"One can think," says the writer. “of few situations in lite so likely to throw the nerves out of gear as an unexpected development in the mat oi a most delicate operation, but so wonderiully trained is the modern surgeon, and so completely under control is his whole nervous ; organism, that he will sometimes fol- low out a new line of action without causing those about him to suspect ! thattheoriginalplanhasbeenaban- " doned. The reader will perceive that p: this steadiness oi nerve and this \ superb adaptability of mind could hardly be possible without the dis- coveries of Simpson and Lister; and here we arrive at the chief factor in the romance of modern surgery. It t is easy to be grateful for anaestheSia, 1‘ easy to realize the diflerence between c the conscious and unconscious patient , under the knife of the surgeon; but c the mercies of anaesthesia do not 1 stop here. A more sensitive type of I man can now become a. surgeon, and . , the profession attracts a higher and l ,, nobler order of mind.

A devim of an inch, as UK ubcdience to the irreparulflu dama ed; the heart ecu soul would no 11 mess itself on that went. “The perfect Surgeon depends as much on natural gifts as in eXperi- ence. It is essential that he should be a man who lollows inspiration and never checks at an unexpected development in the case he is con- ducting. Suppose, for instance, that the physician has sent him a case of a deep-seated internal abscess, and that all his preparations have been made to this end; it may be that, on making the incision and exposing the aflected part to the. finger or to the eye, he discovers that the case is not ‘one of abscess, but of cancer. ln~ stantly he must alter all his plans. The day’s arrangements may be thrown out of gear. but without flurry, without nervousness, without a fraction's loss of his natural calm, the surgeon must put aside the dis- positions so carefully planned and prepared for, and pursue an entirely new line of action. I have heard my friend say that this adaptability to the swift changes of a situation is one of the iirst necessities in a great Isurgeon. Like a good general in the field, he must be master, not the servant of his plan, and must be .rt.’ady at a moment’s notice to aban- ‘ilon it for another should the un- lexixrcted occur. But, at the same . time, this elasticity of intention and ,Iextrenie swii‘tness of thought must i‘walk with the steadiness of nerve I and ahSolute freedom from agitation 'fnore. readily associated with the gtnrgid and slowâ€"moving brain. It ’éis essential that the surgeon should ' he passionless and quiet, and that he 'should have complete command over ' the machinery of his body.

It. is not once in a generation that an English judge is found guilty of participeting. in a miscarriage of jus- ___IA_-A_ r“. v-vâ€"‘vâ€"vvâ€"O _ ice, and therefore the position in which the Beck Commission places Sir Forrest Fulton is almost with- out precedent in our generation. What will happen no'w that the report places the chief reSponsibility of the terrible wrong done Beck on the judge who tried and convicted him 9_. 13-... 0"“3' .â€" ___,, can be easily deduced. That Sir For- rest would continue to discharge ju- dicial functions, even if public opin- lon consented, is inconceivable. His retirement will follow as a matter of course, and the ruin of Beck’s life will have as a tragic sequel the ruin of a notable career on the bench and at the bar. That there will be changes among the permanent offi- cials at the Home Oilice is also as- sured, for this department has been strongly censured. The Government will make what amends it .can, giv- ing ruin and dise'race for ruin and imprisonment. The name of Beck will become as famous in legal and p0-â€" lice circles as that. of the Tichborne claimant, and there will be an end of the case which has at- tracted attention all over the world. John Smith, the Jew. The story of the Deck ease in its essential details will hear repetition. The story of the Beck case in its essential details will bear repetition. In 1877 a. Jew, mung the. name of John Smith, was arrested in Lon- don and sent to prison for a term of don and sent to prison for a term of 1c years. He was convicted of having 01 victimized a. number of women, re- t? presenting himself to them as a “ friend and patron and thereby get- “ ting I.)OSSL‘SSl0n of rings and wearing I apparel on the pretence that he. wish- V ed to make them gifts of similar ar- t ticles and desired tae stolen goods as 11' models. Smith served his time, and r then was lost sigl of by the Metro- t politan police. In 1896 there was an c outbreak of exactl)r the. same kind of ‘ crime. Every detail of the frauds of c 1877 Was duplicated. The swindler even assumed the same name, that of ] Lord \Viiloughhv. Letters given his 1 victims were shown to be in the. 4 same handwriting as those employed ‘ 19 years ‘i‘iel‘ore, It was only natural to suppose that the criminal in both cases was the same man. This is the Vital point in the Beck case. Adolf Deck, the Norwegian. the perpetrator 0 was Mr. Adolf Beck, a Norwegian, resident in England for some years. At the preliminary examination he was positively identified by a police- man named Spurrell as John Smith, the man who had been arrested by this officer 19 years before. Mr. Gur- rin, a handwriting expert, was called bv the prosecution, and swore that the handwriting in the 1896 docu- ments was the same .as that in those of 1877. He further gave it as his opinion that Beck, a specimen of whose admitted penmanship was placed before him, was the author of the letters. Thus far it was obvious that the prosecution believed Smith and Beck to be one and the same, ’ and that the case was based on this ‘ fact. In this lay Beck’s hope and l the hope of his counsel, for the Nor- -' wegian could prove that at the time 3 when Smith'was serving,r his sen- : tence, he. (Beck) was in South Ameri- - ca. He was, therefore, confident of - acQuittal in spite of the fact that a 0 number of women of indifferent repu- il tation swore positively that he was t the swindler, irrespective of .his al- e leged previous crimes. The Judge’s Mistake. ‘ I The Judge's Mistake. So the case went to trial, but to the consternation of Beck, and 'Mr. (Jill, his lawyer, the prosecution made no attempt to go into the ques- tion of identity, beyond calling (Eur- riu to swear that in his opinion Beck was the author of the (la'coy letters, but reliml almost wholly on the statement of the women who had been llweced. The judge was Sir For- rest, Fulton, who, by a strange coin- cidence, had been the prosecutor of Smith in 1877. At the investigation, by the way, Sir Forrest said that he hat; no recollection of the former (use. and thought that be had only held the brief, some assistant ap- pearing: in court. The indictment set ’forth that Beck had been previously Convicts-:1, but for 801110 reason 'or other which has never been satisfac- - torily explained, the prosecution not only ignored the case of 1877, but objected when Mr. Beck’s solicitor en- , deavored to go into that branch of the affair. Here it was that Sir For- rest Fulton took the step which seal- ed Beck’s fate, and puts an end to :his own career. He refused to con- sider the case of 6877: Beck was |found guilty, and the prison doors 2- t E VIVWu 'â€" ' The Dramatic Climax. Beck is a man of fine courage, and all through the long years of his 1 confinement he never ceased to pm- i test and fight as best he could ’lagainst the terrible injustice which zhad been done him. On his prison 1 garments was a mark signifying that the wearer had been imprisoned be- fore. As a matter of fact, everyone . seemed to take it for 'granted that 'he was Smith, in spite of the fact ithat this matter had been carefully avoided at the trial. He wrote to the Home Office again and again, and finâ€" ally had the objectionable characters ' removed from his garb, but the Home Office took no further steps. Hence . the recommendation of the commis- "sion that proper legal qualifications in ofllcials here would have resulted avoided at the trial. 1-. Home Office again and ally had the objection removed from his garb In the guilt of Beck. The man served his term, but Fate had one more stone to fling at. him. Last January a recurrence of the crimes of 1877 and 1896 led to his re-arrest. He was again convicted, and Mr. Jus- tice Grantham was about to pass sentence, when in a most dramatic moment the real criminal of 1877. of 1896, and 01: 1904, in the person A _-‘I What an interesting book might be written about the discovery of rare books! A new incident has to be added to the romatic stories already told. Some days back Messrs. Hodg- son Co. receix‘ed a parcel of gar- dening books of little, \alue, and in it Was a treasureâ€"Canon’s “Mirror of Ye World, translated out of ye firenche into linglyssh by William Caxton, Anno 1481.” It is in black letter, long lines, diagrams, with writing, and comprises thirtyâ€"six lean-s. beginning: 13 l and ending H 4. The book. originally consisted of ninety-nine pages. The Value of the fragment coming to Messrs. llodgâ€" son's knowledge, they at once asked the. sender to give particulars of its history. llis tale was that he bonght it in the Edgware road some two years ago for a trifle. and kept it without knowing its value. To show the. importance of the find we may state-that last year Messrs. Sotheby sold a portion of the same work to Quaritch for £103. The strange thing about the two fragments is that the one purchased by the famous Picca- dilly bookseller began at II 8â€"i.e., four leaves farther on that the copy to be sold by the Chancery lane firm. It is possible that both may be parts of the same volume. At any rate, the “find" should cause some concern among book-lovers.â€"â€"London Post. The Con'ee \Vas Harmless. Lord Charles Boresford, commander of the British Gibraltar fleet, is a wit of the rugged, seafaring kind, somewhat lacking that Chesterfield- ian grace which characterizes the wit of the modern raconteur. Here is a story which illustrates this contention as applied to the.‘ famous admiral and which is being told down in circles Plymouthian: Lord Charles on one occasion was breakfasting in a small hotel far out in the country, and accidentally he upset a cup of codes over the clean white tablecloth which the good lady oi the house had dug up from her most sacred linen cupboard for the benefit of the British admiral. Un- fortunately the upsetting of the steaming coflee also upset the good lady's tempor, and she ‘soundly rated Lord Charles for his want of tact. '1 “It's a good thing for you, she â€":‘_l_t'é a good thing for said, “that the coflee In much stain on my _cloth." luuuu Dual“ v... ”’J _ “It. was too weak; 'ma'am," replied the admiral. “You’ll have to stain your coffee before you can expect. to stain your table linen. Use more beans, ma’am; use more beans!"-- London Answers. ___. w The Judge end the Irhfi Juror. Judge Adams, the county court judge of Limerick, is one of the wit- tiest of Irishmen, but occa8ionally in an encounter he comes out second best.
