FACTS About VERTIGO.
In Persons of Full Habit 1t May Preceds
an Attack of Apoplexy.


Attack of Apoplexy.
Any disturbance of the blood circu-
lation in the internal ear, especially In
that portion known as the semicircular
canals, will give rise to a feeling OF
dizziness or vertigo. This symptom Is
by no means uncommon, and is so often
felt by persons who are otherwise In
perfect health that little attention is
generally paid to it. 1t is true that In
many cases one may be perfectly safe
in not needing it, yet recurring or pro-
lOnged attacks of dizziness should
never pass unnOticed.
In what is known as Meniere' Dis
ease, which is associated with chronic
affection OF the internal ear, the patient
suffers paroxysms of intense dizziness.
accompanied with loud ringing in the
ears, the attacks becoming more and
more severe and prolonged as the dis
ease progresses.
In the great majority of cases, how
ever, the explanation of the vertigo is
to be found in some local departure
from the normal condition, the real
source of the trouble being, perhaps,
at some distance from the parts affected
In the ear itself we may have a
foreign body pressing on the drum
membrane, or an increased pressure in
the drum cavity, such as happens when
the passage to the ears is stopped and
an excess of fluid accumulates. The
same condition may arise also from an
error of vision, in which case it can be
explained only by the intimate nervous
connection between the two organs, an
over-straining at one portion of the
nerve circuit showing its effects at the
other.
Most interesting of all, however. is
the connection between this symptom
and certain disturbances of the stOm-
ach. Vertigo and nausea often 60 to-
gether, as in the case of persons who
swing violently, or in those who are
sea-sick. By means of the intimate
nervous connection, any irritation or
I
stomach will react on the blood supply
of the ears, and vertigo may thus be an
Indication of indigestion or an over
loaded stomach.
The heart is still another organ con-
nected with this same nervous chain,
and this fact explains how it is that
palpitation is sometimes met with I'M
| der similar circumstances. This fact
may serve as an additional warning
against the use of alcohol and certain
| drugs which cause dizziness when
taken into the stomach.
In persons of full habit, with large
excess of blood, vertigo may precede
an attack of apoplexy. In any case,
| the wise course is to avoid all effort
and remain in reclining position
while the attack asts.-Youth' Com

CURE FOR KICKING,
How to Master Horses Addicted to the
Vicious Habit.

How to Master Horses Addicted to the
Vicious Habit.
During the last thirty-fve years a
neighbor has permanently cured over
twenty horses of the kicking habit,
without failing in any case attempted.
Following is his method: Take a half
inch rope that has been stretched until
it can not stretch any more, tie it
around the horse six inches back of
the pad and bellyband of the harness;
insert q short stick and twist it up
nearly as tight as the rope will bear
without breaking, and tie the stick so
that it will stay. Fasten the horse in
stall where there is room behind
him to WELD long lash whip, then
strike him around the hind legs quite
severely; at the second or third blow
he will generally kick with both feet
with all his might. but only for two or
three times. If he has been in the
habit of kicking in harness. drive him
with the rope on two weeks, or until
he quits making any threats. Some
will kick once or twice with one foot,
and bob up and threaten for several
days. They should be tickled or teased,
or have basket or pail thrown under
them or tied to a hind foot several
times day to make them try to kick,
and until they cease to make any effort
In that direction. The remedy is then
effectual. After driving the animal half
an hour the rope should be frightened.
This will also cure bucking horses or
any which try to throw their rider

MAN MOTH ICEBERGS.

seven lcebergs were passed. She sailed
on June 8, and on that day became
fast damned in an ice-pack which
extended beyond the reach of vision.
After battling for seven trying days
and nights with the beleaguering
ice field, the vessel managed to get
into clear water; but a day later as

TWO SMART FOXES.
they Protected Their Home by an In
gs ninns Stratarem.


e. niOas Stratagem.
1t is doubtful if there is any other
animal in the world so cunning as the
fox. 1t certainly exercises reason.
since it provides against new contin-
gencies as fast as they arise. Here is
a story which exhibits almost human
calculation.
a pair OF red foxes took up their
home on a Dakota farm, on knoll. in
awheat-feld, whore they began to rear
four little foxes.
Every day, while narrowing and
sowing wheat in the field says the
farmer. 81 saw the two old foxes lying
on the little mound in front Of their
home. The kits rolled about in the
sun, played with the bushy tails of
their parents, and enjoyed themselves
apparently as much as group of kit
tens.
"One morning a neighbor came
to work in field adjoining. bring
ing with him a dog, and the
cog, with all the curiosity of his
KIND, soon began the investigation of
both farms. He was still a long dis
lance from the fox-dcn when | heard a
sharp, w''ra ~ bark and saw the kits
disappear. A. looked, the mother
fox lay On the mound, her ears erect,
her nose on the ground, all attention,
The father of the family, with his big

wondered. / had never heard of such
thing, and the dog, though not a
large one, was still larger than the
fox. But reynard knew his business
better than |. He approached the in
truder until the dog saw him, when
(, both stopped for an Instant, and then
! the dog gave chase. The fox, with a
bark of defiance, turned and ran in q
direction away from his home.
cat first the dog seemed to gain
rapidly upon the fox, but | watched
them for nearly mile before they dis.
appeared in the prairie grass, and con-
cluded that the fox was able to keep
out of the others way.
I'm about an hour the dog returned
from fruitless chase, ana for time
he &C tc"t dly followed his master.
Then he began proving around again.
''All this time the moSher-fox had
remained on the mound. q picture OF
quiet vigilance; but now, as the dog
again vcntured near, she rose and
trotted toward him, and the dog was
soon chasing her over the prairie.
Hardly had they disappeared when the
male trotted back from some hiding
place and took the position vacated by
his mate. The dog returned after a
time, unsuccessful as before.
During the day he was again and
again tempted to a chase. first by the
male and then by the female, and
while the one kept him busy, the other
watched over the young, who did not
%low themselves after the frs, sight OF
the dog.
lit is hard to say which We admired
most: the bravery of the pair IN chal-
longing the dog to a race that would
n have proved fatal had he caught them,
their ingenuity in taking turns, SO that
each might be fresh when chased,
Tleir skill in leading him away from
Their young, or their cleverne5s in

What Is Really Believed and Prae.
ticed by This Prosecuted
People.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, November 2S.-In response
to telegram from the Associated Press
asking statement concerning the pres
ent investigation in Salt Lake City,
President Woodruff, of the Mormon
church, sends 8 dispatch, in which he
says: "This is the periodical Mormon
sensation which We are accustomed to
expect in November. Congress meets in
December, and it is presumed that the
usual efforts will be made to secure legis-
lation against the Mormons. In addition
we are on the eve of an important muni.
cipal election here, which the anti Nor
mons hope to carry by preventing the
naturalization OF Mormons. There is ab-
solutely nothing in the Mormon religion
inconsistent with patriotic devotion to the
Government of the United States, The
revelations and commandments of the
church require the constitution and laws
of the land to be upheld. 1t is also a
part of our belief that the time will come
when the country will be distracted and
general lawlessness prevail. Then the
Mormon people will step forward and
take an active part in rescuing the ma
ton from ruin.
"In regard to the claim that the priest.
hood or the chief authorities of the
church assert the right to control the
Mormon people in all temporal, includ-
ing political affairs, would say: | am
the head of the church and l do not
make any such claim. 1t would be i'm
possible to exercise it if l did. The
charge of undue interference in elections
is absurd. Balloting is strictly secret,
and all the management of the elections,
in the smallest details, is in the hands of
the United States Governments ap-
pointees. That the Mormons are united
politically is largely due to their being
constantly and vindictively assailed by
small minorities who seek to control the
majority.
"a good deal is being made of the
form of prayer, based upon two verses in
the sixth chapter of the Revelations of
st. John in the New Testament. 1t re-
lates to praying that God might avenge
the blood of the prophets. An attempt
has been made to connect this with
avenging the death Of Joseph and Hiram
Smith. 1t can have no such application,
as the endowment was given long before
the death of Joseph and Hiram Smith,
and has not been changed. These men
were murdered by q local mob disguised.
Concerning the cry about blood
atonement, there is this foundation: Our
religious faith is belief in the atoning
blood of Christ. We believe in the
Scripture doctrine: Whose sheddeth
mans blood, by man shall his blood be
she'd But we also believe that all
execution for murder shall be under the
law of the land and by it's officers only.
The statements of apostate Mormon wit.
nesses that the endowment ceremonies
involve the death penalty upon those
who leave the church and disobey the
priesthood, are simply untrue. Nor
mons on the stand have the right to de.
cline to disclose the ianocent formula of
the endowment, just as the Masons have
a right to refuse to disclose the Masonic
rituals"
