Out OF Doors in Cxprsnnd.

We have had OF late a good many books from
harsh critics OF the Russian people and their
institutions. 1t Is a pleasant change to got
one written from a disinterested and even
sympathetic point Of view. Such was the COL
lection OF careful studies at first hand by Mac
kenzis Wallace. but 1t is now a good many
years since that was published. 1t 10 not on
the score OF usefulness. but on that of its kind
ly and induIgent spirit that we would compare
with the unique and authoritative work OF Mr..
Wallace the modest little volume called Out Of
Doors in Tsdrland. BY FRED J. WH1sHAw
uongmans. Green & CO... Tho author has
resided for some years in Russia. and. as they
have been happy years. he feels n sense OF
gratitude to the Russian people. and has pre-
sented these impressions Of an unscientiGc
observer in the hope OF convincing many read
ers that. in spite OF all that has been written
about the seamy side OF Russia. there exists
much which is admirable In that well-abused
country. and much which is interesting and
lovable in Its inhabitants. There Is. at all
events. the charm OF novelty in q book on
Russia. in whose pages there lie no reference
to Russia's mission in the east or to the will OF
Peter the Great. no ~alluslon to Nlhilists. and
no mention whatever Of Siberia.

inflicted; the apportioninR OF the communal
land 10 attended to: the proper dates for cut
ting hay and reaping are discussed and set
tied. and the passports OF the villagers are in-
spected and renewed. Tho most important OF
these functions is undoubtedly that o, deter
mining how much OF the communal land is
to DO taken over and cultivated by each
moujik. Where the land Is coed and
repays every stroke OF tho spado with
interest the difficulty Of apportionl ng the
allotmcnts without creating jealousics Is con-
siderable: for each moujik will naturally be
anxious to obtain rs large q share as possible.
On tho other hand. in districts where the land
Is poor. and requires much manuring and
more work in order to produce results com-
mensurate with the amount OF tax to be paid
upon It. the moujik will show but little anxiety
to saddle himself with more than Is absolutely
necessary. Hence 1t is difficult to please all
parties. whether the land be good or bad. IL
falls to the village government to settle such
delicate questions as these. tho outside au-
thorlties having nothing to do with the matter.
except in so far as TO collect the total amount
OF Government taxation due from the village in
consideration Of the number OF souls which It
contains. As to the exact location OF the par
ticular strip OF land which becomes the share
OF each individual. this lie settled by lot. the
portions which are nearest to tho village be.
ing, OF course. otner thlnRs being equal. the
most desirable. All decisions Of the mir.
are accepted without demur. II any moujik
be condemned to cnstigation or imprison-
ment In tho village lookup. he bears his punish-
ment with cauanimity and without questions
Ing the right OF the community to inflict it.
Among other duties OF tho mir or village
should be mention ed that OF making
contracts for any work that may have to be
done. or for tho disposal OF communal prop
erty: OF letting the shooting over tho village
land OF hearing petitions for the erection Of
new buildings: Of ~elocting the tax Gatherer.
the cowherd. and the un-uniformed policeman
who acts under the Government Inspector OF
Rural Police. Besides the starost himself. .
pcesar or scribe is elected by the mir: tho lat
ter. though n subordinate. is m almost omnip-
otent official. who can write practically what
no pleases. inasmuch as few or mono OF the
peasants can read what he has written. The
coming generation. however. will occupy q
better position with regard to their scribos.
for thanks to tho Zemstva, whose duty 1t is to
see after education among other things. the
proportion Of juvenile monjiks who can read
and write is daily becoming greater. Such.
concisely outlined. is the present condition OF
the Russian mir or rural m as 1t has
been studied in its actual workings by the
author OF the book before us.

so-called modern movement in American art
is to DO studied. 1t was In New York In 1877
and 1S7Sthat the pioneers OF what Is some
times styled the new school" and sometimes
1.-THE younger men" appeared. They came from
their studies in Paris and Munich. and
promptly founded a society OF the own. The
name Of their organization was changed In
1878 to tho Society Of American Artists. and 1t
was Incorporated under that title four
years later. 1t has held exhibitions in New
York every spring. with the exception OF 1885.
and has maintained the highest standard OF
excellence. Somewhat larger. but uneven In
