The TwO-Headed EorI.

The origin Of the device of the eagle
on national and royal banners NAV he
traced to the very early times. 1t was
the ensign of the ancient kings of Persia
and Babylon. The Romans adopted
many other figures on their camp stand
ards; but Marius (B. G. 1927 made the
eagle alone the ensign of the leoions
and confined the other figures to the
cohorts. From the Romans the French
under the empire adopted the eagle.
The emperors OF the Western Roman
empire used black eagle; those of the
east a golden one. The sign of the
golden eagle met with in taverns is in
allusion to the emperors of the east.
Since the time of the Romans almost
every state that has assumed the desig-
nation of an empire has taken the eagle
for its ensign-Austria, Prussia, Russia,
Poland and France all took the eagle.
The two-headed eagle signifies double
empire. The emperors of Austria, who
claim to be considered the successors of
Caesars of Rome, use the double-headed
eagle, which is the eagle of the eastern
emperors with that of the western, tvpi-
flying the Holy Roman Empire" of
which the emperors of Germany (now
merged in the house of Austria) consid-
cred themselves as the representatives.
Charlemagne was the first to use it, for
when he became master of the whole of
the German Empire, he added the second
head to the eagle, A. d. S02, to denote
that the emperors of Rome and Germany
were united in him. As it is among
birds the king, and being the emblem of
noble nature from its strength of wing,
and eye and courage, and also of con-
scious strength and innate power, the
eagle has been universally preferred as
the continental emblem of sovereignty.
OF the different eagles of heraldry the
black eagle is considered the most noble,
when blazoned on a golden
shield.

What a Woman Cannot Do.

This from the Burlington Hapkeye is
rather hard on our mothers, wives and
slsters-but then how many man will
say that's fact, after reading it:
A Boston man has a vest that Fanny
Fern made with her own hands. And
will bet 500 that it never did
and never will fit any man in this
wide, wide world; that they can't tell
by its shape whether it was originally
made for a fat woman or lean man !;
tor man with sway back or a man
with hump on his back like a camel.
Woman, heaven bless her, is the light of
our homes, but when she tries to make a
mans vest, the angels weep. And when
she makes pair of pantaloons for him
the immortal gods just hold their sides
and run away out into the woods and
roll on the grass and howl.
