From the London Spectator.
The training of men for work which re-
quires the highest possible nicely of hand
Is not really training. 1t is far more the
selection, by experiment. of men born with
the true touch. For example we doubt
whether the very greatest surgeons-the
men whose success depends upon their
ability to make sharp steel as sensitive as
finger tip-perform their hundredth op,r-
alton better than their first They have
more confidence, no doubt, but the sleirht-
of-hand is Unborn. Nobody can train a
medical student into a great oculist 1t is
only the ordinary man of whom it can be
said that practice makes perfect.11.e man
with the special gift is born perfect. But ge-
MUS is only the mental side of this gift
apart, and If the people whose business is
with the mind were as honest and as I'M
sophisticated as those who deal with horse
racing or bricklaying, we should not hear
anything more about genius being merely
the capacity for hard work. To say that
the bricklayer with the 'knack" is only a
bricklayer who takes pains, would be a
patent absurdity. 1t is not less an absurd
ity, though less obvious one, to say that
a man with genius for style and literary
form is only a man who knows how to take
pains. The poet. no doubt, must take
pains. but no amount of taking pains will
give him the genius of verse.

Bengal Peasant Proverbs,

From the London Daily News.
The wisdom of the Bengal peasant cult
vators finds expression in proverbs, of
which a collection has been made by a
Babu in the agricultural department of
that province. His appreciation of the out
wardly revered Brahmin betrays itself in
cidentally in the maxim: Rain and inun-
dalton disappear when south winds blow.
like the Brahmin as soon as he has received
his fee"
Other Bengal rural aphorisms are: Have
the land which receives the washings of the
village, and the bullock which walks fast.
and marry the girl whose mother is good. -
He who works in the field himself with the
laborers gets the full profit; he who, being
unable to work himself, supervises the
workings OF the laborers. gets half the
profit; he who orders the laborers from his
house does not get enough to eat"
