caution to prevent substitution. Some
druggists, trading on the popularity of
the great Family Remedy, attempt to
palm off other preparations, unscru-
pulously asserting them to be "the
same as " or "equal to" PoND's Ex-
TRACT, indifferent to the deceit prac-
ticed upon and disappointment there
by caused to the purchaser, so long
as larger profits accrue to themselves.

Speed of the Pulse.

The rate Of pulsation depends entirely
on the movements Of the heart, each beat
representing contraction of the left
ventricle. The normal pulse of the adult
male varies from go to 80 beats in the
minute; the range of the individual varia-
tion is, however, very great. The range in
females is even greater, some having Il
pulse rate of over 80, others less than 90,
the majority showing higher rate than
males.
In children the rate is more frequent:
At birth, 128 to IA; first year, 120 to 1870;
at sixteen years, 90. In old age the pulse is
usually above e, but often also between
80 and 60. The pulse rate is higher in
short than tall persons, and also varies
somewhat with the time of day, independ-
ent Of meals and movement-diminishing
in the forenoon, rising in the afternoon,
sinking during the night and rising in the
morning. Habitual pulse rates below Sc
and as low as 46 have been observed in
healthy adults, but they are rare excep-
tions. We know of no case on record of q
healthy pulse SO low AZ 30.-Brooklyn

Soldier. sliding Down Hill.


It became apparent that battalion
placed the evening before on an isolated
hill could not come down by any practical
BILE way without making long circuitous
march and being exposed to the fire of the
enemy. Massena, working up the ascent on
his knees and hands, makes for this battal-
Ion, reaches it, harangues the men and as
sures them that if they will initiate him
they will get out of the scrape. He makes
them sheathe their bayonets, sit down on
the snow at the edge of the slope and,
pushing himself forward with his hands,
slides down to the bottom. All our SOL
diers, laughing in fits, do the same, and in
the twinkling of an eye the whole battal-
ION was formed and far beyond the reach
Of the dumfounded Austrians.
This way of getting down hill, which
is very like what peasants and guides in
Switzerland call la ramasse, had certainly
never been attempted before by soldiers.
Extraordinary as it may appear, it is true;
it was certified to by Generals Roguet pere,
Soules, Albert and other officers in Mas
sena's division at the time. and nine years
afterward, being at La Houssaye, when
Marshal Augereau received the empero IT
and the other marshals, heard them jest
ing with Massena about this singular
method of acknowledgements Of General
Marriott.

An Illustration Of Faith and Works.
A Presbyterian minister in Scotland
once got into a debate with boatman
while crossing river about faith and
works, his position being that faith with
out works was enough. "Na, ma" retorted
the boatman with much seriousness,
faith without works'll no. do. I'll gle
you an instance. Well ca this oar faith
and this ither oar works. Very WELL
TAX faith first" and while rowing with
it alone the boat went round and round.
Now" said the boatman, "let's taxi
works next" and rowing with it alone
the boat went round the other way.
eve will noo," continued the boatman,
tax faith an works thegither. Noo,"
exclaimed he triumphantly, as he rowed
with both oars at the same time, I'VE can

that we can get over the troubled ocean O

A stranger might pass the smallest shop

dream of its existence, and even if the chill

It is situated in one of the dingy tene-
ment houses in the Italian quarter, where
the people are SO closely packed that when
one desires to turn around he gives the sig

The owner decided that it was waste of
valuable space, and he sealed up one end
Of the hallway, compelling the tenants to
use the outer brick alleyway. The sealed
hallway he then offered to rent as shop,
and the result is that its tenant is distin-
guished from all cobblers and other shop
keepers whatsoever by the smallest shopin
this city.
Its width is 3 feet inches from wall to
wall. There is not room for a window,
and the door serves double purpose. The
shop is about seven feet deep. The cobbler
is obliged to keep the door wide open all
the time or else tight shut to obtain room
for his bench and tools. In summer he
moves his bench out on the doorsill. In
winter it is about two feet back. Those
who go in or out never open the door wide,
but put it little ajar and then squeeze
through. Many of his stouter customers
have never entered the shop. They tap on
the window part Of the door. which Father
Crispin then opens to receive the weary
and worn out soles and to wrangle about
the price.

for Father Crispin to drive through that
little window. Neither is it on record that
the big footed girl from Ohio has sent her
shoes there to be repaired. Events may
prove interesting when she does.-New
