GREAT PUNCTILIOUSNESS ABOUT SALUTATIONS. Orcctlnna Do pond Upon Hnnk niul Time of Dny How Papulation Is. Di vided No Trafllc In 81avc la Car ried on In Abyatflulu. "Iudet ndrul" This Is not n curse, but Abyssinlun for "Good iiiurnltiKl" Tho words menu literally, "How littve you spent tho nlglftV" Tho peoplo of King Menollk nro very punctilious In their salutations and have a carefully graded scale of greetings according to tho person addressed and the time of day. Thus to an Inferior or to nn Inti mate friend Instead of "Indet ndru" they would soy, "Indet adreh" (pro nounced "lulrccu" cli as in loch). "Good afternoon!" would ho "Indet wntu!" or "watch!" meaning, "How have you spent tho morning?" And "Good evening!" "Indet mashu," or "maHheh," I. e., "IIo.w hnvo you spent the day?" There Is a similar complete scries of good-bys for peoplo separating at differ ent times. Two friends parting In the evening, say one going home and the other going to his club (only they haven't clubs In Abyssinia except wooden ones, perhaps), would Bay to each other, "Bndchna ntlar" ("May you spend tho night well"), which wo might translate, "Good night; bo good." The Abyssinian calendar Is a fearful and wonderful thing. Nearly every day Is a saint's day and Is known by Ita proper name and not by Its date. For Instance, If you nsK an Abyssinian whether a certain thing happened on tho 14th of Hndar (tho equivalent of our Nov. 23) ho will not understand what you mean; but If you say, "Was It on Abuut Aragwo (tho name for that day) that you stole that sheep?" a com prehending smllo will overspread his handsome and Intelligent features. Tho year Is divided Into twelve months of thirty days each and at the end of the year, to make up tho 3(55 days, are added Uvo days, called "Quag me." Each year In succession Is called Matthews, Markos, Lukos, Johannls. Matthews, Markos niul Johannls have each a "Quagme" of live days, but Lu kos, or lenp year, has a "Quagme" of six days. Tho Abyssinian year begins on our Sept 11 and although, dating as wo do from tho birth of Christ, they nro nearly eight years behind us In time Kept 11, 1D00, was In their calendar 1st Maskaram, 1803. Their method of reckoning tho hours of tho day Is nlso peculiar, to our notions. They count tho dny ns beginning at sunrise and not at midnight, as wo do. Thus, our 7 n. in. Is their 1 o'clock dny, nnd our 0 p. in. their 12 o'clock day; 8 p. in. with us would bo 2 o'clock night with them and our 4 a. ui. would be their 10 o'clock night Tho whole population consists of two- tlfths soldiers, two-llfths priests nnd oue-llfth merchants, at least ns far as tho Abysslulnns tho dominant race are concerned. All tho other necessary work 'of tho community Is performed by subject races, llko the Gnllas or Somalia, or domestic slaves mostly prisoners of war captured In the west ern negro provinces. All Abyssluluus except tho very poorest employ slnves for domestic purposes. Theso nro well cared for and arc regarded after a time as members of tho family.' Thcro Is no trade In slaves in Abys sinia, as they can only bo procured by tho king's order, which has to be shown to the governor of the province, who thereupon gives his sanction. The sluves, generally boys or girls tho, for mer for outdoor and the latter for In door work nro purchased from their parents at an average prlco of $10 a heatl, but tho purchaser may never re sell them, though ho may if ho likes glvo them nway. The soldiers lead an easy life nnd havo no work to do except when called out to serve on nn expedi tion. It Is true their pay Is only J8 a year cash Is scarce In Abyssinia but during peaco time they nre billeted on tho Gnllas, a subject race, who are bound to glvo them all they need. In addition to this munificent rate of pay, says the London Express, n paternal government provides the new recruit at tho outset of his military career with a donkey free, nut his rifle the soldier must provide himself, as he must also maintain his donkey. THE POPPY. Golden Illoasonie that Greeted the California l'iouccra. Far out at sea, gleaming sheets of dazzling gold arrested tho gazo of tho early explorers of California. lJla.Ing along tho Pacific coast, embrolderlug the green foothills of tho suow enpped Sierra Madres, transforming acres and acres of treeless plains Into royal cloth of gold, millions of flowers of silky texture and color of gold fascinated tho Spanish discoverers. An eminent botanist, Eachsholtz, at onco classllled the plant, and his followers couferred his name upon this, the only native American papavcr. Dream-like lu beauty, fascinating from sheer loveliness, spreading its soft undulations over tho land, the California poppy bloomed abovo the richest views and arteries of gold the world has ever known, all unsuspected. A Circe, with powers to please, dazzle nnd charm by Its enchantments, while It allures, lulls and mystifies, this flow er of sleep seemed to draw by some occult process from the earth tho elixir of gold, unfolding Its blossoms or gold as beacons proclaiming; "Wo nre blooming above rich mines of gold." There Is never a mystery about the poppy. It Is a weird flower. It Is nl mots sentient, with a life unknown to human kind. "While glory guard with solemn tread, the bivouac of thtr dead," stealthily a sea of goro creeps over the old battlcllclds. Blood red, the popplas In waves and billows hold high carnival abovo the soil that cov ers tho slain. Lord Macaul'ny says of tho battlelleld of Nccrwiudon: "The summer after the battlo the soil, fertil ized by 20,000 dead, broke forth Into millions of blood-red popples." The traveler from St. Cloud to Tlrlemont who saw that vast Held of rich scarlet stretching from I.anden to Ncerwlndon could hardly help fancying that tho figurative description of tho Hebrew prophet was literally accomplished, that "The earth was disclosing her blood nnd refusing to cover Iter slain." Haynrd Taylor, In "The Lands of tho Saracen," says he contemplated, with feelings he could not describe, "the old battlefields of Syrln, densely covered with blood-red popples, blooming In barbaric splendor, gloating on the goro of soldiers slain." However Interesting the poppy mny bo to men of science nnd to lovers of the beautiful, It Is yet more so to tho people of California. This. beautiful, weird, gold-colored flower of gossamer texture belongs to California atone. Nowhere else In tho world has It ever made Its habitat. There It Is naturally so profuso that It Is related ns a fact that, coming on a turn full faco upon a blooming Held of yellow popples, (Inh aling lu tho sunshine, horses have been put to flight, ns from flames of lire. Homo and Flowers. MEDICAL USES OF TUNNELS. i ' Mothers in London llelleve the Foul Air u Metnedy. Quite a new use has been found for tho two-penny tube and tho other un derground railways. In addition lo bo lug methods of quick locomotion, they aro also,' la tho opinion of many trust ing mothers who havo little faith In tho pharmacopeia, Important sanatoria warranted to cure ninny of childhood's maladies. Tunnel air, It seems, Is good for croup, nlso for whooplug cough and various other aliments. Let us hope tho women will not got tho Idea Into their heads that It Is a substltuto for vacclnntlon, says the London Telegraph. A doctor who was traveling on n railway noticed that n woman In tho compartment almost pulled down the window when they entered a tunnel, mid held outside n child whom sho was carrying, so that tho youngster ml'ttht get tho full bene fit of the foul ntmosphure; nnd when ho asked the reason of this extraordi nary performance sho told him that "tunnel air" had bo2n found to be ,a complete euro for tho croup. And the other dny an east end mother wns dis covered by a guard on tho "lnnor cir cle," becnuso sho hnd been told by n herbalist and boucsctter that a sul phurous atmosphere was good for tho whooping cough. Formerly the unfailing specific for the last-mentioned disorder wns n visit to n gns works, but owing, doubtless, to tho ndvauce of science, tho under ground railway has taken tho place of tho gaseous system of pathology. Thus n new and bnncllclnl era opens for tubes ami tunnels, and their sharehold ers. Aii'ilent UIIiioIn Hostelry. Situated four nnd a half miles west of Dnuvcrs, on tho old Goodcnough farm, Is an old Inn, or tavern, that fifty years ago was tho stopping plnco for travelers between Illoomlngton nnd Peoria In tho days when tho stage coach was tho only means of public travel. It was known as tho "Half Way House," and Is nbout a mllo and a half west of Woodruff, toward Lilly. It Is a large, old-fashioned house, In qulto good repair, and Is now owned nnd occupied by Mr. Christ Oesch, for merly of Roberts, Ford County. Horses were changed here, and travelers wero given food. Meals were served for 12' cents, which was also tho prlco of a night's lodging. All travel between Peoria and Illoom lngton wns by stage, unless ono hnd n private vehicle of one's own nnd cared to make bo long a Journey, which was not a light thing In those days, nor was It undertaken without duo preparation and much consideration. This ancient Inn has stood where It now stands for the pnst sixty-live years. Bloomlngton, 111., Pantograph. In the Flowery KliiKdoin. Henpecked huHhnndu are common In China, and Chinese literature abounds with references to them. The following Ih n snmple story: Ten henpecked litis hands resolved to form a society to re sist the Impositions of their wives. The ten wives heard of the plan, and while tho meeting for organization was In progress entered in a body. Nine of the rebellions husbands Incontinently bolt ed, but the tenth one retained his place, quite unmoved by the frightful appari tion. Tho teu ladles, merely smiling contemptuously on the ono man left be hind, returned to their homes, satisfied with the success of their raid. The nine husbands thereupon returned nnd re solved to make tho heroic tenth the president of the society. When they went, however, to Inform him of the honor it was found that he had died of' fright. Favorable Argument. "It looks like a poor automobile," complained the prospective customer. "Why, the thing would break down be fore It ran a mile." "Ves," agreed the dealer, "but look at the advantage of that. You would not have to walk so far to get home as you would If It would run as fur as tho others before blowing up'IJaltlniore American. It is too bud that In this craze to beat records u mun doesn't try to buy his wife handsomer dresses than her fath er er gave her.
