Ancient Emblc,ns.

The emblem Of the Egyptians con
sisted of the figure of an animal at
the end of a spear. Each of the twelve
tribes OF Indians had an emblem of
its own. The subjects of semiramis,
In compliment to their queen, whose
name meant a dove, adopted that
bird. In like manner the Athenians
chose an owl out of respect to Mi
nerva. The Corinthians had their
winged horse in memory of Pegasus.
The Carthaginians had 4 horses head
to commemorate their >emergence
from tho sea and their indebtedness
to Neptune's steeds. The Romans also
adopted the eagle to indicate the sub
lime ambition of the crested Romar
in his hour of pride. He meant to rule
the world and took the eagle because
the bird had always been associated
with Jupiter, who is represented sit
ting in a curule chair accompanied by
an eagle, which In some pictures looks
into Jupiter's face as he prepares to
hurl q t~hunderbolt, and in others
opens Its wings to. shelter and to de-
fend. All the pride of Roman power
was concentrated in the eagle, whose
eye bespoke that stern sense OF ma
jesty, and its beak and wings a power
which no other bird can equal. Homer
speaks Of Jupiter as he who o
tails and immortals rules alone" and
everywhere the sculptured castles OF
mythology represented "the father of
Gods and man." accompanied by the
majestic monarch of the clouds" AZ
his solitary living companion.

contented themselves with demanding

MAY defeat OLeO BILL.

Washington, June 4.-The effort to
force the consideration of the Grout
bill to increase the tax on oleonharga-
rine to 10 cents a pound when the
product Is colored has struck an un.
expected snag.
Tho help Of Speaker Henderson was
counted upon to secur consideration
Of the bill, and this was supposed to
be sufficient. 1t has developed, how.
ever, that the speaker does not control
the committee On rules in this matter,
and that, several Of them are decidedly
opposed to rushing the bill through
the house under q special order at 50
late a date in the season.
Mr.. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, who is
a ranking republican on the commit
tee after Speaker Henderson, made the
report in the house against calling
upon Secretary Gage for the trade Sc.
crets of the makers of oleomargarine.
General Giosvcnor, of Ohio, the
other republican member of the com.
pitten, is not an enthusiast for con
sidering the bill, and both of the dem
ocrat.c mcmberr--Mr. Richardson of
Tennessee and Mr.. Bailey of Texas
have grave doubts OF the constitu.
tional right Of congress to crush an
industry by an excessive tax. Thus
the situation is decidedly squally for
the advocates of the bill, SO far as the
committee on rules is concerned.
There arc other ways Of getting the
measure before the house, but most
OF these require the consent OF the
speaker, and he may hesitate to grant
snch consent against the protest Of

NEW TENT FOR GERMAN ARMY
Double Wallis Shelter Forty Men
Comfortably.

|rS ASVAs$ =
Comfortably.
New York Sun: Tents in the Ger
man army. as well. as In our own,
have been found wanting on the side
OF warmth, and experiments have
been under way for some years in
Germany to find O method of warm
ing them. Heated bricks, kettles Of
hot water and other plans have beer
tried without satisfaction. Recently,
however, Captain Sharr, who has
been In charge of the experiments,
has reported recommending q new
tent and q new method Of heating It.
The new tent is double walled, the
space between the canvas layers be-
ing packed with straw, leaves or
brush. Each tent has q capacity of q
half section on the war footing Corty
men), allowing eight square feet OF
surface to each man, 30 that six tents
will do for q German company on the
war footing. The tents have no verti-
cal walls, but are triangular in cross
section. about fourteen yards long
and two and one-half yards wide, the
ridge running along the larger axis.
Three OF these tents are placed to-
gether, their longest side Joining, and
one heating arrangement serves for
each set OF three tents (ls0 men).
Even without heating arrangements
there is q decided difference of tenn
pernture between the single : walled
and the double walled tent, amount
ing to about eleven degrees Fahrn-
heit. II tent floors can be used the
difference is still greater.
The heating arrangement can be
readily carried along by the troops so
us to be always available. Captain
Scharr recommends thin white sheet
iron, carried in strinsS one yard long,
one foot wide and&U2 inches thick Of
which pipes r to built about twelve
squares in section, to be placed
in channels dug under the tents.
These heating channels run across
one end of q set of three tents, the
heat being derived from a simple hole,
about four feet deep, in which a Are
is built, the latter slso serving for
cooking, the smoke being carried
away by a chimney of stones or earth.
about eighteen inches high at the
other end Of the canal. Experiments
proved that six of these tents, with
all their heating arrangements, could
be constructed BY sixty men in forty
Ave minutes. When the temperature
