Whatever may be the view OF the differ

the idea, which flrst found practical expires
sion in the United StateR. that there is not
gold enough in the world to do unaided the
work of money is ssteadily gaining sdherentr
by the sheer force OF events. Within the
last six months Portugal had to abandon
the attempt to keep the dear gold her

time has within the last few days passed a
law establishing the free coinage of silver,
which, at some future day, may have i'm
pOrtant and far reaching results. Russia

Austria Hungary. which twelve months ago
made an earnest effort to prepare for a gold
standard. end began to accumulate the vel

and the Hungarian minister of finance has
just parted with 10000 OOO a. of his accumu
lated gold by lendi' z il to q syndicate nf
banks nOminallv for three months, at 81
per cent. practically, probably forever.
While even at this writing 1t is reported
that the Russian ministry Of finance has
made overtures TO the Bank of France
For the purchase Of sS1 100000 in silver
bullion. Russia needs silver to coin into
roubles for the redemption of Polish
treasury obligations.
What is the use or necessity of thus
using, for the purposes OF a domestic
currency or circulating media, metals
that are bought and sold by weight and
that are liable to be drawn away from us
at any time by an adverse trade balance?
Legal tender dollars, whether Of paper
or coin, must always possess the same

is not because they are 80 scrupulOusly

CURE ny HyrSoriss.

he quotes the case of the manager
Of an important company, who was
about to be discharged from his

habits. when he sought medical adj
vice. DIR. Tuckey hypnotized him
and found him an excellent subject.
The patient was told while in the
hypnotic state that alcohol was poi

would i'm future make him violently

gestion n small glass Of beer was
given to him during the hypnotic
sleep, and another about half an
hour after his awakening; on both
occasions the dose instantly brought
on an attack of OF richness. though
the patient had no consciousness of
the suggestions he had received.
He returned to his home and bust
ness after about two months, aud
has had no relapse. Not long ago
he turned quite sick ut a cricket
match, and, as he complained OF
violent pain and faintness, we'll
meaning friend made him take the
usual rough-and ready remedy--a
glass of whisky. He had hardly
swallowed the spirit when he again

Alcoholism is by no means the
only disease in which hypnotism
can be simultaneously resorted to-;
morphinisin, for example, and the
tobacco habit, have also their vic
Tins, and the suggestive treatment
has proved efiicacious against this
class of evils.
