THE LEGION OF HONOR.
History Of the Order Instituted BY Napoleon.

History Of the Order Instituted BY Napoleon.
The order Of the Legion Of Honor was
instituted in May, 1902, by Napoleon as
consul. In class 1t is an order "of dis
tinction and reward for civil and mill
tary services" Under the first en-
pire the distinction conferred invested
the person decorated with the rank of
legionary, officer, commander, grand
officer or grand cross. Napoleon's os-
tensible purpose in creating the order
was through it's medium to protect re-
publican principles and the laws of
equality and to abolish difference Of
rank in society, every social grade be-
ing considered eligible. History asserts,
though, that his real purpose was to
popularize the idea Of personal distinc-
ton, and thereby pave the way for the
establishment Of the empire and Of the
more exclusive titles Of nobility that
were to accompany 1t: The proposal
for it's institution was at first violently
opposed by the legislative body and
the tribunate on democratic grounds;
but it was eventually carried by a mar
row majority. The three great classes
created by the order were the grand
officers, commanders and legionaries.
Later, Napoleon as emperor, divided
the grand officers into knights Of the
grand eagle (the highest grade) and
grand officers. When the Bourbons
were restored to the throne the legion
was retained, but remodeled so as to
lose much of its original character.
The eagle was called a cross and the
effigy of Napoleon was replaced by that
of Henry w. The knights of the grand
eagle became the grand crosses, the
legionaries were transformed into
knights, and the numerous educational
institutions founded by Napoleon for
the education Of the children Of the
members Of the order were materially

| its ruins; but in spite Of this varying
fortune 1t has always maintained Its
Importance as the great entrepot Of the
trade between the Western world and
the centre Of China.
Today the population Of China con-
sists of Tibetars, Mongolians, Tar
ars and Mohammedaps. The last named
became Chinese subjects after the great
Isham revolt which lasted from 1866 to
1873. The town contains a colossal
stone statue Of Buddha, and a mural
tablet kept in one Of the temples Is
probably the oldest existing evidence
Of Christian mission activity in that
part Of Asia, as it speaks of the Nesto-
rian Mission Of the year 7S1. The name
Of this town, one Of the oldest in the
whole world, is really Shangan, which
means everlasting peace" Baron Won
Richthofen visited Si-Gnan in the six
ties, and he has left On record the fol-
lowing description of the place:
si-Gnan is still an imposing city, and
1t is really the capital Of Northwestern
China, although the governor general
w.
in Lan-Tchou on account Of the large
extent Of extramural territory commit
ted to his care. On approaching ST.
Gnan from the east there is nothing in
the character Of the country to bespeak
the approach to great capital. At the
end Of ravine lying between two ter
races the long straight city walls Of
Si-Gnan come suddenly into view. The
city lies four square, and has main
entrance gate in the middle OF each
wall, and before each city gate there is
an extensive suburb, which Is really
little town Of itself, and in turn has its
own ramparts.
When Won Richthofen visited Si-Gnan
the city walls had been completely des-
troyed as they were not able to with
stand the attacks made by the Moham-
medans. The gates are finer than those
in Pekng; but the walls are not quite
so strongly built as those Of the Chi
nese metropolis. The streets are for
the most part laid out at right angles.
The houses form a square, of which
each side is 10 Il, three-Quarters OF
German mile In length. Within a
special rampant, in the most northerly
part Of the city, are the magistrates
buildings, and the quarters Of the Man
chu garrison. The Chinese geography
books give very accurate details Of the
ruins of the ss palaces Of olden days,
but it Is said that these ruins are
scarcely to be discovered now. The
population Of si-Gnan is estimated at
rather more than 100000, and this
estimate includes $4,000 Mohammedans.

MANUFACTURING IN THE SOUTH.
Some Figures Showing Its Wonderful Growth
In Recent Years.

IN NeCeHt IedTS.
Augusta Chronicle.
A most interesting feature in the re-
port of Secretary Hester, Of New Or
leans, is the portion given the statis-
TICS Of growth in cotton manufacturing
in the South. In 1890 we thought the
South had a considerable cotton man.
ufacturing interest; but It mas nearly
doubled the number Of factories in the
past 10 years and more than trebled the
number Of spindles.
Mr.. Hester shows that the number Of
mills in the South has increased from
1886 in 1890 to 663 in 1900, a gain of 327
mills. In the matter of spindles, an in
teresting comparison Is given, going
back to 1860. In 1860 the spindles in
the South were $3.50; in 1870, 33S, $50;
in $780, 561, $50; in 1890, 1878, ,291; in 1896,
3,177, $40; and in 1900, 6,267, 1853. The
ing with August, 1890, was SAG, 1874, while
the consumption Of the year just closed
was 1851, ,112. This Is wonderful devel-
opment in this great industry, and 1t
has not yet reached the point Of slower
development. There was an increase
of 113 in the number of mills last year
and Of more than million and quar-
ter spindles.
The total consumption Of cotton in
the South was I,597,112 bales, an in
crease Of 1918 bales. The consump-
ton Of Northern mills was, according
to Mr.. Hester, 100000 bales. which
added to the consumption Of the South
ern mills, gives an aggregate consump-
tion for the entire country of $685., 900
bales. or more than 40 per cent. Of the
crop.

WHERE cHIHA's GOVERNMENT IS.
Description Of the City Of Refuge Called ST.
Cnan.
rom the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
The Empress Dowager, Prince Tuan
and other Chinese notabilities whose
consciences have assured them OF being
mainly responsible for the recent out
break Of the anti-foreign movement In
China, have fled westward across Chi
ma to the town which may be said to
represent the very cradle Of the Chi
nese Empire OF today. The fugitives
have left Peking for the interior Of
China, and it is said that they are on
their way to the famous city Of ST.
Gnan, the capital Of the province OF
Shen-Si, and situated on an affiuent or
the Hoei-Ho. Si-Gnan Is about 600
miles southwest of Peking as the crow
flies, and it Is regarded as practically
out of the question to follow the fug1-
tives with anything like properly or
ganized punitive force. The choice Of
Si-Gnan as a city of refuge by the up
holders Of the political creed, "China
for the Chinese" Is certainly very fit
ting.
The city Is said to have been built in
the twelfth century before the Christ
ian era and at this day, after Peking,
the most important town in Northern
China and the capital Of the entire
northwest of China, so far as extent,
population and trade are concerned.
Times out of number si-Gnan has been
destroyed, and has arisen again out Of

The country has a larger supply and
a greater variety Of presidential tickets

COSTS MILLIONS.
Expenses of General Elections In England and
America.
TO BE CONTINUED.

America.
Great Britain has certain election
laws which restrict the candidate and
make him account for all his expend-
itures. These were made necessary by
the frightful corruption into which the
suffrage Of England had descend
ed; but If any one imagines that they
corrected all the evils he is very much
mistaken.
The present writer was in England
during the last general election In that
country and he went into the local
details Of the election machinery. He
found that in the small matters Of poll
tics, in the getting of votes through in
fiuence, money and other means, the
English politician was several miles
ahead Of anything we have In America.
In fact, some of the candidates had
been nursing" their constituencies for
all the seven years since the former
general election in that country.
There is no doubt Of the fact that our
politicians do bribe and buy, but
they do it on the moment. They do
not generally have to purchase years
of servitude in order to get the suffrage
of a day. In England the nursing
system keeps the distribution Of wealth
in progress for years.
The writer put the following ques-
ton to the editor of one of the leading
newspapers of London:
How much do you estimate this e.
lection will cost the candidates for
parliament"
He made some calculations on pad
and then replied:
Curious, isn't it, that it had never
struck me before? Why, I find total
here of two million pounds.
Ten million dollars for less than
four weeks politics in an area that
could be safely placed in one Of our
States. makes an American feel rath-
er small"
well, at any rate, we have better
laws than you have, even If we do
spend the money
"Of course, in this country we spend
more than ten millions on a presiden-
tial election. When we consider all
the local expenses and all the running
of campaigns and candidates the total
must amount to several times ten mil
lions, but we must remember that 1t
spreads over the finest empire in the
world, and leads to the election Of the
greatest executive on earth.-Satur-

A NEW CENTURY REVIVAL.
Extensive Plans In England and This Country
For q Concerted Movement.


For . Concerted Movement.
Church Economist.
All of the free churches of England
are joined in an effort to open the new
century with q great evangelical re-
vival. Eight days are to be given to
the task, apart from the months of
preparation, which have already been
begun. In this task Of preparation the
Christian Endeavor and other lay help
is brought into use. The meetings will
begin on Saturday night, January be-
ing the month selected, cover the two
following Sundays and terminate on
Monday evening. The London meetings
are to be held in advance Of those in
the province; this for local effect.
There are to be six London centres
principal centres. each Of which will
have many subordinate centres.
In other cities of England the num-
ber of principal centres, each with su-
bordinate ones, will number from one
to six, according to size, and the work
is already begun to see that no city,
however small, is omitted from the
plan. The date will be about fort
night after the close of the London
meetings. Evangelists from one to 10
in number will be sent to each city, &C
cording to size, and pastors will help
out.
There will be special services for
milkmen, for car drivers, for fallen wo-
men, newspaper boys, etc. Some OF
these will be held at early hours in the
morning, one Of them at a. m. They
will be held at any hour those for
whom they are held can best attend.
The aim Is, first to reach people Of all
grades and to provide meetings any
where and at any times; second, to
converge these meetings upon central
mass meetings.
There Is a movement on foot in this
country to make this year a year of
prayer and preparation for the incom-
ing new century. A call to this end is
issued to the people Of the United
States and Is signed by many repre-
sentative men, including such names
as those of the Rev. DR.. J. H. Barrows,
Joseph Strong, Washington GLADDEN.,
Theodore L. Cuyler, C. I. Scofleld, and
Bishops Gilbert, of Minnesota; Leon
ard, of Ohio; Doane, Of Albany; An
drews Of New York, etc. The appeal
is to Christians to make the year one Of
prayer, work and preparation and edu-
cation by Bible study and study OF
missionary and other progressive
Christian work, in order that great
revival of religion may be prepared for
in the opening year Of the new century.

Comes quivering near, In q sob and q
tear tear the words of woe-laden
Wrecked, and ruined, and routed-liv-
ing that how must be fed,
And over 1t all sounds the sorrowful
call Help US to bury our dead!
Saddened and sore with affliction, help
lessly weak we bow,
Sisters afar, wherever you are, pity us,
pity US now!"
Over the crashing of thunders, over the
Storm Kings jeers;
In heart bleeding tones comes the walls
and the noans and saddening
drip of the tears:
Dead! Ye are dead. Be glad Of it!
We that syll live are perplexed.
God, in Thy grace, show Thy plying
face. Save us from what COM
eth next"
Crushed and broken in spirit-broken
in heart by their grief
Our brothers away seek the dawn Of
the day that will glow with the
sun Of relief.
After the surging torrents, after tine
thunders cease,
Comes joyfully near, in q message Of
cheer, the words full Of hope
and Of peace:
Long ere you cried for our succor we
Of the North stood appalled,;
Our answer we framed ere our kinship
was claimed-'twas ready ere
ever you called.
Out Of the heart Of the Northland, out
of the East and the West,
And the glorious heart Of the South
had it's part in the message: We
come, be at rest"
A good cry and glad cry
Goes over the weary miles.
IT'S Of good cheer and Of great cheer
And changes the tears into smiles.
