THE CALAIS SLAVES
King Menelek Has Ordered That
Traffic in Them Be Stopped.
Latest Reform Ia COincident with
Visit OF American Commission to
Abyssinia-The Punishment
of Mutilati0n.

The visit OF the American commits
sion to Abyssinia for the purpose of
negotiating trade treaty with King
Menelek, and the favorable reception
accorded it by the able but half saw
age ruler of that interesting but large
ty unknown country. has given every
bit of news from Abyssinia a greater
interest to the American reader, and
when recently it was reported that the
last vestiges Of the slave trade which
has always existed in Abyssinia was
to be abolished it was especially
gratifying and welcome news.
1t seems Abyssinia has long been
the highway for the slave raider. The
black man captured in the country
west and south of Abyssinia has been
carried across the territory OF the
king of kings to the French port of
Jibuti on the Somali coast, and from
thence sent across the Red sea and the
Gulf of Alden into Arabia, where ready
sale is found for the human wares. A
treaty was signed with the former
ruler Of Abyssinia, King Johannes, by
England in 1884, pledging him to not
only stop the traffic in human flesh
across his country, but to put stop
to slavery as it existed within his do
mains, and be it said to his credit.
this really good king carried out the
terms of this treaty, and there Is nc

known case of slaves passing through
his dominiOns from the time the treaty
was signed to the day of his death.
This cannot be said for King Menelek,
who at the time was ruling over the
southern part of Abyssinia, and upon
the death of King Johannes gained
control of the whole Of Abyssinia, for
slave caravans have passed through
the country under his rue, and Calais
slaves from his dominions have al
ways been for sale in Hodeidah and
Mecca, in Arabia.
But according to the latest procla-
nation of King Menelek all this is to
De changed. He has emphatically for
hidden the traffic in Gallas men, and
hose who violate his edict are to be
accommodated. 1t seems that he
has issued similar edicts before,
threatening to excommunicate those
who violated the order, but they have
not been needed. Under the terms Of
he last order of the king he declares
that ''all who are taken in the act of
selling men shall be punished in your
person" This means that the pecu-
lar and terrible punishment of mu-
tilation practiced in Abyssinia will be
inflicted.
In Abyssinia there are no small
iails, and about the only means Ut
dealing with criminals is by way Of
corporal punishment. This has given
rise to some of the most cruel prac-
ices. of which the infection of mu-
ic hn 10

M. &. Gee, M. D.
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim irectly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerye-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.

A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their

thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against So

Peruna occupies unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal

medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
avery one will admit, is the cause of one

ABOUT LAMPS.

The common kerosene lamp which
is used in almost every household will
give a bright even light and be a
properly cared for.
The bowl of the lamp should be kept
full of oil, but when not in use, the
wick should be turned low to keep the
Oil from oozing out upon the burner.
If the wick is soaked in vinegar, then
dried before it is put in the lamp it is
not likely to smoke. The wick should
be trimmed evenly with a pair OF
sharp scissors that the flame may al
ways be even.
Use none but the best burners. In
ferior burners are cheaper at first but
soon get out of order. This prevents
the wicks from turning up or down
and the lamps do not give a good
light.
Wash the burners frequently and
scour the discolored parts. A clean
lamp gives no disagreeable odor while
burning.
Lamp chimneys are not as liable to
UACah uPOA CApOOuIS " CAduSCS VI
temperature if they are put in a pan
of cold water and allowed to heat
gradually till the water is boiling and
left in the water till cold again.
When you wish to clean the chin
neys wash them in suds, rinse in clear
water and wipe dry on a towel that
is soft and free from lint; polish with
an old newspaper. Brown spots may
be removed by rubbing them With
cOarS salt.
If you have china or colored glass
lamp shades they should be polished
every day. See that the chimneys fl
closely that there be no danger of theil
falling off when the lamp is removed.

WASHING DISHES.

A careless dishwasher can o o do
a great deal Of damage. The china
is disfgured by having the glazing
cracked and chips broken from the
edges. Ivory and rubber handled
knives and forks are ruined by being
washed in water that is greasy or too
hot: glasses are broken by pouring
water over them; such things are done
every day. yet they are entirely I'M
necessary.
A good dishwasher needs a bright
tin or porcelain dishpan and drainer, a
supply of water, and tea towels that
leave no lint. Do not dump the dishes
into the pan promiscuously, thereby
running the risk of breaking half OF
them. When the food is removed
from the table scrape he plates and
drain out any coffee or tea tina is left
insthe cups. Pile the plates together,
! then the saucers, cups and small
| dishes. Have the pan half full Of wa
ter that is as hot as you can bear your
hands in, put in enough wash
ing powder to make a good suds,
and wash the. glasses first, then the
silverware, and after that the china.
! Put them in the drainer, pour warm
| water over them to rinse them, and
dry with q clean dish towel. Care is
required at every step of the process.
A dish mop may be used if n does
not wish to keep the hands in the hot
water so long. Pudding dishes or
other cooking utensils should soak
awhile before washing. The wire dish
cloth is excellent for cleaning iron
kettles. but should not be used on tin
ware.-E. J.. c., in Detroit Free Press.
