LITER AIRY NOTES.

The last two meetings have been
neglected dreadfully BY the people,
on account ESQ many other things
for them to attend / suppose, but
we don't want it to happen again
as We don't wish to display our
talent without a large audience.
Our attendance at the last meeting
went to see Uucie Tom, but IT il
not as though we couldn't talk
without an audience. | am par
ticularly sorry for those who miss
ed this last meeting as it was the
best we have had for some time,
especially the humorous part OF IT.
But this coming one will be better
The debate subject will be the
Woman Suffrage question, and as
there is a good deal Of personal
feeling on each side, and is very
interesting question, anyway we
expect to have an exciting de-
bate. This question was put Oft
last time because the debaters did
not feel sufficiently prepared for
that subject. But the. debate is
not all; the remainder Of the pro-
gram will be published next week.
We make II an important part Ut
our. work. lately, to see that the
room is warmer..aW We always be-
gin at. 1880. We.want every one
to come, the more the merrier.
Our next meeting Will be held Jan,
S25, 1901.

fore, the native takes long pole, puts
q sort of combination hooked arrange
rent at the top and takes position
in street, and with the pole held
erect waits for bats to come along and
bump into the hooked portion. AS the
native sees bat coming he plans to
have the hook in it's path, and as he
moves the pole, so as to bring the
hook into contact with the head of the
bat, the latter usually strikes it with
bang and drops TO the earth stunned,
when the native proceeds to promptly
put the bat to death! After standing
in his position for an hour or more,
the native has little pile of bats at
his feet. These he takes to the market

cents each for them. The bats are
eaten only in small part. The wings,

Powell Clayton, ambassador to
Mexico, on recent visit to Washing
ton, told a story illustrative of Presi-
dent piaz's activity, in spite of his
years. In company with the president
the ambassador visited the Mexican
military academy. 1t happened to be
the hour of exercise, and many cadets
were engaged in the gymnasium. Rope,
climbing was one of the exercises.
From rings in the timbers of the roof.
40 feet above the ground, ropes were
suspended and up these the cadets
climbed, using only their hands to
raise and maintain themselves Presi-
dent Diaz and Ambassador Clayton
looked on for few moments, and
then, to the astonisiiment of the
American, the president of Mexico
stripped off his coat, took hold of one
of the ropes, and went up, hand over
hand, to the top as nimbly as any of
the cadets.

A Real Prairie Schooner.

A real prairie schooner was that
described by F. w. Myer of Bonney
Brazoria county as he sat in the ro-
tunda of the Capitol hotel Houston,
Tex. In speaking of it he said: "You
couldn't call it an automobile, but a
windmobile, because it is propelled
over the prairies by the wind. A trial
trip was made a couple of days ago,
and it proved decided success. 1t was
made up of two pair of wheels, the
larger pair being in front and the
smaller in the rear. A board platform
made the floor upon which the occu-
pants stood or sat A 16-foot sail was
planted in the front part of the plat
form and through skilful manipula-
tion the vehicle was enabled to travel
in any direction except straight
against the wind. The prairie road
over which it travelled was not an
exceptionally smooth one, but fur
nished surface that enabled it to
move with celerity. 1t carried six men
on the trip. The result was so salts
factory that others will be built. The
speed at times was 10 or Is miles an
hour. Dallas News.

ECCENTRIC CHRISTENING GIFTS.
How a Bachelor Relative Paid Smart
Young Father Back.

How a Bachelor Relative Paid Smart
Young Father Back.
The conventional piece of plate with
which the baby at its baptism is usual
ly lowered was few months back
bestowed upon the infant son of
Liverpudlian in the shape of quart
tankard embellished with an in
scription to the effect that. as doubt
less the recipient would in due course
inherit the bibulous propensity of his
sire, the accompanying gift would un-
doubtedly, unlike most christening
presents, prove useful. The aforesaid
sire, however. took the matter in i'll
part, and there is now GOODNESS be-
tween the parties.
The present high price of Goals is
asserting itself in many curious ways.
Only last month. on the occasion of
christening in South London sub
urb, the child was presented by his
sponsor with ton of best coal as
the most costly gift it was in it's
donors power to bestow.
1t was geniality that prompted the
action of a certain gourmet who. on
the occasion Of his godchild's baptism,
presented him with a thin volume. ele-
gantly bound in morocco, containing
number of his favorite recipes, which
he had caused to be printed for this
special purpose. with the remark that
one could not begin too young to study
and practice the niceties of the culi-
nary art. AS, however, this strange
gift was accompanied by very hand
some check. the parents smiled
gracious approval upon the eccentric
bon vivant.
When you are seeking a sponsor
for your child don't select one with a
hobby. Such is the opinion, formed
from sad experience, of a Devonshire
father, who few years back rashly
asked his cousin. an enthusiastic nat
uralist just returned from the East. to
act in that capacity. In due course
his relative arrived, and with him, as
gift for his godchild, a large box
containing carefully selected sam
ple-of venomous reptiles At once a
general stampede took place, the
father alone screwing up sufficient
courage to remain and reproach his
cousin, who, after a somewhat stormy
scene, left the house with his present.
At conjuring entertainment given
for the benefit of his family and
friends a certain Mr.. 2 - was i'm
mensely jocular and witty at the ex-
pense of an elderly bachelor relation,
from whose hat he produced a hetero-
genenus assortment of articles Two,
years later Mr.. Y - asked this same
relation to stand godfather to his in
FAINT daughter.
The relation consented. but what
was the fond fathers chagrin when he
produced, not the costly gift that was
expected of him. but the very hat
which two winter back had been. in
the hands of the amateur conjurer,
a veritable cornucorpia, remarking at
the same time that, as he really did
not know what to give, he thought he
had better hand over the wonder-work-
ing hat to the father and let him make
his own selection therefrom. And
with chuckle he left the house

Kept His Heart Out of tho way.

A private in the Dublin fusilie-s,
who collected quite surprising num-
ber of bullets in his body, and is even
more bored by inquisitive visitors to.
the Mooi River hospital. was assailed
by a pompous legislator from Cape
Town. He wearily described his
wounds. Two bullets through his he'll
met, one in his shoulder. another in
his "fut." and two explosive bullets
through his left breast "Its a won
der you weren't killed." said the legis-
lator; they must have passed peril

"They did that. bedad." said the fulsi-
lier, "but was right enough, for sure
