czar's predecessors, was once the guest
Of German prince. TWAS early in tho
century In Russia the imperial double
headed eagle is TO be seen everywhere
and on everything throughout the en-
pire, stamped, painted, embroidered or
sculptured. At that period the education
of grand dukes was somewhat limited.
This grand duke went out shooting in
Germany and, among other things, shot
a large bird He asked an experienced
huntsman who accompanied him what
the bird was. "An eagle your high-
ness, +" was the answer. The grand duke
turned on him in an irritated way.
