Der q few Of them: Madonna aud Calld
with Angels, by Perugino. Family Of
Nazareth, by Rembrant. Marriage at
Cana, by Raphael. Christ Crowned
with Thorns, by Titan, etc.
There is much of beautiful Paris
we fail to mention; but time for
bids.
We DOW leave France, cross the
English Channel, thence by rail
through England on to Scotland, or
the land Of Walter Scott. We made
an extensive tour through this beau
tiful country. THE is decidedly the
finest country we have seen. We
stopped at Edinburgh for awhile. This
is nice, clean, cool cisy, situated al
most IN the mountains. It is said
Princess St. Edinburgh is the most
beautiful street in sll Scotland. We
continue our journey by rail to Calen-
der; here We took stage coach for 10
miles through q grand and beautiful
mountainous country; now We arrive
ct Lake Vennaohar. Here we took q
delightful boat ride on the lake for
eight miles, then another coach ride
through the interesting mountains for
five miles. This brought Us to tho
great and widely known Trosssohs and
! to the lovely Lake Louh Katriue; this
ie one OF the most noted places in
Scotland; here Walter SCOTT wrote
"Lady Of the Lake" The scenery
along this lake is grand beyond de-
soription, great mountains on each
side towering hundreds of feet high,
and along the margins Of the lake
could DE seen here and there lovely
hotels, stately mansions, etc. Il ie
no wonder that Scott was inspired to
do the great work he did, situated es
be YES in this grand and glorious
country. After q delightful sail OF
twenty miles We landed here and took
train for Glasgow.
There is great difference between
Edinburgh and Glasgow. The latter
was Bishops seat and place Of con-
| sequence centuries before Edinburgh
was thought of. Edinburgh is now the
| city to which Sootsmen and strangers
alike look for the antique interest Of
Scotland, while Glasgow forgetting lee
romantic past, lives chiefly by tho
fame Of it's energetic life Of today.
By reason Of this very fact, none per-
haps is better fitted than o Glasgow
man to appreciate the peculiar charm,
the heroic memories and lettered
grace. which form the atmosphere Of
the "modern Athens" It is NO
doubt for this cause that Edingburgh
remains the chief "!Lion" of Scotland
| to Glasgow people and their friends.
We would like to have given a much
fuller description of the lovely coun-
try Of Walter Scott, but We cannot at
this time. We would also like TO say
something about Belfast. Ireland, and
her great linen and shipbuilding in
dustries, but we will have to leave
this to some future time.
