The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-01-15

Of all the royal personages Of Eu-
rope the first Up in the morning is the
emperor of Germany Winter and
summer he rises at O'Clock His
habit is to make a very hasty toilet,
swallow a big bowl of cafe au lait as
he hurries on his clothes. Then he
goes out for half an hours ride ac-
cOmpanied only by a couple Of officers
Of his body guard. Immediately on
his return he sets himself down to his
desk and is not to be disturbed till II,
when he dresses carefully, appears at
lunch with the empress and the chill
dren. Then the public life Of the day
begins. He receives ministers. ambas-
sailors, generals, reviews troops. makes
speeches, pays a few rare calls, con-
ducts himself. in fact, like normal
every day sovereign.
The emperor of Austria, old ana
broken spirited though he be, IS fairly
active. He is up at O'Clock and break
fast on cafe au lait with q couple OF
rolls Of Vienna bread
The melancholy car is late riser
He is seldom about before 10 O'Clock
when his valet brings him a cup Of
tea. served in the Russian fashion with
sugar and lemon. The queen Of Eng
land is not as regular in getting UP as
in other details of her life. In her
earlier DAYS she was always called at
the respectable hour of 1880; now that
the years have accumulated over her
head she takes her ease and gets up
when she feels like il. Sometimes
that means s o'clock, more often
g. and sometimes as late as half
past ten. She generally absOTbs a
couple Of tiny cups of tea the first
thing: gossip says she adds. after the
continental fashion, a half teaspoOnful
Of fine cognac to the beverage.
TIE LATEST Of all the royalties is the
unspeakable King Milan Of Servia. he
is never afOOt before i o'clock
When he rises he sits down half dressed
TO lunch, a solid Tepast Of heavy
meats and buildings and wines After
lunch he smokes a couple of cigars
he likes them very strengthen, if
there is nothing very pressing to be
done. he goes to sleep as the fancy
takes him. About 5 o'clock he is up
again and generally goes out in search
of amusement. He is very seldom back
at the palace till dawn when he tum-
bles, usually semi-unconsciOus, into
bed. lie is not an edifying monarch,
King Milan Of Servia.
A Lost Sport.
Hunting used to be called the sport
of kings. but not many Of the degener-
ate modern crowned heads keep up
the old tradition in this respect. The
car occasionally assists at a battue,
but the thing bores him and he goes
only out of pOliteness. The Prince OF
Wales is a very good shot and is fond
Of grouse shooting, but his big game
DAYS are over. The emperor Of Ger
many hunts and shoots a good deal,
but those who know MIN best say ne
doesn't much care for the sport With
him il is a matter Of tradition, the
right thing for royal parsonage TO DO.
The King of Portugal, who holds the
record for fairness among all the royal
ties. is physically disabled from such
violent exercise. The king of Sweden
never touches a gun. The sultan OF
Turkey cannot bear to see one Inc
king of Belgium has shot only once IN
his whole life. and then in very IN
kingly fashion. He wanted to have the
sensation of killing without the trouble
of going in search Of his game. So he
sat in an armchair and ported at a
lot of rabbits let loose from bag IN
front of him. AS the frightened little
beasts scattered in all directions. the
king blazed away from his armchair
When the smoke cleared away and has
majesty called for his bag. he had 10
be told that all that had been found
was one tail aldaa certain small GUAM
tity of fluff He never went shooting
again
The king of Italy is the only real
cOntinuer of the old kingly tradition
He is a mighty hunter and frequently
throws up all the routine of work with
out word Of warning and goes off
