ADDIS ABEBA, Abyeslnla, March 30. MeneUk II, king- of Abyssinia, is dead at the age of 66 years and in the twenty-first year of his relgrn. Prince LidJ Jeassu, grandson of the late monarch, 13 heir to the throne. The king was stricken -with apoplexy KING MENELIK AVho died yesterday. last fall and never recovered his health.

For many weeks his death has been expected. "When he was able no longer to carry on the affairs of state, Ras Tesame. the regent, with the approval of the principal chiefs, took over the reins of government. At the same time Empress Taitou was deprived of all power of interference In the government, and -iZst 5s, of Betty Bradeen's Morning Chat Young women are altogether too Impatient to pass through the change season without danger to health. They tire of heavy underwear, of high boots, of coats which protect the chest and throat, and these things are discarded before the weather warrants a change.

Then they sniffle with a head cold or croak with a bronchial trouble or cough their throats raw through lack of a little common sense. Changes must be made with caution. Intermediate underwear will help some, but it is not the custom to provide it, so an abrupt change is made from garments which cover throat, arms and ankles to the gauzy variety which is worn under a July sun. Youth may stand such abuse for a while, but payment is Inevitable, even if deferred till middl life. It is enough to change to a lighter weight coat or frock and a little later substitute thinner hosiers' for the kind worn in xero weather.

We cannot wholly dispense with heat in our homes, because the sun runs a bit higher, but we can reduce it that wa have learned by experience. But the years teach us little wisdom In the matter of clothing. Already low shoes and thin stockings have become general, and every doctor declares that a woman's ankles are about the most sensitive part of her body. We have been dressing rather sensibly during the winter months, relying- upon long, thick outer garments for protection, rather than heavy underwear. Warm houses make thick clothing unnecessary save outdoors, and there are several convenient pieces of wearing apparel to don for walking and riding purposes.

There are leggings and gaiters, and soft wool Jackets which take up little room in a Jacket, but resist cold successfully. There are cozy overshoes to protect thin soles, and the average wardrobe contains them alL But there is one small article which ought to be more general the woven abdominal band of fine wool mixed with enough cotton to give it body when washed. Many a case of appendicitis might be averted by the perpetual wearing of this band, and its use when a cold has settled in the abdomen is invaluable. When the American soldiers went to the Philippines they were provided with these bandages to ward off cholera, and some of the men have never given up the habit of protecting an important part of the body. The woven variety can be purchased at any large fancy goods establishment for 50 cents, and when worn beneath the corset adds nothing to the size of the body.

Its value in supplying continual warmth to vital organs cannot be overestimated. Women Defend Imprisoned Masher, Women friends of a half dozen alleged "mashers" who were being given a hearing yesterday before Magistrate Saam, of the Northside station, so violently harangued the magistrate and the police officers that they were ejected from the court room, with a threat of arrest.
