When Making a New Home-A Button

Calculate in advance not only the
cost of building the house, but the add
ed cost of furnishing it when finished,
and keep within your means. But If
the error is made don't double it by
furnishing temporarily in the hope of
some day doing it over again. 1t is
much the better policy to start with
everything good, even if that means to
be short few pieces, for a good start
demands a good continuance. To fill a
house with things one doesn't like on
the plea of Temporary" is to invite
years, perhaps lifetime, Of living

Loubet's Fine Decoration.

The grand masters collar of the Or
der of the Legion of Honor. with which
President Loubet was invested, is of
finely wrought gold and is altogether a
magnificent decoration, but very rarely
assumed by the president. The order
dates from Napoleon's consulate in
1902. It comprises four classes-viz, 80
grand crosses, 100 grand officers, 400
commanders and an unlimited number
of officers and chevaliers. Unless by the
exercise of authority on the part of the
grand master or forrsome signal service
to the state all holding the order begin
as chevaliers and are not eligible until
fhey have exercised with distinction
for 30 years civil or military duties, or
have done some important service to
the state, or earned distinction in art
or science. A chevalier must have held
that grade for four years before he can
become an officer; two years more are
necessary before the grade of com
mander can be attained; a commander
cannot become grand officer under
five years, and five years more are need
cd before grand officer can become a
grand cross For military men years of
war services count double. London

thing to say of John Chinaman that
may well fill the hearts of all Ameri-
cans with envy, He remarks that John
never seems to get tired or nervous. He
can write all day, work all day, stand
in one position all day, weave, beat
gold, carve ivory, do infinitely tedious
jobs for ever and ever and experience
no more WEAKNESS and irritation than
if he were a machine. This quality APP

all appallingly good and will plod away
in school without recess or play of any
kind. Sport or play seems to them SO
much waste of labor. They can sleep
anywhere-amid deafening uproar, ON
the ground or in any position.
