AN ExPEHoR's MODES OF LIFE.
Kaiser williams Ways at Home--At
the Opera--Receptions.

Emperor William does not smoke ntI
take snuff. Neither does he wea spec
tacles. When reading or writing he
uses an eyeglass, although he does not
wish TO admit that his sight is growing
weak. His majesty sleeps as soundly
as the healthiest of youths, and never
takes q rest during the course of the
day. lie also receives standing up in
his salon, after having changed his
old uniform for a more correct one.
Should he receive a prince who has
conferred on him the purely honorary
command of a regiment that bears his
name, his majesty always wears the
uniform OF that particular regiment.
In this ress ct there is never the
slightest ~derogation from the rigid
rule of etiquette. Hence his majesty
has frequently to change his uniform
three Or four times within an hour or
two.
The emperor was always distin-
guished for his excellent courtesy and
%gallantry. And now, although nearly
90 years of age, he bestows on the
empress the most delicate attentions.
He loves to go and spend an hour at
the opera, which Is quite near, but he
never disposes Of his time during the
evenings without first consulting the
empress. Every evening they take
tea together, and the emperor is never
absent himself without having first
acquainted the empress of his inten-
ton and receiving her permission. 1t
is during dinner, which takes place at
six O'Clock, that his majesty decides as
to how he shall spend the evening.
These dinners are of the simplest kind,
never more than three courses, and
the repast rarely lasts more than half
an hour.
When the emperor receives permis-
sion to pass the evening in his own
way, lie may be seen at the opera,
not in the grand reception box, which
occupies all the centre of the hall, but
III an avant-scene of the first story,
where, near the actors, he can see
better and can catch every word.
The official box is filled with chamber
lains in grand tenue, officers in brilliant
uniforms, and ladies of the palace in
gorgeous toilet, while the emperor him
self, in his plain uniform, bows and
smiles at the aristocratic ladies and
distinguished DANES in the body of the
house. When the play is over, which
IS generally a little after nine O'Clock,
his majesty returns to the palace; he
takes a cup Of tea, and at ten O'Clock,
if more important receptions do not re-
tain him in the apartments of the en-
press, he retires to rest like a simple
workman, satisfied with his days toll,
and ready to resume it again on the
following morning.

sheep appear to take on fresh vigor and

liable to be overfed. With food before
