A Lesson For Young Widows.

One of the most attractive young
widows in New York society has re-
fused half a dozen offers since the death
of her husband, out of Difference, it is
presumed, to the wishes of his father,
who has allowed her an income of four
thousand dollars a year and maintained
an equiptage for her. The other day
the old gentleman quilted this mundane
sphere, and when his will was opened
it was found that he had not mentioned
her, having divided his property be-
tween his widow and his brothers. The
daughter was cut to the quick at
being ignored, and, when the dowager
widow wrote to her that she would con-
tinue the allowance herself, answered
that she must decline to accept it, add
ing that her own parents had more than
made good the loss. 1t is general
felt that the old gentleman acted in ex-
ecrable taste in thus repaying his
daughter-in-law's devotion-he mani
tested the greatest liking for her up to
within day of his death, but it is, none
the less, a lesson to all widowed daugh-
ters-in-law not to wait for dead mems
shoes, but to seize the passing moment
and marry when they may. Fortunate
ly, the lady in question, ike Volante in
Honeymoon" has not hung SO long
upon the parent stem that she may not
still be worth a millionaire's attention.

A Novel Table Luxury.

Ii, IN England, man was pushed to
discover IA new animal food, it would. I
think, be long time before he hit upon
bats as at all likely to furnish him with
a desirable addition to mis- table, even if
their diminutiye size did not place an in
superable obstacle, in the wav of their
being so utilized. But in many of the
South Sea Islands, where the Hying-fox,
a species of bat, fifteen inches or so
across the wings, is common. it is used
as food by the natives, and its flesh is
by no means to be despised even by
epicures. The animal usually confines
itself to fruit-ripe bananas of the best
quality, and plenty of them, being about
his mark. IL would seem absurd to a
stranger to the country to be informed
that such an insignificant animal as
bat could seriously threaten the fruit
harvest IN countries where it was so
abundant; but he would change his
opinion when informed that the flying
foxes often settle in hundreds in any
likely plantation; and as they ALWAYS
destroy very much more than they CON
sumo, the loss and inconvenience they
cause to the natives may be properly
The bat in question is not so strictly
nocturnal in his habits as his English
brother; and although he usually sallies
out at sunset, yet l have often mott Q
them sailing about in broad daylight,
provided the weather was dull and over
cast; the flight is even and regular, very
like that of a rock, and not in the least
resembling the erratic mode of progress
sion affected by our native species. The
natives prepare them for food by first
cutting off the wings and then passing
the body through the fire to remove the
fur, and with it the strong foxy smell
with which it is impregnated. 1t is
then carefully scraped, split open, and
afterward grilled on the Goals spitch-
cock fashion, when it is ready for con-
sumption. and is capital eating, having
rich, gamy flavor, something between
hare and woodcock. Chambers

Right and Left.

NJ. Delaunay, of Paris, has made an
extended and careful investigation to
ascertain if in the majority of cases the
right upper and lower extremity be
crossed over the left or the left over the
right, and which side most persons in
cline to when in sitting posture. Ac-
cording to NJ. Delaunay, certain breeds
of dogs, terriers, Newfoundland and
pOodles cross the right foot over the
left. The Chinese and Japanese cross
the left over the right. Europeans
cross the right over the left M. De-
launay observed. in the "creeches and
sale d'aisles,'' that infants under three
years of age cross the left arm over the
right, older children crossing the right
over the left, sixty per cent. doing so at
six years of age. Robust children
cross the right arm over the left; the
idiotic and weak, including those who
are incapable of working, cross the left
over the right. The Calmucks and
Arabs cross the right over the left, like
the Europeans. A great many women
cross the left leg over the right. Among
the opera-dancers, some cross the right
leg over the left. but not one the left
over the right; the majority cross the
left over the right or the right over the
left inditferently. Robust children cross
the right leg over the left earlier than
their weaker playmates. Persons who
cross the right leg over the left lean
toward the left when sitting; those who
place the leftuppermost lean to the right.
Hence, consistently with what might
have been expected from what is OBJ
served in children with regard to cross
ing legs, until six years of age children
lean toward the left. French school
masters, it would appear, try to pre-
vent their pupils from assuming this
position, believing that scoliosis results;
hence they encourage or enforce the use
of elbow rests (accoudoirs), which oblige
the children to sit straight, useless
measure according to NJ. Delaunay, as
the position they choose is in conformity
with the process of evolution. Tailors
affirm that the back of pair of trousers
is always more worn on the left side
than on the right. Left-handed people
always sit toward the right. NJ. De-
launay concludes from these observa-
lions that the left brain develops pre-
viously to the right, and finally the right
predominates.- British Medical Journal.

your honor, and to the people of
Bossier and Caddo parishes, that
we have made every effort possible,
to obtain evidence in the McLane
case, even to telephoning last week
to Shreveport three times for the
papers obtained by "Citizens Com
mittee" relative to the evidence in
this case, and were unable to get
said papers until the eve of our adj
journment on Saturday last, for the
week, when summonses were issued
for witnesses, who, up to this time
with two exceptions) have failed to
report.
And now, in conclusion, would
respectfully ask to be discharged
from further duties before this
Court. Thanking your Honor, the
District Attorney and all Court
officers for their kind assistance and
courteous attention, &C., we now
ask our final discharge.

Grand Jury Report.
J. H. KEYsER, Clerk.

To the Hon. r. C. Drew, District Judge, end
Judicial District for Bosser Par, La:
We, the Grand Jury duly sworn,
empannelled and efficiently charged,
beg leave to make the following re-
port, viz:
We have had before our body quite
a number of charges, which, from
good reasons, we were unable to act
upon in consequence of non-attend
ance of witnesses, mot attributable,
however, to other than Providential
causes.
We have acted upon and found 26
true bills; have ignored - and fled
with District Attorney eight charges
for information. From the magni-
tude of the numbers of the various
crimes which have been brought be-
fore us, it has been more laborious
task than we were able to cope with
in less time than we have been en-
gagged on them. It being unprece-
dented in Bossier Parish's history for
a longer session than one week of a
Grand Jury term, we would respect
fully ask the forbearance of the good
people of our parish.
In regard to our especial reports,
we take them Se1iatim, viz:
Roads and bridges claim our atten-
ton. We have learned, and know
''by the card" whereof we speak, that
roads all over our parish are in acretch-
ed condition, but more especially the
following named roads, viz: In con-
sequence of caving in of banks of
Red River, the road from Benton to
Shreveport has become really danger
GUS to travel over, and in this partic-
ular instance, respectfully recommend
that our Police Jury take immediate
action in the premises and have the
overseers appointed for the ensuing
year, and give implicit instruction TO
them to have fences and levees set
back the legal distance required for
such roads, from river bank. We
exonerate the overseers on the differ
ent hill roads in the parish, by rea-
son of the late freshets; but would
urge our Police Jury to have more
efficient road law, ifpossible, and also
to appoint more responsible parties
as overseers. It is also recommended
that the bridges on the various roads
be repaired as early as practicable,
more particularly on road from Belle
vue to Benton, and from Bellevue to
Shreveport, known as the middle
road.
Our jail and Court house we con-
slider as in need of repairs, but owing
to the fact that the removal OF our
parish site is now being, and has been
agitated for some time, we leave this
matter to the discretion and good
judgment of our Police Jury. We
find that the prisoners now incarcerat
ed are well fed and cared for, even
from their own statements. Also, we
fluid the offices and books of Clerk
and Sheriff in good condition and
we'll kept.
We earnestly recommend that OR
Police Jury take such action as they
deem fit aud proper in regard to the
enactment of Sunday law.
We would especially report TO

-Geologists report the existence, in
a line across Central Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, of strata of green sand beds
and decomposed sandy calcareous beds,
in all some twenty feet in thickness,
which are impregnated with phosphoric
acid. Though the geological position
is different, the general character of
these phosphate beds is much like that
OF the South Carolina phosphates; and
their commercial value may prove to be
equally great.

Many a man is actively benevo-
lent, charitable among the poor,
full of schemes and plans for the
benefit of others, and yet utterly
deficient in that religious sense
which accompanies the christian
grace of love.

Love is universal. 1t is inter-
ested in all that is human: not
merely in the concerns of its own
family, nation, sect, or circle of as
sociations. Humanity is the sphere
of it's activity.
