THE TWO HEADED EAGLE.
Origin of the CustoE, of Its Ure as a
National Symbol.

National symbol.
Austria and Russia today use the two
headed eagle us one of their symbols.
The origin OF the custom Is clouded
more or less in obscurity. Professor
a. III. Saycc, the authority on eastern
antiquities, traces the travels of the
symbol from primitive Babylonia down
to the present time. In describing an
ancient block of sculptured stone found
in the east Professor Sayce says: "The
block bears upon the inner side the
figure of a double headed eagle, with
an animal believed to be hare In
either talon and Il man standing OH
its twofold head. The same double
headed figure, supporting the figure of
II man or god, is met With at Boghuz
kcni and must be regarded as one Of
the peculinrlties of lIittite symbolism
and art The symbol, whose prototype
goes back to primitive Babylonia, was
adopted In later days by the Turcoman
princes who hnh porhMrs h"st enni. 1t
on the IIittite monuments of Cnppa-
docia, and the crusaders brought 1t to
Europe with them in the fourteenth
century Here 1t became the emblem
of the German rmperors, who have
passed 1t on to the modern l,ingdoms
of RUSSIA and Austria. 1t is not the
only heirloom of lIittite art which has
descended to us of today

Majesty of the Law.

A great deal is said of the majesty
of the law. and Il sonorous phrase has
been coined to express it, but its majes-
ty resides in the sternness, prompt
ness, impartiality and fearlessness with
which laws are enforced and the au-
thority of the courts vindicatel II the
tempt it has been done by no act Of
criminals or of intending offenders, but
by the weakness and failures Of the Of
icers Of the law and the ministers Of
justice to maintain the majesty with
which the law should clothe Them
