| The youths are OIten anaelnlc ana Qel
 icate they are pushed very hard a
 their schools) but later they develor
 into robust adults They do not in
 cline to active, healthy sports, like the
 young people of England and the Unit
 ed States.
 Germans boys are at their schoole by z a. m., and they work like beav.
 CTS. Their vacations are short, they
 live a sort of treadmill life and nearly
 every German boy "goes to the uni
 verslty." So many enter the univer-
 sities that the government is strongly
 considering the proprlety of limiting
 the number of students, for there seems
 to be so little field for the thousands
 which yearly come forth from the great
 universities. The supply of highly leducated young men in Germany far exceeds the demand, and 1t is said that the number of students will decrease,
 as very many will, instead of entering | the university, commence their career
 in commercial industries.
 Germans seem to have fair-sized fam | flies, larger than the average in United States and France, not so large as one
 meets with in England or the West Indies. In the latter I have known l many families of ten and fourteen children, and not infrequently of sev- enteen children, and knew of one 1 happy family of twenty-seven young people,
 It is. a pretty sight to see the little l children drawn about the streets of Dresden in most peculiar little peram- 1 bulators, the nurses in many eases are 1 from the "Spree-wald, whose dwellere are descended from the ancient Wends. | These nurses are of very picturesque appearance. They dress in very high | heeled shoes; skirts of which they wear twelve or fourteen reaching just below the knee and standing out like huge bell, a gaily colored bodice and very short sleeves and most won- drous headdress. of nearly half a yard in diameter. They look much as if some of the pretty waters colors at the l Dresden gallery, had suddenly stepped from their frames and commenced walking about the streets of Dresden. T1ere are titles and titles in Germany, in fact they are as countless as the stars, from Herr and Freiherr up to Konig they are legion. Woe to the German who does not address his fel- low by his proper title. There was not long since a law prosecution and a con siderable fine imposed resulting from a citizens emitting to address another citizen (by letter. by his acknowledged title, and the fine was paid, too.
 Ladies are addressed by the titles of their husbands e. g. Frau Professor
 nOntnr -, and so on ad infinitum. A gentle man told me not long since that Profes- sor - of Vienna had come to visit him and had the previous evening de- livered lecture. and The was dressed in his uniform and wore sword!" It is astonishing how many uniforms are here and still more sQ, when one hears of the very great number who are privileged CD to wear them.
 Dresden is a great railroad center, and the Saxon government are erecting grand railway buildings and magni- fleent "Bahnhof'' or railroad station. They are expending 7O.OOO0oO marks.or nearly eighteen million dollars!
 Before closing let me refer to the Hospitals for Ladies, These are private and fitted up in the most ap- proved manner, and situated where the air is pure and the outlook is magni- ficent q speak of Dresden), their gar dens are most beautiful and restful An American lady who spent six months at one of these private lSliniks, told me that the charges were just one third of the charges of similar institu- tions in tho United States. I fear I have already trespassed to far upon the patience of my readers, the cus- toms of various countries are very in teresting and I know not where to stop; after all have mentioned but very few of many to be noticed here every day.

 For the benefit of any who may chance to spend a Sabbath in Dresden, I vii mention that Hoffman's studio on | Bismarck strasse CNo. 8, I think) is | open for visitors every Sabbath from 10 | to 1 o'clock. Last Sunday went there after morning service, there met that l aged, godly painter, and he with cour- teous manner showed us his wonderful | of our blessed Lord. | This Marriage at Cana" is a truly | wonderful rendering. Christ and the Rich Young Man." is a grand subject l and the painting is most life-like. Hoff- man was four years painting this won derful picture. Christ Preaching On the Sea of Geltlle," Christ with Mar tha and Nary. are powerful paint ings, and in all of the noble artists works are seen the peculiarly beautiful face of our Lord, I asked him how he obtained such a heavenly expres- sion on Christ's face, and learned that prayer had much to do in obtaining the result He is now finishing d large i, head of Christ which is much admired. The expression of the eyes is very wonderful Whenever I read the 5th chapter of Mark, verse 35 to 43, shall always see before me Hoffmans studio with the powerful and very touching representing Christ Raising he Daughter of Sairus" The express sion on the face of our Master is some hing which is not of the world we i've. in, 1t is heavenly. And then the I poor father with clasped hands and juch an anxious look on his face, do- ng his very best not to "be afraid, but
