The French Sisters English Prayer.

Father Edward Soren. of Notre
Dame, brought with him on his return
| from one of his visits to his native
place, Paris, France, a native teacher
of French for the Academy of St.
Mary Du Lac. She was a charming
Sister in her gestures and manners
and was anxious to learn the English
language She asked one of the Amer
lean Sisters to teach her the Lords
prayer in English.
This American Sister did so with
great deal of relish and apparent
sport And when the dear little
Parisienne could repeat her Pater
Noster in the delightful language used
in this country she went to the good
old priest, Father Soren, and told him
In French that she desired he should
hear her say her prayer in English.
Grayely granting her request the
amiable man listened with sober face
and gentle light in his eyes, while
the little Sister repeated with earnest
ness the ditty Of
old brother Ben
Shot his goose and killed his hen"
telling her beads with the same devo-
ton she did in saying Our Father"
in French. At the conclusion of her
prayer Father Soren said:
That is well done, Sister. You have
acquired the language with great ease
aud facility But, pray, tell me who
was the Sister that taught you so
beautifully" She quickly gave the
Sisters name and asked in French.
But my Father, do you think the
Lord heard me Alright, not being &C.
customed to me in English?"
Yes, yes, my child; the Lord has
fully understood your prayer. 1t is
not the words. but the intent. New

The agricultural features of Holland
were next discussed by the profess
sor. In a one-stOry, rectangular brick
house with matched roof lives the
Dutch farmer together with his cows,
said he. Hay, grain and vehicles are
stored in the same building. But
scrupulous cleanliness prevails, the
COW stables being as clean as the Hv-
ing rooms in the better class of Amer
lean bouses. Many of the Dutch
farmers use gas for lighting their
houses, for cooking, etc. The cattle
are exceedingly numerous and are
generally black and white. The seen
cry is charming, embracing as it does
the intensely green meadows and pas
ture fields surrounded by bitches Of
water which serve in lieu of fences.
Dotting these are the numerous cattle,
while always in sight are the great
windmills, which remove the excess
water, lifting it from one canal to the
next until it pours over the dixie into
/ the sea. Years ago the Dutch farm.
ers were less progressive than the
/ Danes in agricultural matters and
consequently lost their markets.
Great hardships followed and the
| prices of land in Holland fell greatly.
! Switzerland, said the professor, is
the ideal spot for the tourist seeking
charming scenery combined with the
conveniences and comforts of modern
civilization. Cog railroads, cable
lines, etc, enable the sight-seer to
climb mountains and place himself in
the midst of the widest scenery with
out discomfort The hotels are ex-
cellently managed and reasonable in
price. The valleys and lower noun
tain sides are intensely green with
grass or fir trees. Every portion OF
the earth not rock itself is utilized by
the patient, frugal tillers of the soil.
! The houses or chalets are particularly
picturesque with their broad, over
| hanging roofs. The COWS are as tame
as kittens. In August the cattle are
to be found only in the highest val
leys close up to snow lines, grazing
on the short vegetation which luxuri-
ates for but few weeks Every COW
in Switzerland wears a broad strap
about her neck, to which is attached a
tinkling, silver-toned bell In summer

! houses on the mountain sides in the
