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

The visit of the American commits
sion to Abyssinia for the purpose of
negotiating a trade treaty with King
Menelek, and the favorable reception
accorded it by the able but half saw
age ruler of that interesting but large
ly 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 stoI
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 NJ

SILENT SALUTE OF JAPAN.
1t Il Often More Impre sslve Than tho
Most Elthusiastic Form Of
Greeting.

At the recent grand review of the
Japanese fleet, when the mikado's
launch went by, the civilians removed
their top hats and the officers stood
saluting in absolute silence. In the
same profound silence his majesty was
received on board the Asama, lined
along the sides with motionless men.
There was something much more i'm
pressive about this than the most en-
thusiastic cheering would have been.
says the Sydney (Australia) Town and
Country Journal. 1t is considered
more respectful by the Japanese. Only
once was he greeted otherwise, which
was considered quite an ovation. That
was on the occasion Of his entry after
the victorious war with China. when
the enthusiasm and loyalty of the peo-
pie burst forth into an ovation such
as few monarchs have ever received.
AS he stepped on board the royal
standard was floated from the mizzen-
mast-a great crimson flag, with the
chrysanthemum in gold. Precisely at
$50 o'clock the Asama began to move
in the direction of the feet, and then
all the assembled ships, including
those of foreign nationalities, f1red
a royal salute simultaneously.
The Mayako and Chihaya took up their
places behind the Asama, which slowly
and deliberately steamed down between
the lines. She passed between the Jap
anse admirals flagship at the head Of the
line and his majesty's Glory, the flagship
of the British admiral. which respective
ly, headed the lines OF Japanese and for
eign vessels. The emperor was greeted
with three British cheers as he passed,
and, as the Japanese have taken the
British navy as their model, each OF the
ships replied with three cheers to the
words ''Ho hail" (honorably salute).
Including the foreign ships there were
four lines;- the tonnage Of the Japanese
amounted to 220, 1000 tons. The emperor
passed down between the first and sec
ond and returned between the third and
fourth lines The Chen Yuen, captured
from the Chinese, was at the end Of the
second line-a fine war trophy for that
| young fleet. Passing through these lines
| OF grim death machines one was struck
with the thought OF the wonderful things
these people had accomplished in 30
years.
What a retrospect might pass through
the mind Of that man on the bridge of
the Asama! Marquis Ito stood behind
him, to whom more than any other that
fleet owed its existence. 1t was proud
day for him and for those who had la
bored with him in the great revolution
or reformation.

The VOICES OF WOMEN.
Among the More Musical That of the
American Is Penetrating
and Strident.

See the American woman among
those of foreign countries, and note
instantly that though she is gloriously
victorious in feature, figure, clothes,
even often in complexion, her voice is
sadly lacking in modulation, softness
and fineness! Among the more
musical voices of her foreign sisters
the American woman's is high, pene-
trating and often strident, says
Woman's Home Companion.
1t is probable that climatic causes
have something to do with this harsh
ness OF utterance-for our men have
bad voices, too-but it is certain that
the quality of voice is dependent upon
other things than atmosphere, and
that if she will, the American woman
may do much to remedy this defect.
The first move is to face the fact
that our voices are bad, thing which
very few of us think about Then we
must set about training them. There
are, of course, many physical rules to
follow, which are vastly helpful, and
which may be learned from compe-
tent teacher of voice-culture But let
us concern ourselves here chiefly with
the mental attitude of the speaker
which means SO much.
AS Americans we have the perni-
cious habit of throwing ourselves
wholly at people. We endeavor al
ways to keep ourselves at the highest
pitch, in order to impress the people
with whom we come in contact. This
is frequently unconscious, but none the
less it is present We are not satisfied
to go our ways quietly, earnestly, at.
tempting to live up to the best thai
Is in us; but We must impress Others
with our presence, and often we do this
only by giving up some of the deeper
pleasures and living rather at the sur
face of things. 1t. seems certain thai
the quality of our voices is due, partly
at least, to this attitude of mind. Oul
life is pitched high; SO are our voices
we live at an unpleasant rate: oul
voices are unpleasantly harsh ant
sounding. 1t would be very beneficial
to the American woman if she would
endeavor after serener habits O
thought. She needs to be more repose
full, more disinterested, to live les
tensely, to cultivate calmer and les'
militant attitude toward the world
Then. thinking always of her tone, o
her expression. she can do much t,
render her voice mellow, rich, colder
even, as are the voices we hear in ou
imagination from the beautiful womel

DRESS AND DISCOMFORT.
Men Swelter and Swear In Hot
Weather, But Keep On Wear
ing the Same Suit.

Not the least of the draw backs of CIV
ilization is the character of clothing that
civilized convention requires the man
person to wear during the heated
months. Womankind usually dresses
somewhat more sensibly, but even she
finds stays and like denominations
great burden in midsummer. One
never heard of savages suffering from
heat prostration, nor do we get reports
of country boys being similarly af-
fected, says the Indianapolis Journal.
Man, particularly if he over 80, is dis
posed to be ultra-conservative in the
matter Of clothing. He likes to wear
one suit of clothing four or five months,
and then put on another and wear it a
similar length of time, and so on. When
the hot months come he may make the
concession of leaving off his waistcoat,
but that is usually as far as he goes for
street wear. He will wear a somewhat
lighter suit of underwear in summer
than in winter, but this and the divested
waistcoat are practically the only diff
ferentiation made in the character of
clothing that is expected to serve for
the chill months. Stiff linen collars,
heavy linen cuffs, coat and not infre-
Quently stiff hat are clung to like grim
death for the most ordinary street wear
while, if the occasion be any sort OF
function, men are as likely as not to
wear heavy frock coats, waistcoats and
a whole raft Of unnecessary clothing.
When the shirt waist" fad came in
a few years ago it looked for time as il
men might give up the foolishness ol
coats in midsummer, but the few who
were bold enough to leave them Off were
laughed at, and whether it was the fea,
Of ridicule or the lack Of pockets tha

STAFF STATUARY.

an exact counterpart of the model on an
enlarged scale.
"Staff is simply long fiber soaked in
plaster of paris, mixed thin with water.

it's arrival in the rope stage ia run
through machines to loosen 1t. Made

hammered, and whitfield like wood,
while various forms can be made as ef-
fectively as with plaster Of paris alone.
"A staff modeler proceeds exactly as
though his work were to be executed in
Pariar marble or enduring bronze, in
stead OF perishable plaster. A frame-
work OF wood or iron with flexible lead
pipe for the arms and neck Of the fg-
ure is first made, corresponding to the
model which it is intended to copy. A
huge pointer, somewhat like the penta-
graph used by art students, is used in
obtaining the correct enlargement, one
point resting on the model and the other
dotting the enlarged counterpart. Every
inch OF the statue in process Of making
| is thus accurately measured.
| "The man who executes this first
process in the formation Of stan slaps
huge handfuls of wet stuff on the
wooden framework, shaping 1t crudely
with thumb and fingers, and necessarily
using the huge pentagraph for meas
urements.

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 ruie, and Gallas
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
be changed He has emphatically for
hidden the traffic in Gallas men, and
those who violate his edict are to be
excommunicated. 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
the 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-
liar and terrible punishment of mu-
tilation practiced in Abyssinia will be
inflicted.
In Abyssinia there are no small
jails, and about the only means Of
dealing with criminals is by way OF
corporal punishment. This has given
| rise to some of the most cruel prac-
tices, Of which the infliction Of mu-
tilation is one. The offender who suf-
fers thus has hand or foot taken on
and he is marked for life. He may nc
longer come near the homes of the
| Abyssinians. He is an outcast. FooG
is given him, but he may not stay II
| one place long. He must keep on tht
| move. And because these mutilatet
| criminals are to be seen almost every
where in Abyssinia, when a man meets
| with an accident he dislikes having
any one of his members amputated.
The Gallas, which have for so Ion,
been the prey Of their more powerful
neighbors, occupy the country border
ing on the Blue Nile to the south an,
west Of Abyssinia proper, although
the Shangalla country is really part O
Abyssinia. The Gallas are the neares
negro race to Abyssinia and the gree
for gold has encouraged the raiding 9
their country and the taking of slave
to send into Arabia. When the grea
slave chief of the Soudan, Osman Dig
ma, was captured couple of years az
the backbone of the powerful slav
trade was broken in Africa, but theI
were others concerned in the tram
and ready to continue it.

they have a trick of thrusting their heads
upwards as they run, making slashing
cuts at any object in their path. As soon
as the dogs begin chasing the peccaries,
the old and experienced hunter retires
to some point of vantage, such as stump

Here he waits his chance and picks of
