sought by epicures in the western
world-the wild mushrooms which
grow thousands upon thousands on
the steppes of Russia. At any time a
full and savory meal is provided with
the addition of sausage and onions;
even mushroom alone often con-
texts them for a meal with their
coarse rye bread. The poorest laborer
has also a luxurious drink always
available from the ever-present sam
ovg-, and the tea they drink would be
the envy OF any American connoisseur
of that beverage. fer the best of
China's tea is found in Russia, and all
