Vampire Bats.

Vampire bats are found by thousands in Veragas and Ciriqui. They are partcu- larly fond of veal blood, but older stock and horses, colts, mules and burros all suffer. l did not catch a vampire at his work, though l saw hundreds of them, but the cattlemen all tell tho same story. The vampire settles somewhere on the back of the beast in tho pasture at night, and then, while slowly flaming its wings to and fro, cuts circular piece of skin one-quarter of an inch in diameter. Through this hole he sucks the blood till satisfied
 One wound would be of little conse- qucnce nor would the loss of blood do much damage were that all, but half dozen vampires may feast on one poor calf or on the back of a saddle horse in one night. The calf is badly weakened by the loss of blood, while saddle horse so served is worthless until the wounds are entirely healed. But that is not the worst result of the bite. The region swarms with a pestiferous fly that soon after daylight finds the wound and lays eggs in it. Un- less the wound Is properly cleaned and dressed with waxy salve within 49 hours after the vampires attack the animal will be destroyed by the progeny of tho fly. The percentage of calves thus killed is large in spite of the watchfulness of tho COW herders. Correspondent.

What Not to Lend.

Douglas Jerrold, the celebrated wit, said; "There are three things that no man but fool lends, or, having lent, is not in the most helpless state of mental crassitude if he ever hopes to got back again. These three things are books, money and umbrellas. believe certain fiction of the law assumes a remedy against tho borrower, but l know of no case in which any man, being sufficiently dastard to gibbet his reputation as plaintiff in such a suit ever fairly succeeded against the wholesome prejudices of society. Umbrcl- las may be hedged about by cobweb stat utes. Twill not swear that it is not so There may be laws that make such things property. But am sure that tho hissing contempt the loud mouthed indignation, of all civilized society would sibilate and roar at the bloodlcss poltroon who should engage law on his side to obtain for him the restitution of lent umbrella.

White Lead as a Preservative.

The advantages of using genuine white lead for painting surfaces, especially iron work, have been known for years, but an instance mentioned by Sir William Arrol will serve to impress the fact on the mem ory. Some years ago he purchased the ma terials of old Hammersmith bridge for the purpose of using portion in erecting a temporary plant at one of his large under takings. Tho iron work had been in po- rss;itiaH .62 years, and many of the parts, ow ing to inacccssibility, had not been paint ed since they were placed in position. Finding them in so remarkable state of preservation, Sir William Arrol had some of the paint analysed, when it was found to bc genuine white lead.-English Me- cba,,ic

Some Ludicrous Incidents That Happened
 Beyond the Ri9 grands:
 once knew brilliant gentleman who attributed bis cruel misfortunes to his wife's having placed peacock feathers as a decoration around the parlor mirror, says a City of Mexico correspondent of the Bos- ton Herald. He organized big oompa- ny, got New York and Mexican million aires into it, and somehow they calmly let him out when the organization was per fected. Such things have occurred even in Boston, and there were no peacock feath- CTS in the business either.
 There is an old general here so scared that one fails to discern any of his orig inal outicle, and he has faced death cour-. ageously on 40 battlcfields, but he will go indoors and cross himself and say dozen ayes if, on sallying forth of a morning he encounters a black catl
 An old woman in back street, living in house with little courtyard which smells of disinfectants and is adorned by a shriveled orange tree, earns a living and puts money in the bank by letting people sec their dead friends in crystal ballt Only once has she disappointed people A Senor Olmo went one day, hoping to see the image of an old flame in the crys- tai, when his wife popped out from be- hind a screen, and seizing him firmly by the arm led him into the courtyard, where he confessed that he had come to see his dead mother-in law, which pacifled his wife, for women are so deliciously incon- sistcnt.
 If Tuesday falls on the 18th of the month, no one in Mexico will transact any important business, and even your cook counts the Jumps of sugar sine steals lest she should get 13 and so treble the bad luck and die in her slcop that very night.
 Tuesday is the uniucky day in Mexico. If you wore born on Tuesday, mover ad- init it. You probably have been disaster all your life, but people will firmly believe that you arc an unlucky dog and have the evil eye into tho bargain if they find that Q Tuesday was honored with your birth. l know man who started on a Tuesday with money to pay off the hands in a fac tory near the city and went instead to Acapulco, where he took the Panama steamer. The board of directors of the manufacturing company passed a resolu- tion affirming their undying faith in his honesty and attributed his error to having started for the mill on Tuesday.

Pele would think them the biggest

THE JAPANESE.
A Mass-meeting Probable

There is move must among
the intelligent japanese residents
to call mass-meeting and discuss
what steps it will be proper for the
japanese colony to take for the
purpose of obtaining representation
III tie P. G. government Of Hawaii.
The immediate canse for this step
which may have some very serious
results for the government is the
idiotic piece of school boy work in
allowing a certain political organize
ton to hold a sham election and to
dictate to the government who
shall sit in the council and who
shall not.-The japanese are emf
nently quiet and tractable people.
They have heretofore left it for
their own government to obtain the
rights to which japanese citizens
in Hawaii are entitled and the
matter has on account of the reve-
luton here so far been kept in
allegiance when the intelligent and
prominent leaders among the Jap
anese here now see that all THAT is
necessary to obtain representation
is to form themselves into polite
al organize ton and from the ros-
trum of such league make suffi-
cient noise to be heard in the
government building and thereby
intimidsting our present rulers the
situation assunus different aspect.
There are absolutely no reasons tor
them to wait for the Japanese
government to help them. They
Can do that themselves and by
passing a number of resolutions
and presenting them to the councils
in peremptory manner they can
gain their point.-The japanese
have not the same causes Of
grievance as have the Chinese but
it is we'll understood that the two
nations propose to work together
and join issues. What the
eud will be, nobody can foresee just
now, but it looks as if the govern
meut will have its hand full before

anythinge so degrading as this,

would compare well with men in
the United States in like posetion,
and he doesn't know what to
make of them. He did not at

MY dear Friend: We have
received your letter of Nov. IL
and my husband and I thank you
heartily for your expressions of
sympathy. This is indeed a time
when we need all the friends to
stand by us. Mr.. Cleveland's
policy with regard to restor-
ing the ex-Queen came upon US
like a thunderbolt. 1t seemed to
me almost incredible that it could
be so. But the Provisional Gov
eminent is brave and strong and
united, and it means to resist
attacks from whatever source they
come. 1 am proud of it even
while I tremble.
but [ do not--no, | cannot
believe that the President of n,y
United States will ever instigate
so disgraceful a deed as to send
his navy to fight Americans who
are defending themselves in the
holy cause of liberty! We feel
now that the great American
people are with US, and next to
God our trust is in them. The
way they have risen up in right
eous wrath is fine thing to be
hold, and if Congress takes this
thing in hand, as l believe it
must do now, we think we shall
be all right. With re-
newed thanks for your sweet sym
patty, and with sincere aloha.
