to terms. 1t took little time. There
was a slaughter of the natives on the
plain of Arogi, but it was not until
Magdala was bombarded that Theo-
dorus realized that the British were
too many for him. AS the English en-
tered the palace he shot himself, pre-
ferring death to the disgrace of defeat.
John, or Johannes, his successor,
fell in 1889 in the war against the
Dervishes of the Soudan, but prior to
his fall he was engaged in conflict with
Egypt in regard to the boundary ques-
ton, conflict in which the latter was
worsted. Gen. Gordon endeavored to
arbitrate the matter, but was not sue
cessful in his mission to the naughty
Abyssinians; for several weeks he was
kept prisoner by them, and it is
doubtful if he was even allowed an
audience with the august, "Negus."
Johannes was succeeded by Menelek
II.
When Menelek aspired to the throne
he was assisted in the subduing of his
rivalc and the accession to the kingship
by the Italians, with whom he made a
treaty, by virtue of which the Italian
government claimed a protectorate

trace it back to these two. With such
illustrious forbears it is no wonder the
Abyssinian sovereign bears the proud
title of "Negus Negusti' (King of
Kings; and that the people acknowl
edge no other race their equal.
The highest plateau in Africa is
that of Abyssinia. The people are
mountaineers, hardy, independent,
jealous of foreigners and hostile to-
wards them. They are not an agricul-
tural folk, the land being given over
largely to pasturage; sheep, cattle and
goats finding abundant sustenance and
flourishing accordingly. Forests of
very valuab BILE timber add to the riches
of the land, while coffee and ivory, the
chief exports, further suggest the
character of the country. Though
close to equatorial Africa, Abyssinia is
blessed with climate healthful and
invigorating. Surrounded on two
sides by the deserts of the Soudan, it
rises a green oasis in parched land;
with sound of running water, sight
and shelter of leafy tree, and broad
SAeShu VI grassy pidihS.
Ancient Ethiopia was the designa-
ton given to what is known in the pres
ent day as Abyssinia. It's earliest his
tory we have no authentic account of,
but we have evidences that the Ethio-
plans were held in esteem by the most
cultivated nation of ancient times, the
Greek. They were converted to Chris
tianity in the fourth century.
In the fifteenth century. a handful of
Portuguese settled in Abyssinia and
brought in some outside influence.
When the king that had protected
them died, his successor and the
priests treated them badly, the colony
ended in failure, and Abyssinia was
again shut to foreigners. In 1867, when
Theodorus was king of Abyssinia, an
English expedition penetrated his fast
nesses and made known to the world
great deal concerning this hitherto
very exclusive nation.

CANADA's FARM WEALTH.
EngIand's Beef Has Been Largely
Supp1anted by the Pork of
the Dominion,

The time honored notion that Can
ada is land of snow, where the mer-
curry goes into winter quarters for
nine months of the year, and whose
principal products are furs, logs and
lumber, disappears forever from the
mind of the traveller through these
rich fertile provinces, states the De-
troit Free Press.
But it should never be forgotten that
the winter is one of the Canadian
farmers most valuable assets. The
cereals grown in the north contain
more fesh-forming and nourishing
parts than those grown in the south.
1t is well-known fact that the rains
in England, from November to March,
drain out of the land into the sea more
nitrates per acre than are required
by crop of wheat. The grip of the
frosts holds these Canadian nitrates
steady until the terminating grain re-
quires them in the spring.
Wheat, oats and barley, the latter
of such fine quality that American
brewers curse to this day the tariff
that excludes it, are largely raised.
Butter and cheese of the kind which
gourmands dream about are exported
| In large quantities, 100000 tons going
In 1900 to the British market. The
value of the cheese exports rose from
$9,000,00O in 1890 to over $19,000,0OO in
! 1900, an increase of over 100000 in
ten years.
A curious incident which throws
some light on the dark ways of the
middleman occurred in connection
with the expectation of Canadian
cheese. The department of agricult-
ure had some of the Canadian article
traced through the British markets,
and eventually found it masquerading
as cheddar before Montreal cpl
cures.
Fruits of all kinds are grown in the
open air throughout the provinces of
Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec.
Canadian apples are esteemed the fin
est in the world. The people of the
British isles in 1900 took S97, 600 barrels
of which the value was So, 400, 900. Along
the shores of Lake Erie peaches and
grapes are raised in great quantities,
and the finest of pears, apples, small
fruits of every description and sew
eral kinds of citrus fruits are common
from Niagara to the northern border.
Nor does this exhaust the agricultural
resources of this section. Mighty
granted steers and fat heifers cross
the Atlantic in such numbers that the
roast beef of old England has become
memory for grandsires to chuckle
over, while the backwoods hog ends
his days in a British metropolitan
slaughter house. Cattle on the hoof
to the value of SIS ,o39 900 were exported
in 1900 to Great Britain. In ten years
it is confidently expected that the to-
tai value of food commodities exported
will reach $780, 900, and without any
material increase in the population oc-
