DREAM OF AMPUTATED LIMBS
Feelings Of Those Who Have Lost
Arm or Leg Can Only Be Cured
by Tlme.

Dr. Edred NJ. Corner, the famous
London surgeon, has been studying the
dreams of persons who have lost an
arm or log by amputation, and he re-
ports some Interesting observations To
'The Practitioner" It Is we'll known
that after amputation tho lost limb Is
still felt, at any rate for time, and
such sensations are called phantom
limbs"
DIR. Corner says these are unusual
among the young but frequent among
the older, and they pass away with
time after eight months or year the
patient being unconscious Of the lost
limb except when he thinks about 1t.
A man who has lost one limb may
dream that he has lost both or that
he has lost the wrong one, or that the
one amputated Ia still there but seems
awkward or hurtsi the dreamer can
not bend the phantom leg or arm or
finds It stiff and heavy.
Badly fitting artificial limbs agra
vate the sensations, evidently by irri-
thting the severed nerves. Gold, damp,
changes Of weather and absence Of
occupation for the mind Increase the
sensations. The nearer the trunk the
limb has been cut off the worse are
the pains and the longer they are like
ly to continue.
Sometimes an operation or massage
win cure persistent case, but gener-
ally II has to be left to time.

A Voice on the
Mountain Top
By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD

W - - - NNNN ~
20. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
Louise Salisbury sat a little apart
from the merry crowd who were gath
cred on the rOomy veranda of the
Stafford cabin this first evening of
Peggy Stafrord's house party.
She was wondering Just how she, Il
sober, serious music teacher, had the
good luck to be included in this happy
go-lucky, carefree party. OF course,
she had always known Peggy Stafford.
And now Peggy had invited her to
Glen Mountain cabin for the whole
month of Julyi
Louise made up her mind to throw
aside her habitual gravity and for the
next few weeks initiate the light
heartedness Of the other girls, who

Succession. bandytng Jokes aNout their
clothes, their allowances, their love

Acting ON this determination, she rose
and pulled her low chair nearer to
the group Of girls.
At that instant from somewhere on
the mountain above, o voice resonant
as If projected through rnegnphone,
called down. Hello, everybody"
"The Turner'S have comet" cried
Peggy. "They have the cabin above"
Moved by sudden impulse, quite
possibly the result of her recent
thoughts, Louise picked up the mega
phone lying on the vernnda railing.
'Hark, / hear voice
Way up on the mountain top, tip-top,

she sang in her rich contralto voice.
The girls clapped and from above
came an applauding "13ravo Bravo

her head. She had unwittingly over

BIRD HIDES NEST CLEVERLY
South American Flery Topaz Knows
Well the Value Of Matching colors
to Deceive Enemies.

Perhaps the most wonderful thing
about the fiery topaz humming bird is
the manner In which 1t makes its nest.
In this respect It is a past master of
camouflage for a very observant person
or animal could be quite close to one
of these nests and never be able to dis
tingulsh 1t from the bough or trunk
of the tree to which 1t Is attached. This
nest Is truly remarkable on account OF
Its structure, and in appearance 1t
greatly resembles leather, colored to
represent the fungus and moss that
grows upon the trees In the Amazon
river region, where It makes Its home.
Still more interesting Is the manner in
which the nest Is attached to the bark,
as these birds weave It on in such
manner that It Is difficult to sec Just
where the bark or nest begin. The nest
Is composed of a kind Of fungus which
the birds gather and match their cOlors
so well that camouilage effect is COM
plete.
AZ might be guessed from tine name,
the fiery topaz Is mostly a brilliant
scarlet, which contrasts beautifullt
with the few blncR markings fYutico-
able on the neck, as wen as the green
on the lower part of the back. There
are no more harmonious colors than
green and red, recognized everywhere
az an outdoor combination that Is hard
to surpass, so one can imagine that
the fiery topaz compares well with the
birds Of the South American jungles.
Although member Of the humming-
bird family, the fiery topaz is noted
for the remarkably large size that 1t
sometimes attains, as the entire length
is often as great as eight inches.

Victory for Tact.

Speaking Of nurses, 1t Is surprising
how much a tactful nurse can accom-.
plish with little children, when an
equally learned nurse can do almost
nothing. Two little children-they
were very little-were about to have
their temperatures taken for the first
time. Mother could not be with them
and the two little things were bewIl-
dered and frightened and began to
scream wildly. The nurse present In
sisted that she take their temperature
IN the regular way and they kept on
screaming.
Then walked In young nurse who
was still training. but who understood
children. why not take the tempera-
ture under their armsT she said.
"See, dear. I'm going to give you lit.
tie gun to carry under your arm for
minute; both Of you are going to have
little gun. Now you'll be little sol.
diers"
The screams died out at once, they
proudly snuggled their little guns"
under their arms ana the nurse got
their temperature.-Spri Union.

Controlling Crows.

Various methods have been tried to
keep crows away from poultry, most
of which were Intellectual. One farmer
tried Ave different methods The first
was a sc0recrow, but this had little
or no effect. In the second place corn
soaked In strychnIne solution was scat
tered on field Of planted corn, but no
dead ones were found. No corn was
pulled and there was no appreciable
decrease In the number of chickens
taken. Third, steel trap was set
on pole near the chicken yard. with
out success. Fourth, white twine was
run on the stakes around and across
the chicken yard; this kept tho crows
from the yard, but the young chicks
would get out and would then fall a
prey to the crows. Finally crow
was shot and hung on pofe near the
chicken yard, after which there was
no further trouble.

pose, carried out her plans. When Bob
called she was busy writing letters"
Then, few days before the break
up Of the house party, Louise had an
adventure which resulted very unex-
pectedly-to Louise. She had been
trying not to feel envious as she heard
the other girls telling their plans.
Despondently, she left the others
at last and wandered down an over
grown path into the ravine which ran
for miles, bisecting Glen mountain,
Careless Of distance she rambled on,
never doubling her ability to retrace
her steps in place where trail was
more or less plainly evident.
Now In the mountains, when the sun
sets, 1t sets quickly-simply drops be-
hind some peak and is gone. Sudden
ly, to her bewilderment, Louise found
that she was being enveloped In twi-
light Hastily she turned back, and
was amazed to find that, while appar-
emily there had been only one way to
come, several trails offered themselves
for her return.
Startled and realizing that she was
on the verge of undergoing that dread
full experience, being lost In the noun
tains, she sat down on a lichen COW
cred rock to recover her thoughts.
Lost IN the Inountatnsl Wen, a
search party would find her ultimate
". she wished she had left word that
she was going down into tho ravfne.
Harkl What was that7 Was 1t the
wind IN the trees, or did she family
hear a voice2 Trembling little with
apprehension lest she was mistaken,
she made trumpet Of her hands and
called. Somebody answered. Again
she called--again the answer, nearer.
Then followed the rustic of trampled
underbrush. and dim form appeared
on the edge of the precipice.
A moment later her hands were i'm
prisoned in those of Bob. "The girls
missed you and I had a bunch you
were In the ravine. I've walked miles
along the cliff calling"
Louise started to speak--chOked-

"Why-why--but PeggyT gasped
the girl.
Don't breathe a word" he said,
but I'm hoping Peggy will be my

Louise couldn't speak for sheer hap
piness.

"1et us all unite In love-. How soon,
