law
officers have found by careful tests
that the articles most tempered with
are coffee, mustard, maple syrup,
lard, milk, creom of tartar and honey.
Coffee, both ground and unground,
is subject to imitation and adultera-
ton to ruinous degree. 1t is the
opinion of the Connecticut experts
that more than half of the coffee sold
in this country is poisonously adul-
terated and a swindle.

The trustees and patrons of Cy-
\ press Hill school, having selected as
teacher a graduate of the State Nor
NAL, applied to the President
and Superintendent for contract,
which was refused on the grounds
that the resolution of the Board for
babe it, unless the teacher would sub
NIT to an examination.
Upon this refusal, writ of man
damus was sued out to compel them

Judge Watkins held that, under
the State law, the teacher was entitled
to a first grade certificate, but that

ton in the employment of teachers,
and dismissed the writ.
The action of the Board and it's
