Greatly surprised, 1 turned to a Itussian friend and said: "Can that be allowed? 'Those men will be kill- ed by the tinseling. vehicles." She merely shrugged her shoulders and said: "i•:ven so: it is the will of God." They are such fatalists. '"I'Iw' will of God" le always their cry.

They are crying nut for a Consti. tution, but they do not understand the very meaning of the word. Largely owing to their unsanitary habits, the population increases very slowly, for the children die off. All over Russia from thirty-five to forty per cent of infants perish. The Gov- ernment are trying to comfort this terrible evil, but the people are so cunservatite that they have a diffi- cult task. The Russians are, as a rule. very unoriginal. Like the people of the 1•:nst, they can copy exactly any- thing given to them. A friend of mine hail an English lamp which went out of order. She brought it to a lamp shop anei or- dered another.
