KINGS' EMPTY TITLES.
Although King Oscar can no longer be considered as King of Norway, since her separation from Sweden is complete, yet it i. virtually decided that he will continue to bear tho title until .tho end of his reign. There is plenty of precedent for this. Emperor Francis Joseph still styles himself King of Lombardy and of Venice, although nearly half a century has elapsed since the."© two kingdoms became provinces cf tho Italian Crown. And although Jerusalem lias for centuries belonged to the Sublime Porte, the Austrian Emperor calls himself King thereof. Orango is a French city, and was formerly a French province, yet the Kaiser bears tho title of Prince of Orange, while tho Queen of tho Netherlands is Princess of Orange. The United States takes no exception to the King of Spain's retaining the title of Sovereign of Porto Rico and of tho Philippine Islands, and in tho same way Don Carlos of Portugal is officially styled Sovereign Lord of Persia, India, Arabia and Ethiopia.
