DRINKING WATER.
How Mneh We should Drink De-
peEds Upon Cfrcuurstanc nces

peEQS upon C1rcuueStan ncea.
According to Professor Allen, says the
Medical Times, we should drink from
one-third to two-fifths as many ounces
as we weigh in pounds. Therefore, for a
man weighing 1853 pounds, there should
be required fifty-six to sixty-four ounces
daily, or from one and one-half to four
pints.
This the Journal of Hygiene, regards
as very indefinite answer The guam
tity of water required depends on the sea-
son of the year, the amount of work done
and the kind of food eaten. In hot
weather we require more than in cold
because of the greater loss through the
skin. though this is in part made up by
the lesser quantity passed away through
the kidneys. If q man labors very hard.

4 MIn1cUL0Us escape.
Freddie Yetter Knocked Down by an File
trlc Car but Is Only SIi,htly f.ruissd

Freddie Yetter Knocked Down by an Flee
trIc Car but is Only Slightly Bruised.
An almost miraculous escape from
death was had by Freddie ietter, tho
10-years old son Of Charles Yetter, last
Friday night about 8. 30 o clock.
The little fellow was playing with a
number of companions on Market street,
between Third and Fourth, and in
trying to elude one of his playmates
darted across the street in front OF
electric car No. GO, which was coming
down town.
The motorman OF the car applied the
brakes, but the grade there is SO steep
aud the car had such momentum that
it was impossible to stop the car aud
the boy was struck and knocked down.
He was dragged several feet by the
wooden fender and then slipped and
apparently rolled under the front
Wheels. The car was then brought to
a stop. Market street was crowded at
tho time and willing hands lifted the
car from the track, and the apparently
lifeless body Of the boy was dragged
from beneath the car and carried to
his home, No. II East Fourth street, 10y
Officer John Ford. Here the boy soon
recovered consciousness and an ex.
animation by DIR. Emil Hertel showed
that he was only slightly bruised.

IDjunctlon Granted Against Cecil County
ArricuItiiral SoniatY.

Elkton, Nd, Aprils From tho
present outlook 1t would appear that
there will be some trouble over the
spring meeting at this place. This
morning an interesting case was
brought up in the circuit court before
Judge Russum, involving the running
of races on tho Cecil County Agficul-
tural grounds in Elkton. Argument
was heard in the case of q. A. Muller
ard Charles ii. Bower OF Philadelphia,
vs.. the Ceeil County Agricultural
Society, in which it was agreed that
Burns, who assigned his rights TO the
plaintiffs, should have exclusive privi-
lege of making books and selling pools
on the races at its fair at Elkton, on
September sth, 9th, 10th aud 1lth last,
in consideration of 81, 500.
On September Sth, 1896, The plain
tiffs rendered the Agricultural Society
81, 500, which it refused to accept, and
gave notice to Muller and Bower that
it would not allow them to make books
and sell pools on the races at the fair.
The association allowed the other par
ties TO do so to the exclusion of Muller
and Bower, for which they claim
100000 damages. 1t is also CLAIMED
that, by an agreement dated April
l4th, 1896, the plaintiffs were to have
an option TO use the grounds and build.
ings for a period of &c days in the
spring OF 1897 at a rental value of
50, 600, provided said option expired on
the LIST day of April, 1897.

an injunction restraining the agricul-
tural society from occupying or using,
either directly or indirectly, the grounds
during the period from April lst to
July LIST until Muller and Bower had
first occupied and held races on the
track for 26 days this spring.
