In order to tighten the hard life OF
the poor classes the government main
talns parks for their amusement in the
summer time. These places are equip,

music, tests of strength appliances, ETC.
etc. There are 1S5 annual holidays in
Russia, and on one of these occasions
the humble subjects of the Car may be
seen at the resorts standing stupidity
around, munching sUnfower seeds. play

delight to them. I saw a stalwart

advertisement called His Master s

quires only the comparison of the ham
pered and famished life of the one,
with the privileged and prosperous ex-
lstence of the other, to show that the
Yankee toiler is extremely favored. A
gentleman living in Moscow told me
about having dress suit made in that
place. He gave the order to tailor
and sent it out to be made in Jewish
family. Afterward the tailor who made
the suit told the owner that all he got
for the work was seventy-fve cents. He
said further that by utilizing the whole
time of his entire family he could earn
only two or three dollars week.

because he cannot afford to pay rent.
The people think so little of having
their footwear repaired that the artisan
must get out where people can see him
or he viii attract no customers. So he
wanders about the streets, carrying his
tools with him. The photographer has

of making necessary repairs. A few

TIE VILLAGE INDUSTRIES.
T.ero are eight million people en-
pleyed in what is known as the village
in !ust1ies of russia This branch of
lalor was established partly on account
of the long winters neeessitating some
occupation aside from outdoor work for
the people of the farm communities,
and because it was contrary to their de-
sire to leave home during the dull sea-
son. During the primitive period of
this economic development the head of
each household would invest his surplus
cash in stock of raw material, which
would be worked up by members of the
family and disposed of at a small profit
til the people of a whole village or dis
trict became specialists in the manu-
facture OF some particular article. In
the province of Vladimir the inhabi-
tants of a number of villages live by
painting ikons. In another locality the
residents OF nineteen villages are ex-
clusiveIy employed in the manufacture
of axes. Eighty villages turn out cut
lery, and fully 200 communities are en-
gagged in making nails. The range of
the products produced in this way also
includes household utensils, articles of
pottery, leather goods, mating, toys,
and needlework.
In one of these villages an old woman
will be the superintendent of company
of little girls, who are put to the task
of spinning flax in a primitive way.
She manages the little laborers by re-,
citing folk stories and reading strange
tales from old books IN nearby house
some old man whose infirmities will not
permit of his doing physical labor, viii
have charge of crowd of boys engaged
in making wicker work. AT intervals
during each day the little people are
given a recess the same as if they were
in school. If the weather is too bad for
them to romp out of doors they are al
lowed to sing and talk, especially if the
character of the work they are doing
does not require close attention.

| to prevent their spread by pulling away
timbers. They put in the most of their
time standing around smoking cigar
cites, while the small boys of the neigh
borhood do the work.
One of the best proofs of the debased
condition of labor in Russia is afforded
by the swarms of hungry hack drivers
in all the cities. In st. Petersburg
alone there are over 10000 public hacks
which are used during the summer
months, while during the winter over
10000 sledges are at the disposal of the
public. The drivers of these are farm
ers who have TO supplement their labor
in the country by working portion OF
each year in the city. 1t seems pity
that the honorable and Independent
calling of the agriculturist should be so
depressed that its members cannot make
livelihood from it, and are forced to
leave their homes for portion OF eacA
year to do the work of metropolitan
menials. yet this is the case in Russia.
LODGING AND COFFEE.
There are several companies which
employ these men, and the general rule
is that each driver must turn IN dollar |
and half every night. All he takes IN |
over that amount he may keep for hlm-
self. Any day that he fails to turn in
the stipulated sum the shortage is en-
tered against him to be made up on sue
ceeding days. The drivers are gwen
place to sleep, and are provided with
coffee in the morning, but aside from
this they have to buy all their food.
Those who manage to earn ten dollars
month consider themselves in good luck.
Although St. Petersburg has next to
no street car service, there being moth
ing but horse ear line on the prlnclpal
opposition to the hack
drivers is afforded by the ice railways
There are three of these lines that oper-

ate across and up and down the river.
Their concession is only for the winter.
After six months of operation the cars
are retired for the remainder of the
year. The fare across the river on the
ice railway is only one cent, while the
men who operate the sledges charge two
and half cents for each passenger.
