Last Saturday evening a Ford car from State College and a Chevrolet driven by Walter Johnson, of this place, collided near the A. C. Kepler farm. The accident happened during a hard downpour of rain which so be- fogged the windshield that the driv- ers were unable to see. None of the occupants of the two cars were badly hurt. The Ford was upset and one front wheel and front axle were twist- ed. The Chevrolet got the worst of the deal, one wheel being wrecked and ik front part of the car badly dam- aged. ORVISTON. Miss Olive Walker, who has been ill with a bad cold, is able to be about again. Helen, baby daughter of Hensy! Young, has been quite ill, but is im- proving now. Mrs. Hannah Mayes returned to her home in Clarence, after a very pleasant visit among Orviston friends. Atwood Wellers is off on a sick spell this week.

Mrs. William Lucas and children, Celia and George, have returned from a two week’s visit with Mrs. Lucas’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Williams, of Howard. Mr. Williams has been in poor health for several years and his condition causes his family much anxiety, as there seems to be little re- lief for him. Hensyl Young has purchased the fine young horse formerly owned by Philip Deitz. His brother, Boyd Young, has brought his nice black horse from Romola and the boys are now enjoying the pleasant weather driving around. As they are not selfish, all the little kids are having their share of fun also. The ladies of the Orviston church have once more held their Children’s day service. Some of the youngsters are to be complimented, as they cer- tainly deserve credit for the clever rendering of their parts. The writer was unable to obtain a program, so cannot give the list. Special praise should be given Misses Thelma Nel- son and Marian Daley, their duet be- ing excellent; Miss Nelson, soprano, and Miss Daley, alto. » LEMONT. We had a fine rain Sunday.

Oscar Rishel, of Boalsburg, who re- turned from France on Memorial day, spent Sunday at the home of his un- cle, William Rishel, near town. He looks fine. The Children’s day services held in the United Brethren church at Hous- erville, Sunday evening, were quite a success, but the electric light went out before the program was com- pleted. Last Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Henry Knapp were rather agreeably surprised when the following neigh- bors and friends quietly came to their home: Mr. and Mrs. John Shuey and daughter Helen, Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Gearhart and son Russell and daugh- ter Mary, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Jones, Mr. and Mrs. G.

In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. HINTS ON HOW TO BE YOUR OWN WEATHER PROPHET. Adam may or may not have tried his hand at weather prediction, but it is written that as far back as the time of Noah that gentleman prophe- sied a long, wet spell, and, unlike al lot of later weather-prophets, he had | such faith in his own prognostications | that he took measures to meet the sit- | uation. Further than that, subse- quent events proved that Noah was a 100 per cent. prophet. Many of his successors, however, showing a lower batting average, it became increasing- ly apparent as time went on that in view of the frequency with which the prognostications failed, the subject should be placed on a scientific basis in order to obtain accuracy in the re- sults, or at least to spread a sort of halo of learning and philosophy about it, and thus minimize the curse, as it were, of possible errors. So weather bureaus were instituted, which same have been in more or less successful operation now for many years, with attendants on the government pay- roll, and everything. Entirely apart from scientific weather observations, however, home-made weather-fore- casting has persisted as a pleasing pastime all these years, and on this very day there is a set of rules gov- erning it, more or less recognized by all amateur weather-prophets. For the benefit of those who may be unfa- miliar with these rules the New York Sun has obligingly made a compila- tion of them and they are set forth as follows: When standing on high ground and the horizon is unobstructed from all quarters, if the sky is absolutely cloudless, look for a storm within for- ty-eight hours. If it starts to rain after seven o’clock in the morning it will contin- ue to do so all day, and very often it is the indication of a three days’ rain. When it is raining and it brightens and darkens alternately you can count on an all-day rain, with a chance of clearing at sundown. When the rain ceases and the clouds are still massed in heavy blan- kets one sure sign of clear weather is the patch of blue sky that shows through the rift large enough to make a pair of “sailor’s breeches.” Another sign of continued rain is when the smoke from the chimney hovers low around the housetops. When it ascends straight into the air this indicates clearing weather. A foggy morning is usually the forerunner of a clear afternoon. A thunder storm in winter (usual- ly in January or February) is always followed by clear, cold weather. It is not, as many think, the breaking up of winter. People living near the seashore say a storm is “brewing” when the air is salty, caused by the wind blowing from the east. A red or copper-colored sun or moon indicates great heat. A silvery moon denotes clear, cool weather. The old Indian sign of a dry month was when the ends of the new moon were nearly horizontal and one of them resembled a hook on which the Indian could hang his powder-horn. Many people troubled with rheuma- tism and neuralgia usually are excel- lent barometers and can predict changeable weather by “feeling it in their bones.” And the advice of the old weather- sage is “never go out during the April month being unaccompanied by your umbrella.” And then, for the special benefit of those who never can remember any- thing they read in prose, but do have a faculty for retaining jingles, the following important formulas are set out in verse: Red in the morning the sailor's warning; Red at night the sailor's delight. When you see a mackerel sky, Twill not be many hours dry. When the seagulls inland fly Know ye that a storm is nigh. A ring around the moon Means a storm is coming soon. When it rains before seven "Twill clear before eleven. BL mm m————_—————————— Economy of the Ant. Man keeps cows and chickens and considers himself pretty highly civil- ized, but in this respect the human race is not more advanced than the ordinary ant. There is a tiny insect known as the aphis, which when prop- erly nourished, gives off honeydew just as a Jersey cow gives good, rich milk. The ant dearly loves his honeydew, and so he imprisons the aphis in his a sort of digester after his ordinary diet. The aphis, which bears, with re- lation to the ant, the same ration of intelligence as the cow does to man, doesn’t seem to mind being imprison- ed at all, just so long as the ant bur- rows holes along succulent roots for the aphis to feed. upon. The corn root aphis is one of the worst enemies the farmer has, for he feeds on roots of the new corn. course the farmer must not blame the aphis for this, but lay the blame on the ant, who cares for the aphis and sees that he gets to the corn roots to feed upon. The farmer’s only course is to get rid of the ants, in his new cornfield.—St. Joseph Gazette. A —— Here at Home BELLEFONTE CITIZENS GLADLY TESTIFY AND CONFIDL'NTLY RECOMMEND DOAN’S KID- NEY PILLS.

NEVER FELT RBRETTER IN MY LIFE. Than After Taking Goldine, Said A. F. Pickett, of Bemus Point. I doctored with an old Indian doc- tor, Rolling Thunder, twenty years ago and he put me in good shape at that time. After several years had passed I again had trouble 2nd tried many things, but Goldine is the first medicine that has done me any good since I took the herbs of old Rolling Thunder. I was so weak I couldn’t do my work. I couldn’t get a good hour’s sleep all night long, I couldn’ eat, I was bloating, belching up my food, had the heart burn and was in very bad shape. When I started on Goldine I couldn’t do my own farm chores, now I can work hard all day long, sleep good all night. Now I get up feeling fine as a fiddle, I have an appetite that I can eat anything; I have never felt better in my whole life, and Goldine has done it all. Not one medicine for everything, but the following medicines for the various troubles. GOLDINE for stomach, neart, nerves, indigestion, physical decline, to build up. GOLDINE ALTERAC is used for kidney, liver, bladder, blood, rheuma- tism, skin diseases, bed wetting, puri- fy the entire system.
