The Valiant Eagle.

The eagle has been used as device
on royal banners from very remote
times. 1t was the ensign Of the an
cient kings Of Persia and Of Babylon
The Romans adopted various other
figures on their camp standards, but
Marius made the eagle the chief en-
sign of the legions, and to the subdi.
vision assigned various other figures
Constantine was the first emperor to
introduce the two headed eagle as O
royal or national device to indicate
that his empire had two heads OF
kings, but was nevertheless one body
or empire. The two headed eagle is
now used to signify double empire
Austria claims to be the successor OF
the Caesars Of Rome, and also OF
Charlemagne, and the one head repre-.
sents the eastern and the other the
western empire. Russia also has a
double headed eagle. having added

CURIOUS CARD TRICK.
It Deals With Odd Numbers, and the
EXPLANATION Is a Mystery,

Explanation Is Mystery.
There is a puzzle which may be per.
formed with any odd number of OBJ
jects, playing cards being usually EN-.
ployed. and which any one can do, but
no one seems able to explain the rea.
son for it. Let us suppose the number
selected to be twenty-seven cards. al.
though fifteen or twenty-one would do
just as well.
After having them shuffled hold them
In the left hand face upward and then
deal them face upward one at time
In three piles so that the fourth card
comes on the first and the fifth on the
top of the second and so on until you
have three piles of nine cards each.
Request any person who Is watching
you to make silent note of any card
be pIeascs, and when you have finished
dealing to tell you In which pile the
card lies. BY picking up the three piles
again one at time as before, the not.
ed card will reappear. Ask in which
pile it came that time and place that
pile in the middle as before.
Upon dealing the cards into three
piles for the third time note carefully
the card that comes in the middle Of
each pile. With twenty-seven there
will be nine in each pile and the fifth
will be the middle card. Now, when
the person who selected the card names
the pile In which his card comes you
will know it was the middle card Of
that pile. With this knowledge in your
possession you can finish the trick In
any manner you please.
This Is only statement of results,
but what Is the explanation or reason
for It? What is the rule that makes 1t
always come out right. regardless Of
the number Of objects used. SO that 1t
Is odd?-New York Sun. ~

An official announcement issued

tide Of battle may ebb and flow;
that there will be actions along this
great line which are bound to be
responded to by just as stirring
counter actions by the Germans,
and that the people must wait for
the outcome of the first phase of
this great battle, which will prob.
ably last several days before it can
be determined upon which.side vic
tory rests.
Coincidentally with Japan's de-
claration of war against Germany

nounced that the Austro-Hungarian
government has ordered the Aus
trian cruiser Kaiserin Elizabeth,
now at Tsing-Tau, to disarm and
has further instructed the crew to

raising of alfalfa, which mixed with
some other cattle forage, is the best
