BERLIN, March THE latest bulletin an
nounces that the Emperor has improved and
was able to eat a few oysters and an egg. and
drink little champagne and sherry. He feels
stronger and converses with those who are
about his bedside. He raised himself to
allow his bed to be made for him. His pulse is
easier now. having fallen from 1l6 to 90.
A M.-The bulletin at this hour states that
the Emperors voice is SO strong that it could be
heard outside OF the room in which he lies. The
papers here are full of the subject of the EN-
perors illness. and allude to hardly anything
but the possible changes arising in the result Of
the Emperor's death.
The Improvement in the Emperors condition
continues. He is sleeping soundly. and his
breathing is regular. He has taken substantial
food and appears TO have good appetite. He
was given oysters and egg and little cham
pagns and sherry. His pulse has fallen from
1l6 to &C. When awake he is fully conscious
showing an interest iu what is passing around
him. He asked the Grand Duchess of Baden,
who sat by the bed, whether she had already
dined, ana with whom. and then asked why
she had not dined with the Empress He ex-
pressed regret that he was causing SO much
trouble Whether not the improvement in
the Emperor's condition 10 permanent will de-
pend on how he passes the small hours. Many
of the Princes have no left the palace.

DIET FOR STUDENTS.
Beef, Mutton and Eggs said to BE Better
Than the Lighter Foods.

Than the Lighter Foods.
What shall a student eat? No qucs-
ton has been discussed more than diet,
especially food appropriate for those
living sedentary lives. BY following
the preceding law and giving the body
chance to digest its pabulum and
properly assimilate it, the problem
largely solves itself. The student can
eat and digest a very general and gen.
erous variety of foods. A poor digest
err will soon find he can eat nothing
without suffering. Dyspepsia is not
the result of rich food, but of undi-
gested food. Give your stomach the
best material and time to work it up
and you win have no trouble. Greasy
foods are no worse than thin soups and
dietetic tastes. The only rule for diet
is to partake of concentrated food, and
such an amount OF it as you propose
to take time to digest Beef, mutton
and eggs are better than lighter foods.
The digestive organs do not need 10 be
relieved of work. but accustomed to
work. and given time to work A
stomach fed on fancy nothings loses its
power as surely as an arm that never
performs any work. Still worse IS the
use Of drugs to help the stomach TO I'M
load. Healthy exercise is pleasant ex-
ercise. in the case of the stomach az
otherwise. | believe there is by no
means so large a difference in the di-
gestive power Of different individuals;
the difference is more largely in habits
OF digestion. Fretting, or anger, or
hurry will upset the strongest stomach

nor can it enjoy digesting pie-crust and

and the drunkard to seek the saloon.
In the case Of the student, time enough
