too, at different periods of the day, the
greatest frequency of the pulse beats oc
curing about the middle of the day, and
the least about midnight. All other things
being equal the pulse is quicker in the
morning than in the evening. In condi-
tions of profound coma, morbid sleep or
lethargy the pulse beats have dropped as
low as IL in Il minute, and they have
mounted up as high as 200 in children af
ficted with water on the brain. Since
his injury the Presidents pulse has fuc-
tuated between ninety-four beats a min
ute to one hundred and twenty-six. This
last is about twice as frequent as the pulse
beats in state of health and in a quiet,
recumbent position.
Frequency Of "respiratation" is like
wise a feature Of the bulletins. Since he
was wounded his respiration has ranged
nineteen to twenty four breathingS Il
minute. In health and when free from
any exciting cause, the number of breath
ings per minute is from fourteen to eigh-
teen; but in conditions of disease it
sometimes falls as low as seyeu breathS
a minute, and rises as high as a hundred.

The Meaning of some Medical Terms.


Some readers of the REVIEW finding
technical terms contained in the bulletins
from the White House somewhat new to
them, and also the details Of medical pro-
cesses relating to symptoms with which
they are but imperfectly acquainted. This
is evidenced by occasional notes of inqui-
ry. "What is tympanCis?' 'What is
peritOnitis?" F'IIow do the doctors find
out his temperatures and SO on. 1t will
serve a popular purpose to explain some
of these matters. The midnight bulletin
between Sunday and Monday, July 3rd
and 4th, said: ''Some tynpanitis is rec
ognized." This caused great uneasiness
to the doctors.
The meaning Of it was that the abdo-
men Of the patient was swelling up like
drum, the swelling being due to an ac-
emulation of air or gasses in the intesti-
nal tube or else in the peritoneum; and
this is considered very unfavorable sign
in injuries like those of the President.
The tympanitis happily did not last long
enough, and was not sufficiently great to
cause extreme danger. The word comes
from tympan, drum-and the swelling
from inflammation is variously called ''tym-
pany," 'EWind-dropsy" and ''drum-belly."
''Peritonitis, which the doctors fear
ed also, is an is an inflammation of the per-
itoneum, a membrane that envelopes the
intcstines and other abdominal organs,
and generally the interior Of the abdomen.
This membrane takes its name from two
Greek words which express its meaning
around, and to stretch; peritoneum,
therefore, meaning in this instance "a
membrane that stretches around or about
the intestines. Inflammation of that mem
brane, or ''pertonitis," always marks a
dangerous phase of disease or injury
from wounds.
The temperature of "a sick or wounded
person indicates the presence or absence
of the infamatory condition, and III cas-
es like this, is watched with great solci-
tude. The temperature is asccrtained by
placing the bulb of a small thermometer,
specially adapted to the purpose, in the
mouth of the patient, or sometimes un-
der the armpt. the average natural heat
of the human body in Il good condition OF
health is 9Sa degrees of Farenheits scale.
1t is usually marked on our thermome-
ter as ''blood heat" at the 9Sth degree.
In very intlamed conditions, the temper
ature of patients has been observed to
rise as high as los degrees in children
and to 107 in adults. Anything above
104 or los is regarded us very serious by
physicians. The Presidents temperature
has risen several times to los, or ten Gle.
grees above the normal or natural. Ii
Asiatic cholera the temperature sinks Us
low rs II, when even the breath of the
patient feels cold
The fluctuations of the pulse are noteC
carefully in the daily bulletins. In gooC
health, and when the body is qniet, the
natural beats of the pulse of an adult
male are about sixty to seventy minute
There are considerable differences, how
ever, even in healthy persons, according
to the comparative quiet or activity o
the body, and whether standing, sitting
or lying down. There are differences

Hard soap by a Cold Process.

Mr.. r. F. Fairthorn, Pm. d., has contrib
uted the following recipe to the Druggists
Circular:
a good hard soap can be easily produced
il four pounds of olive or sweet almond oil
mixed with two pounds of soda I've, or the
strength of $50 Baume. are stirred until of
the consistence of thick paste, when il
should be poured into molds, covered by
several folds of muslin, and kept in warm
room for twenty hours. BY this treatment
the process of Specification, or union of the
acids in the oils with the alkali. is complete.
When these materials are first mixed the
temperature of the mass rises. and in order
to effect the entire union of ingredients so
as to form the compound called soap, it is
necessary that the heat thus generated
should be maintained for some time, hence
the necessity for covering the molds and
keeping them in warm room.
He has found that it is desirable to use
oil that is slightly rancid. or, If free from
rancidity, to add about 10 per cent. of oil
that has become so, Oil that is perfectly
sweet requires two or three days to effect
specialization.

more of the double-refned powdered caustic
soda must be added to the water. These
things will never happen, however. il the
directions are exactly followed; and after
the soap has been made several times with
the experience thus gained the process is
extremely easy, and the result will be al
ways a good batch of soap. Beef tallow
makes the hardest soap, mutton fat a rather
soft soap; of oils, cotton seed is the cheap
est and best, but the soap is much softer,
lathering very freely indeed. Ordinary
household fat or dripping will make nice
soap, and in many cases can be obtained at
a trifling cost and i'm exchange for goods
sold Such grease, however, must be care
fully examined for salt, which it often con-
tains. 1t will be evident that any smaller
quantity of soap can be made at time, ac-
cording to the above directions, by taking
the ingredients in exact proportion. Ii is
not advisable to make more than double the
quantity prescribed as it is difficult to work
more by hand.

Water Crosses in Winter.

The Gardeners Magazine thinks that
many of the writers i'm the horticultural
papers do not know that frost kills water
crosses. The delectable Nasturtium officin-
ale is properly classed as hardy plant for
il takes care of itself as q weed, and who,
therefore, shall accuse it of tenderness?
Where crosses are fast rooted and flourishing
in a brook or any other water, it will be
found that after coat of stout ice has been
formed the crop is gone entirely. That is to
say, all the succulent leafy stems that might
have been cut before the frost came have
been destroyed by ordinary freezing, il only
to the extent of about seven to ten de-
grees. 1t follows, therefore, that to pre-
serve crosses for winter use anywhere
out of doors shelter of some kind is
necessary. There are many ways of doing
this 1t is not unusual for the market
growers to let in a flood o. fresh water when
a sharp frost is expected. This covers the
plants, and the ice is formed so far above
them that they escape its effects. Another
plan is TO lay planks or tree loppings over
the bed, and rough contrivances of this
kind will carry crop through a moderate
frost. but continued and severe frost will
find its way through such penetrable stuff
Where 1T happens to be convenient, frame
is the best protection, vnd those who have
to supply the table plentifully in winter
would do well to arrange their plans with q
view to the use of frames ultimately. That

Materials for Ensilarge.

The first materials converted into ensilarge
in France, where the silo was introduced.
were beet leaves and the leaves and tender
branches of grape vines. Soon afterward
the pulp of beets. from which the sugar had
been extracted, alfalfa and maize. or Indian
corn. were added to the list of materials to
be preserved. On the introduction of the
silo into this country, the immature stalks
and leaves of corn produced by sowing the
seed broadcast or in drills, were employed
for filling IT, This was in Maryland where
corn produces a heavy crop, but where the
growth of grass is not generally large. A
fashion once set is likely to become general
in agriculture as in anything else. As a
consequence, corn fodder has generally been
employed for filling the silos that have been
erected in other parts of the country. There
are several good reasons why corn should be
employed for this purpose. The yield in
most parts of the country is large. The ex-
pense of harvesting il is slight, while the
labor of handling it is comparatively small.
1t is, withal, very fair article of stock food.
There are many portions of the country,
however, where corn can not be successfully
produced. butwhere excellent crops of other
good forage can be raised. In them other
material than corn will be wanted for filling
silos. In any part of the country it is desira-
BILE 10 preserve more than one kind of food,
so as to have a change of diet for stock.
With little doubt Hungarian could be en-
ployed to excellent advantage. The princi-
pal objection to its use when dry is the dust
that accumulates on it during the process of
curing and gathering. by preserving it in
its green state, all objections to its use
would be removed. This crop may be sown
soon enough to have it sufficiently mature
for cutting after crop of winter grain or
early potatoes has been harvested. Ii ma
lures quicker than almost any field crop,
and the yield is very large. There is often
much trouble in curing red clover on ac-
count of its heavy growth, or the frequency
of heavy rains at the season when At should
be cut. On these accounts it would be well
to preserve it in silo. That cabbages would
be admirable for preservation in a silo is
evident, since sour krout is but an ancient
form OF ensilarge.
