There Mulvaney ehecka the author from stirring the Ore with OrtherU' bayonet on the ground that Are takea the heart out of the ateeL The real reason la mueb more mysteri ous. It waa one of the maxima of Pythagoras "uot to atlr the fire with a sword," and to this dit- the wander ing trlbea of North America and of northeast Asia hold It a sin to take op a burning ember for a pipe light with the point of a knife. The ex planation la undoubtedly given by Jo bannea de Piano Carpinl when he tella us that one of the Tartar superstitions concerns "sticking a knife Into the fire or In any way touching the fire with a knife or even taking meat out of the kettle with a knife or cutting near the fire with an ax, for they believe that o the bead of the tire would be cut off." This la evidently connected with the ancient Idea that fire la a living crea ture, a aacred animal, which must not b wounded by Its buninn owners In case It should be annoyed and deprive them of Its valuable services. Is this in any degree more irrational than the belief still existent among housekeep ers that a feeble flre can be made to burn up by laying the poker across It London Outlook. TEA BUGS AND TEA MITES. The? Art the Plaa-oea of the Assam Tea Gardens. Every animal and plaut has its para site, and from this general law, It seems, the tea plant is not exempt Two Insects are described as apeudlng their lives In tea drinking. They are the plague of the Assam tea gardens and are kuowu as the tea bug and tea mite. The mltea spend their entlre.llvea on the tea plant and are never known to attack auy other leaf. They live In families and societies on the upper side of the full grown leaf and spin a delicate web for a shelter. They then puncture the leaves and pump out the liquid in the plant veins. They seem to become very dainty In their tastes, for a sprinkling of mud dy water over their floor and tea table Is the only remedy known to check their ravages. Even this Is not al ways effectual. The tea bug la still more destructive and Is evidently possessed of an ap preciation of the best kinds of tea, since It always attacks those of. a mild and delicate flavor. Such as af ford harsh and raspiug liquors are al most entirely free from its attacks. London Chronicle. Leaving Secnrlty. Johann Sleberlich is by nature aus picious; but, says the Albany Journal, he appreciates a reasonable proposi tion. A traveling butcher came his way one day and bargained with him for eight head of fine cattle. The price being satisfactory, the butcher felt In his pocket and found be bad not brought his wallet "I have not the money with me," he aald, "but I will drive the cattle to town and send the; money back to you." "Neln!" said JoUarru -emphatically. "That goes not gootlYou shouldt bring de moneys first" "Well, I tell you what 111 do," said the butcher frankly. "I'll drive only six of them In, and I'll leave the other two as security for the debt." Johann studied a moment and then bis face lighted. "All right," he said. "Dot Is chust so goet. Ven you leave dose two you baf bought den It Is sure you comes back und pays me." Beards'. A. Brandt, In bis writings on the hu ' man beard, proffers an opinion dlrect i ly opposing that of Darwin that the beard Is a hereditary remnant of anl ' mal growth. According to Brandt, It is an acquisition, so that even the occa sional beard of women has a prophetic significance, for as man has overtaken woman In his whole organization so It Is the case also with reference to the beard. But slowly women are follow ing, and now 10 per cent of them show a stronger growth. The woman - of the distant future would then like wise be adorned with a beard. Die Umschau.

The public Is generally conversant with the annual custom of paying "one red rose" as ground rental In eastern Pennsylvania churches to the descend ants of those who gave the ground far the edifices, but It Is not generally known that hundreds of owners of farms are under a similar obligation, says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib une. "Red rose rent" Is yearly paid every second Sunday In June In the Lutheran church at Mauhelm, Lancaster county; In the Tulpehocken Reformed church, about sixteen miles west of Reading, and In several edifices In Lebanon county, while several congregations In Berks are entitled to observe the event 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 at Mauhelm they have come from many states. It Is known to few that more than 100 years ago great tracts of farm land were sold around Readlug with the same stipulation. It Is estimated that at least 20,000 acres of land In Berks are subject because of a clause In the original deeds to an annual ground rent of one red rose. Records of the Berks courthouse show that many years before Baron Stigel provided for the payment of red rose rent by the church at Manhelm Caspar Wistar sold land containing the same clause. Red rose rent Is mentioned in con nection with land in Tulpehocken, Mar Ion, Maxatawny, Oley and other town ships. It dates back to 1738. The Tulpehocken Reformed church la built on land that Is subject to "one red rose" quit rent. The land waa owned by Caspar Wistar, 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 ob servance was In 1002, when thirty prominent Philadelphia Wistars at tended the services and were paid 157 red roses In payment of arrears of rent. John Tage, described as "a gentle man from IiOndon," was another ex tensive real estate speculator In the early colonial period. He planned to establish a feudal barony along the Tulpehocken In 1735. Every deed of land sold by him contained the red rose clause. r HOW WARRIORS DIED. Grant, who time and again stood untouched amid a hall of bullets, final ly died of cancer. William the Silent survived numer ous conflicts and campaigns, only to be assassinated after he was victori ous. Napoleon, apparently bullet proof and believed by his followers to bear a charmed life, died almost alone of a cancer. Cortes, the conqueror of Mexico, aft er half a lifetime of desperate fighting, died in Spain of typhoid fever, neglect ed and despised by those whom be had benefited. Washington survived the perils of the wilderness, the dangers of Indian warfare, all the bullets and balls of a score of Revolutionary battles and the hardships of a seven years' campaign to be bled to death by his doctors. Lord ;iive, the English conqueror of India, a bold, active warrior, ex posed to death in scores of desperate battles and by several plots, fell a victim after his return to England to the opium habit and committed sui cide.. How Wllllama Got a Gift. In the last century there lived In a western village a gentle old man sub sisting on a meager salary. One day he learued that his brother had died In San Francisco and left him a fortune of many millions. The transition was staggering, especially so since It was followed by a shower of appeals for money from every quarter of the globe and from persons known and unknown to him. His son, who. acted as his secretary, noticed with regret that the father seemed unable to grasp the meaning of his new power and was glad to have him at last evince a little Inter est In- one of his begging letters. It proved to be from Williams college. asking an endowment on the plea that the old man's birthplace was near the Institution. "I'd like to do something for that school," said he meditatively. "Well, I would, father, If I were you," his son encouraged him. T believe I will." The old man'a ar dor kindled. "I believe I'll give them something handsome." "So you should," the son pursues "Why notr "I will. I'll give them"-he thought for a moment "I'll give them $100r Boston Herald. Safer.
