"Ta-Ta, Willie"

A handsomely-dressed lady and gem
tleman had entered the car, and large
and very black negress had also en-
tered, sitting down very near the off side
of the gentleman aforesaid, and next
to the door. The lady and gentleman
were of that uncertain age that made
it difficult to determine whether
they were husband and wife or
lover and sweetheart When the car
neared Eighteenth Street the gentleman
motioned the conductor to stop the car.
The car was stopped, the gentleman
climbed out on the street, very tenderly
assisted her whom he thought his lady
companion off the car step, and arm in
arm the couple walked to the sidewalk.
They would be walking yet, for aught
we know, had not silvery voice of des-
pair from the car platform wailing out,
"Willie, oh-h-h, Willie, aroused the
absent-minded young man to full reali-
cation of the color of-the female dangling
on his arm. With a glance at the ne
gress by his side and wave of the
hand to the deserted lady, he jumped
for that car platform, handed the lady
down and walked her off down street
at a 2:40 gait. As the reunited couple
disappeared in the deepening shadows
the odorous daughter of Africa, who
had awaited the denonement, sang out:

The Hearts Work.

AS with each stroke the heart pro-
iects something like six ounces of blood
into the conduits of the system, and as
it does so some seventy times every
minute and 4, POO times in an hour, this
implies that it does the same thing
100, 800 times in twenty-four hours,
3O,O00,00O times in year, and more
than $500, 100000 times in life of
seventy years. The mechanical force
that is eXerted at each stroke amounts
to a pressure of thirteen pounds upon
the entire charge of blood that has to
be pressed onward through the branch
ing net work of vessels. According to
the lowest estimate that has been made.
this gives an eXertion of force that
would be adequate, in another form of
application, to lift 120 tons one foot
high every twenty-four hours. Yet the
piece of living mechanism that is called
upon to do this, and do it without pause
for three score years and ten without
being itself worn out by the effort, is
small bundle of flesh that rarely weighs
more than eleven ounces. 1t is in the
nature of the case, also, it must be re-
membered, that this little vital machine
cannot be at any time stopped for re-
pair. If it gets out of order, it must
be set right as it runs. To stop the
beating of the heart for more than the
briefest interval would be to change
life into death. The narrative of what
medical science has done to penetrate
into the secrets of this delicate force
pump, so jealousy guarded from the
intrusions of the eye that it cannot even
be looked into until its action has
ceased, is, nevertheless, long history
of wonders. By means of the spyg-
mograp-a writing style attached to the
wrist by means of levers and springs

autographs of cardiac and vascular

Hunt; 4 guess he has been riding your
mare, also, and she has kicked up and
thrown him over her head, hasn't she?
Your mare must be vicious, dangerous
brute, isn't she, Mr.. Myers?'
THE distiller could not stand it any
longer, but said: Look here, Mr.. Hunt,

"And there is my story about Mr..

point, but the fact is | have noticed
Bill Myers mare great many times,
and have seen a great many men as
fearless as you attempt to ride the

great many of them thrown and their
necks broken. 1t may seem cowardly,
but | am afraid to ride her, and I most
earnestly advise you to get off while
your neck is whole, for | feel sure she
will some day throw you, and, perhaps,
kill you. L beg you not to ride Bill

Such was my story. was not very
delicate in its illustration, but is man
to sickle for the niceness of words

down to perdition on such a jade?

ton: "My young friend, take the adj

Don't you think these figures are rather steep2
Give us your basis of calculation.
TRUTHsEEKER.
We are all ''truthseekers;" all who
have any genuine claim to honesty.
There is cey.4.sinly no occasion to exag-
gerate the statistics of the liquor traffic;
they are sad enough, every good citi-
zen must confess; Notifying enough,
one would suppose, to shame the devil
himself. There is an error, undoubted-
ly, in the above estimate, but it is not
on the side that "Truthseeker" sup
poses. 1t is an underestimate, thought
to be sufficiently alarming, and inten-
tionally reduced below our actual COM
putation, for the very purpose of avoid
ing any ground for the charge of exag-
geration. But since. even this low esti-
mate provokes the above question, we
submit the following data as to the re-
tail liquor traffic of this city, remarking
in passing that there is reason to believe
that Chicago is not the chief of sinners
in this business, Buffalo having one sa-
loon to every 90 inhabitants and New
York one to every 1876 inhabitants,
whereas this city has but one to every
100.
From testimony given in court in
various cases, and from the prices of
rents, cost of living, wholesale cost of
beer, whisky. wine and other spirituous
and fermented liquors, it is generally
conceded that the gross receipts of the
poorest class of saloons average nos less
than S12 to $15 day, while the pfincl-
pal establishments take in from $3.50 to
$3.50 day, according to seasons, days
and special circumstances.
The following estimate is based on OBJ
servations made as to the patronage of
six Chicago saloons, so long ago as
1877, by the founders of the Citizens
League. The figures in the first column
give the number of persons, male and
female, seen to enter these places be-
tween seven p. m. and midnight; the
second column is our own computation
of the money paid in, assuming that
nothing but beer was called for, at five
cents glass, two-thirds of the customers
drinking but one glass, and the rest of
them averaging only two glasses each,
and the third column indicates the prob
able actual receipts, adding for the or
binary consumption of drinks more
costly than beer:
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1883-06-16

Observe that these are the receipts in
saloons where lager beer was the chief
drink; that the above figures cover only
the five hours after seven p. M; and
that liquors in kegs, bottles, pitchers
and jugs, ordered for home use, are not
taken into account. There are few
establishments dealing chiefly in whisky,
brandy, wine, etc, whose receipts are
at times nearly double the highest
amount above given as the daily aver
age.
To add assurance to our own calcula-
ton, one of the most thorough investi-
gators and accurate reporters on the
Inter Ocean local staff was detailed to
ascertain, fas nearly as may be, the
actual receipts of Chicago saloons. On
the data furnished by him moderate
estimate of the gross annual receipts of
the $3.50 licensed saloons of Chicago
figures as below:
