NOTES ON BELGIAN CITIES

Country of Plucky People
There is a hackneyed t.hra-•, invari-
ably wed by guide* and guide books
when drsenhtug that swat tower of
tbe church of .'otic Dame at Ant-
werp, to the effect that Napoleon
Bonaparte bkened it to Mechlin lace.
By cost' in this tower has come to be
known as the tower of the "Antwerp
Cathedral," hut in tact Antwerp has
no catb,dral, the nearest cathedral
town being llrcblir. (Malinee), %Isere
the Cardinal Archbishop resides.
For centuries this wonderful tower
has been the admitation of the world,

• ing of atones. For several years the
town autborities have been concern.d
about ,bis, and at. last it lute been
decided to make a minute explora-
tion of the tower to the very pinuacle,
and for this purpose • costly scaf-
folding must be circled. Once the
explo,ation terwivates the ecaffoldiag

The site of Liege is picturesque.
The lower portion is situated in &
level flat occupying both sides of the
rapid Meuse at its junction with the
soothe. The older and more inter-
esting quarter of the city lies on the
o esters bank of t be river and con-
trols)* the Cathedral of 8t. Paul slid
the chinches of St. Jaoquee, 9t. Choir
topbe, 81. Jean. 8t. Denys and 8t.
Barthelemy. Between this and the
higher town extends • boulevard,
above Which rise terraces of booties
intermixed with trees and crowned on
the summit b the churches of Ste.
Croix and St. Martin.
From the fact of Liege baying been
held as a fief of the German empire from
the tenth century to the French inva-
sion of 1761. its architecture mutates
very largely, if not exclusively, of a
Teutonic character. This is particu-
larly noticeable in such Romanesque
portion of churches as have escaped
being pulled down to make way for
larger and more splendid buildings
which the increasing wealth and pop-
ul+tion of the city demanded.
8t. Jean, 8t. Deny,, St. Bat thelemy,
St. Jacques and Ste. Croix retain
their western towers and faeades in
the several manners of working the
Romanesque style that were in vogue
between the tenth and thirteenth
motto kw. The three tint named pre-
served their early naves and cboire
down to the Later Renaissance period,
when they were rebuilt io tbe bar-
oque style which 16) years ago was in
the ascends n t.
An entire reconstruction of St.
Paul's Ithe present cathedral) was
pursued between the end of the thir-
teenth and the first hall of the six

of Ste. Croix were rebuilt in the four-
teenth and tboee of St. Jacques in the

Teutonic and Gallic element...

My darllog little Hello, -1 received
your two Wt.n, nee written from
Lbronto and the other on your ntutn
to Godseicb. 1 atm w !lad you had a
nice Ume in Torosto. 1 am sure Aunt
Annie end Harry were more than
kind to you sod Rota.
1
was soupset bythe war that lfor-
got to wlsb you many happy returns
of your birthday. How the Wwe dem
fly ! and you doe 13 roars of age. You
have not .pent many of those ill ears
wltb me. Well, darting, I wanted you
to have the benefit of a good. Cana-
dian public school education. 1 know
that when you come to Euglaod next
year, about May, that you will have
more �leneral koowle.lge in your head
Utah the English girls of your age. I
find the Ka slab girls' education very
superfleial, with exceptions of course.
Air soon as you come to England you
will have to stud* French and music.
I hope you are occasionally helping
grandma with the sewing. Every
girl must learn how to use • needle
and thimble properly.
Well, darling, we are all very upset
now in England with those dreadful
°erwat.m. I feel sure England aid her
splendid colonies will 1.e successful be-
cause we bay also the Russians and
the French with us against the Ger-
mans. What • dreadful man that
kaiser must be. He bas his soldiers
slaughtered by the thousand* b.. ause
he is ■mbitiou+ and wages a larger
empire. Well, 1 feel sure his awful
ambition will be his downfall. Just
like Napoleon; his downfall cone when
he met the English at Waterloo under
General Wellington. The general was
afterwards made Duke of Wellington.
The duke was given a beautiful house
in London and very much money and
many other pre..nt.. His London
house is quite near to mine. That
duke. of course, has been dead 11'2
years. The present duke, a direct des-
cendant,
er
cendant, now lives in the house.
Well, darling, I am glad you are
studying up the details of this war. 1
wrote grandma that I have my house
full of girl friends and w. are busy
sewing for the Ked Cro.s .ociety. Ws
have already many wounded British
soldiers now in England. The poor
boys are so dirty from lying in the
trenches for days and days that their
clothes have to be burnt. But very
often the soldiers hove money and
they ask that their clothes be went to
the cleaners to be cleaned leen,,e
they wiab to keep the old clothes to
show in year/ to come to their grand-
children, etc. It i• a greet honor to
fight for ones count' y. and there are

lowed to go to the front. Every mai)

England is anxiously fighting and
holding bask the Germans and writing
for the Canadi.ns to arrive. The
Canadians will be the first of the
British colonies to arrive to help the
Mother Country, because Caned* is
the nearest to the sett of the fighting
than any of England's other colonie=.
Then the Indians will arrive. Just
think it is only :ig years that India was
still at war with E••glend. Englan.l
finally conquered and Queen Victoria
was made Emppe.ss rel ludia in ts-,A
and now the Indians are more than
anxious to fight side by side with our
British soldiers against our enemy. the
Germane. It, only goes to show how
just and good the English rule is that
the Indians now 1•.t'e the English king
sufficiently to fight for him. Then
soon atter the Indians the Australians
and New Zealanders will arrive. Whet
a lot of colonies England has. besides
South and West Africa. i fear it will
be a ver long weir darling.
Now Ir have lots to do. We bare

foot. They are gond, honest people,
also of the Maxon rice, ae we eur•.elves
are.
You may wonder why the Belgians
did not tarry little bundles of clothe«.
Well, in their burry, when the Ger-
mans entered the town the poor things
ran to get all their children toped.' r.
then they picked up the photographs
of the big brothers and poor fatbere

away they would go to leave their
