genie or r ranee recently celebrated
her KOth birthday at the residence
where she pussed her exile from her
native country, she bade fair to ful
fil! a prophecy made by a Gypsy wom
an at Madrid in 1839 that she would
liv somewhere about 100 years. She
enjoys rcmirkeble health, and is able
to get about the house, although suf
fering somewhat from lameness for
many years. Every day she is taken
out in a bath chair to enjoy the open
air, of which she is extremely fond.
The Empress often entertains visit
ors, mostly rlitives, and with her on
here birthday were Prince Napoleon

she has had apartments fitted up for
a number of wounded Britifch officers.
and she paid a visit u them on the
day oi her anniversary, and spoke to
them of their experiences at the front,
for she exhibits keen in let est in the
war. On several occasions she has
invited small parties of the less se
verely wounded among them to din

appears to Kivv had lenuirkable ef

is told in connection with a Hlight ac

and one day when romping slid down

Princess, whose mother was bewailing

As a matter of fact, whether the
Gyppy knew it or not, tho girl who
was to become Empress of France
was born at Grenadu'in a tent in the

taken refuge during an earthquake.
The Princess herself was rathor su
