noting the progress made by the

tensive and growing patronage.

store eleven years ago, and the
members of the present firm had
been for three years engaged in the
meat business in their present loca-
ton.
The stock consists of all classes
of heavy and fancy groceries, fresh

in country produce is offered for

A STRENUOUS RULER.

The Emperor of Germany usually rises about five o'clock, and is generally to be found in his work-room at six. First there Is served to him a cup of tea or bouillon and a sandwich. Then, lighting a cigar, he reads over such clippings from newspapers and naga- zines published all over the world as are deemed worthy of his attention. At seven o'clock the emperor Is ready to receive the reports of his adjutants and the ministers of state, and to this work he usually devotes some three hours When the person who is to have an audience is admitted to the room and makes his bow, the emperor, who receives standing by his desk, slightly inclines his head in response, and says, Please" as signal for his visitor to begin, listens attentively to what he has to communicate, but never makes any comment The substance of all the wis., itor has said, however, is contained in the paper that he invariably hands to the emperor's secretary at the close of the audience. These papers are num- bered in accordance with the order of their receipt, and after the visitor has departed the emperor usually writes upon the formers communication d terse direction to his secretary, so that, If there are in connection with it any papers to. be prepared for the imperial signature, they may be ready to hand in the file when emperor and secretary begin their afternoons work.-Every- body's Magazine.
