The Eaole.

The symbol of the two-headed eagle
is considered by some heralds to be
merely the result of the heraldic
practice of Humiliation" which crept
into English heraldry during the reign
of Edward i. Dimidiation was simply
a ehfld's way of impaling two coats
of arms on the same shield by the
primitive method of cutting each In
half and taking the dexter half of
n and the sinister half Of the other
and placing them back to back, as it
were. Strange tWo-headed beasts ma
turally resulted, as, for instance, when
a lion and an eagle were halved and
Joined together, and the griffin is
supposed to have been evolved from
two lions rampant by Humiliation. 1t
robs the two,headed eagle of half it's
terrors to know that 1t owes it's origin
to this sort Of chi1d's play. The cry
phon and mock turtle that went out to
e with the whiting are far more
serious creations.-London Daily
Chronicle.

Origin of City Plans.

All cities, with few exceptions, race
the origin of their plan, to the enclosed
camp, and many still show marked
features of primitive Notifications. In
all early schemes for defence the en-
closed square was considered the best.
From the time when wagons were
merely packed on the plain to the time
when buildings. were constructed with
blank walls to the enemy, and their
facade to. the open square. this plan
has been universally adopted. and
many of the great squares or market
place Of famous cities still show un-
deniable evidences of these precau-
lions for defence. In the old city of
Brussels the square upon which faces
its wonderful city hall is approached
by streets SO narrow that they must
surely have been constructed with the
idea of defence in mind. aE IS.
We're it possible to forecast the rap
i'd development Of cities or to predict
which of Jul many cities is to become.
a metropolis the problem might not be
such a difficult, one. but such. unfor-
tunately is not the case. Even the
most vivid imagination would scarce
ly have been able to predict the nor
nous increase of population and the
consequent architectural development
of modern cities. The rapid growth of
American cities is well known, but few
realize that the older cities of Europe
have had a similar experience. The
recent increase in Berlin has exceed
ed that Of Chicago, and what is true of
Berlin is true of many other Euro
pean centres. 1t is then not surpris-
ing to note that In Hanover, Hamburg,
Nuremberg, Leipsic, Leighnitz, st.
Johan, a Saar and Madgeburg modern
municipal buildings Of great impor-
lance have recently been or are now
being Observation-Disclosures and

wHERE,oUEsTs MAY GO HUNGRY
At "NoveI" Luncheon You Are e
nected to Do Some Guessing.

pected to Do Some Guessing.
AS nine out of ten women are In
veterate readers OF fiction, the latest
idea in luncheon parties Is sure to
attract every hostess who is n searcn
of some novel entertainment. that Will
please her guests.
Invitations to a luncheon party fef
20 guests, who, must perforce be wen
versed in modern fiction, are SEM Out
by the up-to-date hostess. The invita-
ton. cards bear the picture OF a CLOS,
ed book, and the words simply IN
innate sthat Mrs. Blank desires tae
presence of Miss Dash to a mover
luncheon. On the arrival OF the
guests in the dining room, it IS seen
that ten round tables are arranged
round the room, and that each table
has a different scheme of decoration.
In fact, every table is designed 10
carry out the representation OF q
well-known novel, and before the
guests are allowed to be seated the
names of the item works of fiction
must be guessed. Prizes are,
course, awarded to the quickest guess
er, and the fortunate ones are al
lowed to partake of luncheon before
their less astute friends.
The favorite novel, "The Four Feath'
els" Is one that lends itself to a very
effective arrangement In white feath'
ers, and an incident in the book
should be illustrated by a decoration
in the centre. When possible, some
article of food mentioned in the book
should be supplied by the menu for
this table. Barrie's Little White
Bird" is a story that can be graphic
ally carried out at a novel" luncheon
and "Trilby' is still another celebrat-
ed work Of fiction that suggests itself
as easy to arrange and easy to guess.
Under Two Flags" makes quite an
artistic table, with its setting of ex-
otic flowers surmounted by the two
flags, and "a japanese Marriage can
also be pictorially represented. AT =
novel; luncheon given. the other day
by a writer of fiction to other profess
SIGNALS, the hostess had provided a
~tablecloth made ofSwhite. blue and
pink blotting paper pteced together,
while the centre ornament consisted
of a bowl made from newspapers and
filled with coxcombs. This flower, as
was explained by the hostess, was
the symbol of the critics who had un-
favorably reviewed her works of fc,
ton. The name cards were slips OF
paper familiar to all the guests, and
were nothing less than the printed
messages of regret returned with the
manuscripts from %unfeeling editors.
This table was called the consolation
table, and those who were unable to
guess more than half the names OF
the novel" tables were consigned to
sit among the ranks of the rejected.

How Jerry Kept His Promise.

In a year of bad crops and great
distress, some of the tenants of my
great grandfather, Gumb1eton, like
many of their neighbors. took to run
ming away with stock and crops, leav-
ing empty lands for their. landlords.
!. Gdfnbleton begged one of his ten
ants, in whom he had some. though
perhaps not much. confidence. not to
such an evil example. you
will -solemnly promise me, Jerry" said
he, that at any rate you viii not go
without giving me warning" Jerry
solemnly promised.
One bleak and stormy winter night,
Gumbleton. while retiring to bed
about midnight, was startled by the
noise of gravel flung at hh windows.
He looked out into the darkness and
called. "Who is there?"
Its Jerry Hagarty, yer honor"
shouted d voice through the storm.
ooh, Jerry. Is that yourself? What
business have you on such a night,
man?"
.Just to keep my promise of giving
warning to your honor. Il said. you
know / wouldn't run away without
letting you know of It: I am running
away now. Good night to your honor
and good-by.''
Z So Jerry ran away, stock, crops and
all being also enroute.-The Gael.
