through a cut a few miles of Hallville
struck a cow, the pilot tossing the
animal up on one of the sides of the
cut. The cow rolled down under the

Uieso foolish attemnts to foreo an un-

along aa well as there is any necessity in
a foreign country you do not need moro
thuii 1,000 or 1,500 words. Think
Iw cosy it id to get tfcoss words in
your memory. That 'means Ics3 tlinn
tho number of words In an nverage
newspaper column, and It is really tho
fact that you can get enough of French,
say, to gut along with as easily as you
can memorizo a column in tho daily
newspaper. It is so with German and
with Italian. You get the grammatical
construction and then all you have to do
is to mako jourself a vocnbularv.

"I should liko to mako your flesh
creep" is the involuntary thought of ono
who essays to describo tho Indian cock
roach. Who that has been in India does
not know tho flat, shining, ill savored,
coiTeo coloted tiling seen only in dimly
lighted places, tho eyes starting out of
tho head, tho long, over moving feelers,
tho swif t, uncertain movements, the sud
den, uncontrolled flight when ho dashes,
perhaps, into your face, and for a brief
and horrible moment his clammy legs
cling to your skin? What a lifo he" must
leadl Ever In cowardly terror of his
life, his perpetual instinct is to hido
himself. From somo dark comer he
glars at you with guilty eye. As lie

will kill him if you can. and ho knows he
deserves to bo Killed. Even in tho houses
of tho llichet in the land tho trakrivirdi

books bear witness to his ravages, and a
pungent smell betrays his presence In
your wardrobe.
But tho paradise of tho cockroach is a
ship. It is in tho depths of tho ship's
hold, whero ho may hido among tho
cargd undisturbed and feed on all rank
things, that ho is in his glory. Happily
ho seems tinablo to livo except in trop
ical heat, so that in the great passenger
steamers constantly returning to Europe
he is seldom seen. Tho home of his
heart is tho hold of tho ship whoso course
is limited to tlw tropical seas. There,
among bales of rico nnd kegs of oil,
where darkness reigns and tho nir is hot
and foul and whero human foot rarely
intrudes, ho roams at will from post to
post. Thenco the moro venturesome
spirits ascend to tho upper decks and
haunt saloons nnd cihhia. nml rciw.inllv
pantries and storerooms, where corners
and crevices shelter them and there are
endless chances of "loot." Hence comes

Although tho peoplo aro foiever in

ceremonies lie receives one or two roubles,
nnd for the smallest nnd most frequent a
few kopecks. The priest and tho monk
being both joor. it is no unoommon
sight to ieo them bargaining for a mar-
uago or a burial, and disputing tho price
ns they dispute only in Russia. From
that all sorts of anecdotes havo sprung.
On ono occasion it was n priest, who, to
boiwcnged on a father for hisnvaiice,

On another, a jwaeant asked his min
ister for permission to get married in an
other parish. -Very good," said the
priest, "but havo you calculated what
your doing so will iost mo? Now, in
tho first placo I wojild havo married you.
Well, that is bo many roubles. Then,
you will have children, say wsven; that
would bo Hoven baptisms. Next, several
