elberg Is great, even in decay, and
holds about it's ivied walls and pictur-

glory which has been associated with
its past. The Heidelberg that was in
1867, the date fixed by G. P. R. James
for his two horsemen to make their
advent into Heidelberg. was very diff
ferent from the quiet Heidelberg of
to-day. whose somewhat dull tenor is
only disturbed by the %caracoling of
students elated by too much beer, or
the mild pianoforte-isma of the in
mates of the family pensson, whose
combination of style with economy de-
mands that excellent teeth as well as
digestion should wait upon appetite.

A Quail Burial.

About eighteen months ago seventy
five quail were taken from Tennessee
into New Jersey for the purpose of
colonIzing them. In the spring of
1884 the experiment of breeding the
birds while in. confinement was at
tempted, two pairs being placed in
a large wire cage that was built in the
yard of a farm house. The birds
mated. That spring one of the birds
built a nest and laid thirteen eggs. and
was about setting on them when, in
consequence of the breaking of q water
leader, the nest was destroyed. The
eggs were then taken and put under a
bantam and Matched out. That sum-
mer the hen quail died. Last autumn
one of the cock birds died.
This spring the remaining pair.
being a cross pair, mated, and
the hen bird built a nest and laid thir-
teen eggs. During the first week OF
her sitting upon them she was taken
sick, and after moping for two or three
days died. While she was sick, and
after her death, the cock bird mani
tested some very remarkable charac-
teristics. He seemed greatly dis
tressed. The hen bird had died on
her nest. The cock would run TO her
and caress her, and then turn away
and call her. He made queer chirp-
ings and sounds such as he had never
been heard to utter before. At last
he seemed to realize that his mate was
dead. He then went and pulled her
off the nest and dragged her body
over to the n of the cage with
backward movements of his feet.
There he dug a hole and covered her
up with earth, leaving only the long
wing feathers of one wing exposed.
This done, without uttering any furth-
er sounds, he returned to the nest and
sat on the eggs, and eventually sue
ceeded in bringing out a brood of ten
young quail. The young birds are
now alive. The story of the burial is
vouched for by a large number of
witnesses.-FOrest, Forge and Farm.

The most famous churches in Nu-
remberg are the st. Sebaldus and the
st. Lorenz (St. L~awrence). The first
was the St. Lorenz, a fine Gothic
structure, already in existence in 1162,
but altered and enlarged until it at
tanned its present proportions in 1477.
Its spires dominate all other objects
and it's front, with the rich rose portal,
contains a large number of sculptured
figures. The most remarkable object
OF the interior, which rests upon clus-
tered columns of great size and is
said to outrank all other churches in
Germany in artistic decoration, is the
Tabernacle by Adam Kraft. 1t is a
wonderful sculptured structure, rising
~sixty-five feet and representing the
scenes of the Passions and terminates
in a graceful half wreath of flowers in
stone, which bend over like a shep-
herds crook. The idea embodied is
that the office of Shepherd is the crown
of the work of Salvation, and the
monumental work is carried on the
shoulders of the master workman,
Adam Kraft, and his two assistants,
who form bent figures at the base, the
master carrying hammer and chisel.
The work was contracted for in 1893,
to be finished in three years at a cost
of not more than 700 florins-about
$500 to-day florin not being worth
than forty cents. But the work
extended over more than three years,
and seventy fiorins more were allowed
about $3.50 for this masterpiece. The
seven windows of the choir are o n
s1dered the best examples of Nurem-
berg glass painting, one of them bear
ing the mo nogram of Hans Culmbach,
a pupil of Albrecht Durer. There are
also pictures and windows by
Wholgemuth. Durer's master, and
above the organ a beautiful rose win
dow in glass mosaic. Of the modern
windows the most interesting is the
s.Emperor's" presented by the citizens
of Nuremberg in memoriam of the
consolidation of the German Empire.
The design was by Professor Wanderer
and the painting by H. Klaus of Nu-
remberg. There is another window
designed and executed by the same
artists which contains as central de-
sign the Triune Deity, With Luther and
MeIanthon as side figures in stone and
wood, and pictures by unknown mas
tiers abound; but there is a treasure
called the ''Salutation of the Angels"
which hangs from the roof in front of
the high altar, and which is the largest
existing wood carving by the great
master of the art, Veit Stoss; is franz
ed in a garland of roses and enriched
by seven medallions called the even
joys of the Virgin. The great Gothic
bronze chandelier was cast by Peter

ranks with the Tabernacle OF Adam
Kraft in St. Lorenz, as a masterpiece
OF German art and was the work of
Peter Vischer and his sons-the same
Peter ViScher who cast the chandelier
for st. Lorenz. The monumental
structure takes the form of a pagan
temple, though it is adorned with the
figures of the twelve Apostles 1t
rests upon the backs of twelve large
snalls, and has four dolphins at the
corners Above the figures of the
twelve apostles are the smaller figures
of the fathers of the church, the whole
surmounted by a figure of the infant
Christ holding a globe in his hand.
This is the key by which the entire
structure, it is said, can be taken
apart, if 1t IS necessary, and put to-
gether again. There are commemora-
tive windows in this church painted by
Hlrschvogel and presented by Maxi
There are also original works by AL
brecht, Durer. Adam Kraft, and Veit-
Stoss, and the commemorative Es-

the city. 1t has been a palace, has a
fine interior court, and the rooms are
huilt round the four sides of wide,
open galleries. which ascend to the
top story. The beginnings of Nurem-
berg are lost in obscurity. The first
records date from 1850, and it is sup
posed that the burg or castle vas the
first important structure, and that the
town grew around it. The Emperor
Henry H., the "Holy," conferred upon
it liberty of trade and rights OF duty
and coin, and 1t is a favorite residence
of Frederick (the Emperor Barberos-
say. who enlarged the burg in the
years between 1856 and 1888. Doubt
less, it was to these privileges and
distinctions that the town owes the
reputation it soon achieved for splen-
did work in stone, metals, wood, and
all mechanics. Nor is there any doubt
that these laid the foundation for its
more widely known achievements bv
the Nuremberg painters and their
schools. Durer and his master Who'll
gemuth were artisans and draughts-
men before they were painters, and
the art is not less fine in the stone of
Adam Kraft and the iron of Peter Vir-
cher-even in the wood of Veit Stoss,
than in the painting of Albert Durer.
We talk much of the dignity of labor
in America, but nowhere IS it more
despised than in our large cities.
Labor was truly dignlfied when it was
well taught, well done and highly hon.
ored. The old guilds which repre-
sented labor were among the richest,
most powerful and influential of cor
porations, and the remains of the
halls and furniture are as rich as any
found in the palaces.
