city roams a double of Edward Hef-

Heffern was sent to the brideweli

court of domestic relations for nom

Heffern raced into the court and dash

and slow. A joke has to be as broad
as a beam before a Sussex man can
see 1t. The fairy stories of the Celts
who hewed their wood and drew their
water were beyond their imagination,
though in some parts the curious word
'pharisee" is used as substitute for
fairy, which shows some knowledge
Of the little people. The county,
however, abounds in ghost stories,
which seems strange at first sight, as
the people are SO little ethereal while
they are walking about among their
neighbors; but on examination tbs
very ghosts have q substantial air,
with a something uncanny added, and
many of them are practical enough in
their doings. Perhaps it is not alto
gether fanciful to see reflected in the
churches, which are also their princi-
pal public buildings, the monumental
but solid and enduring qualities of the
people of the land The most preya-
lent style is the early English. But
owing to scarcity OF local stone, the
materials had to be brought over from
Caen, and, owing to their want of i'm
agination, the churches are seldom re-
markable for delicate carving, or for
clustered columns and other beauties
of stonework; but many of them make
up for this lack by the nobility of
their proportions. A remarkably large
number of the churches of Sussex date
In the earliest part Of their structure
from the two hundred and fifty years
following the preaching of ST. Wilfred.
The most important, as we'll as the
earliest, of these is that of the ancient
port of BOSNIAN, in the extreme west
of the county. 1t is known that as
early as A. D. $50 Eappa, monk, had
ecclesiastical charge of this parish. The
building is upon the site of a Roman
temple Some Roman bricks which
are to be seen in the walls must have
been dug up near by and put in theiy
present place at. a later date.

creditable showing in the score.
Normal has bunch of clever. fast
players, but displayed very poor
