Would the Emperdr Resign?

An exchange tells a story which may
be taken as a fresh manifestation of a
certain well—known Scotch character-
istic: _ .

Upon his accessron to the throne, the
emperor of Russia was appointed colonel
in chief of the Royal Scots Greys.
Whilst dressing for dinner an enthusi-
astic subaltern communicated the in-
formation to his soldier servant.

“Donald,” he said, “have you heard
that the new emperor of Russia has
been appointed colonel of the regi-
ment?”

“Indeed, sir!” replied Donald.

Then after a pause, he inquired:

“Beg pardon, sir, but will he be able
to keep both places?”

HE HAD A SNORING-RCSM.’

Late John A. Morris Enjoyed Seclusion
on His Own Yacht.

“I’m only a smooth-water sailor,” the
late millionaire horseman, John A.
Morris, used to say. He had his yacht,
the Cora, named for his wife, built for
the shallow Waters around New Or-
leans, and found it almost totally unfit
for the rougher element here. Its cab-
ins were like therooms in a house, and
all its furnishings and equipments
were sumptuous. It was slow and roll-
ing, says a writer in the New York
Times, but was good enough to go to
the races in. When in command of the
deck Mr. Morris made it a rule to con-
cede the right of way to every craft. he
met. “These people are working,” he
would say, “while I am only out for fun.
It is my business to give way to them.”
But, with his customary shrewdness, he
had another reason, which he never
mentioned. “By getting out of the
way of these people 1 make them my
friends. If anything were to happen
—if the Cora were to run down a vessel
by any chance, these people would not
make much of a fuss about it. They
all know me and my boat, and never
give way, because they know I shall do
it.” He snored like a bull. On the
deck of the yacht he built a snoring
room, where he could bellow and snort
without disturbing his guests. The
boat was stocked with the finest wines
and liquors, cordials, etc., but they
were for his friends. He never touched
them. He was the finest carver I ever
knew. He used the most wonderful
knife, and never was known to miss a
joint. When the Cora was at New Or-
leans Mr. Morris turned it over to his
young friends. Every day some young
lady would receive a note to the effect
that the yacht was hers the next day,
and as many of her friends as she cared
to invite.

OLD SAMOAN WAYS.

 

 

 

Queer Custom of Tattooing Among the
Men. .

The Samoans are physically a splen-
didly made race of a deep bronze color;
their hair is naturally black, but is con-
verted by frequent dressings of lime,
which have a bleaching effect, to a dull
reddish tint; this custom obtains both
with the men and the women. Their
arms and chests are specially well de-
veloped from their habit of paddling
long distances in their canoes from
island to island; in fact, at so great dis-
tances from the mainland were these
natives seen by early travelers, that this
group was christened the Navigator
islands. At this time, too, travelers re-
ported that the Sam oans wore fine black
skeins reaching from the waist to a
short distance above the knee. This
report, though without foundation
in fact, was due to the custom pos-
sessed by these people of tattooing
themselves after that fashion, covering
about the same part of the body as
would a pair of our bathing drawers.

All the men are thus tattoeed on ar-
riving at maturity, says Westminster
Review, and are not allowed to take
unto- themselves wives before the pain-
ful process is complete. Regular pro-
fessional tattooers are found among
the people, and the tattooing often oc-
cupies some months, as the patient
only undergoes as much as he can hear
at each operation. The designs tat-
tooed are very ancient, and the present

' generations are entirely ignorant of

their signification. This latter fact ap-
plies also to the words of their rowing
songs, which they sing in perfect har-
mony and in time to their oars or pad-
dles; the words sung are now obsolete,
and, like the tattooed designs, are not
understood by the people.

ANECDOTE‘ OF KING WILLIAM IV

Orders 3 Sentry to Lot on Old Man Smoke
. in Peace.

The following story of a German
Diogenes is perfectly authentic. When
King Frederick William IV. visited the
Rhine provinces in the year 1843 he
made a short stay at Wesel, where he
called at the house of the oldest man
in his kingdom, aged one hundred
years. He found him comfortably-
seated in an old arm-chair, smoking a
pipe-his inseparable companion. on
the kingls arrival he rose to his feet,

 

 

 

and- stepped forward a few paces, but
his majesty made him sit down again,
and talked to him with the greatest
freedom, the old man pufiing away at
his pipe all the‘time. When about to
leave, the king aired him if he had
any wish that it was in his power to
gratify.

“No, thanks, your majesty, I have all
I want in the world,” was the reply.

“Really! Just think for a moment;
we mortals have generally some par-
ticular desire or aspiration.”

“Well, sir, now I come to think of it,
I might have a favor to ask. My doctor
Insists on my taking a walk every day
on the ramparts. Every time I pass‘the
powder magazine the sentinel shouts
to me from afar: ‘Take the pipe out
of your mouth,’ and as I walk very
slowly, my pipe goes out every time.
Now, if your majesty would be good
enough to order the sentry to let me
smoke my pipe in peace all the way, I
should consider it the greatest kindness
you could confer on me for the rest of
my natural life.” ' - .

The order was given, and the old fel
low enjoyed the privilege for more than
two years, and died at last with the

 

 
 

pipe in his mouth. 7 w“), 1

SHOTS FROM ARMY; AND NAV‘r.

 

M. CHASSEPO'I‘, the inventor Of the
rifle on which the French relied in the
war against Prussia, is now keeping a
hotel at Nice. , >

MME. FURTADO HErNE has given her
villa at Nice to the French government
to be used forever as a winter hospital
for officers of the army, and has also
provided the money with which the
hospital staff is to be supported.

A RUSSIAN vessel has just brought; to
Antivari, on the Adriatic, thirty thou-
sand rifies, fifteen million cartridges,
cannon, machine guns and dynamite, a
presentzfrom the Russian czar to the
prince of Montenegro.

FIFTEEN rupees, less than four dol-
lars, is the reward that has been given
to thenative Indian soldiers who were
mentioned in- general orders for con-
spicuous gallantry and devotion during
the Chitral campaign. One man, who
had thirty-one wounds to show, received
the order of merit. ’ '

TWENTY-ONE guns have just been
sent from Cherbourg to the naval ar-
senal at Havre, where they are ready to
be mounted on the steamers of the
Compagnie Generale Transatlantique,
the Gascogne, Bourgogne, Bretagne,

Champagne and Touraine whenever

war breaks out.

ALL the Italian torpedo boats not
already having petroleum furnaces are
to be supplied with them. The burn-
ers are the invention of the Italian
engineer Cuniberti. They are being
tried in the German and French navies.
England alone has paid no attention to
liquid fuel for small high-speed war
vessels.

Two RUSSIAN gunboats, the Teretz
and the Uralotz, nominally attached to
the Black sea fleet, are now allowed to
pass freely between the Black sea and
the Mediterranean without objection
on the part of the Ottoman authorities.
This is considered by Russia as the thin
edge of the wedge that will open the
Bosporus and the Dardanelles to the
Black sea fleet in spite of the Paris and
Berlin treaties.
