victor Hugo's Daily Life.


 In spite of his years he is still hale and hearty; he eats we'll and dainks well, and his only infrmsity is deafness. On Thursdays and Sundays, which are reception days, the post goes to bed about 10 o'clock; ca other days he retires at g or 9;so, and in the morning he worka in bed and rises about 10. He break lasts lightly, walks, end, in spite of the sup lications of his family, he occasionally indul- yes in his old distraction of ridicule on a knifaboard of 'bus, Whatever the weather. Victor Hugo still ehstinately refuses to wear an overcoat, and, old as he is, he persists in abundant cold water ablutions; but he no longer takes his ''tub'' as he used to dur;ae the siege of Paris, when he used to break the ice with his heel on cold uaarnings. Victor Hugo still works, but, of course, not very much; hs has bolster and pillow placed ct the foot of his bed, so ss to receive the light directly from the window, and pencil in hand, passes ST hluf or two every morning in alassssying and correcting his unpublished works In prose and verse. He hss in nanu- script half dozen plays, several volumes of verse and two yoluIaes of philosophy, which will be published after. his death. And SO the old poet lives, surround ed by his family, by his children-Jeanne and George, the latter big boy of seventeen, who is going to Be pafnterand by his faithful old friends, Paul Mearice and Augusts Vaequerie, who tell the old man ea days when he is weary and thinking of the end, that he must try to live until 1889, so that the opening of the universal exhibition and the centenary of the great Revolution may be presided over by le vieux Hugo."
