Like those of the Jail behind it the
windows of the little meeting house
were closed, and apparently boarded up

in one or two places with bullet holes.

CATCHES BATS FOR A LIVING.

Fried Bat" Reataurant.
One of the queerest characters in
Paris is Matterhorn, the toad hunter
and bat catcher. His favorite hunting
ground is the great ,Arcueuil aqueduct,
10 kilometers long, which brings the
waters of the Dhuys to thirsty Pari-
slams.
This is a regular place of refuge for
bats, which hang by thousands to the
roof of the long tunnel, digging their
sharp claws into it's rough outings, and
looking for all the world in the shadows
like festoons of cobwebs. There they
ire, in colonies of 40 or so, cold and still,
waiting for Matterhorn to come along
with his lantern and iron box and catch
Them between his ready thumb and
.orefinger.
In night Matterhorn often captures
100 of them or more, and he sells the
bats to people who eat them, some from
necessity, some from choice, for those
who have tried it avow that the flesh
of the bat is delicious. 1t is red and
somewhat fat, and, fried and served
with chopped parsley. it is said to equal
The finest venison in flavor.
Why should not one eat BATS" en-
claimed Matterhorn, in reply to a ques-
lion. The little animal is scrupulous
" clean and feeds on nothing but in
sects, which is more than can be SAID
of many animals that are eaten with Q
relish. l tell you the bat is mucf
illuminated creature, although the
number of people who realize that is

Then, 1 suppose you sell your bats
mostly to those who are very poor?''
Yes, mostly; although there are
gourmcts who have got beyond popu
lar prejudice and pay me good price

But you don't live entirely by catch
ing bats, do your
