German Folklore.

one of the delights ft1 travelling in Germany is the famIliA iry one soon acquires, or, more properly speaking perhaps, renews, with thc familiar folklore and fairy legend of the country If in EHglan1, one can scarcely escape the Charles lickens characters, in Germany one is ccn- stantly meeting the types immortaized by the brothers Grimm. indeed, it would be quite as ditiicU;t to imagine Germany without Mother uulua, Goidilocks Red Riding Hood, the 3rementown Musicians, Hansel and Gretel, and the rest of the company of dear famiiars, as it would be 10 think of old London without the Pick wickians. German painters, sculptors, musicians invariably try their talents at portraying their ideals among the children's fairytale folk, and it must be a fine bit of work indeed that passes the muster of German crit icism. One of the strongest bonds that hold the German in the charact- eristic grip of loyalty to the father land is this very pronounced love of children and failytales.-The Christian Herald
