The pupil of a cat's eye ordinarly ap pears as a long-, narrow oval, or a straight, vertical Waek line. ,The ani mal seems to be looking- through mere slits in the iris of its eye, especially when it faces the light. In semi-darkness the pupil widens into a beautiful oval. One is accustomed to regard the ncrrowness of the pupil as the distin guishing peculiarity of the eyes of eats. All animals of the cat family share this peculiarity. And yet, according to the results of a scientific investigation of cats' eyes re cently made in England by Lindsay Johnson, the natural shape of tlieir pupils is circular. By varying the quantity of light en tering the eyes he has seen the pupils of eats and tigers change from straight lines to perfeet circles, and while un .der the influence of atropine, which suspends for a time the muscular con trol of the eye, they are always cir cular. The normal form of the cat's pupil is, then, the same as that of the human pupil, but when submitted to the influ ence of light its behavior differs. In a bright light our pupils become very small circles, while those of a cat turn into ovals or narrow slits. The general effect is the same in either case name ly, to diminish the quantity of light passing into the eye. Curiously enough, in the larger ani mals of the cat tribe, such as tigers, the pupil sometimes behaves exactly like a human eye, and when brightly illumin ated contracts into a minute circle in stead of becoming linear. In the case ' of domestic cats the older the animal the more frequently does the pupil of the eye assume a circular form. KEPT HER DARLING WARM. Touching Scene In m Chicago Drn Store louring a Blizzard. As far as herself was concerned she held the storm lightly. She had on a little jacket not longer than a reefer. Her eyes were unprotected, and bar ring a pair of kid gloves her hands were uncovered. It was in a drug store on the north side, says the Chicago Trib une, when she came in evidence. There was a crowd inside the door waiting for a car. She was out of sight behind a big showcase using the telephone. Aft er ordering coilcloth for a room three and three-fourths yards wide by four yards long, and having forgotten to ring off, the waiting messengers heard her say: "And was my sweet darling cold? It is too bad, dear; no matter, we will soon be home." "Tough weather for a baby to be out," thought the car waiters in cho rus. Then she appeared around the showcase and put a bundle on the cigar stand. From the folds of the envelop ing wraps was poked the nose of as thoroughly an unattractive dog as ever took a prize for ugliness in a bench show. The outer covering of the ani mal was a heavily quilted and em broidered wrap ol clarK goous. Cmler this there was a delicate white flannel covering worked with silk thread. Both were of extent enough to go around the dog twice. She adjusted its wraps carefully, so that not even the tip of its tail was exposed, and made out into the storm reg-ardless of her own innroteeted face, ears ami hands bodv. and insufficiently protected j It was all right, her darling was safe. THE DUKE AND THE TOAD. A 2Tw anil Interesting Story of the Fa- mot Wellington. Napoleon was worshiped and feared, but men loved and adored the iron j duke. Of the former, how few are the kindly human traits recorded! vrhile of the other, to this day fresli proofs keep coming to light of simple sweetness dwelling long in the minds of men. The following anecdote concerning a letter lately exhumed may serve as one instance out of a thousand illustrating the sympathetic nature of the great commander. The letter, says a recent writer, was in some such terms as these: ''Field marshal the duke of Welling ton begs to inform William Harris that his toad is alive and well."' It seems that the duke, in the course of a country stroll, had come upon a little boy weeping bitterly over a toad. A strange trio they must have been the lean, keen-eyed old soldier, the flushed, sobbing boy, and between them the wrinkled reptile squatting, with tearful eyes and throbbing sides. The boy wept because iie was going to school r.ext day; he had come daily to feed his toad; the little heart was racked with grief because he feared his darling would be neglected when he was gone and might starve. The duke's heart was as soft as the lioy's, for he undertook to see that the toad was looked after, and the letter above J quoted is one of the subsequent bulle tins. A Royal Article or Apparel. From time immemorial ermine has been one of the favorite articles of roy alty and dignity. The state robe of the judge was originally lined with ermine. This is emblematical of purity and honor without a stain. The kiujjs and emperors of old were almost always portrayed with garments of ermine, or with lining to their wrappings made of this exquisite fur. For some years it has been less in demand, although why this is so it would be difiicult to im agine., for certainly nothing in the way of fur is half as beautiful and dressy. The ermine is a small animal, found in extremely northerly latitudes. It turns slightly brown in summer, lint in win ter is white, except the tip of the tail, which is of a jet black. One of the distinguishing murks of ermine is a slightly yellowish tinge on the sides of the body and the white part of the tail. It is said to be impossible to imi tate this, and it therefore adds to the value of the genuine fur. The skin is very small, from one hundred and fifty to two hundred skins, and sometimes more, being used in a single garment. -OJnjni oni joj Anuria -es puts $ssd om joj .Cjmraapui amoojil oj pestsH eq fli-u. uoSuineuAV V si"P3 -jo eqj, emain.iy m smnsuqQ uodii sdSsj;no eq; .tjjunoo mi u sdipjuip n jo uoi)ua;;u aq; 0 J3ui3uuq joj 9up eq; sb pactum sbm. judy ui jCupung ;bbi eq; 'suotjBntiuouap nvpsuijQ biiojjba jo sjeqmsui jo uo;sog ; Suijaet-x :yy saisjujg eq; Aq peipB epjos eq; ABd o.iam sauna ,'sojfj ei-Corj eqx inuiiAiis -nnej ui equ;s uo eau sjeutut yaoo OOO'flt ;uoqv p;j9A sbav ;i ;nq 'emm eq; ; pen9;Bdiq; sbav ;ora;noo v ";?nb o; sua-ims Aq petuBAi uaeq 9Asq jCundraoo pjoo tuBAxisuua,j pun oiqo eq; jo eunn 9jompaeoo eq; ui SniqaoAV uern eqj, Ajajtis joj uavo; -eouiAOJtj ; m ;nd o; peojoj sbm eqs ptre '9SS9A eq; paABS ptre uotsoidxa tru pe;neAead .ioav pxejj -p9na;v9jq; sbav 'jepAvod esajaqoms jo spunod pajpunq rj9A9B Suturejuoo 'euizuSBtn jap.tt.od eq; ptr pjBi aauu uosog 9q; o; Biqdjep -Uqj mojj e;uoj us eu.u ajg ;q3uj tuaj todsuBj; b;b;s P!nfl 1X Four Big Successes.
