Dissipated Women ON the Stage.

Dramatic Notes in Brooklyn Union.
There are women on the stage who drink like
men. There also some who swear like men.
OF the swearing women it is unnecessary to
speak One night the leading lady who no
longer occupies the position. appeared at
theater famed for its fine audiences, in such
state that she could scarcely move across the
stage. The habitues of the cafe saw instantly
that she had been drinking brandy. When she
audience saw that she had been drinking some
thing. The fashionable gathering murmured.
The actress knew that her weakness was dis
closed. She was strong woman physically, and
she summoned all her powers to throw off the
influence that oppressed her. People who knew
her state, said she never acted so we'll as on that
night. Her acting deceived her auditors They
were led by it to disbelieve what they had seen
and she retained her popularity. Some time she
will probably find herself in the same position
as Mr.. Booth.

moneys worth. And it is astonishing how much
one can get for his money. For instance, DIR.
Luthardts lectures, four times q week for five
months, cost Sc. 12s, and others in like proper
ton. The cost for naturalization is between So and
So. which includes all the processes of red tape.
One also pays mark for the 'krank -haus," or
hospital. which gives him the privilege of free
attendance and medicines in case of his sickness.
One course of lectures every matriculant must
subscribe for, though not necessarily attend.
AS many as he has time for he may take in any
and all departments unchallenged. He is treated
as man who is supposed to know what he Is
about and what he wants. This appeal to stu
dents manliness works well. The decorum of
lecture-room is perfect. The students are ex-
pecteG to be IN their places before the professor
appears The moment he enters all converse
ton is hushed, the students bend to their work
of copying the words, wise or otherwise, which
fall from his lips If any belated man ventures to
enter the room after this work is beguns an ON
inous scrapingo f the feet covers him with confu-
sion and bids him beware of like intrusion again.
The lecture never begins at the designated hour.
but just fifteen minutes later. This custom
arises from the necessity of time to make the
changes from one lecture room and one building
to another. 1t is universally understood and at
quarter past each hour everything is ready and
quiet
But am afraid shall bore you by these mi
mute and prolonged rectals.
The social customs of Germany strike an
American somewhat with establishment There
is no conscience about Sunday. Not that good
people have eonsciences, but they have not
learned that conscience has application to Sun
day. For instance, at tea-party lately, where
the tea was wine, at the house of Leipzig pas
tor, the daughter of reverend professor and
clergyman asked me in the naiyest manner
whether / attended theater on Sundays. | ex-
planned to her that in America this would not be

my father prefers not TO have US go to the thea
ire on Sundays" Here was. perhaps, an in
stance of the most evangelical household life in
the city. The ponds and river are covered with
skaters on Sunday, from the most reputable
households of Leipzig The most famous con-
certs and operas are given on Sunday evening"
and that is the time for the most brilliant par
ties. Yet the people are not, for the most part,
doing such things wickedly, but from education
and habit, in a sense of conscious innocence
