Feeling In an Amputated Foot,

Feeiing In an Anputated Foot
Many consider the idea that n man
can feel pain in an amputated limb as
superstitious absurdity, SAYS DIR.
William Waldo in the st. Iouis Globe.
Democrat, but this opinion is a mis-.
take. All the sensations that On injury
to foot would occasion. for instance,
may be felt by one whose foot is ampu.
tated There is a good physiological
reason for this in the fact that many OF
the nerves that furnish communication
between the brain are not injured in
their activity by the amputation oil
their lower portion, and convey sensa-
tions as readily as ever.
The brain fails to recognize the fact
that the function of the nerves has
changed, and that the part in which il
formerly terminated exists no longer.
Therefore, whom sensation is felt con-
veyed by q nerve that in the UNNAMED
body led to the foot, the feeling is the
some 10 tho foot was still in place.
If certain nerves in an amputated leg
be touched, the feeling is exactly the
same as il the foot was touched, and
the sensation OF pain is felt, not whore
il is applied, but where the mind has
been in the habit Of receiving commu-
nications from the nerve in question.

his father who is a professor at the
conservatory of that city. He recently
made his first appearance in London
at a recital in st. James Hall, when,
by his performance of such works as
Goltermann's concerto in A minor and
Servais' fantasia lie Desir"-produc-
tions calling for considerable executive
skill for their adequate Interpretation
and Max Bruch's "Kol Nidrei" and
other compositions calling for express
sion and sentiment, he fairly aston
ished his auditors by his extraordinary
technical proficiency, breadth Of style
and singular artistic insight. Not very
much larger than the instrument of his
adoption, he played with all the finish
and intelligence of matured artist,
and was promptly recognized as one of
the most promising of the many juvenile
ins.rumentalists who have recently
focked TO England. After several sue
cessful subsequent appearances Master
Gerardy returned to his home in LieQe
for time, then to England, and APP
peared at one of the Saturday concerts
at the Crystal Palace, as we'll as at an
other series of recitals given ut st.
James Hall. If, as Milton has il.
Childhood shows the man as morning
shows the day." there can be but little
doubt that brilliant future awaits the
talented boy violoncellist.

Black Cloth. Military Cut, Velvet Collar
and Gold buttons
A London Sunday paper published
the other day: "A quartet of young
Londoners have recently been seen in
a new and novel evening dress which
they are trying to introduce with an
energy worthy OF better cause. The
dress is the ordinary black trousers,
white waistcoat cut low and white bow
tie. The only innovation upon the old
style is a coat made of black material.
cut in the style of the military jacket
The collar is of velvet row of inter
minable gold buttons shoots down the
front. the sleeves have the perennial
army worm, and the general appear
ance of the wearer is that of military
man who in his great hurry has for.
gotten to change his undress jacket for
the conventional clawhammer. The
idea is ingenious, but il won't work.

Then strong, hot wind, like the breath

incredible speed and power that up

spectacle OF the approaching fire
given by survivors They described
IL as o veritable tornado OF fire,
accompanied by fearful roar. Dense
clouds emitted motors OF flame, and
these firebalis seemed TO be hurled at
the buildings and people, as irectly as
though from the mouths OF beseiging
cannon. This made the awful work of
destruction very short, setting every
building In the town ablaZe almost as in
simultaneously as though ignited by an
electric current. Many declared that
points of flame seemed TO strike out at
the panic-stricken people as they rushed
from their dwellings and fled to the
river. Only those fortunate enough to
reach the river at the very onslaught
escaped with their lives, and 'evcn a
large portion of those persisted. Some
who reached the banks in time
to have saved themselves had they inn
mediately plunged into the water,
thought to escape by crossing the bridge
to the opposite SIDE. The bridge was I'm
flames almost as soon as the dwellings,
and as the crowd OF crazed human be-
ings attempted to surge across it the
planking gave way aud dropped them
all into the river below, showering
Volley OF burning timbers upon them.
Some seventy people, mostly women and
children, took refuge In the large brick
quarters of the Peshtigo Company.
They were all cremated as thoroughly
as IL treated by the most modern meth
cd known to the art 1t Is estimated
that about three hundred succeeded in
reaching the river, wedging themselves
ih between the logs OF the timber boom
that occupied the stream. The situation
OF even the most fortunate was terrible
beyond conception. The water in which
their bodies were Immersed was bitterly
cold, while a maelstrom OF scorching
wind, burning fagots and bursting
bricks beat down upon the surface OF
the stream.
The logs of the boom OF course ignited,
and many of those who chung TO them
we're compelled TO release their grasp
and sink for the last time-too
much exhausted TO secure another
float. The terrors OF the situa-
tion wero greatly increased by the
fact that the cattle and horses In the
place instinctivcly rushed into the water,
dislodging scores OF helpless people from
their floats, crowdng and trampling
them down into the current.
One family, &c Is said, made no attempt
to escape TO the river, but quietly await
cd death In their own home, fully be-
lieving that the Judgment day was at
hand. Others, in whom the commercial
spirit was strong even In the midst OF
such holocaust, attempted TO carry
bundles of goods to the wa
ter and were afterwards found,

When, also, IL was true that the great
Chicago dailies were then homeless va

find half space enough in their
columns to voice their own woes, IL Is
small wonder that only meager accounts,
entirely disproportioned in extent TO the
enormity of the disaster, are on record,

fires.

In the year 400, or thereabouts,
workmen we're employed to put choir

told in the early English vernacular

off. But lots Of things happened |;
money got to be exceedingly scarce,
and the men weren't paid very prompt

of Labor then, human nature was
pretty much the same as it is now, and
the men knocked off. remarking: @No
pay. no work" The clergy were so
busy running the county political ma
chine that they didn't have time to ar
range the matter, and the finishing of
the stalls was postponed from time to

How a cannrr cared Tor a LInn.t

A California lady tells the following
story On bird benevolence. She dom
iciled at one time in large country
house, aud 10 some of the unoccupied
rooms linnets built their nests. Owing
to the Stats OF the shutters becoming
closed by the wind four of five little
birds, deprived of their mothers care,
died in their nest in one room. The
survivor was placed in the cage of a
pet canary and the latter devoted itself
to the care of the little foundling.
When the cage was hung outside a
male linnet used to assist in the work
of caring for the orphan, and in this
wav the little fedgeling was success
fully reared.
