THE THINKER
FREELY TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN OF ANTON CHEKOFF,]
A sultry noon. Neither sound or move mant in the air. All nature resembles a large farm forgotten by God and man. Under the drooping foliage of an old lindes tres, which, stands near the quarters of Yashkin, the pilip superintendent, there are sealedʻat'a amall three-lagged table Yashkin himself and, his guest, Pimfoff, the official inspector of the dis trict school, Both are coatless, their waistcoats are unbuttoned; their faces are pampiring, red, and immovable; their ability to express any thing is paralysed by the heat. The face of Pimloff is entirely soured, and oppressed with sluggishness; his oyer are dir, and his lower lip la pendulous, But in the eyes, and on the
of Yashkin there is still noticeable some sort of activity; apparently he is thinking of some matter. Both look at each other, are allent, and give expression to their suffering by puffing and blowing and by striking at the flies with the palm of the hand. On the table la a decanter of vodka, some shredded boiled beef, and a case of sardinas with coario salt. They' have already drunic once, 'twice, three times.
"Yes" suddenly exclaims Yashkin, so un expectedly that the dog, which is dosing near the table, trombles and putting its tail between its legs, runs away.. "Yes! I tell you, Philip. Maksimich, that in the Russian language them. are very many superfluous punctuation marks!” "That is why?" modestly inquires Pimfoff, removing from his glass the small wing of a'fly. "Although there are many marks, each of them has its place and signification."
*Your signs have no meaning whatever. It's only a subtlety. One sticks commas, in a lize and thinks he's clever. For instance, your colleague, Procurator Nerinoff, places a comma after every word. What's it for?. My dear sir -comma, having visited the prison" on such and such a data-comma, I noticed-comma, that the prisoners-comma-phew! It fairly troubles my sight! And it's the same thing in books. Semi-colons, colons, inverted comma It's even repugnant to read. And another fine fellow, one full stop being too few.for him,' takes and sticks in a whole row of them. What's that for 79/
"Science demands it," sighs Pimfoff "Science-madness and not science. They. were invented for the sake of awagger-to throw dust in people's eyes.

Isn't it ail one whether you write 'bread {hylyep in Russian) with or without yah??".
"God knows what you are saying, Ilya Martinical replies Pimfoff, to an offended tone. "How cân 'bread' be written with an e'? Even to bear such a thing said, is un- pleasant."
