JokERs OF WEST POINT.
oseer Ammunition With Which the
Revcille Gun was CHARGED,

Nps Sllol1tus
At West Point, among so many
young men full of health and animal
spirits, it is inevitable that there
should be plenty of jokes afoot. even
to tho extent of pranks constituting
breach of discipline. A favorite form
OF mischief consists In tampcring with
the gun. Once at least, according to
II. Irving Hancock, the reveille gun
was loaded with a peculiar kind OF
ammunition.
When the sentry comes In from
guard duty mt night he finds coffee
and sandwiches In the tent which
serves as cadet guardhousc. As IL
is not easy to gauge his appetite
there is generally a liberal supply of
tho sandwiches.
An officer and n member OF the
board of visitU.j were walking n
morning before rcveille. The officer
was dilating upon the wonderful air

gun was fired and both gentlemen be-
gan to sniff.

Irritation and Pain,

A sharp definition must be drawn
between irritation and pain. Irritation
Is not pain. but only n frequent cause
of 1t. Thus. a crumb lodged In the
larynx near the vocal cords produced
violent irritation and prolonged cough
ing, which often results in actual
pain. So, too, a fly or a speck OF dust
In the eye sets up violent irritation
and inflammation, followed by acute
pain.
or the surface of the body. the fin.
ger taps and the end Of the tongue are
most sensitive; for instance, a burn
on the finger Is much more painful
than on the back would be, while
ono on the tongue would be more
painful still.
Deep wounds are not painful. AZ q
rule, save rs regards the surface in
jury. or pains not caused by eAter
nal injuries, neuralgia OF tho fftf
nerve, the one which supplies kh'
skin OF the head and face, is the mos
intense. 1t has frequently driven ped
plo mad for the time being, and suf.
ferers have been known to cut and
eve burn the flesh in desperate at.
tempts to relieve 1t.
The rupture of the branches OF the
dental nerve in tooth-drawing also
causes agony so intense that 1t has
been stated that no human being
could endure 1t for more than two
seconds at a time.
