one of the worlds earliest civiliza-
tlons.
In the bottoms Of these deep valleys,
some Of which are fairly WIDE and in
other depressions, tropical conditions
prevail, so that the possible products
of Abyssinia range from those Of the
tropics to those of the northern tenn
perate zone. Little has been done
toward the development of agriculture
beyond its primitive stages. The rails
ing of cattle, sheep and goats for their
milk, flesh and skins is the more popu-
lar pursuit.
The Abyssinian has been described
by one American as rather an inde-
pendent, easy-living, battle-loving,
care chap" Socially, the people are
living in feudal times The various
reigning princes of the provinces owe
allegiance to the emperor and must
furnish soldiers to support him in
time of war. The land is theoretically
owned by the emperor and those who
make use of it are his tenants. Jus
tice" is administered personally by the
rulers and their representatives. When
person is accused of a crime the
first step is to confiscate his property.
Decision as to his innocence or guilt
can follow in due time. Because prop
erty has been unsafe for long period
people of wealth have buried what
they could for safe keeping. Vast
quantities of gold, silver and ivory
are believed to lie underground at the
present time, the latter, of course, de-
teriorating.
Good Roads Are Scarce.
One great drawback TO the CONNER
cial development of Abyssinia has
| been the lack of roads leading up to
the high plateau and over it's surface.
The routes of travel which have been
used for more than thousand years
are mere trails, and the burdens have
been carried on mule and camel back
since the days of the great Queen OF
| Sheba, who, the traditions of the
| Abyssinians say, was the queen Of
| Ethiopia. The royal line claims de
scent from her and Solomon. Some
years ago the French began construct
| ing a railroad from their port OF
Red sea, toward Abyssinia. The
| Abyssinians permitted this to be ex
| tended into their country and in 1911
! it reached Ads Abeba, the capital
Over this road a large part of the
| hides, coffee, beeswax and ivory, which
pire. are shipped.
Specialists in various fields who
| have visited the country believe that
this is but a small part Of the prod
ucts that could be shipped to the
world, and that the people are enjoy
ing but fraction of the prosperity
that they might enjoy if they devel
| Oped their resources along modern
lines.
As the only African people which
has been able to maintain its indie
| pendence in modern times in a wal
with European power, the Abys
sinians have become rather conceiteC
and are inclined not to recognize the
superiority even of Western civiliza
tion and culture. Their victory wa!
won over the Italians in 1896 at th'
battle of Adowa where the pick of the
italian army was cut to pieces. Th'
Abyssinians have bought large quaint
ties of modern rifles in recent years
and could probably put in the field il
| case of war an army of 250,000 well
equipped soldiers, a large part O
them mounted.

Recover Sanity on peathbed.

Persons who have been deemed hope

most touching regrets for having so
long left his mother alone and unpro-
tected. A woman recovered from a

WHAT is A FoREST2

A forest is a complex community of
living things. 1t is more than a mere
collection of trees, for associated with
the trees are many other plants and
animals, all of which live in close re-
lationshiD with one another.
There is a right and wrong way for
boy scouts TO find out what forest
really is. Many hours may be spent
in schoOlrOOms, libraries and parIOrs
studying about the forest and its in
habitants.
