STARVING RUSSIANS.
Fight Death With Sleep During the
Long Winters.

From the districts Of Popow and o.
Pskow comes the news that the pow
erty-stricken peasants OF those blight
cd provinces are again alone to begin
their annual struggle with death by
starvation. It is not new condition
for these unfortunates to face. For
years the crops have been insufficient
to keep alive the men and women VINO
spend their lives In the sowing and
the reaping. Each winter finds many
victims Of starvation, but adds alsq
to the experience of these thousands
whose one and only object Is to solve
the problem Of keeping body and soul
together.
Their only solution Of the problem
was found in the example OF the low
est orders Of animal-hibernation;
and now when the sun begins to fall
the peasants seek forgetfulness OF
hunger in the Loska or winter sleep.
In the villages and hamlets Of those
districts the men and women and even
little children are busy digging and
piling up great heaps OF peat. me
little grain left is being ground ana
baked into hard loaves Of coarse
bread, and these loaves are boarded
like gold, for they are all that stand
between the peasants and death De-
tween now and the spring.
Around the great oven that stands
In the center of each poor hut the low
wooden cots Of the family are ar
ranged The fires are started. There
is almost no ventilation In the huts,
and that is part of the campaign
against death. The members OF the
family will go down to the winters
sleep" and soon lose consciousness.
One alone of the family will guard
to feed the fire. The vigil is terrible
one. Around him lie those most dear
to him, struggling against death.
Hour after hour the peat-natures
only gift to these unfortunates Is piled
on the fire. The atmosphere is stiff
ling. The sleepers lie in stupor-
more dead than alive-but at least I'M
conscious to the awful pangs OF hun
ger. SRut hunger at last manifests IT.
self Once each day the sleepers
rouse from their stupor, a crust OF the
bread for each is taken from the
board, soaked in water and munched'
The guard is changed, and again the
sleepers crawl back to their cots.
And so day after day, night after
night, the long fight against starva-
ton is kept up-until, at last tne
spring comes, and with 1t new lie ana
new hope.-COrrespondent New YORK

many years in South Africa, "gives
a native greater pleasure than to read
the countenance of white man when
he knows the latter wants informal

trump up an exciting story, and for
an extra quarter he will lay it on
thickly. l have often seen them at
this game, their eyes twinkling with
delight while they have been impart-

that they are making wild statements
as to these supposed battles and the
terrible loss of life which has been in
