Interesting Facts on People Who Lose
Thsir Legs.
From the Nelc York World.
T)ne hundred people per day are MANNED
In the United States"
The above astonishing statement CANA
yesterday from the lips Of A. A. Marks one
OF New York's largest aud most successful
artificial limb dealers. Mr.. Marks ex-
planned:
Our private Investigations show nearly
1000 accidents per day. Hence il is a con-
sentative estimate to place the daily acct
oehts at IOO per day. AS a general state
ment 1 should say that fully PSI, 900 people
IN the United States are manned in some
Iashlon. | have studied this matter long
time, and am convinced of the truth Of
this assertion.
"Railroad and machinery, of course. are
largely responsible for the aggregate of ac-
cldents. A year in which there is a great
aeaI OF railroad building is sure to be fruit
ful of accidents"
graph:
A dealer in artificial limbs says that an
arm will last lifetime if properly cared
Tor, but that after five or six years a leg
gives way TO the weight and strain and has
to be renewed
mat Is not strictly true" he said. THE
average artificial leg will last ten years !:
the average arm lifetime. OF course. ali
depends on use aud care. We have patients
whose arms and legs have lasted over twenty
years, and are still in good condition.
The ordinary artificial leg is made of
wood and rawhide. Papier-mache has
been tried, but it is not lasting enough.
THE revolution In the method of MANN
featuring arms and legs will come, think,
with the introduction of aluminium. the
hghtest and strongest substance known.
Yes, it takes time to learn how to wear
an artificial leg or arm. There is a strange
novelty about the new limb that the subject
has to overcome Some patients walk we'll
from the start; Others require long practice.
Fully So per cent. of artificial limbs
made IRE legs; Is per cent. are arms. OF
legs 40 per cent. are right, 46 per cent. left.
8 per cent. both right and left. Seventy
eight per cent. of legs amputated are of
males, % per cent. are Of females. Here ia
table prepared after years of study:

Demanding Free Coinage.

The .sStandard Dollar" argues that
this country cannot eonfiDe itself to
the single or gold standard. Il IS too
large 10 be gagged By the demands
OF England or Germany, whose pop
nations are Al a siandstill or nearly
so. With q population Of 5000, 600,
which Is being increased $500. 600
annually, We must have more money
than can be supplied in gold. Next
to gold, silver i the most precious
metal. L has always been used as
money the world over. England and
Germany are deceiying the world re-
gzrding silver. They are coming il
constantly for their own use. England
makes enormous profits on tie silver
bullion it buys of American miners
al a dollar or less an ounce, and coins
into rupees for India a. 81 35 per
ounce.
This country must have an increase
in its circulating medium to keep up
with the increase in population.
With at least 80, 0OoO, 900 more inhab-
itanis in fifteen years, 10 keep the
same amount per capita as we have
now. S23. we mus, multiply 80, 900,
900 by twenty-three, giving US the
enormous sum Of $500. 900, 900. Can
We Increase our gold that much in
the next fifteen years? Our mines
are producing about s35,o0o,O0O
year, and half OF il is absorbed in the
arts. Dentists, jewellers, gilders, etc.,
use up an immense amount Of gold
yearly. The amout Of gold left i too
small for this "billlon-dollar coun-
try" We need the silver certificate,
with the silver dollar 10 back it,
which costs the Government nothing
in fact, there is large profit in COIN
ing it. Let the free coinage OF silver
commence; it cannot drive gold out
Of the country as it has a modify
value and acts like a magnet.
The more silver, as we'll as copper,
iron, cotton, wheat and tobacco a
cry produces the richer it becomes,
and eventually it will draw the gold
OF the world III we want III to our
feet.

Nevada Politics

The Reno Gazette, which Is IN a
position 10 know some Of the family
secrets of its party in Nevada, lets
out the following hints As TO what
may happen in the next campaign:
ssSenator Stewart has returned 70
the Coast and is looking after bis
fences TO see that they are up and in
good repair for fear that some breachy
animal will jump into the pasture
with the view Of eating the Senate
rial grass. Some of the "knowing
ones" say that Hon. A. Cleveland
OF White Pine viii cross swords with
the Old Roman. Il i also rnmored
that John W. Mackay, 10 satisfy bis
wife's am bition, would like the honor,
but the Gazette does not take much
stock in the report, but there can be
no doubt but John would give Will
lam . hard rub II he should conclude
20 60 TO Washington for six year,.
State Senator Evan Williams is a
'sdark horse" and said TO be in the
hands OF his friends, but cares moth
ing for the place personally. It prob
ably all depends on his friend, Sena-
Tor John p. Jones, who, il is said,
does not like Senator Stewart. Per-
haps It is not fair for the Gazette 70
give these family secrets away, but il
is common talk among the rank and
file, and that is our excuse. State
Senator NJ. d. Foley, like Barkis, is
always within" and it won't take
a ten-horse team to yank him into
the fight IL he sees one chance in a
thousand of winning. c. c. Pown-
ing stands around the boiling caul-
dron, ready to sacrifice himself on the
altar OF freedom, bnt it is said be will
be satisfied with Congress and that
G. c. Wallace, said 10 be the {. 7.
Boss of Nevada politics, has already
pledged the support Of that gigantic
corporation TO Powning if "eyery-
thing works right. Boss Wallace
has not yet said what he proposes TO
do with Francis g. Newlands, who
recently declared himself a candidate
for the lower House. Bartine, it is
said, will be satisfied with judicial
position-the supreme Court, for in
stance, 10 succeed Belknap-ifthe So
called bosses give him encourage
ment.
At all events, Nevada will be a
bloody field after the dead and dying
are piled up, but those best posted
think that Stewart will have no oppo-
sition 10 amount to anythiDg-that
IS Stewart thinks so. Newlands is
expected home sometime the latter
part Of the month, when the chips
may fly, but where no man can tell )"
