REAL RULER OF ABYSSINIA
CoiMin and Wlf# of Emparor Menelik
Cradltad with Holding Rains
of Power.
The cousin and wife of Em
peror Menelik of Abyssinia, Em
press Taoti, exercises enormous pow
er. Since she married Menelik the
empress has seldom lost an opportu
nity of meddling with political af
fairs. As a young girl Taoti wa*
affianced to Menelik, who was thee
a prince of practically no accounl
in Shoa; but one day the old Em
peror Theodore happened to see the
maiden. He promptly fell in love
with her and married her, giving
the disappointed Menelik one of hii
own daughters in marriage as a sort,
of consolation prize. Taoti became
a bride four other times after Theo
dore’s death, and at last Menelik was
persuaded to fulfill his early vows
and wed her. Instead, however, of
being Taoti’s first husband he was
her sixth. By that time her ex
perience in the management of men
was ripe, and Menelik is subject to
her influence and is guided wholly
by her advice.
A BIG PUBLIC TELESCOPE.
The only genuinely public ob
servatory in the world is at Zurich,
Switzerland. It is open every even
ing to the public, and during the
last six months was visited by no
fewer than 25,000 people. The tele
scope, which is mounted in an en
tirely new and ingenious way, is 17
feet six inches long and weighs 14
tons. Its object glass is 12 inches in
diameter. Attached to the instru
ment is a projecting screen upon
which objects in the heavens are
thrown for the benefit of those wait
ing to get a peep through the tele
scope itself.—Popular Mechanics.
WHAT IT WA8.
She was visiting a Chinese restau
rant for the first time, and had or
dered among other things an ome
let. After sampling the succulent
chop suey and the appetizing chow
meiu, she turned her attention to
what seemed a dish of pancakes.
Puzzling over the combination of
ham, onion and other ingredients,
she suddenly exclaimed to her com
panion : “Why, there’s egg in this.”
“Sure; it’s the omelet,” he re
plied.
WHERE THE FACTORY 8CORE8.
Much as I loathe the factory sys
tem, it scores in some respects above
sculleries. In factories, at any rate,
women meet with their kind and
have intercourse with many varieties
of human nature. But, chained up
in sculleries and kitchens, with
tether just long enough to reach the
stocking to be mended and no long
er, their lives are bare and starved as
the picked bones that they put in the
pots.—Loudon Woman Worker.
INTERESTED IN PRIS0N8.
The Maine Federation of Wom
en’s clubs discussed the subject of
prison reform in one of the recent
meetings. It was declared that the
physical condition should be im
proved before the task of improving
the moral was undertaken. In the
Illinois clubwomen’s report it seems
that the creature comforts are all
that they should be.
WOMAN MAKES A FOOL OF MAN.
“From Samson and Odysseui

the ease and frequency with which *
woman makes a fool of a man.” H«
goes on to say that woman was one*
man’s beast of burden, and now sh*
controls bim, and that he is an “easj
mark to her machinations.”

BENEFITED BY THE CHANGE
RIm of Now Party In Turkey of Mo
ment to Constantinople
Girl*’ College.
Dr. Mary Mills Patrick is the
president of the Girls’ college in
Constantinople, which has, it is
said, been materially benefited by
the Turkish revolution. Ever since
additional land was acquired for the
extension of the college Dr. Patrick
has been struggling to get the gov
ernment to grant title deeds, but not
until the movement among the
Young Turks brought about a
change in conditions did she succeed.
The college property is situated on
the Bosporus, is accessible to the city
and has one of the most magnificent
views in the vicinity of Constanti
nople. The college is looked upon
as the best school for girls in Tur
key and many of the liberal Turks
send their daughters there. Dr. Pat
rick is a native of Canterbury, N.
H., and after her graduation from
Lyons college, Iowa, she went
abroad, taking special courses at
Heidelberg, Zurich, Leipzig, Berlin
and Bern.
WA8TING COAL.
Prof. Henry E. Armstrong of tbe
London Central Technical college,
in an address recently, sounded a
warning against the wasteful meth
ods now in use in connection with
the consumption of coal. “No com
ment is provoked,” he said, “by the
fact that ocean giants such as the
Lusitania and the Mauretania need
feeding daily with some thousand or
more tons of coal apiece on their
voyages across the Atlantic. Such
extravagance is gloried in as a great
engineering achievement, and not
anathematized as it should be if we
were in any way mindful of the in
terests of posterity.”
MAN’S DAILY FIGHT.
Modern life, says a recent medical
writer, is quite as effective as war
in killing off men. The increased
death rate among business men in
our cities has generally been various
ly attributed to unhygienic feeding,
exposure to weather, nervous strain
and so on. These are probably no
more potent to-day than they have
always been. The death rate among
men has always been higher than
with the other sex, but in the pres
ent day city life seems to be replac
ing war as a destroyer, doubtless
because of its unwholesome environ
ment.
PRETTY NAMES FOR GIRLS.
Quaint and unusual Christian
names were a short time ago a fad
in smart society abroad and the old
fashioned flower garden was ran
sacked in order to provide girl ba
bies with unusual cognomens. The
craze reached its height in diamond
jubilee year, and it was then that
Lady Angela Forbes, the youngest
of that beautiful group of sisters
headed by Lady Warwick, christened
her eldest child Marigold. Fir*
years later followed another little
daughter, on whom was bestowed the
noble and Roman name of Flavia. ;

WALK IF YOU WOULD BE THIN.
It is evident that the thin woman
walks too much and the fat woman
too little. If the walking is not pos
sible for the fat woman she may at
least stand while the thin woman
should Bit at every opportunity, even
in elevators. After all, it is not ea«y
to change one’s nature and fat or
thin, it is a question of temperament
as much as anything else.
A CONTRADICTION.
"Judge,” said the prisoner, “I
have seen better days. I have never
before even been threatened with ar
rest.”
“Your second assertion,” answered
bis honor, "contradicts the first. It
shows you have never been connected
with a big corporation or owned a
BMtos ear."—Washington Star.
