ST. LOUIS Globe: The refunding bill, as
perfected in committee of the whole, is a
remarkable confirmation of the good judg-
ment of that large and respectable class of
voters who voted the Republican ticket
through business considerations 1t is not
known that there is any money to loan any
where in the world at 3 per cent, and ac-
cordingly that is the rate of interest fixed
upon for the refunding bonds. Lest some
capitalists might be tempted, however, by a
permanent as we'll as secure investment at
that low rate, the bonds are made redeema-
BILE in two and payable in ten years, in order
that the inducement to invest in a long bond
may not be offered. And still further to
drive capital away from investment in the
new loan, it is provided that before any of
the bonds shall be offered for sale, all the
silver and all the gold, except $4,000, 900 in
the Treasury, shall be paid out for old bonds
falling due. This provision will be execut-
ed whether any Of the 3-per cent. bonds
shall be sold or not, and will have the effect
OF placing gold at a premium, for if bonds
are payable in silver so are greenbacks.
With gold at a premium, the $5O,OO0,OOO of
Treasury reserve would not last week, and
the Government would be engaged in try
ing to sell 3-per-cent. short bond sim ulta-
neously with its suspension of specie pay
meat. The business of the country can not
stand that kind of refunding

SIR WILLIAM GULL, one of the most en-
inent of English physicians, having been in
terrogated on the subject of ''leaving off
drinking says: ''With regard to leaving
off drinking, think that we could, as
rule, stop the supply of alcohol at once
without injury. AS to the existence of ca
ses in which the brain had entirely gore
from leaving drink off suddenly, is not that
fallacious? May not their brains have gone
from their previous habits? As to the al
legged case in which man left off drink sud
denly, and he bore the abstinence for year
but was then obliged to go back again,
should say that he felt desire to 90 back
to it again. do not see any good in break
ing off drinking habits by degrees. If you are
taking poison into the blood do not see the
advantage of diminishing the degrees of it
from day to day. The point has been fire.
quently put to ME by medical men, but my
reply has been, If your patient was poisoned
by arsenic would you still go on putting in
arsenic? In reference to person who car
ries great deal of drink and does not get
drunk, he may be even more damaged than
man who does get drunk, because he
may be able to carry his system of daily
drinking for long time, whereas, the 9TH
er man, who was incapable of drinking so
much, would be obliged to discontinue the
practice.

A VANISHED celebrity of the empire who
has lately reappeared in Paris is that Mon
seigneur Bauer. gho was almoner to the
Empress, Court Chaplain, preacher to the
Tuileries and who revived 10 the degenerate
modern days the traditions of the elegant
abbes of the ancien regime. The marvels
of his toilets, his purple silk stockings, his
snowy linen and his robes-which were de-
signed by Worth-still linger in the annals
of fashion. 1t is safe to say that he was a
bad egg, for the women of the dissolute
court fairly raved over the dainty little &C.
clesastical man-milliner, and he was thor
oughly in harmony with his surroundings.
He accompanied the Empress to the famous
opening of the Suez Canal, to which he gave
his special benedic ton, and of course he
disappeared in the rout of the empire.

Sketches of Army Life in Russia. By +.
v. Greene, Lieutenant of Engineers, U. s.
Army; late-military attache to the u s. Lega-
ton in St. Petersburg, and author of "The
Russian Army and its Campaigns in Turkey
in 1918" (New York: Chas. Scribners Sons.)
This bright and interesting volume contains
series OF sketches of people and things that
came under the authors observation during
his army life in the recent Russo-T Turkish war
1t does not profess to give connected narra-
tive of the military operations. That has al
ready been done in his earlier work. In this
volume the author treats in an interesting
way of certain special topics, viz: 1.-THE Tsar,"
"The Russian Soldier" "Shipka Pass"
"Plevna," ''The Winter Campaign" "Rus-
sian Generals" "War Correspondents
"Constantinople, 'st. Petersburg" "The
Eastern Question" The book is chiefly de-
signed to give an idea of the life and charac
ter of the men who form the Russian army; 1t
is written in simple and unpretending style,
and contains much interesting information.
The picture of the Russian peasantry, who
compose the rank and file of the army, is strik-
ing and graphic and the story of the grand as
sault on Plevna, and the story of the fighting
in the Shipka Pass is told naturally and with
those little personal details that add so much
to the vividness of a description. The author
was the first officer from the Russian camp to
show himself!in the streets of Constantinople
after the armistice was signed, riding through
the city on horseback, from mere daring curl
osity, at the imminent risk of his life and
meeting with adventures of which he gives an
amusing account. Decidedly the best thing in
the book is the very striking portrait which he
draws of his friend, the young Russian General
Skobeleff, which resembles that of a
hero of the romantic days of chivalry far more
than of a soldier of the nineteenth century
1t must be said, however, that the volume
bears tokens of being carelessly written: and
the style and construction are, in places, very
faulty. The last chapter, on "The Eastern
Question" is out of place in such a work,-a
fact ofwhich the author was evidently con-
scious, as he introduces it with an apology.
No doubt the temptation was very strong, but
the subject is far too vast and too profound to
be treated in the closing chapter of volume
of personal reminiscence and observation: and
one cannot but feel that dashing young SOL
dier, fresh from an intimate association with
the officers of the Russian army during the ex-
citing period of the war, is not the person best
qualified to discuss so weighty problem. He
undoubtedly means to be fair, bat he writes
with strong and evident bias and with ha-
tired of the Turks that might have done credit
to an old crusader He presents, avowedly,
the Russian side of the case, and his conclu-
sions are entitled to the weight that attaches
to the convictions of a strong parhsan; but
neither bis training nor his associations, quail
fly him to express judicial opinion on such a
| subject. d. Fl.
