Honey and the Bat,

An amusing anecdote is related Of
George Honey, who, some years ago,
while on tour in tho provinces, had
taken lodgings in house on tho out
skirts of town. Soon after retiring,
he was awakened by f1uttering noise,
as of bird, around the curtain of his
bed. He sprang up, struck light, and
saw small, dark creature, with wings,
xbundering about the room. Not being
well verscd in natural history, he did
not recognize it as bat; but thinking
it queer sort of bird, he resolved to
catch it if possible, and examine it by
daylight. So he took his felt hat and
attempted, for long time in vain, to
capture the intruder; but at length he
pounced upon it, carefully removed 1t
from his hat with his hand, shut it up
in drawer, listened while it struggled
for few moments to escape, and then
went to bed and was soon asleep. But
he was not destined to sleep long.
Hardly had he dozed off when a fur
ther fluttering awakened him, and light
ing another match, he found a second
bat. He had an exciting scramble be-
fore he caught this one, but finally he
succeeded and put it in the drawer with
his companion, and again retired
Again, however, he was awakened in a
similar manner; bats came not in single
spies, buff the expression be allowed
in "battalions. Each specimen was
carefully deposited in the drawer. At
last, after an unusually long chase, he
was so heated that he opened the win
dow, and having retired exhausted en-
joyed few hours sleep. When he
awoke he jumped out of bed very eau
tiously, to look for the prizes of the
night; but, 10! there were no bats
therel He opened the drawer wide,
and then discovered that it had no back
to it. He had, in fact, spent his night
in catching the same bat, which had
flown out at the back of the drawer as
soon as he had put it in at the front,
and when the window was opened had
finally escaped.-San francisco Argo-

A New Aliment from Wheat.

DR.. Dujardin- Bcaumetz recently ex-
hibited at the Paris Academy of Medi-
cine new alimentary substance--'fro-
mentine" - which is obtained from
wheat by the aid of special mil!stones.
Fromentine is the embryo of wheat re-
duced to flour and deprived of the oil
which it contains. The substance con-
tains three times more nitrogen Gus sub
stance than meat, and strong proper
ton of sugar. Thus, the amount of nj
trogenous matter in it is 81 per
cent, while that of the richest
meat, mutton, is but 81 per
cent, and the proportion of digestible
substance reaches eighty seven per cent
of the total weight. Hence it would
appear that it might advantageously re-
place powdered meat as concentrated
food. it can be used for making soups,
and even for making biscuits, the taste
of which would not be disagreeable.
The wheat germs cmployed are by
product in the Schwictzcr pro cess OF
manufacturing -four viii oh can except

A Haven for Consumptiyes.

The value of the dry, warm air of the
Mojave and Colorado deserts in cases of
consumption has been proved in many
cases. There IS one northumberland
case near Yuma, Arizona, which seems
like a miracle. The patient was so
weak when she went to her new home
in the Colorado river valley, below
Yuma, that she was carried on mat
tress, yet in few weeks she rallied and
the troublesome lung disease that threat
ened early death was apparently cured.
Similar cases may probably be cited at
all the places on the border of the
deserts. The only drawback to the es-
Enlistment of sanitaries at such places
is the forbidding character of the land
scape and the great he,t in summer.
The consumptive especially needs variety
of scenery and cheerful surroun lings,
and not even warm Imagination can
endow the border of the Mojave or the
Colorado desert with picturesquencss OF
charm. San Francisco Chronicle.

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

An Eastern whisky trust has been formed,
to cooperate with the Western trust to force

The New York Pioneer says that 10000
tickets at Sc each were sold for the annual re-
ception of the Wine Liquor and Beer Dealers
Association of New York city.
OF all our Industrial classes, says Neal Dow,

traffic for steady and continuous work; UNI

Twenty-Five State Legislatures, besides the
National Government, have made scientific
temperance q compulsory school study In
their respective States and Territories.
Walter Thomas Mills says: The closing OF
the Civil War turned out OF employment more
men, dozen to one, than will the destruction
of the saloon. The saloon is an enterprise de-
voted to the destruction of life and property
and like the Civil War, it will be an occasion
for rejoicing when its devastations shall
cease, no matter how many men should lose
place in its work OF ruin.
A temperance speaker in Evanston recently
said that one sin-cursed town in Illinois has
5000 inhabitants, 500 children of school age,
thirty saloons, and not one Protestant or
Catholic church spire. The forces Of evil in
this town pay SOS, 900 year for the privilege
of running souls while the Christian church
sends one young man to preach the Gospel
once a week paying only his car fare.
More than two-thirds of the present popula

Potent Pills.

Chinese medicines are said to be usually
very cheap and very nasty; but the ply
sicians have great confidence in the heal
ing properties of certain precious stones,
which they compound into some unique
and expensive preparations. A mixture
of white and red coral, rubies or jacinth,
pearls, emeralds, musk, and one or two
earths, all pulverized and made into pills
with gum and rose water, and coated
with gold-lcaf, is considered an infallible
cure for smallpox, measles, scarlet fever,
and all eruptive diseases. 1t is affirmed
that men in their death struggles have
been brought back to strength by the
wonderful powers of this extraordinary
prescription. Trenton (N d. American.

One of the reasons why King Milan
was willing to relinquish his throne is
said to have been his morbid dread OF
assassination. This dread governed all
his acts. He slept behind IRON doors,
kept revolver at his side and had {
faithful mastiff at the foot of his bed.
He took the greatest care as to his food,
and never ate until he had seen what
others at the table were consuming.
Much of his food he prepared himself,
or had prepared in his immediate pres
ence. Whenever he left the palace he
wore heavy coat of mail. In Other
words he made life such burden that
he was glad to resign his oflice.-Sdn
