Now we will go." "An intriguing woman I have no doubt," said she, as through her glasses she followed Miranda's re- treat. What was said, how-ever, did not reach the dowager's ears. It was, indeed, no more than an inter- change of "good-nights," but the dowager ~brid1ed, perhaps out of disappointment that she had not heard.

At this moment Charnock stepped over the sill. He stepped up to Mrs. Warriner’s side and spoke to her. Mrs. Warrinef stopped with- in a couple of yards of the dowager and gave her hand, and with her hand her eyes, to her companion. "Thank you, mother," siiid Muri- el, who was growing restive under this instructional use of ah even- ing party. "I will take the first opportunity of practising your ad- vice." "Muriel;" she observed, "take a good ‘look at that womay, and re- member that if ever. you sit out with one matt for half-an-hour on a cool balcony you can make no greater mistake than to return with a hushed face." S The anxious dowager, who was preparing to depart with her daugh- ter, had just; risen from her seat by the window as Miranda stepped over the sill into the ball-room. She sat down again, however, for she had a. word or two to say concern- ing Miranda's appearance. This time she passed over tho sill into the ball-room; but' she was holding the glove tight against her breast, and she had a feeling that Charnock very surely knew that at some time she would send it to him. , ‘Miranda slowly raised her eyes and they glistened with something other than the starlight.

Many a, man has lost a dollar in trying to save fire cents. Most people mike a, specialty of offering explanations that do not explain. Many physicians place ear trou- ble very high ia the list of the cau- ses of vertigo, and whenever it is complained of the ea.r examination should be extremely thorough. It may be simply mechanical in its oe- igin-the presence of hardened wax or a, foreign body in the ear; or there may be seriou,s trouble in tho labyrinth of the ear, calling for irrv. mediate and radical treatment.-- Youth’s Companion. When vertigo is due to eye-strain it is usually not very severe, but persistent, growing better if tho eyes are kept shut, and disappear- for a timewhen they are rested. As soon as the eyes have been properly fittedowith glasses this type of ver- tigo will immediately cease. When vertigo accompanies cute- mia it is probably cerebral, that is to say, a direot oomyequen'ce of a. poor supply of blood to the brain. Vertigo is often one of the teym- ptoms complained of by the nerv- ous or anemic patiénts. If there are found at the same tune the USU- al Arccomparnirritiats of the nervous state," such as a history of over- strain, a, lack of nerve force, a con- stant feeling of fatigue, the vertigo may be (safely considered part oi the general condition, especially if it is rather mild in type but oceur- ring, often. It may be gastric in its origin, coming on suddenly after a full meal, and accompanied with head- ache and sometimes dimness of vis, ion. Gastric and bilious vertigos are relieved by any treatment that enables the system to do its work properly and carry off the poisons that are producing autotoxication. Vertigo is sometimes one among other indications that there is Some serious disorder of the brain or spinal cord, and it is also often one of the symptoms of heart dis- ease. In these cases, of course, the organic disease is recognized, and there is no doubt as to the rea- son for this particular symptom a- mong the many others. In many instances, however, people will complain of recurring attacks of vertigo which seem otherwise quite well, and it is only by careful ques- tioning and examination that the physician will be able to determine what is the root of his pstiet1t's trouble. - Vertigo is not a, disease, but a symptom. Its underlying causes are so numerous that it, would be difficult to enumerate them am. It, is aloss of sense of equilibrium of the body, accompanied by ex- treme dizziness, with a. loss of tho power to walk in a straight line, or, in excessive cases, even to stand up, and also by nausea. and vomit- ing. ~It is a, symptom so annoy- ing and even terrifying to those suffering from it that the discovery of the reason back of it becomes one of great importance. to explain those other reasons be- fore her guests began to take their leave of her; and so the opportu- nity was lost. (To be continued.) VERTIGO Bringing back on the farm more than is sold is & practice which has not escaped progressive tillers of the soil. So far as applying the practice to the farms concerned, the "imports" should exceed the “an Turn “might furrows and plough the fields the long way in lands. Never follow the practice of plough- ing around fields. Turn back fur- rows into the land level and free from any depressions and old dead furrows. Fall ploughed land should be left rough over winter to better catch and hold the snow. _ In ploughing one should seek to turn over a narrow furrow rather than a wide one. To "cut and sever” is bad policy in ploughing. Turn the furrow slices on edge par- tially; never over flat. Let one fur. row slice lop over nicely onto an- other, leaving th sort of dividing line between them to catch and hold rainfall. This applies more forcib- ly to the ploughing of sod land and to fall ploughing than it does to spring-plowed land and that is to be immediately made into a. seed bed. a stiff yellow or reddish clay that is largely impervious to the air and water. To turn this kind of sub- soil up to the surface is a, mistake and requires several years to be- come productive. Such land is much benefited by the use of a subsoil plow about once every three years. Such plow should loosen up the sub- soil but not throw it up to the sur- face. Clover and especially alfalfa makes an excellent subsoiler for such land. Not all soils, however, should be ploughed deep . Prairie and loamy soil will stand deeper ploughing than heavy clay soils., This latter kind is frequently underlaid with Ploughing not only loosens up the soil but more of it is thus exposed to the action of the sun, air and frost. Stubble, weeds, ete., are buried and so changed into humus. The water holding capacity of the soil is increased and rainfall en- ters the soil easier and faster. On deep ploughed land more of the rainfalls enters the soil without run- ning off than on shallow plowed land. i (ht the farm bmmwmuwma WHAT PLOUGHING DOES. 9 QWW WMWWM 9 FEEDING FOR FERTILIZING wt :5: its. iaiat a 3-3 , a; Mr-s " Bml RRI, BS' AER K%l s, tp Mi Stil $8 * ”is.
