THE EAGLE.

TIME eagle, as you all know. is one
of our national emblems, repre-
senting the political freedom of
which we, as a nation, are so proud
but it has been used by other nations
for centuries as an emblem of power.
Indeed, it has been so used from the
time when the world was young, and
Jupiter reigned on Mount Olympus as
tn supreme deity of the a~ncients.
That is the first appearance of the
eagle in historic or legendary lore. but
it does not explain how the bird came
to be thus distinguished. Perhaps we
do not need a specific explanation; the
strength, the noble appearance. the
majestic fight of the eagle, naturally
led to it's preferment. In many ways
It is justly entitled TO the rank of king
of birds, aud its characteristics were
no less marked in ancient times than
they are now.
1t is said that the first use of tho
bird as a symbol of royal power was by
the Etruscans, the great people whose
dominions covered that part of Italy
known, in ancient times, as Etruria.
They placed the image of the eagle on
their standards. a little less than a
century L. G. the Romans adopted the
same emblem, but instead of showing
the image on their standards they fash
toned g. silver eagle, with extended
wings and holding a thunderbolt
In it's claws. and this they placed
on the top of a spear, carrying it thus,
as a military standard, at the head of
their legions. Subsequently, in the time
of Hadrian, a golden eagle replaced
the silver one.
Still bearing its significance as the
emblem Of sovereignty. it was adopted
by the Byzantine Emperors, but as
their dominion extended over both the
East and the West. they used a two
headed eagle as their symbol, thus set
ting forth their double sway. There was
a similar significance in the adoption
of the double-headed eagle of Russia,
on the marriage of v /. with a
Grecian princess of the Eastern En-
pire; and Austria gave it's eagle two
heads when the Emperor of Germany
assumed the title of Roman Emperor.
Prussia's national standard bears the
image of a black eagle, and Poland's
that of a white one. Napoleon |. ini-
tated the Romans and took a golden
eagle for his standard, holding, as the
Roman emblem did, a thunderbolt In Its
claws.

Better Than Medicine.

The exciting and stimulating prop
critics of pure oxygen are well known,
and everyone has felt the in~vigorating
influence of fresh air; yet little practi-
cal application has been made of these
beneficial properties of a substance so
cheap and universal.
When the body is weak, the brain
fatigued, and the whole system in a
state of lassitude, just go into the open
air, take a few vigorous inspirations
and expirations, and the effect will be
instantly perceived.
The person trying the experiment will
feel invigorated and stimulated; the
blood will course with freshness, the
lungs will work with increased activity,
the whole frame will feel reviviied, n
natures stimulant will be found the
best.

WALLACE Hall CONCERT.

Wallace Hall was filled with music
lovers last night, who greeted with en-
thusiasm the efforts of Harry Levy,
violinist, and Mrs. Florence Milford
Hunt, contralto, who rave a concert
that was indeed a treat, so we'll was
each number rendered.
Considerable interest was evinced in
the young violinist, who lived on
Wickliffe street, this city, when a boy,
and attended a local public school. He
studied for several years with Otto K.
Schill, later going to Germany, where
he attended the Royal High School of
Berlin, and studied under Joachim and
Wieth. He returned to New York only
three months ago.
Mrs. Hunt is well-known to music
loving Newarkers. Though she had a
slight cold, her numbers were rendered
with the depth and variety of express
sion for which she has attained a repu-
tation. Mr.. Levy was also assisted by
Carl Binhak, violin; Josef j. Kovarik,
viola; James Liebling, a-ccompanist.
The program was well chosen and de-
lighted the audience from beginning 10
end. Mr.. Levy vas the recipient of two
huge laurel wreaths, while Mrs. Hunt
was given a large bouquet of American
-
beauty roses.
Mr.. Levy was slightly nervous at
first, but his hesitancy soon vanished,
and he played with a fire and express
sion that brought the house down.
Following is the program:
Part One-Quartet, OPP. Is, G major,
for two violins, viola and ~violoncello.
allegro, adagio cantabile, scherzo-alle-
gro, allegro motto quasi presto CBeetho-
ven), Harry Levy, Carl Binhak, Josef

A Hint to Mothers.

The most important lesson for moth
ers, and perhaps for physicians, to learn
is that milk is a food and not neces-
sarily a drink.
OF course it contains a good deal OF
water, but thirst after drinking milk Is
as common In infants as IL is in grown
people.
The cry of infants is frequently due
to thirst, and is not a demand of the
child for food; nor is it an evidence thai
the food is disagreeing with the child.
In all such cases water should be ad-
ministered literally, when. If the cry
and collie disappear, it will be seen
that the difficulty is thirst.
