FLYING FOXES OF INDIA.
During the Day They Sleep In Trees.
Hanging Head Downward.

People who have lived In India are
familiar with the long strings OF flying
foxes which can often be seen vending
their way In single file from their
sleeping places IN remote trees TO the
fruit gardens upon which they prey.
These curious creatures, says writ
or in the Wide World Magazine. some
times measure as much as four feet
across the wings and have reddish
brown fur and mole colored wings.
After their nocturnal depredations they
fly away with the dawn 20 a tree in
some isolated place and there rest dur
ing the day. hanging head downward
from the boughs I'm the manner OF bats.

As the flying foxes gather on the tree
selected there Is tremendous comno-
ton. for each newcomer Is vigorously
driven of from one place after another
until he eventually manages to secure
n perch for himself Those on the tree
meanwhile keep up an incessant wran-
Cling. each endeavoring 10 secure the
highest and best place to rest on.
Sometimes many hundreds OF these de-
structive creatures may be seen hang

Uses Of Menu Cards.

1T wouldn't take so many menu
cards to carry us through at dinner"
said the head waiter, IF people didn't
scribble so many notes on them and
make them unfit for use Memoranda
Of all kinds are jotted down on these
cards during a meal. Arithmetical puz-
zles are solved, the particulars Of bust
ness deals are worked out, financial
problems are wrestled with, sonnets
are composed, and social engagements
are made and broken. The fact is l

A Personal Preference.

A well known magazine writer moved
not so very long ago from Brooklyn to
California. On the day before the fam
lily started west he went for a walk
through the neighborhood with his
four-year-old son.

you'll be sorry to leave all your little
chums here"
The youngster thought he would. At
that lie did not seem TO show much
emotion ut the prospect OF parting
from all his friends.

Masked Women.

Upper class Swahili women wear
curious masks. which are made Of
leather and beads on wooden frame.
The mask Is derived from the tradi-
tional usage OF Moslem women. who
must keep their faces covered in the
presence Of men. For several cen
turtles Arab traders have frequented
this east African coast, and to their
influence are due most OF the civilized
customs found today among the ma
tives of the district. The clothing
worn by these prosperous danes is OF
silk, their shoes are partly of silver. and
they wear much silver jewelry. The
Mosems in Zanzibar, by the way. are
less fanatically strict about religious
usageS than their brethren in Morocco
and Turkey Wide World Magazine.
