the part of the Russians is that shortly after
one settles in peasant village he is
found to possess "A mortgage on every piece of
valuable property in the village. The Russians
themselves live from hand to mouth. and both
peasants and mobiles spend their money as fast
as they make it. They are great borrowers and

and they are fond of giving big dinners. 1t is
not uncommon for a whole sheep to be brought
on the table at such dinners, and imported wines
flow like water. They are very fond of flowers,
and there was a dinner given at st. Petersburg
not long ago at which rare orchids adorned the
board and at which the flowers cost more than
Sl0, 900. At some dinners given by young men
the host expects to pay for all the damage
that may be caused by the young fellows when
they are drunk after the feast. and there have

small fortune. Still. at the better class restau-
