A Christian nation when our ances tors were floundering in paganism, now as for centuries an African em pire one of the three or four remain ing empires of the . world and the only bit of land on the great conti nent of Africa, with the exception of the, little republic of Liberia, which has not been made a possession or a protectorate of a European power such is Abyssinia, little heard of In the world's affairs, but possessing a history and a promise of future economic importance which make it deserve a different fate. The country owes its independence In large part both directly and indi rectly to its geographical environment. Set upon a great plateau, it is anut- nral. fortress ; and while the natives of most other sections of tropical Africa dwell in enervating jungles or inhos pitable deserts, the people' of Abys sinia, thanks to their altitude, fertile soil and temperate conditions in gen eral, have an Invigorating climate and a land literally of "milk and honey." A situation near Arabia and Palestine, too, has drawn Arabian and Jewish blood to Abyssinia and has given the people of the country a racial advan tage which the African tribes of pure negro blood have not had. But while geographical situation Imd in many ways been an advantage to Abyssinia, it has brought its disad-, vantages also. Without access to the sea for centuries, the Abyssinlans, held to their inland tablelands without contact with the outside world, failed to make the most of their possession of a lofty religion and an early start toward civilization, and have re mained a semibarbaric people. It Is perhaps remarkable that, isolated as they were, they maintained their Chris tianity in any recognizable form. Ob servers marvel at the fact that the principal tenets and observances of the faith are practically pure rather than at the growth beside them of certain superstitions and laxities. Cut; Off From Sea and Nile. As the situation now stands, Abys sinia Is entirely cut off from the sea and the Nile by the colonies of Euro pean powers; Italian Eritrea, French Somallland and British Sotnallland on the north ; Italian Somallland on the east ; British East Africa on the south and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan on the west. But this is. a mere holding of the gates by new keepers; since the rise of Mohammedan power in the Near East the country has been cut off about equally as effectively by various Mohammedan tribes. Those people of Arabian blood were able to take possession of the low desert lands, but on their Invigorating high lands the Abyssinians were, with rare exceptions, masters. Abyssinia is more than twice the size of the German republic and of about the area of California, Orejjon and Nevada together. The country lies in the same latitude as Venezuela and the southern Islands of the Philip pines, well In the' tropics ; but because ofts general high elevation it has, like Mexico, a much cooler and more healthful climate than its proximity to the equator would indicate. These highlands are from 5,000 to 8,000 feet above the sea. Their roll lng prairies are well watered and have a good growth of grass. The climate on these uplands Is superb, and If one desires cooler surroundings there are mountain chains rising from the pla teau in almost all sections of the coun try- Some of thege mountains reach a height of 15,000 feet and are topped by perpetual snow. Irrigation could be practiced in Abyssinia to great ad vantage, but the utilization of the abundant water supply In that way seems never to have entered the minds of the natives. Canyons and Deep Valleys. The great amount of water which runs down from the Abyssinian moun tains has carved gigantic gorges through the tablelands, some of which, in depth at least, rival the Grand canyon of the Colorado. The gorge of the Blue Nile which flows for more than half its length through Abyssinia is from 5,000 to 6,000 feet deep In places. The material washed from this remote chasm has played an important part, incidentally, in the history of the world. Ground into silt and deposited through the centuries and millenniums In the lower valley of the Nile, it produced there a garden spot and made possible the growth of THE TEN VIRGINS RETOLD. At a negro camp meeting In Louis iana the following sermon was deliv ered by a very black old parson wear ing huge spectacles: "Brethren and eistren, de preachifying dls roawnln" will be from de text on de ten vir gins.

Persons who have been deemed hope lessly insane have been known to re gain complete sanity in their last hours of life.

A woman recovered from a profound melancholia, so that she was able to arrange her affairs aud bid her friends farewell with the greatest san ity. Buffalo Express. one of the world's earliest civiliza tions. 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 tem perate zone. Little has been done toward the development of agriculture beyond its primitive stages. The rais ing of cattle, sheep and goats for their milk, flesh and skins is tne more popu lar pursuit. The Abyssinian has been described by one American as "rather an Inde pendent, easy-living, battle-loving, raw-meat-eating, sensual, devil-may-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. AV'hen a person is accused of a crime the first step is to confiscate his property. Decision us to his innocence or guilt can follow in due time. Because prop erty has been unsafe for a 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 commer cial development of Abyssinia 'has been the lack of roads leading up to the high plateau and over its surface. The routes of travel which have been used for more than a 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 1 of Jibuti, Just below the mouth of the Red sea, toward Abyssinia. The Abyssinians ierinltted this to be ex tended Into their country and in 1917 it reached Ad Is Abeba, the capital. Over this road a large part of the hides, coffee, beeswax and Ivory, which constitute the chief exports of the era plre. 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 a 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 inde pendence in modern times in a war with a European power, the Abys sinians have become rather conceited and are inclined not to recognize the superiority even of Western civiliza tion and culture. Their victory was won over the Italians in 1896 at tihe battle of Adowa where the pick of the Italian army was cut to pieces. The Abyssinians have bought large quanti ties of modern rifles in recent years and could probably put In the field in case of war au army of 250,000 well equipped soldiers, a large part of them mounted. Tested the Saw. Mr. Biggs was planning to build a motor shed in his garden, so he bought an expensive saw. He left his office early the next afternoon, with the intention of starting the job.

"That new s:iw I bought isn't worth 2 pence!" he stormed. "Why, the thing wouldn't rut butter!" His small son, narry, looked up in surprise. "Oh, yes, it would, daddy," he ex claimed earnestly.

SCOUT IDEALS I am Interested in the boy scout ! movement because I believe in boys. I have five boys of my own. The boys of today will be the men of tomorrow. The problems of tomorrow will be solved, not by us but by our boys. writes John O. Rockefeller, Jr., in Boys' Life. A well-trained, industrious, high- minded son is the greatest heritage any father can leave. Yet we fa thers are often putting business, poli tics, social work, almost anything else, first and giving our boys only the leavings of time. I believe the boy scout movement is a great, and powerful influence in helping boys to come into their own. This it does by holding up fine Ideals and inspiring boys to attain to them. vou can lead boys, but you cannot drive them. AVhat are the ideals that the boy scout movement holds up to the boys? They are found in the scout oath and scout law. ' On my honor." The boy of honor is trustworthy. He speaks and acts the truth, and is always to be relied upon. He is also loyal and stands by his friends. The boy of honor is chivalrous, cour teous to women and girls; he shows reverence for things that are sacred and holy. He Is likewise a good sportsman, taking his part in sport for sport's sake; just as good a loser as he Is a winner. "On my honor, I will do my best" How the world needs those who will do their best, and who do not seek to see how little work they can do In a day, but how much service they can render. Not restriction in the output of industry, but thrift in conserving the rewards of Industry is their motto. I believe profoundly in a definition of success which I heard many years ago. It is this: "Success consists in doing the common things of life un commonly wel." That is real success. It is within the reach of anyone who is willing to do his best. x "On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country." What countless illustrations of a high sense of duty the late war has given us! "On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey." Obedience, respect for authority for the law of the land, for teachers, parents how sadly lacking such respect often is In modern times, "On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the scout law, to help other people at all times." In render ing service the boy scout is helpful. friendly and kind. Love is the great est thing in the world; service comes next to it. "I came not to be minis tered unto but. to minister," said Christ. The real purpose of all business to be successful must be to render use ful service. "On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the scout law; to help other people at all times ; to keep my self physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight." The desire to keep fit for the supreme moment of conflict when It came helped many a soldier boy In the late war resist temp tations which otherwise would have pressed him sorely. Physical fitness induces to' bravery. Fit mentally means cheerfulness. Fit morally means a clean mind, free from Impure thoughts and desires, which is essen tial to clean living. In somewhat rough but forceful lan guage, which might be paraphrased as follows,' did a father give advice to his son who was just leaving home for college: "So live," said he, "that you can look any blank man in the eye and tell him where to go." To you, scoutmasters and leaders of this great movement, let me say that it is not so much what you say that influences the boys of your troops as what you are and do. ' The power of example, whether for good or evil, cannot be overestimated If your life is not what It should be. unless you are prepared to so change it as to make it a worthy example to your boys, it were far better for you to quit scouting. And you, boys, will never know un til you have become men what an In fluence for good you may have on the men who are your leaders. May you help them as they are seeking to help you, to be always true to the scout oath and scout law. SCOUTS ENTERTAIN SHUT-INS, Following the Good Turn rule of their organization, some boy scouts In Montana recently presented their play. "A Strenuous Afternoon." WHAT SCOUTS ARE DOING. . Some ' Harrisburg boy scouts are making a canoe trip to Sunbury, Pa bearing an official message to the mayor of the city. Boy scouts of Concord, N. II., ar making a unique educational trip, to Washington. They will make stop overs at New York and Philadelphia, and when in Washington will have an interview with the President, who i also the honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America. WHAT IS A FORESTT A forest is a complex community ot living things. It 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 lationship with one another. There is a right and wrong way for boy scouts to find out what a forest really is. Many hours may be spent In schoolrooms, libraries and parlors studying about the forest and Its in habitants. SCOUTS PLANT THOUSAND TREES Scouts of Oswego, N. Y.. have plant ed more than a thousand spruce and pine trees in a vacant space near the city reservoir. Scout are efficient and quick workers, and the whole job of digging and planting was accom plished in less than three hours, the boys working in gangs. Boy scouts of Hartford.

They sleep only half as much as they should and never get properly and thoroughly rested.

Yet it is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man's medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Beither would be tolerated by specialists in children's diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must be prepared with even greater care than Baby's food.

The swell fishes of tropic coast waters have the power of suddenly inflating the body with water or air until they assume an approximately globular form several times the normal diameter, which must be disconcert ing to any enemy about to seize one. The porcupine fish. In addition to doing this, has the body everywhere covered with long, sharp spines which project in every direction tike the quills of a hedgehog. The trunk fishes, in stead of being protected in ithls way", have the body encased in a bony shell, like a turtle. In the East Indies there are rectangular species, but ours are three-cornered, beechnut shaped. They go by various names cuckold, shell fish, ahd so forth, the cowfish being a species with fwo hornlike spines projecting from its forehead. They are excellent eating, cooked in the shell like a lobster. The back muscles of the swell fishes are sometimes eaten, but make a risky delicacy, as there are well-authenticated instances of severe poisoning from eating these fishes. The poison seems to be local ized in the viscera and to permeate the rest of the fish after death. 1 Canada a Good Customer. Canada is the second best customer of the United States. This is proved by trade statistics recently Issued by the Canadian government covering the fiscal year ended March 31. Great Britain is the largest buyer. Canada's Imports from the great republic last year averaged $100 per capita of Can ada's population. Its total imports amounted to $1,240,125,056. This was an increase of $175,000,000 over imports of the previous year, due, ac cording to authorities, to heavy buy ing in the United States.
