The autopsy on the body Of Robert
Hart, the one-legged notion dealer, who
died on the evening Of the Fourth, after
being struck by Thomas Fogarty, Pa
oifc street saloon-keepcr, brought to
light most interesting and, for some
time, pnzzlng study in anatomy. The
post mortem was conducted by Drs.
leyingston. Dennis and Blach. Every
organ, including heart, lungs, liver,
etc, was found TO be perfectly normal
and healthy, and the most minute in
spcction Of the spinal cord and other
vital parts failed to reveal any cause Of
death. The absence Of any wound or
abrasion puzzled the physicians, and IL
was not until the brain was reached
that the mystery was solved. When
the seat of knowledge was reached il
was discovered that there was not a
particle Of blood about the brain and
that il had been literally paralyzed by
the desertion of the fluids. The fatality
Is technically known AK anamia, or pri-
yation Of blood in the capillary vessels.
The brain, DIR, Leyingston explained to
a Chronicle reporter, is nourishcd by the
corpusclcs Of the blood. A rush or de-
sertion Of blood from the head conse-
qucntly leaves insufficient nutrition
for the brain to carry on its functions,
and paralysis Of the heart occurs. This

case, the disease, II such il can be term

to either emotion or the shock Of Fogar-

produced it, but from the prowess at

prop for his back in order that he might
not be toppled from his single under

Do not disdain dress and the little
niceties of the toilet; you may be q
very clever woman perhaps even in
tellectual- but for all that you can not
afford to be careless in these matters.
No woman with any sense of selt-respect
should allow herself TO sink into C
dowdy; but whatever be her trials, veN-
ations, and disappoinlments. she should
dress as well as her position will allow.
Do not imagine that we are advocating
extravaganza; on the contrary, Sim
plicity is our motto, which, il united to
good taste, will be found more effective
in the ewes of husband, father, brother,
or lover, than the most costly attire
which the milliner's art can invent. A
simple bow in the hair may look quito
as coquettish and fascinating as dia-
mond algrette; and cotton dress, il
fresh and pretlily made, may be as
becoming as silk; indeed, we have
often seen a cotton eclipse a silk Wo
mention this to illustrate the fact that
riches are little compared with taste,
and that every woman may dress well if
she chooses that, in fact, it is her duty
TO herself and those around her TO dress
as well as her position will allow.
Those who accuse us who write of the
fashions, and you who read, Of friyolity
and triviality, forget that il is just as
easy to dress well as il is TO dress badly,
and that TO dress ont Of the fashion
requires as much expenditure Of
thought and care as to dress in it,
Prairie Farmer.
