Bats are often reganled with as much hor ror as snakes; the wheeling flight of the little creatures m the twilight, their dusky forms. abroad liko wings and fiery eyes seem to league mem with the sujiernatiiral; but they re generally not only nannies, but useful. They are a scourge to insects of every kind, from the musquito upward, and somo of the American Indians-use them as food. The big fruit bats of tho Indian peninsula are consid ered as great luxuries by the natives, A bai measuring two feet from tip to tip most be a formidable looking thing to en eooiiter, and t his is the sue of the fruit eat jjieyViof tth Amazon, to whim tho iwm ny-w often gie-" t,vu these . . . . - . . en ; ts'i - , are hut is, however, a smaller n"r",s sith America which does suck the bl.xvl v ,-y animals, including human Tbo mischief does not consist in the quan tity of blood abstracted by the bat itself, but in the far greater flow from the triangular puncture after the withdrawal of the aggres sor. It has lieen objected by obstinato unbe lievers that no one has ever seen the wound inflicted; but, considering that the bat only bites in darkness, the proof upon which these kepi ics insist U not easily obtainable. The curious feature in the. bat's bite, says a recent traveler, is that it is hardly ever felt, even when the person attacked is nwake. I myself had a remarkable illustration of this, and stood with a man who was remark lug that he could not understand how people always got so unaccounlobly bitten, though whilst he was actually making this remark, In the dusk, a bat was sucking oueof his toes. as was evidenced by the bat being seen by ae and himself tet flutter away, whilst the man's toe, to bis great surprise, was found to be bleeding severely. Youth's Companion. Johns Hopkins University. There is no division of ma.riculutes into freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes. The scope of piivilegos and strifes based on such a division is narrowed to a poor margin of differences so little emphasized as to furnish no comfort to even self-asserting superiority. The matriculate courses of study are marked out for three years, and when tho student is ready to be examined, and try for bis degree, be is free to do so. Class jealousies and impositions are unknown. There is no approach to hazing or tho terror sf forced speeches at tlie dead of night. 60 far as the present writer bas been able to dis eover, there is no working chapter of any secret fraternity here. There are no rival debating or literary societies, hotbeds of enthusiasm, where the frenzied young speakers may defy and deify one another. There is, however, one very flourishing liter ary organization, called the Hopkins House of Commons, in which "bills" embodying various principles and public questions are passed under consideration according to the strictest parliamentary processes. Tho public session of this body in Hopkins hall about ace a year is a great treat to both university members and the general public James Cunimings in Lippincott's. The American Woman's Gait Why is it that so few American women walk well, you wonder. Is it lacing or bustles r what that spoils their gait? And as you study this problem another presents itself quite worthy of pedal science. Terrible toe charge is, it seems none the leas true that nearly all southern women "toe iu." Ten ladies, all young, from Baltimore and New Orleans, have crossed the sands. One of tuem b planted her dainty feet properly, suigliiig them away from each other as they falL Another has approached this, but the remaining eight have either set their feet in a straight line ahead or pointed them a little inward.

It is especially healthful During winter snonttn a. steady, average temperature of 70 degs, Fahrenheit obtains, with strong north erly breezes that sweep the old Dutch streets clean, and there are no epidemic diseases.

Ward II. Lnmon's Letter. All Had Heart Ulsrsae. Professor Blank, of E , devoted a whole week of the session to lecturing to liisslu dents on the subject of heart disease. He had a private apartment opening off the class room, to which be was wont to retire after he hail finished his discourse in order to take oil bis gown and enjoy a little meditation by the tire. On the afternoon of the second dav a modest knock came to the door. "Kilter, said Professor Blank. And, bat in band, ay penred one of his students, looking souiewhut worried and pa ie. "What can 1 do for you, Mr. M. !'' "Nothing, I fear," was the reply. "Nothing on earth can aid me. I have the very symptoms that you were today decrib ing. bound me and see, sir." Tlie sounding was soon performed. "You're iu erfect health as regards your heart" That was the verdict And Mr. 51. went away happy. But hardly bad the kindly old professor re sumed his sent before another knock re sounded 011 tho door. "Come in. Well, what') the matter with you, Mr. C. f 'Tin a dead man," gasped Mr. O, looking wildly round as if ho wanted to clutch something. "I've got heart disease as sure as a gun." f'ut quite as bud as that, I trust Take off your coat." Ausculation and percussion were speedily performed; Uien the professor laughed in C.'s face. "Sound as a bell, man," he said. "Go home to your dinner, and don't be a fool." The doctor did not sitdown again, however. No; he was afrail there would be more of them, so be hurried along through the squad and got into bis carriage. But bu had two meftr visits nt bis residence 011 the same night from frightened students, and every day during the remainder of that week he bad a visit or two of the same kind. On the following Monday ho got on to fevers, slid the students completely recovered from their cardiac complaints. Cassell's Magazine, Vague Ideas of Newspaper Work. It is amusing to see the vague ideas of newspaper work held by people outside of the profession. I suppose thut there are few newspaper men who have not leen accosted in the coin-so of a quiet stroll by some friend who wears a knowing grin and exclaims: "Ahl hunting for news." And when told that a man rarely goes for news unless he it sent by tiie city editor, regard you with a smile of incredulity.- The general public seems to have an idea That a newspaper mail chases around after items like an entomolo gist after butterflies. Of tbo machine like system of a great newspaper office they have no con eptlon. Not tho least amusing phase of this Ignor ance is displayed by people who have never attempted brnin work. "I saw a piece you wrote 111 our paper," said an old farmer to me the other day. "How much do you get for such a piecef "Alxjut $15," I replied. "How long does it take you to write such u piecef he queried presently. "Alioiit two hours," I answered. Then I could plainly see that tho old man was making a mental cal culation something like this; Fifteen dollars in two hours would be $7.50 an hour, work ing ten hours a ilny nd unless a man works ten hours a tlay he would be hopelessly lnzy in the opinion of the old farmer would bo $75 a day; six days in the week would run up to $450 a week. He did not liko to think me a liar, so he simply smiled and murmured : "I reckon you don't work very bard." The Journalist.
