Big Prices Paid for Well-Brejl Stock —Buyers  JYom a  Distance.
Almost twelve thousand dollars was realized last Wednesday in the sale of the flne herd of registered Holstein cattle bred at the Home Fam' at Centre Valley, Lehigh County, good pricea and spirited bidding by a large crowd of repre¬ sentative breeders marking the sale.
The sale marks the retirement by the management of tlie Mennonite Brethren in Christ Orphanage and Home from the business of breeding flne stock, after eight year of highly profitable work, due entirely to Ill¬ ness of the principal people in charge.
Beginning eight years ago with the wonderful bull Golden Segis De- Kol Korndyke, the management built up one of the finest herds in the country from which thousands of dollars worth of registered stock was sold, while splendid profits were realized from the production of the herd outside of tbe sale of registered stock.
At the sale this flne old bull was sold to Allen M. Gehman, of Macun gle, while the junior herd sire, the noted Allaniuch Fayne Hengerveld Hartog was bought by Hon. W.' M. Beninger, of Benlngers, breeder and showman and president of the State Holstein  Breeders'  Association.
The total sum realized by the sale was $11,585, all but one heifer calf which had taken ill suddenly being sold.
Irvin H. Meyers, of Dolyestown, was the principal buyer, buying nine females for $3070 or an average of $314.11 per head. A. C. Smedley, of Wilmington, Del., bought four fe¬ males at $1080 or an average of $270. H. C. Baker, of Centre Square, bought four head at $1190 or an average of $295.
The Good Shepherd Home, of Al¬ lentown, laid the foundation for a fine herd with the purchase of throe groun:! breeding animals, secured at bargains, on an average of ?lfi,'i.
The highest priced cow was pur¬ chased by C. W. Bray, of Bridge¬ port, Tor .$500, being Annie Segis de Kol  Korndyke, a two year old.

Benefits of Water. In the New York Medical Record Dr. 8. A. Knopf of New York advocates a liberal use of water in the prevention and cure of tuberculoHis. He iidviinee.s a plea for puhlic bntlis for uld und young and also for suiniiuiiig pijols in connection with the schools, lie holds tliat a glass of clear, cool water taken half an hour before ukniIh is llie' best apiietizer nnd stimulant for the gastrlr secretions and that this Is a gospel to be spread aad practiced a HI tie more freely by the medical iirofession. He says: "The money a uniiiiciinility In¬ vests In public baths, tloating baths, seaside batiis aud swimming |>o(ds will give splendid returns in the saving of lives, directly and indirectly—indirect¬ ly, by making people clean physically and morally, by preventing disease through the cultivation of cleanliness nnd by* making the people more vigor¬ ous and thus resistant to the invasion of disease; directly, by teiiclilng every future citizen, man or womnn, how to Bwlm and to save bis life In the event of accident."
Garlic.
Garlic Is one of the most wholesome herbs that cun be eaten.
It stimulates all secretions, and its effect is strong upon the liver and kid¬ neys.
A teaspoonful of garlic juice and sug¬ ar wlll generally ward off an oncoming cold.
Garlic eaters have good skins, for garlic Is excellent in treating eruptions of all sorts.
Tho.se races thi't use much garlic in their food are those thnt are least sus¬ ceptible to tuberculosis. .Many doctors ill Europe treat tuberculosis with gar¬ lic, giving It internally in the form of a sirup, externally in the form of poul¬ tices or making their patients inhale an Infusion,
The essential principle of garlic, that which acts upon the system, l.s allyl sulphide. This also causes the charac¬ teristic una to uiai.y iieisons disagree¬ able .smell.    .Vew York World.
Sickness In Metals. Metals. Uke Iiuman beings, suffer a coniiition wliich may be termed "dis¬ ease." .Morbid changes, so to sjieak, occur in the pieces of nietul ome in awhile, aud frequenlly these conililioiis are beyond control. Scientists are ut a loss to e.xiilaiii e.xactly what It is that causes a perfectly sound appearln.,' piece of metal to change its structural strength when not under apparent pressure or action of either niechanlcal. Iiliysical or cliemical character. Deli- (deiicles ill nietul nre often overconu? by getting u happy inedluiu between sulhcicnt iiressure to cause the metal to How uuit'uinily and a jiressure not so great that it will cause complete ru|)ture. But these ure me<liaiiical cliuiiges. The other changes might be called imtholotrlc.'il. 'Ihc illness of a pieci.' of metal often continues progres¬ sively and ends seriously.—New York World.
The Mattress. Some one has lieen hunting up the history of the mattress.. Its beginning was the collection of rags, husks or reeds which were boniul together and thrown anywhere to form a restln;: place for the hinds und serfs of thc rich. It is sugu'ested that their n:ime'< of shakedown and iiiukeshiff were <le- rived originally froiii tlic Arabic word "mutrah." In the middle ages fe.iilier beds fmind favor witli the wealthy and the mattress wns not used by them. Inventories of estates owned by the .Vmerican colonists show thut mattresses were then worth .*2<in each, being made of hair. In England mat¬ tresses of rabbits" liair were om e nsed. and vegetable fiber'- of various kinds have served their turn.

YOU'RE mighty careful about the water you drink— and so you should be. You want to know where it comes from and the probability of its purity. If you have any doubt whatever of its purity, you will not drink it, because you realize the danger of it being infected with bacteria.    That's showing your good common sense.
Suppose you apply this same common sense when buying kerosene. What's the sense of paying for a poor quality kerosene when you can buy the fees^and pay no more for it?

The "B.Tsin" of an Apple. One end of the apple bears the name of "basin" and contuins the remnunts of the blossom, sometiines callcil the eye of the fruit This part of the ap pie is dee]) in .some varieties and shal¬ low and open In others. This is the weakest point in the whole apple as concerns the nucstion of the keepin.g quality of the fruit. If the basin is shallow nnd the canal to the core tirm¬ ly closed there Is much less likelihood of the fruit decaying than when It is deep, and the evident opening connects the center of the fruit with the sur¬ face.

Tot   Uiin Over  by   .Vuto.
Toddling across the road directly ill front of the autoruobilo of A. F., Ackerman, of Ml. Bethel, James Litz, the 4-year-old son of Harry Litz, was run down and run over by the car on Wednesday afternoon. Only the fact that the automobile was being driven at a moderate rate of speed saved the life of the boy.
The little tot was playing about the front of the houae, when he ran out into the road and ju.st as the car (;ame along made a dash to cross di¬ rectly in front of it. Although Mr. .-Vckerman, who was driving, made efforts to stop his car, it is thought both wheels passed over the waist of tho boy.
The man stopped at once, and af¬ ter informing the parents, took him to the General Hospital, at East Stroudsburg.
It was discovered that the boy was suffering from a severe bruise over the eyes, his legs -were scratched badly. A steady bleeding at one of his ears gave rise to the belief that he was suffering from a fratcure of the skull, although an examination revealed nothing of that nature.
