A French physician who visited tho Abyssinian king Monelok's camp, In February, writes that Menelok has ex pressed sorrow at tho great bloodshed resulting from tho war. The Shoan army was in excellent condition at that timo and had been placed under strict discipline, an unusual thing for such troops. They- wero reported also to havo acquired a certain dignity of char acter and bearing, which had previous ly been entirely wanting. Old Mene lek expressed no doubt as to tho final outcome of tho war. but Btated that he hated the bloodshed, and had only acted on tho defensive. Ho scarcely had any idea or the great slaughter of Italian troops which his soldiers would 1 so soon make. Woulil Not Kt tlio Flair. An Englishman In Washington at dinner declined to eat an ice Irozen in the shape and colors, pf tho American flag. This he did becauso he held it to be bad form to absorb, the national em blem. Tho Incident was significant as showing tho distinction and differ ence between tho British Idea of patri otism and our own. Englishmen lift their hats when their flag is carrlod past, and rise when the national an them is played in theaters and music halls. No true Briton, in trado or out of It, would uso tho flag nf his country for advertising purposos. Boston Sat urday Evening Gazette. Aro Grttlnp Srnrrr.
