"Auld Robin GRAY"

One of the happiest instances of the kind of
plagiarism which, like charity. blesSes both
giver and receiver, is to be found in the
famous ballad of Aud Robin Gray" which
is taken from the French. The poem of Para,
dis de Moncrif, which served as model to
Lady Anne Barnard, is entitled Les Con
stantes Amours d'Alix ct d'Alexis" and,
though now more than a century old, is still
considered to be the finest example of what
the French call a romance. 1t has the naivete
and the prolixity, so charming in its apparent
triviality, proper to that kind of composition;
and in comparing it with Lady Anne's poem
it is interesting to obserN how in the passage
of the tale northwards the romantic beauty
of the original gives place to a tragic inten-
sity in harmony with the severer genius of
the Scottish muse. The author, Paradis de
Moncrif, became a member of the French
academy in 1888 and died at the age of Sc in
ITO, just year before Aud Robin Gray"
saw the light; so there can be no doubt about
the dates.-New York Home Journal.

A startling advance II, --::-:s5:cal science hat
been made by DR.. Macmillan Klein. a Ger
man military surgeon. The particulars are
given by the professional journal Memora-
bilien. A man accidentally cut off his left
great toe in the middle of the first joint. The
severed piece remained hanging to the foot,
but the connecting skin was scarcely thicker
than a thread. DR.. Klein sewed on the frag-
ment, dressed it with iodoform, and had the
satisfaction in twenty-five days of finding the
wound healed and the toe perfectly sound and
flexible. Encouraged by the unexpected re-
suit in this case, DR.. Klein was induced to
apply the same treatment again.
A recruit, in order to disable himself and
so escape from military service, deliberately
cut off his forefinger with an ak at the Sec
ond joint. The finger end was lost and could
not be found until half an hour had elapsed
1t was then cold and blue. Nevertheless
DR.. Klein sewed it to the stump and
applied a bandage of iodoform gauze As
early as the second day it was evident that
circulation had been partly re-established
throughout the finger, and in six weeks the
man had not only left the hospital, but was
doing the very rifle drill which he had hoped
to shirk. The finger was, in fact, as service
able as 1t ever had been.
These stories read almost like extracts from
the exploits of Baron Munchausen. That
they are chrOniCled in Memorabilien is, how
ever, evidence of their truth. English sur.
geons will not be so unwilling to credit them
as they would have been in the days before
