The sea was as calm; as Lake Huron and we arrived in Liverpool in eight days. 1 seemed to be in, my right element for I was not sea sick at all. When we were fuer days out the Cruiser Essex left us and the Drake .a larger boat from England took her place and from that time on wet.wore our life belts cotastantly,and the life 'boats were slung out ready for use at any minute.

The aenouneement comes from Ot- tawa that A1r. Ie II, Dickson of the law firm of Dickson & Carling, Ex -1 etc!. has been appointed senior coun- ty oupty judge of Huron to succeed Judge Doyle, retired, Mr, Dickson has been Practising dam in Exeter far over thirty years, but is yet a compar- atively .young man, being a few years over fitty. The time is nKell chosen. Itbas been .the custom te'. select men for the judiciary who are ripe in years, and the custom, has much to commend it, There should be ex- perientce 'behind a judge. lie should bave anmple knowledge of the ways and wiles of humanity that will Par- ade arade before hint demanding, or seeking to thwart justice. But, too Afenmen have received the horror of a judicial appointment who were possessed of precaneeived ideas, backed by strong wills. The "open mind" was jacking, Legal training bad not succeeded in banishing more or less serious pre- judices. There was harshness in the splen and an inability tte look at mat- ters Store the standpoint of the sin- ning as well as the sinned against, The adnxiktistra`.:or, of the law as a punishment rather than as a deterrent and a [protection to society was the uppermost thought. In civic eases ^here was the recognition of legal teclureca'.ities sometimes at the ex- penses of justice itself. A young" man com;rtg to the bench shouldhave none of these faults, and in the case of Judge Dickson we have every mon to think that the; 1. be found of broad synipatbi.ess, clear -beaded and courageous, and capable of main- taining tate best traditions of the Can - ad adieu bench Mr. Dict'soa was barn a' 1•'aken- ham, in the County of Lanark, in the year 1$60; educated a: Pembroke •. a to d Kr son Collegiate Hugh School end King seen He began the study o' teav under Thorns Deacon, K.

The nerves evihech convey en- ergy from ehe brain to the 'various frnctions o1 the. body, emerge from small gpeniugs between the bony seg- m;ents of the spinal column.
