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 if you possess this. At 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 possession
Of any remarkable personal quality, but it
is the simplest result Of complete knowl-
edge Of what he is doing. 1t is rather the
natural outcome Of his accurate familiarity
Of anatomy and his daily habit
A trooper would require very fine nerve
to 20 TO a masthead, or a sailor to ride an
unmanageable horse across a country, but
a sailors confidence aloft is due more to a
matter of habit than to any particular
amount Of courage. In saying this, do
not wish to depreciate the calmness of the
surgeon in the face of difficulties, but /
may tell you quite plainly that if you
| haven't enough courage to be a surgeon !
should be very much ashamed Of you, and
/ you would turn out 10 be very poor crea-
ture, whatever occupation you might fol
| low. Still this fact remains, and you may
| perhaps be interested TO hear that |, who
have known many good surgeons, have
never seen one who has not possessed very
fine courage.-A Surgeon in Longmau's

hat chains were tied about him, so that he
could Only sway from side to side in his stall,
has been sentenced to die. The execution
will take place i'll the park either this ever

ing the elephant ia the head, so as not to
injure tho skin or bones of the body. The
suggestion that a cannon ball be fired into
him will not be acted upon.
The decision to kill the elephant was made
upon the statements of Carl Hagenbeck and
other experts on animals. Mr.. J. A. Bailey
wrote from Washington that if he owned Tip
he would kill him before night The elc
plants skin will be carefully removed, and
stuffed for exhibition III the American Mu-

will be mounted for the museum The animal

and severely injured two others. In 1884 he
killed two keepers. In 1883 he killed three
men and a boy, making total OF seven per
