CzARINA GUEST OF EUGENE.
Former French Empress Siu Ardent
YnchfEMomnn.

st. Petersburg. Aug 21-One of the
visits that the Czarina paid while at
Cowes was to the aged ex-E Empress Eu-
genie. who was there in the midst Of the
gayety on her yacht, the Thistle Know
ing that the former Empress feebleness
would not permit her TO attend the royal
receptions on board the STANDARD, the
Czarina went to see her. thus following
the precedent OF her grandmother. Queen
Victoria, who visited Eugene at Chisle-
hurst at the time the news came that the
prince imperial had been killed in Zulu
land.
Always an ardent yachtswoman Eu-
genie has not lost her interest in the sport
even now. II viii be remembered that
when she was driven from the Tuileries
by the Paris mob she made her way TO
The coast, with the help OF Dr. Evans and
boarded a small yacht, the Deerhound.
in storm. For many hours the craft
was in danger as II crossed the turbulent
Channel. The Empress showed no signs
OF fear. but sat in silence. thinking per-
haps that the gale was preferable TO the
angry mob she had so narrowly escaped
in the Paris streets.
The Thistle Is a beautiful yacht, fitted
with the exquisite taste the ex-Empress
shows IN everything she undertakes. No
one at Cowes enjoyed the week mo-e than
Eugene, who received visitors daily and
spent hours on the deck OF her boat
watching all that went on within range Of
the Thistle.

HAMLET'S BEARD IN QUESTION
German Savants Declare Prince
Possessed One.
Point Ont that Melancholy Dane
Was Much older Than Is
Generally Held.

Berlin. Aug. 21.-Should Hamlet wear
beard? The question is agitating certain
German literary organs this OF season.
The familiar presentation Of Hamlet on
the stage as a beardless youth just over
twenty is condemned as wholly incorrect
In the gravediggers scene IN the fifth act,
it is pointed cut. it is made clear that
Hamlet was nearer thirty than twenty;
the former age also corresponds better
with his character and matured mental
outlook. Besides, in Act II. scene 2, Ham
let exclaims: who calls me villain =
plucks of my beard and blows it in my
face &C. 1t is cohtended that this was
meant 10 be taken literally.
On the Elizabethan stage. as records
show. mems parts were almost exclusive
" taken by bearded individuals. Women
ia those times did not appear on the stage
and their parts were taken by smooth
faced youths. 1t may be remarked here
that Mounet-Sully. the great French in
terpreter of Hamlet at the Coincide Fran
caise. pins his faith to the short, pointed
Elizabethan beard.

YOUNG SHAH BAD TEMPERED.
French Tutor Tells of His selfish
Habits.

London. Aug. 1.-Persia has gained lit
tie by setting twelve-year-old Ahmed
Mira in the place Of his deposed father.
judging by the character given him by
hiz former tutor, a French professor
named holman. who has had charge Of
his education for the last FIVE years.
Prof. HOLMAN, who is now in Moscow.
says that although the new Shah has
regular, almost handsome features which
give him a pleasing appearance. he has
an uncommon amount Of selhshness and
bad temper. AS a characteristic instance
he mentions an occurrence which took
place during his stay at the Teheran
court.
n Persian nobleman gave Ahmed Mira
and his younger brother, MOhammed
Hassan Mira, each a very fine jeweled
tarboosh. The presents were exactly alike.
and Ahmed Mira was so furious that his
brother should have a hat as fine as his
own that he forthwith tore the tarboosh
of his brothers head and ripped both
tarbooshes to shreds.
As a good quality Of the young Shah.
Prof holman mentions his intense thirst
for knowledge, especially Western Gus
tens and institutions.
