In Edward Tvs time the arms Of Ire
land were such a problem for the her.
aids that commissioners were sent to in
vestigate and report. The commissions
ers pronounced that the arms of that
kingdom were three crowns in pale. A
drawing in the British Museum settles
the question. The drawing was made
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. or, at
least. registered the colors as they ex-
listed in her reign. The National flag
appears then to have been q harp OF

Thus in early times the color changed
imperceptibly. There are blues that
are almost green. Twenty years ago
the Italian tri-color was black red, white
and olive green. These were the .es.

Trading Princes.

A member of the French mission at
Hue, who has contributed an interest
ing account of his eighteen months
residence in the capital of Anam to a
French paper, mentions among many
other curious things which he observed
there the trading propensities OF the
Princes Of the blood Royal Every
year one or other of these Princes opens
a regular bazaar shortly after the New
Years festivities in the court of his pal
ace, where the most varied assortment
of merchandise is exhibited for sale.
Odds and ends of European glassware,
curios of different nationalities, .sarti-
Giles de Paris,p bottles of decoction of
sarsaparilla, and of the bicarbonate of
soda form the motley stock in trade on
these occasions. The mission was sur
prised to find a plentiful supply of the
best brand of Manila cheroots on one
of the stalls in 1880. The Spaniards
had made a present of eight thousand
genuine '1mperiales'' to tn Due, who,
preferring the native tobacco for his
own consumption, gave them to the ma.
tive Princes, and they in turn were not

the ridicule which her grim face, and
