Rap! Rap !
"Come in," said Yaurice . Carroll lan
guidly. from the depths of an easy chair
in which he was calmly reading.
"I beg your prdon," said Paul Carter,
looking in; "did pu say you were di,ien•
gaged ?"
"What, Paul !" exclaimed Maurice, rapt
urously, and seiz;n4 Paul by the hand;
"is it really you or your ghost ? I haven't
•seen you for a year. Sit down. What
have you been doing to yourself ? I hear
you have been an! got married I"
"I have," said Paul, sighing.
""Hullo'." said Maurice, opening his
eyes. "Married life unhappy ? Now I
come to notiec it, you look rather pale.—
Jealous of any one ?"
"Nonsense !" said Paul, impatiently.--
"Nothing of the kind. My wife is the
-sweetest little woman you ever set eyes on,
and DCVC.7 gives me the least cause fur
jealousy."
"Violent temper ?" hinted C:►rrol!.
"Not at all," said Paul, smiling. "You
don't know her; she is never angry."
“Then what is the matter ?" demanded
3 . laurice, Fwilethin . z i.
I know. V.Then a fdlcw conics in and ,ighs
when he is a-Led about his wife. 6' n i
thing's up. Come, what is it ? .I.Tnbosom
"Well, you know." said Carter, besi
tatia-4ly ; my w.n before - I—marriel her,
wac= a widow, and her name was Johnson."
"Exactly. Romantic name. Preceel !"
"Well, Johnson was a pretty good sort
of a fellow, I believe," continued Paul,
"though railer humdrum. I clin't believe
Mary loved hint so devGtedly while he
lived, hut now she idolizes him, and rever
ences his memory, and ail that sort of thing.
-Ah ! I see," said Maurice, nodding
sagely. "She's always throwing his great
worth at your head ?"
"Ye.e s." said Paul, slowly ; "that's all
about it. Continually holding him up as
an example for we to espy flow. Not in
an angry mariner, mind; but in a mildly
reproachful tone that is immensely aggra
vating. I can't stand it any longer."
"Yes; I suppose it does become monoto•
nous after awhile," said Maurice, commis•
erati ugly.
'But was the late lamented Johnson such
a model of propriety as she represents r"
"It seems so," said Paul, dismally ; "and
that's the worst of it. As far as I can
find out, he never did anything wrong
from the day of his birth to the day of his
death. If I could only find out any offence
that he had committed, I might bush her
up, but I can't; he never even thought
anything wicked."
"ll'm," said Maurice, thoughtfully,
"Well, I pity you, and if I can relieve you
will. Take a cigar, and forget Johnson,
if you can."
"I can," groaned Paul, despairingly-
"Paul," said Mrs. Carter, mildly, "have
you bought that bilk floss I asked for ?"
"I—l forgot it. Nary, said Paul, weekly,
"Ifow stupid !"
"Never mind," said Mrs. Carter. "John.
son never forgot anything I told him."
Mrs. Carter sighed, and there was a shot!
pause.
"Paul," she E d , presently
"Well ?"
"Do you think you can go to the station
to meet Mrs. Allway when she comes on
her visit to we?"
"I'm afraid not," said Patti, quietly.—
"My business will not admit it. I am
really very sorry—"
"Very well," said Mrs. Carter, resignedly.
"I'll go myself. But Johnson never al
lowed his business to interfere with any
project for obliging me."
"We can't all be like Johns tn," said
Paul. a little tartly.
"Very true," said Mrs. Carter, quietly.
"The late Mr. Johnson was a very good man
"Do you suppose be ever did auy wrong ?"
asked Paul, cynically.
"I don't think lie ever did," s. , Lid Mrs.
Carter, decidedly. "I'm firmly convinced."
Here she was interrupted by a ring at
the bell.
B. JACOB
A middleaged man was shown into the
room, inquiring for Paul.
"Mr. Carter, I believe ?" he said, in
quiringly.
And, as he spoke, he produced from
his coat pocket a bulky note.bnok.
"I am," said Paul, surprised at the man's
manner. "Do you wish to see me for any
thing important ?"
"Well," said the stranger, eoolly,"that's
according to what light you view it, in,—
You see," he went on selecting several
slips of paper from his book, "I have hero
f.everal little bills against the late Mr.
Johnson, your wife's limner husband."
"Against Mr. Johnsou ?" exclaimed
Mrs. Carter, incredulously. "You must
be mistaken ; Mr. Johnson left no bills
unpaid at his death."
"Perhaps you think so," said the man,
mysteriously, qut you're wrong. Mr.
Johnson was an uncommon sly fox, and I
reckon you don't know all of his affairs."
"What do you mean ?" asked Mrs. Car-
ter, looking as if she was about to burst •
into tears.
'This bill," said the man slovly disre
garding the interruption, is for cigars,

"Mr. Johnson never smelled or drank,"
said the relict of the late lamented, firmly.
"Ten pounds:," continued the relentless
stranger. 'This if for carriage hire for
self and frends during the two months
prior to his decease. Twenty-two pounds;
this is for a diffl-aer given by Mr. Johnson
n party of his friends."
('arter looked aghast, during this
revelation, while Paul stared helplessly at
the man as he continued to draw I;,rth Lill
after bill.
"G , L , od gracious!" he exclaimed, as the
thirteenth bill w:is laid on the table before
hint. "Von surely don't expect me to pay
for all this
row clin2;—
"Well, j rather thoudt," said the man,
quietly, "that you woU - 1,1 prefer to ray
these biNi and amid s,:and4."
"But I won't," said Paul. excitedly.
"I'm not ping to ruin myself' to pay the
debts or a miserable, hypocriticalspend
thrift."
"Just as you pltE , c," said the man,
coolly, gathering-up the hills and replacing
theta in his book. "We'll see about that.
I dare eay there's plenty mere coming—
bills, I mean. Johnson was a gay man, I
can tell you."
'A gay man !" repeated Mrs. Carter,
wonderingly.
"Well, well. lam sorry to press these
little things, but when people dance they
must pay the piper, you know."
"Mary," said Paul, when the nun had
gore, "what do you think of that paragon
of yours now?"
Mary's answer was a torrent of te;:r;
Iferidol had been shattered to atoms,
and she felt like a ship adrift.
"And I suppose that I will have to pay
these bills," said Paul, gloomily, "even if
we have to live on bread and water for a
year !"
* * * * *
"What is the matter now, Paul ?" asked
Carroll, anxiously, as his friend strolled
into his room, with a very downcast visage.
In reply Paul told him about Johnston's
perfidy.
- "How dot's Mrs. Carter take it ?'' asked
Maurice.
"Very hard," said Paul, gloomily. "I
don't think I'll hear much in praise of the
late liusband hereafter."
"I shouldn't think so," sa'd Maoriee,
laughing. -
"It's a great reiier," said Paul, 'but at
a heavy cost."
"Oh, if that's all that troubles you,"
said Maurice smiling, "I can relieve you
of your anxiety. Behold the bills !" and
he thrust a bundle ef papers in Paul's
hied.
"Why, how did you become possused
or then: ?" asked Panl, wonderingly.
"Well, the fact is," admitted Maurice,
"I wrote them."
"You?"
'Yes, I. I-sent the nutn—one of my

Tha Railroad S3ai.
There i 3 no relation of life in which the
natural salfishuess of man comes out so
strongly as in traveling. People who,
when at home, or among their friends, are
not only polite, considerate of the comfort
of others, but even self sacrificing in trifles,
often become grasping, repellant, morose,
when they get on a railroad train to go
traveling. Too ofteu they seek their own
comfort to the disregard of the rights of
others. A man will enter a train and take
a whole seat, and so arrange his baggage
as to cover the whole of it, so as to keep
any one else from occupying a part of it.
He only pays for one scat, and he knows
perfectly well that he has no right to oc
cupy two, and yet he does so frequently,
until he is forced to yield, and then he
does so with as bad grace as possible. It
matters not that other men may be stand
ing up in the cars; he rarely has the grace
to invite one of them to sit by him. He
sits and looks as forbidding as possible, or
turns his back and gazes out of the window
so as to prevent, if possible, any one from
requesting him for a seat beside him. The
ladi , 2s are in this respect no better than
the men, and they are more perfectly
wasters of the situation. She is protected
by her sex in her selfishness and her dis
regard of the comfort of her sisters. A
gentleman does not like to ask her for a
seat, though he has a perfect right to do
so. Even another lady is at a disadvantage
in asking her for a seat. A cold, haughty,
insolent manner and an intrenched air of
possession usually enables her to hold her
double seat against all eNnprs. The po•
liteness of men to women rarely fails in
America, and it is no unusual thing for
two gentlemen to rise to give a lady a whole
double seat because another lady fltils to
offer her a seat. Now in this case each
lady secures her double seat at the price
'of the discomfort of two fellow-travelers.
When it is a man who behaves thus the
remedy is comparatively simple. There is
even a sort of pleasure in applying it. The
passenger who on entering the car finds all
the double seats occupied by Luce who re
fuse to make room for him, dollen tempted
to pick out the most exclusive looking of
them and go up and coolly and business- r
like tell him to make room, and then sit
down by him in as roomy and spacious a
style as possiple, and then hum or whistle
some slow, plaintive air—kind o' sad like.
This inflicts agonies upon the exclusive
travele-, and gives to the new comer that
calm inward repose which comes from the
infliction of righteous punishment. Yet
how much better it would be for the ladies
to make place for their fellow female •
travelers, and to exchange the little courte- •
sies that brighten the journey; how much
better it would be for the men to promptly
make room for the new cowers and get in
to friendly chat by the way. This selfish
exclu.siveuess in traveling does not pay.
One does not get the most of the voyage
in that way.—Boltimore Gazctfr.
Faro Bi;i's Sermon.
AN EXCITIN‘; sWENE AT TETE CLOSE OF TITS
REMARKS UPoN THE PRODIGAL SUN
Many had, no doubt, conic through cu
riosity to see how Bill, recently converted,
would deport himself in this, his initial
sermon. Upon the stage, sat a burly, red•
faced man, with arms thlded in a careless
manner, who looked over the large audi
ence with an air or the most decided inde
pendence. This was Faro Bill, the speaker
of the occasion. When lie arose he glanced
around the tent a in anent, evidently col
lectiug his thoughts, and began : "Feller
citizens, the preaele.m. Lein' absent, it falls
On me to take his hand and play it for all
it is worth. You all know that. I'm just
learnin' the game, and of course, I may
he expected to make wild breaks, but I
don't believe thar's a rooster in the camp
mean enough to take advantage o' my ig
norance, and cold deck me right on the
first deal. I'm sincere in this new depar
ture, an' I believe that I've struck a game
that T can play clear through without cop
perin' a bet, fur when.a mm tackles such
a lay ow, as this, he plays every card to
win, an' if lie goes through the deal as he
orter do, when he lays down to die, an'
the last ease is ready to slide from the box,
he call the turn every time. I was readin'
in the Bible today that yarn about the
Prodigal Son, an' I want to tell yer the
story. The book don't give no dates, but
it happened long, long ago. This Prodi
gal hail an old man that put up the coin
every time the kid struck him for a stake,
an' never kicked at the sizo of the pile
either. 1 recoil the old man was purty
well fixed, an' when lie died he intended
to give all his wealth to this kid and his
brother. Prod gave the old man a little
game o' talk one day, and injured him to
whack up in advance o' the death racket.
He'd no sooner ?'
o'ot his divy in his fist than
he shook the old man an' struck out to
take in some o' other camps. lie hod a
way up time for awhile, ad' slung his cash
to the front like he owned the best payin'
lead on arth, but hard luck hit him a lick
at last an' left him flat. The book don't
state what lie went broke on, but I reckon
he got steered up agiu some brace game.
But anyhow he got left without a chip
or a four bit piece to go an' cat on. Au
old Granger then tuk him home an' set
him to herding hogs, an' here he got so
hard up an' hungry thati he piped off the
swine while they were feedin' au' be stood
in with 'em on a husk lunch. He soon
weakened on such plain provender, an'
says he to himself, says he : "Even the
old wan's hired hands are livin' on square
grub, while I'm worryin' along here on
corn husk straight. I'll jint take a grand
tumble to myself an' chop on this racket
at once. I'll skip back to the governor
and try to fix things up, and call fur a new
deal," so off he started. The old man seed
the kid a coming, and what do you reckon
he did ? Did lie pull his gun and lay for
him, intending to wipe him as soon as he
got into range, ? 1)i;.1 lie call the dogs to
chase him oil the ranch ? Did he hustle
around for a club and give him a stand off
at the front gate? Eh ? Not to any
alarming extent he didn't. No, air! The
Scripture book says he waltzed out to meet
him, and froze to him on the spot, and
kissed him, and then marched him off to
a clothing store and fitted him out in the
nobbles:, rig to be had fur coin. Then the
old gent invited all the neighbors and kill
c,l a fat calf, and give the 'biggest blowout
the camp ever seed." At the conclusion
of the narrative the speaker paused, evi
dently framing in his mind a proper ap
plication of the story. Before he could
resume, a tall, blear•eyed gambler, with a
fierce moustache, arose and said : "Tain't
me as would try ter break up a meeting,
or do anything disreligious. No, sir; I
am not that sort cf a citizen. But in all
public hoe doos it is a parliamentary rule
for anybody as wants to as questions to
rise up and fire them off. I do not want
t.er fuol away time a questioning the work
ings of reigion—oh, no. As long as it is
kept in proper bounds, and does not inter
fere with the boys in their games, I do not
see as it can do harm. I just want to ax
the honorable speaker if he has not give
himself dead away ? Does it stand ter
reason that a bloke would feed upon corn
husks when there was hash factories in
the camp ? Would anybody hey refused
him the-price of a squre meal if he hed a
struck them fur it ? Would any of the
dealers that beat him out of his coin see
him starve ? As I remarked afore, Ido
not want to make any disrespectable
breaks, but I may say that I have got it
put up that the speaker has been trying
ter feed us on cussed thin taffy, and no one
but a silly would take it in." Bill glared
upon the speaker and fairly hissed : "D.
you mean to say that I am a liar ?" "Wal,
you can take it just as you choose. Some
folks would swallow it in that shape." Bill
pulled his revolver, and in an instant the
bright barrels of numerous weapons flash
.
ed in the air as the friends of each party
prepared for active duty. The brevet
preacher was the first to tire, and the rash
doubter of spiritual truths fell dead on the
ground. Shot followed shot in quick suc
cession, and when quiet was again restored
a score or more of dead and wounded men
was carriedfrom the tent. Having secur-
ed attention, Bill said : "Further proceed
ings is adjourned for the day. You will
receive the doxology."
A Remarkable Type of Man.
An Afghanistan correspondent of the
London Times, writes :
'The next regiment to arrive was the
Fifth Goorkhas. A more remarkable type
of man than the Goorkha does not exist.
In the first place they are all bill men. and
therefore invaluable in any frontier war.
fare. Their absurdly small stature is com
pensated for by their great daring, activity
and courage. Their principal idea of hap
piness is bloodshed ; but at the same time,
they only exhibit this temperament on
service, and at all other times, when their
passions are not aroused, they are the
most charming and good natured set of
people a any natives of India. They laugh
and chaff and enjoy a joke like an Eng
,lishroan, and, I believe, are not too par
ticular about caste. Each man, besides
the ordinary soldier's egaipment of a rifle,
carries a kind of sword, or rather dirk,
called a 'cookery.' Their curved blades
are always kept as sharp as a razor, and
the astonishing rapidity with which they
can clear a space for an encamping ground
proves how ably they can use this, their
natural and national weapon of defense, or
rather attack. During the frontier cam
paign againq the the JowakiAfridis, they
are said tohave told their non commission•

only give half the regiment leave to go
off independently into the hills for a few
days they would guarantee to return in less
than a week having killed or captured.

Why is Pain a Mystery ?
Pain, when found associated with dis
ease, accompanies it as an accidental con
dition, but does not precede it as a warn
ing. This fact is well illustrated in the
history and growth of certain tumors. A
tumor of precisely the same nature will in
one part of the body be associated with se.
'yore suffering, while if it happens to grow
in another part of the body it will be pain
less. Nor can we rely upon the presence
or the amount of pain as affording any
criterion of the severity of the disease.—
Pain is often severe in quite haru►iess and
trivial disturbances of health, while, as I
have already pointed o►ut, it is frequently
abicnt in some stages, and occasionally
throughout the whole course of fatal n►ala
dies. Indeed, so far arc arc from beim.;
warned off from disease by pain, that it
would certainly be more correct to say.
with regard to some of our aCquired dis
eases, that we are in a manner I'►re3 on to
them by pleasure.
"The gods are just, an,l (.1 our id, writ vie
Make instruments to p;ague Ey,"
It has been maintained that in infancy
especially is pain necessary as a warning,
and we meet in popular essays on pin,
statements such as th , s:. - !: -Every man
owes.his life to day to the pains of hunger
which he felt when an infant; if hunger
were not painful, children would. not take
food;" "if falling down were not painful
children would never learn to walk up
right." But I would ask in answer to
such statements—as a matter of fact—who
ever thinks of trusting to pain as a warn
ing to protect infancy from danger ? I do
' not know of any infants belonging to de
cent people who are allowed to suffer the
"pains of hunger." I should say they
more frequently suffer from the pains of
repletion. I contend that appetite is more
of a pleasure than a pain—a pleasureable
excitement; this the infant has, as well as
the positive pleasure of feeding to urge it.
The infant's danger rather lies in being
allowed to indulge this pleasure too freely.
Need I point out that falling down is not
necessarily painful to children ? An infant
falls down many hundreds of times on his
bed, quite painlessly, before he acquires
the power and art of walking. Does any
one really believe, I am tempted to ask,
that if it were not for the pain of falling
down we should be going about on all
fours ? On the other hand, I may urge,
that the child who, ignorant of the pro
perties of boiling water, drinks from the
spout of a kettle and dies in consequence,
had had little useful warning from pain.
It is not pain that prevents a child from
falling out of a high window and being
killed, or from walking into the water and
being drowned, or from eating poisonous
herbs or berries. In all these matters it '
is absolutely dependent on the knowledge
and experience of its parents or elders, un
til it has acquired for itself a knowledge
of the common properties around it ' - and
most of this knowledge is conveyed by di
rect instruction from its parents and others.
Mr. Hinton appears to have realized,
though only partially, the weakness of this
argument, for be says : "There is nu ad
equate explanation to be found of pain in
the beneficial effects which it produces in
respect to our physical existence ;" and
then he adds, with something of self con
tradiction, "It serves these uses—is be
nevolently meant to serve them, doubtless,
as our hearts irrepressibly affirm. Now,
this is a typical example of a method of
reasoning which not unfrequently com
mend itself' to this often acute thiaer.—
It is a strange mixture of appeals some
times to the head and sometimes to the
heart. Ile can appeal to the reason, and
forcibly, too, when it suits his purpose to
do so; but the instant he feels he cannot
convince the reason, he fills back upm
the feelings. I know nothing more ditli
cult to meet fairly than this on and oft
kind of logic.—ne Contemporary Ri.f.

Only a Printer's Dream.
A printer sat in his easy chair, his boots
were patched and his coat threadbare, and
his face looked weary and worn with care.
While sadly thinking of business debt, old
Morpheus slowly round him crept, and be.
fore he knew it he soundly slept, and
sleeping he dreamed be was dead, from
trouble and toil his spirit had fled, and that
not even a cow bell tolled forth the peace
ful rest of the cow hide sole. As he wand
ered among the shades, that smoke and
scorch in lower Hades, he shortly observ
ed an iron door that creakingly hung on
hinges ajar, but this entrance was closed
with a red hot bar, and Satan himself
stood peeping out, waiting for travelers
thereabouts, and thus to the passenger
printer spoke :
"Come in dear; it shall cost you noth
ing, and never fear. This is the place
where I cook the ones who never pay their
subscription sums; for though in life they
may escape, they will find when they are
dead it is too late ; I will show you the
place where I melt them thin, with red hot
chains and scraps of tin, and als) where I
comb their heads with broken glass and
melted lead, and if of refreshments they
only think, there's boiling water for them
to drink, there's the red hot grindstone to
grind his nose, and the red hot rings to
wear on his toes, and if they mention they
don't like fire I'll sew up their mouth with
red hot wire; and then, dear sir, you
should see them squirm, when I roll them
over to cool and turn."
With these last words the printer awoke,
and thought it all a practical joke; but
still at times so real did it seem, that he
cannot believe it was all a dream, and often
he thinks with a chuckle and grin, of the
fate of those who save their tin and never
pay the printer.

The Corals of the Indian Ocean.
• Of all the wonderful sights in this land
of wonders there are none greater than the
wonders of the reef when the tide is /ow.
The ideas about coral which people have
who have never seen it in its living state
are generally erroneous. They know it is
a beautifully white ornament under a glass
s!ritle, or in delicate pink branches in their
jewelry, and they imagine living coral is
like these. Their ideas are helped along
by the etnimien niisnomer *of trees and
IA am:Les as applied to cor,l. I have never
seta it in the Seed' ;_•;ea lslautls , but
throu;.,,hout the Eastern seas the in. com
mon variety takt:: a laminated t;trm, not
unlike the large fungi to he met with any
summer's day in an English wood growing
out of the older trees. Flat, circular tables
of dingy brown, growing one over another,
with spaces ander each. These attain a
great size. extending ftr yards without a
hreak. so that th , bo!yro or the sf , :t is per
fectly level. This kind is touch sought
after by the lime burners. Anol her species
grows in detached bosses, like thick stem
med plants which the gardner has trimmed
around the top. These clumps grow out
of the sand, and stand up in a dull brown
against the white flooring. A third pat
tern is spiked :like stags' horns tangled
together, and is of a dingier brown than
' the first. Its spikes collects the drifting
weeds, and its appearance is consequently
untidy. There are scores of varieties of
corals and mad repores, but the three
mentionad ,ere those which priocipally
make up the mass which is ever growing
under the still waters inside the reef. At
Malieburg the reef is distant seven miles
from the shore, and thewhole of this great
lagoon is in progress of filling up by coral.
There are one or two holes left capriciously
and a channel which the river has cut to
the reef, which it pierces in what is locally
called a "pass." E7erywhere else the bot
tom is only a few feet under the water and
is always slowly rising. The various corals,
the patches of silver sand, the deep wind -
ing channel, tend each a tint to the water
—sapphire blue, where it is deepest, sea
green with emerald flecks, or cerulian blue
shot with opaline tints, in the shallows.
The reef is a solid wall, shelving toward
the shore, absolutely perpendicular toward
the ocean, and varies in width from twenty
to one hundred yards. Against the outer
face the rollers rage incessantly. Swell
follows swell, smoothly and regularly.
There is no hurry, for there is no shelving
bottom to keep them back. On they come,
separating their ink blue masses from the
tumble of the ocean, rearing aloft their
crest, like live things anxious to try their
strength, and fall with a roar on its edge
as it stands up to meet them. You can
stand within a few feet of the practically
bottomless sea and watch them tumble,
with tile water no further than your knees,
as the surge of their onward rush carries
across the reef. To stand so and watch
them c.nning on appears, to one unused to
tile sight, to court destruction ; the wave
is so vast, its crest rising higher as it ad
vances shuts out the sea beyond—nothing
can be seen but a wall of water rolling on ;
its strength is so apparent, so irresistible.
anti the pause it appears to take at the top
curies over ?mu to check your breath.
The rocks and lumps of dead coral with
which storms have strewed the reef are
high and dry ; the pools of limpid waters
in the holes sink down and drain away,
their surface glassy and their depths full
of color and strange shaped living things,
then the roller breaks and sends a surge
of water hissing by, and the reef' has sank
beneath the foam and babbling waters.
The Pulse.
Many erroneous impressions prevail about
the pulse as indicative of health cr disease,
a common notion being that its beatings
are much more regular and unithrm than
they really are. Frequency varies with
age. In the new born infant the beatings
are from 130 to 140 per minute; in the
second year, from 100 to 115; from the
seventh to the thurteentli year, from SO to
90; from the fourteenth to the twenty first
year, from 75 to 55; from the twenty first
to the sixtieth year, from 7U to 75. After
that period the pulse is generally thought
to decline, but medical authorities differ
radically on this point, having expressed
the most contradictory opinions. Young
persons are often fuund whose pulses are
below 60, and there have been many in
stances of pulses habitually reaching 100,
or not exceeding 40, without apparent dis•
ease. Sex, especially in adults, influences
the pulse, which in women is from 10 to
14 beats to the minute more rapid than in
men of the same age. Muscular exertion,
even position, materially affects the pulse.
Its average frequency in healthy men of
twenty-seven is, when standing, S 1 ; when
sitting, 71 ; when lying, 6d per minute ;
in women of the sane age, in the same
positions, 91, SI awl 70. Iu sleep the
pulse is in general considerably slower titan
during wakefullness. In certain diseases
—acute dropsy of the brain, for example
—there may be 150, even 200 beats; in
other kinds of disease, such as apoplexy
and some organic affections of the heart,
there may be no more than 20 to 30 to
the minute. Thus, one of the commonest
diagnostic signs is liable to deceive the
must experienced practitioners.
A Lump of Soft Coal.
For years no one bad supposed that a
lump of soft coal, dug from a mine or bed
in the eaAh, possessed any other purpose
than that of fuel. It was next found that
it would afford a gas that was combustible.
Chemical analysis proved it to be made of
hydrogen. In process of time. mechanical
and chemical ingenuity devised a mode of
manufacturing this gas and applying it to
the lighting of building and cities on a
large scale. In doing this other products
of distillation were developed until, step
