Less of the United states steamer Ashuelot.

Hone KONG, Feb 21.-The United States
steamer Ashuelot is lost. All her officers
drowned. The Ashuelot was an iron-paddle
vessel, carried six guns, and was 736 tons
burthen.
WAsHINGToN Feb. 21.-No information of
Che loss OF the United States steamer Ashue-
lot has been received at the Navy Depart
ment. The report, however, was not at all
discredted, as the vessel was not considered
' very seaworthy. In fact, she was the laugh
ing stock among naval officers. She was
paddle-wheel, thin-plated iron ship of 1870
tons displacement and was what is known
As a double ender." She was built in 1868
Cor the purpose of river navigation during
che war, and was used in the blockade.

Importance Of Fresh Air.


More fresh air and less medicine" is
maxim which multitudes would be
wise to adopt. Unless the lungs are
constantly supplied with an abundance
of fresh air perfect health can not be pre-
served.
This is very trite remark; but peo-
pie need TO have the matter brought be-
fore them often, for they will sit and
sleep in close, ill-ventilated rooms, if
there Is the slightest pretext for 60 do.

That the external atmosphere often
contains great impurities there is no

Sunshine aud Sleep,

Sleepless people-and they are many
in America-should court the sun. The
very worst soporific is laudanum, and
the very best sunshine. Therefore, it
is very plain that poor sleepers should
pass as many hours as possible in the
sunshine, and as few as possible in the
shade. Many women are martyrs, and
yet they do not know it. They shut the
sunshine out of their houses and their
hearts, they wear wells, they carry par
aso|s, they do all possible to keep off the
subtlest and yet most potent influence
which is intended to give them strength
and beauty and cheeriulness. Is it not
time to change this, and so get color and
roses in their pale cheeks, strength in
their weak backs, and courage In tleir
timid souls? The women Of America
are pale and delicate; they may be
blooming and strong; and the sunlight
will be potent influence in this trans
formation.

A Study In Anatomy That Puz-
Zled the San Francisco Doctors.

A Study In Anatomy That Puz-
zled the San Francisco Doctors.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The autopsyon the body of Robert
Hart, the one legged notion dealer, who
died on the evening of the 4th, after
being struck by Thomas Fogarty, Paci-
fic street saloon-keeper, brought to light
4 most interesting and for some time
puzzling study in anatomy. The post
mortem was conducted by Drs. Levings g.
ton, Dennis and Blach. Every organ,
including heart, lungs, liver, etc, was
found to be perfectly normal and healthy
and the most minute inspection of the
spinal cord and other vital parts failed
to reveal any cause of death. The alb
sence of any wound or abrasion puzzled
the physicians. and it was not until the
the brain was reached that the mystery
was solved. When the seat of know1-
edge was reached it was discovered that
there was not particle of blood about
the brain and that it had been literally
paralyzed by the desertion of the fluids.
The fatality is technically known as
an@Eia, Or privation Of blood
Or. LevingstOn explained to Chronicle
reporter, is nourished by the oxygen in
the corpuscles of the blood. A rush or
desertion of blood from the head conse-
quently leaves insufficient nutrition for
the brain to carry ON its functions and a
paralysis of the heart occurs. This will
cause death from three and a half to five
minutes. Painting fits are form OF
an@mia, but seldom of sufficient sever
ity to result fatally. In Harris ease the
disease, fsuch it can be termed, was
not due to force or violence, but either
emotion or the shock.:of Fogarty' g sudden
attack. Fright may have produced it,
but from the proves attributed to the
deceased by his friends it was more
likely that the emotion was one of rage.

pied from his single understanding. He
scarcely knew what fear wee, 30 selfre-
liant was he, so that the responsibility

being literally knocked OUT by the
suddeness of Fogarty's blow.

How to Make Cows Give MIX

A writer in the Southern Farmer saws
that his cow gives all the milk that is
wanted in family Of eight, and that
from it, after taking all that is required
for other purposes, 210 pounds of butter
were made this year. This is in part
his treatment of the COW: IF you de-
sire to get a large yield of rich milk,
give your cows ever day water slightly
warmed and slightly sailed, in which
bran has been stirred at the rate of one
quart TO two gallons of water. You will
find. if you have this daily practice, that
your COW will give 25 per cent. more milk
immediately under the effects of it, and
she will become SO attached to the diet
as to refuse to drink clear water unless
very, thirsty; but this mess she will
drink almost any time and ask for more.
The amount of this drink necessary is an
ordinary pail at time, morpisg, noon
and night.
