Little is known OF the history OF

but the columns OF the nave, With

The clerestory belongs to the end of

The church possesses some beau
tiful carving, both inside and out,
and many pieces of exquisite old
stained glass. A celature at the east
end Of the Lady Chapel is unique, as
are two pre-Reformation crucifxes.

as sightseeing is concerned, there is
little to lure one into the interior
country; but II one would see the life
OF old Brazil beyond the wave OF
scenic Improvement. he has only to go
a hundred kilometers or less from
any OF the principal cities.
Here he finds retrogression instead
of progression, and the country seems
practically deserted. but ones imag-
inatlon can easily picture the beauty
and ease and luxury OF the Fazendori-
ans OF little more than two decades
ago, when gay life and proverbial
southern hospitality made the "faz'
enda" the ideal home of the wealthy
planter, and the fields OF coffee, sugar
and rice were tended by care-free ne
groes
In 1889, while her father was visit
ing abroad, Princess Isabel, acting as
regent, abolished slavery by a simple
edict and left the Fazendero without
labor on his vast estates; so now, as
we ride over this beautiful country
with its low, rolling hills covered
with the coarse wild grass and rank
vegetation OF the tropics, we come
upon many stately fazendas with their
walls neutrality-suspicious. gone and
spacious grounds grown thick with
weeds-a tragedy closing the Joyous
life of Empire Days that so many
elderly Brazilians speak of in fond re-
membrance.
The entrance to these magnificent
country places was always between
rows Of royal palms, and these are
now the one remaining mark of state
ly elegance. They seem to stand a
living witness to the downfall of the
Eristocratic Fazendorian.
The dead leaves around their gi-
gantic trunks that tower nearly a
hundred feet above us droop as II to
cover the secret OF dire calamity;
but above them, as an inspiration OF
hope for the future, the fresh, green
leaves reach their long, slender fin
gers toward the azure heavens in an
attitude of supplication for a blessing

Virgin" silently waiting to prove her
goodness and purity.

Of finger prints as a means to pre-
