Value of Knowing Russian,
from Pearson's Magazine.


When every progressive young German is
doing his utmost to acquire a thorough
knowledge of some other language than
his own 1t seems waste of time for the
Englishman to learn German with an idea
of making money. Instead, he should learn
Russian. Russian is not only the official
language but the actual medium of COM
muncation throughout an empire that ex-
tends from the Baltic to the Yellow sea-
Years ago on the Moscow exchange one
might transact business readily In Ger
man as in Russian; now the native mer-
quire some special inducement to speak it
and in the hurry of business turn aside
impatiently from any one who addresses
them in any other tongue than that they
themselves habitually use. In the near flu
ture. knowledge of Russian will be worth
more to the mere commercial than any two
continental languages, for Russia is making
gigantic strides in all industries. AS a re-
cent visitor aptly describes it, Russia is
new America"
To a young man who adds to a knowl-
edge of Russian practical experience in any
staple industry. Russia offers promising
career Mere theoretical knowledge is not
enough. This is taught, and we'll taught In
the special universities. ST. Petersburg
alone turns out some hundreds of efficient
technologs" every year. Practical work

tainable in Russia, and a capable English
man Is sure of an engagement at a wage

home.

nodded to his son, and away went the bays.

either one thing or the other; who could
be In acts and words either all northern or
all southern without the loss of single

seemed to Lane that, in the momentous
nature of the question at issue and the
solemntty of the situation, only in awe and

young alien, so to speak, a stranger to the
soil, and, up to within forty-eight hours. to
both father and son. who did not hesitate,
as he fficked the ashes off his cigar, to call
upon the young Kentuckian for avowal
of his Intentions. Time had been in the
recent past when Lane, journeying in the
SOUTH found himself getting hot under the
collar when some total stranger on steam
boat, train or hotel veranda would range
alongside, and occasionally, with menace in
look or tone, demand, What are your poll
tioS?" But this came never from men of
education or social standing in the south.
Now, man who mingled however unde-
serving, with the best in Ohio society
sought to probe the politics of one whose
name and lineage were of the best in all
Kentucky. Lane and Holt senior were men
who held a mans politics to be as sacred as
his religion, so grave, so solemn were the
issues of the day Lane would have
checked the questioner could he have fore
seen the question, for in no mans eyas
was Malloy so eager to appear unimpeach
able. But here was opportunity to embar-
rass, annoy, perhaps damage rival in the
estimate of the father of the girl whose

forgot his guard in the greed to strike a
blow.

thus far it had been lucky for them. 1t
cost him more to feed, c1othe and care for
them than as servants or helpers they were

There were dozens more than he could
ever have used Neighbors said they were

say so to him. Life at Belleview had
been something almost patriafchal, but
Beileview, all but the kitchen and quarters
and a portion of the kennel and stables
was now closed to the world. The master
had gone with the stricken brother of the
woman he had so devotedly, passionately

been left to the care or the overseer and

work. The dreams of squiredom and luxu-
rious ease in which the fond old father had
INDUCED were all dispelled. In sad conf
dence he had confessed to his sons that
more than half his means had been swept
away. and that their allowance would be
stinted. Henry was for turning over all
to Norman. Even his small interest in the
business would be enough for him. but
Norman would not listen. They took rooms
