private life is pure and blameless, and has

No stickler for Ceremony.
Christian, the venerable King Of Den
mark, fulfls in most respects the popular
ideal Of . constitutional sovereign. In the
main he leaves the management OF affairs
to Estrup, his Prime Minister, who, Is Q

The Danish Court is much given to show

is usually accompanied only by two collie
dogs
The regard in which his people hold him
, il deep and sincere, and as he mingles
freely among them on these daily walks
they often buttonhols him and submit their
differences to him. The King listens with
patience to the evidence given on both sides
while his dogs lie down on the sidewalk
until the case il clSsed and the judge has
given his decision. In this way many
lawsuits are avoided and the King often
laughingly remarks that he does more busi-

He Hates Court Receptions.
When it is over Alexander returns to his
correspondence and to the public docu-
ments which have been prepared for him by
his Ministers Each document is inspected
with the greatest care before it receives his
signature. At dinner he is again united
with his family. The meal is an elaborate
and delightful affair and sociability and
good will always prevail thereat Simple
In his tastes the Emperor has deep-seated
aversion to court receptions and fetes and
avoids them as much as possible. Often, to
please his wife, who dearly loves dancing
ahd gayety, he will appear at the opening
of some ball or fete, and then hasten back
to his cabinet for quiet evenings talk
with some favorite Minister or General.

and he is often seen there in the winter. He
is devoted to art in a mild way, and num-

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcR.I
A singular discovery has been made by
Dr. Lauder Brunton. By an accident he
found out the secret of how to have ideas at
will One night, after long days work,
he was called upon to write an article. He
sat down with pen. ink and paper. and,
IS has very often happened before under
similar conditions, not single idea came
into his head. He then began to reason
and to attempt to find why the brain which
was apparently the same as 1t was the day
before, when it worked normally, should
refuse to respond to the dictates of the will.
He arrived at the conclusion that the day
before he was not tired, and that therefore
the circulation was brisker. Continuing
his eogitations he traced the connection be-
tween cerebral circulation and mental ac-
tivity, and concluded that If the blood
would not come to the brain, the next best
thing would be to bring the brain down to
the blood. And this he did. The happy
thought of laying his head fiat on the table
suddenly flashed across tho seat of the late
inactivity, and at once his ideas began to
flow and his pen ran swiftly across the
paper. The work progressed 80 we'll that
Dr. Brunton thought he might a. we'll sit
up. But it would not do. The moment he
raised his head his mind reverted to blank
ness, so he had to put down his head again
upon the table and finished the article in
that position.

quits the harem for the selamlik, where he
receives and passes upon the reports con-
cerning court affairs At 10 his chief Sec
retary and ministers appear. bringing with
them the reports and dispatches for the day.
The Sultan receives his officials seated on
sofa and while dispatching business with
great rapidity makes final decision only
after every detail of the matter in hand has
been fully explained to him. While at
work he smokes constantly, and during his
waking hours is seldom without his cigar
ette. A little after noon he discusses q
frugal lunch of meat and vegetables He
always eats alone, and all his food is pre-
pared by one man and sampled by the chief
chamberlain before being placed before him
this is to prevent the Sultan from being
poisoned.
An Evening in the Harem.
Lunch over. he goes for walk or row
accompanied by one of the dignitaries of his
court, and usually takes about two hours'
exercise in the open air. Then he returns

goes for another walk. His dinner, like his
lunch, is very simple.
After dinner he again receives company
in the selamlik or retires into the harem,
where he finds pleasure in the musical per-
formance of his daughters He himself Is q
fair performer on the piano, but he has no
taste for the arts in general For women he
has no especial liking. He has but four
legal wives, the number obligatory upon q

accordance with the customs OF the land are
all the time increasing in number, have
frequent cause to complain of his coldness,
but he il devoted to his children and warmly
attached to the members of his family. Like
q true Turk he never touches spirituous
liquors, but is isinordinately fond of sherbert,
ice cream and sweet meats Ten O'Clock

Germany's Restless Emperor.
William. the restless, imperious, stiff
necked young Emperor of Germany,
plunges with zest into daily routine that
would break the health and spirits of an or
dinary man. Autocratic by nature, and a
lover of power, he is still man of simple
and healthy tastes. He loves the pomp
and show that form part of his imperial Of
fee, but his private life is one of hard
work and great simplicity. He is an early
riser, and when in Berlin always breakfasts
alone with his wife, the Empress Until
o'clock his time is given to affairs of state.
He dimes at the hour named, and SO closely
does be cling to old burgher customs that
all court dinners are now held at that hour.
In the afternoon be walks, drives or
rows with his children, to whom he
is devoted, and to whose education
he gives the grestest care. Tea is par
taken of at five, and after an early and
frugal supper the Emperor retires to rest.
He is fond of music and D ainting, and is
himself fair painter. He reads all i'm
formances at the theaterA
He delights to gain knowledge at first
hand and is always ready to meet anyone
who has an idea of interest He loves to
study his people in the same way. When
traveling-and William, it will be remem-
bered, is an indefatigable traveler-he often
goes about in the evening incognito and
with single companion. If on these trips
some amusing adventure befalls him his
pleasure is complete. Yachting and hunting
are the two pastimes in which the Emperor
takes the keenest delight

Hard Worked Emperor Joseph.
Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, is
very strict and simple in his habits. Though
he long since reached an age at which the
ordinary man seeks rest and repose, his life
Is still one of severe and unremitting labor.
In the summer he rises at and in the win
ter at 6. After a rapid horeback ride in the
Prater or the Hafreitschule and a hurried
and scanty breakfast, he goes to his Cabi-
net, where he reads q review OF the press,
prepared daily for his exclusive use, and
containing condensations of all references
to his empire that appear in the Austrian
or the foreign papers, and then with his
Secretaries turns his attention to his cor
respondence.
This occupies his time for several hours,
and when it is finished he receives his Min
listers, inspects and signs the documents
which they bring him, and discusses in de-
tail the affairs of their several departments
Twice each week he gives audience to the
general public The visitor is ushered into
a study, where he finds the Emperor in .
plain uniform without single decoration.
Here he can speak his mind freely, assured
of patient and careful hearing. The En-
peror's recollection of faces and incidents
Is marvelously accurate. Eight languages
are spoken in his dual kingdom, and he is
the fluent master of them all
The Royal Couple Love Privacy.
About midday the Emperor eats frugal
luncheon, usually alone. Then, unless his
presence is demanded at some review or
public parade, he returns to his correspon-
dence and is busy with it until late in the
afternoon. HI dimes about z, and the even
ing is given to reading, or to an occasional
visit to the theater, of which he is very
fond. Finally, before retiring, he mentally
reviews the work and decisions of the day,
and if on second thought he concludes that
he has made mistakes, he hastens to correct
them. Both the Emperor and his wife love
privacy and retirement, and especially has
this been true since the unhappy
death of Crown Prince Rudolph.
The Emperor goes through his social
duties in q lifeless and perfunctory way,
and always seems relieved when they are
ended.
Shooting in the, mountains is his favorite
psstime, and he is famous as one of the best
marksmen in his Empire. During the semi
annual maneuvers in his army he delights
to camp among his soldiers, to address
them in the different idioms which they
speak, and to smoke with them long Vir-
gInia cigars in which both he and King
Humbert of Italy take intense delight Ten
o'clock, summer or winter, finds the EN-
peror in bed.

spain's Baby King Alfonso
King Alfonso of Spain, born after the
death of his father, is now healthy, lusty
boy of si1, and gives promise of splendid
manhood. He is now with his mother, sis
tiers and attendsnts at San Sebastian.
Here he rises at Z, and after his bath and
toilet goes for an airing in the park. His
breakfast on his return consists of a simple
fast he goes back to the park, and until mid
day romps and plays with the other children.
Promptly at noon he dimes with his
mother and two sisters, all the rigors of
Spanish court etiquette being observed.
Then the little King sleeps until 4, when
he Is awakened for the state promenade, in
which he takes great delight Walking or
