USEFUL SCAVENGERS.
BATS Great Help to Sections in Clean
ing and RenOvating
Churches.

Insect powders and bug sect-knock-
out-drops" accomplish their purpose
fairly well, but leave behind unpleas-
ant odors and a great deal of work for
the sexton to do in gathering up and
removing the corpses. Besides, many
insects escape the poison. 1t has been
discovered that the appetite of the bat
coupled with it's powerful darkness
piercing eyes guarantees a surer re-
moval of these pests. Prof. Clifton F.
Hodge, of Clark university, found by
experimenting with bats that they ate
everything from a spider to poly
phemus moth, SO numerous in
churches. When seen the other day
by representative OF the Church
Economist DR.. Hodge told of his expert
ments at Clark, and how churches
might profitabiy domesticate these ami
mails. His attention was called to bats
through the Goblin moth, which eats
into apples and other kinds of fruit.
He said:
I'm an orchard near my home found
nine of the grubs of this insect in a
minute. | went to another orchard
near by and found only four of the
grubs In an hours time. In the barn
there were nearly 100 bats. The owner
of the orchard near by told me that
his apples were always free from
worms.
81 took a dozen bats home with me
and installed them in the parlor They
made their home in the folds at the
top of the window draperies. At first
they were wild when anyone APP
preached them, but in time they became
tame. They never however, allowed
themselves to be handled At night,
and even during the day, they would fly
about the room while persons were
present.
Zone evening released several nest
fuls of night-fying insects. Not bug
remained in the morning, One bat de-
voured, while counted, 6S flies. In
short time there was not fly in the
house, not cobweb on the walls"
Bats frequent many churches, and it
is found that they keep the walls free
from cobwebs, and the absence of other.
insects is noted. DR.. Hodge suggests
the demonstrating of these animals in
churches where roosts can be provid-
ed for them, so that during the serv-
ices they can be Gagged up. Insects of
every description constitute the food
for them. They could be allowed to be
free during the six week days.-Church
Economist.

When Dewey Comes
By George AIDE

nNCE in awhile l see something
" funny in a newspaper, and this
is the greatest joke of the century, -
said Mr.. Sweet, up at our boarding
house. He was looking at the morning
paper, which was folded and propped
against the sirup pitcher in front of
him. AS he spoke he seemed almost
pleased. The expression of saturnine
ferocity softened into one of malignant
glee.
Miss Baxter, the art student, Mr..
Crosby, of the wholesale grocery, and
Miss Dixon, the stenographer, looked
up in surprise. No wonder. Mr.. Sweet
did not often praise any work of man.
lie had an especial contempt for puns
and witticisms. He WINGED at the
separtee which sent the young women
into hysterical giggling. Therefore, for
Mr.. Sweet to say that he had found
something funny was altogether out of
che ordinary and for him to give the
opinion that certain joke was the
greatest of the century" was simply
astounding.
For goodness sake, read it to US,
Mr.. Sweet" said Miss Baxter. Il didn't

Hare Hunting

Hare hunting is undoubtedly more
antique sport than the chase of the
COX. Xenophon pursued it with delight
in ancient Greece, and in Britain the
hare was for centuries looked upon as
a far more worthy quarry than the fox,
which, until the time of Queen Eliza.
beth, and even later, was regarded as
mere vermin. Nicholas Cox, author OF
THE Gentleman's Recreation" work
on sport, published in 1917, writes thus
enthusiastically: LAS of all chases the
Hare makes the greatest pastime, so il
is great delight and satisfaction to
see the craft of this little poor Beast
in her own self-preservation." And il
is to be admitted that in those shifts
and expedients which afford to lovers OF
hounds the true delights of hunting the
timid hare is at least as fertile as any
known beast of chase in any part o.
the world.-London Saturday Review.

After standing on the defensive for
many years against French aggreS
sions in Asia and Africa, England since
the Fashoda dispute, has become ac-

friendly relations with France. Eng

ward France by concessions in NADIA

France should reciprocate this friend

which is contrary to the wishes of the

funny in the suggestion that Admiral
Dewey return to this country in order
