The shane of the Shoe.

Our Puritan fathers wore shoes mod
erately peaked. About 1880 square toes
made their appearance. In the reign of
Mary, who died in 1868, there was a
proclamation issued that no person
should wear shoes over two inches wide
at the toes. Square toes began to lose
favor in 1857. In our newspapers from
1915 to 1875 round toes became more
common, and peaked ones less, accord
ing to descriptions given of shoes on
runaway slaves and servants. From
1877 shoe toes continued in a small pro
portion and became mostly pointed
This shape lasted nearly a hundred
years. Square toes began again in 1925
and in 1886 were succeeded by round
toes.-Boston Herald.

A Mnnia for Decorations.

There are Frcnchmen, according to NJ.
Simon, who collect decorations Just as
others collect postage stamps. In GER
tain official positions it appears the one
thing is hardly more difficult than the
other. Il knew" he says, two public
officials who had this inoffensive mania.
One was fat The chain on which he
hung his medals spread across his ample
chest and struck downward and was lost
to view in his waistcoat pocket, in the
interior of which the imagination pic.
tured further honorary insignia. The
other was thin, to his great disgust, and
he could only exhibit some thirty deco
ratiOns in a row. Some one advised him
to wear a double line, just as unruly
convicts wear a double chain. He did
so, and he was quite right. His breast
was a collection of all the animals OF
creation in gold, silver and enamel. II
amused people to look at all this while
he was speaking, and they were very
glad of this little distraction, for he was
an ass. "-LOndon News.

A Typical Mississippi Steamboat.

The City of Providence was one of Il
long line of Mississippi boats edging the
broad, clean, sloping levee that fronts
busy St. Louis. She was by far the
largest and handsOmest of the packets,
but all are of one type, and that is
worth describing. They are, SO far as
remember, all painted white, and are
very broad and low. Each carries two
tall black tunnels, capped with a bullying
ornamental top, and carrying on rods
swung between the tunnels the trade
mark of the company cut ont of sheet
iron, an anchor or an initial letter, a
fox or a swan, or whatever.
There are three or four stories to these
bOats-hrst the open main deck for
freight and for the boilers and engines,
then the walled in saloon deck, with a
row of windows and doors cut alternately
close beside one another and with pro-
fuse Ornamentation by means of jig saw
work wherever it can be put, and last
of all the Texas" or officers quarters,
and the bureau" or negro passengers
cabin, forming the third story.
Most of the large boats have the big
square pilot house on top of the Texas"
but others carry it as part of the third
story in front Of the Texas" The pilot
house is always made to look graceful
by means of an upper fringe of jig saw
ornament, and usually carries a deer's
head or pair of antlers in front of it

ADescription of the Heart.

Here is a question and answer of a
high school pupil:
Briefly describe the heart and its func-
tons or work The heart is a comical
shaped bag. The heart is divided into
several parts by fieshy petition. These
parts are called right artillery, left ar
tillery, and 50 forth. The function of
the heart is between the lungs. The
work of the heart is to repair the differ
ent organs in about half a minute.-Miss

A HORSE THIEF CAUGHT.
Detective o'Meara Makes a Lengthy
Chase but Meets With Sue

Information was received this
morning by James p. NewcOmb,
at the police station, from James
NewcOmb, Jr., who has charge of
the DignOwity ranch near Brack-
EFT, Texas, requesting that the
police officers arrest man named
j. p. Preston.
1t seems that twOs weeks ago Mr..
NewcOmb arrived in San Antonio
with bunch of cattle. He disposed
of the stock and left by rail for his
home. He placed four horses in
care of Preston, who was ordered
to return with them to the ranch.
1t had been almost two weeks
since the ranchman's departure.
and neither the horses nor man
had put in an appearance.
Detective Mike O'Meara was de-
tailed to work up the case, and
learned at a South Flores street
stock yard that the horses had been
sold by this man, and that he had
been on a spree for several days.
The detective jumped into a buggy
and worked diligently until u
o'clock, chasing Preston every
where, until at this hour he was
located at Krempkau's saloon near
the |. q G. n. CepOt. He acknowl-
edged having sold the horses, but
offered no reason for the occur
renee, He was taken before JUS
tice Gritf Jones where a charge of
horse theft was preferred against
him by James P. Newc0lnb. He
was committed to the county jail
in default of a $1,000 bond, to await
the action Of the grand jury.

a RemarkabIe Do.

The death is announced Of popular
member Of the staff of the Great East
ern Railway, namely, the black-and
tan collie dog long familiar % passen-
gers at the Lowestoft station. This
well known animal appears to have
originally appointed himself 70 fulfill
the duty Of starting the trains, but
time and habit seem to have fully rat
lied the appointment By marvellous
instinct the collie, it is said, seemed 70
know the exact time at which train
should begin its journey, and a restless
excitement characterized him as the
appointed time drew near As the
bell uttered its first sound he would
scamper down the platform, and. plant
ing himself close 70 the engine, bark
f1lrionsly until the wheels began 70
move Satisfied apparently in this re-
spect, he would next make move for
I the guards van and hurry the guard
4 TO his post. As the train passed out Of
( the station he retired. and no more was
seen of him till a similar operation had
4 to be repeated on the departure Of an
Z other train. No other bell than that
used for starting purposes would
T bring the animal TO view.
