Sympathy Between a Living Body and q
Severed Arm.
From the Whitehall Times, I

From the Whitehall Timesl
In another place appears an account of the
accident that befell little Willie Cummings,
who lost an arm by being run over by the
cars.
When the lad was taken home, his arm was
brought after him. 1t was thrown into pail,
when the poor little fellow screamed with
pain. The severed limb was then placed in a
box and buried in the garden. Shortly after
little Willie complained of pain and queer
feeling in the severed hand. He said that
something was crawling on the inside of the
hand. The limb was exhumed, when large
worm was discovered in the palm of the
hand. large jar was then obtained, and it
became necessary to crowd the arm in, when
the sufferer fairly went into pa,oxysm of
pain. The limb was placed in a jar partly
filled with alcohol, and then replaced in the
ground The little fellow complained that
his arm and fingers We're in terribly cramped
position, and that the little finger and the
next one were growing together. The jar was
then taken up, when the limb was found
crowded and cramped as described.
This is remarkable, although such instances
are often related. In this case the little nine
year old lad was ignorant of what disposition
was made of the limb. The lad is very low at
the present writing, and some doubts are en-
tertalned OF his recovery.

KENTUCKY LADIES AND HORSES

The best information which reaches US froI
the various watering places, rural and mammal
is to the effect that the stock market is lively
with a preference for Kentucky brands

generacy in the matter of heroes and ideas, n
one can dispute her supremacy in women
whisky and race-horses. Naturally, therefore
Kentucky moves up to the front as the sum

gayety splays itself, whether on the beacl
beside the sea or in the solitude of the forest
it receives an additional shine and shove from

home, cultivating virtue and doing good
ought to teel proud and happy in the thoug h
that We are represented not merely by the
wholesome fluid which imparts such genia
animation to the spirit, but by Mary Jane and

The Leisure Time Of Bows.

| We would suggest to the many parents who
are perplexed with the difficulty of finding
the wherewithal to amuse and interest their
boys to give their lads every opportunity of
acquiring mechanical trade. The industry
and ingenuity OF a boy Of average ability, says
the Scientific American, may easily be made to
furnish him with a never-failing source of
amusement of the best order. The boy who
can produce or make something already be-
gins to feel that he is somebody in the world,
that achievement of a result is not q reward
reserved for grown people only. And the edu-
cation OF mind eye, and hand, which this use
OF tools and mechanical appliances furnishes,
Is OF great and real value, beyond the good
resulting from the occupation Of leisure time
Having nothing to do, is as great snare to
the young rs it is the full grown and no
greater benefits can be conferred on Youths
than to teach them to convert time now
wasted, and often worse than wasted, into
pleasant means of recreation and mental
Improvement. The boy, whose time and
mind are now occupied with marbles and kites.
may be Watt, Morse, or Bessemer, in
embryo; and it is certainly an easy matter to
turn his thoughts and musings into channel
which shall give fnll scope to their facul-
ties. AS to most boys the use of mechani-
Cal tools Is the most fascinating of all oc-
equations As logic and mathematics have a
value beyond accuracy in argument and
the correct solution of problems, in that they
teach men the habit of using their rejecting
powers systematically, so carpentry, turning
and other arts are of high importance
These occupations teach boys to think, to
proceed from initial causes to results, and not
only to understand the nature and duty of the
mechanical powers, but to observe their eff
fects; and to acquire knowledge by actual ex-
pertinent, which is the best way of learning
anything. All the theories culled out of books
leave an impress on the mind and memory
which is slight compared to that of the prac-
teal experience of the true mechanic. Our
advice is to all who have the great response
bility of the charge of boys: Give them q lathe,
Or set Of carpenters or even blacksmith's tools;
give their mind turn toward the solid and
useful side of life. You will soon
see the result in increased activity of their
thinking capabilities, and the direction Of
heir ideas toward practical results and, still
more obviously, in the avoidance of idle mis-
chief and nonsense Ito omit all reference to
absolute wickedness and moral degradationl
which are, to too great an extent, the pastime
# the generation which is to succeed US :.
