VERTIGO,

Any disturbance. of the blood circulation in
the internal ear, especially in that portion
known as thu se;nicircular canals, will give
rise to feeling of dizziness or vertigo. This
symptom is by no means unco1dHlon, and is
so often felt by persons who are otherwise in
perfect health that little attention is general
ly paid to it, 1t is true that in many cases
one may be perfectly safe in not needing it.
yet recurring OF prolonged attacks of dizzi-
ness should never pass unnoticed.
In what is known as Meniere's disease,
which is associated with a chronic affection
Of the internal ear the patient suffers parox-
ysms of intense dizziness accompanied with
loud ringing in the ears, the attacks becom-
ing more and more severe and prolonged as
the disease progresses.
In the great majority of cases, however,
the explanation of the vertigo is to be found
in some local departure from the normal con
dition, the real source of the trouble being
perhaps at some distance from the parts af
fected
In the ear itself we may have foreign
body pressing on the drum membrane, OF an
increased pressure in the drum cavity, such
as happens when tie 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 ex-
planned only by the intimate nervous connec-
tion between the two organs, an overstrain-
ing at one portion of the nerve circuit show
ing its effects at the other.-Boston Budget.

Youthful Refornler,

The name Jimmy Eaton is not very COM
mon-not nearly so common as John Smith,
for instance-but after reading the following
story one cannot think that the boy Jimmy
Eaton is to be found almost anywhere. Some
readers of The Companion may know not
only such a boy, but such man.
A schoolmaster was placed over new
school, His ambition was roused he wanted
to make that the very best school that ever
was. He pondered a good while and con-
cluded that the best way to get at his object
was to rouse a spirit OF self respect and self
improvement in the pupils. So one day he
talked to them earnestly, and finally he said,
thinking he had made the subject very plain
to them all:
''Now, boys, believe there is just one way
TO do this thing. If each of you will make up
his mind to mend one boys faults, the whole
school will be improved in a very short time. P"
''All right, sir" spoke up little Jimmy
Eaton. who had been very much interested
in the discussion; ''Ill mend Jack Wyeth."-

A Mammoth Bridge.

Some New Workers believe the Brooklyn
bridge to be the greatest in the world, but
these statistics about the bridge across the
Forth of Scotland, to be opened in a few weeks,
disprove their belief:
This bridge has three spans across the
stream, one of which is LILO feet long, while
the Brooklyn bridge proper is ,595 feet long.
The space spanned by the Forth bridge is
S,O9S feet, while the bridge, from shore to
shore, is 1919 feet and 6inches in length The
approaching spans from the south side are ten
in number, each 1853 feet long, and on the
north side the spans are five in number. The
Brooklyn bridge, in its approach on the New
York side, is 2, 1927 feet long, and on the
Brooklyn side 1901 feet, making the total
length $3.50 feet against S,09s for the Forth.
The cost Of the Forth bridge is less than
that of the Brooklyn, the former being s12.-
SOC, 900 and the latter SIS, 100000 The Forth
bridge has been six years in building, and the
loss Of life has been fearful, on the average

The connections of the oldest traditions are
afforded first by language and legends, for
the study of which no museums are required.
Next to these in value are material objects,
particularly useful ones, with which are as
ISOLATED antique designs and mythic-some-
times perstitious-meanings, and which
also in their forms, decorations and applica-
lions give very definite views of their age. 1t
is the purpose of the projected museum OF
costumes and household goods to collect these
objects-not the only purpose, for there are
many stages in the historical development Of
peoples which have left their traces in dress
in furnishings, but the principal one.
A museum Of costumes and household goods
will, therefore, close the gaps between chino
logical and prehistoric museums on the one
side and between chronological and historical
museums on the other. 1t will do for our
own people what chronological museums have
done in relation to foreign peoples particu-
Iarly to savages; it will seek out objects Of
the present as historical museums have re-
covered them from the tombs and dwelling
places of primitive times, and will give fol-
the common life and conduct of the peoples
what historical museums have furnished as tc
their ecclesiastical and courtly life.-Rudoli

Japan.

Japan, properly called Denipan, is the
great land of the rising sun. The harbors OF
this island greatly resemble those of India.
The coast is very picturesque. As you ap-
proach the city of Yokohama you feel a sort
of pleasure. The strand for miles looks over
crowded with short-sized men and women
dressed in different costumes. As soon as
you land you are surrounded by men re-
questing you to make yourself comfortable
in their conveyances, which are generally
drawn by one and propelled by another
The wheels of these carriages are dispro-
portlonatey large, SO that they seem to be in
good keeping with the size of the people, who
can be said to have no necks at all
From Yokohama runs railway of twenty
two miles to an immense city called Toxic.
This journey gives the true picture of the
rural life at Japan. Rice fields abound all
over. Boiled fish and rice form the only
staple food of the people, yet that has not in
any way made the people meek and timid
like the Bengalis. The japanese are very
brave and industrious. Young Ladies' Jour

Contradictions in Character.

"Speaking of dogs" said a yarn spinning
boat club man, chuckling softly to himself
over some nirth provoking memory, there
was a queer thing happened one day last
week. One of the young fellows belonging to
the boat club has pretty hot temper, al
though he's a mighty good hearted boy
Well, the pup that belongs to the fellow that
tends to the club house chewed up S4 hat
on young Blank and it made him pretty hot.
HE swore he'd kill that blasted pup, and
he chased him all over the pier with that in
tention, but the pup was too lively for him
and led him regular chase. Finally the boy
got the dog cornered out at the pier head, and
the pup, as last resort, jumped overheard
Over goes Blank after him and swims him
down, for the dog was no swimmer Well,
he just pounded the face off that pup and
soused him under so much that two or three
women standing round said he was perfect
brute.
1.-The next day young Blank came down
again. There was an awful sea on; | never
saw worse The water was breaking clear
over the pier and sending the suds clear over
the clubhouse roof Blank had to make a
run for it to get down the pier as far as the
club house. The dog saw him coming, and
soak it to him again, he made sneak down
the pier and pumped off the end, right in
among those broken rocks and jagged piles
1t was sure death for the dog, with such a
sea running. Blank stood and figured a min
ute. He is pretty good boatman and first
rete swimmer, but he knew a man with a
beat hadn't one chance in a thousand of get
ting out to that pup and getting in again
safe
HE turned round and went into the club
house, chucked off his coat and shoes, got
down boat, and somehow-the Lord knows
how, don't-got her over the Ice side of the
pier and tumbled into her. He got the dog
al right, but it was queer thing for him to
do; now, wasn't ita To risk his life for a
worthless cur that he'd been bent on drown
ing the day beforel"
thought it wasn't so queer, after all, and

worth knowing. Chicago Mail.

A HENPECKED MOOR,

Moorish Wives Not Such Complete Slaves
to Their Lords as Has Been Supposed.
The Moslem women are not such complete
slaves to their husbands as is generally sup
posed A Moorish officer we took to Jeddah
from Tangier had his wife with him. She
was his only wife, and though only IS years
of age had been married to him five years
and had had three children, one of whom
was dead and the other two alive and left
behind at their home in Fee, whence they
came.
He had twice before performed the pill
grimage to Mecca, and each time had been
accompanied by his young wife. This time
they were taking her mother with them, and,
indeed, the thoughtful and considerate way
in which he treated them occasioned me a
good deal of surprise. This bigoted Mussul-
man-looked upon by his European brethren
as jealous tyrant of women, as one utterly
incapable Of approaching their higher quail
tiles, could certainly have shamed many Of
them in this matter.
The ship was lying in the bay about mile
from the city of Tangier. The sea was run
ming pretty high, and long before they came
alongside both ladies were very sick. Gently
he lifted them on board and laid them down
in quiet corner, while he rushed about to
seek the best place on deck wherein to fix his
tent Then he tore open his packages and
drew out from them carpets and pillows and
curtains. and in a short while u well fitted
tent was ready, and into it he carried the
two women and laid them down and made
them comfortable.
There they lay till the next day, as much
like two bundles of clothes as anything else,
for even their faces and hands were invisible,
and really believe they did not move once,
although in few hours, as soon as we had
got through the straits and entered the Medl-
terranean, TIE sea became perfectly calm and
q great deal of their indispositlon must have
been of that inexplicable nature which would
have tried the patience of many Christian
husband considerably.
But he busted himself about and lit a
fire, and presently turned out a nice little din
ner. and didn't lose his temper bit because
they would have none of it, but only gazed
sorrowfully at the provisions that were to be
wasted Then he made them some tea and
then some coffee, and left nothing untried in
the whole category of things to make them
comfortable, patiently sitting there tanning
them, or anon starting up to get them some
water or any other thing they might want
When, the next morning, the ladies had
been induced to look over the side of the ship
and had convinced themselves that the sea
was as calm as it possibly could be and that,
therefore, they could not any longer be sick,
then did they bestir themselves and do their
proper work in attending to the house and
doing the cooking They took great pride in
making the tent look clean and neat, and al
together they seemed very happy couple

A Gown That Dries the Bather.

is recognized boon for bath room bathers,
and in England, where they recently made
their appearance, no genteman's dressing
room is considered complete without one.
The material now most popular is in delicate
tissues of stripes and broad checks. Some
are embroidered on the cuffs and hood with
chenille. The sleeves are straight and loose.
Instead of standing and getting chilled while
the slow operation of drying with towels
goes on, the Russian absorher is slipped on as
you step out of your bath, and you can at
