untrammeled by fine clothes. Plain
or plaid ginghams, even substantial
galateas and denims, are made up on
the simplest lines, usually absolutely
without trimming. Many of the play
frocks are made on jumper lines, so
that guimpes may easily be removed
on warm days. Often quaint one
piece frocks without a tuck or gather,
are shown which can be slipped on
on over the head, the necessary flare
being given to the skirt by inset
cores, outlined by narrow braid or
scallops. The small girl also wears
the long sloping shoulders and the

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

Steady Decrease.
How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has a wide range,
even in perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. It 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 a pulse beat of 100 times
a minute in case of a girl and $50 in
the case Of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to 10 and 100. Maid
ems and youths pulses average IS
and 80. Mature men and women av-
erage 80 and rs. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and 50.
An old woman's pulse rarely, II ever.
sinks below so, but among men .
pulse beat below so is quite common.
There are, however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only q
times 4 minute.

AQUIET SUNDAY.
The Law Generally Observed In Astoria
and Vicinity.

and Vicinity,
Clatsop county went dr. on Sunday
last by order Of District Attorney Gil
bert l.. Hedges, Of the Fifth judicial
District, transmitted TO the county by
Deputy District Attorney }. G. McCue,
Of Astoria. Commencing Saturday night
at ~ O'Clock all the saloons of the
county closed up for "a hours, and 50
lar as can be ascertained there was no
violation Of the order in spirit OF de.
Gance.
On the contrary II was quite remark
able how peacefully the order went into
effect considering the dissatisfaction
against 1t by the saIoonkeepers and
large number Of topers The fact that
the order has taken effect in several
other counties OF the state caused the
saloon men 10 accede gracefully to the
order.
A large number Of thirsty citizens laid
in stock Of booze" on Saturday night.
Many Of them could not leave 1t alone
until Sunday and the result was that
when the "day Of rest" dawned there
wss an unusual number under the in
iluence.' Quite a number Of excursions
were made on the water and up the
river by men who would otherwise have
spent their time in the saloons. Most
OF them were well stocked up with
spirituous beverages
With the exception OF most OF the
saloon men the dry" state OF affairs
was taken in humorous spirit. The
securing Of drink was much -mooted
subject to which interest was added
when IL could not be secured. Many Of
the "wise ones failed TO connect with
supply in spite Of great confidence in
their persuasive powers.
While there we're no arrests for viola
ton OF the order there were few ir.
regularities on the part of several sa-
looms. In one case a cauple OF men man
aged to get into saloons without seeur
ing anything, and a number OF attempts
were made to secure drinks in man
ner which put saIoonkeepers in false
light.
In general, however, the order was
carried out very successfully and speaks
well for the county in acceding to the
demands OF the law. Sheriff Pomeroy
and his assistants kept close watch on
the saloons during the closed period
without finding any cases requiring at
tention
