Origin Of HeraldIo Symbol.

Both Russia and Germany display
two-headed eagles on their standards.
Yet this symbol Is considered by some
heralds to be merely the result of the
heraldic practice of Humiliation"
This was simply child's way of i'm
paling two coats-of-arms on the same
shield by the primitive method of cut
ting each In half and taking the dex-
ter half OF one and the sinister half
OF the other and placing them back
to back, as II were. Strange two
headed beasts naturally resulted-as,
for instance, when a lion and an eagle
were halved and Joined together The
griffin is supposed to have been
evolved from two lions rampant by
humiliation. II robs the two-hesdsd
eagle of half its terrors to know that
II owes its origin to this sort of child's
play.

o'coNNELL HELD HIS AUDIENCE.
Description Of Wondrous Sway Great
Orator Exercised

Daniel O'Connell, the Irish orator,
spoke in Covent Garden, London,
many years ago and John Coleman,
an old English actor, pictures him as
follows: "The audience hung spell
bound on the words of the great ora
tor. His resonant and magnificent
voice, favored with its rich Hibernian
accent, held both soul and sense cap
tive. AS for me. my Celtic blood took
fire, my heart throbbed with passion
ate indignation or melted into tears
as he dwelt upon the wrongs OF my
beloved country. Never, surely, was
such born orator! Stern men cried
one moment and laughed the next.
Strange to say, they never laughed
in the wrong place, though once at
least he afforded them a unique op-
portunity. AS he approached the end
OF his Grafton, carried away by his
theme, he took his wig off Ca brown
jazeyD, put It in his hat and mopped
his beautiful bald brow with a great
flaming crimson bandana. The action
appeared so natural and appropriate
that no one seemed to think 1t absurd
or even incongruous."

Alone.


Alone when the day Is dawning,
Alone when the night dews fall:
Under the veil at the bridal.
Under this gloom OF the pail,
Behind impsnstrable barriers
To work out its life OF dole,
From its nrst faint CRY It'll the hour to
die
Is the doom of each mortal soul.
First tender thoughts Of the mother
Who brings 10 forth In pain,
AS she looks In the eyes OF her on
spring
Some clew to its soul to gain.
"Of what Is my baby thinking
With that g. se intent and wiser"
But ever remains the mystery,
And n~yer voice replies.
Alone Is the child In his sorrow
Over the broken toy; 81
Alone Is the stricken lover ~
Mourning vanished Joy:
Alone IL the bride at the altar
Alone the bridegroom stands
With his hidden life between them.
That-and their plighted hands.
Alone lies the wife, with the canksr
OF blightqd hope In her heart:
Alone Is the husband dreaming
OF baked ambition's smart;
And so from the birth TO the burial,
From the Cry to the latest breath,
In crowded streets, on lonely sleeps,
The soul goes alone till death.
Francis n. Haswin. In Boston Tran
Script.

What a world of misery would be
saved II other wives who are annoyed
by similar possibilities would follow
the advice given to a young woman
who thought she was losing her hus-
bands affection. She went to a sew
enth daughter of a seventh daughter
for a love powder. The mystery
woman told her: Get a raw piece Of
beef. cut ~, about an inch thick.
Slice an oNon in two and rub the
meat on both sides with 1t. Put on
pepper and salt and toast 1t on each
side over a red coal fire. Drop on 1t
three Jumps of butter and two sprigs
of parsley, and get him to eat it." The
young wife did so, and her husband
loved her ever after.

The Road.

This common road, with hedges high
Confined on either hand,
Will surely enter by-and-by
Some large luxuriant land
The many wayfarers on foot
Have toiled from stage to stage,
And others roll along the route
With easy equipage.
AL seek, methinks, that wide domain
Wherein my thoughts are set,
Press onwardt Leave the Dusty plaini
Hastsni IT'S farther yeti
And In the end shall great rspose
Descend upon my soul.
When, at the eager journeys close.
i reach the sudden goal.
Content. enlargement. fragrance, ease
JOY In the evenings cool,
The subtle silence in the trees
The CLEAN upon the pool
Dreamerl In vain thou hastenest:
That glorious land rezis-;
Take by the road thy JOY, thy rest;
The road. the road il thine.

How much money does II take to
make change for a Quarter?" queried
the man whose fad is freak mathe-

You're away out. To change a quar-
ter in the various ways it can be
done requires capital of 20 cents.
If fellow wanted plenty of coin for
his quarter he'd tax you for twenty
five pennies. On the other hand, the
man who wanted the least loose
change for his quarter would come at
you for two dimes and a nickel. The
chap who wanted a diversity of coin
in his change would get into you for
two cent pieces, one dime, and five
pennies, which would allow him to
Jingle copper, silver, and nickel in
his jeans.
Others might ask you to produce
four nickels and five pennies, three
nickels and ten pennies, two nickels
and fifteen pennies, or one nickel and
twenty pennies. II you escaped
these demands you might be request
ed to come up with five nickels, three
nickels and one dime; one nickel one
dime, and ten pennies; one dime and
fifteen pennies, OF two dimes and five
pennies. There are just twelve ways
of breaking a quarter Of current
United States coin, and to be there
with the goods for any demand you
require twenty-five pennies. two
dimes, and Ave nickels, in all. 70

proprietors of Dr. Piefces Favorite Pre-
scription are willing to offer $500 re-
ward for women who cannot be cured.
Such remarkable offer is founded on
the long record of cures of the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women. Ii
there is an invalid woman, suffering from
female weakness, prolapsus, or falling of
womb, or from leucorrhea who has used
