LIFE IS STILL ROMANTIC.
BY Helen OIdfeId.

This century claims to be, and is, intensely
practical. The struggle for life is strenuous,
and many are forced to "cut their hard paths
by Poor Richards eloquence." On
the other hand, We are continually told that
modern society has no earnestness no depth,
little or no sincerity, and, worst of all, no high
moral standard. Fashion and pleasure and
sham love are the amusements of the hour. To

age. The same is claimed to be true
of the senses of hearing and of smell.
The Indian can distinguish objects at
a remote distance which are invisible
to his more highly evolved companion.
He can detect sounds which the scholar
recognizes only In slight degree and
after closest attention. The difference
Is not so marked In regard to odors
but 1t is said that comparing ourselves
with the ancient Romans the sense OF
smell Is also degenerating. On the
other hand it may be claimed that civ
ilized man can see tints which the saw
age cannot distinguish. He may not
hear the sound of a remote footstep In
the forest, but he can detect the fine
harmonles of Beethoven sonata which
the savage cannot. His sense of touch
is far more exquisite and so too is the
sense Of taste. The extremes Of differ
ence are doubtelss due not to any nat
ural superiorityor inferiorlty but to the
necessity for cultivation in some partic-
ular direction. To secure his food the
primitive man must give attention to
distant sounds and sights to which the
man who has'hls food set before him is
Indifferent. The Beers In the late war
were noted for their keenness of vision.
Their security had depended on it for
generations. So long as it is in the
power of an individual to cultivate any
OF his senses still further should occa-
sion demand, it can hardly be said his
senses are degenerating, even though
the present stage of development is less
than that of an inferior race. 1t is not
to be expected that ones faculties
should always be on the extreme degree
of tension, since it would doubtless
mean corresponding loss of power in
another and more important direction.

unsurpassed. when we members Of
the Vienna Conseryatortum Orchestra
performed mass ON one occasion un-
der Helimesberger in the Church OF
the lnvalides, Hans Richter actually
sang. And how he did sing. At times
he helped out the bassos in a difficult
passage. at others the tenors. and. I
believe, he even sang with the So
pranos. iirstratc player upon the
organ, Richter was no less skilled upOu

AGE TOLD ev THE PULSE.
From Birth to Death the Beats Have
Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has a wide range,
oven in perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats fast
err than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex OF
a person could be ascertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have pulse beat of 100 times
a minute in case of girl and $50 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to ITO and 100. Maid.
ems and youths pulses average 95
and 60 Mature men and women av.
erage so and u.s. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and so.
An old woman's pulse rarely, If ever,
sinks below so, but among men a
pulse beat below so is quite common.
There are however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only A
times a minute.
