brasure. Three blasts were arranged
by the drillers, the holes being

The rate of pulsation depends entire
ly on the movements of the heart, each
beat representing contraction OF the
left ventricle The normal pulse Of the
adult male varies from sixty to eighty
beats in the minute. The range Of the
individual variation is, however, very
great. The range in females is even
greater some having pulse rate Of
over eighty, others less than sixty, the
majority showing a higher rate than
males.
In children the rate is more frequent:
At birth, 12S to 144 first year, 12O to
1870; at sixteen years, ninety. In old
age the pulse is usually above seventy
two. but often also between fifty and
sixty. The pulse rate is higher in short
than tall persons and also varies some
what with the time of day, Independent
of meals and movement, diminishing in
the forenoon, rising in the afternoon,
sinking during the night and rising in
the morning. Habitual pulse rates be-
low fifty-six and as low as forty-slx
have been observed in healthy adults,
but they are rare exceptions. We know
of no case on record of a healthy pulse
SO low as thirty.

Too Angelic.

There was Il certain young minister
in Maine who on his first charge was
called upon to preach a funeral sermon
over a woman. 1t was his first funeral
sermon, and he laid himself out to
make an impression and succeeded.
The woman had had her faults, but
the minister forgot them. This was to
be expected, but he extolled her so
highly that the poor bereaved husband,
sitting there listening, couldn't recog-
nize her by the description. Finally, in
a glowing peroration, he pictured God
and the archangels and the angels and
all the hosts of the redeemed joyously
forming a parade to welcome to heaven

dogs, got out their ration of pemmican,

his share Then l unpacked the cooker,
oil can and kitchen box, passing them
up the ice foot as high as could reach.
I did not wait for the completion Of the
igloo to commence my preparations for
supper, but with few strokes of the
spade excavated a niche in the snow
bank, put the cooker in out Of the wind,
filled the lamp with oil and the boiler
with ice, placed few snow blocks
around it for still better shelter and

completed / had enough water melted
for our tea, and supper was entirely
ready by the time my men had fed the
dogs, and they lost no time in freeing
their clothing of snow and joining me

sumed in putting away the tea and bis

falling off to dreamless slumber.-COm-

COVERED DISHES.
The Reason They Were introduced
During the Middle Ages.

AAcaSOn Eney were introduces

From the days when our ancestors
took their food in their hands and ate
it with as little ceremony as dog
gnaws bone to the present time Of
elaborate dinners is long step. but a
gradual one. 1t was number of Gen.
turtles before dishes of any kind were
used, and knives and forks as adjuncts
to eating are later still. The fear of
poison which haunted the mad Of
every person Of quality during the mid
Gle ages gave rise to certain curious
customs and even to certain supersti-
tons. When dishes are now served
covered, it is understood that it is
merely for the purpose Of keeping them
warm. This was not, however, the
principal reason why they were not
served covered during the dark ages.
1t was the fear that poison might be
introduced into them surreptitiously
between the kitchen and the table
where they were to be served to the
kings or the lords or even to persons
of inferior rank
The covers were not removed till the
master of the house had taken his
place. All dishes afterward served
were brought on the table in the same
manner. 1t was the custom originally
when the dishes were uncovered for
some of the servants to first partake
of them, but this custom was after
