Why an Amputated Limb Feels.

A very singular form of neuralgia is that
affecting the nerves of amputated limbs.
1t not rarely happens that after an ampu-
tated stump has healed the nerves of the
stump, being compressed in the scar, be-
come exceedingly painful. Curiously
enough the pain is not felt in the stump,
but seemingly in the extremity of the limb,
which has probably been buried for year
or more. In one case coming under the
the notice of the writer man whose arm
had been amputated above the elbow often
referred to the pain he felt in the little
finger of the severed member for years
after the operation. An old one legged SOL
dier, applying for an increase of pension,
said, II have more pain in the foot that
amt than in the one that are" This was
his terse way of saying that he continued
to have pain in the foot which was lost on
the battle field years before.
The explanation of this curious phenom-
ena consists in the fact that the terminal
filaments of a nerve are its most sensitive
parts; they are the "feelers." the points
from which the sensations start on their
course to the brain, where they give notice
that something is wrong with the outlying
districts. When the nerve is injured in
this continuity the sensation is often re-
ferred to the terminal ends Every one
who has struck his "crazy bone''-the point
above the elbow, where the ulnar nerve is
very superficial and easily injured
have noticed how much the sensation was
affected in the little finger, the pain being Of
ten greater than that at the point where the
blow was struck.-St. Louis Republic.

The Ammonia Bottle.

Several deaths have occurred as result
of drinking ammonia through mistake.
As this drug. is in universal use among
housekeepers as an agent in securing and
cleaning, for which it is useful, great care
should lie taken to keep the bottle out of
the reach of children, since accidents are
liable to occur which may result fatally.
1t is not necessary in this connection even
to know that the pungent liquid is made
from old hoofs and horns and foul gas
liquor. Presumably the chemical action
has given a product which may be adapted
for ordinary uses, but the danger Of stran-
gulation, of injury to eyesight or other
disastrous effects, will always remain

MR.. JOHN A. LoGAN's YOUNG DERBY.
very desirable, therefore, that there should
belong to every country gentleman stout
horse, at once capable of carrying heavy
weight, and active enough to get over the
rough roads with some degree of speed.
The horses having these requirements were
called hacks or hackneys, and they were
most highly esteemed, and when first class
brought prices almost as great as hunters.
In this class at that time, a hundred years
ago, were classed ponies, cobs, roadsters
and Galloways. Indeed almost any stout
horse which was neither hunter nor a
racehorse was called hack. But the per-
lection of a hack was horse between four
teen and fifteen hands high, with strong
shoulders, short back, strong, fiat legs,
sloping pasterns and hard, sound feet. He
was expected to walk five miles in the hour,
trot twelve miles in the same time and,
when called upon, gallop sixteen or eight
cen miles in an hour without once throw
ing up his head.
This was what they used to think was a
good hackney, and he was the general util-
ity horse Of every place, and fit for any kind
of work except racing and hunting. The
authorities of the olden time confess that
the breeding of the hackney was matter
of chance, and that however perfect an in
dividual horse or mare might be they
could not be depended upon to reproduce
their own admirable qualities in their
progeny. But more recent breeders have
been more successful, and they now have in

MIR. CASSATTS YOUNG WONDEh.
England Il class Of horses called hackneys
IS distinct in their characteristics as the
thoroughbred and American trotter, for
instance and which reproduce themselves
with rs much certainty as any other class.
To accomr:.' q this required much study,
many experiments and a vast outlay, and
it has only been done with certainty very
recently. The English love sport better
than any other people in the world, and it
is not wonderful, therefore. that breeding
of thoroughhreds, or rather breeding from
thorough breds, has been carried to an ex-
cess. The tho, oughbred sire has been
crossed and recrossed with all other kinds
of horses. no mater how great the contrast
between the classes mated. The conse-
quences have at times been almost fatal to
other useful classes of horses, and recent
ly read an official report in which it was
said that some of the Breeds what from
this practice ana from importations into
Germany, Holland and France, had almost
become extinct. But for the intervention
of speciality societies or clubs devoted to
the interests of certain horses these En-
glish breeds might have entirely passed
away in the old country. These clubs and
the enterprising members of them have
prevented this, and have, during the past
few years, rather improved such useful
horses
Mr.. Buraett- Cuutts, he who married the
very rich baroness, has been most active in
breeding hackneys, and the great improve
ment in these horses is by many conceded
to have been brought about by his expert
ments. Formerly as have said, the hack
ney ranged in height from fourteen to fit.

teen hands, and was better adapted for the
saddle than anything else. Now he is
not counted up to size unless he is fifteen
hands ami one inch high, and he is some
times even two inches taller. Mr.. Burdett-
Coutts says that fifteen hands two inches
and one-half is the ideal height for hack
ney.
This horse is now rapidly becoming the
fashion in. America, and during the past
few years there have been many importa-
tions of both stations and mares. The
principal importers have been DR.. William
Seward Webb, the son-in-law of the late
William H. Vanderbilt; Mr.. A. j. Cassatt,
Of Philadelphia, and Mr.. John A. Logan,

the buffet of single wave, is provocative
of nervous shoulders. When the weather is
stormy and preposterously disproportion-
ate sail is spread, the shudder becomes a
thrill of horror. Yet the lovers of this
sport seem more infatuated than the devo-
tees of any other form of adventurous
amusement with their special pursuit.
Within the past ten or twelve years the
sport has grown in public favor, and where
as there were not a dozen canoe clubs
in the country in 1880, there are now more
than 100, with total membership of some
thing like 1000.
It is impossible to resist the belief that q
considerable part of the fascination of the
sport lies in the danger, and yet there are
comparatively few serious accidents re-
corded, and every year witnesses large ac-
cessions to the ranks of the canoeists.
Probably one cause of the rarity of acct
dents is that only skilled athletes are like
" to be attracted, and another is that the
canoe is not as dangerous thing as it
seems to be- With club membership of
about 1000 it is probable that the devotees
of the sport are at least double that mum.
Der, and the present season, now just be-.
ginning, is likely to see the number large
ly increased
The 1870 clubs mentioned are scattered all
over the United States and Canada Al
most everywhere where a good sheet of
water-ocean, lake, bay or river-is to be
found the canoeists are to be found. Of
the clubs twenty-three are in New York

everywhere from Maine to California; one
being in the District of Columbia, one in
the Northwest territory, one in Washing

namely, Virginia. 1t is difficult, not to
from this number for special mention, but
it is at the same time impossible in brief

Preparing Sailed Almonds.

Sailed almonds are now favorite
dish at receptions, teas. luncheons and
even dinners and their popularity is
increasing all the time. They are ex-
pensive when bought at the confec-
TONERS, but here is simple recipe
for preparing them at home: First,
carefully crack the nuts so that the
kernels can be extracted whole, then
blanch the almonds by placing them
In scalding water, which causes the
brown covering of the nut to loosen,
when it can readily be removed. Have
ready pan of fine salt and when the
nuts are all blanched place the warm,
wet kernels into the salt. Then set
the pan away until next morning in
order to give them time for the salt to
soak little in the almonds.
Next day remove the kernels from
the salt and place them in clean pan.
The salt which still clings to them
will drop off; do not try to remove it.
Place the pan of nuts in the oven to
brown, and stand by them, as thew
require constant attention. Stir often
and bake quickly to light brown.
When done pour them into cold pan
and allow them to cool.

Among the Indians it pays for a
white man to appear to be an idiot if
he thinks his life is in danger. No
Indian will harm a lunatic. because

white man has lived twenty-five years.
He speaks Blackfoot as well as they.
and he can do anything he wants to
with the most lawless and savage men
in the tribe, He is said to have stolen
q lot OF finery from a Roman Catholic
Bishop on one occasion; at all events
he distributed the Bishops property
among the Indians. When it was
called for every Indian gave up
what he had. .We give up the
things said chief, because we
