 From all of the foregoing observations l drew the following conclusions:
 Every well-read man of fair ability will be able to define or understand twenty or twen- ty-hve thousand primitives and principal de- rivative words.
 The same man, in his conversation and writing, will use not less than six or seven thousand words. If he be literary man he win command two or three thousand mora.
 Common people use from three to four thousand words, according to their general intelligence and conversational power.
 An "illiterate man" (one who cannot read) will use from fifteen to twenty-five hundred words.
 A person who has not at command at least one thousand words is an ignoramus. and will find difficulty in expressing his thoughts, if indeed he have any to express.

Good Deeds In . Naughty world.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: Just now when the interest of few of our citizens is centering about our theological stu dents, and ere they leave our midst, it may be fitting time to pay a well-deserved and unexpected tribute to these "Yale boys. ' Most of us are only too ready to charge upon 'tthe students" any mischief done in our city. but how many of us are ready to give them recognition for good deedsa
 To help on this latter feeling would like to say that during the recent 'blizzardn and in the height of the storm party of students organized themselves and in systematic way sought out the isolated poor and women known to be living alone, learned their wants and furnished whatever was needed during the siege, tramping miles heavily laden, but with courage and cheer, Flowing their neigh Dor as themselves"
 This deed was done so modestly and spon- taneously that it was known to but very few and recognized by none save those visited and. relieved ef what might but for this timely Christian charity have proved to be cruel suffering. SIMPLE JUSTICE.

Admiral Oolumb of the British navy makes novel suggestion. He says that from time to time mock naval encounters take place for the purpose of testing the efficiency of a fleet. Why, then, is it not possible to test the possibilities of merchant capture in the same ways To effect this, he proposes that a swift war vessel should be sent out from England, supplied with paint and other ma terials needed to effect disguise, and that each English merchant vessel that this cruiser encountered which she could obviously cap- ture should be marked by her with a painted for capture, or B fer burnt. The English naval vessels should be instructed to make capture of this commerce destroyer as quickly as they could, and if she came within range of war vessel of obviously greater power, this capture might be as- stunned, and her course would come to an end. But by such an experiment. it might be demonstrated whether the facilities that aow exist are sufficient to prevent the very serious destruction of. British commerce in the event of a foreign war. In the opinion of the author of this plan, the ports of Eng land would soon become filled with vessele labelled B or 0.

The Argentine Republic seems to be doin g quite well how. The Buenos Ayres Standard says that over 10000 immigrants landed in April and immediately found employment in different parts of the country. "Such," it says, lis the demand for laborers of all kinds that wages are higher than ever, and in its present stage the republic could give en- ployment to thrice that number of monthly arrivals. In this city alone the scarcity of workmes is remarkable, owing to the in- credible number of new buildings in course of construction. In the central streets pal- aces are being built, whilst small dwellings are springing up like mushrooms in the suburbs. Properties are steadily rising in value, both in the city and rural districts"

The Bane Of Hot Weather.

reh, with more mortal dread, than the
hot weather Of the summer months, cs-
pecially is this the case when their
children are tecthIng. The number OF
children that are carried away annually
by bowel complaint, in its various
forms is prodigious. Yet almost every
case could be cured by proper care and
treatment. During the past fifteen
years, it has been abundantly proven,
that the worst cases could be cured and
by a remedy within the reach of all.
Chamberlain'S Collie, Cholera and Diar.
rh9a Remedy has cured thousands Of
cases, that were considered hopeless, it
has cured them after physicians have
failed to relieve, it has cured them after
other medicines had been tried without
benefit, ii has ever cured them after
they had become Unconscious. Ii can
always be depended upon, and should
be kept ut hand, by every mother OF
small children. When children are
teething, the diarrhGa can not be check
ed permanently, as the same cause that
produced it will bring it on again, but
it can and should be controlled by
giving Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhna Remedy, IA the case may
require. Then when the child IS
through tecthing, the diarrhna may be
etfectually checked. This remedy has
been the sole reliance of thousands OF
mothers throughout the west for over
fifteen years, and its cures have shown
1t to be the best and most reliable rem.
edy ever produced for the purposes.
When reduced with cold water and
sweetened, it is pleasant to take. Many
children like it. 1t is put up In % cent,

Henry Clews, the famous American
banker. in a late letter to the New York
Financial Review, reaches the following
conclusions relative to our national
prosperity, after = review Of Wall street
affairs:
The truth, however, is that the United
States was never in a state Of such solid
and steady prosperity as to-day and
nothing more strikingly proves this
than the current unprecedented earn
ings Of our railroads. There is no
dangerous speculation in any branch OF
business no undue expansion Of credit,
no imitation Of prices, but a general
cheapness Of products, together with a
larger ability among the masses to buy
than ever before existed. Because
however, the iron trade is losing some
of the special demand arising from q
boom in railroad building and it's pre-.
ducts are consequently falling back to a
normal value, and because the WOODEN
trade is, as usual, producing more goods
than 1t can sell ut a profit, there are
those land not q few of them) who Jump
to the ridiculous conclusion that bust
ness generally is in an unsatisfactory
state. The truth seems to be that we
have become 30 familiar with sound
prosperity that we hardly know when

young prince that which made Europe

these ideas, resolute, independent, with

the aspirations Of united Germany, it is
not strange that Europe draws a long
breath as he mounts the throne. From
the day of the death Of the aged Will

that the young Frederick, now the en-
peror, was bitterly hostile to the in

of the government. 1t Was known that
his mother, the Empress Victoria, was
antagonizing Bismarck and the English
court officials about her exercising

prince regarded with ill-concealed
wrath. There was an open rupture
between him and his mother. Indeed,
