was First Used by the Ancient Etrus-
cans.
The ancient Etruscans hr-t took the
eagle as a symbol of royal power, and
bore it's image upon their standards.
The Romans adopted the same custom
in 81 B. C. A silver eagle with expand
ed wings, poised on the top of a
spear with a thunderbolt held in its
claws, was adopted as the military
standard to be borne at the head of
their legions. This image was made
OF silver until the time Of Hadrian,
after which it was made of gold. The
standard adopted by the Byzantine en-
perors was a two-headed eagle, as a
symbol of their control OF both The east
and the west. From these cary stand
ards came all the eagles on the stand
ards of modern Europe. The double
headed eagle Of Russia was adopted on
the marriage of Ivan /. with a Grecian
princess of the eastern empire; that of
Austria was first used when the en-
peror of Germany took the title Of Ro-
man emperor. The national standard
of Russia bears a black eagle, that of
Poland a white one. Napoleon l.. took
a golden eagle for his standard. mod
eled of pure gold and bearing a thun-
derbolt, after the pattern of the eagle
of Rome. The emblem used in the
United States is the large bald-headed
eagle. 1t was in favor here, no doubt
because of its connection with the Ro,
mans, those early champions of civil
liberty. The design of an eagle was
suggested for a national flag, but wa:
abandoned for the simpler design Of
the stars and stripes. 1t has often
been used on regimental flags. The
eagle was first used on American colT
in 1888, on cents and half-cents ISSUED

CAMEO cARviNo.
Brief Description OF tho Tools ana rle
ALethoa EmpIoNed.

Method Employed.
All the tools used by the cameo cary
er would make but a handful. The
worker sits before a wheel turned by
a pedal surface on which the workers
hands rest while he holds the shaped
stone OF shell beneath the neodle-like
drill. The little pointed instruments
which are used to drill resemble those
employed by a dentist, and, indeed. It
was from the cameo carver's kit that
the dentists got many of their ideas
when the tools now in use by theta
came to be manufactured, thirty years
ago. The drills vary in thickness az
cording to the portion Of the figure or
design to be executed; some are as in
as the point of a cambria needle. A
small china receptacle also stands near
filled with oil and diamond dust, and
into this the workman frequently dips
his tool during the progress Of mis-
work. The cameo cltter's occupatio-
is very exacting. H can put in only
a few hours work at a time, as a
thing, because of the tension on his
nerves. A quavering hand may be re-
sponsible for the single stroke wh.ca
will spoil a weeks work. lie must
have an eye almost Ike a microscope
and a very delicate touch; he must BE-
an artist in soul and as skilled q
craftsman as is a matchmaker; h.
must know how to model and draw.
and he must have a knowledge OF
chemistry, so as to remove offending
spots. The work is executed in reiiei
on many kinds of hard or precious
stones, but essentially the chalcedonic
variety of quartz, and on shells. The
cameo cutter himsel, prefers onyx be-
cause Of it's dark ald light layers.
which throw out in bold relief a white
head, say, against a Z ack background.
He evolves his picture by removing all
that portion of the waite stratum re-
naming after the head has been com
pleted. Sapphire block are used, car
n%alian, turquoise, anne. hyst and nu-
merous other stones. /. takes about
one month to execute g. portrait on
onyx, while much less tiile is consum-
ed if the work is done o. she'll. There
is always great danger 81 the latter
breaking, and its %durabilitJ, too, is not
great, so that shell. as a rule, is not
as desirable as the harder materials.
A portrait on onyx will cos 5000, while
one in shell may be had for $50. The
inquiries for these are rare. and build
ing up a patronage is SLOW, and is ac-
accomplished mainly by satisfied GUS
toners influencing others.-New York

Indiana Inventor Connects Cities at Sinai
Expense.

Indiana Inventor Connects Cities &C hmni
Expense.
A telephone system has been opened
at Anderson. Indiana. that ls one of
tile most unique and interesting things
Of the kind In the country. IL Is q
long-distance line. and the wire is the
upper strand of barhed wire fences.
reaching from Anderson To Ingalls,, q
distance Of twelve miles. IL is the idea
Of an eccentric inventor Of Pendleton,
Cassius Alley, and he has already be-
gun to reap his little harvest. There
are two long-distance lines Of the big
companies between the two points, but
Alley, with his b~arbed-wire affair, has
entered the list and proposes to get
business by giving cheaper rates.
The Big -Four has a b~arbed-wire fence
most Of the distance along its right Of
way from Anderson to ingalls,. Alley has
taken the upper strand of wire for his
unique telephone. Three miles from
Anderson the line leaves the railway
line and cuts along farm fences. Where
a road is crossed an overhead or under
ground wireis strung. Crossing streams
there arc overhead connections. The
boxes are such as are used by the big
telephone companies.
There are two charter subscribers. A
firm has an office here and a factory at
Ingalls,, and has them connected. An
other firm has a store at Anderson and
one at Pendleton and has them con
nected. The lines work splendidly. AL
ley gets $50 a year from each firm.
Other places win be connected. and in
a short time all six wires on the fences
will be in service. 1t is then the inten-
ton to connect a line from pendletOn
to Greenfield, and If Alley can do 1t he
viii soOn have in service every wire
fence in the county. He looks forward
to n big business in the way Of rural
telephone service.
In some places the barbed wire has
been insulated with n coating of rub
Der paint. Most places, however, small
boys will have to keep of or get a
shock every time the bell rings. Hunt.
ers, too, will have to look out. The ser.
vice is practical and tirst-class in every
respect.

Followers Of Mother Ann Lee Are Be
ing Depleted in Number.
The birthplace Of the Shaker relig-
ion in New England is Harvard, a pic
turesaue little Massachusetts town
about forty miles west of Boston. 1t
was here that Mother Ann Lee, an
English woman, came in the summer
of 1871 with a little band Of devoted
followers to expound the doctrines OF
her faith. Today there are two settle
ments Of Shakers in the n~eighboring
towns OF Harvard and Shirley. Dur
ing the last fifty years interest in the
Shakers has gradually died out, and
the membership all yer New England
has grown smaller and smaller. AS
there are never any births in a Shaker
family, the only hope Of growth lies In
taking in new membership from the
outside. OF course, the logical result
Of such a theory is that deaths viii de-
plete the ranks. and so today the COM
munities at Harvard and Shirley are
not as large and prosperous as they
were once. A large proportion Of the
two families are old men and women
and there are a few young members
to take their places in the years to
come.
