Field-Marshal Von Moltke. now 84 
years old, is in the habit of rising early. He 
works till the hour of his simple dinner,' 
having always his snuff-box uear him, as was

smokes some, too, but usually only in the 
forenoons. His afternoons are given to pay¬ 
ing or receiving visits, and his evenings to 
whist, a favorite pastime which the old soldier 
did not intermit even in the smoke of the 
Franco-German war.
