Always a Valuable Asset In Pres.

Presence of mind is always an as

the presence of men intent upon muir

Of very excellent cigars. The ruffians
presently appeared at his address.
Come in, gentlemen" he said and
produced his cigars. To each man he
handed one. Taken aback at their
reception, they seemed abashed and
confused. 81 know that you came to
kill me-" he said. "Why do you not
proceed to your task?" This was too
much for even this bloodthirsty depu-
tation. They could not kill the man
whose cigars they were smoking and
who invited them to carry out their
task. Muttering some excuse for hav-

it was the eye which counted. While
he was visiting the Duke of Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha one of the dukes retainers
made up his mind to slay him. He
had so frequently heard the great man
denounced as the curse of Europe that
he felt impelled to seize the chance to
destroy him. He was a common SOL
der at the time and had to do sentry
duty in one Of the corridors of the pal
ace along which Napoleon passed. He
put his finger to the trigger as the
duke, accompanied by Napoleon, drew
in sight. He aimed for Napoleons
heart. Napoleon saw him. He said
nothing, but simply fixed his eagle eye
upon the youth. The latter seemed
spellbound. He let the musket fall
with crash to the floor of the stone
corridor. He felt, he said, as if he
must have swooned. Napoleon took
no further. notice, said no word, pass

saved his life. He knew its effect

DIZZINE NESS.
Various Causes That Bring About an
Attack of Vertigo.

Attack of Vertigo.
Dizziness, or vertigo-scientffic writ
ers sometimes try to distinguish in
sense between these two words, but
practically, in popular usage, they
mean the same thing-is a disturbance
of relation to the outside world, loss
of the sense Of equilibrium. The sen
sation persists even when the eyes are
closed There is more or less inability
to walk straight or even to stand still,
and often there is nausea, followed by
vomiting.
Vertigo is due to a disturbance,
either actual or reflex, of the nervous
"center of equilibrium" in the back
part Of the brain or in the semicircu-
lar canals in the ear, in which the ter
limitations of the nerves coming from
the center of equilibrium are distrib-
uted. For the most part, vertigo is a
reflex trouble due to some impression
which gets shunted off its own route
as it were, through nerve fibers con-
Meeting with the equilibrium center
and acts upon the semicircular canals
of the ear. Thus it is that. dizziness
is a comparatively trivial affection, as
a rule-disa agreeable enough, but brief
and of no great significance except as
a symptom of trouble elsewhere in the
body.
Persistently recurring, transient diz.
ziness is often due to eye strain-that
is to say, to errors in the formation of
the eye not corrected by proper glasses
Wearers Of spectacles can frequently
tell when a change in the eyes has oc-
CURED, necessitating a corresponding
change in the glasses, by the coming
back of these attacks of giddiness, es-
pecially when the gaze is suddenly
moved from near object to a remote
one or the reverse.
Vertigo is common symptom of dis
orders of digestion seated either in the
stomach or the intestine. The treat
ment for this form is, of course, to
treat the indigestion or constipation.
Another more serious variety of diz
ziness depends upon disease of the
heart or Of the blood vessels, especially
those of the brain.
Any disease Of the ear is apt to be
associated with more or less vertigo
The same is true of tumor or other
disease Of the brain, especially of the
cerebellum, that part of the brain in
which the center Of equilibrium is stu
ated.
The dizziness of seasickness, as well
as that Of swinging or of rapidly turn
ing about, is thought to be caused by
an irritation of the nerves in the semi
circular canals by the striking against
them of the fluid in these canals.

senca Of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence Of this one pledge
TO mutual affection is common disap-

become estranged thereby. Even II they

extent Of their disappointment in the eyes
Of such childless couple when they rest
on the children OF others. To them the

easily removed by the cure OF weakness on

suicide of a Young Woman.

Unable to bear longer the contumely
brought upon herself and family by an
unfortunate love affair, the daughter OF
a Confederate colonel, 16-yesr-old Efie
Leavell, died esrly Saturday morning at
the German Hospital in Philadelphia,
as a result of poison which she took
with suicidal intent nearly three weeks

Col. B. F. Lesvell, her husband, a
wealthy orange planter, had died three
years before of heart disease, having lost
bis fortune. With small amount OF
money Mrs. Leavel had gone to Phils-

While living there a yonng man, who
eaid that he would shortly fell heir to
$25, 900, was frequent visitor. Ac
cordipg to the testimony, Evans met
Effie Leavell clsndestinely, and one day
lured her to house, with the result that
