THE EMPEROR'S HABITS.
Intonating News About ths Batty X-ITa or the
Dtad German Belcr.
The habits of the Emperor William are
thus described by the Berlin Tagblatf.
At 7 o'clock in the mernlngc valet entered
the emperer'a bedroom wltb a small cop of
tea, which hla majesty drsnk before he
arose. In former years It was bis custom
te rise when he lelt that he bad alept long
enough, and te go at once te hla dressing
room, bnt recently, npen the recommenda
tion of bis physicians, be made it bis habit
te lie in bed for an hour and a-hslf after
waking. At 830 the emperor quit his bed,
and with very little assistance, dressed
himself. He had three personal at
tendants, who took turns in waiting
upon him for twenty-four hours at a
time. Tnese were bis wartrobe-mae,Engle,
and hla two valets, Ukermaiker and
Kransr. At I) o'elock tbe kaiser went te
bis library, where be breakfasted usually
en tea and toast. On Tuesdays and iTil
days breakfast was served about twenty
minutes earlier than uiunl, and by 0 o'clock
his msjesty was in bis study, where he re
ceived the report of tbe president or poller.
On ether dav tbe empeier did net begin
work until 0:20. His first business was te
open letters and sign documents Punc
tually at 10 o'clock rierr von Wltmewski,
theoblefef the civil cabinet, arrived for a
brief Interview, and from that hour audi
ence succeeded audience until 1230, wben
the emperor took his second breakfast.
Tbia Invariably consisted of a basin el
plain soup and some meat of an easily
digested kind. Tbe menu for breakfast
and for dinner was drawn up by a physi
cian In consultation with tbe cook, and
then submitted te tbe emperor, who gen
erally made some slight alteration, but
there Is no foundation for tbe stories that
bave been told of hia Inordinate fondness
for bot-belled lobsters and crab. Tbe
doctors ordered the kaiser te drink a glass
of geed old Berdeaux with his breakfast,
aawell aa wltb bla dlnner, but tbe em
peror cared little ler wine, and compro
mised tbe matter by deluging tbe Cbateu
Margeux wltb natural aellzsr water. When
tbe guard waa ebanged tbe emperor seldom
failed te appear at the well-known window
of bis palace te return tbe salutations of
tbe crowd whleh was alwaya assembled
without. Alter the second breskfaat there
were mere audiences aud Interviews, until
It waa time for' the emrerer te take bis
dally drive. He usually returned at about
3 o'clock and resumed work. Between 3
and 5 tbe higher officials of the empire bad
audience, aud at 6 dinner waa announced.
It lasted one nnur, and immediately after
ward tbe emperor went back te bis study,
wbere for au hour he read tbe newspapers
of tbe day, or bad passsgea from tbem read
te him. Ai7beerdered bis carriage, audit
be bad nothing mere Important te de, went
either te the theatre or te tbe opera. He
bad alwaya been a great lever of tne drama,
and waa very unwilling te allow anything
te Intertere with his evening'a enjoyment
of It, yet he bad for many years, made it a
rule never te go te tbe theatre while ib
body of one et tbe leaders of bis armies or
of any old political servant lie unburjed.
Wben tbe emperor returned from tbe thea
tre tea-was served and some tlme spent In
soelal conversation, but at about 10 o'clock
his msjesty went once mere te bis study te
give attention te any pressing matters that
may bave come up during the day. Wben
he bad dealt wltb these he weut te bis room,
and at 11 o'clock tbe valet of the day left
blm, taking avtny tbe lamp and leaving a
lighted night light en the table by tbe bed
aide. Tbe emperer slept uncommonly well,
and tbe twinkle of tbe electric bell which
rang In tbe neighboring room, in wnlch
aat the valet en duty, was very seldom
beard during tbe night
The kalanr liked te have a vase filled
with corn-flowers en his study table and
declared that It there be no corn flowers
there would be no work done. Flowers
for this vase were therefore specially grown
in a forcing-beuse at Petsdsm all tbe year
round. Fer making marginal notes upon
public documents tbe emperor used a long
and very thick nenell. This also had te
lie- epeciaUy-prepaicd-fer blm-but-fr-
years ue used an erdtuary carpenters
pencil, and be only relinquished It wben it
was represented te blm that tbe aeltness
et tbe lesd caused his writing te smear
and beoeuio Indecipherable. Hia Msjesty
neuner smexea nor toeK snun, ana any
spsre moments that might beat hiadlspesal
during tbe day were spent with tbe em.
press, in whose presence be wis alwaya
most punctilious and attentive. At tne
time of the attempted assassination of tbe
emperor at Nebllng, in 1878, tbe empress
was In very bad health, aud abe was un
able te go te her husband's room until some
days alter tbe event. At last she dragged
herself down stairs te bis apartments,
ejaculating. "Hew bappy Iaball be te see
tnee again t ' tub Kaiser, wutae room waa
full et officers, and wbeBe deer was open,
beard her, and laughingly shouted, 'Well,
come along, wile I come along!" aud wben
tbe empress appeared both burst Inte tears.
