Heretofore when visiting New York We
have always stopped at a downtown hotel;
but this time, for a change, thought we would
try an uptown house, and put up ut the
Grand Union. corner Of Fourth avenue and
Forty-second street.
1t is needless TO say that hereafter We will
take no more downtown hotels in ours
when stopping in New York, as We have
found it much pleasanter and agreeable
stopping up town. The Grand Union,
which is run nn the European plan, with
prices TO SUI all sized purses-having
rooms ranging from s1.00 day up-is 4

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

Emperor William does not smoke n'
take snuff. Neither does he wear spec
tacles. When reading or writing ne
uses an eyeglass, although he does mol
wish to admit that his sight is growing
weak. His majesty sleeps as soundly
as the healthiest of youths, and never
takes a rest during the course OF the
day. He also receives standing up IN
his salon, after having changed MS
old uniform for more correct one.
Should he receive 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 OF 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-
tion and receiving her permission. 1t
is during dinner, which takes plaza 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 hall
an hour.
When the emperor receives permis-
sion to pass the evening in his own
way, he may be seen at the opera,
not in the grand reception box, which
occupies all the centre of the hal, but
in 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 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 Ike a simple
workman, satisfied with his days toll,
and ready to resume 1t again on tht
following morning.

Percy Smith, writing on the liability
of trees TO be struck by lightning says:
"The suggestion that oak trees are
struck because they contain iron is both
erroneous and absurd. Ifoak did contain
iron it would in all probability increase
its conducting power and act as pre-
yentive. If oak contained an estlma-
ble quantity OF that metal the wood
would turn black on exposure to the
air on account of the tannin which is
present. The blackening may be seen
surrounding the iron nails in any oak
fence. The contour of the ground,
nature Of the soil, and the presence or
absence of water have more influence
in deciding the locality of an electric
discharge than the height Of tree.
Add to this the difference In conducta-
bility between various woods, and We
have at once an explanation of the ap-
parent popularity Of tall trees escaping
unharmed while shorter trees are de-
srtoyedD

Fs,o persons, perhaps, are aware that
they possess pair of harps. They are
called the organ Of Corti, after their
dlscoverer, and are located In the ear.
They are estimated to have 500
strings, being Of course, microscopic,
and varying in length from 1-500 to
1000 of an inch. If you hold a prop
erly tuned violin near a piano, when
the E string is struck the E violin
string will ylbrate and sound too; 50
with all the rest. Now, the 500 strings
of the human ear harp have such a
wide compass that any appreciable
sound in the universe has the corres-
ponding tone string. and the sound is
conveyed through the connect filament
to the auditory nerve, thence to the
sensorium, and thus knowledge Of the
sound is received BY the mind.
