Pulse Beats.

The rate of the pulse in males at
different ages is as follows: At birth.
136 beats per minute; at fve years.
eighty-three beats per minute; be-
tween 1918 years, seventy-eight
beats per minute; between 20-25
years. 60.7 beats per minute; between
$3.50 years. seventy-one beats per
minute; between 1880 years. seven
ty beats per minute.
In females the rate Is from one to
AS beats faster per minute.
Slow walking raises the pulse from
ten to twenty beats, while rapid run
ming may raise it to 140. This rise
may last from half an hour to al
hour.
Eating raises the pulse from eigh !
to twenty beats; without wine, 1871
with wine, 175. In the morning tn
pulse is ten beats higher than a
night. When the barometer rise

A DEER WHITE AND DEAF

Speaking of blindness, deafness
and dumbness among cats and dogs,
DR.. H. d. Gill, the veterinary surgeon
and horseman, told incidentally of a
remarkable wild animal, deer, that
was once encountered by two friends
of his who were hunting near Moose
head Lake in Maine.
Out with guide, the hunters came
to spot from which they could see
within shooting distance four deer
grazing, one of the four being white,
an albino. The hunters fired and
shot two of the deer of natural color,
the third one at the report of the
guns springing away to safety, while
the white deer remained stock still.
The wind was towards the hunters
and they had not been heard or
scented, and apparently the white
deer had not heard the report of the
guns. But in moment it turned
its head and then it bounded away
after the other surviving deer.
1t seemed clear to guide and hunt
ers that the white deer was stone
deaf.

The College and
Good Literature
BY WILLIAM sEAvER WOODS. Ed
itor of the Literary Digest.

ftor OF the Literary Digest.
The number Of students in the
various colleges In America to-day ID
reckoned at about 10000, and II
our colleges can turn out an army OF
10000 every four years, charged
with the leaven of idealism, I think
that before long there will begin to
be results. Over on the other side Of
the water. where literature seems to
be In full flower, the national wealth
Is In the hands Of few great fami-
lies. and the young man who is born
poor is pretty sure to stay poor. It 10
easier for such young man to turn
to the consultations Of literature ana
accept the assurance Of the philoso-
pliers that wealth is curse and never
brings happiness. So, while the mag
mates are winning great fortunes In
the far East. he writes stories and
poems about 1t. In America the
young man of ability can take his
choice. He can either go into bust
ness and wish later that he had gone
into literature, and he can go into lit
erature and wish he had gone into
business. That is, II he is unsuccess-
full. But as for the man who really
has the divine FIRE, never heard Of
one who was sorry for it. We cannot
have, and we do not want, literature
founded on the denial Of opportunity
to rising young men to make their
choice, but we can have literature
founded on the deliberate choice of
the best minds to seek the best
things; and when we have that,
America is likely to have the best
literature.

do?"
The boy hesitated again. Father

out, proudly and defiantly, "and I
help him, and we do it good, l tell
you! No one ever complains. Father
says IL you can't do what you want
to, you can try something else, and
that was all he could do, so he
tried, and found out he could wash
and iron good, and lot of it,"
Junius considerably looked
straight ahead Of him, not wishing to
add to the embarrassment of Edward
Billings Henry, Junior, but he could
not resist the temptation to ask, "Are
you going to tell this to Mr.. Florins ?"
"No-sir-ee!" responded the boy,
proudly. Father amt going to do
-washings-any long sr il l can gst
the job"
The car entered Congress square,
drew up in front of an imposing
stone building, and stepped. The
driver removed his goggles AMI
turned a pair of pleasant gcay eyes
on the boy. "Well, Edward Billings,
here we are-and--you've got the
job all right. Can you come in the

Edward Billings Henry nearly fell
off the seat.

All the dollies looked fat aud

Still, how strange to see so many

arms or legs. Quite few lacked an
eye or even both eyes, while some
seemed to have been scalped by the
Indians and needed a new wig.
Others looked as though their noses
and ears had been bitten off in a
hurry by cannibals. Many had lost
their fingers and toes. Probably they
had been frostbitten, or perhaps
broken. off playing baseball or foot
ball.
To the great sorrow of some little

as well as their talking and singing
dolls, had become too weak to per-
form their little tricks any longer,
but by the almost magical touch Of
this wonderful doctor new spring
revived them quickly, and again they
could walk and dance. talk and sing,

light Of their little mothers.

VISIT TO DOLLS HOSPITAL.

The poor little crippled dollies are

the cats and dogs or even the birds.
They have no private hospital nor
boarding house, nor does any kind
hearted society prevent careless,
thoughtless children from dropping
and breaking the heads and limbs of
the poor little dollies.
The dolls hospital consists only
of one single room. On the wooden
operating table one sees ball of
elastic cord, hammer and some
tacks. glue pot, pair of nippers
and also a pair Of scissors. These
seem to be the strange instruments
and medicines that cure all the poor
dollies' ills, administered by a prac-
tical, skillful surgeon, who must be
a jack of all trades. He is able to
attend to all the unfortunates
brought to this home for cripples, as
