Romping Games at the Tuileries. The emperor and empress were exceedingly hospitable and kind hosts, anxious to amuse their guests, but for this purpose unfortunately romping games were often chosen, which, though certainlly undignified and ill suited to those beyond school years, had not, however, the character attributed to them by public report, nor the licentious freedom believed in by the Faubourg St. Germain and contemptuously sneered at by its aristocratic inhabitants. The mistake lay in doing on a large scale what ought to be tolerated only among intimate friends and very young people. But the mean ingratitude of those who enjoyed all the generous kindness lavished on their guests by the imperial hosts, and then disfigured the truth to sneer at them with their enemies, was too contemptible to be even mentioned with patience.

In the Tuileries Under the Second Empire," by Anna L. Bicknell, in Century. Ice Tombs In the Alps. A skeleton has been found in the fissures of the Ademello glacier, in the southern Tyrol, which is thought to be that of an American tourist of the name of Ruth, who disappeared 1 in 1890. These fissures cleave glaciers at all angles, and it is very easy to slip into one of them.

When once in it is hardly possible to get out without outside help. And the warmth of body melts the ice around, so that the victim slowly descends by his own weight into the depths of the glacier, and generally starves to death. On looking into these fissures the most beautiful play of light in blue and green and rainbow colors is seen away down. But these are best enjoyed from the safe vantage ground of the upper, outside world, rather than down in the depths and close at hand. In some instances, it is said, bodies have been preserved down in these fissures in the ice for years.
