Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1884-05-29

etc. Ho is a man Of medium size,
dark hair and eyes and short black
whiskers. He is a genial, good
natured man and necessarily loved
by his students. He is some As
years old and likes to joke. He is
courteous TO foreign physicians, and
sometimes asks me to remain after
the regular clinic and see him oper-
ate on special cases, and takes pains
to show how he does the operation.
The next man as noted teacher
here is Prof. Arnolett. He teaches
pathology by the microscope. Doc.
tors from all parts of the world
come TO him to receive instruction
in diseased tissue. Prof. Erb is
probably known TO America by his
writings more than any other man.
He teaches and writes on nervous
diseases. | never saw q man who
could make a diagnosis and demon
onstrate it with such originality and
clearness as DIR Erb. The patients
are very numerous-probably 500 or
600 on hand all the time!
The university was founded in the
l4th century and has a very cele-
brated history 1t is very strict in
its examinations. The professors
are paid a certain amount by the
government, but most of their liv-
ing comes out of lecture fees, so a
poor professor receives poor fees as
few students attend his lectures,
while the noted professors cannot
lecture all that apply to him. The
university consists of great num-
Der of buildings in different parts
of the city.
Heidelberg was founded in the
18th century and is one of the most
beautiful cities in all Germany. 1t
is situated on the banks of the
Neckar river, extending about u
miles along both sides of this stream.
1t has narrow, crooked streets, and
high buildings. 1t is city of stone.
Sidewalks, streets, roofs and walls
all are stone. The streets are swept
twice week, Wednesdays and Sat
urdays. Daily the debris deposited
on the street is picked up. There
are not many horses used. Oxen
are not used to work. They are
not economical enough for a Dutch
man as he wants an animal he can
utilize III as many ways as possible.
So the COW, being capable of giving
milk and butter and of reproduction,
is worked. She is not yolked, but a
piece of iron is put across the fore
head just below the horns, and
traces or tugs are fastened to this,
and thus the pulling is done by the
head and neck. They have char
acteristic large dogs here which are
also put to work
The higher classes of Heidelberg
are Just AZ refined and cultivated
people rs exist anywhere. They are
a good-looking race of women, and
retain their beauty until later in life
than American women Heidelberg
morals are very good The city is
surrounded by beautiful, high, or
ange- shaped hills which are thickly
planted with all kinds of trees; in
fact, all trees are planted in Germany.
Germany has surplus of men.
There are three men in every place
where two could do the work. The
Germans are a drinking and eating
people. They drink beer before and
after meals and also between meals
AS a result they become very corpu-
lent early in life. 1t is very rare to
see a German drunk. They are
generally skeptical men. The Ger
man scientist is stubborn skeptic
except on facts. lie will not believe
any conclusion to which he can not
reason without rent or flaw The
churches are mostly attended by
women. The German, however,
ennobles and dignifies every branch
of knowledge into a science They
have a very lively Imagination and
hence are charmed by music. Phys
ically he is awkward and spasmodic
in movements. He is generally very
quick tempered and nervous. There
is characteristic solidity about the
Dutchman and his work, and he is
quite free from egotism, much more
so than the English. On the whole
they are a happy and contented race,
good cultivators of all branches of
learning, and liberal in its distribu-
ton. May such live long and pros
per. +. &. ROBINSON.
