One remarked, "The New York papers always give us ext-a ordinary news concerning Boston." In the first place, the DTess Reform Club has jbeen defunct for years, and the original members dead and scattered, and in the second place, the original dress reformers, who ought to know if Snytjody does, have not heard a thing about It. It is forty yoans since the bloomer costume was worn on the streets of Boston by two young women. It iwhs on Sunday, and the policeman who arretted them, hurried both taltx the Tremont Housw In order to protect them from the violence of the crowd.

An eye-witness, of rhe eensa-tsonal affair says that the women were both handsome and refined. The skirts tihey bad on were rather short and scant made of gray woolen goods; the Turkish trousers of the sime could be seen when-they walked; both had on gray stockings to "match, nac fitting black boots and large leghorn hats.

-Apropos of not being hampered when in walking, between wearing Oie proper sort of ogerie and being drunk with it Is possible that during the next winter New lork will exceed New Orleans the walk of its women.

It is rather funny how the novel of the clay affects the bearing of the women. At the time tbat Mr. Henry James' novels were believed, by some people, to have a certain amount of interest all the women were "standing around." He made them stand end stand, that Is his heroines, until they fell into matrimony because they were so tired. Ouida very complacently and very kindly, too, lets heroines rest among piles of cushions and toe tiieir ease, and Miss Braddon has rather an inclination that way, too, though hers occasionally get up and walk across the room and serve somebody with The Duchess first makes all her yonnj women wave large fans, which calls for a certain amount of muscular strength, and then she lets tjiem "sway" wherever they are going.

This reads delights fully, but when yon bring -it down to absolute truth, and it is just between yon and me and under a rose, don't you think that a swaying yonng woman would look a little bit like one Who was too full of enthusiasm?

It is called, sweetly, simply and shortly, "Jane," and the said Jane is depleted by Jliss JcJinstone Bennett, one of the very best character actresses among the young women of to-day. I think I may eay the very bet, for she never minds sacrificing her personal appearance to her part and she is about as pretty a little woman. as ever Delighted the Eyes of Man or tihnee of woman unselfish enough to see the charm of another woman. The story la funny. Miss Benuert ha an pportnnity to look "pretty, and she wears the most beautiful red frock you ever saw In your life, aad It fit well, my dear friend, If yon ever get a frock Tb fit you In the back like Kiat, get down on your knees and give thanks for the dressmaker who made it Red is a most delightful color, and when it's brought out in rich, staffs, mingled wirti light tulle, and when you have a g'dmpee of a pretty foot in a red silk stocking and a red satin slipper, there is something, I don't know what it is, or you don't know what it Is.

that makes you think that of all colors In the world, red is the loveliest and the most human, snd this is the sort of a gown that Johnstone-Bennett wears. The play la full of go: is well acted, prettily put on the stage, and Just long enough to amuse one for the and to allow time enough for a pleasant supper afterward, ami to throw In a little beauty sleep by way of siieclal blessing.

We hoW on to it because we want sympathy, but we will see that the greater part of it la on a man's shonlder. If any newspaper would publish i.

I am forced to con-fens I don't know -how he behaves to the Western women, but I think he is gentleman enough to treat all women alike.

Now, just look down there at Washington. Didn't Mr. Foster go and give that nice Mrs. Douglas a position in the Treasury because her husband had been a good, kind, honorable man, and because the day had come when poverty stared ber in the face and she m-uat work to take care of that invn-Sd hursband?

But it's a very good thing In hhls world, especially if you re a woman, to be appreeiatiTe. Whenever yon see great, big. handsome, agreeable men wfao have a vague sort an idea that yon are an attractive woman, suppose yon let tfhem know that you appreciate this thought? Whenever, if you happen to be a woman, you meet The Sweetest Pair of Twins yon ever saw, appreciate them to the extent of staring at them, bat don't kiss them that's CoTbidden fruit. Whenever, if yon are a woman, yon see something marvelously pretty, ipprcslate It, and pray for It, and you will probably get it, Whenever, If yon are a woman, yon have an Idea that your skin Isn't white and smooth enough, get a box of almond meal, and ap-preoLute it to the extent of throwing it la your batih, so that what is mere ordinary water, will seem like milk. There in no charge made for commending this treatment, but closely followed up, It will make your skin like satin.

The University of Berlin was founded by King Frederick William ILL, early in the present century, at a period when the misfortunes which Prussia had suffered in the Xa.poleonic wars, and tho dismemberment of the kimrdotm by The Peace of Tilsit, instead oi crushing the aplrst of the people, had but aroused it to a more flowing patriotism ana a -higher intellectual life. With the active co-operation of such men as William von Hum- boklit. Xaebuur. and sehlesermacner, the or- giniiaatCon of the uaivcisity was completed in lhlO: and since that time its chief seat has been in the imposing building erected about the year 1760, on the north siue ox tne -xan-den" for the residence of Prince Henry of Prussia, mofher of Frederick the Great. It an.nds In the midst of the little Kastanien- wuld.

or Chestnut Grove, between the Acad emy of Fine Aits and the Boyal ArsemU. and directly opposite the Opera House, the Koyal Library, and the iialnce of the late Emperor William I. Tho entrance frcm the Landen is through an open garden, flanked on either aide by sitting Btaffuea of the famous brothers, William and Alex-mder von unm-boldt. in white marble, on sculptured pedestals. At the rear of the building is the University Garden, devoted espeaUy to the cultivation nnd (vthihition of medi'Jmal or omcmai p-ams.

The great Aula. or Council Hall, is adorned with busta of the most distinguished professor and several rooms are devoted to the Bo-oalld "Christian Museum a collection of monuments, Inscriptions, and work of eccles iastical ar, chronoiogtoaiiy arrnngeu, aim tmi.iiT.s- tJiromrh the entire of church history, but especially rich In relics of earlier Ohriarian centuries. It onoe bade fair to rival in intwt apflebrated Museo harchenano, in Home; but recent addition to the latter have again given it the pre-eminence. The rest of the edifice is-DCcayied by lecture and consultation rooms, and by the oiaces pertaining to the institution. Although the Berlin university cannot com-in ntm with its rivals of Prague, Vienna and Heidelberg, which date back to the latter half nf thft fourteenth century, it wis out stripped them, all in importance, and the old Palace Later oen enormous as ha km been insufficient for its accommoda tion.

Its great Horary, of 800,000 volumes not a3 big as the Bodleian, but, as Mercutio says, "'tis enough, 'twill serve" is contained in a neiehborine building, and the city is arndded with the satellites of the great central orb, among which the observatory, the chemical and physical laboratories, the surgical aad gynaecological olinica, the institute of phaima-cology and physiology, of pathological annt-omv and hygiene, and the geographical snd Oriental seminaries, are the mosb conspicuous. Its corps of professors and uvctien, number-In near lv three hundred and fcttv. includes some of the most prominenfc representatives of modern scientific and literary culture, anu is annually attended by more than live thou nand students. For the next winter or semester, commencing on the loth of October, no less than 737 courses of lectures are already announced, of which 48 are in theology. 79 in law, '2iii in medioine, and the remaining 374 are distributed among the various branches designated under th general held of "philos ophy, which, In the scholastic sense, em braces every department of knowledge hot immeaXntely connected with one or other of the three great learned professions.

especially of those wiho camo from abroad, is to be found in this category. Taking it for all in all, chere is probably no city in Europe, or in the world, which com Dines so many and such varied facilities for the pursuit of knowledge, as Berlin. The leading minds in every sptiere of activity gravitate toward 'this centre as naturally as an apple falls to the earth, and form a con.stellation whose brilliancy can scarcely be surpassed. The fame of its great university, and the extraordinary riohnees and variety ot its museums aad art collections. a-ot With the forcer of a powerful mragnet upon au who come within the radius of its attraction.

The royal library, while not. as broadly comprehensive as that of the British Museum, or as large as the Bibliotheque Nlationale, in Paris, or as rich In literary treasures as the Vatican, is sufficient for every practicail purpose; like most of the other great collections of Berlin, it Is accessible to all, with out money and without price; not only for consultation, for which the spacious reading-room proffers every convenience, but it maintains also a circulating de-pa rcmem, so that university students, and, indeed, any others who can find a friend to become responsible for them, may take out such books as they wish to read at home. It contains more (ton a million volumes, and about tifteen thousand manuscripts, many of which are of great hi-storical interest. In addition to this, and to 'the university" library, already mentioned, there is the library of the- KriegMehuia, or Mill'fary Academy. with abotit volumes; ths two latter, however, are Available only for persons connected with these several institutions, or by special permission of the authorities.

There areJikewise technical libraries, connected with (the va rfous royal schools and museums, to which access may be gained by thoe who require aid the pursuit of special lines of investigation. Berlin is, in fact, the scholar's paradise. Of the abounding wealth of ithe splendid collections in the various department of painting and In history, ethnology, mining, and munufacrnrinaj Industry, agricultural and mechanical impleroenta and appliances, the natural sciences and the art of war, I may have something to say hereafter; but their extent and value cannot be realized from any description, however graphic or voluminous. The catalogue of the royal library fl-Ils several hundred manuscript volumes; the briefest mention of the objects- contained in the museums of Berlin 'woaid tUi several thousand. The academic year la divided into two terms, or semesters, one commencing about tho middle of October and continuing until March, wnen there id an intermission of two or three weeks; and the ofber about the 1st of April and lasting nntil the end of July, when the great Sommerferien, or summer holidoya, ben.

The process of matricnlaition at the university is a very simple one, though it requires time. There is no preliminary the Candida. applies to the beadle (Pedeli) at bis office inythe university building, pays a small fee (I think it is Ave marks), and receives In return a card appointing a time for an interview with the secre'tary, probably on the next day, or the day after; and a Verzeicbniss der Yortewingen," 1. a pamphlet containing a printed list of the various courses of lectures, which, are to be delivered in the approaching or coming semester. From this he selects the three or four, and in the case of very diligent or ambitious students, sometimes five, courses, that he wishes to take, and signifies his choice to the secretary, who gives him cards of introduction to the several professors, whose lectures he desires to aotend.

The appHcamt pays also a matriculation fee of 18 or 20 mirks, and deposits his pastiport with the secretary, from whom he receives In exchange a "schem," or cardboard ticket, certifying that he is a member of the university. This confers upon him the Akademiache exempts Mm police control, and renders bim amenable (in the first Instance, at any rat), to the academic jurisdiction only. It likewise operates to the students' advaaiDBge in securing a certain percentage of reduction in the price of tickets to the royal opera and theatre, as well as other little privileges; and is in many ways a desirable possession. It is a better introduction, and a greater protection, than the pass port itself; and should always be carried about the person. And, by the way, let no one come to Germany without a passport.

It is not strictly requisite for the summer traveler. Who spends a few: days at a hotel in one city, and a few in another, and is constantly on the move, 'although even in such cases it Is far better to have one; bat tor anybody who intends to settle down, for a rhort time In a particular locality, It is absolutely neees- sa.ry. ''Municipal regulations require even when the State does not insist upon It; and fihrre a tv within mv neraoaal knowledge sev eral oases In which the lack of this important document has occasioned great inconvenience and annoyance. 4 And now, to go back to the routine of Initiation. When the expectant student has been duly matriculated, he visits the several professors under -whose infraction he proposes to place himself, at their rooms, "slch teMlren tai that is, to inscribe his name, pay his fees, and obtain- an "Bmlasskarte," or ticket of admission to the lectures.

The ruere itself the professor usually declines to touch; he leaves the "receipt of custom" to his private secretary. But the long process is at length completed, and those who object to the waste of time that is involved in all these complex arrangements, may content, themselves with the answer which one of the professors made to a young friend of mine who ventured to remark upon the delays which he had experienced. "Ja," said the old gentleman, quietly, "alle deutscna Sachen wind compUzirti" (Everything German is complicated!) The arrangement once made, however, the student i absolutely Independent, and may be just as diligent and industrious, or just as Mle and lazy, as he pleases. At the end of the semester, he again presents himself to the professor, sich testlren zu lnasen" there no equivalent English expression but whether he has in the meantime attended the lectures or not is a matter of entire Indifference to the university authorities. There is an old story of a student to whom the professor remarked, when he appeared before him at the end of the seiiester: "But I haven't seen you at my lectuue!" "Probably not, sir; I sat behind that cilumn." A grim smile played over the -jsxxf as aaobsexred: Ahl jtnx are the sixth man who was hidden behind that small column But the delinquent was duly testirt," all the same.

The usual fee for a course of lectures is 42 marksa, libcle more than (t'h mark is 24 oents, United States currency). There are also some courses which are "unentgeltlich" free; but these are generally upon subjects vrtrioh are not quite within the rejrnlar curriculum. TThe lectures or demonstrations' whlol are given "privfliteni, and are reserved for such students as have displayed some special aptitude; and they presuppose a certain degree of familiarity with the subject in band. There are, aleo, "Ferienvoriesun-gen," or vacation courses, which no student who hoe not plenty of time at his -disposal can afford to and these cost nearly as much as the semester courses. The total ex- i pense of tuition -will naituraHy vary according to the mimiber of courses which a student takes; bnt tt cannot be safely estimated at much less than 400 marks i year.

A degree and diploma can be obtained only by successfully passing a "fitaa.ts-examen,' or State examination, of somewhat forbidding severity; in w'hich the candidate Is not only put to the proof by oral and written is obliged to write certain "ihemata," or essays, on subjects connected with the studies he has pursued. Very few foreign s-Pudemte apply for diplomas. And while I am uponthis topic, let me say that I fear that an erroneous imprewsion prevails in America in regard to flhe cost of ob-ttBing am edu cation 'here. Xmbt3ees one may live and Study in Berlin, and in other university towns in Germany, more cheaply, all 'things considered, tiban almost anywhere else; hut it cannot be done for nothing; or anything approaching to it. me mention a few items: A fnirly comfortable room, furnished with a bed.

wardrobe, rug. anxl the necessary chairs and other appendages, may be obtained in the outlying (jirartors of the city (not in the central section) for 30 or 35 marks a month; "service," i. the necessary attendance and care of the room, will be 3 marks more; the simplest hr.eak!fiast, of coffee or tea, and a couple of small rolls, will cost from 9 to 15 marks monthly; arrd other expenses will be in proportion to the requirements of the Individual. If he is content with a very moderate dinner, he can gt one of three or four courses, well cooked and cleanly served, for from 1 to 1 1-2 marks; but he will-find the "portions" generally small; and if he -has a hearty appetite, and wants lunch as ivell as dinner, and a glass or two of beer besides, tie can hardly expect to get along for less than three or four marks a day. tinder such drcumshances his best plan would be to sacrifice a little of his independence, and take board at one of the numerous "pensions" to be found in all quarters of the city, and where the charges are." according to the quality, from 50 to 125 marks per month for board," and from fcO to 200 marks for rotm-aad board together.

These prfces generally include attendance, light and heating, biat there should always be a definite, previous undemanding in regard to this. Many of those who let apartments or single rooms in Berlin are ladles, in a more or. less expended sense of the word; others, howerver, are persons of a much lower class, whose sole aim is to make as much as they can out bf the business, and who- are ready to tftke every advantage of their tenants. It was only a few days since that a case came up in one of the local courts, in "which a woman of this description bad rented a furnished room to a young artist, at 'i3 marks per month, and at the end of the first period astonished him by presenking a bill for SO marks. The young man knew very little German; he could read only the figures; but he refused to pay, and appealed to the police.

He then dcovered that to the stipulated rent of the room his grasping landlady had not only added exorbitant charges for the use of aimost every a rticl of furnitnre which It contaiued, but had actually demanded 12 marks for the storage" of his trunk in his own room! This, of course, is an instance of exceptional avarice, and I mention It only as a vivid illustration of the dangers to which a stranger may be exposed. Another thing to be borne-, in mind is that the rent rrus from the first day of the month; and that if a lodger intends to give up his room, he must give notice to that effedt before noon on the 13th day of the momth preceding. Never take a room with an iron stove; It gives out an intolerable heat while the fire is burning, and as soon as it goes out it becomes cold again. The porcelain stove, on the contrary, slower in heating ihe room, continues to diffuse a mild and pleasant warmth for many hours after the fire is extinguished; and is therefore more economical, as well as more agreeable. A single heating costs 30 or 40 pfennigs (8 to 10 cerwa), and I don't remember that I have ever, even in the coldest days, required a second fire.

A native German student in Berlin spends, on an average, for his food and lodging about 100 marks (say $2Ti per month; "but his thor ough knowledge -of the language, and his acquaintance with the usages and habit of the people, givo him a great advantage In this respect over the foreigner, who is more apt to spend 150 or 200 marks for the same objects. Brit let ns suppose that he limits him self to 120 marks will amount to 360 a year. To this nvust be added the cos of lectures, already reckoned at $100, and of the necessary books; which, however. is comparatively light. In Germany it is the ta4eat novel, or the most recent and gaudily- fflnatratftd record of African adventure, which costs; the mines of sohd information which are contained in the standard encydopediaa and technical treaties, may almost always be procured at a moderate price.

Then there is the quarterly visit orthe tax-gatherer to be remembered; and iTilaumiress to be paid; and car fares will likewise form a not-lnsigniticant figure In the account, for Berlin Is a city of maerniftcebJt distances, and wallklng would, in many oases, involve nov only too great fat gue, but too serious a loss of time. Most Americans will need, also, to take lessons In Ger man, which costs two or three m'irks the hour. Altogether, I cannot persuade myself that it Is wise, or even safe, to estimate the yearly expenses of an American student in Berlin, with strict economy, at less than six hundred dollars And this applies only to young men, studying at the university- for the numberless young women who come here to study rauslo or art, the expense is necessarily greater. No young lady who to not willing to "rough it" a Mt.Me can get ber room and board for lass than 110 to 190 marks per month; the rent of a piano will be 10 or 12 marks more; and for four lessons a week In InstFusneoltal or vocal music, snd In Ger man or Italian, she must pay from two or three to Gen, or svetn fifteen marks each, ac cording to the celebrity of the teacher; that feOTa-IF1 te ISO -BJarlw or more, monthly. BIG AND LITTLE.

Men and Women We Meet in the i Vortex bf Life. i i A Bright Newspaper Woman From the Physicians in the Flatbnsh Hospital A Contemporary's Severe Censure Dress Re formers Not Going to Parade -1 3Trs. Martha Tracy Owler, of the Boston 'HeraTu" staff, la closely allied to some of the bluest of the country's literary "sangre azul," and was surrounded with a literary atmosphere almost from her birth. Her girlhood was psI3sed In the family of her guardian and groiwiAuher, the Rev. Dr.

Joseph, Tracy a celebrated litterateur and divine whose connection wfth tha press both in New York and Boston is weU remembered by the older readers of the present generation. An admirable foundation for her newspaper work was Mis. Owler's prior experience as principal of txvo or three large schools. A keen student of human nature, there was much that was enjoyable to her in; that capacity; still, there waa too much of monotcmy, loo much of sameness, in that profession to content her. As soon as she was old enough to grasp the meaning of pencil and paper, her delight was to hide herself in a great) upper room of her guardian's pleasant home, whose outlook was the ocean, and spend hours gazing first at that, then writing quaint tittle imaginative dtorfes.

"While a student the original and beautiful arrangement of her English In composition and" essay attracted much attention from teachers and mates. It is not quite three years since Mrs. Owler commenced work what it is evident is the vocation or which- nature has especially adapted her. Her first work was on a suburban paper the Atalden Mirror' at the re-Qjuest of whose editor she took ojarge of Out lying territory, and wrote letters full of life nice pictures and valuable information. In a very tfew months she was sent for by the then city editor of the Boston "Hernia," and was asked if she was willing to lend herself to the Crying of an experiment -by that great daily the experiment being, as the buslnesB.

UUe editor pot it, "to see wihether women could "cover given territory as quickly and as efficaciously as men could." i rTVir-h the uoinraeging energy, quick, business inslgiht, delicate perception, and sunny disposition, for which Mrs. Owler is distinguished, she entered hoarttly into tha work, and for nearly a year) "wtered," in newspaper par-kinee, district cocipririirg a city and four towns, giving everyohing social, religious, governmental, political, legal or professional regarding them In such a manner as secured i the most gratifying results, often driving alone into Boston aj distance of some miles over dark bridges, and in storms after midnight, wifh the late? and trueat news. Although of firm constitution, the constaaEt action from-whloh she allowed herself almost no rest, was too wearing for her, and she was transferred from the district department the only woman who had ever "covered" such a department on a Boon daily paper to the "Herald's" special general staff. Her letters to the "Herald" from through which she traveled aud from the Passion Play last summer, hav been in great damand; so have her art sketches for another Boston publicatfion, written over a nom de plume. She has an intense love of the really beautiful in art, and although shs has never posed as an art critic, her articles have been quoted from and copied in New York and other papers as art criticisms.

Scholars' have said that her language, in Its pudify and power, is like that of Washington Irving In addition to her work on the Boston "Herald" staff, llrs. Owler edtog the social department of a suburban paper. She is also an occasional conuritnUo'r to other publications, and is the author of a fascinating art Urography that will soon he given to the pubTTc. A brilliant future is predicted for he. Kate Feldr says: "Advice gratis is the nuisance of the nineteenth century." Josh Billings goes her one bettor by having said: "There is (enough advice lying- around loose to run three just such worlds as this." "Why is it thaf.

women who have failed hi a half-dozen trades and callings, think they would succeed aa "writers'? "Will some one please answer this conundrum and oblige; In the past two years there have been nearly four hundred maternity cases in the Flatbush Hospimi without a death. This speaks well for the skill of the physicians in charge of that ttnstlrutfon. especially when -one considers that the youngest mother was only 13, and the oldest 45. "TVnr Hi AH to Pieces" is tttie leader of an editorial in laist- week" "Recorder" on the Park place horror and the Tammany rulers of New York City. The esteeiaed contemporary says: "justice were; oh in its ijraorant, reeling way, and the crime of Park Row repeats itself in the crime of Park Place.

There is but one rextrews, and. thaft is to hoM rhe svs-tem a fa.u2rt, an tear it all Co pieces! Why shut the eyes to flhe fact that these unspeakable disasters are caused by the cupidity of la milords and the connivance of corrupt offl-oiafel If we had a city government which could or dared to govern. If we had- a Mayor Whose interests were those of the people, and not of some hnvwfling drunkard awassin, or bsillot-box gruffer with a "pull. claiming recognition: if our municipal lords were ha power for anything else than what they can make, there would be no such crime as this of Park place. "Lett the rfsiwnsSbiUty be driven home! For this crime let there be no expdntion! The criminals will be found among those In "vu-thoriifv.

I. have bee, thus tediously minnte, because I have imagined that these details, which I have gathered; from many sources, and the ex actness of wbfich I have spared no means to secure, might be of practical use to some of my young countrymen and conntrywomen; end because know from personal experience howi welcome a little precise informacion often is iri such matjbers.

Goettingen, with its ceiebraited library of 400.000- volumes, is distinguished by its devotion. te anatomioil studies; Bonn, for its philological investigations; Halle, for Its agricultural seminary; and other universities have in like manner their various specialties; bnt -Berlin stands proudly at the head, and combines within itself the advantages of all.
