The Pulse and the Temperature.

The Pulse and the Temperature.
II you take thermometer ON hot
summer day, and watch IL until il
runs up under the influence OF the
sunshine TO 9s.4, you will see II. when
IL reaches that point, at the exact
temperature OF your body, IL you are
In normal health. Your temperature
may.huctuate a fraction above or below
yS. 4, according 10 the time OF the day
or night, but il never varies u any
extent until fever or some other kind
OF disease sets in. Then the temper
ature begins TO do what the pulse
would not do-tell just how danger
ously sick le person is And one OF
the strange things about IL is that il
does not vary many degrees from this
normal point OF 9s.4. no matter how
i'll the patient may lecome If there
is high fever. it may run up TO l04
or l05, and sometimes TO l06. but il
seldom stays at this last point for any
length Of time. II IL goes up to los,
the good physician who is watching
at the bedside Of the sick person con-
cludes that death will soon put an
end TO the suffering. Sometimes as
in cases OF cholera, it may drop sew
.eral degrees below o. 4, but it seems
TO be impossible for IL to change
many degrees from the normal point.
There are cases recorded where the
temperature ran up 70 ITO or ll2 aud
the patient recovered.
The pulse, on the contrary, may
change many beats, and still the SICK
person will not be in danger OF death.
But, as rule, IL the temperature
reaches l0S or 100 death soon follows:
A tiny thermometer, called a
clinical thermometer, Is used to in
dicate the temperature. 1t is placed
under the tongue, or close to the skin
In the axilla, or a-m-pit and left

genious arrangement the mercury in

is taken, IL the mercury is not dis

Says the Century Magazine: The
United States sells its forest lands at
$500 an acre, lumber companies in
directly acquiring square mile of land
for little over $1,000, while the timber
on it is often worth $50, 900. The
French Government forests return an
average profit of 80. 80 an acre annually
from timber sales, or two and n half
per cent. interest on the value of the
land. The United States now owns
only enough forest land TO provide a
continual timber supply to its present
population, il fore ats are managed and
used as in Germany. The United
States is exactly in the position of a
man making large drafts on and using
up an immense idle capital. which, if
properly invested, would return an in
terest sufficient for his expenditures.
In 1886 the Government of Bavaria
sent an expert forester to study the
timbers of the United States, who
stated: 'In fifty years you will have
TO import your timber, and rs you will
probably have preference for Ameri-
can kinds, we shall now begin to grow
them, in order to DO ready to send
them to You ut the proper time"

WATER AND DISEASE.
Impure Water a Potent Cause of serious
Mischief.

impure water is TO be had, il should
In all cases be purified before use.
Boiling Is the most common method
OF rendering innocuous or sterile any
water suspected or known TO contain
material which might produce dis
ease conveyable by water; such as
typhoid fever or cholera
1t Is not uncommon 10 hear people
say, 1--WE do not fear cholera because
We boil all our drinking water" Yet
II Is safe TO say that half OF those who
give orders 10 have the water boiled.
and even OF those who themselves at
tend 70 It's toiline, drink water from
vessels rinsed with unboiled water.
1t is plain that the good effects OF
boiling the water which is to be used
for drinking purposes are lost, IL the
pitcher, or the salad, or the milk can,
or the milk jug has been rinsed with
unboiled water. The boiling OF water
is an excellent precaution. but the
use OF boiled water should be ex-
tended.
OF the water used in the household,
the proportion devoted TO drinking
purposes l. relatively small. In the
kitchen, water is used for washing
vegetables and salads, for rinsing
dishes and tableware. One or two
germs Of disease c.inging TO the sides

ward been poured, may find the milk
an excellent soil in which To grow and
propagate their species
From food which has been sub
jected to roasting, to boiling, or TO
any thorough cooking there is MOTH
ing TO fear. From uncooked foods
and from fluids danger is possible,
and in the process Of their prepara-
tion for consumption they should be
guarded from every possible source OF
contamination.
In time OF an epidemic. milk should
always be subjected TO boiling or
steaming before IL is used.
The use OF any OF the filters which
are fastened TO faucets on the pipes
OF the city water-supply, it il per-
haps needless To say. does not afford
the slightest protection against dis.

Water which contains mineral i'm.

ONE OF the things that strikes u;
very strange in this land OF Humane
Societies is the lack of protest against
the manner OF raising and providing
for cattle on the great Western ranges
These ranges are often over
crowded with stock, and when winter
comes the grass is so short and she,-
ter so scarce that in case OF storm
and these storms last from four 70
ten days-the dumb creatures perish
10y tens OF thousands. In summer
another calamity threatens. About
every three or four years the streams
dry up, and the cattle die OF thirst
often thousand within the limit OF
a square mile. What is more shock
ing? Yet these facts have been pub
lished annually for twenty years, and
we have yet TO see the tlrst protest or
even comment.

Henrik Ibsen, the Swedish dramat-
list, is desirous of visiting England,

old men. ''In all other countries" he
says, "the best work is done by men

A Deceitful One.

A Detroit young man is looking
for a real good, tru,ty mule to kick
him from the foot OF WOODWARD ave-

egregiousnesS. He has been courting
a good looking girl out in the suburbs
for two months or more. and both OF
them were keeping il verv close.
Even the young woman's twin sister
only had suspicion. but that was
enough TO place her on the qui vive
Two evenings ago the young man
called pursuant TO engagement, and
he meant business He came early
in order TO get good start. and he
was received and conducted into the
dimly lighted parlor, as the night
was little too warm for gas turned
on full.
He began his tender speeches carly
in the engagement, and the fair re-
cipient blushingly let him 60 on with
out saying a great deal In reply.
Finally he took her by the hand.

points out that the statutes OF Okla
