The Worst Paved City.

Moscow is probably the worst paw
ed city in the world. Great cobble-
stones driven by hand into q loose bed
Of sand form q roadway which is al
ways dusty in summer and muddy in
autumn, and in many of the roads
there is no attempt at a roadway Of
any kind. The streets are badly wa
tered and cleaned.
The city is regarded by the Russians
as 1.-THE holy city," probably because of
the large number of monasteries 1t con-
tains. It was once the capital Of the
empire and still enjoys the distinction
of being considered the capital Of the
interior. but there does not seem to be
any particular desire on the part Of
the authorities to make it more worthy
Df it's title.
