A SPORTING TRIP THROUGH ABYSSINIA 



brought to me, but found on inspection that its illus- 

 trations consisted of a small coloured print stuck inside 

 the cover. 



There is one man in the market who makes church 

 brass- work, and sometimes has some old pieces for 

 sale ; from him I got an incense-burner, a bell, a 

 processional cross, and a crutch for the head of the 

 wands which the priests carry. But curios are hard to 

 find, as directly anything good is for sale it is snapped 

 up by one or other of the foreign embassies. 



An Officer's Shield.
