NEW RULER OF ABYSSINIA
Woman Is Now Chief of That Pictur-
esque Country, the Ethiopia Of
Ancient History.

Ouizero ZeOdita, daughter of the late
Menelik, has been proclaimed empress
of Abyssinia. She is forty years old.
The empress succeeds Emperor Lidj
Jeasu, who has been deposed. Abys-
sinia is one of the most interesting
nations of the earth. 1t is the Swift
erland of Africa. 1t is one-third larger
than Great Britain. 1t occupies the
mountainous regions of the valley of
the Upper Nile, extending to the low
er end of the Red sea and over the
watershed toward the Indian ocean.
The land is fertile, yielding the prod
uct of all climes, some of them three
crops a year. Bananas, dates, sugar,
cotton, grapes, oranges, lemons and
coffee all flourish, and on the table
lands hay, oats and barley are cult
waited. Abyssinia is the only indie
pendent native state in Africa. 1t has
fine public improvements. modern agri-
cultural implements and many of the
best conveniences of civilized living.

history.-Christian Herald.
