Let us settle ourselves for a few days in Antwerp and make pension rates at 6 o francs a day ($3.70 or $1.40)

Phere is a deal to amnse in Antwerp about the street-, on the quay and in the intique shops But there are more in:por tant sizhts

If we happen to be here on a Sunday, let us go to service in the cathedral, and there. peacefully resting under whe Gothic arches, we can Jisten to the organ and the ch and the chimes pe “us ring- it ce i-ladened atmosphere fn t! ed church quiets our trave ‘ and we watch as though in a dream the townspeople, who come in to tell a few beads, or bring a votive ot the

ing the church we

i tk nded. The rest of the day suppose we spend at the Musemmm. On Sundays and Thursdays

it is free, as is also the Musee Plantin, which is, perhaps, the most interesting of things to see in Antwerp. It is well worth the fee of 1 franc (20 cents), pro

vided we are not for on a free day.

It is searcely worth while to pay the entrance fee for the Hotel de Ville. Its exterior is imposing, but the interior is not sufficiently interesting.

‘tunate in being tuere

The Steen, formery part of the Castle of Antwerp, is of interest as the séat of the Spanish Inquisition; but there are

many extra centimes to be given for side

shows, and unless we happen to visit it on a free day our curfosity will cost us about 2 francs (40 cents).

We do not see in Antwerp the peasant costumes nor picturesque bits of foreign life which we left behind in Holland, but we have, instead, tortuous, ill-paved streets, and irregular squares, while the peasant women, ashamed of their native gold head-dresses and frilled caps, at- tempt to hide their characteristic head coverings wiith home creations of modern tawdry bonnets,

Though one likes without the same that we had at The

Antwerp, it is left hesitation in leaving Hague or Dortrecht, for, though historically it appeals to us, picturesqucly we can find better things,

Therefore we take a trip of two hours to Ghent, which costs 3 francs 90 cen- times (78 cents), and there we get & roora and our meals for 5 franes ($1) a di ¥.

The great attraction in possibility of stepping from the friction of our nineteenth century surrouncings into the peace of a thirteenth ccntury nunnery.

When once the gates of the Beguinage, this settlement of Sisters, is closed upon us, We are separated by a gulf of centur- ies froin the troubles of our modern life. The brick paved streets lead us between rows of tiny houses, over the docrs of which preside the different patron saints

As the sun is going down we enter the chapel, and in the fading light that fil- ters through the windows we listen to the chanting of vespers

Ghent is the

The Sisters all come to service, and wille kneeling on the stone flagging they throw over their bowed heads a

white linen cloth

‘These devout, motionless bodies grow more and more dim, as the glow of the setting sun fades from the sky, while the caundics on the altar gleam more

brightly—like guiding stars in the fast gathering gloom.

Still the Sisters Kneel, and the white draperies covering their formless bodies seem to become a congregation of spirits, After the benediction, with noiseless tread, and speaking no word to anyone, the silent worshippers pass from the

chapel to their own homes. If we are inxious to inspect the lace, the making € which is the occupation of the convent, we can, perhaps, get admission to a Sis- ter’s house, and, sitting in her immacu- late kitchen, she will show us with pride her handiwork.

It is not often in gium, that we see taking the

Holland, nor in Bel- a ruin, but here, by tram for 3 cents, we reach the rumbling Abbey of St. Bavon.

This “ds ibbey, dating back from the ‘ighth century, with the remains of fine frescoes, and ancient tombs hewn in sandstone, is well worth the admission f '¢ frane (10 cents).

Ilaving spenta day and a night in Ghent, we go on to Bruges. The trip francs 80 centimes (56 cents), and we can be comfortable for a couple of jays at the same rate we paid at Ghent.

Here let us see the picture gallery, franc, and also pay 1 franc (20 cents) to go through the Hospital of St. John.

This last is the interesting build- ing to be seen in Bruges, and the pic- tures by Hans Memling will amply repay us for the visit, despite the fact that the

hospital itself? is worth our time and money. A Sister of Charity takes us around

the wards, and we see the care with which the patients are treated and all the modern appliances of the sick room, not- withstanding the mediaeval aspect of both exterior and interior of the hospftal. There are several private collections of victures and ‘‘objets de vertu,’’ but as tach one costs an extra '¢ franc, I think we would prefer to use this same money snatrip to Blankenberghe, a wate ring place near by.

Let us buy a take a seat on the

third-class ticket and roof of the car, where

we get a good view and an excellent idea af the Belgian country.

Blankenberghe is not especially pretty, but it is a typical watering-place, and more accessible for us than Ostende, of which it is a counterpart. The trip from Bruges takes scarcely an hour, and half a day will give us time to see all we want.

If we are inclined to views and think it worth our while, we can climb the elfry at Bruges, but it will cost 75 cen- times (15 cents).

Let us now go on to Brussels—5 franes 20 centimes ($1.05) will pay for a second- tlass ticket, and we can find a comforta- sle pension for our few days’ sojourn.

DEAD MEN" S SHOES.

The Pecullar Customs and Beliefs Concern- ing Them That Exist in the Old World. ‘*Dead men’s shoes’’ is a common ex-

pression, but means much in many parts

of the Old World, where the boots of the dead are accorded much importance. In Scotland, in the northern parts of

Journal,

England, in Scandinavia, as well as in Hungary, Croatia and Roumania, the utmost care is taken among tie lower

classes that each corpse is provided with a pair of good shoes before being laid If the dead person hap- pens to be a tramp and to have been found dead bare-footed, there will always be some charitable soul to fairnish a pair of good shoes for interment along with the corpse.

An inspector of police in Seotland has been known to purchase of his own ac- cord a new pair of boots and to place them in the grave, re-opened for the pur- pose, of a murdered stranger, who had been inadvertently interred barefooted the day before.

This practice, which likewise prevails among the Tsiganes, as well as in many parts of Asia, is attributable to the belief that unless the dead are well shod when buried thelr ghosts come back to haunt the locality where they breathed thelr last in search of a pair of boots.

The shoes are popularly supposed to be needed to pass in comfort and safety the broad plains which the departed soul must traverse before it can reach Para- dise. Among some nations these plains are declared to be covered with furzes, thorns and morass, while other races say

that they consist of burning sands. These plains of suffering are popularly credited with forming a sort of ante-

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND HORSES, C.

Boyer, in Farmers Advocate.)

(F.G

Horse breeding here is in a vory de pressed state. Few mares have been bred curing the last three years. There are signs of a more hopeful feeling among farmers. As the stock of horses in the province is diminishing muc h faster than the increase by foals, a scarcity of horses of ail sorts in the near future is a certain result. Our horzes are well and favor- ably known in the New England States, both as drivers end d-aft animale, and are taken to the West Indies and Bermuda Many of our best mares have been sbip- ped, but large numbers of gool, sound, well built mares are still available for

breeding either carriage or draft stock. My opinion is that large mares give the best results in breeding carriage horses, and the very largest are essential as the dams of such draft horses as city treffic de- mands,

The Province is well supplied with cart stallions of the Clydsdale breed. Some of these were imported direct from Scotland, otbers were bred bere, their dams being imported Clydsdale mares of good quality. One of there imported mares is ac laughter of the famous “McGregor.” She isa ‘hard one to beat anywhere,

Standard-bred statlions are here, too, in abundance. and gool ones at that: some ef them with low-down and pedi- greed to some of the most celebrated trot- ting stock. ° Webhave bred here a con- siderable number of very fast trotters, but we have not even one thoroughbred sta!- lion in the Province, an1 itis a great many years since astallion of that breed has been in use here. This is the more remarkable as we trace a great deal cf the good qualities of our carriage horses to the blood of thoroughbred stallions which were used on the Island in years Jong past. There is one good Kaglish-bred carriage stallion in use; be was imported by Robert Beith, Bowmanville, Ont., and owned by an Jsland firm. As .he..3. wet l6s Cho ter, our farmers have little use for sim. We need hackney and thoroughbred stallions of the best quality. But perhaps the first thing required is the education of our breeders of carriage, roadster and saddle Lorses asto the merits of hackney and thoroughbred stallions as sires of valu- able stock, for if there was a demand for stallions of those breeds there is plenty ef enterprise to provide the needed animals. | Werequire to study the demands of | British fashion in horses as in other ar- ticles of farm produce. Evidently, there is a tendency in the larger American c'ties to copy English ways in horse manner, #0 we may catch both markets by pleasing the British buyer. Last summer an Eng- lish dealer in horses su‘ted for the saddle or cavalry purposes visited this Province After inspecting a large number of horses at our principal centres fcr the horse trade, he said he did not see any he want- ed, ard left without buying.

A STARVED MIND.

Whyws Girl Shook Her Head When Dick- ens Was Mentioned.

It is a fact that the children who have had in abundance the old nursery tales, who have worn out numerous copies of Mother Goose, to whom Christmas and birthdays mean new books, of rhyme and

story, being led thence by gradual steps to the uplands of history, poetry, and ro-

mance, seldom: go down before the malig- nancy of the “blood and thunder’’ so

freely offered them. It is the starved childhood that seizes and feeds upon these.

A girl of 12 years old had occasion to eall at the home of a lady who had be- friended her. Scattered about the floor of the sitting room were the books of a small pephew, among them a copy of Little Rel Riding Hood. Her life, bar- ren and hard, had known nothing of literature save her few school books, She picked up the volume and was soon ab- sorbed in the story. When the lady came in, she extended it to her, saying eagerly: **Is it true?’

It was her first step in the realm of enchantment, but it cume too late. She had experienced the real; it was hard, bitter. The same girl a few years later awaited her turn at the library, and

begged the attendant to choose for her.

The lady hesitated, then extending a volume by Dickens, said: ‘‘Will you

have this?’’

She shook her head, saying: ‘‘I tried to read one of his, once. He writes of rags and poverty and hard times. Give me something livelier, *. Lippin- cott’s Magazine.

Are The Jews Returning to Palestine?

In the Missionary Review of the World Rey H H Jessup of Beirut, Syria, con- siders the subject of the number of Jews in Palestine He answers with an em- phatic ‘‘No’’ the question, ‘‘Is it true that the Jews are flocking back to tha land of their fathers by thousands and tens of thousands, and that soon they will take possession of Canaan, restore their kingdom and rebuild their temple?’’ Dr Jessup gives consular statistics to show that in 1891 there werein Palestine proper only 45,031 Jews The Jews of Palestine are largely supported by the European rabbis’ fund, receiving house rent and weekly rations from the com- mon fund, thus encouraged in habits of idleness. The Rothschild colonies are con- ducted on the same pauperizing system. In 1893 Mr. Jessup visited two of the col- onies, finding the first an unthrifty and forlorn affair, the colonists looking sickly and dejected. The second colony had a splendid agricultural site, but lies on the margin of the most pestilential marsh in Palestine. He says: ‘*The whole impres- sion made upon an observer with regard to these Jewish colonies is that they are forced, unnatural and of doubtful suec- eess. The pauperizing system which had made Jerusalem a great almshouse tends to demoralize the whole system of Pales- tine colonization. The entire scheme seems to be a kind of fad, which is being pursued with a special object, having none of the elements which made the old Phoenician colonies and the modern An- glo-Saxon colonies successful.’’

As to the future of the Jewish people, Dr. Jessup has this to say:—

“1. The trend of Jewish migration at the present is westward, and further than ever from the old land of Israel There are about four times as many Jews now in New York City as there are in the whole of Palestine. Tens of thousands are going to the Argentine Republic in South America. They seem to be more and more torn loose from territorial at- tachments, and the great future of the Jewish race seems to be about to be wrought out in the free air of America.

“2 The return of the Jews is to bea spiritual return to Christ, their Messiah and Lord The marvelous prophecies of Ezekiel, 40 to 48, clothed in priestly lan- guage and figures which speak cf a read- justment of the configuration of Pales- tine, of a temple a mile square, and a special sacred ‘oblation’ or temple area lifty miles square, clearly refer in splen- did imagery to the future glories of the Church of Jesus Christ, and the ‘waters’ flowing from beneath the sanctuary point to the life-giving streams of the Gospel dispensation, which are destined to vital- ize and bless all mankind A litera) ful- filment of those extraordinary prophecies 1s manifestly physically impossible with- out the most stupendous miracle ever per- formed
