Death Rates on the Gulf Coast.

The New Orleans Times. Democrat
published on the I'd some sanitary
statistics which the health authorities
Of all American cities will do well to
study. This journal demonstrates
from oficial statistics collected by DR..
Chaille that the death rate of New
Orleans has been reduced from about
SO per thousand inhabitants in 1889
to about 30 per thousand in 1883. A
lowering Of the mortality by more
than one half in fifty years is a striking
proof of what sanitation a effect even
In a morbi6c region like the Mlssis-
sippi delta.
According to a table prepared by
DIR. j. S. Billings, showing the number
Of years in which human life on the
average is preserved In different Ameri-
can cities, it appears that for infants
under one year and for aged people
over 70 the chances OF living are some.
what greater in New Orleans than In
New York. The annual death rate of
the former is given as 25. 90 per thous-
and. while in New York 1t is 27.47, In
Brooklyn %. SO, in Boston 23. SO, and
In Baltimore "a 20. 1t is contended
that the high death rate In New
Orleans is due to the factor of NOR
tally among the colored population,
which Is large. and that by drainage OF
the many swamps in Its environs the
city's health can be still further i'm
proved. The experience of Memphis
since the yellow fever epidemic of 1878
rousing the people to build sewers should
encourage New Orleans to make the
greatest exertions to redeem itself from
the malign influence of its malarious
surroundings.
The Penn's Grove record., 1888-08-25

j. N. Semple, In the Herald Of
Health, recommends selr-massage as a
remedy for dyspepsia. His method is
as follc-s: First thing in the morning
and l&exhing at night rub the abdo-
men down the left side and up the
right in round circles, also rub down
the breast; now pace across the room
once or twice, and snap the lower
limbs like a whip lash, for exercise
Now twist the lower limbs, first on one
side, then OIL the other. and rock upon
the toes. Now for the lungs and aD-
domen; first take In a half breath, then
exhale all the air possible, then fill the
lungs to their full capacity, walk
across the room and back, at the same
time throwing the arms back. Now In
a half breath send out every particle of
air till o Q the abdomen working
like a bellows, and you will soon be.
come a deep breather. For more ex-
tended practice in deep breathing the
morning before rising is a good time,
provided there Is full ventilation and
the air inside is as pure and fresh as
that on the outside. In the winter
time before a good fire wash the hands
and wet the back OF the neck, arms
and lower limbs slightly. and rub
down with q coarse towel. THIS is
sufficient for a beginner, but the
chronic dyspepsia needs more extensive
exercise.

Facts About the Jersey FIsh-Hawk.

Watching the fish-hawks is a con-
slant source of delight to the people at
the New Jersey coast resorts. From
Sandy Hook to Barnegat these birds
are as familiar IS robins are to inland
folks. They are Of the eagle family,
and, though slitghtly smaller than the
national bald head, are very much like
him. Though birds Of prey, they are
far more tame than crows In some re-
spects. notably in the fact that they
build their nests in the most conspicu-
trees, often those which stand
alone in pasture lands. Whatever tree
they build in Is certain to die. The
phosphorus OF some other property in
the bits and bones of fish they drop
kills the roots of whatever tree they
inhabit. The birds are fond of the
Shrewsbury, at Red Bank, and there is
seldom a moment during daylight wheb
they are not to be seen lowering over
the river. They are able to see u fish
In the water from a considerable
height, and, seeing 1t, they close their
wings and drop like a bullet. They
strike the water with a great splash
and disappear under 1t. but only to rise
in q second or two grasp ny u fish IN
their talons. Just now travellers along
the roads of Monmouth county can see
the heels Of the osprey's babies owe
the tops Of the big nests in the dead
trees. The J%erseymen are superstitious
about killing them; indeed. no II ever
hurts q fish-hawk.

The bow of the Oceanic crushed into
the middle section Of the City Of Ches-
ter, cutting her almost into halves, and
causing her to reel under the terrible
blow. When the vessels were locked q
number Of the City Of Chester's passen-
gers were passed up to the Oceanic's
bow, and rescued IN this way. As soon
As the large steamer could clear herself
she swung around, and Immediately
began to launch her bosts. l
At the moment Of me shock most OF
the officers and crew Of the City OF
Chester seemed to lose possession OF
their senses. and several passengers
stated afterwards that some Of the
crew took the frat opportunity to climb
aboard the Oceanic, leaving the passen-
gers to cut away the boats. One OF
these was lowered rs soon as possible
and a number of passengers taken of.
Others provided themselves with life
preservers and jumped overheard. The
greater portion, however, were com.
PEELED to remain on the steamer, which
began to sink Immediately after the
collision.
Torrents Of water rushed into her
hold, and in five minutes after the col
lision the City Of Chester had disap.
peared. She sank in so fathoms of
water. Those Of the passengers and
crew who came to the surface were
picked up bv the Oceanic's boats. but
the greater number were drawn down
by the rushing water and never ap-
peared again. AS SOC rs 1t was
known that the collision had occurred,
3 number Of tugs and boats Of all de-
scriptions went to the scene and rem
dered what service they could In pick
ing up the living and dead floating
among the w~reckage.
The greatest loss Of life il believed
to have occurred among the storage
passengers, of whom there were 20 on
board. Only two Of these were &C.
counted for late this afternoon. The
others are regarded as lost. They were
on the lower deck Of the steamer at the
time Of the collision, and there was
no opportunity to warn them Of dan
ger or render them assistance after
wards.
The cabin passengers numbered 70.
and of these 10 are lost. @
