Nantucket Pioneer In woman's Clubs.
1t is rather an accepted idea that the
dwellers at Nantucket, good thrifty
souls though they be, are deplorabIy
behind the times-a notion largely
founded on the continued existence of
the ancient street crier and night
watchman. In point of fact, accord

How It was Done.

This is what Mr.. Gall wrote on a
postal card one evening, and then went
five blocks to drop it into letter box
after addressing the card to the editor
of The Daily Bugle
"Mr. G. Charles Gall, of the well
known and justly popular firm of Gall
& Grit, leaves tomorrow evening for
an extensive southern trip, accompanied
by his estimable wife"
And this is bit of conversation Mr..
Gall had with one of his neighbors
who met him in the horse car the next
morning:
Hello, Gall, said the neighbor. 81
see by this mornings Bugle that you
and Mrs. Gall intend going on a trip

On the 80th Of May, 1881, a party Of la
dies and gentlemen went in an omnibus
from Washington to the country seat Of H.

Georges county, Md.
During the afternoon the party was
seated on the spacious veranda Of the
dwelling the horses and omnibus standing
ON the lawn Immediately to the front.
Suddenly few clouds gathered and be-
fore any rain fell severe and sudden clap
of thunder startled them. At the same
instant fash or streak Of lightning de-
seconded and ripped apart the southwest
corner of the roof Of the frame carriage
house, standing alone 200 feet distant, de-
seconded down the sheathing to midway
of the west or end wall of the car
riage house, then at right angles
apparently to the center of the wall
where the ciapboarding was ripped and
shattered; then struck brass tipped pair

midway, where stripof iron covered with
leather was placed to serve as stay for

passed down and out at the floor by the
closed door of the carriage house, where 1t

ing along rapidly in small coils or circles
up the road Leading to the veranda, to the
hoofs Of the horses, playing around them
with great velocity and then apparently
dissipated, NO one could tell where. The
horses We're greatly agitated, fairly trem-
bled, but did not move, and most of the
company ON the porch experienced a tin

stunned. The sky soon cleared.

The work of the heart is the circulation

it for distance of feet. This it does %

of 20 years The blood is propelled by the
heart feet each beat 207 yards each min
ute, miles in an hour 1863 miles In day

The total force exerted by the heart
every twenty-four hours has been calcu
lated to be equal to ia foot tons; that Is, IL
the whole force expended by the heart In
twenty-four hours were gathered into one

tons one foot off the ground. This being
the daily force, that exerted in year
would be equal to 1920 foot tons, and that

which they instructed their agent In that

$4,000 more than he would have got for 1t
if he had obeyed his orders from London
He joyfully informed his employers Of
his success, suppOsing they would share
