Just how the heart beats depends
on the individual and on his physical
and mental condition.
Some persons have very rapid
heart action. 1t may run habitually
at 90 or 100 beats per minute. Usual

it may run down to so or 60. and yet

Young people. and especially
young women. have greater rapidly
Of heart action than old people. In
extreme old age the pulse is very
slow.
After some Of the infectious few
ers there may be marked slowness
Of the heart beat for a long time.
Diphtheria has a particular aim
ity for the heart. and real difficulty
may be noted even after a mild at
tack.
Pneumonia. typhoid and rheumatic
fever sometimes cause a continued
slow heart beat, or bradycardia. as
the doctors call it.
Extreme hunger or exhaustion
from any cause has slow-heart as
one of the effects produced.
It is observed as the result OF pain
and from the effects Of certain toxic
poisoning in kidney trouble and dla-
betes may slow the hearts action.
Any condition which produces
rapid pulse may be followed by slow
heart. This is the natural reaC-
ton from over-activIty. After vio-
lent athletic performance the hearts
action may drop down amazingly.

While comparisons of world trade

rendered difficult by reason of the
fluctuations in the value Of the cur

that the currencies Of the 25 countries

tain other commercial countries whose
trade figures are not yet available In
sufficiently complete form to justify
their inclusion in the tabulation here

parison Of their 1921 totals with those
Of 1890. In most Of the European coun-
tries for which 1921 figures are avail

the value of currencies has been less

"The mother turned her back on the
people a great deal of the time for she
wanted to watch her baby and some
times she could do so better this way.
''NOw the baby camel was a lovely
looking animal. AS it was very early
in the summer, or rather, quite late in
the spring, Mother Camel was shedding
her hair and she looked very far from
beautiful.
'The hair was coming off in great
ugly patches, but the baby thought his
mother was beautiful.
''She looked rather untidy with her
spring and summer shedding but the
baby drew up close to her and put
his head against her and kissed her.
He could not reach very much above
her great long legs and her hips, but
he stood close to her, his body against
hers, as it was the nearest he could
get to being held in her arms.
"And he could stand close to her and
feel it was the same.
His body was very gray, and his
two humps very soft and lovely.
HE belonged to the Bactrian Camel
family, and so he had two humps, as
all good Bactrians have, and his moth
er and his father thought they were
very handsome humps.
"The tips of his humps were of
darker gray and his humps were dark
er than his body, which was of soft,
light gray color.
"His tail was a little darker, too,
and he moved it from side to side as
though to show he was pleased.
Whenever his mother moved he
moved, too, for he did not want to
leave her for a moment. She talked
great deal and all the time, as she
talked he took good care to be with
her.
'For, though he could walk, which
child baby his age could not do, still
he did like to feel his mother near

Bobbed Hair Was Worn In

Philadelphia.-An examina-

she has bobbed and curly hair.
A rumor that the hair had start
ed to grow revealed upon ex-
animation that 1t was just as
long as 1t was when she arrived
at the museum several weeks
ago, showing no tendency to
grow beyond the approved
length.
However, 1t was said to have
disclosed that bobbed hair was

elite-in Thebes 2,300 years ago,

so, as I've just said, he was two
weeks old before he was out in the
yard where the people could see him.
Now his mother stood there be-

she dearly loved her mate and the
keeper had her mate beyond a big

the sons bones were brittle and the
