FROM OUR EUROEI;‘E.I‘AN CORRESPONEâ€" Brussels, Belgium, Aug. 20th, 1897. My DEAR RAMAGE :â€" You will doubtless be surprised to hear of me next from this central Eu: ] ropean city. But so it is When so near to Belginm as London an4 when l a great international exhbition was in progress here it seemed too bad to miss | to opportunity to come to see if it were equal to Chicago in 1894 and to know if any new thing had been discovered since that time. I had given up the\ idea of coming here at all but events in London the last few days put the cpportunity within reach, I; may be interestiug to follow our course since we left. By train we reached Harwich where we embarked direct for Antwerp. We were most of the night on the water for about 5 a. m. the pilot was taken aboard at Flashing to lead us in saftety up the river. ‘The journey from the mouth of the river to Autwerp is exceedingly interesting and attractive. The Scheldt is in places some miles in width while inl others less that a mile it woulid appear. It is rather a broad estuary for many: miles than a river. _ The country on either side is remarkably flat as far as the eye can reach. Some parts appéar to be depressed even below the surface ot the river and the lower story of the houses cannot in some places be seen owing to banks of earth which have been thrown up as dykes to protect the lowâ€"lying land from periodicai inun dation. This apparent deadâ€"level is relieved by the quaintness of the houses, the greenness and freshness of the verdure, the flapping wings of an cecasional windmill, the row upon rows of stately poplar which seem»to. serve,, besides } shade , to divide farms and fields, aud | . indicate the courses of ditches, riyers|| and highrvads. â€" It is not monotonous 1 therefore but presents an everâ€"varying || panorama to those not accustomed to | such. _ All the way up the river we pass ships, steamers and smallercraft on their way to or from Antwerp the ccommercial capital of Belginm. i And if Antwerp is anything it is a |\ commercial city. Its long line of docks \@Quais" and its large and beautiful Istations abundantly prove this. The traffic too avound there is largely of a commerical kind broken in upon of course at this season of the year by ‘the thronging of traveilers and tourist , bent upon â€" pleasure or seeking in this way the education which travel alone can give. The history of Antâ€" werp is a chequered one. Situated as it is, one cannot wonder that it frequentâ€" Fine Arts. Modern Commerce. ly suffered from the fierce Enqropean ; 4* confliets which somehow have centered ::: in Belgitm making it, as it has often | m been called, the battle field of Europe,. d Froim these confliets Antwerp suffered R] most and several times it was considâ€"| i \erably reduced in consequence. Since rt |the insurgent revolution of 1830â€"82| s | however it has been gaining ground | aitd since the early sixties it has adâ€"| t |vanced more rapidly than any other ‘r ~European city. c | _ After reaching our hotel and makâ€"| f , ing arrangements for our stay we proâ€" t,. ceeded on foot to see the chief places | a | of interest. _ In many European cities, | ; ‘ one can gain much time by going afoot | ; instead of driving. In Antwerp, beâ€" f sides the Cathedral, the churches, the 7 { ‘*ILoo " several museums and the Cele-\i , brated Musee Plantin Moretas, there is |! \not much to interest the mere sight | seer. â€" The city has been wrecked and reâ€"built so often that much of it is comâ€" paratively modern. The things menâ€" tioned are however decidedly worth secing. The architecture of the Cathe: . â€" dral and the churches is quite antique for even the fiercest war somehuw proâ€" toects the charches from the rude hand of the spoiler. It is well that the sacred ‘ influence of Religion should do even » this much for hamanity at timeswhenl | all the ecarser passions for destruction i ‘seem to be allowed free play. . Two _ paintings in the Cathedral were of esâ€" â€" pecial interest, the $wo masterpieces of the greatest Flemish painter, Ruâ€" ; bens.. These arestyled ‘‘The Descent from the Cross ".and ‘‘The Eleyation In Busy Antwerp. atenmenmemmatsenen es rmcarmenetennnmeminenmmemtenema e tien e O C000 0 0 cpm m 9 9P Y YCV DURHAM, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1897. of the Cross." These paintings are remarkable even to one, like myself, | untutored in artistic lore and like most Americans not trained to appreciate such high art. The impression on the mind will not soon fade. In Antwerp is to be found the largest collection I think, and the best of Rubens‘ and Van IDyck’s paintings. They cannos be bought though you may imagine how pleased any of us would be to have one in our homes. For a small picture in St. Paul‘s the " Scourging of Christ" by Rubens (about 5 by 6 feet) Vanderbilt offered $230,000. _ Many others are worth much more. In these churches also we saw specimens of the best wood carving in the world, The designs and the execution of these deâ€" signs often by rude tools merit this proud designation, Only at St. Peters at Rome we were told are to be found better examples of the genius and skill of Artist and wood earver. When you take Hood‘s Pills, The big, oldâ€"fashâ€" loned, sugarâ€"coated‘pills, which tear you all to pieces, are not in it with Hood‘s, Easy to take Hoods and easy to operate, is true Hood‘s Pills, which are a ap to date in every respect. ' s Bafe, certain and sure. All Cruggists. 2¢. C. L Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. The only Pills to take with Hood‘s Sarsaparills. A place of peculiar interest to me from an industrial point of view was the Plantin Musee. â€" This is simply the house and office of a celebrated printer, Uhristopher Plantin (1514â€"1589) containâ€" ing all the presses, type, models, type foundry, engravings, designs, library of books and paintings, etc., etc.. bought by the city of Autwerp and Lurned into a muscum to show the genius and skill of their great townsman and the adâ€" vancement of the Printing Art under him and afterwards under his son indaw Moretus. _ The only remarks 1 shall muke hete is that with all our boasted progress, we cannot toâ€"day prodnce betret" destgns or ~hbetter ~â€"wok t < was done by the Flemish printer three: hundred years ago, â€" Certainly we can do by machinery now what he did by hand, and we can distribute to the mifâ€" lions what was then only the possession of the rich few,. â€" Doubtless our mamâ€" moth Bullock or Hoe Presses would astonish Hert Plautin as much as his printing presses and diminutive type foundry surprised us. The whole place is in the light of toâ€" day, an object lesson of human progress and to a reflective mind indicated not only the advencement or decadence of such progress but also the varions directions which that progress has takâ€" en. â€" For, after all, progress" is a word of variable signification, _ What one p('l'S(ill ur llilti()ll terms l):'()gl'(‘fi.‘ii()fl Hll‘l other emphatically affirms to be retroâ€" sression and with good reamaon too. ie Hence, the development of any at ur{ '1'; industry may result in the invention of | F{ machinery that will eventually destoy | _¢ the native genius or skill of the artist or | C craftsman. â€" This of course is unot so un \ i friling in the fine arts as in the grosset | "1, matiters with which the majority are| ‘Ilj are more concerned. â€" It thus happens | / that what we in Canada call prngws“.‘h' LEuropeans deny to be progress. 'l'heyl honor the man, they say, more than his | productioi, | We are apt to forget the | . iman in admiration of what he has proâ€"| (duced or worse what he has proposed to | produce whether feasable or not. It is| £ for us to consider whether there is truth | © in this estimate of American and Canâ€" ‘ t adian character, _ It will do us no harm | at any rate ** to see ourselves as others| £ see us " ounce in a while,. _ ) j But to proceed, ths "Zoo" we found | 1 to be one of the very best we had seen , tho‘ by no means the largest. The arâ€"| ‘ rangeiuent of the whole is designed to || combme artistiec beauty with the comâ€"| fort of the animals and with the utmost & ] facility in viewing what is contained in | the gardens. _ ‘The space alloted to the |â€" ammals is more: roomy and better arâ€"| . cranged it is said than elseéwbere in Euarope. â€" Two Siberian tigers took our | attention. In the minds of most people | |Siberia is associated with arctic winter | and on the other hand tigers with trup-l {ical jungles. _ To see therefore a real .\ Siberian tiger was a curionsity, And‘ § grand specimens of the tiger kind they avre. _ Massive, strongly built, strikingly â€" | marked, lithe, watchful and ever restâ€" | |less they are ceitainly the best of the tiger kind I have yet seen. My mind | â€"| wandered over the map of Asia uantil I ; :\ remeimbered the wide extent of Siberia | } than I located Mr. Tiger in his native| | country. _ To enter these gardens there , â€"| is, like almost everything else in this| p | country, & charge of One Franc.
