The October number of the Popular Science Monthly contains an article by Prof. Burt G. Wilder entitled “bats and their young.” Beginning bis essay by remarking that all parts of the world ex cepting the colder regions are inhabited by bats; that there are many kinds of bats; that they often occur in very large numbers, and that there are very few persons, young or old, who have not seen a bat, the writer adds: “ Yet, aside from professed naturalists, it is equally prob able that there are still fewer who, from direct observation, could give any accu rate description pf their appearance, their habits, their structure of their relations with the ‘birds of the air’ or the ‘beasts of the earth/ to both of which bats bear more or less resemblance.” Prof. Wilder thinks that this is not strange, “ for bats pass the day- in caves ftncl deserted build ings, and ny about in pursuit of prey only in the twilight. Much less rapid than that of birds, their flight is so irre gular as to render it difficult to follow their course, and in the dusk they are often mistaken for somewhat eccentric members of the swallow family.” The very asp|cf;of bats, we are told,* fe repul sive ; they ..often emit an unpleasant odor; they breed 5 vermin, which thev often leave behind them in houses; tliey bite fiercely when they are captured, having sharp, “almost needle-like” eye-teeth. Buts have rarely been domesticated, there being on record only two instances of the taming of bats. Prof. Wilder caught one when he was a boy, and he gives the following account of his somewhat dis agreeable-pet: “ One of our common bats (probably either the ‘little brown bat,’ VcspertUu) mbulatus, or the ‘little red bat, ) into the house one evening and caught under a hat. It queuked and snapped its little jaws so viciously that all efforts toward closer acquaintance were nosponed until morning. “ When uncovered the next day it seemed as fierce as before, but less active ate, the crushed fly dropped from the tongue, and the well-known clicks pro claimed a hatcred and defiance which hunger could not subdue nor food ap- .peftse. So at least it seemed, and. I think any but a boy naturalist would have yielaed :o the temptation to fling the spiteful creature out of the window. Perhaps, too, a certain obstinacy made me unwilling to so easily relinquish the newly-formed hope of domesticating a bat. At any rate, another fly presented, j and, like the former, dropped the mo- : meat my fingers touched the bend ui'tiic I bat. With a third 1 waited until the j bat seemed to be actually swallowing, and unable to either discontinue that pro cess or open its mouth tojmy extent. “ Its rage and pexplexity were comical to behold, and, when the fly was really down, it seemed to almost burst with the effort to express its indignation. But this did not prevent it from falling into the same trap again;and, to make a long story short, it finally learned by expe rience that while chewing and swallow ing were more or less interrupted by snapping at me, both operations were quite compatible with my gentle stroking of its head. And even a bat has brains enough to see the foolishness of loosing a dinner in order to resent an unsolicited kindness. “ In a few days the bat would take flies from my fingers; although, either from eagerness or because blinded by the light, it too often nipped me sharply in its efforts to seize the victim. “Its vorasity was almost incredible. For several weeks it devoured at least fifty house-flies in a day (it was vacation, anil my playmates had to assist me), and once disposed of eighty between day break ana rahset. “ This bat I kept for more than two months. It would shuffle across the table when I entered the room, and lift up its head for the expected fly. *Vhen traveling it was carried in my breast pocket. “ In the fall it died, either from over eating or lack of exercise, for I dared not mental postulate of all biological re search, we are bound to inquire whether one mode of expression is not much more likely to be true than the ‘other.” g T Epizootic Remedy.—\ zootic prevailed so' ext f hen tj Snsivel epi- three years ago, we had full experience in the benefit of palliative treatment, and none in any other.

But it is only fair to them (tlie bat family) to admit that the number of species which thus injure men and the larger animals is very small; and that while all of our own bats, nnd most of those of other lands, are fierce devourers of insects, and use their sharp teeth for defense against their captors, there are many kinds, especially the larger (Rous- settes, etc.), wnicli live almost wholly upon fruits, and are moreover, quite good eating themselves. So there should be made a distinction between the ven omous and the harmless serpents and the more and the less poisonous spiders. “Perhaps one clement of distrust of the bat family arises from their appar ent nonconfbrmity to either of the com mon animal types. The bat seems to be 1 either a bird with hair and teeth, bring ing forth its young alive, or a mammal with wings and the general aspect of nipii vuv ^vmv*u» ,«yJ)GCv V* » bird. Add to these exceptional features that their attitude, when at rest, is al ways head downward, and that their legs are so turned outward as to bring the knees behind instead of in front, and we may almost pardon the common dislike in its movements, probably overpowered ; of the whole family of bats.

He who iias once believed that life has an aim and a meaning, and who has given up that belief for the conviction that life is simply a misfortune without aim or meaning, lias made but a sorry exchange, even though he may have the gratification of boasting that he is at one with the great thinkers of his age. Cabinet or Parlor Organs. These have become the most popular of large musical instruments. There are now about two hundred and fifty makers of them in the United States, who pro duce more than forty thousand organs per annum. Most of these are very poor instruments. This is naturally so, be cause there are few articles in the manu facture of which so much saving can be made by the use of inferior, improperly prepared material, and inferior work manship, and yet which, when finished show so little difference to the average purchaser. The important parts of an organ, made as well as they can be, cost two or three times as much as if made as low as possible. Yet, when the organ is done, it is not easy from casual hearings to tell the difference between the best and a very poor one. Especially when shown by one who knows how to cover up defects, to one who has not special skill in such matters, it is not difficult to make a poor organ appear a good one. The temptation to makers, then, to produce, at a fraction of the cost, an or gan which will sell almost as well as a good one is almost irresistible. Hence the fact that so few good organs are made and so many poor ones, and that the country is flooded with peddlers and dealers selling these poor organs, which pay such large profits. The buyer of the poor organ does not fail to find out his mistake after a while. The thin reedy tone of his cheap organ soon becomes offensive; it works noisily and roughly, is constantly out of order, and becomes useless by the time a really good instru ment would have been getting into its prime. A good organ ought to last a generation, at least; a poor one may last five years, with considerable tinkering, or may break down much sooner. There is one safe way. Get a genuine production of one of the very best makers and you cannot go astray.

Many per sons complain of a dull pain in tlie side, constipation, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the fowl lying heavily on tlie stomach, accompanied with acidity and belch ing up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a dis ordered condition of tlie stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so a fleeted, if they take one or two heavy colds, and if the couch in these cases he suddenly checked, will find tlie stomach and liver clogged, remaining torpid and inactive, and almost before tliey are aware the lungs are a mass of sores, and ulcerated, the result of which is deatii. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant which does not contain opium or anything calculated to check a cough suddenly.
