"Anil you will tlnd," he answered me,
"I'll keep my promise true,

And had niv share of honest joy

Strange Details Concerning a Host
Strange People.
Amid all that is. etrange and re-markable
in Russia the most inter-esling
is the people. I have never
yel met with a race so fascinating
to Mud; as the Russian. They
have sn many strung, well developed
traits and these traits are apparent-ly
utterly incompatible, and contra-dictory.
It is this combination of
positive • xtreme and yet apparent-ly
irreconcilable qua'itiee that
makes the people se>in an etrange
anil interesting. And it is inevita-ble
that the daily life, customs and
institution*, of such people should
iil-r. -tern i|iieer anil peculiar to us.
And it is to study this people and
their life that I am traveling so ex
tin-ively in this huge empire and
-n far out of the heaten tracks
Kur Russia is a land of all sorts of
rountry and all kinds of people.
You can travel in the Russian Em-pire
in a straight line 10,000 milig
and never leave the Czar's domin-ions,
or 7,000 miles north of the
arctic circle, and naturally the pen
I'll' and tiieir life will differ much
in the different pane of such an
immense country. So far I have
been from Petersburg through Mos-cow.
Nijni Novgorod and Kazan to
Samara on the Volgo—through
Central and Kast European Russia,
and it is of this that I write tlret.
THE KL'SKIAM PEOPLE
Are in two great classes, the well
born, rich or educated, and the poor
and ignorant. The great bulk of
the population is the latter class,
a class that is lower in civilization
and advancement than any lot of
people we have in the United States.
These are the workingmen of the
country, the life of the nation. It
was the city part of this class that
I Brat investigated. Through the
kindness of friends I was able to
see these men at work and in
their homes, to visit their houses
to talk with the men who em-ployed
them, and in all ways I
have taken the greatest pains to
ascertain the exact truth, as Russia
is so little known and so much mis-represented.
In the first place, where and how
do the city workmen live? Here at
the very start we come upon a most
peculiar situation. There are no
workmen's houses. No houses are
ever built for them, ordinarily. Of
cmirse they live, and in houses.
Rut the houses are not theirs.
They were never intended for them,
and are never owned by them. The
houses in which the workmen live
are the remains of buildings which
were originally built for and oc-cupied
by people of more or less
means, and which now are so dilap-idated
that no one will live in them
except the "Moujiks," as are com-monly
called all this lower class of
■ l.e Russian population. Houses in
i lie cities must be of brick or stone,
but in all Petersburg, a city of
1.000.000 inhabitants, of the Mou-jiks
who have wealth enough to pay
a fair rent for even part of one
room in a new brick house, there
are probably not enough to fill one
-iicli house. And if there were
enough, they would get the house
so thoroughly dirty and dilapidated
in such a short time that the owner
would never consent to rent it to
them, consequently the workmen
dwell in the cast-olf houses of their
betters, in a home never intended
for t hem, and which, therefore, they
never own.
Hut when you say that the
HI -IAS CITY WOKKMAN
Is too poor to rent a room in a
new bouse, you have not told half.
Not only can he not rent such a
room, but he cannot rent a jroom
even in an old house.
What does he do then? Why,
he rents a corner of a room—that
is, if he is a married man and lias
a family. One room, therefore, is
ordinarily occupied by fouror more
families. These will have a wash-stand,
some hooks for clotbs, Ac,
in common. If the man is by him-self,
he rente only space enough for
a bed. The bed, if he is well off,
will be a narrow cot; if he is poor,
simply a mattress, or maybe some
straw, and the bed clothes, if there
are any, are a blanket and a com-fort,
all dark brown or black with
dirt.
In every room there is an "ikon."
This is a small picture of the Vir-gin,
Christ or one of the saints, in-closed

covered, except over the face and

hands, by bright gilt or silver
paper. The whole thing is from
two to twelve inches tall.
The fact that no houses are ever
built for laborers In the cities works
itself ont in the end to the great
benefit of a large part of the Moujik
population. It is in this way.
Since the workmen live ia such
houses as are no longer fit for any
other use, their number can in-crease
only as these houses in-crease.
But in Petersburg and
other rapidly growing places these
houses do not increase as fast as
do the new demands for workmen.
The result is a scarcity of labor,
and to remedy this the employers
are compelled to house their hands
themselves.
ALL EHI'LOIEKS AOKIK
In saying that this requires more
time and trouble than to attend to
all their business. One proprietor
told me that a very familiar occur-rence
was two families having a
stove in common, and for one of
the matrons to put a dish on the
stove, go away and come back to
find her neighbor has moved said
dish and put one of her own in its
place. At this they begin to talk
and row till both dishes are turned
over and the fire put out. By this
time it is the dinner hour and the
two heads of the families appear
and find everything in a mess and
no dinner for them. Next day both
sides bring their case to the em-ployer,
who has to straighten every-thing
out. Nevertheless the em-ployers
must put up with this or go
short of hands. The houses the
employers build for their men are
much more comfortable. They are
put up on the edge of town, and
are made wholly of logs and board-ed
over inside. Between the logs
some fibrous material is stuffed to
keep out the cold in winter. Then
small rooms are petitioned off and
one given to each family. The
rooms for the unmarried men, were
it not for the extreme dirtiness of
everything, would look like the
rooms in a hospital. They are fill-ed
with narrow cots, with aisles
and hooks for clothes in between.
The cost of the lodging of a city
working man will, according to
statistics compiled by the Imperial
Government, vary from 25 cents to
tl 50 a month, or $3 to $18 a year.
These workmen live so cheaply that
usually the man can make enough
for his family, and the wife stays
at home to take care of the chil-dren,
cook, wash, &c.
Of late years education has been
made compulsory for all children
in cities, and villages even, so that
the younger portion of the family
will be in school till they are 12 or
14 years old."
If the father
IS VElIt SHIFTLESS,
Or gets drunk unusually often, the
rest of the family will go to beg-ging
on the street. This is especi-ally
the case in Moscow. Moscow
is in a situation entirely different
from that of Petersburg. In the
first place, Moscow is not growing
so fast as Petersburg, and there is
not the same demand for labor
there. And in the second place, it
is the real center of all Russia.
Men come to Petersburg ; they drift
to Moscow, and Moscow, being a
rambling, much spread out place,
with many old houses and plenty of
room on the edge of town for log
houses, it can accommodate many
more Moujiks than Petersburg. And
thus Moscow baa an oversupply of
labor. The result is that the
streets are always full of dirty,
hungry-looking men, women and
children, with nothing to do but to
beg. (For these people, by the
way, there are houses in Moscow
that furnish lodging for the night
at three kopecks apiece, or a cent
and a half for each man.)
The above is a fair description
of the homes of the great hulk of
the city laboring population of
Russia. It is not merely of the
poverty-stricken part of that popu-lation,
but of the whole mass of it.
If the description is in any way in-correct,
it is in being too favora-ble.
The conditions are rarely
better than I have given them, and
are often worse.
The way these Moujiks dress to
meet a temperature of 00 degrees
in summer and 20 to 40 degrees be-low
zero in winter is most peculiar
and striking. One of the most real
PROBLEMS THE TEllI'LE
Of Russia have to deal with isthtt
of dress. In summer the ther-mometer,
even as far north as St.
Petersburg, is often 90 degrees,
while in winter the cold is so uni-versal
and so severe that from
north to south every river in the
land is frozen over. This easily
explains why dressing is so import-ant.
To the Russian workman the
question is especially a vital one.
To have two full sets of clothes,
one for winter and one for summer,
is more than he can afford. He
has met this dilliculty in a most in-teresting
and to him satisfactory
way; and whether he lives in the
country or in the city his dress is
the same.
There is first bis summer cos-tume.
This is truly simple. He
wears a shirt, trousers, boots or
bassets, and sometimes socks. This
is practically his whole outfit, and
anything more is merely incidental
or occasional. Of these simple and
familiar garments he gets up the
most striking rig I have ever seen.
The shirt is a blouse—a real Rus-sian
blouse. It is a very full all
around and made of bright red cot-ton
cloth, or of blue or pink cloth.
The trousers are of ordinary^ shape
and of most any color. Usually
they are of heavy dark blue calico.
The color is immaterial, as event
ually they are all dirt eoloi. The
boots come clear to the knee, are
very tight, and around the instep
much wrinkled, often artificially.
When our Moujik goes to dress he
puts on his trousers, and also a
pair of heavy socks, if he has them.
Then he puts on his boots and
stuffs the ends of his trousers down
in them. Over hie trousers he
PITS UN HIS BED SHIRT,
But never does he stuff the tails
thereof inside his trousers. He
simply lets them hang outside.
They usually reach a foot or two
below his waist. Over this shirt,
at the waist, be has a string or
leather belt. This serves to keep
his shirt close to him and to hold
up his trousers.
Probably half the workmen, how-ever,
have no boots light enough
for summer. Instead they wear
rags and baskets. The baskets are
in design a cross between sandals
and slippers, and are made wholly
of straw. The front part comes
over the foot, the rest is like a san-dal.
In wearing these the Moujik
first wraps a lot of pieces of rags
and cloth around his foot and leg
up to the knee and outside his
trousers. Then he puts on his bas-kets,
or straw shoes, and ties them
on with string, which he also wraps
around the rags. The great ad-vantage
of this footgear is that it
is economical. The rags and
strings are picked up for nothing,
the straw shoes cost one cent a
pair. This is practically the total
summer costume of the greater
part of the whole Russian popula-tion,
both city and country. No
underclothes are ever worn. When
a man is not actually at work he
will wear, if it is cool enough, a
coat or vest and cap. Hats are
never worn, but a cap is usually
worn even while the man is work-ing,
probably because that is the
easiest way to take care of it.
The change from summer to win-ter
clothing is easily made by the
Moujik. He simply puts a thick
sheepskin coat over his summer
costume, a sheepskin cap on his
head, and substitutes felt for leath-er
boots. The coat is
MADE Or SHEEPSKIN
In its natural state, with the wool
on the inside. It reaches about to
the knees or a little lower, and is
often plaited below the waist be-hind,
looking like a big, broad bus-tle.
The cap is circular and made
also with the wool turned inside.
The boots are very curious. They
are nothing but felt molded into
the shape of a boot. No heel, no
sole, no lining or covering mars
their simplicity. They reach to
the knee, and have the bottom per-fectly
round. The felt always
grows thicker as it goes toward the
foot, and I have seen these boots
with the felt three inches thick
around the foot, and I have not
yet been in the coldest parts of the
country. Of course, they are in-tended
eolely for snow, and if used
only in the snow last for years.
They cost from 50 cents to $2 a
pair.
The drees of the women atd
children is similar to that of the
men. The boys are exact copies
of their fathers, except they usual-ly
go barefoot—red or blue blouses,
with the shirt tails hanging out.
boots, if they have any, reaching
to the knee, with their trousers
stuffed in them, and cape, make up
their summer costume. For win
ter add the sheepskin and felt
boots. The women wear long cot
ton cloaks and short skirts, big,
thick leather boots, the same as the
men, or else baskets, and a shawl
over their heads. The little girls
look like they were all "playing
grown up." All wear long dresses
and shawls draped over their heads
and shoulders, and reaching to the
ground. In winter time boys, girls,
men and women all wear sheepskins
and felt boots If you a9k whether
the moujik has no medium between
a single cotton garment and
A rOB OVERCOAT,
I answer "No." He has no clothes
for spring and autumn, because in
the greater part of Russia there is
practically no spring and autumn.
And you will see some queer pic-tures
arising from this absence of
the intermediate seasons. Thus 1
have seen two moujiks walking
side by side, one in hie red blouse,
without coat or vest and barefoot,
the other in heavy felt boots and
sheepskin coat and cap. Of course,
if it gets too cool before winter,
the moujiks may put over his
blouse a coat or vest, provided he
has one. Hut usually he goes by
the season and not by the tempera-ture.
In summer time it ought to be
hot, even if it is not. And conse-quently
he will work outdoors the
whole of a late day in August, and
I have seen it snow in Moscow in
August, with a cold rain failing
and wetting him to the skin with
out ever thinking of trying to keep
warm or dry. Similarly when win-ter
comes he will put on his sheep
akin and never think of taking it
off, though a day may come warm
enough to make him wet with per-spiration.
And he never takes
cold.
Five dollars will probably fully
cover all the money a Russian
workman spends on his clothes in
a year.
