Some Causes of deafness.

DR.. Francis Bowling, in paper which he
read at a recent meeting OF the Cincinnati
Academy of Medicine, stated that ''between
the ages of 10 and 40 at least one person in
three is subject to partial deafness The
great majority of cases of impaired hearing
date from childhood and it's diseases. At
least one-fifth of the cases Of impaired hear
ing are hereditary, and are largely owing to
too close consanguinity of the parents.
Deafness is more prevalent among males than
among females, owing to the fact that the
male is more exposed to the vicissitudes Of
climate. There is much more deafness in
America than in Europe, and this is due to a
more general use of scientific instruments,
such as telephones, where one ear is used TO
the exclusion of the other."- Philadelphia

STAUNTON, VIRGINIA, ANIL TO- io9o
KNEELING AT THE THRESHOLD.

I'm kneellg at the threshold, weary, faint and
sore,
Waiting for the dawning, for the opening Of the
door
Waiting till the Master shall bid rise and come
To the glory of his presence to the gladness Of
his home
A weary path I've travelled mid darkness, storm
and strife
Bearing many a burden, struggling for my life;
But now the morn is breaking; my toll will soon
be DER;
I'm kneeling at the threshold; my hand is on the
door,
Methinks hear the voices of the blessed as they
stand
Singing in the sunshine of the far off sness land.
would that were with them amid the shining
throng,
1Ingling in their worship, joining in their song.
The friends that started with me have entered
long ago;
One by one they left me struggling with the foe;
Their pilgrimage was shorter, their triumph
sooner won;
How lovingly they'll hail me when all my toll is
donel
With them the blessed angels that know no grief
OF sin;
I see them by the portals prepared to let me in.
o Lord, want thy pleasure; thy time and way
are best;
But I'm wasted, worn and weary; Father, bid
me rest

he had won the battle of tho Nile, and
Lady Charles comes in for goodly
share of public notice and attention.
LADY CUEZON.
-Four champing black horses, har-
messed to coach with rcd body and
red running gear, have attracted a good
deal of attention, not only because Of
their loolis-they belong to Baron de
Hirsh, the millionaire and cost $40, 600
but because they are driven by q
lady.
She who handles the team in such
scientific style is Lady Curzon, wife Of
Lord Curzon, the eldest son OF one of
the richest men in England. Lady Cur
zon was, before her marriage. Lady
Georgiana Churchill. the youngest
daughter but one of tho last Duke Of
Marlborough and, therefore, the sister of
tho present.
When the present Duke of Portland
came into his estates and power he, it

height, and that alone attracts atten-
ton. Sho is fair, and has naughty,
rather overbearing look which stamps
her as somebody" wherever she
may be.
She is the daughter of the Earl of
Westmoreland, and is therefore cor
nectcd with every noble house in En-
gland. Her fair complexion and fair
hair como to her from her mother, who
is extremely blonde.
MISS VIOLET LANE FOX.
Another beauty who is celebrated and
Is about to join tho ranks of married
women is Miss Violet Lane Fox, n tall,
pretty girl with a lovely figure. Miss
Lane Fox has for years been the object
of persecution by man whose adj
dresses She refused, and who has per-
sisted in annoying her by l1neeling be-
fore her in Hyde Park, ballroom or in
any public place he met her. Several
times he has been chastised for his in
suits. He has at last been put in du-
rance vile. and by tho time he comes
out will find Miss Lane Fox is married
and has Il stalwart protector.
Her sister, Lady Marlborough. is also
beauty. and is tall and slender, rather
in the Lady Dudley style. Sho is not
strong, but is to be seen at all tho large
entertainments in London beautifully
dressed and looking the Countess to
perfection.

not been q great one.
Lady Cranky is rather peculiar in ap-
pearance, but has very interesting and
taking face. She rather resembles Miss
Terry in some ways, and IS very fragile,
and deficate-looking. She can, how,
ever. stand any amount o. fatigue, and
is seen at all the smart balls and parties;
in tho season, and has qraced tho box
seat OF several coaches at tho different
meets this year.
MISS EDITH LANE FOX.
Curiously enough, one Of the best
looking and most admired girls in Lon
don this season was cousin of Lady
Marlborough, Miss Edith Lane Fox. She
has hair Venetian red in hue. and tall,
slim figure with deep, dark. liquid eyes
that thrill the gazer. She has the repu-
tation of having worn out three chap
erons in one season and looked mono the
worse for it.
She is seen at all the best houses and
entertainments in London, her looks
being such as to make her always the
center of an admiring coterie, while her
sharp tongue has made her plenty Of
enomies. who say, it is alleged, that she
is inclined to be rather fast However,
be that as it may, she is one Of the best
known and most admired women in
London.
LADY CYNTHIA DUNCOMBE.
Another lady who is admirably suited
to belong to the ranks of wcll-known
young women in London is Lady Gym
thia Duncombe, the second daughter of
the Earl Of Faversham and sister of tho
beautiful Duchess of Lcinster, whose
reputation for good looks extends over
tho whole of Europe and America. She
is much taller than the Duchess and has
all her fascinating manners and ways.
She will shortly be married to Sir
Edgar Vincent, who at one time was en-

whose pictures can be socn on all sides.
Take Il picture of one of these in the
around it and you will discover that
there is good deal in q name, after all.
How much moro prominent, therefore,
will q woman be who has Il name and a
claim to good looks as we'll, and yet
does not owe her name to her looks
alone.
One of the foremost of those seen in
the Row, in the royal inclosuro at AS
cot, at the garden parties at Marlbor-
ough House, in the smartest drawing
rooms. in fact everywhere that the chic
set do congregate. is Lady Carew. She
is very tall and has handsome and
rather prominent features, and is goner-
ally accompanied by her sister, Miss
Lethbridge.
Both sisters dress much alike, vary
only perhaps in Il little color. and both
wear rather bright clothes, which are
tho more distinguishable from the wear
ers station. which is quito equal to that
of Lady de Grey, better known as Lady
Lonsdale.
Lady Carew is the wife Of Baron Carew,
and is deservodly great favorite with
her unole's tenants.
Another woman who has a name as
we'll as looks is Lady Charles Beresford.

her notoriety from tho reflected glory
of her husband, who is one OF the most

SAVED BY A PROOF READER.
What Might Have Appeared In a
Western NeWSpaper,

w cSCSIu newspaper
In certain Western newspaper office
the gentleman whose business is re-
cord the fluctuations of the live stock
marcket Sits across from the young
man to whose lot it falls to report we'd
ding ceremonies. Both are graphic
writer's and enjoy that latitude of ex-
press OH characteristic of Western jour-
nalism. Both use the same kind of
paper, and their penmanship is not I'M
like.
Not long ago the wedding reporter
was suddenly called out of the office
and left in the middle of the table sew
eral sheets of paper on which was de-
scription of fashionable wedding I.
These sheets were gathered up by the
| live stock writer when:he finished his re-
| port, and the two stories became mixed.
This is what the jealous care of a proof
| reader, later IN the evening, saved from
| reaching the public eye:
1.-THE church was deliberately decorat-
ed with holly and evergreen, and the
altar was hidden IN wealth of flowers.
| Out OF the recesSes rose rare tropical
| plants, and from the ceiling hung fif-
teen Western vealS, which at this time
of the year are scarce and correspond
ingly dear at 6@s1Sc per Id. There was
also an active demand for choice lambs,
and farmers east Of the Mississippi
river can profitably turn to sheep-rais-
ing and take the bride, who wore a
gown of white corded silk, a creation of
Worth's, with pearl ornaments.
| "Then came the maid of honor, the
cousin of the bride, Miss Henrietta
| Blower, of Chicago, wearing dress Of
white tulle, with diamond ornaments,
and she was followed by small bunch
of Montana sheep, which bleated most
piteously as they were driven on board
and shipped to the winter hotels in Ber-
muda. They will there be cut en- traine
and slightly decollete, and after the rest
of the party had reached the rail the
minister turned and said -impressively:
4 cannot bid more than six and half
cents for state veals, but cablegrams
from London quote refrigerated beef at
price that will enable me to pay ST.
for car of choice Indiana beeves,' and,
hearing this, there was rush for the
young married couple, and the bride
fell into the arms of her father, who is
known to bear striking resemblance
to-a Connecticut OK Weighing 1,S75

upward turn, and the guests, who num-
bered about 200. were served with a

TRUNK LINES ARE FIRM.
They Will Stick to the New Bill of
IadinQ.


Iading.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE meeting of
the joint committee of the Trunk Line
association and the Central Traffic as
ISOLATION, adjourned to-day to recon-
vene at Chicago, Aug. IA. All pending
questions were deferred until that time.
Chairman Blanchard said the meeting
was entirely harmonious, and that the
poStponement was had in order to OBJ
tain additional information upon points
under discussion, and also to enable the
representatives of the lake and rail lines
to be present. A communication was
received from the convention of COM
mercial associations at Chicago request
ing that the use of the uniform bill of
lading adopted by the committe be de-
ferred until conference can be had be-
tween committees of the commercial as
ISOLATION and the carriers to agree
upon a different form of bill of lad
ing. To this reply was sent by Chair
man Blanchard in which he says that the
joint committee have carefully con-
Sidered the request and that it is their
opinion that it would not be wise either
In the interest of the shippers or the
carriers to withdraw the new uniform
bill of lading from use, but suggests
that the convention appoint commit
tee to meet committee appointed by
the joint committee to consider amend
ments or complaints in regard to the
uniform bill of lading.
