PuGnacity of Rats.

A glove manufacturer took from a
cabinet a handsome pair of brown
gloves. "These gloves are made of
ratskin." he said "They look we'll at
first glance, but examine them care
fully. Look into the skin The skin,
though soft and fine. revealed on close
examination a great many cuts and
scars and scratches. None of these
went quite through. Nevertheless their
effect was to weaken the gloves great
ly. "Those cuts and scars" said the
manufacturer. ''are what bar ratskin
out of glovemaking You never get n
skin without them; hence you can't
turn the damaged skin into a good
glove. Rats fight so much that they
become at an early nge mass of
scars. Their torn hides are of no use
to commerce"

1t is the short piece. be 1t letter or

correspondents who wish their letters

with a little practice. Never try to
see how long you can make your ar

A ROMANTIC LEASE.
One sweet Red Rose as the Rent For
Pcnnsylvania Farm.

/ n Pcnnsylvania FaSn.
The public is generally conversant
with the annual custom Of paying "ont
red rose" as ground rental in eastern
Pennsylvania churches to the descend
ants of those who gave the ground for
the editices. but it Is not generally
known that hundreds of owners OF
farms are under similar obligation
saws the Cincinnati Commercial Trib
une.
"Red rose rent" is yearly paid every
second Sunday in June In the Lutheran
church at Mannheim. Lancaster county
In the Tulpehocken Reformed church
about sixteen miles west Of Reading,
and in several edifices in Lebanon
county, while several congregations IN

but do not.
Roses paid on these occasions to rep
resentatives of families whose ances.
tors made such provisions are treas.
ured as priceless heirlooms, and nj
Mannheim they have come from many
states.
1t is known to few that more than
16O years ago great tracts of farm
land were sold around Reading with
the same stipulation. 1t Is estimated
that at least 10000 acres Of land in
Berks are subject because Of clause
in the original deeds to an annual
ground rent of one red rose.
Records of the Berks courthousc
show that many years before Baron
Stigel provided for the payment of red
rose rent by the church at Mannheim
Caspar Wistar sold land containing the
same clause.
Red rose rent is mentioned in con
nection with land in Tulpehocken, Mar,
ion. Maxatawny, Obey and other town
ships. 1t dates back to 1913.
The Tulpehocken Reformed church is
built on land that Is subject to Zone
red rose" quit rent. The land was
owned by Caspar Wlstar, brass button
manufacturer of Philadelphia. The red
rose rent has been paid to the Philadel-
phia descendants of Caspar Wistar for
some years. The most notable oh
servance was in 1902, when thirty
prominent Philadelphia Wistars at
tended the services and were paid 15i
red roses in payment Of arrears OF
rent.
John Page, described az "a gentle
man from London" was another ex-
tensive real estate speculator in the
early colonial period. He 0lanned to
establish feudal barony along the
Tulpehocken in 1735. Every deed of
land sold by him contained the red
rose clause.

UNIFORM STEPS.

With Then Many Falls Downstair.
Would Be Averted.
Falls on staircases are of rather COM
mon occurrence, especially in houses
where the stairs are steep, dark or
built with sharp turns. The frequent
causes Of serious falls have suggested
that the likelihood of accident of this
kind would be lessened considerably
II all steps were built according to Il
standard of height and breadth.
A childs fall OIL the stairs is apt to
be bad enough, and for an adult 1t
may have serious consequences, but
for an aged person the result is not
unlikely to be fatal; hence It Is held
that the construction of staircases de-
serves more attention than is ordina-
rily paid to it.
The trouble is that stair climbing is
not natural method of progression
for the human being. A child may
learn to walk with ease. but it Is a
long time before it can ascend a stair
way in an upright position without
losing its balance. Stairs have been
brought about by necessity. however

quently used. The stride unconscious
~ becomes adapted to certain height

This unconscious estimate of height
often Is the cause Of many falls. Wher
different stairway Is used the foot Is
unaccustomed to the pitch, and hence
a trip is likely to occur On narrow
and steep staircases there should be 8
hand rail on each side. The instructive
clutch following a stumble would
mean the saving of many limbs and
heads. But the surest way to obviate
accidents would be to standardize all
stairways. at least in the matter OF
height.-New York Press.
