A Visit to Waterloo,
Antwerp and surrounding country not
being far from Holland and partaking
largely of the same peouliaritiee of soil,
climate, people, &o., we were frequently
reminded of many of the things which
Mr. Jansen so graphically pictures in leis
popular lectures on Holland. Here we
see the houses, streets, stables, wooden
boots, coo., &c., which has become familiar
through these addresses. One thing we
noticed particularly and that was the ex.
tree ;r nc»meas and rih ess of rho dress-
es worn Py the Antwerp ladies in 00m-
parison with those seen In Paris. We of
course expected the opposite. But in
Antwerp and Brussels, nearly every, lady
was beaatifally though not always richly
dreeeed. The harmonizing of color in
their dresses and especially in the milli-
nery was pleasing to the eye and indicat.
ed a cultivation of taste not to be seen
in Canada. Passing cm, however, we
took the train for Brussels through a fine,
rolling oouutry, and one or two fair sized
towns. Of these latter, Moeines with its
lace manufactures and its Oetbedral ie
the most important. The country be•
tween Antwerp and Brussels has many
features quite new to a Canadian but
time will not permit to describe it fully
now. Suffice it to say that it is more
rolling than farther North though many
farms seem to be so level that wherever a
ditoh is seen it is nearly full of water.
The fields hare are set off with wire
fences, the wire being strung from small
iron poste instead of from wooden ones
as vete es. Nnk many ne.thlo or horses
are seen but large flocks of ebeop are
grazing everywhere. The houses show
extreme cleanliness as in Holland, and
indicate that the people are generally well
to do. Altogether the country appears to
be peeoperous and mora progressive than
some others seen, though the same crude,
slow, I almost said, antedelavian, imple-
ments and methods of harvesting are
everywhere in evidence as in other coun-
tries on this side of the water.
Brusselsreached, we benotne at onoe
aware that we were in a lively, progres.
sive city. Probably the big International
Exhibition in progress pauses some of the
stir and bustle which pervades every
street and square from the Station to the
suburbs. The mein streets were bril-
liantly illuminated by electric lights, gas
lights and Chinese Lanterns. Imitations
of tbeee last two, made of glass or por-
celain were along two or three otreeto for
miles in length suspended by the hundred
across the streets and along the front of
the larger houses and shops in fantasti-
cally arranged figures or in graceful
curves making some artistic designs.
The effect of these all, espeotally in some
of the public squares, when fully lighted
up at night was magioal. It was like
some everahanging fairy Beene in which
the gay moving throng of humanity fitly
pictured the fairies themselves. Bunt-
ing, national andotherwise, was every-
where
verywhere displayed in profusion. The
notels which catered to British travellers
usually floated theUnion Jaok in addition
to their own. In the Exhibition ground
too, all around the British exhibit the
dear old flag seemed to guard like flying
sentinels the interests of the old land.
It is impossible to describe the feeling
that comes over "a true Britisher" in a
foreign country surrounded by alien
tongues, peoples customs and banners
when he sees or toltabee the "flog that
has braved a thousand years the battle
and the breeze." Even the sight of it
floating horn the masthead of a ship or
steamer seems to inspire confidence in
the staunchness and sea worthiness of
the craft.
The exhibition itself was not of so
much interest to ns. Moab, all of it in-
deed, wee good, but it was small in com-
parison with the World's Fair in 1893
and some departments were no better
than the Indaetrial in Toronto every
year. Franoe, I think, made the greatest
dieplay. Every phase of Frenoh industry
and art almost, was to be seen. The
parts representing the manufacture of
different articles were of considerable in.

paper of all sorts, engraving and printing

order a felt hat to measure and "while
you wait" you could see it made, from
the fur still on the skin till it was dyed
and ribboned ready to don. So with
many other things. But as exhibitione
are so common at home and es all are a
good deal alike I shall not now inflict up-
on you further details.
Next m0rniu0 we bolded to vielt the
battle field at Waterloo. To every Brit-
ish subject this is a sight of peculiar in-
terest. Indeed all nations seen: to be in.

The road to Waterloo even at
that time most have been beautiful but
probably the thoughts of the great Com-
mander were too busy with the moment -
nee. fame R1 hq.,,1 t" foIrn nor' 11,110 of
what was passing. It would have been
a pleasure to ride over the same road in
the saddle, bat our time would not per-
mit. The Railway station nearest the
field is called Braine L'Allend throe miles
farther on than the Village of Waterloo.
Arriving there a coach le in waiting to
convey paseengere if they so choose, to
theoentre of the field miles distant,
the fare one way is a frano the return
journey 1} francs for the coaob alone.
It was our good fortune on the way out
to meet an English gentleman, a retired
physician, who bad been several times
over the ground before. He was one of
the affable kind who delight in showing
kindness to others. His readiness to
give all possible information enabled us
to view the more important points of
interest in the shortest time. On the
centre of the field is a lenge mound of
earth called the mound of the Lion, 200
feet in height, thrown up on the spot
where the Prinoe of Orange was wound-
ed in the battle. Thie mound is about
of a mile in diameter at the base and
is eurmonnted by a square stone ooping
15 or 20 feet high, and formed into• wide
steps around wbinh observers may see
all parts of the field. On top of the stone
is the figure of a huge lion oast by
Ooekorill, of Liege, from cannon captured
from the French et the battle and is said
to weigh 20 tons. From the top of this
"Mound let the Lion," the whole Laid
like a huge spread -out cane may be
Been. From our English friend we soon
learned the position of the oontending
armies, where the chief struggles of the
day tools place, where some of the bravest
had fatleo, where the wounded were
cared for, and many other thinge"histoi•i-
cat and otherwise connected with the
memorable battle. One rather ludicrous
incident connected with the "Lion" is
perhaps worthy of epaoe. In 1882 it will
be remembered that the Belgians and the
French had a "warlike brush." The
Frenoh soldiers on their way to Brussels
stepped aside to see the field and in order
to avenge Waterloo hacked a few inches
off the Lion's tail. The French General
to his honor and credit prevented further
injury to the mound. It has often been
suggested that the "tail be repaired" but
the Belgian Govt. refused, saying that it
would be a pity to remove evidence of
how easily a great battle may be avenged.
It is said the French themselves have
even ufY;: nc; t" 0,41,1 i the d,,,,iap,. to ra•
move any obloquy that may be attached
to it, but still the same refusal as a taunt
to the "Avengers" of Waterloo.
At the foot of the mound there is a
hotel where English is freely spoken.
Part of she hotel In seL epee. as tocteeniel
for relics of the fight --swords, bullets and
armor of all kinds are here Bet out in
order with date of finding and place
where found recorded. A visitor's book
contains many historic names.
To Mies McDonald the field and mne.
eum were of more than ordinary interest.
Her grandfather, Capt. Alex. McDonald,
took an aotive part in the engagement.
He was wounded several times, though
not severely, had two horses shot under
him, and•for gallantry and courage WES
made a Major. Not =oh wonder that
she scanned carefully the armor found to
see if any bore his name. Many of the
swords had the owner's name engraved
on them near the hilt. She found none,
though ebe was allowed the distinguish•
ed honor of writing in a book, kept sacred
for the desoendenls of those who took
part in the fight, her name, date of visit,
plaoe of residence, regiment and position

of soldier, ancestor or relative end her
relation to said ancestor. The keeper of
the book told her it was an honor to have
one's name enrolled in that book and of
late years not many new names had been
added,
