YOUNG PRINCE HAS HIS ARMS TATTOOED Follows Example of King George in Adopting Nautical Custom. BY I.A MAnailSK DE FOVrKXOY. PRINCE ALBERT, the second son oil George, v., .who recently accom? panied his father to Portland ami obtained his first tasto of real experience of the Meet has adopted' the nautical custom of having his armsl tattooed. In doing this lir- Is follow? ing the example of King George who' while with his shin in Japan, when yet quite a lad, took advantage of the opportunity to have one of the most skilful needle artists in I)ai Nippon adorn him with an exquisitely execut? ed picture of dragons In delicate bluj and pink. The Japanese are past-masters in the art of making permanent these plc tures on the skin, and few visitors to their country, especially if they arc seafarers, can withstand the tempta? tion to become. In this fashion, plcto rlally ornamental. Ilowev.-r. when King George and his late brother, the Luke of Clarence, who were "mldshtpmltes" at the time., were tattooed, no end of a rumpus was caused. For some, officious Indl-j vidual?possibly It was a practical : .inker?wrote home from Australia Mating that the two princes had had the "broad arrow" worked with need? les on the tips of their littl- royal noses. Now the broad arrow is the mark placed upon nil property belong? ing to the British Government, and is more especially familiarized to the public, by the fnet that convict* have their clothing liberally stamped .with It?much in the same way that broad stripes are employed in America. British society, both the classes and] the mases. were aghast at the Idea ofj the future ruler of their vast empire having his most ronspicuous feature adorned with a sign that was so pom Inehtly identified with the criminal element undergoing punishment. A shout of horror went up from one end of the kingdom to tho other. Members of Parliament were forced by their constituents to formally question the cabinet, with due solemnity, in they sat on the ministerial benches in the House, and so serious and widespread was the agitation, over the affair, that the government addressed to each of the London newspapers an official eommunieatlon. which was published on the editorial page in large type, as? suring the people that the noses of the young princes were absolutely free from any such disfigurement as that which had been reported. As a matter of fact, royal personages do not choose their noses as the ?oca- | tlon for the demonstration of Japanese artistic masterpieces. But many of) them submit their arms to the opera- | tlon. For Instance. King Georgo of Greece, and his nephew, the Czar, were each tattooed while in Dai Nippon; so too was the Duke of Genoa, Archduke .Stephen ot Austria, and Prlnc^ Henry of Prussia, the sailor brother of Em? peror William. The late Grandduke Alexis of Russia, brother of the Czar, enjoyed the distinction of being the most magnificently und elaborately tattooed Prince of the Blood In Europe. His powerful right arm was adorned with a superb dragon, which euvered it almost entirely. from ha-lf way between the wrist and elbow to the shoulder. This was done on a small island of the name of Inassa, in Nagasaki Bay, where the Grandduke spent some time while serving as lieu? tenant on board the. flagship of the Muscovite squadron in Chinese and Japanese waters. Princess Waldemar, of Denmark, had a beautiful anchor and crown tattooed on her arm half? way between her shoulder and her el? bow, her sailor husband was tattooed, as was also the late King Oscar ot Sweden, who was many years In tho navy before ascending the throne. Indeed, for a royal sailor to withstand the temptations of the tattooing needle, as wellded by the skilful and artistic Jap, would prove him to bo somewhat exceptional in his makeup and not really bound by the almost unalter? able customs and traditions of the sea. Empress Eugenie has been s ?me What unfortunate In her champions. Some time ago an extremely letter? ing biography of her was published by an Englishman of the name of Edward Legge, whom she had appar-j cntly admitted to a certain amount of intimacy, since the book, and a few articles bearing his signature In week? ly publications contained information] that could only have been furnished: to him by the ax-Empress. Presumably his recognition on the part of the imperial lady was not what I he expected it would be. For ho has just published another volumo entitled. ?'The Comedy and Tragedy of the second Empire." which Is far from showing the Empress and her husband. Napoleon III., In a pleasing light. It Is dedicated to Emile Ollivier, Premier; at the time of the Franco-Prussian War, who thanks the author in a letter used as a preface, and states that as he is almost blind, he hopes to have the book read to him some time. Opposite the title-page is a picture of Napoleon III., and In conjunction therewith is printed a letter from old Monsieur Pletri, private secretary to the Empress, in which he acknowledges her receipt of the photograph of the bust sent by Mr. l^egge. Mr. Legge huvlng thus established, so to speak, nis right to claim acquaintance with his subject in the tlesh. proceeds to treat the Imperial pair In an altogether ven? omous manner. Thus, in almost every page Of tlie book an allusion is made to one or another of tho numerous scandals .with which the Empress's name, or that of her husband, hasi been associated. All sorts of wicked sossip has been resurrected from Sins' ler's "Los Amours Tragiqucs de Napo? leon III.," anil Lollee's still more re cenl and highly llavored accounts of' the last OCCUpantS of tne Tullrrles. Moreover, one can scarcely imagine that tin aged Empress could find any special pleasure in looking upon pho? tographs more than half a century obi I in which she is portrayed in singularly Unbecoming costumes, as an odalisque,) as a Spanish Gypsy, and ns a Circas? sian dancing girl; while both herself I and old cx-Prcmler Ollivier (to Whom the volume Is dedicated) will be grat-l illed by a story to the effect that she! had on one occasion at St. Cloud loudly ' proclaimed that "ahe knew how to get i rig of General Fletiry and Emile Olli-: vier, and to rbi Franca of them." Legge j lhalsts upon it as a fact that Napoleon l III. had no drop of Bonaparte bloodl in his veins, and that Iiis real father' was one of Queen H or tense's numer? ous lovers, and charges tho Emperor repeatedly with having displayed cow? ardice at tho battle Of Solforiuo, in' I*.".!', nnd at Sedan In 1S70. This will : glva some Idea of the nature of tho' author, who In the closing chapter an-| nounces that he will have much more' to say about the Empress when sho | dies. The cable dispatches announcing that the Inhabitants of the Island of St. Kllda have, been so long cut off from the rest of Scotland by stormy weather, that they have exhausted their reserve stock of provisions, and are so near to starvation that a government vessol has had to bo sent to their relief, brings once more to tho attention of the public the Isolated condition of thoso out of the way groups known as the Orkneys, the Shetlanda and the Hebrides, of which latter St. Kllda Is the most westerly member. Somo of these Islets have no communication with the mainland for weeks and months at a time, indeed, once It used to be for years, for after Queen Victoria came to the throne, It was discovered that the pious community of one of these small riots <.n the-map, were praying for the prosperity and long reign of George IV.. quite Igno? rant of the fact that ho had died eight years previously, that another King had ascended the throne, been gathered to his fathers, and then followed by a young girl whom few of them had ever heard of before.
