If you would see the rich Russia
of the middle classes spending money
in luxury and meaningless excuses
you should go to manufacturing Mos
cow There is the money. There they
made it, and there they spend it. There
is indeed fairly close approximate
of the life of the people of this class
and the millionaire descendants Of the
early millionaires of the United States,
according to an account in the London
Outlook.
Some of the best judges declare that
even in Paris the Moscow ways Of pre-
pairing food are hardly bettered
t"Cochon de lait Moscovite," or sucking
pig, is seen on nearly every dinner ia
Bile. Hundreds Of these young pigs
only about a week old and ready for
the oven are seen in every market, and
they are roasted whole as bird
would be.
Angle For Own Fish.
Caviare is served with specially
made little cakes, crisp and dainty.
But better than this is the sterlet,
which the epicures Of the world know
to be the finest eating fish. 1t Is
condition for the enjoyment of the
sterlet that it should be eaten fresh,
and at one of the chief restaurants IN
Moscow the sterlets are kept In tank,
and the diner catches his own from 1t
and has it cooked for him. 81
There are no sterlets In London, but
they have been as far as Paris. for
the cars chef Cubat got them there
by filling their gills with breadcrumbs
which had been soaked In brandy.
They were unconscious during the
Journey, but revived when placed IN
water again in Paris.
The cellars of Moscow contain the
best vintages Of wine that are known,
and the prices do justice to the vim
tages as they do in no other capital.
So to dine Ia mode in Moscow Is to
dine at cost.
Trained Bear For Eoieures.
One might instance the case OF q
highly intelligent trained bear that
thought and counted. 1t was seen ar
exhibition by one of the prod1gals,
bought for very large sum and or
dered to be cooked for dinner party.
The only doubt in the matter arose
some months afterward, when the
owner had another performer which
he said he had trained in the NEAL
time, but which some people consid-
cred had a peculiar resemblance to the
one that was believed to have been
eaten.
Then there was a host who took out
all the wires and work from a highly
expensive grand piano, stopped up all
the holes inside, and then poured In
champagne until it was full and set
a sufficiency Of sterlets swimming In
it, leaving the guests to come and take
their own in the usual way.
Rolled In caviare Bath.
There is another example in the cas-
ual visit Of one of the rich young
bloods to certain cafe chantant OF
superior kind, where a small ballet
was in progress. Young Dives had the
restaurant cleared Of tables and chairs,
sent out for caviare and had it pasted
all over the floor until there was not
an inch that was not black with it,
and then by instruction and at a
price the girls of the ballet in their
pretty costumes came on to this floor
and lay down on it and rolled from one
side of the room to the other.
