The Pulse.

MANY erroneous impressions prevail
about the pu lse rs indicative of health or
disease, a common notion being that Its
beating IS are much more uniform than
they really are. Frequency varies with
age. In the newborn infant the beat
irgs are from l30 to l40 per minute; in
the second year, from 100 to lis; from
the seventh to the fourteenth year,
eighty to ninety; from the fourteenth to
the twcnty-iirst year, from seventy-tive
to eighty-tive; from the twenty. first
to the sixtieth year, from seventy to
seventy-tive After that period the
pulse is generally thought to decline,
but medical authorities differ radically
on this point, having expressed the most
contradictory opinions. Young persons
are often found whose pulses a;e below
sixty, and there have been many in
stance of pulses habitually reaching loo,
or not exceeding fifty, without apparent
disease. Sex, especially in adults, IN
fiuepces the pulse, and in women 1t beats
more rapidly than in men. Muscular
eycrtion, even position, materially al
fects the pulse. Its average frequency
in healthy men is, when andins'
eighty-one; when sitting, seventy one
when lying, sixty-six per minute; in
women of the same age and in the same
positions, ninety-one, eighty-four and
scventy-nine. In sleep the pulse is con-
siderably slower than in wakefulness
In certain diseases, sucn as acute dropsy,
for example, there may be $50, even 2ot
beats; in other diseases, such as apo
plexy and some organic affections Of the
heart, there may be no more than TWEEN
ty or thirty per mintue. Thus. one o.
the commoncst diagnostic signs is l'ab!t
to deceive the most experienced practl
| tiOner.

The use Of food by different persons

The use OF food by different persons
should be regulated in quantity or char
acter, or in both, according to their ages,
health and occupations. the seasons and
the climate in which they live. Nilk is
the oniy perfect TODD for inralts. tt is
the best food for children and youth up ,
to the age of sixteen. Old people are
weaker in their digestive powers, partly
because their whole system is weaker:
and partly because Of their diminished
muscular activity. Their food should
be less in quantity than that used by
Younger persons, and of easier dlges-
tion.
In summer and in warm climates less
food by ope-third is needed, the tone OF
the system being lowered. and persons
thus being unable to digest or to assimt-
late rs much as in winter aud in colder
latitudes. So also fat, sugar and starch
the latter includes fine hour-beins
mainly Matchmaking elements, should be
but little used in summer and in troplcal
regions, and largely used in winter
and in cold climates. Corn bread,
which contains Large per ceat. OF fat
is better adapted for food in winter tna9
in summer. Shoemakers, tailors ana
people of sedentary habits generally
need less food, and what is more easily
digested, than the farmer and persons
who work in the open air. Still, every
body should bave enough active exer-
else to digest generous diet. A thinker
needs good supply of brain food, sucn
as is literally furnished in oatmeal; but
he must not use his brain at the expense
of vigorous muscles, tor it is muscles
that have to work not only the stomach:
! but the lungs and heart. The SICK, OF
course, need food carefully adapted to
their particular condition, anG those
who are not in full health may greatly
help themselves by rejecting whatever
they find injurious to them.

Fasting in india.

The land of preternatural feats
of the useless order is the Orient, not
withstanding the peerless enterprise and
shrewdness popularly supposed to be
exhibited by denizens Of the western
climes. A writer in the Northern Chr1s-
tian Advocate gives some account OF the
feats Q sect OF fanatics in India are &C
customed to perform. For ages the
ascetics of that country have, more or
less, prac.iccd fasting from food, water
ard air; and the school OF Hindoo phil
osophv known rs Yoga has many
volumes of instructions in the. various
degrees of the art. The Hlndoos say
that Yoga means mental abstraction;
silent prayer or the union OF mind
to soul. The motive for the abstinence
referred to is to secure the absorption OF
the devotee into the deity, whatever
that NAV mean. The instruction books
contain minute directions how person
is to Or, pare for his fast, whether Tor
forty days or for longer periods OF time.
The writer in the Adrocate has one OF
these volumes. and curious work II is.
It is asserted that in the fasting state the
persons are not poisoned by snake bites,
which might prove that the circulation
was really SUSPENDED, and that snake
poison operates by entering the clrcula-
tion of the blood. The person remains
unaffected by the cut ing Of weapons,
ard gives no SYMPTOMS OF pain when
brought in contact with lire. tie can
not be drowned when submerged IN
water. nor does he dry up when exposed
to the air. The Hindoo theory is that
the Yoga, whose functions OF respiration
and circulation are suspended, IS de-
nriyed of the power of committing sin
in act, thought or speech. a man Is an
adept who can suspend respiration for
i've minutes and twenty seconds. At
the fifth stage Of progress respiration
can be suspended for ten minutes, and
at the sixth stage for two hours, ut the
seventh stage Tor twenty-four hours.
and he reaches the state OF Samadhl
when he does not breathe for twelve
davs. The Yogas live without water,
food or air while in this condition. They
have, however, by ages of observation
of the habits of temperance among tor.
Did animals, learned what food IS most
nutritive, and even the habits OF resplra-
ton of various animals.
A case well authenticated, apparently,
is that of young man who allowed
himself to be buried, sewed up IN
sbroud, in hole three feet long, two
and q half feet wide and a yard deep.
Over him were placed two heavy slabs
Of stone, six feet long, several inches
thick. and broad enough to cover the
mouth of the grave. A little earth was
Mustered over the whole in order to ex.
cludc the air. A building was then
erected covering the spot, and the oool
was closed and sealed. Guards were
stationed outside to sec that no ont
came to succor the buried devotee. Al
the end cf a month the man was duE
up. His hair had not grown, his hand:
were crampcd, and his teeth SO set tina
they had to be pried' open. The Worl
of resuscitating him was successiull.
accomplished. The performers OF thes
pastimcs are looked upon in their coun
try as holy beings, and entitled t.
great regard and considera.ion.-2re

NIGHT IL the Moor.

At last, however, night sets in. Crate
fully it comes after the sun has gathered
up his shifting rays and gone down to
his rest. All ut once we are plunged
into comparative obscurity, for again
there is no twilight to stay the steps
of departing day. At one stride comes
the dark. But, looking up into the sky,
we behold vast orb, which pours down
a lnilder and more beneicent splendor
than the great lord of the system. 1t IS
such a moon as we tcrrcstrials cannot
boast, for it is not less than thirteen
times as large and luminous rs our own.
There it hangs in the armament, with.
out apparent change o! place, as II
liked in its everlasting seat" But not
without change of surface. For this
globe is q painted panorama, and turn
Ing round majestically on its axis, pre-
sents its oceans and continents in grand
succession. AS Europe and Africa,
ocking the Mediterranean in their en-
brace, roll away to the ri gAt, the stormy
Atlantic offers its waters to view, then
he two Americas, with their huge for
ests and vast praries pass under inspec-
ton. Then the grand basin Of the Pa
cifc, lit up with island fires, meets the
gazer's eye, and as this glides over the
scene the eastern rim of Asia, the upper
portion of Australia, sail into sight. The
Indian ocean, aud afterward the Arabian
sea spread themselves out in their sub
dued splendor, and thus in four and
twenty hours, "the great rotundity We
thread" turns its pictured countcnancc
to the moon, and grandly repays the
listening lunarians by repeating, to the
best of It's ability, the story of is birth.
Nor is the sky less marvellous in another
respect. For the absence of any atmos
pheric diffusion ct light permits tho
consultations to shine out with dis
tinctness which is never paralleled on
earth. They glitter like diamond point:
set ina armament of ebony. Stars ant
clusters which we never see by tht
naked eye flock into view, and crown
the heavens.-Br:tih Quarterly.

A pretty fancy, says the Bazar, is the
use Of satin ribbon of different widths
on corsages; tor instance, at the throat,
or at the end of the square neck, is
square bow of ribbon two inches wide;
at the waist is rosette of many loops of
very narrow ribbon not more than half
an inch wide; while on the basque below
the waist is very wide bow Of sash rib
bon in two dropping loops closely strap

each sleeve it matches that worn at the
throat, and is now placed on the inside
