The deaf and dumb, as everyone knows, "speak"' by means of their tingers. How muuy words, then, can a good hand-speaker form in a minute. According to the Postal Telegraph Department, the avciage number of letters per word in the English lauguage is tive. Now, a ready hand-speaker can make the English alphabet ten times in a minute?that is to say 260 letters. It is usual for him to pause for the space of one letter after each word to show that the "word is complete. If, therefore, we subtiact from the total just given about one sixth for these stoppage3, the total will be reduced to 215 letters. Let this be divided by live, the average number of letters per word, and we shall liud that a lairly expert deaf and dumb person will sneak forty-three words per minute.

Boltava, in southern Russia, is famous for the battle in wliich Peter the (treat _ - oC Kuaaia conquered Charles XI f, of Bweden near that city in 1709. The country around the city is, to a great distance, a bare prairie, except where a river changes the grouud into a fruitful garden. Such was done until a short lime ago by the river Vouska, the bed of which is at present dried up. It was not a small stream, but a deep,navigable river which has there disappeared. No one knows what lias become of the mighty current of water that used to'run to swell the mighty Dnieper. It is supposed to have been sucked up by the sand}- soil through which it had dug its bed. The whole region is sandy, and it is only to the rivers that the inhabitants are indebted for whatever fertility there may be. So much the greater is the loss wliich the disappearance of so large a river must have caused.?Chicago Herald. _____ Isaac S.

Don't shock the system with the ordinary pills ? get Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They're the smallest, for one thing (but that's a great thing), and the easiest to take. They're tliu best, for they work in Nature's own way ? milaly and gently, but thoroughly and effectively. They're the cheapest, for they're guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. Yon pay only for the good you get. . What more can you ask ? J But don't get something that the dealer says is " just as good."
