two extra pitchers of cold water. From
the time it took to get all this it was
evident there had been no such call for
water at the leading telry of Irkutsk
for many day. Our order was finally
filled, and with our own soap, towe,s and

Irkutsk has disappointed us. We ex-
pected too much. We had read that it
was really a European city, wealthy, Gull

pretentious sizes it up. Viewed from afar,
churches, chape's and white blu ldings, and

city an alluring aspect. Another illustra-
