HIGHEST FRENCH ORDER.
The Legion of Honor is the highest Of
the French orders. After the revolution
had swept away all of those conferred by
the monarchy it was established by the
consulate and was greatly enlarged by
Napoleon l. 1t was a great power in his
hands but after his time it became de-
graded by indiscriminate bestowals. In late
years there have been scandals result
of charges that it has been conferred in
exchange for money, but many efforts have
been made to purify it and the President
of France still remains, ex officio, chief SOW
ereign and grand master.

purple martins. Soaring there in spirit. she
looks fondly down upon the simple goodness
of the towhee, the tenderness of the modest
field sparrow, and the alteration of Bach
of-the-stubble, all of whom she would
fain retain. She weeps little that the cat
bird, the indigo and the tanager should be
misunderstood, but sends them forth re-
luctantly for what they are. 1t is one of
her griefs, too, that the vesper sparrow
should slight her inspiration, but she lin

their mission, and when she relaxes into

voice her thought. Between the watchful-

water thrush she thrusts the self-devotion

the intelligence of the vireos one and ALL

with satisfaction she tells off the little

dignity compressed within so small a bunch
of frisky feathers. Modesty she emphasizes
