began to soar weeks ago that this hen
selected the bank vault as the place
for depositing her eggs. Paschall
says she evidently had a due appre-
citation of their vault.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH.
Descendants Of the Germans Who Came
to This Country In 1852.


To most Americans the word Dutch"
means German. The Dutch are Hol-
landers from the Netherlands. New
York was first settled by the Dutch
from Holland
The first Germans came to this coun-
try in 1852 and settled at Germantown.
1t is estimated that the Germans and
their descendants in Pennsylvania
numbered 100000 at the time Of our
revolution. The descendants of these
are called the Pennsylvania Germans
or Dutch. The word Dutch is cor
ruption of Deutsch, meaning German.
The early Germans were followers
of Memo Simons, known as MennOn-
ties. They were prosecuted in their
own country on account of their re-
ligious belief and when Penn offered
religious liberty 1t was gladly accept
ed by them. The prosecuted Germans
came largely from the Rhenish palati-
nate, Wurtemberg, from the lower
Rhine, Alsace, SaXony and Switzer-
land.
The southeastern counties OF Penn
sylvania, such as Lancaster, York,
Berks and Lebanon, were chosen for
settlement. These settlers spoke a
variety of dialects, and, owing to seq
regation in religious communities, they
clung to their mother tongue. English
words have since crept in and as a re
suit We have the somewhat pictur
esque language known as the Penn
sylvania Dutch" Their religious be
lief and their common interest have
preserved this class with singular
| purity.-Philadelp Ledger.

MORTGAGES ON LAND.
Why II Is Essential That They Should
Be Recorded.


Why It lS Essential That They Should
Be Recorded.
AS the value of land to the owner
increases so does the security of mort
gage Investments given on that land
increase. A mortgage may be consid-
cred as deed of the land which re-
vests the title In the original owner or
his successor on the paying off of the
mortgage or the bond or note which
the mortgage secures.
Mortgages are recorded in public
offices. called registers. recorders or
county clerks offices. in much the same
way that deeds are. so that any one
buying the land is bound to take no
tice of them. and the land is bound by
them. no matter to whom the land is
conveyed, and no one has right to
say that he bought the land not know
ing that a mortgage was on it, for he
is presumed by law to know such
facts, as a search of the title in these
public Offices would reveal
If. however. the holder Of the mort
gage does not cause the mortgage tC
be recorded then any innocent pur
chaser of the land can take it clear oi
the lien of the mortgage.
In no particular has the law of thi'
country gone further than in the effor
to secure the title of the Landowner
and the security of the mortgage hold
er. and no investments are more high
~ regarded by the conservative bust
