Bhe is blind as well as deaf. .That the walls of silence and darkness which shut her from the world hare been broken down, that hor soul has been set free and the seal of silence taken from her lips, seems miracu lous to those who know not how it was done. The limits of this article will permit only the briefest out line of her story. Rendered both deaf and blind at 10 months by severe illness, she passed the first seven years of her life in silence, darkness and igno rance. Who could have suspected the exquisite soul imprisoned in that mute and darkened body ! A bright, patient, loving woman came, and the miracle began. There was only one possible ave nue of approach to the beleaguered souL The sense of touch remained, and to that the teacher, Miss Annie M. Sullivan, addressed her efforts. Through ringer spelling the child at length obtained the idea of lan guage, and with this key other doors could be unlocked. Having natural ly a fine mind, she learned rapidly when once started and developed a phenomenal memory. Whilo Helen received information only through spelling and in limited amount, she never forgot. . To tell her something was like writing it in a book. When you wished the fact again months or even years aft erward, you had only to ask for it. But later, as she began to read books, to meet more people and to receive impressions through more channels and in larger numbers, her memory ceassl to 1h? so absolutely reliable. Until she was 11 years of age her only means of communication was by finder sj elling. Then, at her own urgent request, ehe wan given les- in i !" a iiy Aliss Jbulier, pnn- ciii:.i oi t'.e Horace Mann school. The nihility with which she acquir ed the ability to speak was unprece dented. She noon abandoned flngei sjK'llii! us a means of expression and has ever pinee used speech alone. But others still had to communi cate with her by their fingers. She then expresed a strong wish to learn to read the lips by touching them with her fingers. For the pur pose of attempting this difficult task and to get special training in speech she came to the Wright-Huinason school in New York city. During the two years that she remained there she succeeded in acquiring the jxjwer of understanding people when they spoke to her, and at the same time pursued rejrular courses of study in arithmetic, history, physi cal geography, French and German. She has read much of the best liter ature and is very intelligent on the topics of the day. Her own speech is now excellent, and she lias enter ed a girls' school in Cambridge, Mass., where she is taking a course preparatory for Radcliffe college. When leiiig spoken to, she places her index finger lightly upon the lijw, while tiitf other fingers rest upon the check, the middle one touching the nose. Her thumb is uj)on the larynx. This position gives her the greatest possible informa tion concerning the elements of which sjioech is composed. John Dutton Wi iiit in Century. Wl y Be Did Not Stmrt. A lazy man is seldom so very lazy as not to bo able to invent some ex cuso for his inactivity. Harper's Round Table tells a story in point. Patrick was the captain of a schooner that plied between New York and Haverstraw on the Hud son. One day his schooner was load ed with bricks, ready to start for New York, but Patrick gave no sign of any intention to get under way. Instead of that, he sat on deck smokinr: a piie. The owner of the brickyard, who was also the owner of the schooner, and who had reasons for wishing the bricks lauded in New York at the earliest possible moment, came hurrying on board and demanded of the captain why ho did not set Bail. 'Shure, your houjr," said Pat rick, "there's no wind." "No wind! Why, what's the mat ter with yon? There's Lawson s schooner under sail, going down the ri ver now. ' ' "Yis, I've been watchin her, but it's no use my gettin under way. She's got the wind now, and, faith, there isn't enough of it for two." Air L'aeU by m llankaa. Being;. Dr. Radcliffe Hall makes the fol lowing interoeting calculation on the amount of air a human being of the average size and proportions will consume in the space of one minute when in repose, and also when in the different degrees of ac tivity. When at rest, we consume 600 cubic inches of air per minute; if we walk at the rate of one mile an hour, we use 800; two miles, 1,000; throe miles an hour, 1,600; four miles an hour, 2,300. If we start out and run lx miles in an hour, we will consume 3,000 cubio inches of air during every minute of that time. St. Louis Republic. Talee of Woodj For Charcoal.

Cables indicated a sluggith market for futures at Liverpool, while crop accounts were generally sized up aa bearish and crop estimates bad an expanding ten dency tbat proportionately increased tbe courage of tbe shorts and led to consid erable tusiness in the way of patting oat additional lines on the bear side of tbe account. There was a disposition to ignore tbe somewbat cotfl.cting charac ter of tbe crop reports from Atlantic sec tions andtne Gulf States, tbe average o which was less favorable. The market opened easy at a decline of 4 to 5 points. further declined 2 to 6 pointa on tbe more active positions, or 5 to 7 points from tbe top prices of tbe morning. The best point of the session was reached just before noon; but at best the market was 8 to 5 points under yesterdays clos ing except for Augast. which at best showed an advance of 5 points, and Sep tember, which reached 7.87. last night's closing figure.
