A French Industry That Is Linked With the Restaurants. I plucked bats in Paris once at 4 franca a day," said a sailor. "Bata hibernate In the winter. .

Just go into a cave, you know, locate a bunch of bats and then pluck 'em one at a time like grapes and drop 'em in your burlap bag. All that winter I'd set out from the Cart-shay with my big bag in the morn in', and on toward night you'd see me staggerin back along the Bull Meesh. as we called the Boulevard Michel. s loaded down with bibernatln bats. , " 'You don't feed these to your clientele.

LINCOLN'S IRONY. His Reply to Petition For a Dishonest Bey's Pardon. The Hon. Alexander H. Rice once paid a visit to President Lincoln on behalf of a Boston boy who had been imprisoned for robbing; his employer's letters. After reading the petition, signed by many citizens of Boston, the president stretched himself in his chair and asked Mr. Rice if he had met a man going downstairs. "Yes, Mr. President." replied Mr. Bice." t , ' "His errand." said the president a to get ' a man pardoned out of the penitentiary, and now you have come to get a boy out of jaU." Then, with characteristic humor, Mr. Lincoln continued: "I'll ten you what It is, we must abolish these courts or they will be the death of us. I thought it bad enough that they put so many men In the penitentiary for me to get out. but if they have now begun on the boys and the jails and have roped you into the delivery let's after them! "They deserve the worst fate." he went on. "because, according to the evidence that comes to me, they pick out the very best men and send them to the penitentiary, and this present petition shows they are playing - the same game on the boys and sending them all to Jail The man that you met on ; the stairs affirmed that his friend lnf the penitentiary is a most exemplary citizen, and Massachusetts must be a happy state if her boys out of jail are as virtuous aa this one appears to be who Is in.

A PETITIONER WAS HEARD

DR. KINSEY STATES THAT HE BE LIEVES THE IMPROVEMENT IS A NECESSARY ONE NO ACTION YET TAKEN. Further protest asainst the proposed improvement of North Eighth street by the construction of cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters was made at today's session of the board of public works. The complaint against the improvement was made by John D. Vaughan, Edward Vaughan, John J. Harrington and Richard Van Zant. It was claimed the improvement is not needed D.r. Joseph H. Kinsey appeared for the remonstra tors. He made the statement that he believes the men who are opposing the improvement would not suffer if It were made. : John Vaughan Opposed. John Vaughan said he owns 70 feet of ground on the street and that he does not believe the improvement is necessary. He has a hard brick pave ment in front of his properties but the pavement is very uneven and water stands in puddles after each heavy rain. Edward Vaughan owns from Main street to Sailor street on the east side of Eighth. Hard brick pavement is in front of his building. There are depressed - places in the surface. He said he does not believe in standing in the way of public Im provement but it might be advisable to delay this one. Harrington Speaks. John J. Harrington wants the mat ter- indefinitely postponed. He owns forty feet of land between his wholetiale house and the "V". JV1. J. A. build ing. Soft brick is Jhere now. Its sur face is very far from level. Last winter snow two feet deep was permitted to remain on this section of the walk several days. Harrington believes the present sidewalks are all, right. He contemplates the erection of 'a building on the lot some time in the future and anticipates trouble in the work if a cement walk be laid at the time. Mr. Harrington said he was authorized to ask for the removal of the name of C. C. Cain from the petition. He said Cain had told him he signed the petition because he believed it was favored by "the bank people." Mr. Cain is a stock holder and president of the Richmond Citndy company? ''AT- hard brick pavement is in front of the company's building, but it is so full of depressions that after a heavy rain puddles of water have to be waded through. Dr. Kinsey said Cain told him he consented to have his name removed from the petition to please "his neighbor," Mr. Harrington, improvement Needed. Dr. Kinsey said he presented the petition because he believed the improvement needed. He said North Eighth is one of the principal streets of the city. It is used more by outsiders probably than any other street in the city, as It is a direct route to the Pennsylvania station. He said he believes the business men whose property Is . concerned, can well afford the cost. He said he thought if they can build three story, flats they can lav cement sidewalks, also. He claimed the walks are not In as good condition as those in other parts of the city. He represented he had been told by Mr. Gennett that the latter heard frequent complaints about the poor condition of the walks to the theater, patrons claiming they suffered from wet feet while walking on Eighth street to the Main street car line. The board of works did not decide upon the matter, but took it under further, advisement,. This was the second session at which remonstrators had appeared. In both cases the same objections were made by the same men. The board will be guided comewhat in making its. decision by public sentiment, actual conditions and the ability of the property owners to pay the assessment. - DIPLOMATIC JOBS ANNOUNCED TODAY President Sends Appointments To the Senate.

Formerly the days of the week were numbered one, two, three, four, five and six, beginning with the Sabbath. Even now the custom still prevails among certain modern Greeks, the Slavs and the Finns. Many old fashioned and orthodox Quakers, particularly la the north of England, still bold to this custom, which was the common one in the dsys of the apostles and down to the fourth century as well at usual among the Jews and the Arabs. The orthodox Quakers use the numerical system In preference to the ordinary on the ground that the gods and goddesses, from whom tbe names were tsken, were not of the highest respectability in point of morals. The week was originally only a convenient quarter of tbe lunar month; bence it began on Monday, or moon day. The Italians still call Monday the first and Sunday the seventh day of the week. Tuesday Is derived from the Norse Tlw, who corresponded to Mars, tbe god of war, a most disreputable person ' In the eyes of Quakers. Thursday was Thors day, Thor being a god warrior who was morally no better than he ought to be. Wednesday, again, was Woden's day, Woden being the god of battle rage. The Romans called this day Mercury's. Friday was supposed to be the luckiest dsy of the week for women. It was called after the Norse Frija, the goddess of love, and Is tbe best day for weddings. For the pagan Romans It wss also the dsy of Venus, though tte Christian Romans called It tte day of 111 luck because Christ had been crucified on that day. Saturday, was called after Saturn, and Sunday was known to tte Christians as resurrection or sun day. Tbe week of seven days wss Imported from Alexandria into Greece and into Italy about the time of Christ The Greeks bad priously divided their month Into sets of ten days, the Romans into sets of eight days, three and a half sets being equal to one month.
