Petersburg is an old peasant woman
with wonderful memory. Her name
is Trina Andrejewna Fedosova; She is
seventy yesss of age. can neither read
nor writet but knows by heart over
nineteen thousand legends, folksongs
and poems! When she gives public
recital the scene is striking one. A
little bent figure appears, hobbies ON to
the platform, sits down on chair, with
hands folded, and withered face quite
expressionless. Amid hush of expec-
tation she begins to speak; then her
face brightens, her eyes open widely
and sparkle, while her voice grows
clear and penetrating. She looks ten
years younger in her enthusiasm, as
she half speaks, half sings the legends
of her youth, tales of great wars, old
fairy tales, long-lost tragedies or tender
love stories, while the audience, carried
away by her strange magnetism, listens
spellbound, laughs and weeps at her
will. She is the rage in the Russian
capital, and we hear that two eminent
literary men have written down a num-
Der of her memory-stored treasures
which they intend to publish in book
form, when it should prove rich find
