DIZZINESS.
Various Causes That Bring About an
 Attack of Vertigo.

Dizziness. or vertigo-scientific writ CTS sometimes try to distinguish in sense between these two words, but practically, in popular usage, they mean the same thing-is disturbance of relation to the outside world, a 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 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 minations of the nerves coming from the center of equilibrium are distrib- uted. For the most part, vertigo is reflex trouble due to some impression which gets shunted off it's 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-disagreeable enough, but brief and of no great significance except as a symptom of trouble elsewhere in the body.
 Persistently recurring, transient dig ziness is often due to eye strain-that is to say, to errors in the formation of A Tod INxy (rloo Wearers of spectacles can frequently tell when a change in the eyes has oc- cured, necessitating corresponding change in the glasses, by the coming back of these attacks of giddiness, es- pecially when the gaze is suddenly moved from a near object to remote one or the reverse.
 Vertigo is a 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 dig 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 1 The same is true of tumor or other disease of the brain, especially of the cerebelIum, that part of the brain ill which the center of equilibrium is situ ated.
 The dizziness of seasickness, as vel 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- Youths Companion.

Dunkirls.s Fete of Lanterns.

One of the quaintest of the numer- ous yearly fetes still in honor at Dun kirk is the fete of lanterns, instituted many hundreds of years ago. in honor of St Martin, bishop of Tours, who died in 396, and who was one of the prelates by whose efforts the early in- habitants of these parts were convert ed to Christianity. AS soon as dusk sets in the celebration commences, and all the urchins of the town cOngregate in the main thoroughfares. Each one bears paper lantern, some of which are of considerable proportions, being shaped in the form of a ship or a flower. With lanterns in hand and blowing lustily on horns and trum- pets, the crowd of youngsters parades the streets.-London News.

Declined Her Own Medicine.

There is always more or less talk current about abolishing position and dispersing pelf. The trouble is to know just where to begin the destruc- tive reconstruction and to find reform CTS who are willing themselves to be reformed. An English great lady was once entertaining the labor member of parliament, Henry Broadhurst, the Duke of Argyll and others at her coun- try seat. She was strong Liberal, and one evening inveighed against the house of lords. It would be swept away if it did not reform, she said with fervor
 Yes" agreed Broadhurst, "and how will you like that, Mrs P.?'
 Lady P, if you please, sir," instant ly corrected Broadhurst's hostess, drawing herself up haughtily.

SHARPENING A PENCIL.
In This Act, 1t Is Said, You May Read
 a Mans Character.

No woman should marry man till she has seen him sharpen lead pen ciI. She can tell by the way he does it whether he is suited to her or not. Here are a few infallible rules for her guidance in the matter:
 The man who holds the point toward him and close up against his shirt front is slow and likes to have secrets. He is the kind of man who when the dearest girl in the world finds out that there are "others'' and asks him who they are and what he means by call ing on them will assume an air of ex- cessive dignity.
 The man who holds the pencil out at arms length and whittles away at It. hit or miss, is impulsive, jolly, good natured and generous.
 He who leaves a blunt point is dull and plodding and will never amount to much. He is really good hearted, but finds his chief pleasure in the commonplace things of life.
 He who sharpens his pencil an inch or more from the point is high strung and imaginative and subject to eX- uberant flights of fancy. He will all ways be seeking to mount upward and accomplish. things in the higher re gions of business and art, and his wife's greatest trouble will be to hold him down to earth and prevent his flying off altogether on tangent.
 The man who sharpens his pencil all around smoothly and evenly, as though it were planed off in an automatic sharpener, is systematic and slow to anger, but he is so undertaking from a fixed principle that he would drive a woman with a sensitive temperament to distraction in less than six months. On the contrary, he who jumps in and leaves the sharpened wood as jag ged as saw teeth around the top has a nasty temper and will spank the baby on the slightest provocation There are certain women who can manage that kind of man beautifully, however and if he gets wife with a calm, persuasive eye he will come down from his high horse in a few minutes and be as meek as lamb.
 The man who doesn't stop to polish the point Of lead once the wood is cut away has a streak of coarseness in his nature.
 He who slaves off the lead till the point is like q needle is refined deli cate and sensitive. He will not be likely to accomplish so much as his more comn1on brother but he will nev- CT shock you and is without doubt 8 good man to tie to.-New York Press

< River of Death.

Before the English occupation of h. dla 1t was estimated that the Ganges carried to the sea every year 100000 dead bodies. It was then considered by the Hindoos that the happiest death was one found in it's waves, and all plous Hindoos who could do so were carried to its banks and placed in it's waters to die. The. .decaying carcasses along its banks were probably respon- sible in no small degree for the pesti- lerces which formerly desolated the peninsula.

A NOBLE ENEMY.
The Fate of Mokranf. a MOsIem Chief
 of Africa.

The Fate of MOIzrani, a MOsIem Chief
 of Africa.
 France was never in greater danger of losing her colonies in Africa than during the war with Germany in 1870. The troops were recalled from Africa to take part in the conflict that was going on against France, and Algeria was left almost defenseless.
 The hour for which the conquered races had long waited had come, and if a holy war had been proclaimed it is probable that the French would have been driven from northern Africa.
 But the tribes did not rise while the French had their hands full on the other side of the Mediterranean, and the fact was due to their fidelity to a solemn pledge.
 When the war broke out chief of great infuente Among the tribes, Mo krani, gave his word to the governor general of Algeria that there should be no insurrection while the war lasted That word was faithfully kept. Disas- ter after disaster followed the French arms. The defeats of the war cuI- minated in the surrender of Paris. But not a man of the tribes of Kabylia stirred. The Moslem's faith was plighted; the Moslem's faith was kept.
 When, however, the last battle had been fought and the treaty of peace signed, MOkrani. then released from his word, gave the governor general notice that in forty-eight hours he would declare war. The French armies, released from duty at home. hurried across the Mediterranean. The end was inevitable. Mokrani, seeing that all was lost, put himself at the head of his warriors and fell fighting in the front rank. The French erected a monument to mark the spot where their noble enemy perished.

The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1906-02-16

We believe that every friend
of Milbank, who desires to
see the city prosper, should go
to the polls next Tuesday and
vote in favor of issuing bonds
for the building of a new school
house. If the sum asked for,
($16, ,6OO will be sufficient to Sc
cure for the city adequate school
Accommodations, there should be
no question as to the duty of
every voter in the city. The
overcrowded condition of the
present school building, and the
difficulty of keeping it comfort
able or in a sanitary state, are
arguments that can not be gain
said, and that appeal more
strongly fo:' improvement every
year. The matter has long been
delayed, and there may have
been wisdom for postponing the
work in the years gone by, but
there can be no question that the
time has now arrived for imme-
diate action. The absolute ne
cessity for a new and modern
building in which the health and
safety of attendants will not
be jeopardized, the constantly
increasing demand for room for
the greater attendance each
year, and the necessity for bet.
ter facilities for school work
than the present school building
affords, must be apparent to all.
Milbank is steadily forging
ahead in other lines, the city is
making good growth in popula-
ton and taxable property, and it
cannot afford as a matter of civ
ic pride or as a business propo-
sition, to allow it's school prlvil-
eyes and educational institutions
to become a byword and a re-
proach. Go to the polls next
Tuesday and see that the bond.
ing proposition is carried by a
good majority.

The man giving his name as
Frank Hudson, who was serving
a sentence of IS days for house
breaking, was released last Mon
day. He went to Twin Brooks
where he begged some money
and proceeded to get on glori-
Gus drunk. Before he had gone
very far on his spree he got into
trouble and Sheriff Murray was
called on to go and get him. He
was brought to this place and
tried before Justice Bleser and
sentenced to five days at the
county jail for disorderly con
duct. 1t is thought by the off :
cials that Hudson is taking this
method to keep in board and
feed until spring at the county's
expense. The sheriff of Roberts
county had warrant for his ar
rest but it will n OF be served.
