THE TRUE VAMPIRE.
An Experience With the Blood Suck
Ing Animal In India.


CHANGING one evening to observe a
rather large bat enter an clubhouse from
Which there was no other egress than
Dy the doorway, was fortunate in be-
ing able to procure light and thus to
proceed to the capture of the animal.
Upon finding itself pursued it took
three or four turns around the apart
ment, when down dropped what at the
moment | supposed to be it's young and
which deposited in my handkerchief
After a somewhat tedious chase l then
secured the object of my pursuit. which
proved to be fine female megaderma
| then looked to the other bat which
had picked up and to my considerable
surprise found it to be a small kind of
pipisTelle, which is exceedingly album
dant throughout India.
The individual now referred to was
feeble from loss of blood, which it was
evident the megaderma had been suck
ing from a large and still bleeding
wound under and behind the ear, and
the very obviously suctorial form of
the mouth of the megaderra was itself
sufficient to hint the strong probability
OF such being the case. During the
very short time that elapsed before |
entered the clubhouse it did not appear
that the depredator had once alighted,
and | am satisfied that it sucked the
vital fluid from its victim as it flew,
having probably seized it on the wing,
and that it was seeking quiet nook
where it might deyour the body at
leisure.
l kept both animals separate till next
morning, when, procuring a convenient
cage, first put in the megaderma, and
after observing it for some time |
placed the pipistrelle with it. No soon
er was the latter perceived than the
other fastened upon it with the ferocity

POULTRY POINTERS.

Everything in the poultry house
should be dry.
Ducks will not thrive on sloppy food
nor on cornmeal alone.
Boiled potatoes, turnips and other
vegetables may be fed to ducks to adj
vantage.
A good food for fattening fowls can
be made by mixing cornmeal with
mashed potatoes and milk.
In dry picking poultry the picking
must be done While the fowl is warm
as soon as possible after the fowl is
killed.
The nests should never be fastened to
the poultry house in such way that
they cannot be readily removed and
cleaned.
Fowls are very fond of raw vegeta-
bles. Beets, carrots, turnips and espe-
cially cabbage may be fed to advan-
tage. The best plan is to chop them
fine
A dressed fowl may be made to look
plump by dipping it for ten seconds in
water that is nearly boiling hot and
then holding it until chilled in cold
water.

The Dog.

Man is the best friend of the dog
Horses come next, but between the dog
and all other farm animals, from the
house cat to the COW and the beef steer,
there seems to be natural enmity.
Dogs, however, are fond of sheep and
goats. but as diet, not as living friends.
Cows and sheep and goats should be
kept as free from association with dogs
as is possible, with the exception Of the
trained shepherd dog. A dog walking
through cowpen will often cause a
decrease in milk flow that amounts to
more than the cash value of the dog.
Many dogs are worth considerably less
than nothing.

WELVE o'clock and all is WE'LL, -
came the midnight answer of
the first sentry on guard duty.
The same reply came from two,
three and four. Before the trooper
designated as No. had time to reply
the one who answered to No. had
drawn his Colts revolver and in quick
succession had fired six shots into the
body of headless horseman who had
suddenly made his appearance in fu-
rious but noiseless dash through the
hay corral which he was guarding. The
shots were followed by four more from
his carbine. There was commotion
at the garrison. The officer of the day
rode up for an explanation and in
moment or two laughingly swung his
horse to canter and returned to the
post.
But he left brave though perplexei
boy behind him. 1t was at Fort Meade
but few months ago. Ambitious for
a military life born of experience in

shots in the regiment, yet he is mere
boy.

revolver at the phantom horseman will
never pass from his memory. When

SOME WATER FACTS
That Are Very Pleasing in This Year
of Srace.

A reporter for The Republican Sc
cured yesterday from Water Commits
sioner Frank P. Trott some facts re-
garding summer water that are very
pleasing to contemplate just now and
tending to bear out the theory fire.
quently heard that this country in res
pect of moisture operates on the cycle
plan OF alternating about seven dry
years with an equal number of wet
ones. The last dry cycle seems to
have ended last fall and it is hoped
by all and predicted by many that the
valley will for the next seven years
enjoy an unusually liberal rainfall.
Yesterday, June 1e 1903, there were
over 2S, 600 miners inches of water in
Salt river. a condition heretofore un-
known at this season. This amount of
water is 1900 inches in excess of the
average flow on thai. date during the
last ten years. The nearest to this
flow was June 16. 1897. when the water
measured 10, 1856, over $500 inches less
than yesterday. The smallest flow on
June 16 since 1893 was in 1902 when the
water measured only 6.057 inches and
the next smallest was in 1900 when the
flow was G,625.
These figures. as stated above, are
for June 16 in the respective years. In
some of the seasons the water got
even lower later on and in July last
year there were less than 5000 inches
and in July. 1900 in got as low as 5.2C0
inches.
The meat of il all is that the wet
era has been properly ushered in and
the indica items are that the dow all

Beauty roses. The basket has been
tipped over ana the roses are spread
about in profusion. ':'he coloring of
the leaves and the petals is perfect, or
as nearly perfect as men may make or
blend perfect colors in imitation Of ma
ture. The coloring of the background
is such as to bring ont the beauty of
the flowers best.
There are interesting skillfully pro-
duced aojuncts. Drops of dew glisten
on the flowers, and even the mold
which is nearly always seen on the
leaves OF the roses indicati ting a local
decay has been marvelously repro
duced. The naturalness of the picture
is further heightened by bees whose
colors are so difficult of reproduction.
