The orders OF ST. Anne, st. Stanis-

Russian orders OF knighthocd.
The order Of St Anne was founded
by Charles Frederick, duke OF Hols-

wife, Anne petrovna, a daughter Of Pc
ter the Great, the famous czar. who
renodeled Russia on a European ba-

was adopted as a Russian order in
1897 by their grandson, the Emperor
Paul. There are four classes.
The order OF St. Stanislaus was
founded originally as a Polish order
by Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowski,
the famous king OF Poland, in 1765.
1t was adopted as Russian imperial
order IL 1881.

That seemed the end OF very dis

had, of course, ruined his career as a

Red Shirt Of Italy.

The red shirt, destined to become so
famous a symbol throughout Europe,
was not at first adopted by Garibaldi
for any fantastic or spectacular rea-
son. The English Admiral Ingram
says that the red shirt had its origin
in stern necessity and that its adop-
tion was caused by the need OF cloth
ing as economically as possible the
legion that Garibaidi had raised so-
the liberation OF Italy. An offer was
made by a tradesman to supply at a
reduced price a large stock OF red
wooden shirts. This offer was eagerly
closed on. Before many years hal
passed the red shirt became the sym

new spirit working for the liberation
