This garden was cut up by long , wide and
well shaded walks , and tnoio walks were
lillod with the nurses ana their babies.
A Tlioiisniici Foatur Mother * .
Each baby 1ms her own wet nurse , and
along each walk were two lines of those
nurses , each with a baby at her breast , and
thn whole carden wai lllled with such bights ,
Thcro were hundreds upon hundreds of
those nurses buxom younc peasant girls of
10 rears old nnd upward ] , all urassud In their
best clothes , for it was Sunday afternoon ,
and all wearing the picturesque cans of the
Institution. These caps are nurses' caps of
blue , grotitt or red , which arj as lull
as Turn O'bhantor caps at the top ,
but which lit tight about the fore
head , and which arn sut rather on
the back of the head , so as not to hldo the
forehead. The dresses of these hundreds of
maiden nuraos are cut low at Uio nook , and
standing mono end of ono of those walks you
look along a line of 800 white neuks shining
out under tnoso bright cups , ana bordered by
whltoyokus from which full pawns fall so as
to show the swelling of those . ' 503 busts. Half
of tbo girls have babies smutting milk from
their milk-whlto breasts , and the other half
have llttlu swaddled Infunts who have had
their 11111 and uro taking a rest or sleeping hi
their nurses' arm' . Atllrst you cannot no
tice the dresses for the Interest you mko In
the nurses and babies and their feeding , but
us you grow used to this you note that each
girl's dross Is much the same. Tim sleeves ,
full at the shoulders , uro short , and leave the
arms bare to the bleeps. 'lho wuUts'aro full
and half open at the Iront , and thp sklrti ,
gathered In at the waist , ura short , und do
not reach to tbo ankles. The caps are of dif
ferent colors , but of Uiosuma shape , and the
glrlsMro of uil types of Husilan beauty nnd
homeliness. Hundreds of them are ulondos ,
and tbo llaxcd-lmlrcd , blue-eyed beauties ol
the northern provinces are wol | represented.
Hundreds have the rosy checks that you find
ulonir the Neva nud upper Volga , aiid hero
und there you 100 the dark eyes und brunette
fatoi whluh are ( ouud tanner south. As I
stood upon tbo btops , at ono end of the garden -
don , I could see full1,000 of those girls In
the gnruon below mo. Think of 111 A
thousand Kusslan Madonnas not In oil or
water colors , but in living , glonlnc Jlcsh nnd
blood onch doing the Madonna uut In earn
est and in truth ; 1,000 babies performing
their part In the pictura ; and all this under
ono of the brightest skies and In ono of tbo
prettiest garden ? of the world. It was , In
truth , a sight worth coming to Kussm to sue.

As wo walkofl through tbo garden tbn
nunos saluted us. The young matron bowed
to them nud wo raised our bats as wo entered
ono of tbo walks , and at that moment the
.1,000 red and blue cups bowed down to us.
The girls bow from thu waist und not with a
nod of the head , us wo do. They are not
ashamed of their business , und the ; hold up
their cables for us to look at tu wo pass. The
nurses seem to bo fond of their babloi , and I
would llko to show it I caa Just bow ono of
tbuko Husfttnn bablos is cared for , Dehtud
each nurse alone tliqso walks stood n lltllu

any baby cribs you have over seen. They
stand on Iron logs , but they uro not as big as
Iho avoruga family clothes basket , and tboy
uro about two foot wide , tbreo foot long and
two feet deep. Kach baby has a crib to
itsolt , and there were , I was told , 1,800 cribs
standing In the garaon m the tltr.o I vUlted
it. In some of the cribs babies were lying.
They rested on soft mattresses with their
llltlo heads , many of wblcb seemed to mo no

1,000 babies all under four weeks old who
would inulto less noise than these 1,0'JO odd
Russian babies were making.
Hero nnd there about the grounds I noted
tables on which the babies were laid when
their nurses wished to re.imuiK'o their toilets ,
and I noted how carefully the little ones were
handled. The tables , which were about four
feet square , bud padded lops , and as I saw
the dressing going on I looked In vain for
safety pins and the other little tortures which
I have seen in American baby dressing. The
baby is wrapuod around in saftllnen clothes ,
lib logs being close together nnd its llltlo red
body swaddled up till it looks for all the
world llko a big rag baby , with the exception
of where Its llttlo red face and Its bright
eyes peep out of tbo whlto linen. As 1 looked
at this baby oelng dressed I asked tbo young
matron if they had any "bottlo babies or tbo
grounds and if some of the bibles were not
brought up by hand. " A look of horror and
dlsgubt came over her face , nnd she re
plied that tucy did not consider such methods
of baby farming good or right , and that each
baby had its own uurso. She bad appar
ently never hoard of our patent baby foods ,
and tbo pretty faces of the bottle babioi
which appear as tbo result of particular com
binations in our magazine advertisements
would surprise her. The Russian babies of
this institution kuow nothing of "ono cow's
mllii , " ot "Gall Hordcn'rf eagle brand" or
barley water , and tboy got through tholr In
fancy without being experimented upon by
doctors and parents.
Sclunllllo llaliy Inciilmtinn.
A great part of the establishment is on ibo
cottage plan. Tbo babies sleep on the ground
door and at tbo end of ouch nurse's bed
stands one of the little cribs. They are never
allowed to sleep with tboir nurses and the
greatest care is taken that all of the sur
roundings should bo healthy. Tno rooms uro
well ventilated and tboro uro von ins in which
prematurely born babloj are kept , which are ,
us it were , incubating rooms. These are
boated by steam and are kept at what. I
Judge is about 70 = . It Is thu anmo with the
hospital proper , nnd the babies are taken to
cooler nnd cooler rooms UK they recover from
sickness. In the Incubating rooms I saw a
score or so of babies in copper tubs so inudo
that hot water running around their double
walls kept the interior at almost blood heat.
In thcso were babies born two or thrco
months before their time. These were
wrapped In cotton and they baldly seemed
alivfc. but I could note the quivering of tholr
eyelid * as tbo matron opened the glass tops
of the tubs. The most of such cases are , I
am told , successful , and I Judge that if a
baby bus any chance for existence when she
comes here she live * . The b.ihics are washed
once a day In bathtubs of copper , and I noted
that in Iho bottom 'of each tub there was a
pillow on which the baby was placed and
that its sides were padded with soft tluunol.
About 11 fly now bubioi uro received on the
average by this Institution every day , nnd all
babies uro taken and no questions usltea.
They uro sometimes loft on the steps of the
institution , but more often uro brought by
their mothers or some friend. If the mother
has a name tor tbo child sbo writes It on a
card and this name U given it , und at the
sumo ilmo It is registered with a number and
a corresponding number Is given to the
mother , Tnls number in written on a llttlo
round tag of bono , and It Is tied around the
neck of the child , and bv this numuor It goes
In the Institution , If the mother wants it
ugaln she can bring back her check and gat
her baby , nud she can claim it ut uuv tlmo
up to the ago of ten years.
IVlKlitfiil Infant Mortality.
Tbo bablos arc kept In thU Institution only
four wosks , and after this tlmo the nurses
who are In charge of them take them to their
homos In the villages and there bring them
up. Each nunto gets tl n month for such
turvlco , and shu U under the supervision of
the doctor of tbo district and bus to report
her baby to him from time to time. At the
ugo of about blx years the children are
brought back to tbo Institution and are edu
cated. They are taughttrados and at twelve
go out to work for thomsolvos. Homo of the
jrlrls are taken back ei ofllcor * and tboy arc
trained as hospital nurses. Mauy of too
boys go into the army and there are 160
of tbom annually admitted to the in-
Cloak Department.

gether foundlings are bettor treated In. Rus
sia than in any other country In the world.
Their treatment. However , uftor they are
sent out Into the villages to bo nursed is not
so good as it is here , und the statistics show
thai fully half of all iheao babies die before
tboy ate a yunr old , and the science of baby
raising over the whole of Hussia is in such a
backward state that one-fourth of nil tbo ba
bies born In the umpirodlo before the ; nro
twelve months of ngoFortytwo per cent
din befoio they are llyo years old , and still
the yearly cron of children is so great that
the population of Russia , accord ing to the
stallhtics of the Statesman's Year BooIs ) Increasing -
creasing at the rate ot 2WOOOJ ( u year. In
European Russia alone there are every year
1.(100,003 ( moro babies ; than thcro were the
year before , und moro thun1,000,001) ) bablos
uro born hero every year. Russia has a high
death rate , but those peasants breed llko
Australian rabbits und they llko largo fami
lies. Nearly every woman you see in tbo
country has a baby at her breast and towheaded -
headed young ones of all ages swurm in the
villages. ' „
The most of these bablos of Moscow como
from the citv nnd the most of them are ille
gitimate. Thcro are 10 per cent moro illegiti
mate births in Moscow than tbero are in Paris ,
butit Is said that thcro Is llltlo or no Infanti
cide hero nnd the probability is the statistics
of Paris do not represent tnotruo social state
of that city in this regard. I nm told that
mothers often bring tholr babies to this Insti
tution und afterwards.apply to Iho establish
ment fo- places as wet nurses nnd thus manage -
ago to got hold of tbnlr own baulos and got
paid f r feeding them.
At llm Itvccijit of Children.
I watched the bringing I of the babies
nnd saw a number sent into the country.
The receiving room wai about twenty feet
square nnd in the center of ono side of it , be
hind a low table , sat an Intelligent Russian
girl with a Icdzor before her. At ono side of
her was u ualr of liirgu scales , fur all tbo
world llko n pair of grocer's scales in which
sugar Is weighedand boforobcr stood another
of the matrons with a tiipo mcasura thrown
over her HUouldor , yAs'l stood In Iho room I
look out ray watch and timed the taking
in of * a half dozen bablos. Tlieso
were brought in witliln twenty minutes
and it did not take more than tbreo minutes
at the outside to register , wash and take
euro of each of them. 1'tjeir mothers , I sup
pose , brought the bablas In. Ono was a
pretty Russian poasprft , rl , who cnmo In
bur bare feet with a uupdlo in her arms. She
look this to tbo ublo | jaud bunaed anlip of
paper on which was vyrjtten thu name of the
baby to the bookkeeper' . ' Sbo was asked
the aato of its birth und , was then given a
check with a number 'on ' It , and bcr baby
was handed ever to .tho girl with the tape

measured its length- , from crown to solo.
These llvurcs were put down ana the Infant
