A Funny Eagle.

A Russian grand duke, one of the czar's predecessors, was once the guest of German prince. It Was early in the 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 tuucation 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 n irritated way. ''How can it be ;sn eagle, he asked, "when it has only one head?"-San Francisco Argonaut.

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmnge, undoubtedly the greatest living divine, occupies in the hearts and minds of the people position of prc-cmincnt esteem and regard. No other preacher Is SO widely known, no other clergyman is so distinguished throughout the world. A great orator and writer, his sermons have the widest dis semlnation, until there Is scarcely family where his name and works are not known. When such q man, a recognized leader and teacher of the people, testiiies by his written testimonial that Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy has helped him and that he recommends its use for lnvigoTation after over-work. to restore the strength, energy, nerve force and vitality of the system, when for any reason they are lost, weakened or inn paired, those who are sick and suffering, who arc weak, nervous, without strength, energy and ambition, who are discouraged and disheartened by repeated failures to be cured, in fact all who have need of a strength-giving and health restoring med icine, can take renewed hope from the words of this great preacher, that Dr. Greene's Nervura Is the one remedy among all others to give them back the health and strength they have lost.
 Rev. Dr. Talmage says;

RUSSIAN WOMEN.
Not Long Ago They Were Treated as the
 Turkish Women Are.

Not Long Ago They Were Treated as the
 Turkish Women Are.
 It is curious to think what a short time it is since the emperors of Russia treated their womankind in the same way they are still treated in Turkey. says writer i'll the Montreal Star. In those days the czar chose his wife from among his subjects, and she was never considered his equal. The matters were arranged in this way-on certain day the nobles brought their young daugh- ters to be looked at, and she who took the emperor's fancy was forthwith cho- sen to be his wife.
 The princesses were kept with the same strictness as eastern princesses, and marriage only changed their place of residence, but gave them no more freedom. They were allowed occasional ly to be present when guests were re- ceived, to whom they would hand a cup of wine and then retire to their apart ments, there being a suit of rooms at the north side of the palace reserved es- pecially for them.
 If they were ill, the room was dark ened before the doctor was admitted, and he was not even allowed to feel their pulse, and when they drove out the windows of their carriages had drawn curtains
 The first czarina who emancipated herself from this state of slavery, and so instituted a new and happier era for Russian women, was the beautiful Ma thalie Neryschki, the second wife of Alexis MichaeIovitch and the mother of Peter the Great, and her first triumph was when she obtained her husband s consent 10 Grive with him in an open carriage to the monastery of Troitzky, a proceeding which at the time occasioned a great scandal.
 Naturally, when the Russian princes began to intermarry with other Euro pean royal families, they were obliged to treat their wives differently. but it was long time before the court of Rus sia became as civilized as the rest of Europe.

Small School.

A bright answer is put down to the credit of Dr. Fitchett, brother of the ed itor of the Australian Review of Re- views. He was member of colonial parliament, wherein one day certain eccentric and elderly member named Taylor insisted on making a speech on education. The oration consisted of hyperbolical eulogy of the board of schools in MT. Taylor's constituency. Dr. Fitchett interjected some jocose ex- pression of doubt. "Why, sir, said the irate Taylor, turning upon him, lat this very moment I have school in my eye"- "No, only one pupil, MT.

The most remarkable thing about Mrs. Nellie J. Lord, of Strafford Corner, N. H., is that she is alive today.
 No one, perhaps, is more surprised at this than Mrs. Lord herself. She looks back at the day when she stood on the verge of death and shudders. She looks ahead al a life of happiness with her children, her hts band and her home with joy that only mother can realize.
 Mrs. Lord is the mother of three children, two of whom are twins; unt1 the twins came nothing marred the joy of her fife.
 Then she was attacked with heart fa:lare and for year was unable to attend to the ordinary duties of the home. h describing her own experience Mrs. Lord says:

TennysOn and Birds.

Agnes Weld, d niece of Tennyson, speaks thus of the poet in The Contem- porary Review: Much as Tennyson mo- ticed every individual tree and plant, bird life had still greater attraction for him. He was much touched by the fact that the caged linnet loses the red plumage from its head and breast at the first mott after its captivity, and never regains them, and he thought of devoting a whole poem to the deep yearning for liberty of which this was the sign and type. And one reason he climbed almost daily, when at Fresh water, to the summit of the Beacon down was because he loved to watch the wild, free flight of the sea gulls cir cling around its lofty cliffs

BRITISH HISTORY WRONG.
A Misleadlng Account of the Battle of
 White Plains.

A. Mis1eading Account of the Battle of
 White Plains.
 In its series of supplements recount ing The Battle Honors of the Services" The British Navy and Army Illustrated once in awhile says something about the British forces in the Revolutionary be inaccurate.
 The cover of one issue of the "Bat- tle Honors" has a spirited picture of Bragg's grenadiers winning the battle of White Plains, where they won the name of the ''Slashers, because they threw away their fiintlocks and carried an intrenchment with their short swords The picture is entitled "The Slashers at the Battle of White Plains, 1775."
 The battle of White Plains was fought, as a matter of fact, on Oct 28, I776. It is stated in the publication that Washington sent 8, GOO men to oc- cupy a hill above the ford of the "Brunx," and that this position was carried by the "SIashers' with their swords. It is also said that "soon after this turning movement General Wash ington, abandoning his stores, retired with his army toward Connecticut ''
 As 8 matter of fact the position re- ferred to was held by l, 400 Americans under General McDougal and was car ried by British force of 4,OOO. One would think from reading the British version of the fight that the "Slashers" whipped the entire American army. There were other British regiments en- gagged in the work of carrying Chatter ton hill, and it is unfair to them to give all the credit to the "Slashers.
 Of what took place after the position was carried the version given by The Navy and Army Illustrated is deliber- ately misleading. The facts are that when the hill was carried General Mo- Dougal retired to Washington's camp with loss of so prisoners and 100 kill ed and wounded. The British lost 229 killed and wounded. Howe did not dare to attack Washington. but sent for re- achievements, and on Nov. 5 moved his augmented army to Dobbs Ferry. Washington, being confronted by supe- rior numb bers retired, not toward Con- necticut, but across the Hudson to New Jersey on Nov. 9.
 When nation starts out to write its military history and distorts it in some particulars, it makes one doubt the truth of all. The truth about the battle of White Plains would rebound just as much to the glory of the 'Slashers' as does the perverted account published by the navv and army. v.-New York Press
