swept away all those orders of chivary for
which birth and lineage constituted sine qua

of the Legion Of Honor came into existence.
An attempt was made. even at the very out

men. But the first Napoleon. who had not at
the time become emperor. opposed this, and in

Legislators are not the only persons who are
disqualified from nomination to the order. De-
are promoted to posts which free them
from doing any more detective work. for the
calling of "mouchard" has always been regard
ed with contempt in France owing to the de-
spicable methods to which the secret agents Of
the political police resorted during the reign of
NeI oleon III. and 1t is held, moreover, that de-
tectves are, while in pursuit of their duties
obliged to assume roles to adopt dsguises and
TO do things wholly incompatible with the dig
Eity and the ethics Of knighthood of the Legion
of Honor. 1t for this latter reason that
there has always been such strong prejudice
against granting the cross to actors. and al
though the first Napoleon owed much to the
great actor Talma, and professed such warm
admiration and affection for him, yet he would
never consent to give him the Legion, declaring
that he could not expose knight Of the order

1t would carry beyond the length OF a
newspaper article to attempt to give here any
detailed history of this order which is one of the
few national institutions that have remained in
tact through all the manifold changes of govern
ment in France during the last one hundred
years. 1t was retained as badge of distinction
after the restoration by King Louis XVIII and
by his brother Charles Y; after the revolution of
July by King Louis Philippe; also by the Second
Republic, which lasted from 1913 to 1851: by the
second French Empire and by the Third Repub-

now held sway over France for the last thirty
years. will therefore content myself with cali
