Pretended Deafmutism.

A French medica! journal, lie Ca
ducee, reports a strange case, the sim
ulation of deufmutism by young sol
der, following the explosion of IA great
shell. The case is given by M. Ber-
ruyer. In consultation the man
seemed to be an absolute denfmute.
Before the explosion his speech and
hearing were normal. He had at once
been told that he would recover, in
formation that did not appear 70 af-
ford him any special pleasure. Close
watching did not disclose any evidence
of stimulation. He was then placed in
state of Semi-conSciouSncS with
Chloroform, and in this condition
convcrsed without difficulty. A dress
Ing was applied to his throat for the
psychic effect. Afterward he admit
ted recovery, but exhibited no delight
over his good fortune. IT was sup
posed that the original shock was gen.
uine and that after this came the
thought of deliberate malingering in
order to keep ont of the fighting line.
He had played the part of mute for
six weeks.

We have not the necessary instrument

Porto Rico's Needs.
The argument for the PROPOSED
amendments of the organic law Of Por-
to Rico Is brief and conclusive. The
present laws governing the island and
regulating the rights and privileges Of
it's people are not just. We have Gre
ated expectations of extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
of the island and even suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption Of
the pending measure would happily re-
move We do not doubt what we wish
to do in any essential particular. We
ought to do it at once.
There are other matters already ad-
vanced to the stage of conference be-
tween the two houses of which it Is
not necessary that | should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be found
and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, prob
ably the last occasion I shall have to
address the Sixty-fourth congress, !
hope that you will permit me to say
with what genuine pleasure and salts

the many measures of constructive pol
icy with which you have enriched the
legislative annals of the country. II

company. | take the liberty of con
graduating you upon the completion OF
