The PuEnacfty of Rats.


A glove manufacturer took from .
cabinet the other day a handsome pair
of brown gloves.
"Ratskin," he said. '"rhese gloves
are made Of ratskin. They look well
at first glance, but examine them care
fully Look into the skim"
The skin. though soft and nne and
supple, revealed on close examination
a great many cuts and scars and
scratches. None OF these went Gulto
through; nevertheless their effect was
to weaken the gloves greatly.
"Those cuts and scars" said thu
manufacturer, "are what bar ratskin
out Of glove making. You never get .
skin without them. Hence you can't
make a good, strong, perfect ratskin
glove.
"These scars are the result Of ths
rats pugnacity. Rats fight SO much
that they become at an early age, a
mass of scars. Their torn hides are
of no use to commerce."-New Orleans
