Nie,m of Happi1esS.

I have been trying to figure out a
general condition of happiness, and I
reach the conclusion that it consists
mainly in the ability to march with
ones own generation, neither deplor.
ing the progress the generation makes
nor grumbling because it doesn't make
more, says Frank Putnam in the Ma
tional Magazine. We can understand
best the men and women of our own
age, or near it. Dr. Osler spoke truth
when he said that most men cease to
be receptive to new ideas after 40;
hence our elders in the SOS and Cos
and 70s, say, who have ably guided
the affairs of the world during the
decades Immediately ahead of us will
often seem to us to nave less rapidly
than we think they should, toward
new industrial conditions. And the
generation Immediately behind US
the restless chaps in their 20s, are
putting more pressure upon us from
the rear than we are able to believe
is wholly justified.

..S;UUIH CAROLINA CROP BULLEiiiN
Weather Conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.

The South Carolina section Of the
climate and crop service of the De
partmept Of Agriculture issues the
following official bulletin Of weather
and crop conditions for the past
week:
The mean temperature for the week
ending Monday, September 18th, was
slightly below normal, due to very
cool weather early in the wce'; and
warm at It's close The extremes OF
temperature were a maximum of 96
degrees at Blackyille on the 18th and
a minimum of 81 degrees at Cheraw
on the 18th. There was slightly less
than the normal amount of bright
sunshine over the southern and east
ern counties and about normal amount
! in the ceutral and western counties.
| There were numerous showers oHet
tn. eastern .nd southern counties
and very little rain, i'll many places
none, over tha western enes. Excess
sivc rainfall occurred in Florence and
Darlington counties, in the latter
there were 5 inches recorded in "a
borrs. Lands were washed, streams
flooded and bridges carried away, and
crops were seriously damaged on up
lands as we'll as low lands. Gener-
ally the weeks precipitation was
needed anl proved beneficial. Over
the western and northern counties the
ground is very dry and late crops
are suffering for moisture. Streams
and wells are becoming low, and it
is too dry Cor fall plowing and for
seeding oats.
Frequent showers interrupted farm
work along the coast and to a lesser
degree in a few interior southern
counties, while the weather was fav-
orablc for continuous work over the
greater portion of the State.
There was slight deterication in
the condition Of cotton due, mainly,
to premature opening caused by rust
aud drought. On sandy lands the
crop is nearly al open and most OF it
picked while over the State generally
it is opening fast. Growth and fruit
age have stopped, but this is I'M
material as what fruitage would be
taken on after this time would not
mature. Caterpillars have appeared
in Berkeley county on cotton, which
is the only report of da e by in
sects this week.
Late corn is in need ,Iu. There
is slight deterioration OF minor crops
due to want of moisture. Over the
western parts and a slight improve
ment in the eastern portions. Fall
truck has improved, and recently
planted seeds arc terminating well.
Rice harvest made good progress.
Much hay and other forage was saved
in prime condition.

RECORDS OF THE PULSE. RATE.

ing Muscular Work and After.
A recent publication of the Univer-
sity of Michigan describes an instru-
ment for securing a continuous gra-
phic record Of the pulse rate in man
which afford valuable indications OF
the hearts work. The records showed
that the commencement Of muscular
work is followed almost Simultaneous
ly by marked acceleration of the
pulse. In fact, this modification Of the
pulse rate is observed in the next
heart cycle after the work begins.
In typical cases there are three we'll
marked stages-a primary rise. a
period of sustained acceleration and a
secondary rise Similar stages of de-
crease in rate occur after the work
stops. The rapidity Of the pulse dur.
ing work depends not only upon the
amount of work done, but much more
upon the manner in which it is done.
Speed and resistance are factors re-
curing separate consideration and of
these two speed has the greater in.
fuence.
These records show that while mus.
cular work may not appreciably re-
quire the expenditure of bodily force
il immediately reacts upon the heart
and that conversely cessation Of mus
cular exertion is an immediate relief
to the heart.
