The Pulse.

Every person should know how to as
certain the state of the pulse in health,
then by comparing it with what it is
when he is ailing, he may have some
idea of the urgency of his case. Parents
should know the healthy pulse of each
child-as now and then person is born
with q peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and
the very case in hand may be that pecu-
iarity. An infants pulse is one hun
dred and forty; child of seven, about
eighty; and from twenty to sixty years
it is seventy beats a minute, declining to
sixty at four score. A healthfrll grown
persons pulse beats seventy times in a
minute; there may be good health down
to sixty; but il the pulse always exceeds
seventy there is disease; the machine
is working itself out; there is fever or
inflammation somewhere, and the body
is feeding on Itself, 40 i'll consumption,
when the pulse is quick-that is, over
seventy, gradually increasing, with de-
creased chances of cure, until it reaches
one hundred and ten or one hundred
and twenty, when death comes before
many days. When the pulse is over
seventy for months, and there is slight
cough, the lungs are affected. The
pulse decreases when recumbent posi-
tion is assumed for any length of time,
and is increased by exercise, stimulants,
and the presence of food in the stomach.

Earthquakes Supplying Water.

The Santa Barbara (Cal.) Republican
has this passage: Many people are op-
posed to earthquakes, and we include
ourselves among the number, but in
this, as in everything else, we find some
one to differ with us. This gentleman
is j. p. Walker, who has a ranch near
Rincon. Before our earthquakes he had
a fine wheat field which, up to that time,
had never had flowing water or spring
of any kind; all the water it received
came from the rains. After the earth
quake Mr.. Walker was both surprised
and pleased to find alargo spring flowing
a good volume of soft water in this field
where water had never existed before,
and, being on high ground, he thinks of
conveying it in pipes to his residence.
Col. Hollister tells us of a similar oc-
currence on ranch belonging to him,
several years ago, where volume of
water was spouted to height OF nearly
forty feet for several days after the earth
quake, and there has been flowing
stream there ever since.

Ice 10000 Years Old.

The altitude of the Stevens mine on
Mount Mcclellan, Colorado, is 500
feet. At the depth of from sixty to two
hundred feet the crevice matter, con-
sisting of silica, calcite, and ore, to-
gether with the surrounding wall rock,
is solid frozen mass. Mcclellan is one
of the highest eastern spurs of the
snowy range; it has the form of horse
shoe, with bold escarpment of felts-
phatic rock nearly 1000 feet high, which
in some places is nearly perpendicular.
Nothing unusual occurred until dis
tance of some eighty or ninety feet had
been made; then the frozen territory
was reached, and it has continued for
over 200 feet. There are no indications
of thaw, summer or winter. The whole
frozen territory is surrounded by hard,
massive rock, and the lode itself is as
hard and massive as the rock.
The miners, being unable to excavate
the frozen material with pick or drill,
found that the only way was to kindle
a large wood fire at night against the
back end of the tunnel, and in the morn
ing take out the disintegrated ore. This
has been the mode of mining for more
than two years. The tunnel is over $50
feet deep, and there is no diminution of
the frost. There is, so far as can be
seen, no opening or channel through
which the frost could possibly have
reached such depth from the surface
There are other mines in the same
vicinity in like frozen state. The
theory is that the rock was laid down in
glacial times, when there was cold
enough to freeze the very earth's heart.
In that case the mine is an ice house
whose stores have remained unthawed
for at least 500 years The pheno-
mena is not uncommon or inexplicable
when openings can be found through
which current of air can pass; but
cases which, like the Brandon frozen
well and the Stevens mine, show no way
for fair currents, are still referred to
imbeddedicebergs and the glacial period.

The Hired Girl,

Ahired girl should be ingenious. One
of them, in the employ of West street
family, Danbury, discovered an unique
way of extracting teeth. She suffered
nearly a whole week with an aching
tooth, but had not the courage to go to
dentist. One afternoon it troubled
her SO much as to force her to look for a
remedy, and she finally hit upon plan.
With piece of stout twine she made q
loop, which she put about her tooth.
Then she took bit of soap and rubbed
it on the floor, opposite the back door.
The other end of the twine she fastened
to the knob of the closed door. Then
she took a position on the soaped boards
and commenced to lean back. When
she had acquired slope Of about forty
five degrees, the soap suddenly took
hold, and she came down on the floor
with such force as to knock pair of ten
dollar vases from n mantel upstairs.
And there she sat, reaching out for
breath, when the affrighted family made
their appearance, while the offending
tooth dangled from a string against the
door

The Female Population.

Only the United States, Belgium, and
Italy have more men than women. This
is attri outed to tho wear and tear of
hard work, which kills off SO many of
the fair sex of these countries. Accord
ing to the census of Dec. 81, 1871,
italy had a population of 26,S01, ,154,
yielding percentage of 1927 men and
40. % women, fifty eight per cent. of old old
INT. t~n of married couples, and six per
cent. of the widowed, of whom the
widows more than doubled the widow
ers. In France there is relatively the
smallest number of births, though old
persons are there preserved longer than
in other countries, twenty-five per cent.
of it's inhabitants being over fifty years,
and seven per thousand upward of
eighty. In the United States there are
only eleven per cent. upward of fifty,
while the young of both sexes only
reaching twenty constitute fifty pei
cent. of the entire population.

How They Did 1t.

The first successful experiment in the
way of outre advertising was made about
fifteen years ago by tobacconist, who
adopted the following method: De-
string to have his goods introduced ex-
tensively among the retail dealers, he
employed number of men to "work, !"
as the politicians say, the various wards
of the city. One of these canvassers
would enter q cigar store and ask the
proprietor for a paper of IS fine
cut" The tobacconist in all probability
had never heard of the article, but
which the canvasser contemptuously
declined. In about an hour another
customer would come in and make a
similar demand, and before the week
was over the proprietor would find so
many inquiries for this special brand
that he was compelled to make pur-
chase, and as the article was only sold in
large packages, it became necessary for
him, in order to effect q sale, to recon-
mend it to his customers, and so the
article became quite popular. The can
vassers were oftentimes compelled to
buy, but as the goods were returned to
the manufacturer and resold, very little
was lost on the transaction. Ten men,
therefore, at a salary of So a week, for
those were the days of low wages, could
in three months have induced every
cigar store proprietor to make a pur-
chase, and thus at an expense of hardly
81 ZOO the goods were effectually intro
duced to the trade.
1t is related that Day G. Martin, of
London, caused their wares to be ex-
tensively introduced by having an ele-
CANT equipage, with footmen, etc., drive
up to a store with great clatter and
cracking of whips. One of the footmen
would descend, and in loud voice ask
for pot of ebay & Martins patent
backing" The storekeeper, unac-
customed to have such an aristocratic
class of customers, approaches respect
fully and is very sorry that he has not
those particular manufacturers wares
on had, but he can recommend something
equally good. "No, no." cries the
footman in decided tones, "master is
very particular and insists on using that
polish but as I'm here now, don't
mind waiting if you'll send out and get
pot" The shopkeeper, fancying that
by little courtesy he may secure the
custom of John Thomas's master, is only
too delighted, and resolves to have
stock of Day & Martins on hand against
similar contingencies.

Presidential Candidates.

The New York S,m says: The names
of the gentlemen from whom the re-
spective parties will be pretty sure to
select their candidates for President next
year arenot many. Here is catalogue:
REPUBMoANs.-B. II. Bristow, o. P.
Morton, e. B. Washburne, e. ID. Nor
gan, H. Wilson, j. G. Blaine.
DEMocRATs.-T A. Hendricks, A. G..
Thurman, W. Allen, L. f. Bayard, j. S.
Black, S. j. Tilden.
Each of these lists seems complete as
the case stands at present. 1t is possible,
but not probable, that new men may
come up in the course of next fall and
winter. For instance, if Gen. Hayes
should be elected Governor of Ohio by
a very large majority, he would take q
place in the Republican list. Most like
ly some one of these twelve gentlemen
will be the next President.

solemn wildernesses of the great West.
"House? L amt got no house."
"Well, where do you liye9"

and wild turkey, and drink out of the
Mississippi" And he added: cts

month and 1 hear there is a whole fam
lily come in about fifty miles down the

A /" Sham - Wedding.

The Washington correspondent of the
Rochester Express writes Speaking of
shoddy in matrimonial goods reminds
me of wedding which occurred here
the other day. The morning papers
stated that the evening before the ac-
complished Miss Dash, youngest daugh-
ter of our distinguished townsman Gen
eral Dash, who is here in the interest Of
one of the largest manufacturing COM
panies in the world, Ivas united in the
bonds of matrimony to the Hon. Blank,
a highly respected and well-known gov
ernment official. The happy couple will
make an extended tour to our principal
summer resorts, terminating with trip
across the water. The display of pres
ents and the numerous gathering of
friends were quite noticeable. This was
ali very well, and in the main the truth,
but not the unvarnished truth by any
pened to know the female party to the
contract, so 1 began to strip off the tin
sci in the interest of few old maids of
my acquaintance, and this is the result:
Miss Dash is the daughter of sewing
machine agent, who isas poora asa church
mouse, if he is the representative of one
of the largest manufacturing companies
in the world. Sir Charles Henry is a
postmaster in Prince George county,
Nd. They visited our principal sum
mer resorts-Harvey's, Freund's and
several other ice cream saloons; and to
make shortcut" and at the same
time save expense, he rowed his Dull
cinea across the Anacosta river, which
constituted his Atlantic trip. The only
present L heard of was the bill of the
solitary hackman who conveyed them to
church; and as for the gathering of
friends there was quite a number of
ganains collected when the old man and
the hackman had little tilt about the
"fare."

PREVENTION. N.-Prevention of cruelty
to animals, prevention of cruelty to
children, and now it is suggested that
there be society for the prevention of
cruelty to women, with special reference
to clerks and others who are required to
stand constantly, even when their duties
do not make this always needful. HUI
manity is opposed to cruelty, whether it
be to man, woman, child, or animal;
and some modification of a rule that
saleswomen should nevers sit down would
be, to say the least, humane.

FROM THE woMEN's SIDE.

FROM THE woMEN's SIDE.
o let me smile little, pray
Just little, and while may,
Even as a child smiles: after to-day
shall have whole years to weep in.
o let me talk like a child, unchid:
After to-day twill all be hid;
No hand will lift ap the coffin-lid
OF the silence shall sleep in.
In Portsmouth harbor tho good ship rides,
Rocked safely upon the placid tides,
AS love in happy heart abides
Moving with each emotion,
With voices and hands alive all DER:
And to-morrow-perhaps for evermore-
shall look out from a desolate shore
Upon an empty ocean.
o love, my hero and my saint,
My knight Of the white shield, without taint
This woman-heart turns sick and faint
Although my lips may fail not:
see the rocks under smiling seas,
hear tempest in every breeze,
feel the icebergs as they freeze
In the deeps whore ship can sail not.
Strong arm, pure heart, and silent tongue!
o lonely years that stretch out so long
One cry, as OF lost existence,
And my soul sits down before its doom,
AS white ghost sits at the door OF tomb:
No moan, no shrek, no tears, no gloom,
Only still persistence.
Be Of good cheer. Sail on, sail on,
Unto life or death; for both are one
To the infinite faith in sweet days gone,
To the infinite love that folds thee.
These girlish arms are weak know,
But my heart is strong as wel-bent bows;
And whittier thou goest will go,
In my spirit that upholds thee.
Sail on, sail on, through the frozen seas,
To endless labors, and little ease
Come back triumphant, if Heaven so please,
Or with unwon goal inglorious;
Only come back NO. Should God say
That he has crowned thee another way,
Love see, beyond our night His day,
And We are yet victorious,
Miss Mttlock.
