the personnel of the 1906 conyen

Each section seems TO have sent as
delegates it's best qualified men.
Wrangling was no part OF the pro-
ceedings. Conservative expressions
predominated and met with general
and hearty approval. Every tend
ency toward bombast and buncomb
met with cold reception The work
of President Jordan's administration
was approved by rising and unani
nous vote. and cold water thrown on
the efforts OF ex-Vice President Pet

tempted to discredit the officers of
the association.
Beyond the shadow OF a doubt, the

LIFE IN A RUSSIAN VILLAGE.
Interior OF q Peasant Home -Food and
Clothing or the People.

The general appearance of the village is
u picturesque and quaint, and the white
cottages give it a bright tone. Let us go
into one of them, says a writer in Sunday
at Home, who spent some tim among the
muiiks. This one is a little larger than
most Of the others, and contains three
rooms. Two of them are occupied by a
peasant family of six persons-four adults,
q boy of is and a small child.
One of the rooms is the kitchen, and fur
nished with a large stove, surrounded by
benches, which at night are used as beds.
The only other furniture is a table and a
few stools. Some kitchen utensils are
scattered about the floor and the table. and
the walls are plentifully adorned with
brilliantly painted ikons or religious pic
lures. The rooms are lighted by SINAI
windows Theoretically sealed, and the at
mosphere is not Of the purest. The third
room is let to a lodger, a candidate for holy
orders, who is assisting the local priest.
When l arrived he was busy cleaning his
bicycle, which he had hung up outside the
door; even the r~eactionary Orthodox Church
Is not wholly blind to the blessings of c,vili-
ration. This family has an allotment Of
about seventeen acres, for which G3 81 ave
to be paid yearly in taxes, including the in
stalments for the endowment, but the latter
will have been repaid in full in seven wears
time. They also own three horses and two
foals, a COW, a calf, three pigs and four
sheep, Around the house is a yard enclosed
by a wooden fence and sugIe sheds and
stables.
The peasants food consists chiefly of
kasha Ia ssrtcf s.ruep, black bread. cabbage

soup, and on rare occasions a little meat.
They drink water, kvas Ia ~non-alcoholio
vodka or spirits. The mems clothing con-
sists of red cotton shirts and jackets, and
trousers enclosed in high boots or canvas
leggings, with sandals of vegetable fibre.
The women also wear cotton materials
and brightly colored handkerchiefs.
These light clothes are worn even in
winter. for the izbas are heated to a very
high temperature. and for going out Of
doors thick sheepskins are donned, a most
effective protection against cold. 1t cannot
be said that the Russian peasant is the
cleanliest Of mortals, for although he has
his weekly bath on Saturday evening, he
puts on the same clothes and the sarre
rarely changed linen again afterward.
The odor produced by a crowd of Russian
peasants in a heated room is quite indies
%scribable.
