Greatly surprised, 1 turned to a
Itussian friend and said: "Can that
be allowed? 'Those men will be kill-

She merely shrugged her shoulders
and said: "i•:ven so: it is the will of
God."
They are such fatalists. '"I'Iw'

Such a little episode as this does

I asked the housoutaid what it

girl to come with rue.

The girl was utterly horrified when

They are crying nut for a Consti.

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

thing given to them.

WHITE MEN TAKE RISKS
TRADING WITH CANNIBALS IN
SOLOMON ISLANDS.
Traders in Constant Danger

The Solomon Islands lie east of
New Guinea. The two northern is-
lands belong to Germany and the
others to Great Britain. Neither
country has (Ione anything to de-
velop theme. The interior of the is-
lands is u:utost unknown. The reason
is that rho natives are extremely
