BIMETALLISM AND FREE COINAGE.

The debates in Congress have devel-
oped serious difference among the
advocates Of the free coinage Of silver.
The radicals insist ON free coinage at
the present ratio as a preliminary To
the stoppage of silver purchases. The
more conservative bimetallists consider
the repeal Of the purchasing clauses OF
the Sherman act as necessary step
toward the future adoption Of free
coinage by international agreement,
The radicals are monometallists. They
would entirely displace gold and make
the silver dollar the unit of value.
This division OF opinion insures the
passage Of either the Wilson or the
Noorhees bill, since the Intelligent and
practical friends of bimetallism in the
Senate will vote for repeal.
Bimetallism is assured in this coun-
try by our vast stock Of silver, coined
and uncoined. The further coinage of
silver would, no doubt, If presisted
in, make the load too heavy to carry
The policy Of complete stoppage would
give the country an opportunity to
consider what best may be done to
gather up the fag ends Of our present
mixed and unsatisfactory currency
system, and reconstruct il ON a basis
Of solidity. The experience Of hum
dred years which We have had in all
kinds of wild experimenting should at
least enable us 10 steer clear of the
financial whirlpools In which we have
heretofore found ourselves disastrousIy
involved.

Where Soldiers Arc Shot.

In the work gunshot wounds, DR.
Ludwig Brandt gives some interesting sta
tistics about the Franco-Prussian war in
lS1O-1. The number OF officers and men of
all ranks belonging to the German armies
who were wounded during the war amount
ed to the immense total of ll6, SCI. Ofthese
1855 survived, II ,o23 died in hospital, and
6,223 died on the field of battle
The wounds of those who were under
hospital treatment, including the wounds
of those who died in hospital, were thus
distributed: Wounds of the head, II, o4I; Of
the neck, ,922; of the chest and back, u :
495; abdomen. 4,553; upper extremities, g.
9l4, and of the lower extremities, rs, 952,
while in 1921 instances the situations of
the wounds have not been recorded.
A noticeable fact is the unusually large
proportion of wounds of the head, which
nearly equal those of the chest and back to-
gether and approach three times the num-
Der of those of the abdomen. The number
given load, however, includes 2.130 iDju-
ries to the face.
The wounds by rife bullets more than
double the number of those caused by artil-
lery projectiles, but the information in this
respect is not of much value, as out of 1850
gunshot wounds of the face in no fewer
than 1888 instances the particular projec-
tiles by which the wounds were caused have
not been recorded--British Medical Jour

Curious Statistics of the blind.

The people of Russia are more terribly
afflicted with the infirmity of blindness
than any other race, sect or nation on the
globe, the proportion being q to every TO-,
600 of population In 1886 there was an
official census taken of the blind of Europe
These statistics show n remarkable state OF
affairs, especially in European Russia, the
Caucasus and Poland. In the countries
named there was total of 1S9, S12 persons
who We're entirely blind. The whole of the
remainder of Europe land mind this in
cludes the thickly populated countries of
Germany, | .snce, Spain, Holland, Bel
GUM, Great tSritain. etc only has a blind
population numbering 1SS,Sl2, while the
three Americas, North, Central and South,
with their islands, have less than % 900 per
sons who totally bereft of sight.
In the Caucasus the women, especially
those of country districts are more liable
to cecity than men, the proportion being
about - to 10. In Poland there are 25 blinu
men for ever Il blind women, the same
percentage holding good over the most of
Russia in Europe.-St Louis Republic.
