The Copper-Toed Shoe.

Ha, that was footgear for you
the copper-toed boot. You couldn't
wear 1t out. You were defied to!
That was in the days when one pair
or boots was expected to last you all
one winter. No such foolish notion
prevails now. You have become ac-
customed to buying new pair Of
shoes for each OF your children every
six weeks. They would turn up their
snuuby little noses at copper-toed
footwear now.
AS long as boots were worn by
children, the copper toes were en-
tfrely logical, and the man who in
vented the metal reinforcement de-
served a crown, whether he got one
or not. There was the grievous
sight of toes wearing out while the
rest of the boot was good as ever,
and without a sound toe the boot
was bad as ruined. But the piece OF
copper at the tip baffled, to great
extent, tie mania Of the children for
kicking their toes out on the frosty
ground. The presence of pair OF
new red-topped boots (they were al-
ways very ornate as to tops) under
the Christmas tree was a challenge
to the recipient. Wear me out if
you can!" they seemed to say. Then
you would proceed to try your hard
est to do SO. In the long run you
were always victor. But the end
was delayed generally to the profit
OF your dads pocketbook. Now the
copper-toed boot has passed-almost.
l understand that there Is still a de-
mond for them in some of the rural
districts, where there aren't so many
mollycoddles.

A Printers Grim Humor.

James Burright,an old printer who
died in Des Moines recently, had a
sense Of humor that did not leave
him even when on his death bed, al
though his last manifestation of his
trait was of grim nature.
For years he had not been in COM
munication with his relatives, al
though he. had several sisters and q
brother residing in California and
another in Ohio. When Burright was
taken Ill Of typhoid fever about six
weeks ago he notified his relatives
brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews
of the fact, ana not one of them
responded to his appeal for aid. His
friends In Des Moines took charge of
the case and helped to bear his ex-
penses. They also paid the expenses
of his funeral.
Shortly before Burright died he
sent out a second letter to his unre-
sponsive relatives. 1t was simply a
printed copy Of a will purporting to
have been drawn by attorneys and
carrying the news that he had died.
Burright in this will disposed of
about $4,000 in cash. He left his
brothers and sisters each 20 900, and
to his other relatives he distributed
cash and real estate az IL he were d
millionaire.
Then there was a hurrying of dis
tant relatives to the bedside of the
dying man. He was too i'll to, see
them when they arrived, and he died
without disclosing the location of his
wealth.

Known rs the genus phrynosoma of
American lizards and that there are,
all told, seventeen varieties, four OF
which are indigenous to Mexico In
describing how he learned the Won
,,derful truth about the eyes of these
lizards, he says:
AN unusually large specimen was
received. photographed the lizard
and then proceeded to measure it, a
process which greatly excited the
creature.
lit finally threw the head slightly
upward" he says, "the neck became
rigid, the eyes bulged from the SOCK
let's, when there was a distinct sound
like that produced If one presses the
tongue against the roof of the mouth
and forces small quantity of airf
ward.
| This rasping sound, consuming
hut the fraction of a second, was; ac-
companied by a Jet OF blood at great
pressure. 1t hit the wall, four feet
away. at the same level as that of
the reptile.
THE duration OF the flow of blood
:appearedsto be eRabout, one and u half
seconds, and towards its termination
the force gradually diminished, as
noticed by course OF drops down
the eSwall and along the floor to po-
fsition almost under the spot where
the reptile had been held.
"The stream OF blood seemed to De
as fine as a horse hair. and to issue
from the eyelid, which was momen. .
tarily much swollen. For some time
after The performance the eyes were
tightly close. and nothing could in
sdnce the lizard to open them with
in two minutes after It was placed on
the ground the protruding aspect of
the eyeballs and the swelling of tho
,eyelids had disappeared.
| Most surprising was the amount
of blood expended. The wall and
floor showed course Of thickly
Isprinkled spots about one-eighth Of
an inch in diameter. There were 1O3
OF these spots"
What would Darwin have done had
he heard Of the lizard who spits blood
from his eyes? His mind. inquiring,
trained, reflective to a degree few
scientists ever have attained, might
have drawn hundred great truths
from this startling faculty Of A des-
ert creature. He would have dis
sected many of the animals. He
would have observed them in their
native haunts until he saw its appli-
cation to the great code of nature and
its meaning to the science of anat-
omy and physiology.
The evolutionists, when they find
"a fact like the one observed In the
horned lizard, study along two lines.
First, the use to which the function
may be put. Second, to see If there
were rudiments Of similar function
in other creatures. tI5#
