The Pulse.

Many erroneous impressions prevail about the pulse as indicative of health or disease, a common notion being that its beatings are much more uniform than they really are. Frequency varies with ace In the newborn infant the beat ipgs are from l30 to LAO per minute; ln the second year, from 100 to ll5; from the seventh to the fourteenth year, eighty to ninety; from the fourteenth to the twentystirst year. from seventy ,hve f,.se to eighty-6ve; from the twenty hrst to the sixtieth year, from seventy to seyenty-fiye 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 e below sixty, and there have been many in- stance of pulses habitually reaching luO,
 or not exceeding fifty, without apparent disease. Sex, especially in adults, ln- l fiuences the pulse, and Tn women It beats more rapidly than in men. Muscular
 exertion, even position, materially ai- fects the pulse. Its average frequency
 in healthy men is. when anding I eiehty-one; when sitting, seventy one l when lying. sixty-six per minute; il women of the same age and in the same
 positions, ninety-one, eighty-four anG
 seyenty-nine. In sleep the pulse is con sideraf lv slower than in valentines l In certain diseases. such as acute dropsy
 for example, there may be l5O, even sO
 beats; in other diseases, such as apo I plexy and some organic affections of tn
 heart, there may be no more than twen tv or thirty per minute Thus. one Q the commonest diagnostic signs IS liabl Ito d.seive tue most experience! psac' itioncr.

An EmperOr's Joke.

The German emperor, after inspect
 ing the new barracks of the Second
 Guard dragoons in the Pioneerstrasse, in Berlin, con6rived, while chatting
 with the officers in the mess-room, to
 write a few words with a chalk pencil upon the tunic of the senior regimental captain, unperceived by that officer.
 This done, his majesty left the room,
 laughing heartily, accompanied by the colonel of the regiment, Prince Frederick,
 of Hohenzollern, whereupon the sen1cr
 staff officer present walked up to Captain
 Von S.. and, to his utter consternation,
 proceeded to unfasten and remove hls
 epaulettes. Unconscious of having
 committed any dereliction of duty, Won s. remained motionless while this ominous operation was being performed,
 but his painful perplexity gave place to inbilant exultation when lthe lieutenant colonel produced pair of majors epau' | lettes. and dexterously buttoDed them to h's shoulders. The words hastily | scribbled by the emperor upon Captair Von S.'s uniform were "Zum Majol befoerdert'' (promoted to major), ane l the subsequent details of this genie surprise had been arranged by hi majesty beforehand with their execu tant. 1t is said that, in his rejoicing 8 l his unexpected advancement, the newly made major called up the senior non commissioned officer of his squadron and said to him: !" Sergeant Major, th I squadron is relieved from duty for to I day. Let the men have as much t
 drink as they please. pay for all"

Food.

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. Milk IS the only perfect food for infants. It 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 one-third is needed, the tone of the system being lowered. and persons thus being unable to digest or to assimi- late as much as in winter and in colder attitudes So also fat, sugar and starch the latter includes fine four-being mainly heat-making elements, should be | but little used in summer and in tropical regions, and largely used in winter and in cold climates. Corn bread. | which contains a large per cent. of fat is better adapted for food in winter than 1 in summer Shoemakers, tailors and
 people of sedentary habits generally l need less fOcd, and what Is more easily digested, than the farmer and persons
 who work in the open air. Still, every
 body should have enough active exfr- else to digest generous diet. A thinker
 needs good supply of brain food, such
 as is literally furnished in oatmeal; but
 he must not use his brain at the expenss of vigorous muscles, tor it is muscles
 that have to work not only the stomach
 but the lungs and ht art The sick, O
 course, need food carefully adapted tt their particular condition, anc tnos' Il who are not iu fuil health may great'l

Through Life.

 Entering life, we come fearfully Into the new and unknown, Trembling and terrified, feariully Lifting lite's burden alone; Bravng its dangers more cheeriully When we the stronger have grown. Still like old cal tn so receivingly Taking the bad and the good Taking, nor choosing, believingly Ever the best as we could; Sadly repenting them grievingly Striving to do as we should. Long may we wonder suspectingly, Ingrates whom passions enslave; Scornfully, proudly, rejectingly, Serving the mercy God gave; Nor look to Him who protectingly His arm forth stretches to save. Thoughtlessly. carelessly, musingly, Playing at lite's checkered game; Ever the tally-sheet loosingly Scoreth 6 list to our name; Brayely our conscience accusingly Stirreth our senses with shame. Looking to conscience inquiringly, Thoughtlessness seemeth sin; Working and striving untiringly, So must the battle begin; Faith, hope aLd love will inspiringly Teach us how life we may win. May we our duty do dreadiully, Stren gthening, careworn, or pressed; Treading our way ever carefully Through snarcs to home of the blest; Hopefully, cheertully, prayerfully, Finding in heaven a rest Striving with sin, sin enslavingly Holding us ever so fast; Looking for mercy most cravingly Through tho dark clouds sweeping past. Tenderly, lovingly, savingly, Jesus redeemeth at last.

On tl,e shore.

 Down on the golden sand, With careless feet, Through sunny hours they stand The children sweet Gently, as if at play, The green, gray waves Make music in the bay And kiss the caves. Little the children know Upon the shore How, in mid-sea, winds blow And pillows roar; How ships meet sad mischance, And sailors drown; This blessed ignorance Is childhood,s crown. Beside another sea These children stand, From all its fears still free, On childhood's land Oh, mighty sea oi lie, Oh, perllous ndes, Where storms are always rife And death abides. Fall softly on the land Where childhood fingers, Building it's domes ot sand With rosy fingers. For children should not hear Your raging wild, Nor see-whose eyes are clear Your tide defed- Nor mark, with hearts that bleed, How souls go down; This ignorance indeed Is childhooi's crown
