Overcrowdcd Prisons.
SO frequent has the commission Of
crime become since the advent Of the
famine that the prisons are crowded with
culprits who have either been tried or
are awaiting trial. Goaded to despera-
ton by the pressure OF want, the ordi-
narily self-contained and patient mouiik
has resorted to the commission of Of
lenses, most of which are Of q petty
nature, but bring him within the opera
ton of the law all the same. If the dis
tress does not very soon begin to sensi-
bly, abate it looks as though the Govern
ment would be forced to erect addition

prevalent proves the terrible state the

fenced to Siberia rather than languish
under brief sentences in the local jails,
where the food is worse than poisonous,
and in order to force their judges to
infiict terms Of Siberian exile upon them
they resort to various tricks, becoming
violent in court, cursing the judge and
using insulting language toward the law

The other Volga districts present a
series of physical contrasts, both racial
and typographical. The seeker after a
conglomeration of opposite types would
have hard task to discover greater
variety than can be found in this region.
The Russian peasantry predominate
over the other races. and have many in
teresting characteristics. They may be
described as people Of undeveloped
possibilities, dormant capacity for re-
ceiving and displaying the advantages
Of refinement and education lying be-
meath their rougher exterior. The
Sclavonic race, whose very name is de-
rived from a word signifying glorious, !"
has, indeed, within itself the material
from which glorious things are evolved.
Opportunity alone is wanting to trans
form the simple Slav Of rural Russia
into a being capable OF taking prom
inent place among the peoples who
year by year are creating all that the
world possesses of progress in the arts
and sciences. Physically the Russian
