RAW SAUSAGE.

Perhaps you have noticed some per-
son whose eyeballs were constantly
rolling. If the habit was very marked
! the person had nystagmus. In nystag-
! mus the eyes roll back and forth from
one to 200 times each minute. On most
cases the movement is rotary. Some
times it is from side to side. Occasion
| ally they are up and down.
| The movements affect both eyeballs,
| though the two eyeballs may not move
| together, and sometimes the movement
I, In one is much more rapid thar the
other.
Perhaps the first symptom that the
| patient notices is that objects seem to
| dance before his eyes. This causes him
| 20 be dizzy. Headache develops. If the
| Eyes are examined, and they should be.
| he probability is that it will be found
| that glasses are needed.
IT these earlier symptoms are ne
elected presently it will be noticed that
| he eyeballs are dancing. Nystagmus
| Is we'll developed.
There are two groups of causes for
nyStagmuS and it is important that one
should find out to which group his case
belongs. In one group the cause is some
organic disease Of brain or nerves, espe-
ilally of the optic nerve. Careful exam
nation of the back of the eye when the
,rouble is due to disease of the optic
lerVe VIII show the cause. When the
disease is due to organic disease of the
brain a careful examination of the ner-
vous system will show it. In the other
group the train of ymptoms-dancins
pr eyeballs, giddiness, headache, nausea,
tremor-are the result of fatigue, and
especially of great fatigue of the eyes.
In Europe, miners nystagmus is very
important. In a certain coal mine union
about four miners out of each 1000 have
miners nystagmus. No such condition
prevails in this country. In 1910 no nys-
tagmus was found among coal miners
In Illinois. Probably there is practically
none in this country. The reason is that
coal miners in this country work by
good light. The galleries are large, A
great deal Of the work is done by ma

light so prevalent in European coal
pines. The American miner very much

pair of properly fitting spectacles.
This form Of nystagmus being the
result of exhaustion. great fatigue, pro-
longed eye strain, can be cured il
taken in time by extended rest. It Is

clally to rest the eyes,

Different Solicitations.

The parting salutations Of various
nations are stri1ingly alike.
The Greek word perhaps, has a high
er significance than the Latin; for It
was not mere complimentary salu-
tation. ST. John forbids it to be given
to heretical teachers.
The French, on taking leave, say,
"Adieu," thus distinctly recognizing tho
rrovidential power Of the Creator; and
he same meaning is indeed conveyed
in our own word "goodby," which is a
corruption Of God De with you"
The Irish, in their warmth of manner
and love of words, often extend the ex-
preston.

friends leaving Que of the loveliest
