The ostrich feather first assumed by the
Black Prince of England was the chosen
device of his son, Richard II, for his flags
and personal garments. The ostrich feather
and the white swan were the cognizance
of the Yorkists, and it is frequently figured
on copes of the period. The broom pod
was the symbol of the Plautagenets, and it
is found chiefly in conjunction with the
white hart and the suns rays .darting up
ward from behind cloud. The white
hart, with Royal crown on its neck, from
which falls Il chain, occurs frequently in
embroidery of the date Of Richard 1.-the
emblem, indeed, was national Mt the time.
The hart collared and lodged beneath green
trees in park is Richards own emblem,
so also the greyhound collared and courant.
This was the kings own dog Math, and a
touching history is attached to 1t. 1t was
the fashion to array dogs in ornamental
collars embroidered with gold, and the
kings favorite greyhound so arrayed used
to caress him by placing his two fore feet
on his shoulders. On the day that Richard
was dethroned, the dog left his master and
leaped to the Duke Of Lancaster's should
ers, caressing him as he formerly used to
cares the king.

The natives Of Georgia, country in
Asia, situated on the south side of the
Caucasian range, and now included in the
Russian government I'ifiis, belong to the
Caucasian race and have been as much
celebrated as the Circassians for the ath-
letic frames Of the men and the beauty of
the women. These qualities have created
in bygone times n large demand for the
men to serve in the armies and for the
women to become inmates OF the harems
of the Turks.
The Georgian mobiles long derived their
chief revenue from this traffic, valuing
their serfs only for the money which they
could obtain for them in the Turkish
markets. Under the Russian sovereignty.
which was established In 1900 this traffic
has ceased. and the distinction which di-
gided the whole population into the classes
Of mobiles and serfs, nearly equivalent TO
those of masters and slaves, though still
subsisting, has been greatly modified. The
Georgians belong to the Greek church, and

A pet kitten follows its mistress all
over the house when she is at work. Re-
Gently she was in an attic chamber, the
blind of the window being shut but I'M
fastened. The playful kitten ran across
the room and leaped against the blind,
which opened, and the kitten disap-
peared, but came crawling back, having
turned in the air and caught the edge Of
the gutter with its forepaws. IT was a
feat of remarkable quickness and pres
ence of mind, as the little animal had a
very short time to recover from its sur
prise at being launched suddenly into
