Easreme sensitivcness OF the Ftfth
and Dental Nerves.


Ea:reme sensis;vcness OF the Ttfth
ana Dental Nerves.
Which part Of the human body is
the most sensitive to pain?
a sharp definition must be drawn
here between irritation and pain. 1rri-
tatlon is not pain, but only a frequent
cause Of it. Thus, a crumb lodged in
the larynx near the vocal cords pro
duced violent Irritation and prolonged
coughing, which often results In actual
pain. SO, too, a fly or specll Of dust in
the eye sets up violent irritation and
, inflammation followed by acute pain
OF the surface OF the body, the finger
tips and the end OF the tongue are most
sensitive. For instance, a burn on the
fingers is much more painful than one
on the back would be, while one on the
tongue would be more painful still.
Deep wounds are not painful, as a
rule, save as regards the surface In
jury. or pains not caused by external
injuries. neuralgia Of the fifth nerve.
the one which supplies the skin Of the
head and face, Is the most intense. 1t
has frequently driven people mad for
the time being and sufferers have been
known to cut and even burn the flesh
in desperate attempts to relieve It. The
rupture of the branches of the dental
nerve in tooth drawing also causes
agony 80 intense that it has been stated
that no human being could endure it
for more than two seconds at a time

where wives Rule Husbands.

In the valley OF the Barca, in Abys.
sinla. there Is a community where the
women. without holding meetings or
agitations Of any kind. have enamel
pated themselves All the women work
hard while the men are idle; but, by
way OF compensation, the house and all
1t contains belong TO the wife. At the
least unkind word she turns the hus-
band ont at night. in storm or rain, and
he cannot come back until he makes
amends by the gift OF q COW. The wife
considers II a duty TO abuse the hus-
band, and If she were weak enough to
show any love for him IN life or grief
at his death she would be scorned by
her tribe. The wife. without any rea.
son. may strike her tent and 90. taking
with her one-third OF the joint possess
slons. The husband, unless he is trav-
cling. may not live out of his tent, but
his wife may go to her parents for a
year and annul, for the time, her own
marriage.

Grim Scotch WI.

The Peoples Friend cites the follow
ing as a sample of characteristic
Scottish wit-keen. grim and caustic:'
A certain parishioner dealt in old
horses, alternating his spells of labor
with heavy sprees. During the pc.
riod of depression which followed each
overindulgence John habitually took to
bed and there diligently studied the
family Bible. During one OF these fits
Of attempted reformation his condition
prompted his wife to call in the Rev,
Mr.. Wallace the parish minister. who
at the time happened to be passing.
"Oh. Master Wallace. come in and
see our John; he's rale badr'
whats wrang wi hlmT
Hes feart TO meet his Makker.' u

Quick as fire came the crushing
reply:

Historic Trees.

Litchfield. Conn.,. has more historic
trees than any other town in New Eng
land. Among Others are two elms
planted by John c. Calhoun. a syca-
more said to be one of the thirteen
planted by Oliver Wolcott, signer Of
the Declaration OF Independence, and
named after the thirteen original col
Onies; an elm which served as a whip
ping post in colonial days. and a viii
low tree which grew from 4 walking
stick stuck in the ground by Colonel
Talmadge the American officer who
captured Major Andre the British spy.

In some of the London courts there
are private dining rooms reserved for
the exclusive use Of the legal frater-

there hustled a gaunt female who on
being courteously approached by a
junior counsel fatty declined to leave.
Thereupon an unblushing Q. c. looked

The Goodwood race course is quite

top of which is shaped like a horse

being represented by deep ravine.
The course runs round the horseshoe.
the start being at the end of one
horn iald the finish at the end OF the
other. The result OF this is that the
euuestriuns who on other courses con
trive TO see both start and finish by
the simple process Of riding across
while the, race is In progress cannot
do so at Goodwood They must elect
which they will see and remain there.
On the other hand, the course is very
easy to follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are COM
paratIvely modern, but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days OF William
III. when we hear of the Goodwood
hunt as in existence. In 1900, howev-
er. the then Duke of Richmond made a
new course, which is practically the
present one. In 1901 the course was
completed, and in order TO celebrate
this a regular meeting was got up by
the duke with the assistance of the
hunt and some officers Of the Sussex
militia and yeomanry, and prizes to the
value OF about f1,OO0 were put up.
This meant a good sum in those days.
This was the first Goodwood meeting
of importance, and from that year it
became an annual event.

eANKRUPTs IN LIVERY.
Curious Laws That Were once En-
forced In EnRIand and scotInnd.

CurA0us Lava ihnt Were Once En-
forced In England and Scotland.
At one time in England and Scot
land bankrupts We're compelled TO
wear a dlstiactive dress. This was a
result OF enactments passed az various
times IN Scotland from the year 16OG
to l6Ss The Edinburgh court Of ses-
sions specified the dress TO be OF paru
color. one half yellow and the other
brown, something after the style Of
the dress now worn IN English prisons
by the worst class of prisoners those
who have attempted to escape or been
guilty of murderous assaults on Off
GERS. The enactment also provided that
the bankrupt should be exhibited pub
licly in the market place OF his town
for a period of two hours and then
sent away. condemned to wear the
dress until such time as he had paid
his debts or some one else had done it
for him.
Although this was a period of laws
which can only be described as fero-
eious, this law was such an outrage on
public sentiment that I'm 1858 it was SO
Tar repealed that the wearing Of the
dress was only compulsory In cases in
which fraud had been proved or, curl
ously enough, If the bankrupt had
been convicted Of smuggling. The
same practice was legal, but not gen
orally in force in England down to the
year 1896 The idea was. Of course,
to warn persons who might have given
credit that the bankrupt was not able
to pay. but popular sentiment soon rec
ognized that it was wholly unfair to
impose such excessive penalties on n
man who might have become bank
rupt through no fault OF his own, and,
as usual, when the law became contra
ry to public feeling it ceased to be op-
erative.

A walking Form.

Most ferns are confirmed travellers.
New fern leaves grow out from the un-
derground roots some distance away
from the old plant. The average OBJ
server scarcely notices this, but there
is a native fern that steps Off at so
lively a pace that its odd habit has
long furnished one of the unceasing
entertainments Of the woods. The
walking fern often carpets lodges and
tops OF shaded rocks The slender,
Suited leaf fronds are singularly un-
fernlilxe in appearance. They squirm
about and walk" by declining their
taper tips TO the soil and taking root
there and growing. In time clusters
OF new leaf fronds spring from such
rooted tips. BY and by some Of these,
too, bite the earth and, taking root,
start still other colonies, which in turn
will continue the progress again and
again. Naturr - with the lapse OF
time, the con.e etion between the older
tufts and the younger becomes broken,
vet one sometimes finds series OF three
or four linked together, representing as
many steps In the pretty ramble.-
