Notions About Bats,

Numerous fanciful notions are enter.
tanned regarding bats. They are said to
be able to see in the dark, and that they
are bloody and vepgeful in their nature.
AS concerns seeing in the dark, that is
quite erroneous. Their power of avoid
Jag obstacles when flying in darkened
places is not due to their eyes, but to
keen sensibility in their wings. The
thin, leathery wings of bats are their an.
tenna or feelers. Darling about in all
directions in utter darkness, they are
never by any chance impedel or in ured
by obstacles that happen to be in their
way. Experiments have been made. by
stretching strings across darkened places
in which a number of them are confined
and no string is ever disturbed in their
flight. The exquisitely radiated system
OF nerves in bats wing offers one Of the
finest studies in animal physiology, or,
we might say, in natural theology. Shall
a creature SO iogeniously formed be
spoken of with sentiments Of hostility
or derision? On the contrary, it should
excite our warmest admiration. Artists
from time immemorial have been in the
habit Of depicting malevolent demons
with wings on the pattern of those Of the
bat-a pice of conventionality wholly al
variance with what is learned froln a
contemplation of the actual facts in ma
ture. The bat is no more fiendish thar
the swallow, or any other bird which ha.
been appointed to rid the atmosphere Of
superauous and destructive insects

Lincoln: 6 Bids in -. Himself.

Soon after President Lincoln went to
Washington he attended the Foundry
Church, Occupying a. seat within the
altar while Bishop Simpson preached a
missionary sermon. After the collection
was taken at the close of the sermon and
the congregation was about to be dis.
missed, an irrepressible brother rose and
proposed to be one of given number
to raise 800 to make President Lincoln
2 life director of the missionary society.
The proposition was put, and brothers
A, B and @ responded glibly. But the
inevitable pause finally came. A bal
ance was wanting. When the bishop
announced, "Who will take the bal
-ance?" the pause became slightly i'm.
pressive. The tall form of Lincoln was
seen to rise, long, bony arm was ex.
tended imploringly, and he said;

Giving Them Bluff.

A soggy big fellow, with a voice as
big as a mothers love, attended by a
pop-gun sort of a young man, appeared
in a Michigan avenue saloon yesterday
and soon started small riot The big
one refused to pay for what he drank,
and there was talk Of bouncing him,
when the little fellow took the barkeeper
aside and explained:
I" You see, my big friend here is only
giving you bluff. He has got two or
three of the worst teeth in his head you
ever saw, and they've ached night and
day for six weeks. The dentist won't
pull them short of So, and that's too
much. My friend is therefore going
around in hopes to get up a fight and
have somebody hit him in the Jaw and
knock these teeth out and save him the
S."
The bartender saw the point and was
satisfied, and allowed the big man to 90
out without settling. The same game
vas worked in another place, and then
the pair entered cigar store. Here the
big fellow wanted to chew everything
up, and ne could hardly keep still while
the little one explained the toothache

The big fellow was knocked down in no
time, and the little one didn't stay to
see any more. When the "late de.

on his back in the slosh of the gutter,
and three or four bootblacks were asking
him if his toothache was Gale gone"

TO Keep Bouquets Fresh.

10 heeP oOuQuoen GSo~0'
There are various recipes for keeping
bouquets fresh. Some people stick them
in moist sand; some salt the water in the
vases, and others warm it; others, again,
use few drops of ammonia. My rule
is to cool the flowers thoroughly at night.
When the long day of furnace heat has
made the roses droop and their stems
limp and lifeless, I clip them little,
and set them to float in marble basin
full Of very cold water. In the morning
they come out made over into crisp
beauty, as fresh and blooming as it just
gathered. All flowers, however, will not
stand this water-cure. Heliotrope
blackens and falls to pieces under it,
azaleas drop from their stems, and
mignonette soaks away from it's fra
GRANGE. For these use dry cold air. l
wrap them in cotton wool and. set them
on shelf in the ice-chest. l can al
most hear you laugh; but really | am
not joking. Flowers thus treated keep
perfectly for week with me, and often
longer.-M Nicholas.

With regard to the popular misuse of
the word guess" in this country, Web
ster says: It is gross vulgarism to use
the word "guess,S not in its true and
specific sense, but simply for "think"
or "believe," as II guess the mail has
arrived; I. guess he is at home." The
word guess, which is regarded as almost
a Yankee shibboleth, is used in that
sense by Wyclife, by Chaucer, by Bishop
jewell in an old north of England Or
lowland Scotch ballad, in the "Mirror
for Magistrates" (l5s9), by Bishop Hale;
(l599), by John Locke twice and by one
Of the personages in Anthony Trollope's
"Orly Farm" and StillingAeet ga vs.:

pearesays: You cannot guess who caused
your fathers death.
