every village has a steam bath house and
the whole population turns out every Sat-
urday and before every holy communion,
confession or fast day, and for the time be-
comes bodily clean. / am told that in the
villages both sexes 60 into the bath at the
same time. 1t is said that no other person
but Russian could stand the experience OF
one of these vapor baths such as are taken
in the same oven in which the family bakes
its bread, and I am sure no other person
would care to utilize the bakeoven for that
purpose. I hear that in the winter the
peasants sometimes rush naked out from the
bath and roll in the snow, and this I can
conceive to be possible, for in the country
villages of Japan a man will come naked
from the hot bath into the cold winter air
and walk home with his clothes under his
arm.
OF course, villages of this nature have no
sanitary arrangements whatever. There are
no street lamps or water works, and the
women of the family draw the water from
the we'll of the town or carry 1t from the
nearest stream. No Russian girl of such a
peasant village ever sees a washboard nor
has any idea of washing machines or patent
wringera She does not even know what q
wash tub is, and the clothes of the family
are carried by her to the nearest stream, and
standing in the water she pounds the dirt
out of them with club.
A Rich Family at Dinner.
Iwent with the Countess Tolstoi through
one Of her villages on the Tolstoi estate,
and in one of the houses which we visited
we found the family at dinner. The Count
ess told me that this was one of the richest
families OF peasants she had on her estate,
snd what do you think was their menu? 1t
was cabbage soup and rye bread. The
family were sitting around the table and
there were about ten Of them in all. Each
had a wooden spoon and they were SCOOP
ing out the soup at great rate. They had
no butter and no meat ana the Russian
peasants see but little of either They are
happy if they get bit of meat once q week,
and their chiet diet is cabbage soup and rye
bread, with q sort of buckwheat mush as a
change. They have milk from their cows and
eggs from their hens, and their favorite
from black bread called kvas They are
very rigid as to the fast days and they
eat now and then a bit of dry fish, which
is cheap in Russia They are fond
of sour cabbage and cucumbers, and they eat
their cucumbers raw with the skins on. But
they have no idea of what We would call
garden stuff. and in the famine part of Rus
sia, where the people are still being largely
supported by charity, there are vast quanti-
