The Eclipse.

On no other occasion does this dis
play of tremendous power in the
economy of the physical universe ex-
ercise so subduing an influence over
the mind or produce so humiIiating a
conviction of the impotence of all hui
man efforts to control the immutable
laws of nature and arrest the course of
events as when the glorious orb of day,
while riding in the heavens with un-
clouded splendor, begins to melt away
from an unseen cause, and soon totally
disappears, leaving the whole visible
world wrapped in the sable gloom of
nocturnal darkness. The scene is rem
dered still more impressive by the cir
cumstances accompanying so remark
able M occurrence. The heavens as.
sumo IN unnatural aspect which ex-
cites a feeling of horror in the specta-
tor; n livid hue is diffused over all ter
r~estrial objects; plants close up their
leaves, as on the approach of night;
the fowls betake themselves to their
resting places; the warbling of the
grove is hushed in profound silence; in
other words, universal nature seems to
relax her energies, as IL the pulse
which stimulated her mighty move
ments had all at once stood still. -SiF

AN eMPeRoR.s DIETARY.
Description Of Francis Joseph's Foot
aAa KitcbeA.

oA9 AltG8G1s
The emperor of Austria is q pious
Catholic who keeps as strictly on his
fasts as he does on his early rising. On
such days be abjures all meat and con-
tents himself with fsh-a dish that,
like mutton, is a rarity in Vienna-and
various kinds of omelettes. His
majesty takes his fish preferably
with buttered potatoes. His cuisine
Is peculiarly Viennese, and 1t is only at
court and state dinners that the French
menu has any chance. The Vienna
kitchen Is closely allied to the Ger
man in the simplicity and want of "a
riety in the dishes, and by the "done-to-
death" character of the meats, but Is
decidedly more tasty and inventive,
"Kaiserschmarrn" and the dumpling-
like "Knodel". having q worldwide ce-
lebrity. His majesty, like his subjects,
prefers large helpings at the sacrifice
of variety, and has a particular weak
ness for a dainty sort called "Frank-
forter NIT Kreu." 1t may be called his
speciality.
In summer the so-called second
breakfast 10 omitted, and the emperor
contents himself with the five o'clock
breakfast, consisting of q cup of coffee
and a little "kalte Aufage" (slIced cold
sausage, ham, etc.) His majesty sticks
to his desk for the next seven hours
with scarcely an interruption. At noon
stuck" consisting of q soup and a slice
of roast. At half-past two is q dinner
Of six courses, comprising soup, fish,
two roasts, pudding and al dessert. His
majesty likes beer, but partakesof both
beer and wine very sparingly, although
the wine Is changed for each cover.
Liquors are also served. The emperor
drinks preferably dark Bavarian beer;
half q pint Is his quantum- When he
has risen from the table Kaiser Franz
Joseph has finished his eating for the
day and touches nothing more, even
when in the evening he attends a thea

An EcenomIoal Emprs...

The empress of China was to have
celebrated her slztieth birthday with
great pomp and lavish expenditure of
money In November, 1894. In conse
quenee of the war with japan she issued
a proclamation that the festivities had
been given up. because they would
seem ungracious in view of the suffer-
Ing caused by the war. This proclama-
ton did much to endear her to the
hearts of her subjects. This year the
emperor decided to have the deferred
festivities on November 3. and about
S4oo, 900 was put aside for the purpose;
but again the empress gave her veto,
on the ground that q better use might
be made Of that sum.-Chicago Inter
