Late Wheat Sowing.

Several trips across country during the
past week developed the fact that wheat
sowing is unusually late this season. While
corn cutting came early the preparation of
the soil in this and other wheat ground has
been delayed by the dry weather and as late
as Wednesday Of this week We saw farmers
giving fields their final narrowing, while
others yet lay awaiting this work. The fields
in which the wheat has begun to stool and
cover the ground are hard to find in any
section OF this part of the county. Fear OF
the Hcssian fly has had something to do with
the late sowing.

Chinese Pulse Feeling,


The Chinese physicians 1t Is well
known, have long had the credit OF
paying very particular attention to the
pulse. They even pretend to derive q
much more minute and accurate knowl-
edge of the state of. the sick from that
source than European practitioners lay
any claim to.
The patient is directed to be laid In
bed, with his arm resting on small
cushion. The physician must be seat
cd, and both parties are enjoined to re-
main calm, silent and collected. The
fingers are next to be applied In due
succession, one after another, In order
to Judge of the compressibility of the
artery.
The Chinese do not infer solely from
the rapidity of the pulsations. Their
mode is to compare the number Of pull
sations of the artery with the intervals
of the respiration Of the patient. The
number of pulsations Of man In mod
crate health they consider In relation
to the time of a natural inspiration and
expiration. -Four beats of the pulse
during this period they consider as In
dicating perfect health. If 1t exceeds
five pulsations, it Is considered as too
quick; If under that number, as too
slow respecting good health. 1t Is re-
auired to reckon so pulsations in order
to form n correct Indication. Their
chief divisions Of the pulse are four,
the superficial, the profound, the quick
and the slow. These they consider as
having relation to the four tempera-
ments, the choleric, the sanguinc, the
phlegmatic and the melancholy
