REPORTED EVERYBODY WELL

A story is being told that a citizen
came to the Sanitary Committees
headquarters to inquire why the sub
inspector of his apana had not been
at his house or those of any of his
neighbors for several days. An exami-
nation of the files showed that reports
had been coming in regularly from
that apana, and 1t was suggested that
the citizen must be mistaken. The
day the sub-inspector appeared at the
citizens house, and in answer to in
quiries why he had not been around,
replied that he had been sick, confined
to his house, but that didn't make any
difference, as he had been reporting
everybody else well, regularly every
day.

There never was IL time before when

The Russian Peasant.

1t is asserted by those who have
lived among them that the lowest
types of modern European civilization
are probably the /, Russians. While
writers and travellers vary as to the
future of Russla1neurly all are agreed
as to the utter degradation at presept
of the Russian peasant. He is always
on the verge OF starvatiop and is abb
solutcly improvident, while his gross
and complete ignorance Is combined
With the, Iaost cytravagant sppersti-
ton. Like all low natures, be is thor
oughly dstrustful Of reform, and as n
climax to his iniirmities he Is a con-
firmcd drinker.
Middle class In Russia there is prac-
tlcally none. The small shopkeepers
combine exorbltant charges with
shameful usury. Manufacturers and
producers are nearly all Foreigners,
and the larger trade Of the country Is
chiefly In German hands. Education
