View of Happiness.

I have been trying to figure out a
general condition of happiness, and |
reach the conclusion that 1t consists
mainly in the ability to march with
ones own generation, neither deplor-
ing the progress the generation makes
nor grumbling because 1t 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 1t. DR.. Osler spoke truth
when he said that most men cease to
be receptive to new ideas after 40;
hence our elders in the COS 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 EOS, are
putting more pressure upon us from
the rear than we are able to believe
Is wholly justified.

Scott and the Simple Life.


Sir Walter Scott was an out-of
doors man, as he had been tramp
ing boy, says McClure's. 1t Is impos.
sible to think of him without his
horses and dogs. His duties as sher.
If took him across country contin-
ually, and he always had more months
out Of Edinburgh that in it, notwith-
standing his court clerkship. He was
thus in constant contact with Scotch
life and country, and he never lost
or relaxed his first impulse to know
and see with his eyes, so far as eyes
could see it, all the local history. He
was also in love with the genius of
Scotland as it was stamped in the
people of all sorts and conditions. HUI.
man nature, the rough, hard article
free from it's alloy of the town, was
treasure trove to him. On those an.
nual raids into Liddesdale," and on
many another journey, he made him.
self master of this book of truth out
of which came so much Of the char
acter, anecdote and phrase that are
most sterling, real and humorsome in
his books.

A kipIInq Souvenir.

OF an interesting Kipling relic.
Charles Warren Stoddard writes:
1.-THE object that first caught my
eye was an old desk, black with age,
and no doubt rheumatic in every Joint.
Its lid was solid panel. but curved
10 the fashion of a roll-top desk.
Across the length of it, cut deep in
large letters, such as schoolboys love
to carve was this legend:
"Oft was weary when I tolled at
Thee,
$50 sang the galley slave in q
faultless verse; and so, in the hour
of triumph, Rudyard Kipling graved
upon the cover of the desk at which
he won his fame."-National Maya

RECORDS OF THE PULSE RATE.


instrument Shows Hearts Action Dur
Ing Muscular Work and After.
A recent publication of the Univer-
sity of Michigan describes an instru-
ment for securing continuous gra-
PHO record of the pulse rate in man
which AFFORD valuable indications of
the hearts work. The records showed
that tho commencement of muscular
work Is followed almost simultaneous
ly by a 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 well.
marked stages--a primary rise, q
period Of sustained acceleration and o
secondary rise. Similar stages OF de
crease In rate occur after the worb
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 II 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
1t Immediately reacts upon the heart
and that conversely cessation of mus
cular exertion is an immediate reli 4
to the heart.

FRsr.-That almost every operation
en our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect OF
huch symptoms as backache, irregular
md painful menstruation, leucorrhoea,

diseases Of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years IL has been helping
women to be strongy curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all utter
Inc and ovarian Inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom-
ing it's pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change OF life.
TmRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on Ale

waI-Iu-Iah,

Fer the paleface saw the westland
In its grandeur by the sea
Lived a dusky Indian princess
Fair as fairest flower to see.
BY Columblas laundering cascades.
Ger the beauteous upland plain,
Wandered lone the fair Wal-lu-lah
Chanting e'er some wild refrain.
Dusky suitors thronged about her,
Pleaded for Wal-lu-lah's hand,
But she wept her absent lover,
Pointed to yon westward strand
BY Columbia's murmuring cascades,
Long and lone her tireless quest,
Now she sleeps, but still awaits him,
With her face toward the west.
Drifting sands above her mingle,
Happy homes bedeck her plain.
Still her spirit sings and murmurs
In Columbia's wild refrain.
