A Surgeons Nerve.
From Longruan's Magazine.

rVu AouSiuan nuta<ine-
1t is the common belief that a surgeon
must possess what is spoken OF as an ex-
traordinary good nerve. and you may per-
haps doubt IL you possess this. Al the
same time YOU must bear in mind that In
the case Of a surgeon the GOODNESS or calm
ness which is SO admirable and necessary
in an operation does not imply the possess
sion of any remarkable personal quality.
but 1t is the simplest result OF a complete
knowledge of what he is doing 1t is rather
the natural outcome OF his accurate famil-
iarity Of anatomy and his daily habit.
A trooper would require a very fine nerve
to go to a masthead. or a sailor to ride an
unmanageable horse across a country, but
a sailors confidence aloft is due more to q
habit than to any particular amount Of
courage. In saying this. I do not wish to
depreciate the calmness of the surgeon In
the face of difficulties. but I may tell you
quite plainly that IL you haven't enough
courage to be a surgeon / should be very
much ashamed OF you. and You would turn
on; to be a very poor creature. whatever
occupation You might follow. Still this
fact remains, and you may. perhaps be
interested 20 hear that i. who have known
many good surgeons. have never seen one
who has not possessed a very fine cour-
age.
In short, a very good surgeon is, IN my
humble opinion, a very fine fellow, ana
when / see (as do see) the extraordinary
achievements OF modern surgery. I am
very proud, OF belonging to a profession
which kassrnade life so much more endur-
able and prolonged to the human race. So,
possibly. the great fascination which sur
gerry no doubt possesses TO many appeals
more strongly to men Of courage and de-
termination than to those persons Of more
weakly constituted minds, or to those who
are less vertebrate altogether.

Raising Money.
From 10 Philadelphia Record.

From Re Philadelphia Record.
A clever scheme in the raising Of the
denominations Of greenbacks has Just been
detected b" l.. r. Walters of the SUBJ
treasury. On Saturday a note. apparently
Of the denomination of $50. was found to
be really a SO bill of the series OF 1850, SO
carefully altered as to almost defy detec-
ton. The word SILVER had been deity
pasted across the face OF the greenback
to give it the appearance Of a silver certifi-
cate. and the figure 80 had been pasted
over the figure - In addition to tins the
word nifty" had been substituted in like
manner for the word ten" in the upper
left-hand corner Of the bill. 1t Is believed
that the forgery was committed in West
Virginia, as 1t was first detected in Wheel
ing. Mr.. Walters stated yesterday that 81
bills are being raised to SO bills in the
same way, and that the circulation of these
forged greenbacks is comparatively large.

AS was going down the street I saw two
bootblacks One was a black bootblack and
the other a white bootblack. and both had
black boots, as well as backing and black
ing brushes. The black bootblack asked the
white bootbiack to black his, the black boot
blacks, black boot with backing.
The white bootblack consented to black
the black boots of the black bootblack with
backing out when he, the white bootblack,
had BACKED one black boot OF the black
bootblack with bleaching. he. the white boot
black, refused to black his, the black boot
blacks other black boot with backing un-
less he the black booth lck. paid him. the
white bootblack. the same as what he. the
white bootblack, got for backing other
peoples black boots; whereupon the black
bootblack grew still biacker in the face.
called the white bootblack a BLACKBOARD, at
the same time hitting the white bootblack
with the black boot that he, the white boot
black, had already BACKED with backing.

How Fast Does Thought Travcl1

HOW Fast Does Thought TraVcIS
From the Philadelphia Press.
Professor Donders Of Utrecht has made
some interesting experiments in regard to
the rapidity of thought. By means of two
instruments. which he calls the ''neomata-
chograph" and the "noernatachometer," he
obtained some important results. His ex-
periments show that it takes the brain .067
of a second to elaborate a single idea Writ
ing In regard to his Prof. Donders says:
DOUBTLESS the time required for the brain
to act is not the same in all individuals. I
believe, however, T. 1T my instruments may
be perfected until will be able to deter
mine he mental caliber of our friends with
out our friends knowing that we are testing
their aptness." The professor further says:
For the eye to receive an impression re-
quires .G11 of a second, and for the ear to
appreciate a sound 0i9 Of a second is neces-
sary. These curious experiments have es-
tablished one TACT at least-viz., that the eye
act~ with nearly double the rapidity Of the
ear"

Mt such distance apart as to seem to
the eye at n distance Il continuous line,
approximately or completely. Starting
with one dot, the letters in the tclc-
gram showed where to place the other
dots in succession in relation thereto.
This was done by means of "pro-
tractor" consisting of rectangular
piece of pasteboard with rectangular
orificc, in which was piece of tissue
paper. On the tissue paper was n
circle, with some alphabetical letters
placed round cquidistantly in the po-
sitions of sixteen of the thirty-two
points of the compass. This tissue
paper had n large hole in the center
and sixteen smaller holes in the posi-
tions of sixteen of the points of the
compass, as represented in the cut.
The pastcbourd itself had three large
holes in it, which facilitated handling
On receiving a telegram consisting
OF n medley of alphabetical letters, the
first step is to make dot, and To bring
1T into the center of the central hole in
the tissue paper. "A second dot is then
made in one of the little holes in the
circle, corresponding to the ne ut letter
IN the telegram, and so on in success
sion. The protractor is always moved
parallel to itself and to the edge OF
the sheet of paper. This is done by the
aid of II T-rulc, or by using sheet of
paper already ruled by faint lines as
in childrcn's copyboolis. The upsho.
is that n fairly accurate representation
Of the original drawing is reproduced

inal of which was upon Il large scale
The head to the right was reproduced
