The human pulse has rather a wide
range, but the general average may
be put about as follows At birth, 40;
at 2 years, 100; at from 16 TO 10 years,
80; at manhood, Is; old age, go. There
are, however, great variations con-
sistent with health. Napoleon's pulse
is SAID to have been only Al in min
ute. A case is also related of healthy
man of 81 whose pulse was seldom
over 30 during the last two years of
his life, and sometimes not over 26.
Another man of 81 years of age en-
joyed good health and spirits with a
pulse of 80, and there is also on record
the curious instance of a man whose
pulse IN health was never more than
IS, and, to be consistent In his incon-
sistency, when he had fever his pulse
fell to 40, instead of rising, as is
usual.

The Use of Dogs.
Newman Independent.

One of the mysteries that will prob
ably never be solved is why so many
people keep dogs, especially town pe0-
pie. One reason doubtless is because
some people want chance to periure
themselves when the assessor comes
around, and swear that they don't own
a dog, when the assessor cant get into
the house until six or eight dogs run
out. Poor people, to, are often found
who haven't a bite in the house until
dog brings gives it TO them. Then
there are many families that find their
stock of fleas running short-so fast do
such families increase-and are com
PEELED to buy another dog in order to
rcplenisn it.

Two Noted IOWanS.
Philadelphia Times.

Only few days ago the death of
ex-senator Augustus @. Dodge of
Iowa, was announced, and within a
week thereafter the death Of ex Gov.
Ralph P. Lowe, of the same state,
was heralded. These two men were
links which connected the present
with the past. They were leading dis
putants in Territorial political battles
before there was single state west of
the Father of Waters and north of
Missouri They were rival candidates
for Territorial delegate in Iowa forty
years ago, and Dodge was then the
victor because the new Territory of
Iowa was strongly democratic.
When Iowa was admitted as state,
Mr.. Dodge entered the senate to sit
down with his father, then Senator
from Wisconsin-the only instance in
our history when father and son
served In the senate together.

That soldiers are not always able to
appreciate beautiful scenery-is evil
dent from the following inscriptions,
said to be written on tree in the
Yellowstone Park, the outer bark Of

a trowel bayonet: "Howard's Army

4 Story of John Carlisle.
Sa ] Francisco Chronicle.

Much might be written of Carlisle.
Only 48 years old, he is a self made
man in a double sense, for he has
made himself within the last twelve
years. At that time it seemed as If
his life had been lived out and that
the coils of drink would never be
lOosened from about him until he rest
ed with Menifee and Marshall and the
host of other bright Kentuckians who
have graves in the island where Gree
lives Frankfort is about as democrat
izing to young fellows as the Sonora
mountains to the Arizona Indians,
and he had already served two terms
Ia the legislature and was then, at SO,
acknowledgement. There were few
who did not think that this would be
the end of it. There was no Cassan-
dra to hear the whisperings of the
Gods about him. 1t was ''poor John
Carlisle"
Suddenly ne shattered his cups and
put seal upon desire and became, as
ever since he has remained, a devOut
churchman and an exampler of the
strictest temperance. There was sur
prise in the town when more and more
it came to be seen that the change
was not the freak of headache, but
gravely made and meant t. last life
time. But SO it was. He shrank from
all fanaticisms, aud was as blithe as
ever, but the club rooms missed his
epigrams and his books grew thumbed
with use. The comrade had become a
student.

The Fall of til 6 Dude.
BROOKLYN Ea gle.

No one can view the fall of the dude
with anything but satisfaction. Of
all the swells, he has been the most
nauseating. The old-fashioned fop
was a creature of gorgeous plumage
He may have been etfeminate and
silly, but his attire was brilliant, and
his manner gentle. The swell, who
came latter, was a high liver, a good
fellow and bustling, busy aud hap
py man of fashion. But the dude
was a silly, simple, negative, dis
agreeable, shy, reserved and stupid
creature His parallel was never
before seen in the history Of the
world.

Imp owed Butt Color over all others made, is
again demonstrated by its record ct

tons of common at 5000 :40c. While
there are no signs of further collapse,
it must be noted that within the next

present attitude of apathy, values will
probably suffer again.

heavy. important contracts having been
closed this week. There is no doubt,
therefore, that our market is IN fair

THE DISTRICT TELEGRAPH.
1t is Now Located in the Western

The District Telegraph wires have
been run into the Western Union office,
ana the business of that useful concern
will be improved by the move. In the
matter of delivering the kilograms of
the w. T., which the FIRST named has
concluded an agreement TO do, will be
found quite an item for its messenger
boys TO attend TO. The change has been
contemplated some days, but not until
yesterday was it consummated. The

window and with their bells and paper
reels make neat little show. The last

calls on, and from the indentation made

readily see what number IS rung from.
This, OF course, ObviateS the employ
ment OF skilled operators to receive
calls.
For the benefit of those who may wish
to use the District Telegraph or any of
its messengers, we will give the four
circuits traversed by its wires: The
