STRONG PULSE BEATS.
Cases In Which They Are Perceptible

Cases In Which They Are Perceptible
to the Eye.
ut Is not such an uncommon thing"
said a physician, ito find a person
whose pulse beats can be plainly seen,
and yet suppose there are but few
outside of the profession who realize
the fact. In most persons the beat OF
the pulse cannot be perceived, but the
mere fact that the beating is perceph-
BILE does not mean that the pulse is
other than normal. l have come across
a number of cases where the throbbing
of the wrist could be plainly seen, and
yet the persons rarely gave evidence
of abnormality in temperature. They
were rarely feverish and were In good
physical condition generally. Pulses
of this kind, from this view, which Is
based upon actual observations OF
cases, do not indicate anything more
than an abnormal physical condition
In the formation of the wrist veins.
II have met with one case which was
possibly little extraordinary In that
1t was palmer and much more distinct
than any had ever seen before. 1t
could almost be heard. The artery
would rise to a point almost as large
as the ball Of the little finger OF a
child and would change from the
white of the skin to a blood purple
with each beat of the pulse. | found 1t
easy to count the pulse beats without
touching the patients wrist. l could
see plainly enough to keep the record
and in order not to err in my calcula-
ton | tested it In several ways and
found it was correct and that there
was no mistake in my counting with
the naked eye"

Have You Diplopia2

Diplopia, as its name signifies, Is the
defect which causes the eye to see two
images of the same object. or course
the drunkard's temporary diplopia is
well known, but 1t is possible for a
quite sober person to perceive two key
holes instead Of one, as the comic jour-
nails have 1t, and yet be total abb
stainer. Diplopia is usually the result
of squint or general eye weakness and
is necessarily distressing malady. AS
rule, the defect manifests itself In
regard to small objects at some dis
taDce-eight feet or so. For instance,
one lamp will be seen slightly above
another or to right or left. AS rule,
the false image is fainter than the
genuine one, but when looked through
the prism, which made me for the time
being diploptic, saw the second image
quite as clearly as the first, but with
a tendency to wander. The farther
away the false image appears from the
true the less distinct is its outline

A Story of Mark Twain.

When Mark Twain was beginning
his career as humorous lecturer he
one day arranged with woman ac-
quaintance that she should sit in a box
and start the applause when he should
stroke his mustache. The lecturer
started off so well that he did not need
any such help, however, for he caught
the audience from the first BY and
by, when not saying anything worthy
of particular notice, he happened to
pull his mustache, and his anxious
ally in the box at once broke into full
GUS applause. Mark was all but bro
ken up by the misadventure and ever
afterward carefully avoided employing
such help to success.
