Each day some of our illusions are de-

startling statement that Mirabeau never

We nave still another syndicate-that OF
models, and war has been declared against
Italian models. The latter pose for 4 francs
sPance. while the French demand francs.
But, as in Paris, there are at least 600
models and not more than 100 of French
nationality, the syndicate will not at first
have a great success; however, the syndi-
cate has an office in the Quarter MoDtmar-

models are very numerous in Paris they are

the insignia Of the Elephant Eagle. Swan,
Falcon, Lion, Dragon, Bear and every other
bird OF animal known to chivalry; now the
King Of Sweden has sent the President of
the French Republic the insignia of the
Order Of the Seraphim, an order founded in
1860 To belong TO this order is an honor,
because the number of chevaliers Is limited
and the formalltles of reception into the
order are, according to the ancient statut es,
very com licated. Besides, tue arms of all
the chevaliers are painted on shield in the
old church of Riddarsholm, Stockholm.
This church is no longer used as a place of
worship, and Is called the Swedish

the founder Of the present royal house of
Sweden. Although the members of the
Order of the Seraphim must swear eternal
ndelity to each other Napoleon and BeTna-

received the decoration from BernadOtte,
but the ex-tieutenaut of the Emperor was
the ally of a coalition that broke his power,
