In a baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class at the University of Pennsylvania, Rev. Dr. Jeffreys said: “Let us do good to all men. Do you know that It Is possible to die of selfishness? There was In New York several years ago the very beautiful wife of a multimillionaire. She was surrounded by every luxury, but had never shared any of her wealth with anyone. Despite her surroundings she was constantly in III health, found It difficult to sleep nnd could not eat. She consulted a nerve specialist nnd was given a prescription. On her way home she stopped In a drug store to have the prescription filled, hut the druggist returned It to her with a smile, lie was unable to aid Iter. Site looked at the (taper and found the words: ‘For God's sake, do something for somebody I’ And Hint Is the advice which 1 want to give to you young men as you go out into the world,” concluded Dr. Jeffreys.—Living Church.

The collecting and breeding of fancy goldfish by the tunny people who make it their “hobby” lots never produced a more brilliant result than “Miss’Llberty,” noted during the last few mouths as the f’.sli whose progeny are being eofd to raise funds for a city aquarium. "Miss Liberty” numbers among Iter immediate ancestors a Chinese moor-black, a red-sealed Japanese, and a brown transparent-sealed Japanese goldfish, and accounts in tills way for her own strange appearance.

In ItiK!.
Tills old bridge bad witnessed many strange happenings, but one of the oddest, and certainly the most romantic of them all, was when It served us a tilting ground for two doughty knights of the fourteenth century, John de Wells, a valiant English knight, who was their ambassador In Scotland, had boasted that there was no such cavalier north of the Tweed its the south could produce, and David Lindsay, earl of Crawford, hud picked up the gauntlet the Englishman had thrown down. The duel was arranged for St. George's day, 1300, and the scene of It wns to he, of all places In the world, London bridge. On the day appointed the two gallant champions. John de Wells and I >avld Lindsay, eaelt clad In mail, took up hls position. At the first onslaught the knights met In the center of the bridge with a terrific crush, but though their lances were splintered like matchwood each remained Immovable in bis
saddle.
A second course had a like result, so sturdy and so equally matched were the antagonists; but In the third course the assault of the Scottish knight was so irresistible that De Wells was flung senseless to the
ground.
Such was one out of hundreds of the strange sights old London bridge had looked on before, In 1832, It vanished altogether front a city In which It was evident it had “lagged super-
fluous.”
Somewhat Sarcastic. Senator James A. Watson of Indiana has a story about his first law
case.
It was out in Rttshville, Ind., and tin* youthful attorney was called to defend a fellow-citizen against a bootlegging charge. It was a clear case against Watson's client. The outcome was tin? maximum sentence of $.100 and a year In prison. Next day Watson called upon hls client at the county jail. “I suppose you did all you could for me,” glumly admitted the convicted tnnn. "What Is your charge?” “A hundred dollars,” stated Watson. "That’s a lot of money, ain’t It?" growled the client. "Well, you can’t get an able lawyer for nothing,” he was told. "I suppose If I had hired n halfdozen abb* lawyers like you,” retorted the oonvleted client, "I would hnve pulled a life sentence.”—Washington

Concrete Ships. Tim United Stnt*’« shipping board has ordered discontinued work on a concrete ship building nt Oakland, Cal, and there are those who think that this is the deathknell of the stone vessel as a freight carrier. Nevertheless the construction and navigation of the steamer Faith has proved that such a ship was a structural possibility.

The amount of actual money that changes hands in the United Slates is negligible in proportion to the volume of business transacted, and ampared with business methods in foreign countries. This, unquestionably, is one thing'which has increased the prosperity of this country and brought it to the commanding position it now holds in the world’s affairs To the young business man or farmer, nothing is jmore necessary than the establishment of his credit with a strong, progressive bank, which can help him when he needs it. Consistent, systematic saving will do more to establish that credit than any other one thing. A credit standing with the CENTRAL is a valuable asset to any man.

How (’olds are Contracted.
Colds are due to bacterial germs that are usually present in the air passages of the throat and nos^, of althy persona. Under ordinary con ditions they do no harm hut when you get chilled, very tired or eat too much so as to weaken your resistance they ar e quick to take advantage of it and almost before you know it you have a cold.

l and take It according to the plam printed directions and you will soon be rid of it, but when you neglect it look out. Some of the most serious diseases result from neglected
