The French Government is propos ing to sell for building purposes the cnateau and park of Villeneuve l'Etang, 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 bo 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 l'Etang that Napoleon 111. snatched a brief and almost clandestine honeymoon with the Empress Eugenie. With absolute secrecy the chateau was got ready, and in the eveuing of the wedding the Emperor took his bride thither in a phseton which he drove himself. So quietly was the whole thing man aged, indeed, that most of the in habitauts of Saint Cloud had no idea that their imperial master and mis tress had flown.—London Chronicle. TUMOR EXPELLED.

X OOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Qeorge Berry, Troop D, Tenth Cav alry, with the rank of First Sergeant, was retired at Camp Forse, Huntsville, Alabama, November 1, 1898. That the man is alive to-day seems nothing short of a miracle, says Harper's k! • if COLOR-SERGEANT GEORGE BERRY, TROOP D, TENTH U. S. CAVALRY. (He carried the colors of the Tenth and Third Cavalry In the charge at San Juan Hill Santiago.) 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 suc cessfully planted the colors of his own regiment upon the works from which the Spaniards were even then running away, said: "Where did my courage come from? It came from our 'war chief,' Captain Ayres. When I saw him leading his men, waving his hat in the air, shout ing out like a trumpet to the soldiers tc follow, I took the two sets of colors and ran, calling as Iran: 'Dross ou the colors, boys! Dress on the colors!'" During the recent peace celebration in Philadelphia, as this sable hero, bearing the tattered battle flags he had carried so gallantly at Las Gaasimas, San Juan, and Santiago, marched in the procession with the Tenth Cavalry, he was pelted with roses from the bal conies and stands crowded with peo ple. 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. Hebrew Flaga Flyiuj* in New York* One of the results of the Zionist Congress at Basle is the reappearance of the Hebrew flag in Now York City. At the meeting-place of the delegates a flag was hoisted which had two blue stripes on a white field, and between these the six-pointed star, or sign of David. It was explained at that time % I THE FLAG OF THE HEBBEWS. that a similar flag was used as the standard of the Hebrews in the days of the Hebrew Nation. Pictures and descriptions of the flag came to the United States with accounts of the proceedings of the congress, and dwellerß in the New York Qhetto be gan to look for Hebrew flags. The consequence was that the manufactur ers turned out a quantity, for which f'qre was ready sale. The deepest coal mine in the world is the Lambert, in Belgium. One can ilssoend 3190 feet. WOMAN AS PUBLIC PROSECUTOR. Mrs. Abbott, of Michigan, la First to Hold This Office. By a majority of four Totes, on a re count, Merrie Hoover Abbott,the wife of Charles F. Abbott,of West Branch, Mich., has leaped into prominence. Mrs. Abbott holds a very peculiar posi tion, as she is the only woman in Michigan ever elected to a constitu tional office, and the first to hold the office of Countj Proseouting Attorney in the United States. Mrs. Abbott is just old enough to ▼ote. Her parents were pioneer resi dents of Clinton County and lived at St. Johns, where she was born and where she received a high-school edu cation. Then she took a normal course at Ypsilauti, devoting her main atten tion to shorthand work. Shortly after this she secured a position as stenog rapher with Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago. In the early '9os 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 MRS. MERRIE HOOVER JkBBOTT. 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. It 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 a free silverits, 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 lic places throughout the county, and no amount of bad weather or wretched roads could prevent her filling 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 a 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 a tie, but au unofficial re count of West Branch Township gave her a majority of four. Mrs. Abbott makes few intimate friends among women, as she has ne glected the social set of West Branch and does not attend its functions. Among the womenkind the fact that she is a "lady practitioner" is looked upon as a handicap. The eleven men who are the leaders in the Chicago Fire Department are on the roll of honor for valiant service rendered at the great fire of October 10. 1871. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCC SCO I MISSIONARY CRUISE OF | | I DANISH COUNTESS. § Soooooooooooooooooooooooco 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 Qreat Lakes in her own yaeht is a woman who can take her place on the list. She is the Countess Schimmelman, from Denmark. She is not precisely a 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, elie heard nothing but bad of America, but since arriving here she finds the truth of the American conviction that this is a pretty good country to live in after all. At home she was the Queen's 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 a ship, and in this cruised about the Baltic iu 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 a 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 well 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 Wel land Canal, she is making a 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 liuir, bine eyes and a clear, clean-cut profile. She presents the appearance of n German matron who has several winters to see before she turns forty, writes a reporter who visited her on her queer craft at Chicago. A very alight 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 a guest who was morethan likely trying to answer some question the Countess had asked about the suffering in Chicago among the poor. "I like Americans/'' she said; "you have 110 caste and the poorest laboring man is a gentleman. I have great hopes for success in Chicago. The sailors I have spoken with and the men on the docks tell me the condi tion of the men in Chicago is not as bad as I have been led to believe." The Countess picked up Walter WyckoßTs book, "The Workers," from her table. "This is all the source of my information as to the poor of Chicago at present," she said, "but is it true you have 200,000 men unemployed here every winter?" COUNTESS BCHIMMELMAN AND HER YACHT, THE DCEX. 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 inspeot lands in Can ada on Lake Superior, where she is anxious to establish a colony for the poor. The Countess Adeline Schimmel man is a member of a Danish noble family. Until taking up missionary work among sailors she was a 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 yaoht 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 on the deck of her boat. In winter sbe is obliged togo to a ball. SMALLEST CHURCH IN ENCLAND. When Is Its Counterpart In America?"* Only Thirty Penoni. Where is the smallest church in America? It would be interesting to know. The smallest church in Eng land has been discovered at Lulling- LCLLINGTON CHURCH, WHICH CLAIMS TO BE THE SMALLEST IN ENGLAND. ton, in Sussex. The village itself is on so small a scale that the miniature church, some sixteen feet square, is quite large enough to supply its needs. Built in inediieval times upon a slight eminence within a short distance of Alfriston, famous for its sixteenth cen tury hostelry, the church is reached by a 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, aud 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 tliirly worshipers, can be gathered from a 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. The Queerest Home In the World. The accompanying picture is a repro duction from the Australian of a gum ONE OF THE STBANGEST OF DWELLINGS. tre« dwelling in the township of Wynnstay, South ftippsland, Austra lia, about five miles from Mirboo. It stands in the center of what is known as the raspberry country, and accom modates five persons. It consists of tvo stories, the upper one being reached by a regular stairway. Curious Transference of Heat. A correspondent of Nature, who is associated with the observatory at Toulouse, calls attention to a very singular phenomenon, the scientific explanation of which he seeks. Take a 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 a 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 asoribed by them to some repellant action whioh they suppose the sudden cold to exert upon the heat contained in the iron, which is thus driven to the opposite extremity. The novelist who occasionally lec tures is in great danger of degenerat ing into a lecturer who occasionally wiites novels. Battleships and Meu-of-War. All battleships are men-of-war, bat all men-of-war are not battleships. A battleship is the largest and most powerful type of a 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 eastern which arbitrarily applies gen der to inanimate things, a custom whioh still obtains in the German lan guage, where a table is masculine and a fork is feminine. A man-of-war is a ship, and therefore "she." It is also probable that the"man" in man of-war does not mean a person of the male gender. One of the old defini tions of the word "man" is simply a person, a being, without regard to sex. In that sense it is sometimes used to day. Mankind includes women as well as men. The first part of the word "woman" is merely an adjective, designating a certain physical form of man. A Winter Solace. With the dreariness and desolation of cold and rainy nights in winter oomes 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 a long day at work, when the wind is howl ing outside and the rain is splashing against the windows, the fiicker 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. It is the time when the stay-at-home enjoys himself to the fullest. Don't Mind the Weather.
