Two Headed symbols.

Both Russia and Germany display
two headed eagles on their stan lards.
Yet this symbol is considered by some
heralds to be merely the result Of the
heraldic practice Of "dimidiation' This
was simply child'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 one and the sinister half Of the other
and placing them back to back as 1t
were. Strange two headed beasts nat
urally resulted, as, for instance, when
lion and an eagle were halved and
Joined together. The griffin is sup
posed to have been evolved from two
lions rampant by dimidiation. 1t robs
the two headed eagle Of half it's ter
rors to know that it owes it's origin
to this sort of child's play.

Among the insects that can be claim
ed as friends Of the market grower
probably none are more useful than
the ladybirds. 1t is said that in
medieval times this insect was sacred
to the virgin. hence its popular name.
although in these prosaic tir1es we
may" says the Fruitgrower, 'have got
over the superstition regarding the in
sect's sacredness so far as the virgin
is concerned, for the good they do they
should be sacred to every market grow
er. Perhaps the most beautiful Of all
the family is the eighteen spotted lady

MAKE FIND IN coLFAx WATER.
Mysterious Well Has Been Struck In
CITY of Mineral Springs.

Colfax, Sept. 10.-Friday afternoon
we'll diggers completed the sinking OF
a seventy foot well at the Mrs Mary
Grant residence on East Division street
where an unusual flow of water was
struck, or else a boiling spring forms
the bottom Of the well. The water
does not rise in the excavation, but
either bubbles up or else is rapidly
running underground stream at least
several feet across. Objects dropped
into it would seem to prove the latter
theory.
BY person approaching the runs
bling can be heard over hundred feet
away.
The only investigation made was by
aid of a mirror with which a reflection
could be thrown to the bottom of the
well, lighting it so that all was plainly
seen.
A lighted candle lowered seven or
eight feet into the well was extinguish-
ed, apparently indicating what is u.s.
ually known as "damps."

ton of the railway to the producer
have never been fully and properly
presented, and that such q course of
lectures by the men who can speak
with the greatest authority would have
the utmost value. The lectures will be
reprinted and published by the col
lege as experiment station bulletins.

be given Wednesday evening, Septem-

JOkai's Joke.

At banquet held in his honor in the
town Of Tarda, Maurus Jokai, the Hun
garian writer, was called upon to pro-
pose the toast Of 'The Ladies'" He
made an excellent speech, during which
he continually toyed with the brown
curls upon his forehead. Finally he
said: II raise my glass in honor Of the
gracious ladies of Torda. May they all
live until my hair grows gray" His
audience drank to the toast but it was
easy to see by the faces of the ladies
present that they did not think much
Of the compliment. Jokai rose again
from his seat and took from his head
a magnificent brown wig, showing an
entirely bald head beneath it. my
hair" he added, will never grow
gray" And the ladies', who had not
known Of his badness, were NOR, than
pacified.

who was working very hard to get

could, and for few moments Florence
