Pulse is throbbing of the arteries
caused by intermitting impulses COM
municated to the blood by the heart
The arteries being elastic expand for
an instant with the Increased amount
of blood forced into them by each heart
beat, and for the same reason contract
the moment after, producing thus
series OF wave-like movements from
the heart outwards toward all parts of
the body. The enlargement of the az
terry by the passing waves of blood lifts
it somewhat from its bed, SO that it be-
comes perceptible to the touch. With
in the limits of health there may be
considerable variation in the frequency
of the pulse, the number of pulses per
minute differing with age, sex, stature,
muscular action. mental action. the
state of the digestive process aud the

by the following table, given by Car
penter:

In inflammatory or acute diseases
the pulse may rise to 120 or even 100
in the adult, and becomes so frequent
in the child that it cannot be counted.
Muscular exertion, mental excitement,
digestion, alcoholic drink. and eleva-
ton above the sea level accelerate the
pulse, and as a rule it is more frequent
in the morning than in the evening. 1t

A Perfect Cup of Coffee.

Coffee is the fine issue of Eastern hos
pitality--the climax of the visit. One
recognizes, on entering, the sound of the
coffee mortar; for in every properly
regulated household in the East the cof
fee is not ground, but pounded to an
impalpable powder, having been roasted
that morning, each day its provision,
and pounded the moment it is needed.
And no one who has not drunk it there
and thus can presume to judge Of the
beverage.
, In England we roast it till it is black,
grind it as we would cattle food, boiling
it like malt for beer, and when we drink
the bitter. and unaromatic fluid which
remains, say we have taken our coffee.
The Eastern coffee-drinker knows all the
grades of berry and preparation as a
silk merchant knows the quality of silk !;
the caffeejee knows that to roast it q
shade beyond the point where it breaks
crisply under the pestle is to spoil it, and
when the slow pulverizing is done, each
measure goes into its little copper ibrik,
receives its dose of boiling water, Just
one of the tiny cups full rests an instant
on the Goals to restore the heat lost in
the iorik, and is poured into the eggshell
cup, and so it came to US, each cup in
gold-enameled holder. The rule in
these lands seems to be that few things
are worth doing, but these few are
worth doing well, and there Is no waste
of life or material by over-haste-PGQ
