THE BEAT OF THE PULSE.

It Varies Greatly In Different Pen
sons and Conditions.
The pulse of women generally beats
at a slightly faster rate than that or
men. 1t may be said that when a per-
son is at rest his pulse, that of any
adult, may be from seventy-five to
eighty times minute. Great variation
exists in different individuals in re.
epect 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 erect

the pulse, because of the depression OF
The heart which results. In fevers and
infiammatory diseases the pulse rate
tends to be very much increased and
also in respect Of it's character. Instead

temperature of the body falls, the
pulse may be unnaturally slow and it's
character weak. Physicians are accus-
toned to distinguish other Characters
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 it's beats quickened to an I'M
natural degree and where especially a
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 its value is very much increased if
to the information given us by the
pulse we add that which the use of the
thermometer supplies.-Cardiff Times.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
Don't Develop the Mind at the Expense
of the Body.

Don't Develop the Mind at the Expense
of the Body.
The man or woman who would train
ence to the physical shows faulty
qualification for the work in which he
or she may be engaged. The mind
may be ever so well trained and stored
with knowledge Of the books, but un-
less there is behind it reasonably
strong body life runs the risk Of be-
ing failure; if not that an existence
Of pain that serves as limitation upon
its possibilities. It is species of cru
city to educate the mind at the ex-
pense of the body. Better let child
grow up into manhood or womanhood
with an inferior education than with
q better education Of the mind and a
body weakened In the effort.
The fact that so many men in this
country who have succeeded In bust
ness and In professional and public
life have been the sons of farmers,
whose early life has been spent out OF
doors, has been a subject Of remark.
May it not be accounted for on the
ground that in their boyhood their
physique was developed SO that In aft
er life, besides their mental acquire
ments, they had strong bodies with
which to do the work they have so
successfully performed? This is not
only possible but very probable

NAMES OF DAYS.
The Latin and Saxon Terms From
which They Are Derived.

The Latin and Saxon Terms From
Which They Are Derived.
Our names for each day are derived
from the Saxons, 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.. Monday.
Dies Martis. Tiw's day.. Tuesday.
Dies Mercurii.. Woden's day. Wednesday.
Dies Jovis. 49,. Thor's days. Thursday.
Dies Veneris... Friga's 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
iecting 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 colored 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 talisman the most splendid
of all gems, the diamond.-Chicago
