The Baltimore NcmS thus describes the
way people keep warm in Russia: The
Russians have II great Bnack of making
their winters pleasant. You feel nothing
of the cold in those tightly built houses,
where all the windows are double and
where the rooms are kept warm by big
stoves hidden in the walls. There is no
damp in Russian house, and the inmates
may dress indoors in the lightest of garbs,
which contrast oddly with the mass Of furs
and wraps which they don when going
out. A Russian can afford to run no risk
OF exposure when he leaves his house tor
walk or drive. He covers his head and
ears with fur bonnet, his feet and legs
with felt boots lined with wool or fur,
which are drawn on over the ordinary
boots and trousers and reach up to the
knees; he next clOaks himself in an ample
top coat with fur collar, lining and cuffs,
and he buries his hands in u pair of finger
less gloves of seal or bear skin. Thus
equipped, and with the collar of his coat
raised all around so that it muflles him up
to the eyes, the Russian exposes only his
nose to the cold air, and he takes care
frequently TO give that organ Il little rub
to keep the circulation going. A stranger,
who is apt to forget that precaution, would
often get his nose frozen if it were not for
the courtesy of the Russians, who will
always warn him if they see his nose
"whitening,' and will, unbidden, help
him to chafe it vigorously with snow. In
Russian cities. walking is Just possible for
men during the winter, but hardly SO for
ladies. The women of the lower order
wear knee boots; those of the shop keeping
classes seldom venture out ut all; those of
the aristocracy go out in sleighs. These
are by no means pleasant vehicles for
nervous people, for the Kalmuck coachmen
drive them at such II terrific pace that
they frequently capsize; but persons not
destitute of pluck find their motion most
enjoyable. 1t must be added that to be
spilled out OF Russian sleigh is tanta.
mount only TO getting Il rough tumble on
