EAGLE AS AN EMBLEM

The first nation to adopt the eagle
as a symbol of royal power was the
Etruscans of ancient Italy, who bore
the image of an eagle at the head OF
their armies. The figure of an eagle
also was borne by the Persians at
Cunaxa in 401 B. G.
The eagle became the standard Of
the Roman legions in the time OF
Marius. The Roman eagle was repre-
scented with outspread wings. The
Byzantine emperors had as their en-
blem a double-headed eagle, signif-
cant of their claim to empire in both
East and West. The eagle was later
adopted by the German emperors and
by the rulers Of Prussia, Poland and
Russia. Charlemagne added the sec
ond head to the eagle for his arms
to signify that the empires of Rome
and Germany were united under him.
The eagle was the standard Of Napo-
leon and was restored to France dur
ing the second empire.
The design for the great seal Of
the United States, embracing a
spread-eagle, was suggested to John
Adams, then Minister to Great Brit
ain, by Sir John Prestwich, an emil
nent English antiquary, and was
adopted by congress in 1882.

LIGHTNING DOES NOT DAMAGE

Lightning, that mysterious force
generated in the powerhouse Of Ma
ture, which often sets fire to hay
stacks, frame houses and barns, has
never been known to seriously dam
age:
Railroad trains or locomotives,
Buildings with metallic grounded
sides and roofs,
Buildings which have frame works
composed wholly of metal,
Grounded steel windmill towers,
Steel battleships and cruisers,
Business blocks and apartment
houses in cities.
The explanation of this phenom-
enon is simple, for most of these OBJ
jects conduct electricity so well that
electricity induced in the earth is
drawn up through them and dispersed
into the atmosphere, thus dissipating
the charge Of electricity before it be-
comes strong enough to produce a
fash If a lightning stroke to one of
these obpects does occur, the mass Of
metal entering into its composition
will usually conduct the current safely
to the ground.

Il have been suffering from kidney
troubles for the past eight years, and
the pains in my back at times would

to tear my stomach all to pieces. You
do not have to take my word for what

tell you the same thing. My case has
been the talk of the neighborhood, and
everybody is praising the medicine.

PRINTED LETTER HEADS

When | get letter from a farmer
written with ink on a printed letter
head, | assume at once that here
is reading man and an intelligent
farmer, and much the contrary is the
impression when / get a letter scrawl-
ed in pale pencil on dark, poor paper
which makes it hard for old eyes to
read. Then another advantage in
the printed letter head, especially
when the letter is from business
man, is that many of these business
men make their signature in the most
complex manner, and but for the
printed name at top | could hardly
know to whom to send the reply,
One can guess at a good deal in any
ones letter, but can not guess at a
signature that is Unreliable. w. f.
Massey, in The Progressive Farmer.

AN APPRECIATION OF
REV. CHESLEY BOWDEN

~
Rev. Chesley Bowden, the late pas.
tor Of the Charleston Baptist church,
has resigned. The church refused to
accept his resignation and reelected
him pastor, but Mr.. Bowden is going
to school now and is. going to college
in September. He hasn't time to take
the church and do his duty as he
thinks it should be done.
Since Mr.. Bowden has been labor
ing in this field, he has gained the love
and sympathy of both old and young
people of this community. There has
been the greatest change for the bet
ter in this, year of time. Mr.. Bowden
gained the love Of the people by TAX
ing an interest in the young boys and
girls and by visiting the homes of all.
He never failed to visit the sick of
this community. He was always ready
to do anything to help us, or he was
willing to reason with the sinners and
show them the right way He sue
ceeded in building up the Sunday
school and this years record is the
best that has been since this church
has been built.
We are sorry that he can not be
with us this year; but, since he thinks
it is best not to take the church, we
wish him much success in his school
work and any other work that he may
undertake. We hope he will have the
best of health, and may he be able to
accomplish the purpose he has in
mind. We wish to thank him for his
goodness and kindness for serving as
pastor, because he left an impression
Of the real life on some Of the boys
and girls that will never fade away.
We hope some day we may again
call him our pastor We want him
to know he will always find friends
and a welcome among the people Of
Charleston. A FRIEND.

Perhaps our grandmothers did. too. l

didn't, and for that matter that our
grandchildren won't. I hope It's just
passing phase Of bad manners.
! wish we talked guests over much
less, even in the privacy Of our imme-
diate families. It Is sometimes temp
