Helnrich Conried told the following story once when chatting of his ex perience as an operatic director: "It happened Iq Chicago,'- said he. "1 weqt there to superintend our ilrst sea son in Chicago. I got there early In the afternoon. As 1 was registering at the Auditorium a young, a very young, newspaper man came up and talked to me. He begged for an inter view. I told him I had arranged to sei the press at 5. That did not satisfy him. He was on an afternoon paper It would be a feather In his cap if he could scoop the town. "Very well.' said I to him, 'I shall give yo.u an in terview, but It will have to be while I am taking my bath.' He seemed an Intelligent and earnest young man. and I was willing to do that much for him "I turned on the water and divested myself of my coat, and the interview proceded.

Haiti's Legion of Honor. It is not generally known that the famous order of the Legion of Honor was adopted at Haiti in 1849. When Soulouque became emperor under the name of Faustin 1., he Instituted an order in Imitation of that which had been established by Napoleon in 1802. Statues, ribbons and Insignia were pre cisely identical, and since the sover eign of Haiti distributed his honors to all and sundry with lavish hand the French government was considerably embarrassed. The death of Soulouque ended the difficulty.—Paris Gaulois. A Poor Remedy.
