The Emperor has . good appe-
lite, for he takes enough exercise 70 keep
his system In good order, and he walks
and rides great deal. Everyone knows
the infirmity of his left arm. IL has been
withered since he was q boy, and It 10
about four inches shorter than his right
arm. In tho taking Of his photographs
he is always very careful that this arm ID
not prominent In the picture, and he IL
rather sensitive in regard TO II. He
often carries It 10 tho breast Of his coat
or on the hilt OF his sword, so that II Is
not noticed. He gets along wonderfully
well with one arm, and his right hand,
as one of his friends said to me the other
day, is like ham and has the grip OF .
prize fighter. He has patent knife and
fork, made to slide into ono another,
which he uses at the table, and which,
to certain extent, supplies tho loss OF
his loft hand. He Is said to be very
good shot, and he handles tho gun very
wcll. .~-->
He has q bcautifuf homo and he Is
very fond Of his children. He has five
children, all healthy, bright and good
looking, and the little Grown Prince,
who Is now about ten, Is an officer in the
German army, and he puts on as many
airs as his father. He often rides with
his father, and his father makes him
obey him and salute him just as one Of
his soldiers. When he Is at home, how.
ever, he is father among his children,
and they crawl all over him aud play
with him just as though they werc
American babies In an American home.
He has good rules as to their training.
They rise with the sun aud go to bed
about seven o'clock. They have prayers
and they have their schooling just like
other children, though the oldest boys
are under tho care Of military tutor
and are waited upon by men servants.
The two youngest have an English gov
erness and are taught to speak English
and French as well a. German. The
Emperor pays u great of astention TO
their recitations and heldevotes q great
OF mis- time to the subject Of tho common
schools of the empire.
The Kaiser is hard-working man and
his daily life is as full almost as that Of
newspaper reporter. He gets up every
morning at 2 o'clock aud takes cold bath
and at 80 he and the Empress break
fast together. His breakfast is q sub
stantial one and after 1t he goes to his
Office and looks over his mail. Ho gots
vast number of letters, which arc
weeded out by his private secretary, and
matters Of any importance are reforred
directly to him. He passes upon things
quickly and decides most affairs on the
spur of the moment. He has routine
for the rest of tho day after his mail and
his time is laid out for weeks in advance.
lIo keeps strict account Of his time and
he allots just 80 much to exercise, SO
much to amusement and so much to
business. His exercise is taken in con-
nectionswith bu,itsoss ana hg;is as rcgu-
lar rs clock work about everything. He
takes his luncheon about 3 o'clock, and
that is the ordinary German Luncheon Of
soup, roast and dessert with vege-
tables, aud now and then with fish
thrown in. The children sit down with
the Emperor and tho Empress ut lunch
con and shortly after 1t is over the En-
peror again goes to work. Ho spends a
great deal of time in the saddle, aud
scarcely day pasres TINT he doesn't go
to visit somo part of his army. He has
his dinner at 6 o'clock and this is u
full dress affair. After it he drops the
cares Of State for q time and romps
with his children and now aud then
takes little exercise. At 10 O'Clock he
has his supper aud after this he works
about an hour in his study and then goes
to bed, and he makes it o rule to get
seven hours sleep every night. He sleeps

and ho is, 1 judge, abcit five feet ton
inches high.
The Kaiser is very religious man.
He goes to church, aud he has services
in tfe open air with his troops and he
put down gambling iu his regiment when
he was in tho army before ho became
Emperor. He is doing all he can to de.
velop the moral condition of his people,
and with all his idiosyncrasics he has
many good points. understand that
he is very genial man in private and
that he throws off his dignity when he is
of duty. He has no frills or furbelows
about him at such times, and his whole
face lights UP when he talks to his
friends. He has way of winking at

that he means it. He is full of personal
magnetism, and though it is hard for q
king to have friend, believe that tho
"Little KAISER" as he is c,lled, has his
friends here In Berlin. His best friends
are men of solidity and nerve, and rs for
the Emperor himself, there is no doubt
Of his having his full share of courage.
He showed this when he dismissed Bis.
