HIGH COLLARS.rmwrt or the Wearing Apparel Cauee«

M»oy Dtusiiss.That a stiff collar may presa again« t

the pueuinogastrlc, or vagus, nerve tosuch a degree as to cause serioussymptoms such as loss of strength,neuralgic pains, nnusea and fjfsj an¬

esthesia, «s the belief of I>r. F. B.Brubaker, as stated lu the MedicalMirror (St. Louis). IVople who habit¬ually wear high collars without exper¬iencing any of these III effects may besurprised to learn the harm that thisseemingly Innocent article of haberdashery can wreck. Says Dr. Bru¬baker:"It Is a noteworthy fact that all the

more important vital structures of tbebody are safeguarded from Injury, en-eased within bony walls or hiddendeep under layers of muselés."The Important functions of the

pneumogastrle nerve render It neces¬

sary that in its passage through tbeneck It should DC protected from in-Jury. We therefore tlnd It enclosedwithin the same sheath M the carotidartery and placed betIIOSII the arteryand Internal Jugular vein, lying pos¬terior to both. By this provision thenerve Is placed between fluid on eith¬er side, this arrangement providinga degree of elasticity uncommon innerve protection."The effect of compression on struc¬

tures In this locality was shown tothe ancient writers on medicino, butthe phenomena observed wen« ascribedto the artery rather than the nerve.For Instance. It was noted then, as

now, that pressure on this part of theneck aras followed by a sensation ofwant of air, by deep and laboriousbreathing, rapid heart primarily, to DOafterward retarded with sometimes usense of sinking over the precordialregion. (Continuing the pressure oc¬

casions a deep-seated benumbing sen¬

sation In the head, as if one were aboutto lose consciousness, tin strie symp¬toms, amounting to nausea, etc.. even

vomiting, may arise with lassitude,languor, lowness of spirits: and wantof repose, remaining for an hour or

two then gradually wearing away. Itwill thus be seen that pressure over

.he carotid artery in the neck is fol¬lowed by various symptoms."After describing several eases in

which these and similar symptomsseem to have been caused by Wearinghigh, close Siting collars. l>r. Burbakerremind» his renders that they also ac¬

company many diseases, such as

those of the lungs. In which disintegra¬tion of the ] nenmogastric nerve is ¦feature, and he asserts that we are

warranted in believing that irritationdue tit prolonged pressure may ad ina similar way. 11«' goes on to say:"Believing that collars extremely

high and tight might become an ex¬

citing cause of irritation to this Impor¬tant nerve in certain cases, and beingstimulated to further research alongthis line by the experience of my pa¬tient, whose difficulty was undoubted¬ly cause by continuous pressure uponthis nerve by his collar. I believe itto be the cause of at least transitorysymptoms in such people as bookkeep¬ers, writers, profesaional men andothers whose various callings requireConstant and Interrupted stooping amibending of the neck.

It Is not necessary to suppose In sup¬port of our argument that irritationor pressure must be direct and imme¬diate upon the paeumogastric, thenerves supplying the integument ofthe neck and the overlying skin beingat least simply supplied by nervous

energy, which communicates with thepneumognstrie. All irritation and allpressure, therefore, when of sufficientdegree, must become reflected there¬on to the detriment of the Mitïerer.".Literary Digest.

Lvns Rainbow Sorti In (ionrgln.A curious and unusual phenomenon,

in the form of a rainbow for which themoon instead of the sun furnished thelight, was observed here on the nightof June 10. A heavy rainstorm, ac¬

companied by considerable thunder.occurred just before moonrise. As theclouds retired to the west the luminaryrose and the bow was tirst observed,only the extremities for about twenty-five degrees l>oing visible, the moon atthat time being concealed behind a

small cloud. For about twenty min¬utes the bow increased in brightness,and at the end of that time could be

clearly traced throughout its entirelength. At each end the red and bluecolors could be plainly distinguished,but the remainder of the arc showedonly as a light streak across the clouds.Tbe conditions for the phenomenonwere almost ideal, the moon being buta few days past full, the cloud screen

occupying the proper position, and, as
