PLEASING INCIDENT.
The Conductor Did What Was Not Ex- pected of Him.

The Conductor Did What Was Not Ex- pected of Him.
 Up in the front was a printed sign which said no newsboys would be al- lowed to come on the car to sell papers If they wanted to do business with a citizen they must waylay him before he takes his seat
 Now, it happens that a man is not all ways ready to buy his paper until he is settled, and knows he is on the right car, and that he has small change, and that all the chances for comfortable progress home have been seized. So he doesn't like to stop out at the gutter and buy his paper. And, obedient to that demand, the newsboys have been taking one little liberty after another until they come right into the cars and sell without let or hindrance.
 This was an open car and the man and woman were in d terrible hurry, for they knew the ear would go before they were ready. Itdidn't do anything of the kind. It waited till they were seated, till the man had signalied a newsboy and till the little fellow was standing there on the rhil. It started just as he had completed sale. Then it was discovered he was such an ex- ceedingly small boy that he couldn't get down with any degree of safety.
 No one wanted to get on or off at the next crossing, and the little fellow was being carried far out of the reach oi trade winds He wanted to get down and he dared not, The passengers laughed at him. He glowered and tried to risk the descent. But the pace was too swift. He knew he would fall The man who had bought the paper pushed him little just to scare him. The wo- man laughed at her husbands wit The comfortable passengers enjoyed almost niclel's worth of comedy that was mighty near tragedy to him.
 No one expected anything human from the conductor. So he surprised them, He swung down on the foot rail, advanced to the troubled little 1 figure, stopped down, and passed his arm about the baby waist, lifted the lad and stepped from the ear. He de posted his thankful burden safely or 1 the ground, whirled and caught tht last rail of the car and called out ~Harrison-Pollx street depotr just a. if nothing had happened.

the neighborhood of Rovno. The ais tanee from Kief to Rovno is about 240 miles, and the persons in question live about four miles from the latter city
 The correspondence between our friend and his acquaintanees near Rovno can be carried on only by means of regis tered letters, as no unregistered mail matter ever reaches it's destination, whether sent from the one city or the other. If not registered letters simply disappear without leaving trace that. might lead to their recovery. For years this sort of thing has been the rule thereabouts. Our friend has his letters ready at o'clock p. m, at which honr the main post office in Kieff has been closed for the day. He is obliged | therefore, to mail them at the main telegraph office This office is wont to de- liver registered letters only twice daily, at noon and at o'clock, to the main post office, although these hours do not correspond with the time of departure of the mail trains, but are chosen arbi- trarily, perhaps because the relief of clearing up the office has a more bene- ficial effect on the digestion of the civil servants just before luncheon and din her. Now. after our friend has got registered letter into the main post office by this roundabout way the se- quence of events is as follows:
 sFTpe letter is sent to the main tefe= graph office at o'clock Monday. say. Tuesday at noon the letter goes to the main postoffice. At o'clock Wednes- day it is sent away on the mail train of the Southwest railway and it arrives in Rovno at midnight. At Rovno the pos tai force is so inadequate to the amount of work falling to it's lot that the Keiff mail cannot be sorted before Thursday. At l o'clock Friday afternoon notice is sent to the village some four miles off that registered letter from Kieff is at the Rovno post office. The village au- thorities do not make haste and the person addressed consequently does not get the notice before 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. AS Sundays there is no de l livery from the Rovno post office, he must wait until Monday to get the let ter of which he has received notice. That makes one week. the time required for the carriage and delivery of letter between cities two hundred and forty miles apart. In the same period the
 writer could travel easily from Kieff to Toulon. cheer for France several times l in front of the town hall. and then start for home soon enough to eat several meals before he could possibly get an answer from his correspondent in Row no If he wished he could even visit
 Paris and take drive through the city and arrive at home several hours in ad- vance of his correspondents letter. ] Nowoie Wremia.

THE JAPANESE BAT.
The Fig Fruit Took Wings and Fle
 Away.

The Fig Fruit Took Wings and Flew
 Away.
 On the island of Java there are ss many wonderful things that one is never astonished at nythi4g, only curi. ous to find out all one can about all that is new and strange
 A traveller was struck, the morning after his arrival, by She odd appearance of fig tree. It seemed to be loaded with very large and dark fruit, hang. ing not singly 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, filing then 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 SD. 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 oi the fig tree apparently begin to pluck itself. while the air was famed by q multitude of softlyfapping wings.
 The queer-looleing fruit was, in fact no fruit, but an immense colony of the great javanese bat known as the !ta- long During the daylight the bats hang suspended heads downward by their hind claws, butswhen the night comes they start out upon their flights in quest of food. The kalong is detest- ed by the inhabitants of Java because one of the bats will devour or otherwise destroy in one night fruit enough to be weeks supply for food fol hungry man, and this is matter of importance, even in so fruitful land as Java Ac- cordingly bat-hunting, though not an exciting, is favorite amusement for moonlight nights. The slow. steady flight of the kalong is watched until it descends upon fruit tree and then discharge of small shot will bring it to the ground. When it's wings are spread the Salong measures about five and half feet from tip to tip, while it's head and body are more than q foot in length. -Goldthwaite's Geographical Nigga zine
