CnriesIIles Of Pain.

Most people are familiar with the
fact that person who has lost his arm
or his leg may have e1cruciating pains
seemingly in the lost hand or foot
pains, perhaps, that may appear to dart
from finger to finger, or from toe to toe,
just as lercely as he coald have felt
them If the member had not been Gu.
OF. He may find himself scratching
his wooden foot to relieve the itching.
Different from this is the occurrence Of
pain in a part Of the body at distance
from tho seat of the disturbance--in
the head, for instance, when the scat of
It is in the lower part of tho spinal
c,lumn; or in the foot, the seat of il
being in the hip-both patient aud
physician being often misled in the
case.
Unlike both OF these cases, is an
effect produced on one side Of the body
by an irritation applied TO the other.
In the case of paralysis affecting one
half the body, mustard plaster applied
to the sound side will tften restore SEN
sibiliiy TO the parAIyzsd side. The ros.
toration, however, is not permanent,
though ii will last several days.
In the case of aimilar loss OF feel
ing often affecting hysterical patients,
il has been fully restored by plaster
applied TO the sound side while, in
other cases, q real transfer takes place
the sound side losing what The affected
side gains.
In the case OF healthy person, how
ever, while sensibility to touch and
pain Is increased on the side irritated
by the plaster, II Is diminished in the
same ratio at the corresponding point
on the other.
We are in the main double, with Two
brains, Two sets Of nerve ceniers, and
two sets OF nerves going to the Two
sides of tho body. The irritation on
one side extends up TO tho common cen.
ter Of both sides, and thence down to
the other side.

Begging OF Mrs. Garfield.

A letter from Cleveland, Ohio, says
Since the death OF her husband Mrs
Garfield has received more than 1000
letters, from strangers in all parts OF
the country, begging for some part of
the fund which was subscribed through
out the United States for her benefit.
Most OF these letters have been delivered
directly to Mrs Garfield, and many OF
them have been sent to her cousin, Mrs.
Mason, with whom she stayed during
the funeral week, and next door TO
whom she is nov living for the winter.
Mother Garfield has also had great
many similar letter., and in one in
stance at least Miss MoIlie was appealed
to by correspondent who desired to
become her stepfather. Mrs. Garfield
has read ell of these letters aud then
burned them.
Soon after Mrs. Garfield came here
from Mentor to reside she received a
letter from woman asking her for sew
erAl thousand dollars to pay off her hus-
bands debts. She incIoscd = photo.
graph OF her insolvent husband, and
asked further that Mrs. Garfield solicit
President Arthur to give him clerk
ship Of some sort under the govern.
ment. Mrs. Garfield destroyed both the
letter and picture. Six weeks later this
same woman wrote to say that she and
her husband had enjoyed vacation
journey of nearly five thousand miles,
the delights of which had been i'm
paired only by the ever present recol-
lection OF her husbands debts and Mrs.
Garfeld's bereavement. While by this
time the public had for the most part
forgotten Mrs. Garfleld's sorrow, this
disinterested bat interesting correspond
ent begged to assure her that she still
bore il in mind and shared with the
nations widow the grief OF the nations
bereavement. She also iuclosed post
age stamp for the return Of her former
letter and her husbands picture, in
case Mrs. Garfield was not disposed to
grant her requests.
Several letters were received from
church societies asking for help with
their debts. One woman wrote for
money to buy nourning dress for her
self, and a tombstone for her son, lately
dead. Another, who had lost one hus-
band in the war. had married another
husband who was . worthless and un-
desirable companion. She wanted money
to enable her to leave him. A young
girl wrote for money for her wedding
arousaeau.
