which indicates the time of day, the date, and the season of the year. We made it a point to be at this wonderful clock at 12M. when the twelve apostles in wax pass by an open window, each one turns and faces the street. There are many things indicative of the condition of the people; religiously and otherwise, and which of course have a great bearing on the development of the younger portion of the citizens of Prague. The character of the people we studied from their faces as we passed along the streets; and from their customs and habits as we passed from one thoroughfare to another. One would hardly imagine the varied ways of making a living before visiting some of the old and thickly populated cities.

After living a day in centuries back, and passing forward to our present day and the realization of our purpose in this far off part of the earth, we purchased tickets to Vienna the capital of Austria and Hungary. The elapse of a night, in sweet repose on the hard benches of a Third Class European Box Car, fixed up for passenger, found us on a mountain-walled plain, near the Danube river, in the city we were eager to explore.

It surpasses every thing of that kind of work also that I have had the privilege of seeing. Being tired and our guide having been dismissed with the desired fee for his few hours time which to us had been exceedingly valuable we
