Where Princes Abound.
The Russian government hUH
appointed u heraldic commission
to inquire into the origin of th ( ;
titles of " ' ' " ,
numerous "princelJ' fam
i1ies of the Caucasian provinces
Princes are more numerous there
it seems , than anywhere , else in the
world , since the old Iingre1iall
monarchs used to ennoble their }
subjects on the smallest ) pretext
One peasant , for example , was ae.
corded thc style of prince for pick"
jug up a scarf pin which the mon
arch had dropped in the mud , and
another for acting as beater on they
occasion of a royal "shoot. " The
consequence is that Russia is full
of Caucasian princes , who keel
small J ) shops. '
