Moscow , Aug. 1. [ Socclal Correspondence -
once of TUB BEE. ] First the famlno unit
now the cholorn have brouptit to the alton-
tloii of ttio world ono of the least laiown and
nt the saino ttmo ono of the strongoU elements -
monts of the Hussion population. The Uus-
Rlan peasant * nro typical of the ono-sovctith
of the world which they owu. The great
iiusslun oraplro Is pocked full of undeveloped
resources. The czar htmsolf tins no Idea of
the wealth of his country. Millions upon
millions of ncrai of It have never boon
louctiod by the plow , nnd huudrods upon
hundreds of thousands of Us square miles
bavo never boon prospected. It has gold
regions as rich as any In the world which
have never been worked with modern raining
machinery , and Its vast mining and copper
regions produce tfio llnusl metals of this
kind known to man. Itn oil regions have for
along time hooii competing with these of the
United States , and Husslun oil has lorgely
I driven us out oJ the marlioU of Asia.
It has all sorts of precious stones , and as
to its agricultural possibilities these are far
greater than .those of any country in the
world. There are millions of square miles
of the best of wheat linul In Siberia and
Asiatic Russia which have never been
touched by thn plow , and of the vast grain
regions of European Uusslaonly a small part
is uiulor cultivation. Sucli lands as are oul-
tlvatod are farmed nftur the rudest methods ,
nnd as It Is , In ordinary seasons , Kussl.i Is
the greatest groin exporting country of the
world , surpassing oven the United States In
this regard.
The bulk of this great wealth of Russia Is
| now lying dormant. Like the stooping prin
cess In the fairy tale , It only waits the kiss
of capital and labor to bring it Into lifo , and
no ono OIHI toll how soon thojn giants ot
material progress will gird up their loins
aud moisten their lips to kiss thu sleeping
maiden. Russia has In her own territories
the labor necessary for the work , and if this
was used aright there would bo no land so
rich upon the face of the earth today.
Admiral I'ortor once told mo that at a fair
oslimati every man and woman In a country
was worth $301) ) as ono of the elements of that
country's wealth. At this rate thu peas
antry of Russia are worth thirty billions of
h dollars to Knsbln , and when cnco waked up
I , to their possibilities they will niaka the Hus-
| man oraplto Jump us lliough it had on the
| lovcii-lenRUo boots of modern progress. As
L It Is , however , the peasantry of Russia are
r _ _ moro asleep than Russia's ' material resources.
I ] I am impressed every day moro and moro as
r 1 I go among thorn of their wonderful work-
j | Ing powers and their dormant possibilities.
' They are the wonder among the laborers of
the world. Surrounded by the wealth of
I Uranus , endowed with the muscles of Hercules -
culos , born with the germs of man's ' best in-
I tolllgonco , they live , labor nnd die without
knowing thai ? power or appreciating ttio fact
I that they might bo belter and richer than
I they aro. Simple and ignorant , these ono
I hundred millions of lronir , able-bodied , well-
I developed puoplo arc Intellectually asloop.
I They aru men with the minds of children ,
li vrho under u different system would quickly
I develop into as Intelligent workers and as
I , flood citizens us our best Americans.
Vlotv of li HilHKluil Village.
I i Peasant Russia Is by far the , most Interest
ing feature of modern Russia today. The
I peasants are In fact the Russia of today , and
I their 500,000 villages maku up , as 1 have said
before , this crual Russian empire. All of
I tboso villages are alike , and when you have
I visited ono Russian village you have to a
I rrent extent seen the whole Russian empire.
I M'lio Russian peasant never has a homo out-
I tide of n vilngo. Ho is u social animal , and
I in the thousands of miles which I have trov-
I clod througu the dlfleroni. ports of European
I Russia during the past few weeks I have not
I RUUII a single house standing by itself in thu
I Holds. In looking over a Russian landscape
I you see no fences iimrklng off thn farms as
I you do in America. There are no hank barns
1 nor stray hnyslucks keeping sentinel watch ,
I us It were , over the Holds , nnd the lone farm-
I liouso on tbo western prairies of America ,
I hoparntcd by miles from any similar hablta-
I tton , is absent. You sea no ono working
I nlono In the tields without It be lioro and
I there a shepherd or a short-skirled maiden
I ' watching Ihu caltlu. The people work in
I cangti of frou , half a dozen to 1UO , and their
I tlfo In their villages and In the fields Is a so-
I clal ono. The common interest which they
I have In the lands belonging to the vlllaqo
I ties thorn together In other ways end they
I nro morn closely associated with ono another
I , than any other people of the world.
I I have visited many of these villages
I within thu past month. Lot mo loll you how
I they look. Riding through the country on
I the railroad you see scattered over the land-
I ecupo what in the distance looks like two
I rows of low.oblonghnystuoksruuulngirrogu-
I Inrly for a mllu or so In ono.dlrecllon. Bach
I of these collfolloim of hayHlacki Is a Russian
I Village , and when you got closer to it you
I1 pee ttittt what you supposed were haystacks
I are thatched huts , and that the lower pan of
I each stack is made of logs , sun-dried brick or
I wattled twigs. You now nolu that the wide
I road along which these huts stand Is full of
I half naked rabies , squiilling children and all
I the queer characteristics of Russian peasant
I life. The ordinary village has but ono road-
I way , and thlt U more like n road cut through
I the fields than an American struct. It 1 %
I renerally about 100 or moro foul wide , and
I Ihu houses stand along it nt all angles nnd
I With no regularity or order , Tnoro nro no
I gardens in front of thorn nor behind llio.n.
I They havu no trout yards fenced off from
h thu road und I have notyat icon any sign of
I u sidewalk of any Kind In any village-1 have
I' ' visited. The street ls not puvcd and only
I" purl free from grass In the center , where
I tbo wagon ? hava cut rum Into thu black soil ,
I 'i'ho romninder is a lawn of good solid turf ,
I on which the cuttlo grnzu , the dogs and the
I ' children play and upon which the people
li moot in the evening to gossip and
I chat. Now nnd then you llnd u tree
I' ' or so on ono of these village streets , and
I ; under the o on the ground thcro may bo n
I ; woman with her babies about her nnd with
llj pther babies tlod to the branches ot the trees
If In the oblong shallow boxes which ronstl-
If lute the cradles of Russia. Other women
I may bo Bitting ubout nplniilug or sowing ,
I : mid on tbo steps of the huts or In the door-
I' ' ways you will BOO old men und shock-halrod

\ There It llttlo dllToroncn in the houses of a
I Uuisian vlllttuc. They are all of ono story
I nna the nvorugo hut li not were than twenty
I leot tquaro. Its log walls are about eight
I ; foot troui the ground ut the top whuro they
I meet the ridge roof of brown lunieb ,
I ! . mid tblc tbutch Is of straw and is
li tfton elghtuon inches thick. It Is put on

If during the past winter u uroat many of the
| i Abuii * were unroofed to giva thlt straw
li ibaUiti to llio starving cattle and horaoi , I
| i uv * in ( be famine districts muny huts which
| | riKie covered with buro poles , and lit wbloh
| j ih < jfpoof > iviiru > ib.oUcrcd today only by the
board colling which runs across thcsa walls
of logs forming the Moor of the loft of the
huts. The average Russian hut has ono door
nnd tw.o llttlo windows ut tbo front , with
sometimes a second window In the rear. The
front door In much llko n rude stable door ,
such as Is sometime * knocked up by our
farmers , nnd It leads notinto the living room
of the hut , but Into llttlo store room or sort
of vestibule which forms ono end of the
cabin.
This room li usually without any Mooring
but that of the ground. You may sco the
clilcuens or other animals belonging to the
family In U , and sonio of the fnrml'ig tools of
the establishment stand nbout Its walls. In
the center of ono sldo of It Is u door ranched
by OUR or two low steps and leading into the
haueo proper and forming the entrance to
the room , that Is In fact Uio only room in the
cabin , nnd which may bo called the Russian
peasant's homo. In it the family sleep , cook ,
cat and llvo , nnd when It is remembered
that fully hulf the year In Russia Is nmdo'up
of the bluer winter , when the days ere short
and the nights long , it will bo boon that the
greater part or tno peasant's existence is
passed horn.
Lot mo describe for you a living room of
this Kind which I visited In n village nour
I'otrofTskol in tbo midst of the great black
plain of Russia , where the land Is us rich as
the valley of the Nile and whore the farmer
should llvo us well as iinywhuroln the world ,
for bo U working on the world's richest
lands. This hut of which I speak Is that of
n woll-to-do peasant. It Is If anything better
than thu average. Its living room was not
more than ton by twelve teet In sizo.and ono-
fourth of this s'pnco was taken UP by the
great chimney , which formed the oven , the
cooking slovo' and the healing arrangement
of the hut. This chlmnoy was fully BIX feet
wldu and about eight root long , and Its front ,
In whlcn were holes for fuel nnd an even ,
rose from the floor to the colling.
In the side facing the room , leaving about
two feet for the chimney , thorn was cut out
under the celling a ledge nbout thrco feet
high and of the depth of thostovo. This
was In fact the top of the stove , nnd it
formed , 1 was told , ttio bed of the family In
the winter tlmo. This family Included sev
eral mnrrio.'I sons und daughters , and It hod
In addition to the old folks about twclvo
children and grandchildren. In seine way
or another thov all paclied themselves In on
this ledge at nleht , nnd they huddled
together upon the log Iloor below in the duy
lime. The whole space In the room was not
much larger than tnat of n six-room liouso
occupied by nn American day laborer , and
Its furniture consisted of four rude stoves ,
sumo bunches which run around the waltn
and a rudu table , on which the fnmily ute
their meals. Tboro wcro no pictures on the
wall und no plaster or paper. In one corner
hung a rude painting of the Virgin , with a
llttlo candle burning before It , nd I noted
that while I was present ono of the girls
looked at this and crossed herself. On ono
of the benches lay a sheepskin coat , end I
saw one garment hanging from the wall. If
there were any other clothes belonging to
thu Irmily they mav hnvn boon stored In a
box , which 1 saw fn the room outsidu , but
they were not in sight.
\Vlint rimy Wimr.
The Russian noauini requires but a small
wardrobe. Ho puts on ono suit und wears It
out , slicking to It night nnd day. Neither
box has any use for niBhlshirts nnd all the
family sloop In the same clothes that they
wear In the day tlmo. Thov know nothing
of bed clothing or of the luxury of clean
sheets and soft pillows nnd they'sloop moro
line aliccp than Ilka uion. YOUHK girls nnd
yonnc men , married and single , babies and
grandmothers , all crowd in together , and
the animal heat of tbo whole added to that of
the stovu must glvo thorn warmth. Their
winter clothing is made up largely of sheep-
sulns , with llio wool turned inward , und the
people seem to stand the heat nnd cold
equally well. Their clothes cost tboni but
little. Tbo men wear calico pantaloons in
Ihu summer aud they have led calico shirts ,
which they wonr outsldo of their pantaloons.
The latter nro held up by a string around
the waist and often turned In at the legs
below the nnoe , being wrapped about with
the rags which form the stocKingsof peasant
Russia. These rags are wrapped utio'ut the
feet and over the an It IDS and nrouud the
lower part of the calves. If the Russian is
rich 01 ough ho pulls u pair of high
boots over thorn , and Into the lops of
these ho stutls his pantaloons. If ho
Is poor , us is the casu with nino'.y-nino-lum-
drodlh.s of his kind , ho wears loll boots in
the wiutnr nnd low slippers In the summer.
Those slippers are of woven gnus or burk.
They aru iimdo without heels nnd are worn
by all. The peasant girls , in fact , wear thu
same kind of footgear ub thu boys , aim the
bellu of ono of the Russian villages never
knows iho dellgbl of barber polo Blockings
and her garters do not cost her a quarter In
a lifetime.
Neither sex wears any underclothing , and
a great stop will have been made when you
con muko these people believe that such
items us drawers and undershirts are among
the absolute necessities of llio. As it is ,
their needs are so small that they have not
'
the incentives to work to satlsf.v'thoui that
wo have , and a man's whole summer out lit
would nut cost as much us an American
farmer upends for a coat. Their headgear Is
as cheap as the rest of their clothes , and the
men all wear caps when they wear any
thing and Ibo women Ho up their bunds In
bright colored handkerchiefs , fastening these
by knotting them under thu chin. No Rus
sian peasant girl over dreams of buying or
wearing corsets or stays and her entire ont-
llt at this tlmo of tbo year consists of this
handkerchief for her head , a Mother Hub-
bard gown of while cotton or red or blue
calico whlcQ roaches almost to bar ankles ,
and an apron which Is gathered in and cut
low at the neck and whlun fulls to below her
knees , sometimes being belted in ut tbo
waist and sometimes loft to fall over her lull
bust without being so tied. In addition to
those who ban rag stockings reaching to tbo
tops of her calves and a pair of bark shoos.
In many cases BUO dispenses with the belt ,
apron und the shoes , uiu1 as she tucks up her
dross rather high wbilo nt work you bavo
constantly boforu you horu in the lields the
pictures of a comio variety show without the
relief of lights or the buld-hcaded bachelors
under the footlights.

jQ This habit of wearing the sumo clothes
duy nnd night and the lack of underclothing
would naturally make you think that the
Russians must bo llio illrtiost of races. I do
not Jlnd them so , and it ttouins to tno that
they have been greatly slandered in regard
to their unclnanliness. How they iicop
tbemsolvoi so 1 oauno : see , but they ore not
half so dirty as the Chinese , and thov will
rank In cleanliness with the other very poor
people of Iho world. They do not wash us
often us wo do , but when they do wash they
make a business of it , and clean themselves
with the lamous Russian bath. No man or
woman who does not take cither u Turkish
or Russian bath now and then over got )
clean. The pores of one's body uro iho sewers
of Iho system , and the ordinary soap scrub
bing which most people call washing only
touches tno i oulhs of these und does not
reach the Interior of the million odd sewer
pipes 01 the system ul all. Thu only way to
clean these Is by copious perspiration con
tinued for somn tlmo , und this result is ob
tained by the Russian hath. These poopio
boil themselves at least once u week
in stoani lo hring about tills rusult , und if
they cantut got iho steam they crawl into
their ovens and sweat it out. Nearly every
village bus u steam buthhou o , and the whole
population turns" out every Saturday and
boforu every holy communion , con
fession or fast day and for the
time becomes bodily clean. I urn
told that in iho villages both sexes go Into
the bath nt thu same tlmo und that the men
nnil womenboys and girls , all bathu together.
It Is said that no other person but a Russian
could Aland the cxporiunco of onuof tbaao
vapor buths such as uro taken In the sumo
oven In which the family bakes Us broad ,
and I am sure no other pnrsou would euro lo
utilize the tmkoovon for this purpose. 1 hear
Unit In the winter the peasants sometimci
rush naked out from the hot bath nod roll in
the siiou- , and this 1 can conceive to bu pos-
blbU' , for In Iho country villages of Japan n
man will como out naked from the hot bath
Into the cold wiutor air und wulk homo with
his clutht-s under his arm.
Of course villages of this nature bavo no
sanitary u.'rnngummiU whatever. Tboro nro
no siicct lumps or water works und iho wo
men of 'tho family druw the water from iho
well of the town or carry it from the nearest
stream. No Russian girl of such u peasant
village over noes a washboard nor has any
Idous of washing machines or palont
wringers. She does not oven know what a
wanhtub U and the clothes of the family uro
carried by her to the nearest stream and
Btnndlng In her biro logs In iho water she
pounds the dirt out of them with n club.
Thu culinary arrangements uro qulto as *
primiilvo und cooking has not the terror for
iho Russian woman that It has for the
American. In Ibo ilrst pluco there is little
to cook und the mulhodn of cooking uro very
fow. There are practically no dishes to
wnnh und as to labl * linen und napkins they
are uiihcaid of and unknown. Tbo dining
table in easily sot for dinner. Thi > mulu UUU
Is soup nnd this Is furnlshnd in a wooden
bowl M big around as n washbasin and
and about the length of n linger in depth.
The family sit around on benches nnd chairs
onch with u big wooden spoon , which will
hold twlco ns much ns ono of our table
spoons , In his hand * and with these ho dips
out the soup from the common dish nnd
curries it to hU mouth.

There nro no knives nnd forks to bo soon
on t.io tublo and plates utid cups nnd saucers

stoi tlit-ouch onoof her villages on thoTolslol
estate at Yusnla t'olyaua , und In ono of tbo
houses which wo visited wo found Iho fnmily
nt dinner. The countess told mo that this
was ono of the rlchojt families of peasants
she had on her estate , and what do you
think was their menu ) It was cabbage soup
nnd rye broad. The family were sitting
around the table nnd there were nbout ton
of Mujm in all. Each had ono of tboso
wooden spoons and they were scooping out
the son ) ) at a great ralo , Tnoy had no but
ter nnd no moat , nnd the Russian peasants
sco but llttlo of either.Thoy nro hoppy If
"
they got n bit of moat once a week , and "thoir
chief diet is cabbage soup and rye broad ,
with a sort of a buckwheat mush as a
change. They have milk from their cows
und eggs from their hens , nnd their favorlto
drink Is n sort of boor which they make
from black broad called kvas. They nro
vorv rigid ns to fast days nnd they cat now
nnd then a bit of dry list ) , wlnuh Is cheap in
Russia. They are fond ot sour cabbage nnd
cucumbers and they oat their cuoumbors
raw with the skins on. But they hnvo
no Idea of what wo would call garden
stuff , nnd In the famlno parts of Russia ,
where the poopio nro still being larcoly sup
ported by charity , there uro vast quantities
of greens going to wnsto which would boused
irreedlly in any otbnr part of Eurooo or In
thu United States. In iho black plain which
I have doscrlbud as the garden of Russia ,
and as the most fortllo part of Europe , I vis
ited n village where I found the bakcovtm of
n largo landed proprietor going night and
day baking American cornmeal and Hour
Into broad for the poopio. There were nun-
drods of loaves of this black bread In the
ovens , and the villagers oalno every day to
got food. Still , In driving over the Holds to
this place I saw grcut quantities of woods
which wo use for our tables in the shape of
salads und vegetables going to waste , and
such things as green peas nnd the hundreds
of other vegetables which wo raise , thcso
peasants don't cat. Their only vegetable out
sldo of cabbages nnd cucumbers seems to bo
potatoes , nnd , as to forming , they ralso the
same crops from the same seed vonr after

THIS
"Tho Ensign" will bo the attraction at
Boyd's Now theater for three nights com
mencing Sunday , August ! ! 1. It comes to
this city with n very strong endorsement.
It is n nautical play with a plot that hinges
upon thu Mason nnd Slidoll affair of 1SG1
und around which is woven a love story with
some vigorous dashes of patriotism , a little
villainy and n good deal or healthful senti
ment and pathos. Oto of the main features
of the production is the scenery , said to bo
unusually lino. There nro five scones , two
of which illustrate- lifo on board a man-ot-
war nnd are said to bo as true a representa
tion as It la possible to obtain upon the
staco. Ono sol shows tun interior of n war
vessel with the gun and main deoKs just as
they are on a real man-of-war. The time of
the action is coincident with that episode of
the rebellion known us the Trent affair
and the plot grows out of the
attempt/of a-onogmlo American serving as
a lieutenant in the Hritlsh navy to prevent
the arrest of Messrs. Mason and Slidull , tbe
confederate commiisionors. The first act oc
curs In Havana , and lilytho , the renegade ,
who has been Instructed by his superiors to
dutam the San Jacinto in port long enough
to allow the Trent to got away with the com
missioners , insults an American oUlcer , hop-
intr thus to Involve him and his crew in on
infraction of the Cuban laws , thus causing
their arrest und the consequent delay of iho
United Stales frignlo. The American ofll-
cor tins been forewarned , ho-.vovor , and for
his country's sakn submits to tbo aspor.sion
of his sweetheart's character , although with
difficulty HUpnro < Mlng his Indignation. Ho
keeps his Indignation uutll the roncgado turns
suddenly nnd tfnr.i down and tramples upon
Ihu American Hag , uttering as ho docs so a
curse upon the "d d rag , " ns ho calls it.
The swords of the two men are out in-
Hlnnlly , nn old coxswain bounds In and , ro-

Tbo reign of fnrco comedy In this country
Is u source of much discussion among tno
thouRhttul workers and writers of the

however much the dramatic writers may deplore -
ploro the present condition of thu American
stage , the great muss of ihonier-gocrs appear
lo bu very much in favor of thu performance
that is light , plotloss , orient , full of mu ic ,

Mr. Hussoll of Werner's Voice Magazine ,
makes the following btnlomont concerning
thu ndvu.ibility of American girls going
abroad to study : ' 'Ashlu from the question
of teachers. Paris student Ufa Is somewhat
hazardous for American girls , No American
never having boon In Puns can fully under
stand the houlimeut of u Frenchman toward
women. It is said openly in Pans that no
position of any value held by women through
favor of men Is gained ut n loss cost than
personal honor. Favors in the musical pro
fession nro nt the same cost , und scandal Is
nttnchod lo nil the names known in the
opera , except , perhaps , it few of grout abil
ity , whose voices aud artistic power. * put
them out of the roach of schemers. No.
woman of comely uppenranco Is free from
open Insult in thosircots , for the men of the
city cousidor it u legitimate pastime to ruin
women. This peculiar condition of ethics
makes Paris a place of a Dodo full of suporjl-
olnl delights , which are ut once attractive to
the American youth ; but the American girl
alone in Paris , who Indulges In u bit of inuo-
cent tlirtulioii with a linmUomo , black-oyod
Frenchman , IImU that n llirlulion in Paris
with a Frenchman Is'h matlor qulio differ-
out from what her Innocent American heart
Imagined. "
The Now York , Sun takes sonio of the
glamor from the Btiijjo by a severe uriiclo of
which llio following is an extract : "Thoro
is not a girl ut work hi u factory nor a girl
behind , the counter who is not assured in her
position of moro ro'tncctful trnatmont from
her employer or representative than the girl
01 : the ulace. This is not n question of
morals , hut manners. , That there nro theater
and bingo manager * , , nprt dramatic agents to
whoso manners this , .statement is not per
tinent scarcely ullqqls tno case , The per
sonal Indignities to , ] whlon woman on llio
singe nro subjeclod..Ia/ts / daily routine would
not bo tolerated by women In uuy olhor busi
ness or profession ! A woman , it seems ,
makes uufllcicnt concessions wbori sha con-
senU to DO sworn 'at/'in eanerul lorms. To
bo ningled out by < opprobrious names , lo bo
buxllod , to bo riulCIv laid hands on , to be
propallecl ungrily by shoulder and arm , is de
manding too much of self-rospoot. This is
the sort of treatment that women an the
alugo uro liable to , and o great is Its compe
tition that they patlontly endure It. * *
Of minor manner * there uro none , according
to the standard of the world outside. Stugo
oilquollo is a law unto Itself. There are many
women who , If they could huvo realized the
personal Indignities they would bo subject teen
on the Blade , would never hnvo sot foot
thero. From the danger to her morals on
the atagn a woaioa can protect herself , Sha
defense - its - * *
has no m-alnst manner *
If Iho stones of Hroadway , from Twenty'
third street to ThlrtS'-thlrd street , could cry
out Ihoso hot summer days nnd toll their
siory of false hopes , of mental anguish , of
physical Buffering , of temptation und do-
spulr thut proceed dlrootlv out of tbo busl-
uust relations of untors and managers , there
would be no tale tnoro pltoous In a season of
huart-wrliiiilug tulos. "
