SIDEWALKS VARY IN THE
CITIES OF OLD EUROPE.
The sidewalks aud pavements
in different countries vary as
much as the people. In many
towns of Holland the sidewalks
are private properly, and one is
not expected TO step across them
unless entering the house to
which the walk belongs. In many
cities the streets and sidewalks
end in canals, especially in The
hague and Rotterdam.
In many Swiss towns side
walks are under arcades, the
masonry houses being built to
The curb. Under The arcades are
paved Sidewalks, Which in sum
nler are swafmed with tourists.
In Chester, Eng. some streets
have sheltered sidewalks SIM
liar to the Swlss SORT, but they
are even more curious, since
they are raised no TIE second
floor. The island OF Malta has
lights of stairs for sidewalks,
