APaInce of SiIenee.

Away up on the hill that overlooks Ma
Piles stands the Carthusian monastery of
San MARITIME. The monks who onceinhab-
tied the glorious paIace-for it is moth
ing less-were men Of noble birth and
vast fortune. The church is now one Of
the most magnificent in Italy. Agate
jasper lapislszuli, amethyst, Egyptian
granite and fossil wood, together With
marble Of every tint, are so blended in
mossics that line the whole edifce, and
the carvings are so rich and graceful
that the interiors of some of the chapels
seem like Eden bowers transfxed by a
miracle and frozen into stone. And in
this spot lived o brotherhood who came
from the first circles OF society and
buried themselves in this gorgeous tomb,
for it was little else. The monks took
vow Of perpetual silence, lived apart, ate
apart, and met only for the unsocial
hours of prayer, when each was wrapped
in his own meditation, and no one ut
tered syllable. Each of the little cells
where they slept had small window or
closet communicating with one Of the
corridors, and in this closet was placed
the frugal meal which was then taken
into the cell and eaten in solitude.
Every quarter Of an hour bell struck
to remind the listeners that they were so
much nearer to their death. In the
garden the railings are ornamented with
marble skulls, and the only sounds that
used to disturb this splendid solitude
we're the tread of sandaled feet, the rus.
tie Of long white robes or the clang of
the bell that tolled off their solemn lives
in brief moments, that yet might have
seemed long to them. These monks,
like most others in Italy, have been
driven from their retreat and all their
treasures confscated by Victor EN-
manuel.

knows Of the Wars Of the Roses iu Eng
land, when the two rival families of
York and Lancaster fought fer the
English crown, the house of York having
for its badge the white rose, and the
house of Lancaster the red.
Many of my young readers have heard
Of the language Of flowers, in which peo-
pie can hold conversation with each
other; for instance: A white rose is
the emblem Of silence; withered rose
Of any color, Let us forget and yell
low rose, Despair" and so on. A rose
handed to person means one thing
when handed upright, an other when its
position is reversed. With its thorns it
has certain meaning; without them,
still another. Among these Eastern
people-the Persians, Turks, and Hin.
doos-this language of flowers is so per.
fectly understood that, by means Of
bunch Of their favorite roses, long con-
versation may be carried on without a
word being spoken. This suits these
people, who do not like to talk very
much, but who are, nevertheless, very
romantic, dreamy and poetic race. -Lily

dinary being. 1t is said that be tasted
of food but once day, and then at din
ner time, when he ate enormously. To
prepare this meal to his liking, ten men
were regularly employed in his kitchen
Among them we're four chefs-the rotis-
seur, the saueier, the patissier and the
officer. The business of the last was to
superntend the preparation of the des-
sert, the ices, and the confitures The
dinner produced by this staff of skillful
artists was not only exquisite in its ma
terial and appointments but every dish
was chosen with regard to its special
adaptation to the Princes health. The
essence of everything that was nutritious
was presented in the form most d.
gestible by an in6rm stomach. The
prince was accustomed to taste Of every
dish placed before him, following each
mouthful with sip of the finest wine.
1t was said by those who knew him that
the prolongation of his life was owing to
the talent of his cook rather than TO that
of his physician. The prince was pos
sessed OF an immense fortune, and the
expense of his living was unrestricted
His cook was allowed to spend an un-
limited amount on the table, and was
frequently asked why no lerger sums
were used. The prince was the only one
of the whole French nobility able to
maintain the luxury common among
them before the revolution, and his table
was unequaled in France in cost and
elegance.
The capacity of Talleyraud to live
upon one meal day was matched by
his ability to do without sleep His
pulse regularly intermitted, pausing at
every sixth beat, and to this strange cir
cumstance he ascribed his habitually
slight need of rest. Two or three hours
at most were all that he gave to sleep
His bed was made with deep slope in
the middle, rising equally at the head
and at the feet. At four he will 90 to
bed, sitting nearly bolt upright in his
bed, with innumerable night-caps on his
head to keep it warm, as he said, and
feed his intellect with blood, bat in fact
to prevent his injuring the seat Of
knowledge if he tumbled on the ground;
and he sits upright from his tendency to
apoplexy, which would no doubt seize
him if perfectly recumbent, We may
remember the newspapers stating he, was
found few years ago, his head having
dropped from his pillow, so drowned in
blood that no feature was to be seen.
Although he goes to bed so late, at six
or seven at latest he wakes and sends
for his attendants.
