what vertigo Comes From.

One Of the principal causes of the
more serious forms of vertigo, or dizzi-
ness, is a diseased condition of the in
most portion of the ear, the labyrinth.
Vertigo of greater or less severity NAV
result from whatever disturbs the blood
pressure, either within the labyrinth or
in the middle ear. Similar effects are
also produced by false impressions re-
ceived through the eye, or through the
sense Of touch, and by disease of the
spinal cord
Since the great nerve which goes to
b stomach is at its cerebral center init
mately associated with the auditory
nerve, disturbance of the stomach may
cause the vertigo, and on the other hand,
a disturbance of the auditory nerve may
occasion nausea or vomiting. Vertigo
is sometimes brought on by paralysis of
a single muscle of the eye, or even by
the temporary weakness of an overtaxed
ocular muscle.
The form of vertigo now known as
'Meniere's disease" is that form which
the famous Dean Swift suffered, and
under which he often appeared like a
staggering drunkard. The patient on

Individual resistance to contagion is
none the less remarkable. A physician
or nurse will be brought into the most
intimate contact with a case of contagi-
u disease without contracting it, while
the same patient may communicate it to
a person passing him in the street, in the
early stages of his trouble, before it has
developed sufficiently to cause any
alarm. We have known of a most ma
lignant attack of diphtheria communi-

The Russian rastaquoueres, pseudo
mobiles, pseudo-diplomats, and officers
open to suspicion meet with a childishly
enthusiastic reception at the hands of
Jacques B~onhomme, and find associates
among many honest people, mingled
with adventures. Thus they succeeded
in founding Franco-Russian theaters,
Franco-Russian newspapers, all of them
equivocal enterprises of which the
simpletons become the inevitable vic
Tins. The public of republican Paris
applauds pieces in honor Of the Gar,
manifest enthusiasm on behalf of Holy
Russia, and gives way to a sort of pious
imbecility as regards everything that is
closely or remotely connected with the
alliance.
Thus the French nation, in its w
estimation the wittiest in the world, has
condescended to delight in idiotic Trades
or babyish anecdotes like the following.

For the sake of illustrating the differ
ence between the practical man and the
orist, let MS suppose two persons to visit
the northern peninsula of Michigan
seeking for iron. The one runs along
blindly, takes up with every good show,
and mines The result is, he either
makes a harry strike by mere accident
or spends thousands of dollars in useless
search.
The other has studied the laws of cleo
tricity, and knows that certain ores of
iron are magnetic. He understands also
that these ores will exert their influence
through any amoun of superintendent

self with a dipping needle and compass,
and by the operation of these tells where
n bed is located, its approximate depth
and probable amount of material. To
prevent being, deceived by the magnetic
schists in that region, by means of his
dipping needle and compass he traces up
the bed until he finds an outcrop.
Thus nave beer located, at little ex-
pense, many of the mining regions of
that locality. What an achievement is

gold in exchange for coined silver at 1873

coinage would not enable any foreign
country to exchange silver for your gold.
Free coinage is merely the permission
given to any mau to bring silver to yOur
mint and ave it coined into legal tender
dollars. If, having done so, he takes
those dollars to a bank here and demands
gold in exchange. the banker need not
give gold; if you had a credit of ten mil
non francs at the hank Of France today,
you could not draw gold from that insti-
tuition; you draw notes which the bank is
not obliged to pay IN gold, but can pay its
legal tender five franc silver pieces. So
thai il European silver was melted up and
sent here; was then coined aud deposited
at a bank, and the owner wanted gold, he
would lust walk down to Wall street and
buy New York Centrals and sell those
again in London for gold, drawing gold
from the Bank of England. That is the

itself to pay gold on demand. Free coin.

Tho TALBOT Palm of Ceylon.

The TALBOT palm of Ceylon has gigan-
tic fanlike leaves, which when fully ex-
banded form a nearly complete circle
thirteen feet in diameter. Large fans
made of them are carried before people
of rank among the C~inghalese; they are
also commonly used as umbrellas, and
tents are made by neatly joining them
together. They are used as a substitute
for paper, being written upon with a
stylus. Some of the sacred books of the
Cinghalese are composed of strips of
them. -Washington Star.
