LITTLE, old, poverty stricken Spain
now proposes to increase her duties
on cereals. IT may safely be said that
she needs all TIE revenue She can get,
no matter who has TO pay it. But
this again shows the growth of the
American idea Of protecting every
thing, and perhaps there is no better
nor more speedy method Of getting
back TO justice than that of protecting
everything everywhere. At any rate
this seems to be the method adopted
by nIaAy Of the nations abroad.

AN Order Supposed to Have Originated

AN crAer Supposed to Have Originated
About tha Tiu'e of the First Crusade.
Sir John A. Macdonald the Canadian
premier, having just been invested with
,, the Grand Cross of Bath, an honor ney-
er before conferred on any colonial
minister, a history of the institution Of
this coveted distinction is timely. The
knights Of the Bath are military Or
der, supposed to have originated at the
time of the first crusade. but first dis
tinctly mentioned in the reign Of Henry
~. Froissart says that at the corona
tion of that king in the tower of Lon
don in 1898 forty six esquires were made
knights, and were called knights Of the
Bath, because they had watched and
bnthed during the night preceding, and
they wore on the occasion long coats
trimmed with white fur, and had white
laces hung about their shoulders.
From that time it was usual for kings 70
create knights of the Bath at
the coronation of themselves or
their queens, the birth or mar
riage of princes or princesses, upon the
eve of starting upon foreign military
expeditions, and after gaining a battle
or taking a town. AT the coronation
of Charles II. sixty eight knights of the
Bath were made; but the order was
then neglected and discontinued, till IN
1925 George I. revived it by letters
patent. He gave book Of statutes for
it's government, by which it was decreed
that the order should consist of sover-
eign, grand master and thirty six
companions. Its badge, of pure gold
was to he a scepter Of three united i'm
perial crowns, from which grew the
rose, the thistle, and the shamrock, and
around which was inscribed the ancien,
motto, "Trla Juncta in Uno." It was
