THE BEAT OF TnE PUL Ga.
1t Varies Greatly In Different Pei.
sons and Conditions.

The pulse of women generally beats
at a slightly faster rate than that Of
men. 1t may be said that when per.
son is at rest his pulse, that OF any
adult. may be from seventy-fye to
eighty times a minute. Great variation
exists in different individuals in re-
spect OF the number Of beats. After
exercise the pulse quickens because Of
the stimulation of the heart, and the
same result applies to the effects OF
taking food A dose of alcohol will also
stimulate the pulse somewhat, just as
the use of tobacco, especially in excess,
will tend to have an opposite effect
namely, that of lowering the rate Of
the pulse, because of the depression of
the heart which results. In fevers and
inf1ammatory diseases the pulse rate
tends to be very much increased and
also in respect of it's character. Instead
of beating quietly the blood vessel in
such cases exhibits a very full and
bounding movement. On the other
hand, where depression exists and the
temperature Of the body falls, the
pulse may be unna turally slow and its
character weak. Physicians are accus.
toned to distinguish other characteris
tics in the pulse, such as become valu-
able hints in the discovery and deter.
mination Of disease. The practical les
son we learn here is that where the
pulse continues for any length of time
to have its beats quickened to an un-
natural degree and where especially q
rise of the temperature or heat of the
body accompanies these symptoms we
ought to suspect some kind of feverish
condition or other to be represented.
The pulse alone forms a valuable
enough guide to this state Of the body,
but it's value is very much increased if
to the information given us by the
pulse we add that which the use of the
thermometer upplies.-Cardiff Times.

The Latin and Saxon Terms From
Which They Are Derived.
Our names for each day are derived
from the Silxons. who probably bor-
rowed the week from some eastern
people. substituting names of their
own divinities for those OF the clas-
steal gods. as is easily seen when the
names are tabulated
Latin Saxon. English.
Dies Soils. ...... Suns day.. Sunday.
Dies Lunae. -. Moons day 80. Monday.
Dies Martis. -. Tiw's day.. Tuesday.
Dies Mercurii.. Woden's day.. Wednesday.
Dies Jovis...... Thor's day.. Thursday.
Dies Veneris... Frigas day.. Friday.
Dies Saturni. Seterne's day. Saturday.
Among the ancients the belief in the
influence OF the planets upon the life
of men was so strong that many in Sc
lecting their daily ornaments would
wear only the gem associated with the
planet of the day. Thus on Sunday
only yellow gems and gold should
adorn the fingers. Pearls and white
stones. excepting diamonds, belonged
to the Moon day. Tuesday, day of Mars
claimed rubies and all stones of fiery
luster. Thursday, Thor's day, demand
ed amethysts and deep ceiored stones
of sanguine tint. while Friday, DOM
mated by Venus, reigned over the en-
erald. color of jealousy, which is loves
shadow. Saturday. dedicated to Sat
urn, oldest of the gods, had for its
distinctive taIisman the most splendid
of all gems. the diamond.-Chicago

IN SNOW IN MAY
Four Duluth Fishermen were
Lost in the woods. One
Wanted to Die.

Duluth, May IA Ito get
get lost and nearly perish in
the snow in May was the
unique experience of four
fishermen who left Duluth on
Sunday morning for a days
sport on Sucker river.
G. G. and Harry Broward,
Joseph Nc Arthur and James
Macdonald left the train at
Sucker river, between Du-
luth and Two Harbors, and
set out along the county road
expecting to strike the river
farther up. They. trudged
along the muddy road for
nearly four miles and finally
began to fear they were on
the wrong track. They in
quired from a settler who
told them that the river was
three miles to their left.
They accordingly followed
an old logging road which ran
toward the stream. 1t ended
abruptly in the woods after
about a mile, and the four
men plunged into the woods,
determined to make the
stream before turning back.
They began to find traces of
snow as soon as they left the
road, and it grew deeper and
deeper, until they were plung-
inc thru drifts three and four
feet in depth. Under the
drifts were pools of water,
and before they had gone
another mile all four were
drenched.
BY this time it was after
noon, and as they had to
catch the 1 o'clock train
back a council of war was
held. They did not relish the
idea of the long six or seven
mile tramp back the way they
had come, and decided to try
a short cut to the station, and
abandoned all thoughts of the
days fishing. But they fail
ed to count on the snow in
the woods. Conditions grew
worse instead of better, and
y
after an hours tramping all
four were complely exhausted
and chilled to the marrow.
Hour after hour they.
plunged on, resting every
few minutes. On several oc-
casions the younger Broward
brother stopped and said he
could go no farther, but his
companions forced him to
continue. It was nearly 81
O'Clock by the time they
reached the railroad track,
where the men were able to
dry their clothes and secured
some food and a hot drink at
a section house. They then
set out along the track for
Duluth and arrived at the
eastern suburb in time to-
catch the last car for the city.
