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, 200 times in an hour, this
implies that it does the same thing
100. 800 times in twenty-four hours,
$4,000, 600 times in a year, and more
than $500, $780, coo times in a 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 a
small bundle of flesh that rarely weighs
more than eleven ounces. Il 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. Ii 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 jealously guarded from the
intrusions of the eye that it cannot even
he looked into until its action has
ceased, is, nevertheless, a long history
of wonders. By means of the spyg-

A Stubborn Time-LOck.

CLEVELAND. May II.
The City National Bank at Cleveland has
had a world OF trouble with its safe, which
has been taken out of the building, charged
three times with dynamite, and burst in the
approved way of the highwaymen. The
trouble was caused by refractory
time-lock, which refused Ia act under
any circumstances. Last Thursday the
time-lock stopped and no persuasion would
induce it to behave. The safe was of
Damon make, of Boston, and three Boston
experts were brought 10 work on it in con.
nection with pair Of local safemen- No
good in the way of getting at the
S30O,0 stored therein came out of
their work. Strange to say, good
burglar was never thought Of. In the mean
time, at ten o'clock Tuesday morning the
ten tons of iron and steel were hauled by
string of horses and hugh vain into big
lot, and, in the presence of c1owd of peo-
pie and an escort Of police, given three good
doses of Czar-exterminator. On the third
it opened in sections. The money was car
ried away and the bank will have new
safe that is guaranteed to behave itself on
ali occasions.

HANGED BIZ A MOB.

The Doors OF tho jail ut Hermann, Mo-,
Broken In by . hand Of vlgilants-whit-
ney, Cringing Assassin. Taken From His
Cell and Hanged to Tree.
ST. LOUIS, NO., June6.
A special from Hermann, No., says that
the city was thrown into state of intense
excitement, shortly after midnight Tuesday
morning, by the lynching of Whitney, the
murderer of young Burchard. The mob
numbered about two hundred. They sur
rounded the jail, guards being stationed
with drawn revolvers to keep back the Curl
Gus crowd which was attracted by the
noise made in breaking the jail doors
The Jailer refused to surrender the keys,
when axes were brought. Whitney sup
posed the purpose OF the assault, and
crouched upon his cell floor and prayed
fervently. His voice could be heard ont
side. The Jailer was forced to lead the
way to Whitney's cell, which was
then forced open, and long rope which
the mob had brought with them was put
around his waist Half fainting, the
doomed man fell on his knees. When
once in the open air he asked leave to pray
again. This was granted, but as he con-
tinued his appeals to Heaven too long he was
jerked to his feet and dragged through the
town into a dense woods that covers the
bluffs, dozen of the lynching party warm
ing the crowd not to follow, and intimidat-
ing them by displaying revOlvers.
When the woods were reached, the prison.
er was handed over to dozen masked men.
He said his real name was Fisher, and not
Whitney; that his parents lived in Virginia;
he did not know whether hekilled Burchard
or not, as he and his partner, whose name
was Collier, fired five shots each. He then
shook hands with part of the mob, bidding
them good-by, after which he was strung to
a tree. The mob then dispersed.
: 1t was expected that the Court would hold
a special session to try the accused, but
when it was announced yesterday that the
trial would 60 over to the fall term the in
dignation was general, and threats of lynch
ing were made. The mob was quite order
Iy in its behavior. There was an absence of
conventional masks, and many of the lynch
ers were recognized.
Whitney was desperate of the James
stripe. He and another outlaw named Col
lier, after robbing several stores in Gascon-
ade County on the 10Th of last month, at
tempted to burglariZe the store of Burchard
& Lakes, in the little town of Bein, during
which they shot and killed young Burchard,
a son OF one of the prOprietors.

One Of Guiteau's Jurors Goes Crazy.

WASHINGTON, June 8.
The Guiteau case will never down fol
good. 1t has come into prominence again
owing to the fact that p. j. Sheahy, one Of
the jurors, has gone crazy and been sent to
the st. Elizabeth Hospital for the Insane.
The case is peculiarly pathetic in
some points. 1t is reported that
Sheahy believed that Guiteau was
insane and that the jury should have sc
found, but he had not the courage, in face
of the unanimity of the rest, to stand out and
say so. He was also afraid, it seems, of
what he knew was the public clamor on the
subject. Since Guiteau's execution it Is
said he has been continually haunted by re-
Election upon the case, and the conviction
that he had voted to hang lunatic, until hi,
mind had given way under it. His insanity
took fierce turn, so that his family were
afraid for their lives, and he has been placed
in cell at the asylum.
