FEMALE DOCTORS IN EUROPE.
4 correspondent Of the Bumd OF Berne has
lately summed up in successive letters from
Zurich the present results oi the mucA-co,l-
:cstcd 'Datne1.studiu:u." It is HOW exactly
tcnycars since the first female student claul-
orcd ut the gates, or rather since the Medical
Faculty opened the gates to her; for shr had
been attacking them By = diligent prosecution
Of the medical course. She WIS ayoung Rus
sieu lady. The University Of Zurich, Oh tho
l4th Of December, 1857, conferred upon her the
dignity and rights Of Doctor Of Medicine.
Doctur or Do:tress Erisrnaun las since
practiced medicine with greatsueccss-drst
alone, and later Us the wife and partner
,f a medical man. Twelve young ladies'
have followed her example, all Of them stand
mSS the test OF ths severe examination With
ladies has received FROM the Medical Faculty OF
the University tue degree OF Doctor Of aieai-
riue, Surgery, and Midwifery. sx Of these
graduates were Russians, two were English
women tsuss Morgan, III 1s7o, and hiss Atkins,
tn 1872, one was Scotch woman, one IN AMIR
lean, one Swiss, and the remaining two were
Germans. The American, yulln:, lady from
Boston, passed with great applause, and her
public disputation before receiving her degrees
On the I'D Of June, 1871, created much auini-
ration. After short but very promising prar-
tice, she lost her life By shipwreck In the Allan
tic. In 1877, when Zurich had hraycd the worst
Of the storm Of ridiculc una anger, tho Cniver-
Eity Of Gottingen found courage to stand Mt her
Side, and the first female acudcnlcai student in
the Netherlands passed 1 successful cxamina-
tion In physics and mathematics. The two
Latest, kussinn from Jaroslaw and Fraulein
Fra1lziska Tiburtius, from the Island Of Rugen,
in the Baltic, have just maintained their thcsis
and been admitted to the dignity aud rights Ut
the doctor's dcgrec- The thirteen ladies who
have received medical degrees hare exhibited IN
undoubtcd vocation for the profession. The
extraordinary pressure Of female students with
which Zurich was threatened ut the beginning
OF the movement has now subsidized, mud Is not
likely to rcrur.
WHAT a WEAK WOMAN CAN DO.
She can SIT at the open window OF railway
ca11iage with stiff northeast wind blowing In
that chills everybody in the vicinity to the mar
row, for two hours in a thin muslin dress, with
out fiuching.
She can dance or waltz down the Captain Of q
marching regiment and at The II O'clock sup
per put away lobster salad, icc-crcam. cham
pagne, cakc, and coffee, without tlinchtng, suf-
lideut for weeks nightmare to q strong man.
She can comb her hair all back so as to leave
the roots OF it to the full play OF q December
breeze, auu wear bonnet On top Of a chignon,
leaving ears and head exposed With impunity,
with tie thermometer 10 degrees below zero.
She can pull over $1,000 worth OF dry goods
for the investment Of 50 cents

In the presence Of those who desire to hear her.
She can balance herself on the bali of her great
toe and g shoe-heel the size Of dime all day In
the public streets without falling.
She can occupy three seats III a horse-car md

standing up.
She shows unusual strength and firmness In
the holding Of real estate, solitaire diamonds,
aud other valuable property which her husband
pisces In her hauds previous to compromising
with his creditors for 20 cents on dollar.-Bos-
