One of the interesting structures In
Cornvile is the little church on the
NEST side of the road leading from
Malbons Mills in this town to Athens
and just south of the Cornyille town
house. The little structure has long
since been deserted but stands in
fairly good repair. 1t is an interest
ing reminder of earlier days when
here were fewer creeds but more de-
vout Christians. The little chapel
is unlocked and passing through a
narrow entry the auditorium Is east
ly gained. The pews are elevated in
the rear and the floor is carpeted
with varying shades according to the
material Afforded by the different par
ishoners. About the walls are ar
ranged interesting mottos suggestive
of puritanical times and tiny organ
which when the keyes were touched
and the pedals pushed, gave forth
sweet sounds in spite of its long peri
cd OF disuse and silence The pull
pit Is gained and there resting on the
big old desk is the preachers Bible
and book mark opened to place
suggestive of possibly the last text
upon which some hoary minister adj
vanced his views on the future life Of
mortals. A tiny hair cloth sofa rests
In a niche behind the pulpit, and the
equipment generally is that Of an old
time meeting house. 1t is regretable
indeed that 50 charming a little place
of worship should be allowed to stand
In a prosperous community like Corn
vile without regular church services
in these times when religion and
education rank so highly in every day
life Who the preachers have been
in this little church is not known
II is recalled however that G.. Aaron
Beede one time schoolmaster and a
man OF much learning for a time
preached there.
His career has been ont of the Or
binary and for a long time he has
lived among the Indians in the Dako- |
tas. Mr.. Beede was in former times |
n Congregationalst minister but lat

Telephone Deafness.

Telephone users--and that includes
every person--will be interested in the
subject of telephone deafness. George
Colt, in the Buffalo Medical Journal,
calls attention TO several cases in which
persons, when they put the telephone
receiver to the ear, suddenly heard a
loud. high pitched sound, and then
could hear nothing more, the deafness
persisting for considerable length of
time.
His explanation of the cause of this
deafness is that any interference TO the
line while one is listening may jar the
auditory nerve suddenly and induce
high pitched sound followed by pro
longer tinnitus with immediate deaf
ness, either partial or total, the symp-
toms ameliorating after some weeks.
This accident can be avoided because
it occurs only when the listener holds
the receiver in such contact with the
ear that no external sound can enter,
a common way to hold the receiver
when there is much noce around. If
the user of the telephone applies the
receiver in such way that space Is
left for free circulation of air be-
tween it and the ear a shock cannot
be transmitted TO the nerve, no mat
ter how much disturbance there may
be on the line. Pittsburg Gazette
