AN ARMY OF OFFICERS

From the Paris Matin.
 The park surrounding Hghcliffe castle is well guarded To the right, to the left. in front and behind, one caught sig--- of strange profiles whose identity was easy to guess. The very gardeners collecting the dead leaves and raking the paths were evidently more accustomed to other occupations.
 How many police are. there?" I asked my guide.
 lover a hundred"
 When we entered by a small side door way the tic-tac of a telegraph instru- ment was the first thing that met my ear.
 There are three and telephones as well,' a telegraph operator told me. I've don't stop working all day. Dis patches are going and arriving without cease, because the Kaiser sends his offi- cial correspondence almost entirely by wire In addition. two special messen- gers leave for Berlin every day.
 On arriving at the kitchens my guide told me he was going to introduce me to fellow countryman, M. Terrail, F'renchman, who has charge of the inn perial cooking.
 What does his majesty like?' l asked. At first M. Terrail wished to entrench himself behind the ramparts of profess sional secrecy, but yielding to fellow countryman's importantly he relented so far as to say:
 His majesty likes everything that is light. He eats very little, but often. He is very partial to fruits particularly pears favorite dish is cold fat pull let One day I sent up as sweet strawberry souffle, which his majesty liked so much that he deigned to ask me the recipe"

 At length we reached the private rooms ,,sed by the Kaiser. First came the library, with thousands of books and the newspapers of every country.

 Tt is in this ante-chamber" said my guide. s'that his majesty's suite meet be- fore meals The Kaiser is living here in the greatest simplicity, but he insists all the same on etiquette being observed. Nobody enters the dining room before the Emperor. If his majesty deigns to smile everybody smiles, if he has frown on his face nobody says word.
 ..At dinner the Emperor wears evening dress with decorations, generally the [ Golden Fleece, the Black Eagle and at the knee the Order of the Garter. As soon as his majesty has taken his place at the table the imperial suite sits down. His majesty gives a sign to the house stew ard and the meal begins.
 During dinner the Kaiser drinks gen. orally orangeade, lemonade or cider, and tea at the end of the meal, but no liquors."
 From the dining room we went to the private rooms of the Kaiser First of all was bed room decorated simply and in good taste. An empire bed of great his 9ozicd value constituted the chtef. furni-
