Nothing could bo moro magnificent than tho nppenr.incc of everything np 'pertnlnlng to the court on nil public occiuslonB. Tho balls, ospccltilly, In the 'various splendid rooms, particularly In tho lmmenso "S lie des Marechaux," wero a sight not to bo forgotten, from tho first entrance, atad ascent by tho great staircase, adorned with flowen and fihrubs', whero on each Btop stood two of the "Cent-gardes" (tho emper or's body-guard) as motionless aa stat 'uea. Nothing wbb moro remarkable than tho drill which en bled thoso men on nir'occaslons when on duly at the palaco to remain without 'moving n muscle. Tho fatlguo of this Immoblll- ty Is said to bo so great that It could not bo endured beyond a certain tlmo; but it was'so eompleto that to come suddenly on ono of these guards in tho palaco wrs positively sturtllng. It 'waB senrcoly possible to believe that . they wero nllvo. They were all ro- mrtrkably fine moiisub-olnccrts chosen out of various regiments, and when the 'war came they proved that they were not merely parado soldiers, for thoy flg urod among the best and bravest troops. Ono d y tho llttlo prince, when a young child, In tho hupo of making ;tho sentinel move, poured a whole bag ot Bwects Into his boot, but without 'eliciting any sign of llfo from tho mlll 'tary statuo before him. This play of the child being mentioned' In tho pres- ouoo of Col. Verly, who commanded tho regiment, ho declared that nothing 'could make ono of his men tuovo when on duty. Tho emprcsn would not bo Mlove this assertion, and finally laid a ''wager that she would contrive to m ko ono of tho guards move. Col. Verly having accepted the wager, the em press went with him Into the neighbor ing gallery, where they walked back ward1 and forward before tho sentinel, tile 'empress trying by every means to attract his attention. Tho guard Htood as If turned Into stono. Col. Verly smiled. The ompresB, with her char acteristic Impotuoslty, then went straight to the soldier, and, according 'to familiar speech, "boxed his cars' .Not a musclo moved. The empress then acknowledged that Col. Verly had 'won tho day, and sont a handsome com pensation to the Boldler, who proudly ,. refused It, Baying that ho was sufli 'clcntly compensated by having had his 'sovereign July's hand on his cheek!

It Ib as sumed, .that when Kdlson adopted tne ', slxtep'n-candlo power staudard for his 'lamp" he took what was probably a very" good average ot tho Illumination "given out by five-foot gnB burners the country over. But during the last flf . teen years the, gaa standard httB been raised through' Improvements In mnnu 7jCantyre, ''and whereaB twenty-candle sa$,w. s onco seldom scon, the larger 'cities of this country now average well 'un in turAntv.flvn-rtniwDp p.ib Tli litlh yJIc has not been slbw to seo this, and 'mow demands a unit of light at least eipial to tho prevailing standard gas unit. The central stations, fortunately for them, re llze tho situation, and tho ;uoe ot high economy lamps Is growing. Jt 1b noted, too, that the time-honored 00 hourB of life la not nearly so often finRlBted on as formerly. Indeed, tho poclfic requirement uow commonly mado la.for-a.lamp that will maintain !lta candle fcower at high economy for "from 300 to 400 hours.
