Mechanics Lien Ulaiman nts.

Judge Gordon, of Clearheld, has
just handed down an important decis-
ion on the proceeds of a sheriff's sale
of property to mechanics claimants.
He holds that before the auditor is
appointed to distribute the fund de-
rived from the sale, any of the me-
chanics' claims, whether in judgment
or not, can be attacked on the merits
by other lien claimants filed by journ-
eymen, who had no right to file liens,
but judgments were obtained on
SAID liens, and they appeared before
the auditor and claimed pro rata with
other mechanics lien claimants. The
auditor held, however, that testimony
could be introduced to show that the
liens were not valid, and although the
judgments dated from the date when
they were entered, and could not be
attacked except for fraud or collusion,
yet the mechanics liens on which the
sci fas were issued were invalid, and
thai the claimants were not entitled
to share in the fund produced by the
sale until all the valid mechanic liens
had been paid. This point does not
seem ever to have been expressly
ruled on by the Supreme Court in a
case between mechanics lien claim
ants alone.

LIVED WITHOUT A BRAIN
Physicians Puzzled by a Remarkable Case
In Lycoming County.

For long time John BY, who died
recently at Watsonto w, has been
puzzle to the physicians attending hun
BLY,, who was 40 years of age. suffered
with tumor which grew into the very
base of the brain and occasioned
death, it being too deeply imbedded
into the brain tissue to admit Of an
operation.
The autopsy, which was performed
by DR.. Koser, of Wllliamsport was
awaited for developments. 1t was
found that the tumor was nearly as
large as billiard ball and so located
as to demoralize the nerves of the
sight centre, as a consequence of
Which young BLY, had been blind for
over three years. But the most Singh.
lar fact developed was that the entire
brain had been followed out by the
tumor. The cavity was at least five
inches in length, and was filled with
pus. All that was left of the brain
was a thin shell, composed of the
tougher tissues where the brain mat
ter gathers into nerves, which were
less susceptible to the process OF
decay.
When an incision. was made in the
shsll, the whole mass collapsed.
What made the case almost unpre
cedented in the annals OF medical
science was the manner in which the
patient retained his nationality and
faculties under the circumstances. He
had the senses of touch, taste, hearing
and smell, and had very tolerable con.
troll of the locomotor muscles. His
retention of memory was remarkable
he having been able to memorize
poems up to within two weeks OF his
death. The case is one of great
scientific importance, and will be
technically described, forming the
theme fer discussion in medical
journals

Butter-nialSing Test.

The -Friesian Association,
having offered a prize of $1,000 for au-
,hcnticatod records of the production of
cows of that breed the prize list
brought thirty-fve cows into competi-
tion that were officially tested. OF this
number ten were two-year-old heifers,
ten were three and four years old, and
fifteen were from five to eleven years
old. The kind of food and amount con-
sumed, and other matters connected
y,ita the test, were carefully noted, the
calculations of the cost being based on
the actual value of the food when pur-
chased The butter should have been
credited to the cows at the value OF
forty cents per pound, being the same
as the price fixed upon during the test
at the Chicago Exposition. where sixty
four cows competed, forty-seven OF
which had but recently calved, but in
this test the price of the butter Is
placed at twenty-five cents per pound,
which is about the actual market value
on an average.
The yield of milk In one week ranged
from about 3l6 to 6S2 pounds. AS 1t is
usual to estimate about two pounds OF
milk for one quart. the yield is from
d
quarts per day, for seven days, for the
highest yield, the production OF butter
for the same period being from fifteen
to over twenty-five pounds. The cost
of the food was from a fraction less
than 81 to S2.S5, one COW, however, con-
suming food to the value of 1892 The
value of the butter and SKINNED milk
varied from a fraction over So to about
10 g 4
to nearly 50, at forty cents per pound
for butter and from 81 to $3.50 with
butter at twenty-five rents per pound.
sThe total production of milk Tor ths
seven days. for twenty-five cows, was
11,2i2 pounds, or over siXty-four pounds
per day. and the total production of
butter for the week was 1868, an aver
age of 1887 pounds or 2SS pounds for
each COW, per day. The value or the
food consumed by the twenty-five COWS
for one pound of butter was 1898 cents,
and the average net profit was hfty-
one cents, with butter at twenty-five
cents per pound.
The tests demonstrate that the use of
the proper breed for the dairy is the
key to success. In the face of the facts
given above, in which it is shown that
twenty-five cows gave more milk IN
one day than the same number of or
binary cows would in half week, and,
also, produced more butter in that time
than could be secured from four COM
mon COWS, is evidence that the farmer
who makes milk and butter his special
ties is feeding three or four times as
many cows as he should in order to de-
rive the same products that are pos
sible from a pure-bred COW that has
been bred strictly in the line for large
yields of milk and unusual production
of butter, without considering the ad-
ditional expense of extra stalls, build
ings and labor required in the manage
ment of more cows than are really
necessary.

Rights of Wheelmen.

Anent the "rights of wheelmen." +"
of which one hears SO much lately.
the following ruling by Judge Cooley,
OF Michigan, may be interesting
This jurist says:
l. Municipal corporations or cities
are liable to blcyclist for injuries in
Cured by reason of defective roads,
!. e. unguarded embankment, a deep
rut, large stone, provided he is ont
guilty OF contrlbutory negligence. A
city is under no special obligation to
wheemen, and the defect must be
such as to cause injury to vehicles in
general. A bicyclist injured while
riding on Sunday for pleasure or bust
ness cannot recover damages in states
where Sunday laws are in force.
2. \ wheelman has a right of action
against the driver or owner of We.
hicle, who wilfully or neglgently
causes a collision or damage to his
wheel while left standing by the street
curb or roadside; it is the duty of the
wheelman, however, to avert the col
lision, if possible, and he cannot
recover damages if his own negligence
is the proximate cause of the injury
complained of.
8. A traveller riding on the left-hand
side of the road probably assumes all
risks and is prima facie guilty of neg
ligence.
4. Vehicles going in the same di-
rection the hindermost may pass on
either side.
s. Sidewalks are exclusively for
foot passengers, but foot passenger
has a right to walk in the highway,
and he is entitled to cross the street
where he may elect, but is guilty of
negligence if he attempts to cross
ahead of a vehicle And the fact
that vehicle is on the wrong side of
the road is no evidence of negligence
/ in action for injury to a pedestrian.
6. a bicycle employing an lmmod-
crate rate Of speed on a highway or
street may be liable civily or Grim
inally in cases of accident If he
recklessly runs his wheel against a
pedestrian, he is liable for assault and
battery Recklessness will sometimes
supply the place of criminal intent,
and if bicyclist kills a human being
while going at dangerous speed he
may be convicted of manslaughter.

A Headache Plaster.

Here is headache plaster given by
the Cincinnati Enquirer when
the beating, humping sensation
begins in the head take equal quaint
ties of pure cayenne pepper and flour;
mix them up with water to form
smooth paste thick enough to spread
like salve. Put this upon a piece
of soft paper and apply it to the back
of the neck just below the edge OF
the hair. In warm weather it is best
to wash the neck with a cloth wet
with soap and water, as the oily perspi-
ration may interfere with the action
of the plaster. One great advantage
of cayenne pepper plaster over mus
tard is that while the latter frequent
ly blisters the former never does SO,
no matter how strong it is applied.
In the use Of mustard, if the skin is
broken all treatment must cease
until it heals but with pepper, when
the plaster loses its effect another
may be applied without unpleasant
consequences.

Prof. Nocard. of the veterinary school
at Alfort, France. has Just published
an exhaustive and authoritative work
on tuberculosis in all domestic animals.
He values tuberculin highly as dag
nostic. but considers that treatment or
the disease in animals is IN an expert
mental stage.
At the late veterinary congress at
Buda-Pesth. DR.. Bang reported per
cent of post-mortems falling to con-
firm the tuberculn diagnosis in 300
cases; some diseased animals failed to
respond to the test, even If repeated
after a year. Hess. of Berne, declared
tuberculin attended with danger to
health of CATTLE the worst objection to
its use is it's tendency to produce fresh
occurrences of disease of an acute type.
while otherwise it would remain latent
in chalky centres; in advanced disease
the test Is not reliable. Nocard and
Bang replied that tuberculin was harm-
less, or nearly so. But Bang does not
advise the slaughter of slightly tubcr-
culous cows, as they may recover; he
has often found small and perfectly
calciied tubercles in aged cows. The
calf is always born healthy when the
COW is but slightly affected, and he
would permit such COWS to breed.
DIR. Jonathan Wright, of Brooklyn, in
a paper to the American Laryngologi-
cal Association, criticised the high
contagionists, referred to milk-fed chill
dren of the well-to-do, who don't have
tuberculosis, while poor children who
can't get milk are consumptive; he be-
lleved danger of infection from this or
other sources of baclli was exagger-
ated, and that autopsies of human bod
les frequently show indications of con-
sumption that has been wholly recov-
cred from. I
