While here standing court remem- j ber that A Mark's restaurant is serving first class m^als at all hours. Oar entire force is suffering with Lagrippe and several communications are consequently left over this J week. The time for paying taxes without the penalty will expire on March 1st.

The Pension Board gives notice j that the Board will hold a final meet- i ing on the 19th and 20th inst., when all applicants must appear before it on those dates. The town council held its regular j meeting last Monday night and transacted 'its business and has posted j notices for the registration of voters 1 and for the town election. ' People attending court will re- j member that H. L. Oswald has a i complete line of general merchan- ' dise and is selling at rock bottom } prices. Give him a call when in j town. x)r. Blackburn, of Columbia, de- j liohted his large and appreciative j "B congregations last Sunday morning and evening with bis masterly ser- ! mon8 and eloquent oratory. I Parties who desire settings of Black Langshan and White Leghorn j eggs can get them by applying at j the Bazaar. They are of breeded stock and have taken the blue ribbon j at several fairs.

It is extremely dangerous ' to interfere with it by use of ear I picks or any of iho various instruments used for the purpose of cleaning it from wax. The wax is a natural secretion, and unless the ear becomes diseased it does not accu1 r. < / > nnv foifnr niiii 1; TV liuuait" i\u\ xncivi iiiuii v,. ... . to protect the passage from the entrance of insects and various, particles which might otherwise be forced in and tend to interfere permanently with the hearing. The greatest care is necessary in \ washing the ears of little children. ! They should he washed outside, but on the inside only so far as the lin- ! gcr wrapped in a soft towel will go-. ' The practice of forcing a hairpin or any other hard instrument into the ear passage is fraught with danger j of injuring the membrane, causing permanent deafness. Earache is a ! malady of childhood and causes | most distressing pain. The simplest i remedy for it is to take a little cot- i ton dipped in warm sweet oil and put it in the ear passage. A danger that may arise from do- i ing so simple a thing as this is that i minute particles of the cotton may i be left in the ear. To prevent this . some physicians advise making a j little wad of the cotton and wrap- ; ping it in the finest and thinnest i linen cambric that can be found and | dipping this in warm sweet oil. In ' case of intense pain a few drops of I hot laudanum or camphor may be J i y ; used with the oil. When foreign bodies get into t lie j o o ear, they should he removed by i syringing them out with warm wa- ' ter. To attempt to remove anything from the ear passage by forcing an instrument in is a rash thing for any one except an aurist to under- j take. The best medical practitioners refuse to treat affections of the ear or eye, but send their patients to specialists. The March Delineator. During the past year The Delineator's facilities for obtaining the first information of what is being done in the centres of fashion have been ? .1 5 ( greatly extenaea, ana it now commands resources that, perhaps are not possible to any other magazine. Some of these results are shown in the March number. Shake Into Your Shoes Allen's Foot-Ease. It rests the feet. Cures Corns, Bunions, Ingrowing Nails, Swollen and Sweating feet.

Johnson's Tonic does in a day what slow Quinine cannot do in ten days. Its splendid cures are in striking contrast with the feeblo cures made by Quinine. If vou are utterlv wretched, take a thorough course of Johnson's Tonic and drive out every trace of Malarial poisoning. The wise insure their lives and the wiser insure their health by using Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic. It costs 50 cents if it cures; not one cent if it does not. 20?12m Meetze & Son informs those who ; may attend court that they have a 1 selected stock of general merchan- j dise and are Eelling as cheap as the j , cheapeet.

There are energetic, home-loving women who by sheer force of will keep themseivesgoing, and fancy that strength of will can take the place of strength of body. But it can't. Every day will see a loss of jggraqL strength, ftiRT--an<l that l~3r loss will be Jf A. indicated s ^ by a loss \? ~~ -?? ulceration, and cures female weakness. Where the disease is marked by loss of flesh, there is a steady regaining 01 weignt coincident with the cure which proves the renewal of health to be thorough and permanent. "Thrc years ago," writes Mrs. John Graham, of 211S Plumb Strcit I Frankford). Philadelphia. Penna. "I had a very bad attack of dropsy which left me with heart trouble, and also a very weak back. At times I was so bad that I riid'not know what to do with myself. I caine to Philadelphia two years ago, and picking up one of your little lxx>ks one day began to read what your 'Favorite Prescription' had done for others. I determined to try it myself.

Probably the professional life of no class is so short as that of the ladies who dance for our delight in the season of pantomime, and none nowadays can he said to dance through two generations. What a surprise the present public would experience at -such an announcemmif oo o linno roil 1*11 the T.nurlon J11V_A1 b UO II | 'J/VM i V.VA Ji* v.. w Weekly Journal of Jan. 26, 1723, that a veteran danseuse, aged seventy-one, would on a certain date perforin a series of dances. The celebrated Peggy Fryar, therein advertised, had publicly danced in the early years of the reign of Charles II. and made her final appearance in the time of George II. Her dancing in her seventy-second year drew crowds to the New theater in the llaymarket in 1723, but the charm was probably the novelty rather than the excellence of her ptMi'JlJLLUUHJC. A Clever Retort. An old lady brought up as a witness before a bench of magistrates when asked to take off her bonnet refused to do so, saying, "There's no law compelling a woman to take off her bonnet." "Oh," said one of the magistrates, "you know the law, do you? Perhaps you would like to come up and sit here and teach us ?" "No, 1 thank you, sir," replied the old lady; "there are old women enough there already." Accommodating. There is a point to this story: A burglar whose night entry into the parsonage awakened the sleeping pastor said to his helpless victim: "If you stir, you're a de*d man! I'm hunting for money!" "Just let me get up and strike a light," pleasantly replied the dominie, "and I shall be glad to assist you in the search."?Boston Watchman.
