THE "suMMER euTTERFLx."
Small Tradcsmcn Who Turn Cabmen
ia London.

/ wonder if you know what n sum
ner butterfly" is? If you were
skilled in the ways of the cabbv YOU
would know that it is the small trades
men who turn cabmen during the sen
son, returning to their legitimate oc-
cupation when autumn SETS in. But
tertiies" are being gradually weeded
out by the police, and n man Is allowed
to take out cab-driver's license only
when he can prove that he is what he
represents himself to be. \ claimants
earnings greatly depend, may say, on
luck; accordingly, the weekly wage
may range from as low as ten shillings
10 as high as two pounds at certain sea-
sons. The hours, as you know, are cx-
ceedingly long. Supposing man turns
out at ten n. M; he drives the same
horse from six to seven hours. and then,
changing horses, goes on till three
o'clock in the morning. There is not
much difference between hansom- ca b
drivers and the four-wheel men as the
public seem to imagine. Not infre-
quently drivers change and change
ABOUT; thus four-wheeler who feels
that the moving of heavy boxes is past
his strength will take hanson; or,
again, the hanson cabby who finds that
his exposed position brings on rheu-
rpatism and kindred ills, will change in
favor of the more jog-trot vehicle.
There is scarcely well-known cab
driver in London but has his own spe-
cial appellation generally given to hin,
in view of some physical or mental pc
culiarity. Some idea of the literary at
tainments and wide knowledge ofcabby
can be given you by the fact that among
the nicknames may be found "Trilby,"
Lord Randolph Churchill" Flop the
Bcadlc," ulster Jack" Sweet Apple
joe" BUSY Bee" 'Garibaldi," "Nico-
dcmus' and "Four-in-Hand." Not in
frequently the men are known to one
another only by their pseudony1ns.---

AeYssINIAN ART CRITICS.
A "Last Judgment" for MencIik with
Friends and Foes Distributed.

As the Egyptians, Etruscans ana
Greeks We're artistic, so, il seems. are
the Abyssinians. AS is known, great
organ has been ordered from Berlin for
the cathedral of Ads Abeba, the resi-
dence of Emperor Menelilk, and cele-
brated Russian painter, Nladiscow, rs
going there to paint the Negus as he
appeared at the battle of Adowa. The
cathedral of Ads Abeba is composed OF
two churches, one inside the other. The
outside one is open TO all the faithful,
while the inner is reserved for the sa-
cred person of the Negus and his
family. Emperor Menelik, 1t seems,
has an artistic fancy. He wished the
outer walls of the inner church to be
decorated with religious pictures, and
ordered, under the first Crispi cabinet,
the pictures in Italy, sending the meas
ures of the walls and the windows
which break them. The Italian govern
ment received the order with great
pleasure, and commissioned several
artists to paint the pictures, which were
almost finished when Ras Mallonnen

binary. At Turin he saw the pictures,
but they did not please him. the artists
having given them the appearance of
tapestry, and they were forthwith re-
fused.
The commission was again given, this
time to artists in Rome. Ras Makonnen
called to examine the sketches, APP
proved them on the whole, but suggest
ed certain changes. The interpreter
was embarrassed for words TO convey
the exact idea. and the Ras, waxing
impatient, seized C. piece of charcoal,
and, STOPPING, drew the design he
wanted on the tile floor in primitive.
but thoroughly ineligible manner.
The pictures were soon finished. One
represented kind of universal judy
ment; in Paradise are King Humbert,
Queen Margherita, Emperor Meme
Xix, Signor Crispi, Count Antonelli,
who had been Italian representative TO
Shoa. the Ras Makonnen himself, etc,
while in inferno stand Ras Alula, Ras
Mangascia and others. The canvases
were sent, and now, after Adowa, one
would much like to know il the above
mentioned personages retain their re-
spective positions in Paradise and in
ferno, and when the 600 for them
will be paid.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Early Man In Europe.

Judging from skeletons found in
Europe, palaeolithio man was short of
stature and had low retreating fore
head; it is supposed that lie had vel.
lowish skin, which was covered with
coarse hair much like the ainu of Yezo.
He was strong in body, but he had the
diminutive mind of child. Wild and
fierce, he knew little of pity or of love;
he was lower in savagery than any we
know, but he bore the germs of a bet
ter race; he was only hunter, living
on the animals he had slain and the
roots and nuts he could gather At
war with his neighbor and at war with
himself, his life was raclted with fears
and torrents, and his mind filled with
debasing superstitions, which civiliza-
ton has hardly yet wholly eliminated.
