his slave. The sentence was duly carried
out.
At the end of the year Menelik made
inquiries and found that the slave had not
abused his power over his former tyrant.
Thereupon, he set the slave free and gave
him a high office in the government serv-
ice.
Europeans WHO visit Menelik are sur
prised to find that he knows all about
them and their affairs and motives be-
fore they tell him anything. That is due
to the elaborate system of espionage
which he maintains throughout his coun-
try and at the Seaports through which
travellers have to pass.
An Englishman came to him once to
seek for concessions. Menelik knew what
he wanted, but asked courteously:
What is the motive of your visit? Why
| have you come so many thousands OF
miles from your country?'
Englishman replied that he wanted TO
| meet great monarch of whom he had
heard SO much.
Menelik turned from his coldly.
There are already too many liars in
my country" he said. ''You must leave
Adds Abeba in an hour, and never re-
turn"
But straightforward Europeans are
warmly welcomed by the Negus Nagasti
and treated with courtesy and kindness.
When RenneH Rodd visited him to con-
clude a treaty on behalf of Queen Victoria
Menelik discussed the art of medicine and
surgery as If he were a doctor and ex-
pressed regret that. among his numerous
presents, Mr.. Rodd had not bought an
XRay apparatus. Menelik entertained the
envoy and his companions at luncheon.
giving them real European meal, served
on fine china as correctly at a London
club. But the king fed abstemiously on
raw beef and stale bread which are all
he eats.
Menelik stands about feet 10 inches
high, but looks shorter, because OF his
great breadth of shoulders. He Is dark
in face. and his features are negroid and
decidedly ugly. He has a frank, open,
intelligent countenance, a pleasant smile
and courteous winning manner
He is only fifty -eight. He has no heir,
and when he dies Abyssinia, in the opin-
ion of European travellers, will almost
certainly fall back into chaos He is about
the only man in the country who really
desires civilization and progress.
Menelik ascribes much of the success
of his government to the wise counsel
of his consort. Queen Taitu. Her stand
against Italy is only one of many brave,
patriotic deeds. Menelik is her fifth hus-
band, but they are very devoted couple.
She is now over fifty and weighs nearly
200 pounds.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature, but few real
ize its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it Is not drug
at all, but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the stom-
Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which col
1ect in the stomach and bowels; it disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the poi
son of catarrh. ms
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart'S
Absorbent Lozeages; they are composed
of the finest powdered Willow charcoal
and other harmless antiseptics in tablet
form or rather in the fnTzn Of large, pleas
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of the
general health, better epmpiexion. sweeter
1t is, that no possible Charm can result
from their continued use but on the con-
trary, great benefit.

Character of the OsmanIi and Their
Attitude towards Christians.

Orkhan CA. D. 1326-60), true builder of
the Ottoman power. 1t was under
Togrul Beg that "the whole body of
the Turkish nation embraced with fer
vor and sincerity the religion of Ma
homed'
The Turks who, following the for
tunes of the Gilman dynasty crossed
the Bosphorus and settled in Roume-
liza and some other parts of the Balkan
peninsula, now prefer to call themselves
Osmanli, even regulating the national
name, Turk" still retained with pride
by the ruder peasant classes of Asia
Minor. The latter as often spoken of as
"Seljuk Turks" as if there were some
racial difference between them and the
European Osmanli, and for the distinc-
ton there is some foundation. AS point
ed out by ArminiuS Vambery, the Os-
manli have been influenced and modi-
fed by their closer association with the
Christian populations OF the Balkan
lands.
The task of the Turks in establishing
themselves in Europe was rendered
very much more easy than it would
otherwise have been by discussions be-
tween the Balkan peoples, and it is
considered that the survival of the Turk
in Europe to this day is largely due to
this lack of agreement.
The Turks descent from wild East
ern race makes him capable of acts of
great cruelty and ferocity when he is
brought into contact with other ma
tions. But on the other hand, certain
Mahomedan virtues must be allowed
him. 1T is his religion which makes
the Turk hate the infidel,' says re-
cent writer. "The peasant Turk has
few ideas. The one idea he has about
Christians is that they drink Moslems
regard the Christian who drinks as a
beast They hate to touch him, come
near him. see him. He has no soul. A
Greek merchant once entertained us in
an up-country town. By evening his
raki bottle was empty, and he was par
ticularly lively. Courtesy obliged us
to shake hands with him on parting,
but saw my Turk wipe the hand that
was polluted as he went out"
The perpetual struggle between the
Cross and the Crescent has shown that
the Eastern Turk, though slightly
modified by his environment, is inca
pable of governing other races when re-
ligious differences further increase the
breach between East and West.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-01

Bulgaria by it's immediate proximity
to the sultan's dominion and it's racial
connections with the insurgents is nat
ural1y intimately concerned with any
events which occur near it's frontiers.
Sympathy of race and religion render 1t
impossible for Bulgaria to remain as
neutral as politicians might desire. The
Bulgars under Prince Ferdinand enjoy
freedom from the taxation abuses and
other forms of oppression which led to
a great influx of refugees into Bulgaria
Bulgaria complains that business is
hampered and credit damaged by Turk
ish misrule, while Turkey resents the
encouragement given to the insurgents.
The Bulgars are now fairly peaceable
Christian race, but with a capacity for
enjoying a wild life at intervals, which
is perhaps to be explained by their past
history.
In. the centuries preceding the break
up of the Byzantine, or eastern half of
the Roman ,empire, the ancestors of the
modern Bltlgaffan surged from the
Volga odistfidt, Which gave them their
original name of Bulga, towards the
junction with hordes of Huns. The
Bulgars spread the terror of their name
throughout the Balkan lands and were
prevented only by the skill of Belisarius
from anticipating the Turks in the
overthrow of the Byzantine empire tt
self. Terrible pictures have been left
of the ferocity, debasement and utter
savagery both of the Bulgars and Of
their Slav confederates during the pc
Rod preceding the foundation Of the
Bulgar dynasty. The Bulgars left in
their wake naught but picture of their
own cherries native steppes.
To the ethnologist the later history
of the Bulgarians is of exceptional in

lands in the seventh century as typical
