On the second floor live the family,

People in the Schwarzwald do not
move about from place to place as
we do in America. Consequently
the house passes from generation To
generation. ! have a picture of one
which is 900 years old.
In Schaffhausen we took car to
the Rhine Falls which are really very
pretty, but ! assure you cannot be
compared in any wav with Niagara.
Having seen the falls we returned to
the town and visited the old cathe-
dral. not very beautiful building
of Roman architecture but interest
ing because Of its age. it was built
In the eleventh century, and because
in it is the great bell known as the
Schiller Bell, because it bears this
inscription: Nivos voco, mortuos
plango, fulgura FRANCO. The living

the noted Schiller took for his Song

il about an hours ride. About half
way between the two we came in
sight Of Lake Constance, with its
low reedy shore, and calm, placid
waters dotted here and there with
boats. One of these was loaded with
hay and was being slowly propelled
by woman with head bare and
sleeves rolled up to the elbow.
At Constance we visited the Ca
thedral, a large building Of the Ro-
man style of architecture. and with
beautiful interior decoration. Under
this church are many underground
passages, anG very pretty under
ground chapel. The stones that
form the floor of the cathedral are
always moist, except one, the one
upon which John Huss is said to
have stood when he received the SEN
tence to be burned at the stake r.
