QUEEN TAITOU A STICKLER.
Menelek's Wife Occupies a DiEnified
Position on Abyssinia's
Throne.

There is no European queen consort
dlling a more dignified station than EN-
press Taitou of AbysSnia. She has a
large household of her own, her lord
stewards, chamberlains, buffers, cooks
and guards She directs all the grand
feasts, has immense appanages all over
the empire, and resources IN kind. She
leads a sedentary life because there are
no interesting promeDades, but when
she shows herself in public she is sur

brella bearers and other attendants
The umbrellas are of many colors, but
Taitou's is red.
The empress Is a stickler for ETH
quette, to which Menelek attaches no
importance. Nobody who has not been
formally presented to her must gaze on
her, even within the precincts of the
palace. She has large kitchen garden,
which is one of her many delights, but
the moment the red umbrella appears
the gardeners must retire. All the serv.
ants stand aloof with downcast eyes as
she walks by. Not taking much exer.
else, Taitsu is lost in fat. Nevertheless,
her presence is dignified. She Is won.

are well written, and in bright, nat

those of many a well-educated Euro

only distinguished from that of her
ladies by its impeachable cleanliness
and aeatners.

THE OLD SOLDIER MUSES..
He Hears for the FIRST Time That
They Set n Plate for Him All the
Time He Was Gone.

L heard only the other day" said the
old soldier, that at every meal time, all
the time was away in the army in the
civil war, a plate and knife and fork
were set for me at the table at home.
Many time, if | had only known ic.
while l was falling into line at the
cooks fire at the end of the company
street, with my tin plate and tin cup in
my hand to get the pork and hard
bread and coffee, or whatever we might
have to eat, better or worse, they were
setting plate for me on the table at
home. They entertained me there In
spirits if they could not in flesh, and how
glad they would have been to see me sit
down at the table.
wherever we were, in camp or on the
march, and whether we had much or
little, my plate was always laid for me
at home just the same. I wonder If it
would have helped me if had known it;
If | could have eaten in spirit, as they
entertained me? And | can hear them
now, after all these years, when they
had something that particularly liked.

BEST GOVERNED CITY.
Glasgow Has UneqnaIed sgccess In
the Management of Municipal
Affairs,

The leading and most commenda BILE
feature of the management OF public
affairs is the principle of the sinking
fund, which is applied to every enter
prise or business in which the mGnici
pality is interested, says the American
Magazine of Civics. Whatever debts it
has are on the sure and safe road to
liquidation by the automatic operation
# the sinking fund device. BY this
means the city of Glasgow will, inside
of so years, furnish free water to its
citizens: give them the best electric
lights free; electric or water power al
cost; allow them to ride on it's electric
road at the nominal fare of two cents
for any distance and furnish to all free
use of a magnificent public library.
The city affairs are managed by busi-
ness men with the same prudence with
which they would manage their own
affairs; the question of party politics
enter into no local election and it seems
TO be the object of the municipality to
administer the city's finances in an
economical way, to improve the public
health in its physical and moral basis,
and to give brightness and the possi-
biity of happiness to civil life. Its sue
"ess in al these has been so marked as

l!iHed world aud to gain for itself the
nppellation of the best governed city
on the face of the globe.

MOSQUITOES KILL BEAR.
Deer to Flee to the Snow
Line for safety.

Not only do the Yukon mosquitoes
attack men and oyerN helm them, but
they drive the moose, deer and caribou
up the mountains to the snow line
where these animals would prefer not
to be in berry time. They kill dogs.

often miscalled a grizzly has succumbed

Although the Alaska summer is short,
two brOods of mosquitoes hatch out
each year and are ready for business
from one TO ten seconds after they leave
the water. 1t rains a good deal along
the Yukon, and rain is welcomed, for
it drives the mosquitoes to cover. They
hide under leaves and branches until
the shower is over; then they come out
boiling with rage at the time they have
been forced TO spend in idleness, and
the miner has a harder time than ever
after his respite.
Mosquitoes and snowfakes are not
contemporaries in the states, but in
Alaska it is different. Snow does not
bother them so much as rain, and an
early snow may fall while they are still
on the wing. Fog does not choke them,
either. They appear to like it. They
