Pearl River Notes

Old Neptune must have left his ocean realm and

clouds responded to his three pronged sceptre. Any
way the writer little sea hard by her habita-

a mder aspect, but old Boreas swept down upon

no destruction-Was left in it's wake.
February, the the shortest of all the months had
more red letter days this year than all the others.

The way She Dietsd,

The fat girl of this story is not a
myth nor a show person, but a solid,
private reality. Her fairness weighed
upon her, SO she went to a physician
to get rid of some of it. He drew
up a careful dietary. She was to eat
dry toast, plain boiled beef, ETC.,
and to return in a month to report
reduction. At the end of the month
she could hardly get through the
doctors doorway. He was aghast.
Did you eat what 1 told you?'
he asked.
"Religiously!"
His brow wrinkled itself. Sud.
denly he had an inspiration. "Any.
thing else ?" he asked.
"Only my ordinary meals. "-Ex

YOUR PULSE.
Some Facts Abovt thoAn&ssas1N
tie Asalth indicator.

oems Fact b NsoNn&oe9DeW~Ue
tie Asaith indicator.
The Brooklyn woman who was
recently reported to hsye HedSa$
midnightsnto the stseek, crying out
that she was dying, and. all because
her pulse was beating a little more
rapidly than usual, may be said to
suffer from ignorance regarding the
pulse, which is common enough.
Here are a few facts concerning the
interesting little indicator in ques-
ton which it is well all should be-
come acquainted with:
A regular and steady pulse which
is not easily put out of measure by
pressure always indicates a healthy
condition of the system. If, how
sver, there is an intermittent beat
ing of the pulse it is an indication
that the hearts action is faulty.
You need not, however, take alarm,
since there is no portion of the
body, no matter how vital, which
does not get out Of order many
times in the year. If the pulse is
beating very rapidly the nervous
system is out Of order. When fe-
yer is present the action is rapid
and very full, and there is evident
distention of the vein.
If you are a healthy person in
the prime of life your pulse will
move at the rate of seventy-two
beats to the minute, though the
number will vary according to the
hour of the day. Do not think,
however, that you r more vigor-
Gus than others because your pulse
beats at the rate Of 80 or 90 to the
minute. One whose pulse beats at
the rate of only 40 or As is as like
ly to be quite as vigorous. Artists,
declares Ribot, a French physician,
as a rule, have a normal pulse action
of 70 to "a; mathematicians, from
so to 20; laborers, from IS to 6s.
The French DR.. Quetelet has
drawn up a table showing the &C
ton of the pulse at different stages
of life. At birth the little indi-
Gator gallops along at the rate Of
1876 to the minute; at five years, at
the rate of SO; from ten to fifteen,
at a rate of IS. Here a drop oc-
ours, and between fifteen and TWEEN
ty there is a fall to So. Between
twenty-five and thirty the rate is
II; between thirty and fifty, about
70. During recent years the exact
state of any given heart has been
gaugeable, owing to the invention
known as the sphygmograph, which
registers the action Of the pulse and
so tells the truth about the heart.
Any doctor can tell you whether
your heart is weak or strong and,
without a doubt, whether a sudden
death is likely to be your portion

Settled the Suvuson.

The surgeon of a military station
during the civil war was noted for
his flowery language, which never
failed even under the most trying
circumstances. He was not popular,
and the officers treated him at times
with scant courtesy. On one occa-
sion the colonel appropriated the
surgeons tent for a mess table
without the formality Of stating his
intentions. The surgeon sent q
complaint to the general in COM
mand, in which he said, ri have not
20 much as a fly to interpose be-
tween my head and the star decked
heavens above me-" This document
went through the usual routine and
was at last returned to the surgeon
with the following Endorsement:
Colonel B. will cause a fly to inter
pose between the head of the CON-
plainant and the star decked heay-
ems above him a. soon Is possible"

''You take the little fellow. dearie,"
called Mrs. Thill as she leaped at the
taller of the two men, "Ill try and
look after this one
Surprised by the suddenness of the
attack. the robber was hurled TO the
pavement and quick as n flash the
long hatpin was jabbing him
The robber was fighting a losing
battle when he was rescued by his
Comrade. who felled Thill with a blow
and then turned on Mrs. Thill An In
stant later the men disappeared down
the alley.
