In the court news Of the first Easter liOl-
iday was the announcement: After break
fast the emperor and empress Yent out to
hunting was accompanied with some cu-
rious and interesting scenes. The general
field marshal, Count Moltkc had been in
yited by the emperor to take part in the
sport, and appeared i'll the afternoon at
Castle Bellevue with a big basket of col
ored eggs. The emperor and empress and
the old field marshal hid the eggs, and
then followed the little princes about in
the shrubbery to watch them capture the
gay prizes. That lasted three-quarters OF
an hour
At length the children were called in and
the empress hid some mugnifcently deco
rated eggs for the great Moltke himself
The famous s1rategist concentrated every
one of his wits on the egg hunt. Indeed,
be was not ashamed to pick his way on his
hands and knees through the flower gar
dens, where the empress had concealed
most OF the eggs. He worked conscien-
tiously till almost o'clock. AT G the Pc
dcstriuns in the Thieryarten saw the en-
peror and empress leave the castle with
Moltke in his carriage close behind them,
On the seat beside the dignifed field mar
shall was Il big basketful of fancy coloreti
eggs Every one stared at the eggs and
wondered how they got on the same seat
with Count Moltke, but few, if any,
guessed that his venerable excellency had
earned them with the sweat Of his brow

"A Duke Who Was a 1,ootmaher.

The late DUO de Montpensier was in many
ways remarkable man, and his career was
full OF excitement. He had fine type of
Bourbon features, a tall and dignifed figure,
and determination which was unhnppily
exemplifed i'll the sanguinary duel in which
he killed his cousin, Don Enrique de Bourbon.
The king, his father, brought nll his sous up
to a trade, and the Due dc Montpenser was
an admirable bootmaker. His name will be
recorded in history in connection with 'the
Spanish marriages" for be married the sister
of Queen Isabella II of Spain, in which coun-
try the alliance was very coldly received.
His daughter was the wife of the late king of
Spain, and another daughter married the
Comte dc Paris Tho due was the sixth son

Exercise with Heavy Dumbbells

The busy man Of sedentary habits who
wants exercise is always advised to get light
dumbbells or Indian clubs. Now, this is a
very common error into which tho amateur
falls-light clubs and light dumbbells will do
for the professional athlete, the man who
spends hours every day at his exercise, but
they are not for the man who is willing to
give up only fifteen minutes in the morning
and fifteen more at night to the hardening OF
his muscles He can get with a five pound
club and five pound dumbbell the same
amount of exercise in fifteen minutes that he
can get in half an hour with clubs and bells
weighing half that. And that is what the
man wants exactly, the greatest amount of
exercise in tho least time.-New York Tele-

Hints to the slcepless.

How many hours sleep do you requirei
No rule can be laid down. Jeremy Taylor
thrived on three hours, and so does Cardinal
Newman. Many eentenarians contented
with five hours; but some of them require
eight or nine. But there are two rules of
sleeping which everybody may adopt with
out hesitation. 1. Never let yourself be
awakened by anybody else, but wait until
you have slept out your sleep 2. Get up as
soon us you are awake. If you follow these
two rules, the hours of sleep will very soon
regulate themselves. If you read yourself to
sleep, you should read a heavy book, not
light one, a dull book is good, stupid one
is better. Some persons recommend cup Of
beef tea--just to amuse the digestion.-St.

Mount Shasta has an elevation of II, 400
feet. Its summit is continually covered
with snow, being frozen solid in Hlistening
white It's ascent is difficult and tedious,
but not dangerous. To see it properly an

become acquainted with the great Butte.
One should study it bit by bit, day after

would dawn upon the mind. The average

Turner is troubled with insomnia, and

in the water. In this way Turner was res

For this he was summoned before Judge

Beautiful smiles only play the cheek over

Beautiful thoughts tlll their daytime with glad

Beautiful dreams lu]l the happy to sleep.
