"During my en life I have exper ienced many kinds of showers." said the enptaiti of an English steamer, "but it remained for me to feel the effect of a rain of hats cm the trip down the coast from New York, to Baltimore. One night, when about ten miles off the Dela ware, we were suddenly being struck in the face and on ov.r head and some times on our bodies by myriads of birds, as we supposed. VVc were not long, finding out that the attack was from beats of bats, if I may apply that term. It was Willi difficulty that those on deck could protect themselves from injuries from their sharp, finlike wings as they flew about in all directions. We ran out of the flock during the night, but next morning we captured a number on deck, where they had fallen exhausted. I took up one which had under its wing an in fant bat which it had carried far out to sea, and during the time it was beating about onr decks against the rigging, boats and smokestack this tiny infant had held on and fallen with its exhausted parent to the deck. I shall try to raise the pair, and also several others. 1 doubt if there is anybody who can boast of such a queer capture and has the idea of making pets of them. I shall look up natural history and seek some plan to preserve their lives and sec what will be the result."

TIT JIB old tnald in the sense of I . the typical home-body, fllllns I a dlMtlnrt niche In the nil- "J" tlon'g households, Is pnssliitf from among tin, giving way to the bachelor woman, with her own vi liar aspiration and established inter ests. Even now the genuine old inald la ao scarce as to have risen In Talue. In another generation or ao she w ill have become extinct, and there will be only a garbled likeness of her cer tainly not one that does her justice preserved to posterity. In future times the story of woman's tlrst decamp ment from the home circle will sound in students' ears as the talcs of the ancients sound now to us Interesting, romantic, but very remote from cur rent Issues. It will be told how. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, n tn:ildeti Eve In the sheltered home garden, nil unblemished and sound of heart, sot inkling of a strangely sweet fruit called Independence. How she tnsted It, and finding it good, told her slstrrs about It. She told her brother and brother-in-law about it also, and they smiled indulgently. Independence yes, it was a pretty good thing. The fruit of a tree whose tap-root reached back to creation. It agreed with men splendidly, but it was doubtful bow it would do for women. What did women want with It, any how? They had love, shelter, protec tion. Even influence and reverence had been accorded to them, and now they must east eye upon an exclusively man's prerogative, clearly not mennt for them. And the men or tlie lny so the tale will continue, look counsel together as to how the women folk had contrived to get hold of this pecu liarly man's benefit. Had some man turned traitor in a doting moment auJ let on to sister or sweetheart us t:i the wonderful qualities of Independ ence? Or was the discovery Just some new phase of that niavelous in tuition that lurked In the feminine tnake-un. But however the new Idea started, it must be stopped before mischief en sued. In the first place there was not enough of the fruit to go around if woman dipped into it. As it was, even with the entire stock kept for the sterner sex some man had to put up with a very small share. It must be explained to woman that the after taste of lndependenco was bnd and lessened the pleasure In things woman had heretofore delighted In. That a continual diet of it induced coarse tustcs, developed an understanding ot money matters for one thing and a clear-sightedness and critical faculty thnt ill comported with Tcmiulne charms. ! What chance would man have with woman if she brought too close crltl cisms to bear on hlin? What cherished beliefs nnd rapturous experiences were threatened if woman got any nearer in likeness to man than she was then she who hud been brought up to revere the being masculine with all unquestioning faith in his powers and superiority'.' : No. A tasle of Independence might he well enough for woman's regale mont on occasion. Just sufficient to lolly her along, and that taste Judi ciously mixed with other Ingredients. But for daily commons it was too stimulating for the feminine coustltu lion . Well, the arguments were sounded, the protests reiterated. But woman's day had come. She slipped off her do mestlc habits and traditions as natu rally as the bud slips Its sheaths when the moment Is ripe, nnd made for the opportunities thnt opened with an en orgy and enthusiasm that caused her critics first to stare, then applaud, then help her. And thereupon all over the land vns heard the snapping of family ties and the air settling Into hundreds and huu dreds of vacant spaces in jiousouold economy. This will be the story of woman enfranchisement particularly of the single woman portrayed In social his tory many years hence; and coupled with it will be reminiscences of the sort of person the old maid was before she developed business capacity now she had a talent for mending, darnlu comforting and soothing, the liko of which never was secured to man's household after her taking away; bow she cared for the little folks of what ever household sheltered her with au unflagging loyalty thnt was tenderness itself and knit in with the very mar row of her being. In fact, stauch loyalty nnd dlsintcr-estedr-ess will be the chief traits ot the old-style old maid preserved to posterity. Now It was n niece upon whom she lavished her affection, turn Ing over to this niece whatever store of money she possessed, and abdicating every slightest right to spend uer own means on herself. Again, it was in a cousin's home that she shone a vital influence, bo ever-present nnd to be depended upon that her ministrations were counted as much a matter or course as the sun's rising and setting. Now she was volunteer foster-mother lu a sister's household, cuddling and doing for a succession of infants In the family cradle, and so leaving the mother freer for social and connubial duties. And whatever she did she did uncommonly well, with a thoroughness that could only coiuo of genuine love tor tue tnsu There will probably never be In the world again such, beautifully executed sewing lavished on homely garments as the old maid bestowed on tho plain little everyday articles worn by her charges. Such print-like stitches, such veji-io-n-iiireau Beaming. Let moro enterpiislpg peoplo design and make tho new raiment aud uppurtenanco for ine ranuiy; Hera the self-elected task or Keeping the partly worn articles in repair. Making whole the torn, but soft, comfortable things such a boon to children, The old maid could tuend ill 9 a tablecloth so that yon couldn t tell where the piece was put In. She could rub up n mustard plaster to perfection In the quickest possible time. And hind tip n hurt finger and heal any Irri tation to the feelings In a way that was an art.' Besides, she bad a genius for keeping track of the things In a household apt to go astray. The mas ter's paper. -the children's toys, pre nilum receipts, etc. In many regards, however, shs was absurdly In the wake of her self- reliant sister of to-day. Very timid about travelling alone. Apt to get all over In shivers at the sight of it mouse or a bat. And as for outside affairs! She never would have dreamed of in dorsing a check, or of going to n bank, or having nny money traintnctlmtf whatever without masculine assist ance. In fact, she. looked upon checka and all business papers with awe as entirely out of her world. It Is doubt ful if In her whole life she ever bought a railway ticket or any other ticket for herself, or made even the smallest purchase without consulting some body. In her clinging dependence the oh; maid was a tamo sort of creature com pared to her bachelor sister. A char acter something akin to Thackeray's Amelia, with the heart quality for n dominating characteristic. Formed on neutral, almost negative, lines, with unobtruslveness and unselfishness so welded In together that It took familiar acquaintance to snpreelute her real worth. The old maid living under the protection of a male relative would have scorned to ask or receive pay for her services as ardently as the bache lor woman nowadays would scorn the giving of her work for nothing. "The laborer Is worthy of his hire," Is the bachelor's belief, and the difference between her creed and the old maid's is in the nature of the compensation, The old maid took out her pay in lovt love that she lavished without thought of return. And the value of hrr ministrations, even If summed up entire, could certainly never have beer paid for in any colu ever devised." The old maid believed In man as o natural authority and ruler much raor firmly than the bachelor maid believes In him to-day. Trobably because the clear, every-day light In which the lat ter meets her co-worker tends to dlvesl him of exalted attributes. There was always some mystery about the old maid's singleness. Some sense of sup pressed romance or half-strauglcd at tachment in the undercurrent of her life. Her lover died, 'or else never knew she loved him, or was a truant. A more worldly nature would have known how to rectify matters and have reared a new shrine at which to worship. Not so the old maid. Once attached, always attached. It might have been that there was not enough of curthly alloy about her to attract man's fancy- But. bo thnt as It may. what was the Individual loss In this instance was the universal gain. It would have been woful Indeed to have lost In marriage that ideal of single blessedness as it developed while "on the shelf," occupied quietly in the all unnoted routine of commouplace duty. New York 1'ost. SAVED BY A CANNON SHOT. Tlie Man From Whom Mrs. Stunton In lieritait Her Militant Character. It Is not generally known that Eliza- beth Cady Stanton was a grandchild of that Colonel James Livingston whoso Independent action while In com- maud of the batteries at West roinl rendered Beuedict Arnold's treason fruitless, and proved the turning poUt In the Revolutionary cause. Yet t.ncb Is tho fact, her mother, Margaret Liv ingston, a woman of great beauty und self-rellant'charaeter, being a daughter of that energetic young artillery olticet who fired on the British sloop-of-war Vulture. Colonel Livingston was stationed nt West Polut when Benedict Arnold made the attempt to deliver thut stronghold Into tint hands of the en emy, lu the absence or Ills superior oflieer, he took tho responsibility of firing Into the Vulture, a suspicious- looking British vessel that lay at anchor near the opposite; bank of fne Hudson Ulver. It was a fatal shot for Major Andre, with whom General Ar nold was thcu In direct communica tion, endeavoring to consummate the treason he had contemplated for many months. Hit between wind and watot the vessel spread hersalls and hastened down the river, leaving Major Andre, 1th bis papers, to be captured by au outpost of American irregulars, while General Arnold made his escape through the Hues before his treason was suspected. Ou Geueral Washluglon's arrival at West Point he sent for Colonel Living ston and reprimanded him for acting In so important a matter without or ders, thereby making himself liable to court-martial; but, after fully Impress ing the younc officer with the danger or uucb .elf-sufllclency in ordinary oc- fusions, ne admitted tnat a most ror- tunnte shot had been sent Into the Vulture. "Wo are In no condition," h explained, after ending his military admonition, "to tiefeud ourselver against the British forces now quar tered in New York, and the capture of Major Andre has saved us."

VurunjjrjsiruTisu 7 HE place to look for Yankees to-day Is in California. Ills territory extends from the Si erra Nevada Mountains to tho raclfle Coast, nnd covers tho entire central portion of the Slate. This "California Yankee"' Is probably the most distinctive personality in the extensive Western civilization to-day. He Is thoroughly tyjilcal of n country about which little has been said In 'its interest Ing -ent lrety. The writer recently traveled exten sively throughout the Pacific Const New England, and was Impressed thnt In many ways it was a veritable off spring ot genuine, true-blue Yankee dom. Our Y'ankee of the Golden Gale Stale left New Englnnd In thednys of '-10. He still tells about bis trip "Around the Horn In a Wind Jammer," and al though bo has been in his Central Call fornln home for fifty years, he Is still a Y'ankee, and ft Now England Yankee at that, with a nasal twang that would mark hlra anywhere. He was one of a generation that has done big things wherever they have operated; nnturally he has done some of his biggest things out here on the Pacific Coast, where he found a new land nnd the biggest kind of opportunities for cxenclslng his vig orous Yankee spirit. His principal op erations have been confined to tho big Central Valley of the State of Cali fornia, although, bis Influence has becu felt in every city and township In the State. Now just listen to what he did last year In his Central California em pire: . .. He raised 280 times as much wheat as New England, twelve times as much barley and one-half as much corn. He raised sixty times as much fruit, with at least double the market rating. He owns four times as many sheep, and more cattle and swine. He deposited $110 In the savings bank for each member of his family and for each employe on bis farm. He raised 80,000 tons of raisins and harvested from"a vineyard larger than all his New Englnnd cousin's cornfield. In point of population he Is only one eighth as large, but he lives in the great Central Valley of California and owns nearly one-half as much land. He goes at things In a big way, aud almost everything he bns is big. He has the biggest trees In his woods, the largest fruit trees in his orange or chard. He owns a vineyard that cov ers 310,000 acres, and even his onion patch is more than four miles square. In Death Valley he has the depeest valley in the United States, and In Mt. Whitney the highest mountain peak. He Is a great fisherman and owns one fourteenth of all the fishing In the Union, while In San Francisco Harbor he has the largest inland harbor in the world. His Western neighbors all call him a "California Yankee," nnd e deserves the title, for he Is as versatile as when he left tne New Englanu Coast fifty odd years ago. He cuts his grain with a great com bined harvester that is really the larg est automobile In the world, since it moves by steam, but this big automobile is also a fast and effective worker, for os it advances over a field of standing grain, cutting a swath thirty-two feet wide, It leaves tho sacks of grain lu Its wake all threshed and sacued. This California Y'ankee is a married man, and bo usually has four children (3.S'J). He owns his own farm, which is not mortgaged, and his account in the savings bank bns Increased for the past eleven years. lie lives out of doors a great deal of the time, and for this reason be is twenty-seven pounds heavier than his Yankee cousin. His wife loves flowers, and she has one little bed of violets, thirty acres in all, from which she makes perfume. She also hns 3000 acres of sweet peas, nnd a bed of wild popples covering many square miles. As to bcr table she Is very particular, having 2500 acres In her largest asparagus bed. Her husband sometimes takes to mining, and the queerest phase in which he Indulges is In dredging tho bottoms of streams. Ho has thirty four dredgers, In which he has Invested $1,000,000, lit work. These dredgers bring up gold and mud from twenty five feet below the surface of water, and fifteen feet beneath tho bottom of the liver bed. Our California Yan kee Is the only man In the world who takes a try at this sort of mining, but then It netted him $3,000,000 hist year, .and he believes he will be $5,000,000 the better at the close of tho present year. The country In which he lives Is 400 miles long, and he is quite different from other Cnllforuinns or Westerners. His voice sometimes has the real New England twang, aud he often wears a black slouch hat. . Strange thut for,, a Yankee he Is something of a river man, and in 1801 he taught Mark Twain bow to pilot a flntboat up the Sacramento River. The year before that he started In the newspaper business, and he saw Mark Twain and Bret Harte co-workers on the Weekly California. It was not much of a paper. Mark Twain says It was a "weakly paper," but Twain and Bret Harte worked very hard at $12 and $20 a week. If you have read any one of tho above paragraphs you will realize that this Callforniu Yankee lives in a won derful country a land of extreme fer- I tlllty and of great natural resources. Although Its mineral wealth first attracted the settlers to this great land, and the golden days of '49 lured the travelers from peaceful New England farms, yet many a shoel that turned for gold has cultivated the roots of an orange tree. Moat of tbo settlers in this territory originally came from the Atlantic Coast States, They came by sea, as the Journey overland was too great. but, having come, most of them re mained. Only last week I suw an old nruxnrvnnrinjn hulk that hnd long linn submerged In M slough near Stockton, California. This bulk wi;s the corpus delicti of an old sea-going vessel thnt was deserted by all save her master, who Mayed "hard by" nnd built a house tipon it, where he kept a restaurant and dined his comrades at the mess tabic for many years. At Han , Jcaquin City there Is a crumbling tiwiiy of the bones of an other ship that came round the Horn. This ship's bell was used for many years at Durham's J'crry to summon the ferryman to his work. That's the way tbo Yankee first came to his new country, nnd ho came by whaleboats and all manner of craft. Arriving, he chained his ship and let her rc'. wbllr he nought for gold. On the other hand, the bulk of the men who came to the Coast In '40 over the overland route ended up In the Southern portion of the Slate, which was natural, because the steep Sierras headed them off. ' Moreover, many of those who started ucross the plains dropped by the way side, and settled In Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis Hnd Omaha, but out real New Knglnnder the man who came "around the Horn," stayed In the State, nnd hns become tho California Yankee. Ho Is a vigorous type, and from a monetary standpoint he Is the most successful small farmer in I he conn try. Although the climate is almost ui'inl-troplc. yet he still Is engaged In pursuits eminently characteristic of New Englnnd. His dairy farming Is curried on more extensively than In nny other locality In the United States. He raises sheep and he has great farms, but no ranches. He 1 rarely chid In homespun, but be Is simple and frugnl. The country In the greot Central California Is almost entirely composed of farms. The archi tecture of the villages, the churches, the sunbonnets of the women, all tell of customs nnd habits transmitted from New Englnnd, and that the "Califor nia Yankee" has suffered no substan tial change through bis residence in the Pacific Coast New England.

A fence nearly 200 feet long at Liv tngston, Mont., Is made entirely of horns of the elk more properly called wapiti.

When one stops to think about It, the different colors of different lakes are quite a remarkable feature of the earth's construction. Some lakes are distinctly blue; others show various shades of green, so thnt in some in stances they are hardly to be distin guished from their level, grass-covered banks, and few are almost black. The Lake of Geneva ts axure lined, the Luke of Constance and Lake of Lu cerne are green. The Lake of Brlonz In Switzerland is greenish yellow, and its neighbor, Lake Tbun, Is blue. It is well known that flies am the unlural prey of spiders, yet, strange to say, they are in Brazil some files which prey on spiders. Tho daring little insects do not differ much from ordinary riles. They have fat, short bodies and large heads, long greeii wings, aud usually come upon the spi ders when the latter are unprepared and stlug them to death. A spider nf ter being stung once bns generally strength enough to hide In a tuft of grass, but his shelter does not hide him long, for the pitiless fly soon re turns and completes his work by sting lug the helpless victim lu the lower part of tbo neck.
