and watched her flittering about iu the
convent grounds below. One morning
he missed her; the next morning a little
group of nous proceeded slowly to the
churchyard and Roland watching thenl
knew that he need remain no longer
there, basted to war and fell at Ronce8'
vanes. We arrived At Coblenz at jou°.
tion of Moselle and Rhine abont 3 o'clock
and entrance to this old Roman city--
Conflnentes-is very imposiug indeed.
From Coblenz onward the scenery is
perfectly beautiful, the tall mountains,
the aide of which are covered with grape
vines the grand old castles some in
ruins, some fairly preserved, the light
and shadow ever changing, the little
white walled towns eleeping peacefully at
the base of the majestic hills, the Rhine

Dear Everyone, -I wrote last from I winding its tortuous way and it is very

that you can not tell which way to turn
-All I have ever read of it gives no
adequate idea of its beauty. At the
old castle of Schouburg the famous
Marshall Schonburg who feel at the
Battle of the Boyne was born,, and the
castle walla are broken and only pieoes
remain standing of a building once the
home and birthplace of generations of
warriors the whole race of which is now
extinct. Passing onward we came to
the "Lorelei," the rocks told of in
fairy stories where the sirens lured the
fisherman to death in the cruel rapids be-
low. The Germans on board started to
sing "The Watch of the Rhine" and we
all sat and listened, until sonic one said
i'There is the Mouse-Fower," and so it
was on a little Island in the Rhine. We
soon reached Bingen and had dinner in
true German style on the terrace. It is
a very beautiful town 'tis true, but the
mosquitoes kept us awake all night and
we still bear innumerable traces of there
visit. Next morning we took train to
Frankfort -on -Main, had' - dinner their
and a drive about the town and then
came on to Heidelberg, the quaintest
old town we have yet seen. Our hotel is
away up on the mountain side and you
look down upon the ruined castle and
the long long rows of lights in the city
below, white the stone bridges with
their towers at eaoh end cast shadows on
the water, from University club rooms
the sound of music is borne upward on
the evening breeze, and all about you is
still, it seems hard to realize that long
ago the city teemed with knights in
armor and clash of shield and helmet
rung out heavily all day long,aud at even-
tide the old castle capitulated to the tri-
umphant Louis XIV of France. We went
all over the castle next day from "turret
to foundation stone," even to the
kitchen where we saw the immense fire-
place in which the whole ox was roasted,
the great wine vats one of which held
49000 gallons, the bake oven which mea-
sure about 15 or 18 feet across,and many
other marvels. Part of the Round
Tower was blown right out in a huge
mass of masonry, being so strong that it
fell in one solid lump into moat below.
The wall measures 21 feet in thickness,
while the diameter of the tower is 95
feet. We go on to Strasburg to -morrow
and from thence to Switzerland. Now
I must ,,lose -Love to all.

Heidelberg. We left Brussels the day
after celebration and by the way, Sir
Hugh Reid, who was an invited guest of
King Leopold's celebration was telling
ne that the Prince's little son, of whom
I wrote you, stood for 2 home between
father and grandfather at the reception
that afternoon. I enjoyed Brussels very
much indeed. Did I write you about
our visit to Waterloo? I have for-
gotten. At any rate we went and view-
ed all that remains of that famous battle
field A large mound 165 feet bigh, on
top of which stands a lion, cast from the
cannon captured by the British, com-
memorates the death of the brave fel-
low
who fell there. From the top of the
mound can be seen farm houses where
were touglit battles of Mt. St. Jean, La
Belle Alliance, Hangomont and La
HayeSainte. Our guide showed ns all
over the place and took especial pains to
point out the fact that the Wrench never
entered the N. gate of Hangomont Farm
where the British were stationed but at
the S. gate held by some -troops of the
allies. To -day grain waves ripe over the
scene of the carnage of 90 years ago,
and cattle graze upon the side of the
mound, at the foot of the mound the
peasants stand offering for sale every-
thing that you can think of. We had a
delightful drive through the Forest and
stopped at the museum, and church
which was used as a hospital for the
wounded. We saw the bed in which The
Duke slept the night of 18 June 1815.
From Brussels we cam° to Aix-la-
Chapelle the home of Charlemagne of
historic fame, and found a modern up-
to-date city. little to indicate that it had
been founded by the Romans nearly 1200
years ago. We went to the cathedral
and saw all the relics of past ages that
were to be seen, the copper pulpit iul'aid
with precious stoma, the gift of Henry
II. the old fashioned Candelabra of year
1135, fitted np with electric bulbs! and
CharIemague's chair of state. We also
visited their town hall in which the
Emperors were crowned up to year 1535,
and here we saw some very fine part-
ings too.
From Aix we came to Cologne stop-
ping over night at Hotel Du Nord. Next
morning we took a cab and drove to the
cathedral, a most magniflcient building,
the outside adorned by numerous beauti-
ful statues. The windows on one side
date bank to year 1500 I believe and are
marvels of richness and beauty. The
coloring is exquisite. The people come
in and say their prayers, market baskets
in their hands, and go on about their
work while the tourist steps softly about
finding it difficult to realize that this
is the everyday life of the people we see.
We drove about the city in the after-
noon and caw remnants of fortifications
rising ragged and bare, for the English
Ivy does not cover these rains as it does
in England, and walls crumbled and
broken no longer needed as defences
converted into beautiful terraces and
gardens. We left Cologne by boat Wed-
nesday morning 8.45 o'clock passing
through the old fashioned "bridge of
boats." Beyond Cologne on the right
bank of the ithine rises the ruins of
Drachenburg 908 feet above the Rhine
while- across from it stands the fantastic
arch built by Roland the paladin of
Charlemagne, and below in ice shadows
lie the old convent in which his sweet-
heart tool refuge supposing her lover
had fallen during the Crus ades. On his
return he built the castle on the hillside

The new bridge at Lower Wingham is

FALL POULTRY WORK.
The most important of the fall work,
and on it depends the supply of eggs all
winter through, is the proper matnriag
of the pullets. If they are small and
their summer and spring care was not
good they may not be expected to lay
any great number of eggs, for they will
be busy trying to gain the needed size,
The poultryman who has the knack of
getting ont the early pullets is the suc-
cessful one in all things about the pool.
try yard, for this is the test by which
he may be judged,
If the pullets are doing fairly well in
their growth and yet tome eize is needed
on them it is at this time of the fall when
they will put it on the easiest.
When the pullets are out on the range
they .get a lot of bugs and worms which
are not found elsewhere. They also get
strength that makes them vigorous and
well able to stand the strain of heavy
egg production when they are called on.
Give them all they will eat twice daily.
In the morning they should have wheat
and at night feed all the cracked corn
that they will eat. Feed this in troughs
if the ground is too foul. Hulled oats are
good growing feed. too.
Orchard or field range will supply the
rest of the diet and if you think that the
supply of bilge and worms is scarce,
then get some: ground beef scrape,' for
.;the take the place.adniirably. On the
average farm the scrape are not needed.
If the pullets are far behind In their
growth feed a mash in the morning or
at noon. Noon suits very well, as then
the fowls are ready for it and itis all di-
gested by the time they come up for their
next feed.
The roosts should be made of boards
about two inches wide, for those any nar-
rower than this will make crooked breasts
on them, and these ere defects that can-
not be oretconze.

a captain who will choose his own men,
each will receive a moderate yearly
salary from the council.
The town band boys have always re-

good supply of grams will be euflclenft
nourlehment for her, says Americas
Cultivator, Very young foals are apt
to Buffer from two totally different
forme of attack -namely, constipation
and diarrhoea. The predisposition to-
ward the former of these ills can usu-
ally be ,checked by a dose ,of castor oil
being administered -to the foal phortiy
niter it is dropped. Castor oil or lin-
seed oil may oleo be given if diarrhoea
sets in, with the object ,qf clearing out
any irritants from the bowels as a pro-
liminaty lneapure, end after that bi-
carbonate of soda in rice water or >r
little 'chlorodyne in boiled milk may bee
given, for it le abeolutely necessary
that the 'scouring be stopped. As soon
am the foal is able to feed -that• la, se

bran with a modicum of salt may be
