RUSSIAN HOSPITALITY.
American Sailors Find 1t to a Superla-
tive Degree in Siberia.

Tho word ''south" always stands for
hospitality. Therefore we are surprised
to find it in such superlatiye degree in
Russian Siberia. where icebergs were
basking in Mays sunshine. We are the
first man-of-war to have visited VIadf-
vostok since the Marion, and that is SO

the Cars coronation.
There is nothing inviting in the bar

a material that resembles the lining Of

little beside the army and navy and
their hospitality. Not a man of them
spoke English, nor could we "insky,'

Unsightly as the picture is by day,

As the Indians live some distance

At one time they were all brought into

RussIA,s poLYeLor COLLEGES.

The Russian student world does not
represent compact homogeneous mass
of Russians, but reflects the variety of
different nationalities, which form 144.
100000 inhabitants of this empire and of
its 100 or more languages and dialects.

friendly terms with each other.
II is impossible before correct cesus
has been taken to give an eXact estimate
of the number of students in the eight
universities and about thirty-six technical
schools for men and in the ten or eleven

certain that the number has of late

total cannot he below 64.00o The stu
dents are concentrated in few great

them easier. All the universities and al
most all the high technical schools are

exception of a few handles in the cap

starving. A foreigner will also be struck
by their unruliness, lack OF restraint. un-
reliability, lack of enterprise and of per-
severance, aud the more than loose way
in when they regard the very worst
forms of sin. The sense of right aud
wrong seems to be ohliterated 10 a terri
bile extent.
But much must be said IN favor of
these students, to make up for these
dark outlines. Russians are an emo

Unsatisfactory.
Girls who love their gardens do aii the
work themselves. They are to be seen
by few privileged friends running
a eultivator among the roots with far
more interest than they show in many
ether things, while q gardeners assist
and stands by TO do that which is grudg-
ingIy permitted. Narrowing the ground
after the cold of winter is too hard
for her. and that fact she resents. Once
the soil is broken and soft she banishes
the assistant and becomes undisputed
mistress. With her hand well pro-
tected by gloves, she runs no danger of
hurting or making them coarse. and she
selects her tools with the assurance
of a veteran.
Nor is the work of kind frowned
upon either by parents or physicians.
There are health and strength to be
gained for human beings from the soil
quite as there are for plants. more than
one physician has said. When girl
is tired out and run down by the con-
fnement or strain of winter she is di-
rected now to have a garden, where
few years ago she was told TO golf.

The pruning in spring stretches her

deep breathing. Wedding requires that
she should bend and crouch in such a
way that, without realizing it, she be-
comes sturdy and muscular. able to
walk and to run, while at the same time
the elasticity given to the muscles about
the waist prevents her from being any

ders may broaden.
