An exchange of decorations took place be-

Faure was invested with the Golden Fleece.
Montero Rios received the grand Gordon Of
the Legion of Honor; General Bailloud, the
presidents secretary, received from Spain
the grand Gordon of military merit, and M.
LIE Gall, director of the presidents cabinet,
received the grand Gordon of naval merit.
The queen regent of Spain also received the
grand Gordon of the Legion of Honor. She
is the third sovereign who possesses this
mark of French distinction, the others being
the Dowager Queen Emma of Holland and
ex-Queen Ranavalona of Madagascar. All
European sovereigns, with the exception of
the emperor of Germany, Queen Victoria
and the young king of Spain possess the

Rabbits Bone in a Mans Arm

At the last meeting of the Clinical So
ciety of London A. Lane showed the case
OF man aged 10 years who lost the shaft of
the ulna in 1896. He was admitted into
Guys hospital in September, 1893, when the
radiograph showed that there extended
from either extremity of the ulna fine
spicule of bone. An incision was made
along the length of the ulna, and these spi-
cules were exposed and freed from the soft
parts in which they were embedded. A fe-
mur of very large rabbit was then wired
securely to the ends of the ulna, the spi-
cules being included in the loops of wire
The result was most satisfactory.--London

Sixty Live Goldfinches in Pie

A bright woman who gave a birthday
party the other day for her little daughter
gave much thought to making it as bright
and as original as possible. There were any
number of pretty games and surprises, and
the most delightful one of all was the pie
ot the nursery rhyme in which four-and-
twenty blackbirds were baked. In this re-
production of the famous culinary feat
there was an enormous pie which cast the
original entirely in the shade, for there
were not four-and-twenty blackbrds in it
to begin to sing when the pie was opened,
but sixty goldfnches, each in its small
wicker cage, one for each little guest to
take home.-New York Times.

From the cburch to the Stage

Few people are aware of the fact that
Albert Chevaler was great favorite OF the
late Cardinal Manning. His eminence took
lively interest in the lad, encouraging him
in every possible way. Mr. Chevalier will
tell you that many time has he been one
of the bearers of the late cardinals robes
and attended upon him when celebrating
mass. 1t says volumes for the broadmind-
edness of Cardinal Manning that one OF the
first letters of congratulation which Mr..
Chevalier received when he created such a
sensation in London some few years ago
was from Cardinal Manning.
