The teacher was discoursing to the

the familiar illustration of the sting of
wasp" he said, las compared with
the finest needle. When examined
through a microscope the sting is still
sharp, smooth and polished, while the
needle appears blunt and rough.

Of nature are infinitely superior to

RUSSIAN PROVERBS.

Roguery is the last of trades.
Without cheating, no trading.
Every fox praises his own tail.
A debt is adorned by payment.
A good beginning is half the work.
Every little frog is great in his own
bog.
Trust in God, but do not stumble
yourself.
Go after two wolves and you will not
catch even one.
If God doesn't forsake us, the pigs
will not take us.
The deeper you hide anything the
sooner you find it.
Be praised not for your ancestors,
but for your virtues.
Send pig to dinner and he will put
his feet on the table.
