The workings OF the human heart
have been computed by a celebrated
psychologist, and he has demonstrated
that it is equal TO the lifting of 100
tons in t~wcnty-four hours. Presum-
ing that the blood is thrown ont of
the heart at each pulsation i'll the pro-
portion of sixty-nine strokes per
minute, and at The assumed force of
nine feet, the mileage of the blood
through the body might he taken at
POI yards per minute, seven miles per
hour, l6S miles per day, Gl,32O miles
per year, or 5.;5O,ss0 miles in a life
time of 81 years. In the same period
of time the heart must beat 1869, 776,-
600 times.

papers in the capacity of editor. has turn
ed Democrat. Mr. Graham left Salisbury
a few years ago one of the staunchesi
Republicans imaginable lie is the son
of the late Col. Samuel A. Graham, who
during his life was probably the most
prominent Republican on the Eastern
Shore, and who held several offices and
was many times the standard. bearer of
his party in the State, County. and Con
grcssional district
Young Mr. Graham visited his old
home in Salisbury about the time Presi-
dent Harrison was nominated and
while the Republicans were jubilent over
the success of III: ex-Prcsident. lie was
in conversation with number Of friends
talking over old times. when the subject
of conversation changed To Mr. Harrl-
sons denomination. Then il was that
he gave the party general surprise by
telling them that he would not vote tor
ocrat because he believed the cxPresi-
dent represented the principles Of true
government for the masses The an
nouncement fell upon them like thun-
derholi from n clear sky II was the last
thing they expected 10 hear from him
This is the second convert To Democ-
racv from the Graham family. The first
was Mr.. Joseph A. Graham. the brainy
tariff reform editor of the Kansas City
TimeS There is no siauncher Democrat
in the country day then he. and on
Tuesday last Senator Vest introduced
joint resolution in the L. :. Senate draft
ed by Mr. Graham. authorizing the Pres
ny and France, as an inducemcnt To en-
ter into an international agreement for
free coinage of silver, reduction Of -
per cent. in tariff duties on textiles. hard
ware, earlhenware and glass. The reso-
luton was submitted by Mr.. Vest before
lis introduction Ia several of the leading
Democratic Senators, and after discus
sion it was declared To be u meritorious
proposition.
Mr.. Graham few years ago was the
editor oi a Republican newspaper pub

turned Democrat, bought the Salisbury
.idrCrtiser, was elected States Attorney
for Wicomico. Finally he sold his paper
and left for Kansas City and accepted a
position on The Times He has risen from
the ranks TO managing editor in few
years.
The family is a brainy, progressive one

licans and believe just as truly that the

Republican success as Joseph and viii
