A striking picture of the multiplicity of details handled by the old sovereign is given by A. Henry Savage Landor in his acount of a vear's journey across ‘Widest Africa’. Mr. Landor says: ‘“ ‘Everything in Adis Ababa is re- ferred to the emperor. It is quite amazing what an amount of mentel work Menelik must go through daily. While attending to most important political affairs, matters of the most trivial character are brought to him for assent. This is practically what happens every minute of the day at the palace: Menelik, with his head bandaged in a white sash, (a sort of silk handkerchief) and with a cheap French felt hat far back upon his skull, is pondering with some minis- ter over some political problem of great importance—Ilet us say, the pro- jected railway between the sea and Adis Ababa.

The escaped mule is much more important to the em- peror than all the railroads in the world. ““The forelgn representative vainly attempts to drive the emperor again to his throne.
