THE JAVANESE BAT.
The Fig Fruit Took Wings and L


The Fig Fruit Took Wings and Flew
Away.
In the Island of Java there are SO
many wonderful things that one is
never astonished at anything, only curl
Gus to find out all one can about all that
is new and strange.
A traveller was struck, the morning
after his arrival, by the odd appearance
of fig tree. It seemed to be loaded
with very large and dark fruit, hang.
ing, not singlv or in clusters, but in rows
as closely as figs are packed in a box for
transportation, from the lower sides of
all it's branches, filling them trunk to
tip.
The traveller intended to ask his host
about this new sort of fig, but darkness
fell before he had had opportunity to
do so. There are no long twilights in
the tropics, but night follows quickly
upon day. So, almost as soon as the
sun was below the horizon our traveller
was bewildered by seeing the fruit of
the fig tree apparently begin to pluck
itself, while the air was famed by a
multitude of softly-fapping wings.
The queer-looking fruit was, in fact,
no fruit, but an immense colony of the
great Javanese bat known as the kalong.
During the daylight, the bats hang sus-
penQeQ, neadS uOWnWarus, by tHelT
hind claws, but when the night comes
they start out upon their flights in
quest of food. The kalong is detested
by the inhabitants of Java because one
OF the bats will devour or otherwise de-
stroy in one night fruit enough to be a
weeks supply for food for a hungry
man, and this is matter of Importance,
even in so fruitful land as Java. Ac-
cordinglv bat-hunting, though not an
exciting, is a favorite amusement for
moonlight nights. The slow, steady
flight of the kalong is watched until it
descends upon fruit tree and then a
discharge of small shot will bring it to
the ground. When it's wings are spread
the ,kalong measures about five and a
half feet from tip to tip, while its head
and body are more than foot in length.

SHOES FOR THE BABY.
The Soft Kid Things Not Always Best
for His Tender Feet.

The Soft Kid Things Not Always Best
for His Tender Feet.
The dainty kid shoes with their soft
soIes that loving mothers delight to
clothe their baby's feet in are very
pretty and answer we'll enough until
the child is old enough to stand, when
the shoes should have a stiff sole SO as
to support the soft flesh of the foot.
The kid sole is too yielding and it pulls
up at the tip and really cramps the tiny
foot while it presses on the flesh about
the toes, often causing ingrowing nails.
Quite as much care should be taken
in regard to the baby's stocking, for a
tight-fitting one will arrest develop
ment and even make corns and in
growing nails. A stocking should fit
even more carefully than the shoe, al
lowing every movement of the foot free
play. 1t cannot be too smooth and fine
in manufacture, and it should have as
few seams as possible. Moreover its
color should be considered, as there
are quite Injurious dyes causing bad
eruptive troubles and even blood poi
soning, especially in the shades Of
green. A large shoe is as apt to create
corns on the foot by rubbing as small
one is by COMPRISING, and a stocking is
shoe should always be a trif1e too
ong for the wearer, be it child or grown
person, as, owing to the shape that has
been deemed proper among us, there
must be little more room allowed for
expansion somewhere, and it is more
graceful and less noticeable in the
length at the toe than elsewhere. It is
exactly where the action of the foot de-
mands the most room for play that we
usually see the shoe abbreviated in the
effort to make and keep it narrow
across the ball Of the foot. When one
takes a bold step, springs from a car
riage, runs up or down stairs, 1t is there
that the weight and force are thrown,
and it is there then that absolute free
dom is required and seldom had, so
that the lower joint of the big toe is
thrown out and deformed irrecoverably
early in life Especially is this breadth
of sole across the ball of the foot neces-
sary in children's shoes, as their bones
are still soft and their muscles tender,
and they are liable to suffer Chinese
sort of compression that takes away a
great deal of inf1exibility and strength
which depend upon development the
bones can never haveif crowded togeth-
er. When it is remembered that the
feet have an immediate nervous infiu-
ence upon the spine, and that injuries
to them are capable of working havoc
IN the nervous health, it will be seen
how important it is that they should be

leading out of court and which seemed
to be holding back. attracted the judges
attention He ordered the child to be
siderable distance from each, and then
directed each parent to call it. The
mother called to it first, but the child
did not move Then the father called
and the child ran to his arms with every
manifestation of affection. This settled
the case. The Judge told the prisoner
that the child had saved him from the
penitentiary, as he was satisfied he must
have kind heart or the child would
not be SO fond of him. This was prac-
teal way of settling matters, similar to
that which history and tradition as
cribes to King Solomon.

SIXTEEN YEARS A DERELICT.
A Lumber Laden Craft Which Finally
Landed at Iceland's Capital.

A Lumber Laden Craft Which Finally
Landed at Iceland's Capital.
In 1881, when c. H. Hill, now Of the
Brazilian navy, was on the jeanette re-
lief expedition in the Arctic regions,
sent out by the government, his ship
for time was laid up at Reykjavik, the
capital of Iceland. While there he saw
derelict float in and strike the wharf.
It was at once made fast, and proved to
be loaded with yellow pine lumber.
The vessel was literally covered with
moss and barnacles, and investigation
disclosed the fact that the name of the
old craft that for years by the tide and
winds had been driven hither and
thither was the jamestown. The in
habitants of the capital thought that a
great prize had fallen into their hands.
Everybody turned out and took hand
in unloading. The lumber came out in
good condition, and the Reykjavikans
estimated that there was enough of it
to last them twenty-five years. But
alas, what a world this is as a hope
crusher! After the people had an
loaded and piled the lumber the Den
mark government stepped in and con-
fiscated it and started a undergrad OF
its own. On the return of the jeanette
expedition, government made inquiry
regarding the Jamestown and learned
that she was loaded in Pensacola,
Fla, in 1865, soon after the close of the
civil war. Thus for sixteen years the
undertaken vessel had foated as a
derelict on the high seas.

Author of Marcelia.

Mrs. Humphrey Ward is hospitable,
and her beautiful country house at
Tring is often full of literary and social
celebrities. An English writer says:
at is whispered that the rector of
Trinc heard of Mrs. Wards advent into
his parish with somewhat mixed feel
ings. His prejudices, however, have
ali been disarmed, and he is a great
friend of his fair parishioner, who at
tends the parish church once every
Sunday while living in the country.
She sends her servants also. 1t is said
that, like many other authors, Mrs.
Ward is annoyed that the opinions with
which she invests the characters in her
works are always taken to represent
her own in their entirety, whereas she
creates them and builds them up as an
artist paints picture"

hollow roar of lion. Another was a

gongs of wonderfully pure and beauti-
full tone.

~ brought the Money, but Was Rather

Quite novel suggestion in the way Of
blll collecting was made the other day
through the mistake Of man mailing
Two letters IN this city, saws the Wash
lngton News. He had had considerable
ulIilculty In persuading young woman
that his goods had not been sold to her
1or the mere pleasure of selling, and
hnally she had dismissed his messenger
with the statement that she did not
want to hear from him again. Nothing
was lett tor the merchant to do but
to resort to the United States
mails. He accordingly sat down and
wrote to the young woman let
ter which was characterized rather by
terseness and vigor than by anv terms
OF affection. Fortunately or unfortu-
nately for him he had a social acuuaint-
ance with another young lady in the
same house, and while he had his pen
he thought he would write to her,
too, a personal letter. When he came
to direct his envelopes, though, he sent
the dunning letter to his personal
TREND and his personal letter to his
debtor. It is needless to say that the
mistake was corrected within few
moments after the receipt of the let
tiers, but the debtors chagrin at the
revelation Of her position to another
was SO great that she paid her bill i'm
mediately.

A Michigan Y arm.

A Grand Haven man named Taylor,
who settled on Grand River in an early
day, is authority for the following:
In 1875 he discovered that ordinary
turtles, found in great numbers along
the river, would live after their heads
were cut off, SO he caught dozen of
them, cut the date, "Aug. 8, 1875" in
their shells, cut off their heads and
much increased in size with new and
perfect head. There was just a per-
ceptible ridge around the neck where
the new head had started to grow on.

1t is said that red parasol destroys

skin from freckles. Photographers
long ago availed themselves of this pc

to suppose that red shade might pro-
