ton, in Sussex. The village itself is
on so small scale that the miniature
church, some sixteen feet square, is
quite large enough to supply its needs.
Built in medieval times upon slight
eminence within a short distance Of
Alfriston, famous for its sixteenth CEN
tury hostelry, the church is reached
by path which passes through charm
ing scenery. The present structure
stands upon the site of the chancel of
the building destroyed during the
Cromwellian struggles, and at the
same time the church records disap-
peared, so that even the name of the
patron saint is not now known. Some
idea of the diminutive appearance of
the building, which accommodates
only about thirty worshipers, can be
gathered from glance at our illustra-
ton. Inside the small sanctuary the
large pulpit completely dwarfs the
scanty sitting accommodation. The
belfry is more for ornament than use,
and the birds are allowed to retain un
disputed possession.

All battleships are men-of-war, but
all men-of-war are not battleships. A
battleship is the largest and most
powerful type of -of-war. A
heavily armored, sea-going man-of-
war, carrying guns of large calibre
and designed primarily for fighting
the largest ships of the enemy, is
battleship. From the earliest times
ship has been spoken of in the femi-
nine gender. This is probably some
survival of that old Gothic or Teutonic
custom which arbitrarily applies gen
der to inanimate things, custom
which still obtains in the German Ian
guage, where table is masculine and
a fork is feminine. A an-of-war is
ship, and therefore "she." It is
also probable that the "man" in mar
of-war does not mean person of the
male gender. One of the old defini-
tions of the word "man" is simply a
person, being, without regard to sex.
In that sense it is sometimes used to-
day. Mankind includes women as
we'll as men. The first part of the
word woman" is merely an adjective,
designating certain physical form of
man.

Where Napoleon Took His Bride.

The French Government is propos-
ing to sell for building purposes the
chateau and park of Villeneuve
PEtang, near Saint Cloud The
Parisians do not like the idea, since
they fear that other and more inter
esting portions of the beautifully
wooded country which surrounds
Paris may be dealt with in similar
way But, although there is nothing
really historical about the chateau, it
has at least one curious reminiscence.
1t was at Villeneuve lEtang that
Napoleon III. snatched brief and
almost clandestine honeymoon with
the Empress Eugene. With absolute
secrecy the chateau was got ready,
and in the evening of the wedding
the Emperor took his bride thither
in pheton which he drove himself.
So quietly was the whole thing man
aged. indeed, that most of the in
habitants of Saint Cloud had no idea
that their imperial master and mis-
tress had fown.-London Chronicle

Her first case

practice last summer. Her first case
was in the Circuit Court against the
Michigan Central Railroad Company,
and she will have opportunity to ap-
pear in the Supreme Court, as she has
taken the case to that tribunal.
1t was not Mrs. Abbott's personal
desire that led her into the arena of
politics. Ogemaw County is naturally
Republican by an overwhelming ma
jority. Mrs. Abbott was known to be
free silverite. and finally, after the
persistent urging of the Democratic
Union n-Free-Silver County Committee,
she was induced to accept the nomi-
nation for the Office to which she has
been elected. Her campaign only
lasted three weeks, but she conducted
it personally, speaking in all the pub
lie places throughout the county, and
no amount of bad weather or wretched
roads could prevent her filing engage
ments. While her platform was that
of the party which nominated her, she
added to it some planks of her own,
one of which was conservatism on the
woman's suffrage question.
AS public speaker she was bright,
witty and forceful, controlling her
audience entirely by her natural elo-
quence and sympathetic voice.
When the first returns came in the
vote was tie, but an unofficial re-
count of West Branch Township gave
her majority of four.
Mrs. Abbott makes few intimate
friends among women, as she has ne
elected the social set of West Branch
and does not attend its functions.
Among the womenkind the fact that
she is ''lady practitioner" is looked
upon as o handicap.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney 81 Co.. Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the

Mrs. Abbott is just old enough to
vote. Her parents were pioneer resi-
dents of Clinton County and lived at
st. Johns, where she was born and
where she received high-school edu-
cation. Then she took normal course
at Ypsilanti, devoting her main atten-
ton to shorthand work. Shortly after
this she secured a position as stenog-
rapher with Marshall Field & Co., of
Chicago. In the early '90s she met
Charles F. Abbott. and they were mar
ried at West Branch in 1894, after
which they took the law course at the
University of Michigan together.
Having finished her law course she
returned to West Branch and began

MISSIONARY CRUISE OF
4 DANISH COUNTESS. +;

From Europe there have come to
the United States at various times
strange, weird persons, some bent on
errands of philanthropy and others
from motives of curiosity. Sailing
around the Great Lakes in her own
yacht is a woman who can take her
place on the list. She is the Countess
Schimmelman, from Denmark. She
is not precisely reformer, though
she may see many things that she
would like to have changed, but
wherever she is she certainly does
good. Over in Denmark, she says,
che heard nothing but bad of America,
but since arriving here she finds the
truth of the American conviction that
this is pretty good country to live
in after ALL
At home she was the Queens favor
ite, and she passed the first thirty
years of her life exclusively at court.
Then she got restless and wanted to
see the wide, wide world, and try to
alleviate some of the misery which she
vaguely understood existed. She
sold her property and bought ship,
and in this cruised about the Baltic in
the summer and in Southern seas in
the winter. She established coffee
houses and did good in many little
ways. OF recent years she stayed in
the cities in the winter, and turned
her ship for the time into home
for the poor boys who wanted to fol-
low the sea.
Three years ago she bought the
yacht Duen, or Dove, of Prince
Waldemar, and by this time, her work
becoming we'll known among the mem
bers of royalty, they contributed
largely in aid of her enterprise. Her
brothers, however, caused her arrest
once and put her in an asylum. Upon
her release she resumed her labors.
Now she has come over to America in
her yacht, and, having passed up the
st. Lawrence, and through the We'll
land Canal, she is making tour of the
Upper Lakes with her three adopted
sons, whom she brought over with her.
She intends to visit her countrymen
in the Northwest, so that when she
returns home she will know whether
to advise the thousands there who
want to change their homes to come to
to our promised land.
The Countess speaks English with
ease. She is of medium height, has
brown hair, blue eyes and a clear,
clean-cut profile. She presents the
of German matron who
has several winters to see before she
turns forty, writes . reporter who
visited her on her queer craft at
Chicago. A very slight cap did not
hide the waves of soft brown hair that
fell about her forehead. When she
did not talk in her slight foreign ac-
cent she smiled as she listened to
guest who was more than likely trying
to answer some question the Countess
had asked about the suffering in
Chicago among the poor.
II like Americans" she said; "you
have NO caste and the poorest laboring
man is gentleman. 1 have great
hopes for success in Chicago. The
sailors l have spoken with and the
men on the docks tell me the condi
ton of the men in Chicago is not as
bad as 1 have been led to believe"
The Countess picked up Walter
Wyckof's book, ''The Workers"
from her table. ''Thls is all the
source Of my information as to the
poor of Chicago at present." she said,
''but is it true you have 10000 men
here every winter?"
