tween the empress and the heir appar-
ent from being achieved
For many generations the northern
states have been the predominant part
ncr In the Abyssinian federation. With
the succession OF Menelik, who WAS
hereditary ruler OF the leading south
ern state. the south became supreme,
and as the Empress Taitu Is a south-
erner. the south at the present time
is looking to her to continue It's Sill
premany over the north
It happens, however. that Prince
Lydj Eyassu Is the son of one of
Mcneliks daughters. by q wife other
than the Empress Taitu. who was mar
ried by Menelik to very powerful
northern prince. the Ras Michael OBJ
viously, therefore, the heir-apparent Is
a northerner, and his father. 80 far as
he has been able. has reused the north
to support his sons interests. In this
way the succession Is complicated by
n tribal quarrel which 1t is almost i'm
possible to settle save by force of arms.
Tho empress thoroughly understands
the situation, but she Is at the dsad-
vantage of. being supported by tribes
who do not make such good soldiers
nor are so fond of fighting as those
OF tho north.
UNITED BY MARRIAGE
Thc dlnerenc3 between the Two DeO-
pies is considerable. and influences The
dynastic position so much that the En-
press Taitu lately arranged a mar

the Princess Romanie, who is her niece,

northern ruler. the Emperor John. BY
this marriage the dynasty OF the north
was united with that of the south and
many powerful families In addition

emperor and empress though the COM

moment no one outside OF Abys-
slnia knows whether Emperor
Menellk is living or not. His
death has been reported thrice, and
thrice denied. 1t would be quite DOS

nounced Tle-to) the most powerful
woman on the African continent since
perhaps tho day of Cleopatra, to con-

south. the bitterness between the two

COUNCIL OF REGENTS.
On the other hand. Menelik has done
his best for his grandson, and with a
view TO checking the Vaccinations of
the empress, he appointed, during one
of his rare lucid intervals. council
of regents composed of two OF his
strongest supporters and the Empress
Taitu. In addition nominating one OF
the regents to be guardian of the heir
apparent. This check upon the activity
of the empress has had no very ma
terlal result, since she was able to
make her own authority prevail where
ever difference of opinion marked tho
counSels of the trlumvlrate.. The ell
max of this situation arrived when the
emperor, at last years Easter gather
ing of the princes md people of the
land. proclaimed his grandson as his
heir. and compelled all TO swear al
legiance to him. Tho empress circum-
vented this measure by causing the
little princes name to be omitted
from the proclamation. and. In its
place, to appear a word that meant
simply obedience to the general kith
and kin OF the emperor. Since that
date the marriage between the emper-
or's grandson and the empress's niece
has taken place. but undoubtedly II

In appearance Prince Lydj Eyassu
strikes an appealing note. He Is well
built, supple, tall. though somewhat
slight. His features are regular and

element. and he is far fairer In COM

Abyssinians possess delicate features,

feet. the result OF an Arab strain In

Drinking Cup Sediment Kills a Pig

plan also has been advocated in
schools. but the better and safer plan
is believed to be the installation of
what are known as Nbubbling" cups
with the water flowing over the rims
all the time.
A cup used in a high school for
several months without having been
washed was found to be lined inside
with a thick brownish deposit. I'm
der the microscope this deposit proved
to be composed of particles of mud,
thousands of bits of dead skin, and
millions of bacteria. Some of this
sediment was injected under the skin
of a healthy guinea pig and forty
hours later the pig died. An examina-
tion afterward showed that pneumonia
germs had caused death. A second
guinea pig was inoculated with some
Of the sediment from the same cup
and developed tuberculosis. Careful
inquiry showed that several pupils
in this school from which the cup
was taken were then suffering from
consumption.
An agitation Is urged asking the
school board to install the "brbblinS"
cups in all schools.
