Ahyssir;an Conditions.

The last Mokammedaa aggression
against Abyssini;. took place III 1896,
when 8, 800 Egyptian troops attempted
without previous declaration Of war to
ovelran tbs %irJ.iIce OF li1ta ~ V-Gee
to bring Attyssinia into ut 5tGtlQl 70
tine Egyptian state. Professor REiH1sal
was at the time on 4 Journey 70 Ahys-
sinia and witnessed lie patriotic spirit
which inspired the pC1a!e. Oh the self
same DAY That the Egyptian troops be-
gan to land ut Massaua swift mcssen-
gers carried the news thence into the
interior. From hill to hill blazed the
far seen beacon fires, and waEcries rang
throughout the provinces OF the king
dom. On the following day tile ceItcrs
OF population already resembled mill
tary camps. Priests and monks were
everywhere preaching a holy wal for
the defense of the cross and tho father
land. Without military summons Ct re-
cruiting Of volunteers ali the ablebodied
men of their own accord got ready their
guns, swords and laEces. Women and
slaves looked to the supply of Iroyi-

equipped men turned out from the
province Of Hanasen alone to occupy
the mountain pass toward Ti9re before
the Egyptian troops had left Nassau.
The outcome of the war, 50 fatal 70
Egypt, is well known. Ii gave the i'm
mediate impulse to the events which
finally led to the occupation OF Egypt
By Great Britain.
Az regards the probable destination
CT Abyssinia, Professor Reinisci gave
it as his opinion that-at least within
a measurable time-lt will certainly
not share the fate of the Egyptians.
They have been for centuries a nation
Of slaves; the Abyssinians q race Of
freeman. The conquest Of the country
By a nation capable Of bearing the great
expense necessary is, OF course, posi-
Bile, but it may be safely said that it is
a much lighter task to conquer Abys-
siIia than to goTern it afterWard. For,

iaeca. 1t il today a poor country, hay-
ing teen exhausted BY its wars. To
bring back its prosperity the blessings
of q secured and lasting peace arc
urgently needed. Geographical Jour

The Value of Credit.

Is there anything under the sun that
Will FIJI tie place OF credit? | leiiaye
not. II there il, ] haye never met with
it. Cash is the only available substi.
tute, and even that fails III many in
stances.
There are firms in New York that
will refuse to open all account for cash
with . man VINO has no credit. They
will have no business transactions with
any one who has not a current credit
rating in this market. Yet those same
firms will not hesitate to open an ac-
count with a man whom they find rela-
lively we'll rated.
| have experienced that singular
thing-a wholesale firm that refused to
sell goods for cash to a merchant who
had no credit rating. Reference showed
that he always paid cash and neither
sought nor received credit. The firm in
question refused to sell to him. 1t had
no assurance Of his soundness, no other
testimony of his disposition to play fair
other than that he paid as he went, SO
1t positively refused to do business
with him. He asked no accommodation
at its hands. He wanted goods and
would pay on the spot, yet it posi-
lively refused to place his name upon
its books in any capacity whatever.
This only goes to show that mo rec
ord" is a bad record. The man who is
not rated good is bad. Some men will
persist III Judging every man a rogue
until he is proved honest.
Be careful of your credit. You can
have no more precious possession than
a good name, nor more valuable capital
than a good credit rating. The practice
of having your check received by your
creditor the day it is due instead of
sending iG on that day is q trihing
thing, yet it will net go unnoticed.
Trihes like this supplement your rating
in dollars and cents and help to stiffen
it. Make no promises you cannot keep,
and whether prompt or slow be as good
as your WORLDLY Goods Chronicle.

THE FAMOUS GIN LAW.
How It Was Received and Evaded by the
English Public.

English Public.
This famous "gin law" passed in
1886, is interesting as the earliest Sc
we're blow at liquor dealing among civ
ilized nations. 1t levied a tax Of eos. ii
gallon on spirits, and a license Of $50
for any enc selling or dealing i'll them.
And, being il advance Of public cpin-
ion, it failed, much as other more
stringent prohibition laws have failed
in u own day. For the cry was at
nee raised that il taxed the poor mans
gin and let the rich mans wine 20
free. Every wit, every caricaturist, had
his fling at it. Ballads were hawkel
around telling Of the approaching
death of Mother Gin. The liquor shops
were hung with black and celebrated
uproarioasly Nine. Ganeva's lying in
state, her funeral, her wake and SO on.
The night before the law went into
effect, SO the contemporary journals
say, there was a universal reyal All!
over the country. Every enc drank his
fill and carried homo as much gin Ee

A Good Reason.

The general passenger agent Of one
of the Chicago trunk lines received a
letter from a Kansas man the other day
requesting a pass for himself to Chicago
and return. There was nothing about
the letter to indicate that the writer
had any claim whatsoever to the courte-
81 he requested, but the railway man
thought that perhaps the Kansan had
some connection with the road in some
way, possibly as a local freight agent.
So he wrote back, "Please state explic-
lily on what account you request trans
portation." By return mail came this
reply, I've got to 60 to Chicago some
way, and | don't want to walk. "-Ex-

William Meyer, mail carrier be
tween Doylestown and Carversville,
residing at the latter place, left home

found that one room on the first floor
was well burned and the flames were
about communicating with the room
above.

caught from the fue, and only his
timely return saved his house from
complete destruction.
