How the Pulse Varies,

The human pulse has rather a wide
range, but the general average may be
put about as follows: At birth, 40; at
two years, 100; at from sixteen to
nineteen years, 80; at manhood, rs;
old age, 60. There are, however, great
variations consistent with health. Ma
poleon's pulse is said to have been only
forty-four in the minute. A case is
also related Of healthy man Of eighty
seven whose pulse was seldom over
thirty during the last two years of his
life and sometimes not more than
twenty eight. Another man Of eighty
seven years of age enjoyed good health
and spirits with a pulse Of twenty
nine, and there is also on record the
curious instance Of man whose pulse
In health was never more than forty
FIVE, and, to be consistent in his incon-
sistency, when he had fever his pulse
fell to forty instead of rising, as is
usual.

Really Worth READING.

At certain times in the year, and
particularly month or two before
the Christmas holidays, new books
come into newspaper Offices for review
faster than any one man can possibly
read and review them with justice Ell
Their to himself or the books. He
glances through them hastily, unless
they are by noted authors, gets a
salient point here and there and writes
them up" as best he can. Then he
forgets all about them.
:. "A friend came to me one day and
expressed his qualification at the way
had written up a new novel by a
comparatively unknown author" said
the literary editor Of a Chicago paper.
"'You expressed my idea Of it exact

BILE books Of the year. The plot Is alb

Precautions of Old Time Doctors

TToC0UCIonS OF Old Tine DOCtOrS.
It was formerly the practice among
physicians to carry a cane having a
hollow head, the top of which was
gold, pierced with holes like pepper
box. The top contained a small
amount Of aromatic powder or of
snuff, and on entering the house or
room where disease supposed to be
infectious prevailed the doctor would
strike his cane on the floor to agitate
the powder and then apply it to his
nose; hence all the old prints of physi-
clans represent them with canes to
their noses.

Louisville, March 12.-The first at
tempts of the Louisville Railway COM
pany, whose employees are on strike,
to run its street cars by nonunion men
were accompanied by demonstrations
In many parts of the city. A few cars
sent out early were permitted to make
their runs without interruption, but as
the day progressed there were several
outbreaks.
At Thirteenth and Main two cars
bound to the city were stopped by sew
eral hundred men on their way to
work, the two conductors forced to re,
turn the fares to the passengers, re.
verse the trolleys and take the cars
back to the barns.
At Fourth and G streets the strike
sympathizers surrounded car and
stoned the motorman and conductor,
injuring the former, Edward Pierson,
seriously. The police dispersed the
crowd.
At Fourth and Hill several cars
were stopped and their airbrakes
quickly put out of commission. The
crowd threw STONE stones through the
windows of one or two cars before the
police arrived.
Police in Great Demand.
There were numerous calls for the
police in widely separated sections CT
the city, teamsters aiding the strike
sympathizers In blockading the tracks
In several places.
Il. The railway company announced
that no cars would be run after dark
The company usually operates SOC
cars, but only 100 were running.
The Transfers union of this city
has indicated it's willingness to order
sympathetic strike at once. The
union of electricians has not yet de-
cided whether it will order a strike
although the street car men claim
they will come out at the proper time
The officials of the street railway
company claim the police protection
is entirely inadequate and say they
will put their own guards on each car
II the city officials do not act.
The rioting continued to grow worse
as the day advanced and shortly after
noon all attempts to run cars were
abandoned.
