FrescOing in the Capitol.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes:
In the dim, insuficiently-lighted halls
of the Capitol is the most beautiful and
elaborate frescoing to be found in the
building. "Flowers laugh,before thee in
their BEDS and one could almost add the
companion line, land fragrance in thy
footing etreads," so naturally do these
bright-eyed daughters Of Flora gaze cheer
fully up at one from amid the surround
ing dim religious light which pervades
everything here with an almost solemn
atmosphere. These flowers represent
almost every known variety in our Amer
lean flora, and were chiefly executed by a
German artist, who lost his sight, roor
fellow, in these dark halls, and now earns
a most humble subsistence in Germany,
making little baskets with those fingers
which once so deity held such an artistic
brush. Above the flower clusters, and
sometimes mingled appropriately with
them, are punches of our native fruits
white grapes temptingly translucent, and
suggesting coveted juiciness peaches with
the down still whitening their ruddy
cheeks; and succulent pears, and crisp,
appetizing apples, and plums with the
bloom Of nature" upon them. Then
there are birds Of every known species
and color, climbing naturally or futter.

Elephants in Central India.

In the region of Central India which
IS destitute of roadways Or railways, ele-
plants are the chief reliance OF the travel
er, bearing him in safety over a country
often impossible to any other beast of
burden. Even the camel is considered
less sure and trustworthy in difficult and
dangerous passes. But, when pursuing a
journey, the elephant is an object of great
care-it being necessary TO insure against
his declining in strength under the fatigue
of long daily marches. Several persons
are required in order to attend properly
upon the animal therefore, the mahout,
or driver, generally takes his wife and
children along with him TO assist in his
especial duties Morning and evening
the animal must have a bath, and before
he sets out on his march every part of his
body where the skin is liable to crack in
the hot sun-his forehead, ears, paws, etc.
must be anointed with grease. When
at rest, he must be placed in the shade
and relieved of his trappings. A simple
cord tied around one leg and fastened to a
stake sGffices to confne him, as docile
elephant never attempts to break away
from restraint
His daily rahons, while on the march,
consist of from twenty to twenty five
pounds of wheat-four, kneaded into cakes
with water, and a pound of gbee, or clari-
lied butter, and a half-pound of salt.
These cakes are baked in pound -loaves.
and one-half is given at each of two sepa.
rate meals. These rations ought not to be
abated IN quantity; hence it is important
that the traveller should look to the matter
himself, as the mahout does not scruple to
rob the elephant by way of providing foI
his own family. But the regular meals o.
bread do not by any means furnish sui
fcient sustenance for the huge beast. H
must be regularly taken to the jungle
where he selects and breaks off for him
self branches of particular trees-specie
of the fig are his especial favorites-and
loading them on his back, returns t
camp He there strips off the Leaves
which he rejects, and, by single dexter
Gus stroke with the delicate finger termi
mating his trunk, removes the bark fror
each twig, however slight, and then, di:

Errors About ApopIexy.

A RECENT medical writer makes the
following suggestions, which correct some
prevalent notions regarding apoplexy:
In conversing with several persons
about Vice President Wilson'S death and
its cause, have noticed that few have
right conception Of the symptoms of apo
plexy. The conditions. constituting an
attack are the rupture Of a cerebral blood
vessel, and consequent hemorrhage OF. ex-,
travasation Of blood into the brain. The
effect of an eXtravasatiJn of blood into
the brain substance is the same as com
preston by a depressed portion of the
skull, because the brain is inClosed in
hard, unyielding, bony case. Under these
circumstances the pressure caused by the
extravasated blood Interrupts the circula-
ton in the substance of the brain, and tie
apoplectic phenomena, such as stupor, in
sensibility, ETC., are in fact due to a de-
t1ciency Of proper supply Of blood to
the nervous mass. The mechanism is
practically the same when apoplexy de-
ponds on sudden and intense congestion,
or the plugging Of a cerebral artery BY a
bloOd-clOt 81" ,...' ..s..
The symptoms of the disease and imme-
diate cause of death are, therefore, due to
a lack of proper supply Of blood to the
brain, and not, as is generally supposed,
to an accumulation or crush of blood to
the head" 1t may appear paradoxical
that super1uous quantity Of blood within
the Uranium should destroy life by depriv-
ing the mass Of brain of sufficient sup.
ply of arter al blood, yet the fact is suffi-
GENTLY clear. The rupture of the, cerebral
blood-vessel is cue to the weakness of its
coats, which is the result Of general debil-
ity or previous ill-health. In the great
majority Of cases there are no premonitory
symptoms. The attack may be preceded
in certain instances by sense Of weight
or fullness, vertigo, flushing of the face,
etc, but these symptoms are never of sufi-
cient significance to warrant the predic-
ton Of an attack Statistics show that Of
sixty-three cases analysed with reference
to pTemonitory symptoms by Rocheaux,
they were present in only nine. less than
| 10 per cent. OF the WnoIe lumber.
| The liability to an attack increases pro-
gressively from the age of twenty years
| upward, occurring most frequently after
sixty years of age, which is due to the
increased weakness of the coats of the
blood-vessels in old age, and hence their
liability to rupture.
Its generally supposed that an attack
is usually preceded by strong mental e1-
element or violent physical exertion.
| This does not seem to be the case. Al
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-12-30

though attacks sometimes follow severe
muscular exercise or mental excitement,
IN the large proportion of cases the afee-
ton is not induced by any obvious excit-
ing cause. Gendrin analysed 176 cases,
and found that ninety seven lover SO per
cent? occurred during sleep, and large
share Of the others when the patients were
comparatively quiet. Another popular
error is the supposition that certain
class of persons who have short necks.
ford faces, with what is known as full
habit, with considerable em5Onpotnt, are
peculiarly liable to so-called apoplectic
constitution. Recent researches and anal
Uses of large numbers of cases hare de-
veloped the facts that no reliance is to be
placed on these or any other external
characters as denoting a predisposition to
apoplexy, and that the majority of per-
sons attacked are either spare or of ordi-
nary habit of body. After a patient has
suffered one attack and partially recov-
cred, the conditions which induced it are
likely to remain or to return and hence
there is considerable liability to recur-
renee. Physicians therefore conclude
that unless one attack has occurred there
are but few if any physical signs or pre-
monitory symptoms which will warrant
the prediction OF an attack, in any case.

Keeping Farm Accounts.

THERE are difficulties in the keeping of
farm accounts in such way as to show
the exact profit or loss in farming that do
not occur in keeping the accounts of most
other kinds of business. 1t is easy to
state the general principles that should be
observed, but not so easy to apply them
in the details of practice. The farm, of
course, should be charged with the capital
invested, and with all OUTLAWS, and
credited with everything received in re-
turn. Suppose buy a farm with suitable
buildings upon it, which, with the neces-
sary stock and farm implements, costs
So 900. That sum should be charged to
the debtor side of the account All sums
paid for labor, seed, fertilizers, etc,
should also be entered in the debtor col
umn. So far it is all easy, but IN enter
ing the credits it is not always easy to de-
termine the value of the returns received.
i If, at the end Of the year, the farm, in
consequence of the improvements made
upon it, or from any other cause, is worth
more than at the beginning, the increase
should be credited and go to swell the esti-
mate of profits, butfrequently itisdifficult
to determine the extent Of the increase of
value. The same may be said of the increase
Of the value of stock remaining On the
farm. There are many. items ofrincome
which are difficult to estimate, and some
of which are commonly overlooked alto
gether. The farm should be credited
with house-rent such sum as the farmer
would have to pay for the use OF house
like his own, if he were compelled to
hire one. The use Of his dwelling is
legitimately part Of the income Of the
farm. The vegetables from his garden,
the fruit from his orchard, the milk, but
ter and cheese from his COWS, the eggs
from his poultry and the honey from his
hives, consumed in his family, are as
much part of the income of his. farm as
is the money received for the produce sold.
and should be credited to the farm at
their marketyalue. 1t is not, however.
easy to keep correct account of these
little matters, but we. believe that an
honest and persevering attempt to do so
for a year or two will convince anv
farmer who shall try it for the first time
that he had previously no correct notion
OF the cost of living nor-of the profit of
farming.-Neao Era.
