About
Pulse in
Human
Being
By WELLS ANDREWS, M. D.

rough-and-ready way its fulness and is best estimated by COMPRISING the
vessel with the index finger, while the middle and ring fingers, placed
farther from the heart, check off the pressure required to stop the blood
flow.
The frequency of the pulse depends on the rate of the hearts contrac-
tons. This rate varies with age, position, sex and a number of physical
influences. In the newly born infant the heart and pulse beat from 1870
to 40 times a minute. The rate gradually falls, and after the sixth year
tt usually below 100, and a further decrease of 80 beats a minute gradu-
ally occurs before the rate of manhood, 20 to "a, is reached.
When one is standing on his feet the pulse beats about 10 a minute
in the male and seven in the female oftener than when one is sitting, and
some five more over the rate of the recumbent position.
Movement and exertion of all kinds quicken the pulse and mental
emotion or excitement in nervous persons runs up the rate very high. A
hearty meal increases the fullness ana frequency Of the pulse, and so does
the use of stimulants in health, though in acute diseases the reduction
of the pulse rate is often the test of their beneficial action.
The pulse is less frequent during the night and during sleep. 1t
rises in frequency during the early hours of the day.

NO PLACE FOR ETIQUETTE
Prot. Isaac Schwatt Could Not
Endure His Coat on
Hot Days.

Prof. Isaac Schwatt, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who, besides
occupying the chair of mathematics
at hat institution adds to the gay
ETY. of nations by his idiosyncrasies
both of speech and manner, is con-
stantly the unconscious author of
stories that delight his many friends
and students.
During the past year Prof.
Schwatt had a class in higher math-
ematics in which all the students.
with a few exceptions, were men. 1t
is the professors custom to lecture
with a large sandwich in n hand,
from which, to p%unctuate his flow
ing periods of eloquence, he takes
a large bite. On this day-a partic-
ularly warm one-the professor had
covered two large blackboards with
numerals and was starting on a
third, when he paused, and, after re-
marking, "Vimmin, eggscuse me-"
pulled off his cuffs.
Ten minutes later he again ceased
figuring and, wiping his steaming
brow, looked reproachfully at his
girl students in the front row. Sud
denly he took a desperate determi-
nation.
"Vimmln or no vimmin," he
shouted, Isaac Schwatt takes off
his coat. To de pure all things vas
ure."-Philadelphia Telegraph.

THANKS DUE MISSIONARIES
They Have Made Possible the Ad-
of Commerce in Dis
tant Lands.

If the clatter of American har-
vesters is heard to-day from n end
of Asia Minor to the other; if the
Eskimos of Greenland and Alaska
and Labrador vary their monoton-
u diet of fish and blubber with
timed meats from Chicago and
Kansas City; if the natives of Equa-
toria insist on buying cotton sheet
ing that is stamped American"
and will take no other, u mer-
chants and manufacturers, instead
of praising the consul or the COM
mercial traveller, may thank the
American missionaries.

may turn your canoe or your cara
van, you will find them preaching
and teaching, living in native dress
amid the filth of Manchurian viii
lagos, moving with the nomad tribes
of Sahara, or sleeping in the Indian
wigwams of the far northwest.
When Younghusband, at the head
of his punitive expedition, crossed

GRAND DUKE GETS BUSY.

The Grand Duke Michael, only
brother of the car, having discov-
cred a life of idleness and exemption
from military service detracts from
his popularity, has turned to and
gone to work in a little provincial
town with a line regiment of cav
airy. Before there was a little car
owitz in the world, Michael Alexan-
drovitch occupied a most %unenvi-
able position. At any moment he
might have to become emperor of
Russia and there were reasons why
such a turn in events would have
been deplored. But with the birth
of the little Alexis danger passed
and the criticised brother of the
car was allowed to go his own sweet
pace. That he has awakened to the
responsibilities of his position and is
capable of r~esenting the attacks of
the douma shows he is not the sim
pleton they took him for.

EVILS OF STREET LIGHTING
IL Once Was Bitterly Opposed on
Both Theological and Medi
Cal Grounds.

Less than a hundred years ago
street lighting was opposed by the
very best men of that day on theo-
logical grounds as being a pre-
sumptuous thwarting of the inten-
tons of Precedence, which had APP
pointed darkness for the hours of
night. 1t was opposed or medical
grounds, as gas and oil were de-
clared unwholesome, and they
argued that it was a bad thing to
encourage people to stay outdoors
nights and catch colds, pneumonia
and fevers. On moral, philosophic
grounds it was held that the peoples
moral standard would be lowered by
street Lighting, as the drunkard
would feel there was no hurry to get
home, and late sweethearting would
be encouraged, whereas black night
sent people home early thus, preserv-
ing them from a multitude of sins.
They also argued that lights would
make thieves alert and that national
Examinations would lose their effect
if there were street lighting every
night.
Se%venty-five years ago streets
were being lighted with oil and gas.
Twenty-Five years ago the electric
lights were introduced and sys-
tematic lighting of streets began;
now there is scarcely a hamlet so
small it cannot boast of lighted
streets. And the men who are study
ing the subject say that the dawn
of artificial light is just breaking.

WOMAN coMPosEs OPERA.

Miss Ethel Smyth has the distinc-
ton of being the only Englishwom-
an who has composed a grand opera,
a work of art quite distinct from a
light opera, an operetta and a mu-
steal comedy. Miss Smyth is a
daughter of Gen. Smyth, G. B., who
fought in the Indian mutiny. She
studied music at Leipsic, for the
most part privately. There she met
Tschaikowski, who in one of his
letters prophetically wrote: "Miss
Smyth is one of the few women
composers who may be seriously
reckoned among the workers in this
sphere of music" The first Of Miss
Smyth's compositions to be heard
in London was a serenade, which
Augustus Manns brought forward
in 1890 at a Crystal palace concert.

sents a form of cowardice? How much of it in the aggregate of life and
living is a bald, fragrant vice?
In my observations the only true course for the man of honest work
and purpose is to keep clear tracks behind him. Walking in the open, he
can have no cause for devious, tangled footprints marking his progress.
There is no selfish reason within him prompting him to threaten against
Switching" Why should he enter into the offensive and defensive aIi-
ance out of which these false ethics, dscounting truth, have sprung? To
do SO is to compromise with all that wars upon the right. AS a man may
be better for concession to the weakling, calling for his sympathy, so he
is the worse for compounding with the dishonest one who would shoulder
shortcomings anywhere that they might be unloaded safely to himself.
That individual, or that opinion to which the Sinking one would
put up the false front of virtue at the expense of another, must be an
individual or an opinion vested with a certain right of inquiry. "Why
did you do this? ?" This is the question which the dishonest one would
shift to another for answer. To the one who assumes the obligation of

apply. And of greater significance is the fact that with this false assump-
