In Halle. They are employed in the
salt-works and act as the pallbearers
In funerals. Their dress is peculiar,
medieval with knee-breeches and
fishing buckles.
Halle has a fine situation on the
several banks Of the Saale river and
contains some quaint old structures
and cemetery which we have not
seen parallel for oddity.
FOUR NOTABLE CITIES AND THE BLACK
FOREST
Mayence, a thriving town on the
Rhine, has its chief interest because
there was commenced printing, the
art preseryatiye Of all arts. John
Gutenberg was born In Mayence and
here In a side street established the
first printing office. Here his col
leagues, Peter Schaefer and John
Faust, also began to print books. The
historic houses are shown with pride
by busy Meyence citizens and the Gut
enberg museum and the statue OF the
first printer in the market-place are
pointed out to all comers.
The interest in Nuremberg Is its
quaintness. 1t is a medlaeval city
preserved in all its oddity to the
twentieth century. True, around the
ancient city has been builded a new
and intensely modern town, but this
does not detract from the charm Of
old Nuremberg, but rather, by con-
trast, adds TO 1t. The Kodaker, who
has an eye-and mouth-to the eata-
Bile and drinkable was especially
charmed with a meal which we took
In queer restaurant, which celebrate
ed some months ago les 500th birth
day anniversary. In this old town Of
Nuremberg, strange paradox, is the
largest of the worlds manufaetory OF
lead pencils, Johann Faber. "We were
the largest" said the director, "but /
do not know now. Two American
houses are getting very great"
Heidelberg has as drawing cards its
castle and its University. We were
rather disappointed in the castle itself
upon close inspection, the restora-
tlon giving 1t an all too modern appear
ance. But the view from the hills
above the castle, the delightful walk
through the forests, make Heidelberg
of blessed memory to all who come
within the shadow Of its overhanging
trees.
The Black Forest deserves a whole
paragraph to itself. So many and so
varied are its charms We went into
the very heart of the forest to Tri-
berg, and came back to civilization by
way of the Gates Of Hell and Paradise
II one sees nothing else in Europe, see
the Black Forest.
And now, after a zigzag journey
through Germany we have come to
Freiberg, a pleasant city upon the
southern border. Here we find Prof
and Mrs. Sidney Calvert and their
manly little son, John, comfortably at
home for the year while Prof. Calvert
takes work in Chemistry under a
famous teacher in the Freiburg Uni
versity. A brief day here, glimpse
