The BEAT OF The PULSE.


IN VNH1eD Greatly In D6Grent Fer.
sons ana Conditioas-
The pulse of women generally beats
lat 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 seyenty-five 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
j namely, that of lowering the rate of
the pulse, because of the depression of
the heart which results. In feyers and
inf1ammatory diseases the pulse rate
tends to be very much increased and
also in respectso of its character. Instead
OF beating quietly the blood vessel in
such cases exhibits very full and
bounding movement. On the other
hand, where depression exists and the
temperature of the body falls, the
pulse may be unnaturally slow and its
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 un-
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.

The Frenchman of the middle class
sacrifices everything in order to obtala
for his children some official position

sure one, leading after thirty years of
penury to a pension vergng on desti-

of the French race. 1t is easy to I'M
derstand that two races are not evenly

For this reason do Latin races decline,

There have been numerous instances

the gale. however, and the epitaph was
not needed.

Racine at His Work.

Racine, the French writer, composed
his work while walking rapidly about,
shouting out the lines in loud voice.
One day while he was thus composing
part of his play of .'Mithridates'' in the
Tuileries gardens in Paris he was sur
rounded by group Of workmen who
took him to be maniac. On his re-
turn home from these walks he would
write down scene after scene in prose.
and when they were finished he would
exclaim, "My tragedy is done!' con-
sidering the transposition Of the lines
into verse only trivial thing.

THEATRICAL TEMPESTS,
The Way a Rainstorm Es Produced
the Stage.

On the stage.
Probably not more than one person
in hundred stops to consider how a
rainstorm is produced on the stage
Few perhaps have ever given the sub
ject any serious thought
During the coming up of the storm
there is seen vast clouds of dust, the
wind blows a gale, and suddenly the
rain comes down in torrents. 1t is an
effect SO natural that one almost i'm
AGNES the elements are genuinely on
the warpath. Yet, though the rain is
real water, not a person is actually
drenched, because the water comes
down at the very front of the stage,
while the players are we'll back and
not at all exposed to it's moisture
1t might be thought that to produce a
storm many intricate bits of machinery
would be necessary, yet such is not the
case, for the simplest devices produce
the effect desired. These are some gas
pipes punctured by myriads of holes,
through which the water runs from
small barrels, each about half full, at
either end. The sound Of the wind is
made by revolving barrel which
touches heavy piece of canvas in it's
rounds. The thunder effect is caused
by the artistic manner in which man
beats a bass drum, and the gusts of
dust are blown across the stage by an
electric fan. The flashes of lightning
come from an electric battery connect
ed by wires which when placed in con-
tact throw out the dazzling flashes. A
metal plate, which had been specially
prepared by first being heated to white
heat and then scratched by knife, is
placed in calcium light machine and
gives the effect Of lightning in the dis
tance.-New York Mail.

of the strangling tree extend down

times as much as six feet or more in

When the attacked tree is a paR

tree.
When the attacked tree is an exogea

attacking roots bind so tightly as -

AS the sap of a tree is really its food

Like the fated duchess in Brown

how many times you sent things back,
she never grumbled There was al
ways struggle to get seat at her
table. The boys who regularly gath

utes for the privilege of being served
by Tessie. They joked her good deal
and always were rewarded by fash
ing smile and a twinkle of the eye,
bit of repartee or perhaps little ex-s
ira attention to their order But new
err did one of them presume upon her
friendliness and bon camaraderie to
overstep the very certain line which
she had drawn between herself and
those whom she served. She was
young, piquant and pretty, but she
"mothered' them all, and, no matter
how tenderly she might ask if the eggs
were just right or the coffee hot, they
knew that it was useless to misinter-
pref that 'mothering.''
Tessie. stayed in the downtown lunch
room just three years. From the day
she came the managers discerning eve
discovered prize In her, and from the
ladies' table she was promoted to one
where masculinity and tips were more
frequent. II waitress were absent,
Tessie was always given the extra"
table to serve, and she never complains
ed. Tessie was never tardy, never
too i'll to work, never distract or care
less. Tirelessly she went up and
down with her arms full of dishes and
food. 1.-THE boys" used to speculate
sometimes upon Tessie's matrimonial
possibilities and hazard guesses as to
what they would do when some fellow
carried her off to wait on himself ex-
clusively. But in time she became
such fixture that they ceased wonder
ing why such pretty girl was forced
to work in quick lunch room and
gave up the thought that she would
ever marry at all.
That is why they were very much
surprised one day when they arrived
to find no Tessie. Another waitress
tried to take her place, but nobody got
what he wanted, and nothing went
right. They had been so used to de-
pending upon Tessie's suggestions and
her memory that the new waitress had
a hard time of it. Finally in fit of
the crouch one Of the boys called the
manager over.
Say" he demanded, where's Tes-
sie?"
The manager lifted his eyebrows po-
litely.
4'Tessie?' he began. ooh, you mean

The next morning Tessie appeared as
usual. The crowd of young clerks
greeted her with whoop. ss' % e =

from the Saxons, who probably bor-

names are tabulated:
