 DEAFNESS FROM SMOKING. Chewing is much less liable to cause these troubles than smoking, because the tobacco smoke comes i'll contact with q much larger sur face than the saliva impregnated with to- bacco. Cigarette smoking is..most injuri ous, because the smoke is so often blown through the nose, and at the same time enters the eHstachian tube. The tobacco smoke is laden with fine particles, whicl gain access to the middle ear and irritatt admit of actual demonstration, it is ren 1 dered highly probable by the fact tha disturbances of the taste and smell are m occasionally produced in this manner and are frequently observed in habitua smokers. The long continuance of sucl an irritation gives rise to $ chronic infiam nation of the middle ear.

Many busy hands were engaged during the day arrang- ing flowers of every shade and color around the altar and pulpit, and long before the appointed time, the church was filled, every seat and every foot of standing room being occupied. At eight o'clock, the rear of the crowd fell back, and thirty young ladies from the high school, dressed in white, marched down through the centre aisle, followed by the bridal party. Tue young ladies from the school were conduct ed by the usher, Mr. Frank Reeves, to re- served seats in front the bridal party ad- vanced to the altar, where the ceremony was performed by Rev. F. D. Mather,
 pastor of the church. The brides maids
 were Miss Mary Peter, Miss Mattie Reed, and the Misses May and Bell Topliff. Ali ter the ceremony, the party retired to the house of G. l.. Topliff, and received con- gratnlations from many of their intimate friends. Their new and elegant house stands in beautiful spot near the centre of the town, surrounded by cypress hedge and evergreen trees, and will be ready for the occupants in few days, when the inevitable flower garden will he added.

An ounce of prevention worth pound of cure" is an old adage, but true. In view of predictions that this country is liable to be visited by more than an ordinary amount of contagious diseases this year, it behooves all to inquire about and practice every sanitary measure, especially cleanliness, which, as a preventative, offers one some means of escape at least; and in this how important the arti- cle of soap as to quality fit for use; certainly alll inferior grades, made so by foreign sub- stances and adulterations of questionable character, should be rejected that there may be no taint left on the person or clothes which might in any way invite the germs of these various diseases. A first class article, made by known reliable manufacturers, is the only kind that can be safely used or rec. commended. In the use of standard soap, like the Welcome, made by Curtis Davis X Co.,, there can be no risk, being the goods ot a firm whose name on soap is Q sufficient guarantee of its purity.
