The good r«*opl« of Oberarr.mcrsau regard
moxy of the practices of foreign etiquette as
wholly unnecessary formalitiea. When a visitor
asks for a napkin, be need not be surprised to
receive a towel. On one occasion a party of
Americans who chanced to take luncheon tn a
villager's home, near the auditorium, were sur
prised to see the tablecloth removed and a large
piece of pie placed before each of them with
«ii a knife as an accompanying weapon. Tte
kjsjtaa were especially large, but the women of
tte party were equal to the occasion, and. pick

four hundred years old. For four more centuries
it grew and flourished, and was recently felled
for exhibition ut the St. Louis World's Fair.
The tree was thirteen feet In diameter at the

a railroad, that it was impracticable to obtain a
section near the base. Forty feet up. where the
tree was a little more than six feet in diameter.
