A Bundle of RIundsrs.

Don't say that cleanliness Is next to godllness." statement which would be untrue if it were not unmeanlng. If you must gnuge the value of this excellent quality quote the original correctly and say that cleanliness is next to goodliness. meaning thereby that where this is lacking. a clean a7d we'll kept person has an attraction and eomellness only second to actual beauty.
 Never talk of ''the worst coming to the worst" an impossible occurrence, since it is already there. The worse may come to the worst. as. alas. 1t of- ten does. but when the worst has come there Is no more to be said.
 Please do not speak of your mutual friend" If A is q friend of B and c, A is not a mutual but . common friend.
 But. above alL if you would bs blameless never talk of common sense" as though It were or could be al exceptional or rare possession of a favored few. Common sense Is the sense common to all. which long may ve all enjoy.

BIG GUNS OF THE NAVY.
Serious Effects of conoussion on ths
 Nervous System.

, Serious Effects of concussion on tho Nervous System.
 "The imminent danger" says Sur geon General Rixey, "of the serious and in measure preventable acci- dent, rupture of the eardrums, de mands consideration in preparation for target practice or battle, and ev- cry man should be compelled to em. ploy plcdgets of cotton or worthy substitute for filling the auditory orl- fees. The necessity of compulsion in matter so rational may be surprising. but the fact Is neither officers nor men take kindly to the use of such artificial protection, though the practice is more universal that 1t was few years ago. Many of the gun crews in the navy suffer from deafness of variable dura- tion after target practice, and in a severe naval action it is probable that the impact of suddenly compressed air or repeated violent air vibrations consequent upon big gun fire and the bursting of the enemy's shells would produce not only deafness Temporary or permanent among the personnel of the ships. but also dazed mental condition, which is q recognized result that would have the effect of physical disa blement There is a difference in the effects of mere noise, per SC, and the shock of concussion, for 1t is said that when it is expected the ear mar velously accommodates itself in ad- vance and the concussion is more or less discounted. But when the ear or brain is not fOrewarned the danger of serious and extensive damage is more imminent For example experience has shown that men are never so much affected by their own guns as by a gun fired suddenly without their knowledge. The time has come when careless disregard of the effects of gun fire upon the hearing and upon the nervous system, through the ear, should be condemned by the authori- ties. There is no cure for established gun deafness, and no power on earth can restore q shattered auditory nerve. Prevention can alone deal with it, and the medical bureau hopes that some action may be taken by the navy de- pertinent. The bureau has been mak- ing some study of the various expedi- ents and devices suggested for such protection with view ultimately of indicating those deserving recognition and from among which choice may be made. But the adoption of any one to the entire exclusion of others within the range of efficiency is neither nee essary nor desirable Action is needed only to the end that some efficient protection be made obligatory among those exposed to the concussion of gun fire or shell explosion. and the bureau has recommended general order to- that effect."- Washington Star.
