Types of Russian Women.
Social Life in 8t. Petersburg and on the Country
Estates.
Nowhere do we find such types of wom-
-en as in Russia. It isa land of extremes,
and perhaps good and bad women are far-
ther apart than in other countries; bus in
none are there more noble women, giving
their lives and talents, often under terri-
ble difficulties, to solve the problems of
their time. There is the idle luxurious,
fascinating woman, full of seduction,
charm and ocaprice—a brilliant creature,
rich in social qualities, often highly edu-
cated and a horn diplomatist. Her opin-
ion is sought after by men, and she exer-
cises considerable influence in politics.
Such women live in a very luxurious way.
Nowhere is society more cosmopolitan
than in St. Petersburg, Splendid houses,
beautifully furnished, warm and flower-
scented in the freezing winters, rich furs,
Parisian toilets and exquisite cooking, all
help to make life pleasant, The tone of
society bas the character of being lax, even
as compared with the same set in other
capitals, and great ladies have a passion
for cards and for all sorts of gambling.
The country seat is visited for a few weeks
or months at the pleasantest time of the
year. The castle is fitted up in the Eng-
lish style, with all the comforts that
money can buy and a good supply of French
and English books. The great lady looks
after she hospital and school she has found-
ed, reads a good deal, pays formal visits to
the small proprietors and drives over to
see her friends at another castle 20 miles
off, where they exchange gossip about
their friends in St. Petersburg and Paris
and discuss European topics.
The other type is honest straightforward
and sensible, brave and energetic, as strong
insoul as in body. These are the women
with a mission, workers, people with
views and ideas. If of the upper ciasses,
they work hard on their own estates, sup-
porting schools, trying to train the peas-
antry in better methods, facing undaunted
the uphill task of influencing stolid and
ignorant beings. Numbers of the women
of the nobility manage the estates and
keep up the great houses to which they
belong, when the men of the family are
supine and given over to pleasure.
In no country do women show greater
devotion. In the famine two years ago
ladies traveled immense distances at their
own expense and lived amid terrible con- |.
ditions, organizing and saving life in a
large-hearted and capable way— raising
subscriptions, nursing the dying, persuad-
ing starving children to swallow aod ap-
pearing themselves to live without sleep
‘upon black bread and tea.
The daughters of the rich nobility are
educated at home, often hy two or three
accomplished and-highly paid governesses.
There are three classes of elementary
schools. In the government institutes,
which were first founded by Catherine 11,
class distinctions are strietly observed.
Some only receive the daugiters of the
hereditary nobility and of men of high
civil and military rank; others educate
girls from the lesser nobility, the daughters
of merchants and the clergy. The girls
remain from their sixth to their sixteenth
or seventeenth year, during which time
they see little of their own family. The
instructions given is very saperficial, and
they leave these enormous institutions
with very little practical preparations for
daily life. The zemstov, or local assembly,
has established a better class school for
the poor, and there remain the village
schools, which are under the priests and in
which the standard is very low
Secondary education is best served by
girls’ intermediate schools, which teach
languages, arithmetic and the rudiments
of science. These have now over 80,000
pupils and have done a great work among
the middle class girls. The next step isa
university education, and we find women
sustaining a heroic stroggle in their ef-
forts to attain this. For years past distin-
guished persons of hoth sexes have inter-
ested themselves in the intellecual life of
the country, and it is striking to learn the
number of young girls who have broken
loose from the mean and aimless life which
custom had prescribed for them.
When parents are unable or unwilling
to make an allowance girls go off to uni-
versity towns and contrive to eke out a
living, in teaching pupils and acting as ser-
vants in order to find means to pursue their
studies. Men stadents help then often,
coaching them for nothing and showing
the utmost sympathy. Numbers study
in foreign universities to escape the harass
ing regulations of the government. which,
however, at one time interfered with their
residence abroad, and ordered all to return
to Russia under pain of exile. After
some years permission to study abroad
was again granted, and by every sort of
shift, by sending correspondence to Amer-
ican papers and by living as working girls,
three or four in a room, they contrive to
support themselves.
Colleges for women in Russia have
with great effort been started from time to
time, and, whenever the government al-
lows it, are attended in large numbers,
and excellent courses are given by men
of science. Female medical schopls were
opened many years ago, and the splendid
work done by those who had studied in
them during the war with Tarkey in 1880
secured for them the full medical degree.
The Medical academy was closed when

most flourishing because a few of the
students were discovered to be implicated
in a political agitation, but the number
of students was not so great and such an
exodus followed to Paris, to Switzerland
and to Finland that the state was obliged
to reconsider its decision. A fresh scheme
was hampered with all sorts of restrictions
and the numbers limited, but the lady
doctors have grown so strong, their work
is so well known and highly valued, and
they are supported by such large subscrip-
tions, that the academy has been reopened.
Among the wild and scattered popula-
tion of Russia there is an inexhaustible
field for women as doctors and teachers.
It is the knowledge of this which has
disarmed the opposition to their going
through a university course. In 1897
Russia had 997 lady doctors, and the
number 1ncreases every year. In this pro-
fession they have made a distinguished
name and have disarmed prejudice, have
enormous practices in the great towns and
are largely employed by the municipali-
fies.
The post of instructresses to the gymnasia
are the most congenial careers open to
teachers and are fairly well paid. The
zemstvo schools offer the largest field of
work, but the lifejrequires great fortitude
and self-sacrifice. The schoolmistress is
liable to be cut off from the world all
through the long winter. She toils many
hours a day for a beggarly reward, lives
in a comfertless cahin and sees no books
or society, yet many girls take up this life
with genuine zeal.
Another drawhack is very common.
A great lady opens a school for her ex-serfs.
She chooses a teacher who has read and
thought and who throws herself into her
work. She is worshiped alike by children
and parents, but she is independent, she
does not treat the inspector with servile
deference, she avoids the often brutal
taxgatherer, she brooks her opinion of
tyranny and injustice, consequently she
is soon marked ‘‘suspect,’’ and the lady
is advised to remove her.
The universities and professions are
chiefly reinforced by the -daughters of
priests, doctors and other professional
men. The women of this class are often
very intelligent and fall of new ideas.
As a rule they are poor and have little
society. [n the much richer and trading
class the women learn little and read
nothing and are grossly saperstitions.
They are often good and kind, but dull,
with few advantages. However rich they
may be, they are never recognized by
Russian society.
——Although she is scarcely five years
old and has been brought up in an atmos-
phere of ultra-religions feeling, she is very
often quite naughty. Two maiden aunts
watch over her temporal and spiritual wel-
fare, and often take her to prayer-meeting
on Wednesday evenings, when her infan-
tile mind is duly impressed.: The other
day, in search of adventure, she began to
rummage a desk belonging to one of her
aunts. She was caught in the act, and a
severe reprimand followed. ‘‘See what
you have done!” exclaimed Auntie. ‘I
am strongly tempted to whip you!” With-
out an instant’s hesitation the tinv culprit
burst out with the good, old Methodist
hymn:
‘‘Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin.”
The threatened whipping was indefinite-
ly postponed.

Y ose OF APPETITE.
Is loss of vitality, vigor or tone, and is
often a precursor of prostrating sickness.
This is why it is serious, and most seri-
ous to people that must keep up and do-
ing or get behindhand.
The best thing you can do for loss of
appetite is to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and Pills—they will make you ready to
eat, give a relish to your food, and assist
in its digestion.
This statement is confirmed by the
largest volume of voluntary testimony in
the world.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Pills cure in-
digestion, dyspepsia, all stomach tronb-
les, and build up the whole system.
