THREE TYPES IN RUSSIA,
They Are Known as the Great, the
Little and the White
Russians.

There are three grand divisions of
the nationality--the great Russians.
the little Russians and the white Rus
slams. The great Russians center at
Moscow. the little Russians at Kieff
The blood of the white Russians is
pure, but their civilization is less adj
vanced than that OF the other two.
The great Russians many times the
most numerous, are the vigorous and
pushing element of the Russian ma
ton. Though the least Slavic. it has
been the great colonizer of the Slavic
race. Its whole history has been of
one long struggle against Asia.
The great Russians stature Is often
er high than low; his skin is white,
his eyes often blue, his hair mostly
blonde. The little Russian is hand
somer, taller. livelier, more alert in
mind, but more changeable, medita-
tive, indolent. He. has more independ-
ence, more individuality and is more
dreamy and poetical.
The white Russian Is so called be-
cause he is fond OF wearing white
clothes, yet he is not as clean as the
other two divisions of his country
men. In old times he was also called
white" because OF hts freedom from
taxation.
