DINNER WITH THE NEGUS.

 The table service is curious med ley of costly, beautiful gold vessels and broken crockery of the cheapest kind. The Europeans use knives ana forks. the Abyssinians are fed by slaves. Silence pervades the room during the three hours from 10 a. m. to 1 D. m. while the feast is going on. and you hear the distant sound of the great crowd waiting impa- tiently for admittance and the beat ing of the drums in honor of the Archangel Gabriel at the church close by.
 The moment the Europeans have ended their meal the curtains are drawn aside .and through every door the stream of natives pours in. There are eighty tables, each in charge of an Overseer and four assistants. and from five to six thousand Abyssinians are in an incredibly short time at the top of their voices.
 Each table is served by eight slaves, who are kept hard at work supplying the diners with great Jumps of raw meat, with which they eat the leaves of a native vegetable. the anghera. They eat enormous quantities of both drinking honey water. the national beverage. out of gigantic horns.

muleta into the beasts eyes. The latter
lunges repeatedly, but always at the red
