EI.I.EII'S DIARY

By An Island Farmers Wife

"Ellen?" we overheard James reply to a. question of Ka.rolyn'a this morning, "on. she's better - yes, I believe she'll weather it now! she's" he lowered his voice" painting the kitchen." We fancied we could catch the sound of a chuckle from Kalolyn. aware of James' liking to have no other in- terest on hand in the face of any busy farm project. "Yes" he said and there was obvious relief in his tone. "she's almost done of it." At Rob's the weeding is their cur- rent endeavour, and this year Jamie is his father's willing as- sistant. "But mind you don't keep him too long at it" James advised his parents. Baby-robins have come to bless the nest in the cool leafy depths of a lilac bush in the yard. there an event which has been eagerly awaited by all aware of the impending delight. Grand- daughter allowed a glimpse of this fascinating home on any outing Liiitlier. beamed happily at the news of it. In spite of Rob's intri- guing prccj lions over the extent of their family of kittens. the iium-l her IS now l-znown to be three, and, whether the two white ones are: prettier than a grey one is a sub- ject discussed by the small 0IleS.4 aucli times as they admire them to-, gcthcr.

Blissiully, she enjoyed rides on horse-back, with none to deny her the privilege. Onl a recent day. she must divide the; favors with Gaze, equally happy at the pastime. "Round about!” we heard James settle the disturbing question, in a voice which might be uiiscttliii: to the children, if they had not often proved the depths of kindness behind it. The' arrangement proved to be so time- COIl5l.llIllll,':. it was of necessity leiigtheiicd, while each one kept at carciul count and rode or awaitedt his turn. until the time for chor- ing brought an end to the field- work. Today, it was rain whichi set a, seal to it. and the weeding and carpentry as well, at. mid-i morning, and presently tucked the other members of the family the truck for an outing, left us complete the painting.

tumbled from an eaves-spout to the rain-barrel below. Yards were wet, skies down-cast and that. silence which takes over a. mom- entary deserted place. brooded not unpleasantly about.

And suddenly an alien sound shat'.ei'ed the stillness . . .a loud and startling bellow and a calf out of bounds from the neighboring paddock. flashed by the open door in a glimpse of flying heels, head- ed west. we settled our glasses to a better angle to make sure we were not being deceived by the unusual sight. But here he was again. coursing east. obviotisiy exulting in his first taste of free- dom. The very animal of which James had remarked at feeding- time this morning. ”A fellow could get a fair-good price for the like of this one nowl" It was most. for- tunate for our peace of mind that presently in "a growing shower” we managed by using many an airt "not learned of school" to re- turn the animal to safe haven. Ami it some day our posterity should be interested in learning how one woman of the line put last touches to the decorating of

this kitchen. it was while dressed in

her rain-garb with an ear and an eye trained to catch any unusual sound or sight out of doors in the absence of the farmers. . . "Looks to me. Ellen" James says survey- inz the scene about. at day's end" "that you missed a bit above that door - or is it. the same shade?

INSENSITIVITY T0 PAIN

Several years ago the captain of a university football team. who was also an intercollegiate heavy- weight boxer. reported to me with an arm injury. I found t-he arm izioken and suggested that we ad- journ to the hospital and have the arm set under X-ray with anesthe- tic, so as to get a good result. The player asked me to go ahead and set the arm as he never felt any pain when he was hurt. I told him that it was great to be a hero but we'd get a perfect result at the hospital which I couldn't guar- antee without the X-ray and anes- thetlc. I set the arm and he in- slsted that he felt no pain. I thought of course that the numb- ness which often follnws injury had prevented him feeling any pain.

It is possible for duals to undergo feel any pain. In the American Medical Assot-iationls Archives of Neurology and Psycliiatry. Dr. G. A. Mcltiurray reports a 22-year-old ratieiit who showed trom birth a pronounced insensitivity to pain. Her past history showed no con- Listen! response to pain. Examin- ation showed no evidence of any distress of the nerves which would prevent her feclin: pain. Psycho-

wme indivi- injury and not

iloizical tests showed zt superior in-

telligence thus refuting the argu- ment of "where there is no sense there is no feeling."

Experimental studies showed a complete absence of physiological response to all stimuli used. such as rccordinz blood pressure, heart iste. breathing rat:-. very cold

water, very hot water. electric shock and other methods of caus- mt: pain.

Not onlv was the patient asked if she fell pain but she was also

.ivndri' these painful methods. As a check. all these methods of caus- lmz pain and pressure were used with it group of control persons. At no time during the rxperimnnt using these various methods did the iiisensitive person report. a feeling or sensation of pain. She was always calm and collected under the most severe tests.

On the other hand. where there were changes in blood pressure. heart rate and breathing rate. but no pain present, the insensitive person and the control persons re- acted alike.

There must be others who are insensitive to pain. so I am re-
