NEW TO THE CITY MAN.

A gentleman Who went in a woods re-
gion on a hunting excursion II put
up" at a farm house In a remote clear
ing was annoyed during the daytime
with the abundance of flies hat found
access to the house. But when twilight
of evening came he was treated to an
exhibition of fly catching that more
than repaid him for his yexation. The
windows were opened as the darknes
settled down, and the hostess tallow dip
only partially dispelled the gloom in the
old fashioned kitchen, when he suddenly
became aware of old creatures darting
to and fro in the room, often coming al
most into his face, while q queer little
noise of snip, snip. snip" seemed to
follow their velvety auttering motions.
For an instant he was startled, not
knowing what to make of such intrud-
ers.
tits only the bats" said the land
lady, quietly, as she pursued her work
''They's catching flies. Don't you hear
EN- snip off their wings? There'1 be
hundreds of fly wings on the floor here
in the morning"
The gentleman arose early and looked
for the wings, and sure enough the floor
and tables were Uttered with them

How the German me-
came Interested In a HobOken Giri.
The German Consul at New YORK,
tbroush Lawyer Charles Meyer, Jr., ap-
piled to Judge Lippincott on SATURDAY LOT
a writ of habeas corpus to compel MT,
and Mrs. William Schmidt to produce
an adopted girl they nave who is now
about six years old. The girl is the mid
of Johanna Fogel and August MetZeh'
and was born out of wedlcck at Ham
burg. Her mother. being unable 10 pro-
vide for her, bound her out to MT. anu
Mrs. Schmidt, who were then living at
Hamburg. Three years ago the
came to this country, bringing the chilo
with them, and now live at No. Y Gar-
den street, Hoboken.
Mr.. Schmidt says hat just before they
left they heard that Miss Fogel mao
died. and they were therefore very much
surprised about a year ago when a man
calling himself Gustav Paasch cailea
upon them, and, claiming to be the nus
band of Miss Fogel, demanded the cnlio.
He said Miss Fogel was well aple 70
care for the girl now, and as SCOT a.
she saw that she was wen anu nau riobIv
taken good care OF, sne Wouio itIhis
compensate the Schmidts. 49,
Mrs. Schmidt refused to give Paasch
the child, as she had not heard anything
from Miss Fogel and still believed her
It appears that Miss vogel was not
dead, and appealed to the Empress OF
Germany to help her secure his child
The Empress turned the appeal over 70
the proper authorities. and the Gersnan
Government directed its consul at New
York to obtain the child.
Senator DAILY, who appears Tor inc
Schmidts, says Paasch wants the girl ioI
the purpose of obtaining money from the
father. who is a wealthy Hamburg mer-
chant. Judge L~ippincott will hear the
ease ON December 3.

BAGGAGE HANDLING IN ENGLAND

The subject of the porter leads natural
ly to the English system of handling
baggage. 1t is simple in the extreme.
The porter gets from a convenient case
beside the departure platform a label
bearing the name of you destination,
which he pastes on your box" which
goes in the luggage van. You get no
receipt of any form, nor is your baggage
registered. On arrival at your destina-
ton you must claim it. theoretically it
is a bother to nave to look up your bag
gage, and articles ought frequently to
go astray. Practically 1 am assured that
they very seldom go astray, and when
they do it it is a matter of but a few
hours to get them.-Scribner.
