How The Czar lives . The Csar's method of life has changed a great deal since the last attempt on his life". He only leaves his palace now when business requires it, and then usually in a close carriage Accompanied by six of his own mounted escort (Circassians.) He rises about seven o'clock . While dressing he is informed ss to what he had done on that day the previous year, what uniform he hgd worn, whom he had reaeited, etc. Ho -then takes tea, and receives the Prefect of the citX| thq Minister of the Imperial Court, add other dignitaries: After walking fbr some time up and down | the spacious rooms he withdraw* into hie working cabinet, end then pays a visit to the sick Empress, never omitting at the same time to visit hi*, daughter, T" - -V3» -

At twelve o'clock breakfast is brought in, which the Emperor usually takes alone. in hi* cabinet. 1 he other members of the imperial family resident in the Winter Palace are ulso in the habit of taking breakfast alone in their ,own rooms. After breakfast the Emperor usually take* a drive, but always with a definite purpose— either to attend parade or pay a visit to some ipember of the imperial bouse. Returning to the palace, he spends the time until dinner either at work or visits the Empress or her children — < mo*t frequently his daughter, with < whose children he loves to clmt and t play. Dinner is laid precisely at 6, but since the catastrophe of February 5. never in one particular room, anu all the members of the imperial seldom sit down together. An exception to this, however, ire the grand (so-called) gala dinners. In those the Emporor sits down with all the members of the imperial family and tho foreign ambassadors at one table, the service being of gold. Tea is served at 9. After the Emperor sometimes plays a short game, generally whist, with the persons nearest to him, and retires to rest at late»t at 11. — pnila. Papir. The Baby . The baby is a revolutionist. He ruthlessly upseu established customs, breaks i A on confirmed habits, and sways despotic command in his realm. There can be no conservatism where there is a baby. Ho is u radical of radicals, and lie seems to have a hydrophobic horror of anything and everything that savors of the old order of things. He i* an indefinable compound of arrogrnce and amiability ; is amusing and exasperating; tyrannical and condescending ; affable

and dictatorial. When ho suck* hi* fist* and protrudes his cheeks, or forget* his autocratic state in the engrossing effort to din© off hi* too* or the house cat's tail, he become* an object of curious and affectionate interest. When he learns to creep and takes it into hi* small head to try the effect of overturning a kettle of hot water on himself, or ah enperiraental plunge into the cistern, lie excites rather more than a mild solicitude, that is equaled only by « the emotion* he arouses when he munnges to get hold of the paternal razor with tho evident intention of trying its edge on hi* tongue. Such manifestations of eccentricity a* a heels-overhead tumble down stair*, pulling the table cloth off for tho delight of hearing the china crash, mutilating your Sunday coat with the newly ground family scissor*, or making the souls of horse-car drivers quake by his squatter sovereignty predilections in favor of the track, soon lose their terrors on the principle that familiarity breeds contempt. If there is any danger hear or remote, into which h© has not prqjectftd himself before he roaches the ago of two years, he is of a veritv the far-famed "most wonderful baby in the world." But it Is the monthold Imby to whom (or which) the grownup world pays profound©#! homage. The acntest observers of human nature must fail of anything liko Intelligent rlaaafflmtion of him.* He Is a law unto himaelf, inexplicable, elusive, never of the same mind on two occasion*, and n creature of most doubtful issue in respect of 4k intentions about permitting a

Worn- Weather Diet . The first warm daya are fruitful of oomplainta about the failure of the appt tile. Breakfast* no longer rvlitb, dinners afford but a languid interest, and suppers seem superfluous. Only vigorous workers out of doors, or young people who are so blessed a* not yet to have made the acquaintance of their stomachs, conic to the table with a real zest for food. And it is no wonder, ©on sidering how fow people have yet learned the art qf altering their diet to suit their own conditions and the state of the season. The spring appetite fail* and ought to fail before ham and egg* or a great piece of steak, on these ener vuting first warm mornings of the year. Rich soup*, heavy meat*, and all stimulating and blood making articles of diet, that met a real want in the nipping and eager air of winter, are as much out of place now as the furs and ulsters. And yet many a person who would think it a sign of lunaqy dress in the Decernyj. * <Loee nat sw- " w in >- 1 (to.. — w j

— ' '®k oloUlin® and tijtht houses preserve it for the comfort of the body in winter. Yet men who know enough to dump their furnaces, open the windows, and lay off their overcoat* on the advent of spring, are stupid enough to keep on stocking their stomachs at full blast, and consider themselves "out of sorts" and ill if nature resents the abuse. It is time to let up on the cold-weath-er diet— especially for persons doomed to live iii-doors. A mould of well-cook-ed oat-meal, served cold with cream and sugar, with two or three oranges und a cup of coffee, make an adequate and appetizing breakfast. All fruit* and vegetable* obtainable fit in well at this season. Th© many preparations of the small grain* afford a variety which is well to studv Milk and eggs and tisit v..ii«in all the needed food-eTemruis for a diet for a month or two, with such sugur and starch a* tho house-wife combine* in the toothsome light puddings or other dessert*. Whether wo eat to live or live to eat, we ought to be rational enough to dispense with food when not hungry, end to tempt rather than force tho appetite. — Golden Rule: Useful Knowledge .
