THE EMPEROR'S DAILY BREAD.

He Insists on Much Variety and a Secret Italian Recipe. The German Emperor is fond of variety. even in such small matters as his daily bread. Thus he takes for breakfast a small white loaf, the top of which is powdered over with salt, and which accordingly goes by the name of salt bun. After it he consumes a half penny bun, known as the “Lucca-eye.” For his sandwiches he requires yet another kind of bread, made of the finest Vienna flour, and baked till the outside, which is afterward cut off, is quite black. At dinner, with the soup, so-called “brothstifkß,” are served. They are made after an Italian recipe, which is the ooo»-at of t.ho court bakers.
