The ostrich feather FIST assumed by he
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 Ycrkists, and it is frequently figured
on copes of the period. The broom pod
was the symbol Of thu P!auta-cnets, and it
is found chiefly in conjunction with the
white hart and the suns rays da-tinG up
ward from behind Il cloud. The white
hart, with Royal crown on IFS neck, from
which falis chain, occurs frequently in
embroidery of the date OF Richard 1.-THE
emblem, indeed, was rationa! at 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 it. II was
the fashion to array dogs in ornamental!
collars embroidered with gold, and the
kings fsvorite 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 aud
leaped to the Duke OF Lancastcr's should
ers, caressing linn as he formerly used TO
caress the king.

How He Was Cured.

1t is told in Harper's Young People of
the lannon's naturalist, Button, that he was
very fond of lying in bed late in the morn
ing. Wishing to cure himself of this bad
habit, he promised his servant, Joseph, a
crown for each morning he could get his
master up at o'clock. For several days
Joseph tried to induce him to set out of
bed early, but without success. He was
only abused and driven out OF the room By
his master. Yet every day when Button
arose he lamented that he had not gotten
up sooner.
You Go not manage it right" he said
angrily to Joseph. You ought to remern-
Der only the crown 1 promised you and
pay no attention to what say when l an
sleepy"
So Joseph determined to try again. The
next morning he dragged his master ont OF
bed by main force. He was unuindful OF
scoiding, threats or even blows. Later in
the day he was rewarded for his persiscency
by the promised crown, and his master
bestowed the same every day that his
faithful servant made him get up early in
spite of himself

Georgian s1en and Women.

The natives CT Georgia, country in
Asia, situated on the south side Of the
Caucasian range, and now included in the
Russian government Tiilis, belong TO the
Caucasian race and have beeu Is 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 a 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 nobies 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-
vided the whole population into the classes
OF MOBILES and scrfs, nearly equivalent to
those OF masters and slaves, though still
subsisting, has been greatly modified. The
Georgians belong to the Greek church, and
the Bible was translated into their native
language as early as the beginning OF the
Fifth century

the spider can have nothing to eat. To
prevent such an accident requires its con-
slant attention, and like the captain OF q
ship the brave little animal takes up its
position in the centre of its silsen home
and remains there until the blow" is
over. Here the spider is in full control.
The middle Of the web is the central station
to which all news relating TO its glisteling
domain is sent. Every vibration, even at
the most distant point, is instantly tele-
graphod to headquarters, and if the news
be OF vital Importance, the spider leaves for
the scene of danger at once. There it may
find that a strand has broken loose which,
unless instantly repaired. viii completely
ruin the web
But sometimes the accident is OF such
nature that to repair the damage calls for
considerable ingenuity. For instance, the
lower part of the web is often fastened TO
weed. When the wind begins TO @!ow the
weed gently bows its head, and the danger
TO the web becomes very great; another
bow more lowly than before and the strands
snap, leaving the web tapping like Il sail
IN a wind. The spider hurres down, but
everything is in confusion; the broken
strands ara flying in all directions. To
fastea them to the weed again is out Of the
question, and yet something must be done,
and done at once Well, this is the way
one little spider solved the difficulty. 1t
quickly lowered itself to the ground and
procured a small chip Of wood around
which it fastened thread. 1t then hung
this TO the lower part of the web with a
strong silken cable
The effect was wonderful It kept the
web firm, and yet gave enough to yield
to the wind. Accidentally ii was knocked
of, but the spider recovered it and hung it
as before. The web suffered no further in
jury although the wind blew very hard
Some spiders use a very small stone in
stead of chip Of wood, and even fasten
the weight to web which is five or six
feet from the ground.

Suggestions About sw;mmInr

The following suggestions to boys and
girls are from An instructor in the art OF
swimming: Never battle alone if YOU can
avoid it. II Won get the cramp, do not
fight the water aimlessly Try to throw
yourself on your back TO float, kicking out
vigorously, as crainp may often be checked
in this fashion, and call for assistance If
you go to The aid of any one attacked by
cramp, keep clear Of them and do not let
them clutch You. Assist them either by
towing them by the hair or by pushing
item il front of you, if possible
BE careful not to swim out to sea with
out remembering that you viii have as far
TO swim back. Girls should never battle
in u dress of material which, when wet.
will cling round the limbs! Dry yourself
thoroughly after bathing, dress quickly
and take a short, brisk walk to restore per
feet circulation. When you get home
battle the face and hands IN soft water to
prevent chapping.
Those who cannot swim should relnem-
Der that in floating it IS essential to throw
the head well back, to fill the chest full of
air and to have the legs and feet close to-
gether and under complete control. Ex-
tending the arms straight out on level
with the shoulders, palms up, is good
plan also. To teach swimmingor floating,
spot where the water shelves gradually
should be chosen, and the friend assisting
should stand about waist deep beside the
learner with a hand placed firmly beneath
the pupils spine to afford rather moral
than actually physical support. When the
art Of floating hiss been acquired, you can
easily learn to swim with a little instruc-
ton from friend who can swim, remem-
bering to keep the head and chin well up,
and to take long, even-not irregular or
durrieG-strokes

BLIND HORSES.

Entertaining Facts and Theories About
Their Singular Peroeptive Powers.
The way in which blind horses can go

made that it is Deither shade nor shelter
which warns them Of the danger. Ga an

behavior is the same. Their oitactory
nerves doubtless become very sensitive for

mally developed sense of hearing which
leads them to DO this. Tor they will act
alike though the water he sta&uaut pool.
Men who have been blind for any great
length Of time develop somewhat similar
instincts 10 blind horses. Some one says
that none OF the five senses has anything
to do with this singular perceptive power,
but that the impressions are made on the
skin of the face and b. Ii transmitted 10
the brain, and this 'uurecogn.Zed sense
ne calls facial perception But possibly
this perceptive power may have its origin
