polar bears and a Russian black bear

For several years he has discarded
glasses altogether, and is now able to

now in her seventy-seventh year. At

summer of 1873 she began to be troubled

The Order of the Garter.


No British order OF knighthOod dates

istence of the extinct knightly orders of
Europe The oldest, the most noble
Order of the Garter, takes us back not
quite five and half centuries, It's institu-
ton being subsequently more than a
generation TO the suppression Of the once
heroic order of the knights Templar,
which before it persisted had waXed fat
and vicious The blue garter was either
the token III successful skirmish, and SO
a military symbol, or was the mark OF a
playful and happy treatment Of 4 draw
ing-roOm misadventUre; the order, there
fore, may be said to lack an origin pecu-
harlv associated with any ancient knight
ly ideal Its exclusiveness gives to
the decoration its rare prestige,
which can scarcely be said to inhere
in amy respect due to knighthood, every
one of the members OF the order being
possessed already of superior dignity
to that which knighthoOd has ever claim
ed in the order of worldly precedence.
Her majesty Is the chief of the order,
which includes most Of the crowned
heads Of Europe, and is strictly limited
III respect of the number and status of
its members. Atthe present moment the

count 1t would be prodigious to regard
this order as IN any sense representing
ordinary knighthood, although it may
bear the name. 1t IL indeed to pay a
great compliment to knighthood for per
sonages so eminent to cOndescend to bear
the title, and should they derive any al.
ditional lustre therefrom the fact goes
some way toward verifying the statement
that hnighthood is different not Only il
