. The Emperor Menelik has had a cur-
iotts experience in his efforts to replace
barter by a metallic currency in Abys-
alnla. The Maria Theresa thaler has
for generations been current, but for
want of a smaller coinage salt blocks
became the standard of exchange, and
. resisted an efforts, even of the emper-
or, to replace them by new currency
coined in Paris some years ago. the
salt blocks have given way, but not to
the new coinage, which the people WIII
not touch. The new standard of valu‘es
is the riflle cartridge.
The new Belgian military system, cs-
tablished on the bases of voluntdry cou-
scrlption, has already proved a failure.
Notwithstanding the active efforts of
the enlistment committee, but few voi-
unteers have come forward during the'
last year. and over half of the men who
ohered their services were found upon
examination to be physically unfit for
.mllithry service. According to local
military authorities. the small pay giv-
_en is the main cause of the unpopular-
ity of the service, the soldier getting
only a franc a day.
