The Russian soldiers diet is largely
vegetarian. Favorite dinner dishes in

toes. peas. beans, macaroni and vari-
GUS kinds of porridges. eaten with on
ions and lard. Only half n pound of
meat is allowed each man daily, and
the Russian pound is ten per cent less
than in this country. Mushrooms are
consumed in great quantities when in
season. Three pounds of black rye
bread are included in the daily rations
and IL any is left over the men are
at liberty to sell the remains. AS the
soldiers bread is very nourishing and
purer than the ordinary bakers, the
extra rations sell well. In the way of
drink, beer is too great luxury for
him. so he quenches his thirst with
"qvas," cheap substitute made from
fermented black bread. On high days
the soldiers are regaled with yodki

The Jopanesc Maid.

A Japanese maid is now an absolute
necessity to the society woman who
desires to be strictly up to date.
Prominent women in New York are
all adopting the idea, and they are
finding that the pretty Jap women can
attend to their wants far better than
the French maid. who for so long has
been in such demand by the smart set.
There are several reasons why the
Japanese woman makes a better maid
than the French, German or English
woman. In the first place she is the
most cleanly person on the face of the
earth, and that counts for whole lot.
Then she knows how to dress the hair
better than any of her sisters and she
knows more little secrets which are of
value in milady's boudoir than the
woman of any other nationality.
