Show Bats In Belfries. "Bats In belfries are a frightful nuisance," said a young clergyman. "In the belfry of dear old Saint Judo's they nro as thick as flies, and I don't know how to get rid of them. They eat tho candles, you know, tho communion com-munion cloths, tho vestments, tho Incense, In-cense, tho mattings, and they oven drink tho consecrated wine. Strango it is to think of bats doing that, Isn't it? A strange bat dlot, truly candles, Incense, embroidered vestments and holy wine. I havo tried to smoko out tho pests by burning sulphur, but they appear rather to like thoso fumes. For a Bure way to rid my belty ot Its bats I'd gladly give two dollars." |
