were dispatched early this wear on u mis-
sion to Ahyssinia to accompany Meme
lik'S army in the combined Anglo Abys-
sinian expedition against the Mad Mui-

Cohbold says the Abyssinian army mas
no system of Intelligence, and possesses
no maps. Although the Negus has often
received offers from foreign governments.
he has never hitherto permitted foreign
officers 10 accompany his army on active
service.
The force numbered about $4,000 men.
many of whom fought against the Itai-
ians in the late war, and constituted the
flower of Menelik's army. There are no
ether soldiers who can do 50 much worf
with so little pUurishmeut. Discipline is
maintained almost entirely by the per-
sonal attachment of the men to their
leaders. The practice of mutilatiug tbs

made and gradually fills it with her
dainty belongings. These chests are bic

made of silver or heavy wrought iron.
A shining plate on the top is inscribed
with the brides Initials or they are cut
in relief upon the iron or in the wood.
Beneath Il delicately scented cover are
kept the various dainty bits of lingerie
made by the brideto- be.
With the revival of the wedding chest,
first made popular 10y her great-grand-
mother, is the fad among young women
TO fashion their own undcrgarments. The
materials of linens with hand embroider-
les which she uses are more like the
linens woven by the industrious girl of a
hundred years ago. who sat ut her own
loom and spun the fabrics for her we'd
ding clothes. Into the chest must go at
least a dozen of each garment. The IA
vorite color of the bride prevails in the
decoration of her white underwear. Pale
blue is a popular color, and the ribbon is
used in the greatest profusion. Corset
covers made of ribbon and insertion. with
