A PRINCES BREAKFAST.


Court of Prussis.
Until Prince William. the oldest son
of the Crown Prince of Prussia, had
arrived at the age of fifteen, h. had 10
study daily from nine to twelve a. m.,
a pause of quarter OF an hour being
allowed at eleven for breakfast. Tho
Prince got regularly piece of white
bread, with such fruit AS was in season.
DIR. D, his tutor. got beefSteak, etc.
! for breakfast. The savory smell of
the meat always seemed to raise feel
! ing of longing in the Princes breast,
, and his eyes would often wander from
his own modest repast TO the smoking
plate of his tutor. The latter also felt
a certain amount of embarrassment in
thus raising envy, or a similar feeling
to it, in the heart of his pupil The
stern discipline which regulated even
the meal times and recreation did not,
however, allow of the slightest indul-
gence. One day the lesson, both IN
German and Latin, had been done in
splendid style, and Dr. D. felt the
laudable satisfaction of an instructor
when his pupil does honor to his teach
ing. "Casar de belo gallico" had
been rendered with spirit when eleven
O'Clock struck. A servant entered
with breakfast on silver tray a
smoking beefsteak for the doctor and
basket with bread and grapes for his
princely pupil, who, as usual, did not
fail to east stolen glances at his
tutors plate. Prince, said the
Doctor, carried away by his
good humor, I'm great lover
of grapes; suppose we eXchange-you
eat my steak and your The doc
tor had not time to finish his speech
before his pupil had taken the steak,
with the brightest of faces. Both
teacher and pupil were enjoying their
exchange when the Crown Prince en-
tered the room. Perhaps both eaters
blushed, but the father made no remark
but merely inquired as to how his son
had learnt, and was rejoiced to hear
the doctors good report At twelve
o clock, as the tutor was about retiring,
a message was brought that the Crown
Prince desired to speak with him.
Doctor said his Highness, "explain
TO me how it was that the Prince ate
beefsteak and you a cold breakfast"
The tutor put the matter in the best
light, as n joke which his satisfaction
with his pupil had caused him to make
Il allow the joke for this once, said
MS Highness, "but | wish the Prince
70 aecustom himself to see these ar
for your comfort without
,nvy, and also that he should be salts
led with the food given him, which
lllows of an alteration in future years.
Wat will he require at twenty if he
ongs for beefsteak for breakfast nowP
Bread and fruit are wholesome and
ully sufficient for boy of his age"
When breakfast was brought next day,
he Prince did not look away from his
late. "A splendid bunch of grapes"
aid he to himself; "a wholesome and
Ncellent meal, which prefer to your
eefsteak, doctor. - Christian Union.
