no race OF men are endowed with that
gift more extensively than the French.
An example OF the F~renchman's rare

that sweet little story OF u man who had
ventured to compliment a white-hafred

MY MAN JOHN.
His virtues and ExnIoits.

by Archibald Forbes, War Correspondent. ]
Goa is forlorn and decayed settlement
on the west coast of Hindustan, the last
remaining relic of the once wide domin-
ions of the Portuguese in India.
It's inhabitants are Roman Catholic,
ever since. in the sixteenth century, St.
Francis Xavier, the colleague of Loyola
in founding the Society OF Jesus, baptised
the Goanese in mass.
Its once. splendid capital is now MAS
matte wreck, its cathedrals and churches
are ruined and roofess, and only few
black nuns remain to keep alight the sa-
cred fire before a crumbling altar.
Today the adult males of Goa, such of
them as have any enterprise, emigTate in
to less dull and dead regions OF India,
and are found everywhere as cooks, ship
stewards, messengers. and in similar
mental capacities. They all call them
selves Portuguese and own high-sound-
ing Portuguese surnames. Domingo de
Gonsalvez de Soto viii cook your curry,
and Pedro de Gutierrez is content to at
tend your children. The vice of those
dusky noblemen is their addiction TO
drink. The better sort are eager to serve

not have hesitated to undertake a capital
