COUNTESS sCHIMMELMAN AND HER YACHT, THE DUEN

The guest to whom the question
was put doubted the statement and
the Countess said she had been skep-
tical as to its truth from what she had
seen during the few hours she had
been in Chicago. "Workingmen in
England and the United States are SO
much better provided for than those
on the continent" said the Countess,
as she shook her head.
Her work in evangelical and practi-
cal-teaching the precepts of religion
and at the same time looking after
temporal wants as best she can.
One of her objects in visiting the
great lakes is to inspect lands in Can
ada on Lake Superior, where she is
anxious to establish colony for the
poor.
The Countess Adeline Schimmel-
man is member of Danish noble
family. Until taking up missionary
work among sailors she was favorite
at the courts of Copenhagen and Ber-
lin. When she decided to help the
unfortunate many of the wealthy and
titled families of Europe came to her
assistance, for she is not wealthy. In
her yacht she has visited nearly all of
the large seaports of the world in the
last three years. During the summer
she secures chairs and holds services

CurIou. Transference of Heat.

A correspondent of Nature, who is
associated with the observatory at
Toulouse, calls attention to q very
singular phenomenon, the scientific
explanation of which he seeks. Take
bar of iron in the hand by one end
and plunge the other end in the fire,
heating it strongly, but not so much
that the hand cannot retain its hold.
Then plunge the heated end in pail
of cold water. Immediately the end
held in the hand becomes SO hot that
it is impossible to retain it in the fin
gers. This phenomenon, said by the
correspondent to be familiar to work
men in iron, is ascribed by them to
some repellant action which they
suppose the sudden cold to exert
upon the heat contained in the iron,
which is thus driven to the opposite
extremity.

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 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-
tion. 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.

sattieships and Men-of-War.

All battleships are men-ofw ar, but
all men-of-war are not battleships. A
battleship is the largest and most
powerful type of man-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 a
battleship. From the earliest times a
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 gem
der to inanimate things, a custom
which still obtains in the German Ian
guage, where table is masculine and
fork is feminine. A man -of-war is
q ship, and therefore "she." 1t is
also probable that the "man" in mar
of-war does not mean a person of the
male gender. One of the old defni-
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.

A Winter SOlace.

With the drearin ess and desolation
OF cold and rainy nights in winter
comes the comfortable thought of
brightly lighted sitting rooms, with
hearth fires and good books. There
is nothing more certain to make the
heart swell with cheerfulness than
this same combination. After long
day at work, when the wind is howl
ing outside and the rain is splashing
against the windows, the flicker of the
grate-fire is magnetic. One can
scarcely force himself to get up and
away from it, and a book adds to the
attraction. 1t is the time when the
stay at home enjoys himself to the
fullest.

Weekly, because of his conduct at San
Juan Hill, where, under heavy fire,
fifty feet in advance of his comrades,
he waved aloft two flags, the stars and
stripes of the Tenth and the Third
Cavalry.
This hero did not burst upon his
commanding officers as first dis
tinguished for gallantry in the war
with Spain. He had long before won
his laurels, having, during his thirty
years service in the army, actively
participated in six separate campaigns,
against the Cheyennes, Kiowas, Ara
pahoes, Comanches, Apaches, Utes. in
Colorado, Kansas, Texas, and New
Mexico. :.
Sergeant Berry, who, after the man
ner of real heroes, is modest of his
own achievements, in speaking of his
action at San Juan Hill, where he sue
cessfully planted the colors of his own
regiment upon the works from which
the Sraniards were even then running
away, said:
"Where did my courage come from?
1t came from our war chief, Captain
Ayres. When L saw him leading his
men, waving his hat in the air, shout
ing out like a trumpet to the soldiers
to follow, took the two sets of colors
and ran, calling as I ran: Dress on
the colors, boys! Dress on the
colorsp"
During the recent peace celebration
in Philadelphia, as this sable hero,
bearing the tattered battle flags he had
carried so gallantly at Las Guasimas,
San Juan, and Santiago, marched in
the procession with the Tenth Cavalry,
he was pelted with roses from the bal
comics and stands crowded with peo-
pie.
The large picture, taken from Har-
per's Weekly. shows Sergeant Berry
standing near Captain Ayres's tent at
Huntsville, Alabama. In his left hand
he holds his regimental national colors,
while in his right is the regimental
flag ribboned by the Spanish bullets
in the three great land battles of the
Spanish American war.

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 -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 OF 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 handicap.

Mrs. Abbott is just old enough to

dents of Clinton County and lived at

where she received high-school edu-
cation. Then she took normal course
at Ypsilanti, devoting her main atten-
tion to shorthand work. Shortly after
this she secured position as stenog-
rapher with Marshall Field g. 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.

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 a similar
way. But, although there is nothing
really historical about the chateau, it
has at least one curious reminiscence.
It was at Villeneuve pEtang 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 ph@ton 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.
