Cleanliness for Sunday.
rrotiably nine out of ten persons
who have traveled In Ku.ssls, If nsfkod
to describe the Russian home would
epoak first of the loR-house of the
Russian vlllano. Nlnu-tenths of Hna
sla'g population llvo In vlllaKos. The
log house Is the nioRt truly roprcson
tatlve habitation in KiiBcla.
Sunk a fow foot below the level of
the ground, it faces the village street.
Even in the newly settled agricultural
communities In Siberia now a land of
promise to the Russians the Isolated
farmhouse, a mile, perhaps, from
nolghbors, Is unknown. The farmers'
bouses are all In a village facing a
single village street. The houses nre
rough and unpalnted. Even the pros
perous farmer does not abandon hla
log house. His door and window
frames may be painted in whlto, or
green, If he is well-to-do, but that Is
the only outward display he makes.
Tho logs that compose the house are
always peeled, and generally hewn;
and the chinks are filled in winter
with plaster or moss. The street In
front is unpaved, and often In spring
very muddy. Hehlnd the house Is a
Barden, where flowers and vegetables
are raised In the hot Russian sum
mer, which Is very much like the sum
mer In New England.
The Russian housewife Is generally
fond of flowers, and fills the windows
of her dwelling with them. As the
Russian house Is always kept warm,
the plants afford In winter a fresh
and delightful contrast to the whlto
cold of the snow-covered country and
the Icy village street.
The poorer Russian log house has
but one room, as a rule, which con
tains a bed. a bench running half
way round the room, cupboard and
shelves, and by far the most Impor
tant article of furniture, a great brick
stove, surmounted by a capacious
oven.
The stove and oven are there no
matter how meager the other furnish
ings. In the long winter the Rus
sian keops his house very warm, and
all the year round he uses the oven
once a week for taking a bath.
The Russian bath is familiar In
principle to all the world. Steam Is
Its base. The Russian at home geta
up a good Are In his stove on Satur
day, and gets Into the oven for his
weekly steaming. The heat would
suffocate any other man, but he finds
it very comforting. When dripping
and as red as a lobster, he gets out
and rubs down with snow, or If he Is
robust rolls In a snowbank.
This process purifies him for Sun
day, as he believes he should be very
clean when he goes to church. Even
the moat graceless citizens among
the Russians are good churchmen.
They attend to their religious duties
in a way that sets an example for
some of their critics. Many of their
very-day customs have a religious
significance. The wearing of a beard
la In strict accordance with the teach
ings of the church.
The Rusian peasant at home Is not
much given to studying appearances.
He still wears his red flannel shirt
outside hla trousers. There la a pro
verb In Russia that the man who tucks
In his shirt ceaaea to be honest. Be
that as it may, the shirt outside the
trousers la not always a talisman
against sins of both omission and com
mission, notably those of Ananias.
The peasant costume la simple. The
trousers, often of cotton, are tucked
Into high boota. The kaftan, or over
coat, la of brown cloth, home made.
In winter a sheepskin jacket la worn
nnder It.
The wife of a peasant wears print
gowns, and so does his little girls, the
latter In summer being Innocent of
other garment. The chubby and rosy
cheeked, flaxen-haired children play
around the farm in red tunics, ever
with a pious medal of St. Vladimir or
St. Paul around their necks.
Housekeeping among the peasants
la simple, though the women are hard
workers, often holplng In the flelda
In addition to doing their housework.
The most Important, domestic arti
cle in a Russian house la the samovar
literally "self-boiler" In which the
family tea la made. All Russians are
great tea drinkers, and all tea la made
in samovars. The samovar Is a big
brass vessel with a tube down the
center, In which live coals are placed
to heat water for making the tea.
Russian cookery la wholesome, and
In the main palatable. Beef, pork,
fowls and fish are staples, aa with
os. Bread la made from rye, and ia
dark brown, being known aa "black"
bread. Soup ia much eaten. The
moat distinctly national soup, which ia
eaten by all classes, especially by the
peasants, la called "shchee." It la
made from beef, cabbage, parsley and
carrots, and seasoned with salt and
pepper. Poor people make It with
out the beef. Another popular soup
la "borsch." this Is made after the
following recipe: "Boll separately a
piece of beef and some greens, either
spinach, sorrel or the leaves of beet
root. Rub the greens through a sieve,
nd put them Into the beef broth,
which muBt also have been previously
passed through the Bieve. Add pepper
and salt. Boll and let simmer. Then
boll some eggs hard, cut them Into
piece, and put them into the borsch."
LUMBERING IN MANCHURIA.
Ruaslans Likely to Become Our Com
petitora In Chinese Market
Many lumbering enterprises are be
ing established In Manchuria, Siberia
nd Sakhalin, with tho Idea of com
peting with American Paclilo coast
lumber.
The moRt Important Is tho Russian
timber and mining company, of the
far east, with headquarters at Port
Arthur. This company Is organized
by aonio of tho most prominent men
connected with tbo Russian govern
ment, and la reputed to have a capi
tal of 20,000,000 rublea (110,300,000).
Its principal operations will bo on the
Yalu rlvtr, whore it runs down timber
from tho forest a of Korea as well aa
the largo forests of Manchuria. These
forests are said to bo very extensive
and contain immense quantities of ex
ceedingly fine timber. There is much
of tho like In this market from that
locnllty, and It has been the sourco
of supply for both this and tho Tien
tsin market for ages.
At the mouth of the Valu, Russia ia
to build the third largest sawmill in
the world. Whether or not the mill is
to romo from tho T'nlted States Is not
known, but a reat mill enterprise is
already In progress of construction,
located exactly on one of tho points
now In controversy. In addition to this
competition, which Is already supply
ing lnrge quantities of timber and
lumber to Port Arthur, Dalny, Nluch
wang, and the Chinese Eastern rail
way, the Russians are shipping quan
tities of lumber to all of these places
by steamer from Vladivostok and vi
cinity and from the Island of Sakhalin.
Another point of Russian competi
tion In the lumber business Is devel
oplis on tho Sungarl river, where tho
Chinese Eastern railway crosses It,
about eighty miles south of Harbin.
Timber In considerable quantities la
run down this river to the point and
Is being made Into lumber by the
C!iln"se method, several hundred men
belig engaged In the work. Lumber
from this source will never reach the
sea In competition for the trade of
China, but It will be a splendid source
of supply for railway use and for the
city of Harbin.
It Is clear that Russia Intends to
provide for all tho requirements of
lumber In Manchuria and Siberia, with
a possibility of entering the Chinese
market. The Ruslana are familiar
with the lumber, wheat, and flour busi
ness, and as they have the natural
advantages and tho earnest support of
their banks, railways and government
throughout Manchuria, their develop
ment of these Industries la likely to
closo this market to our country in
these products, and If they show In
tense energy and enterprise they will
become Bevere competitors In the
groat markets of China for flour espe
cially, and possibly for lumber. Na

Scythe aa Church Ornament
At the first sight the scythe Is a
strange ornament for a church, but
there is nothing incongruous In these
curious agricultural Implements as
soon in tho parish church of St. Mary's
at Horncastle, in Lincolnshire.
Thirteen of these blades are nailed
above the door In the north chapel.
At one time the blades numbered 40
or CO, but owing to rust and decay
many of them have been lost. Each
of the scythes ia about a yard In
length.
Tho general belief Is that these
blades were placed In tho church in
commemoration of the zeal of peas
ants who wielded them in defense of
their fatlh In the rebellion known aa
"The Pilgrimage of Grace," which had
Its rise at Louth In 1536.
When .he p iople s w the rulna of
their churchea and abbeys, they rose
In revolt, and arming themselves with
the Instruments of husbandry, such aa
scythes, they went forth to encounter
the enemy.
They were beaten and dispersed,
but in the eyes of their countrymen
they were heroes, and the rude Im
plements with which they fought were
deemed worthy of an abiding place In
the old church, where the peaaanti
bad worshipped. Christian Age.
Japanese Government
It Is now quite well established that
the Japanese government continued
for over 2,500 yeara exactly the same
in form as that of the Mahometan
caliph and of modern Rome. The
chiefs of religion among the Japanese
have been the chiefa of the kingdom
much longer than In any other na
tion. The succession of the pontiff
kings may be traced with certainty
for more than 780 years before our
era.
The ecclesiastical emperor waa call
ed "Dlarl," a name now used by the
people for the royal realdence of the
mikado or for the court itself. Until
recently the mikado waa regarded aa
too sacred to be called by hla right
name. After the overthrow of the pon
tiffs the dalrl waa kept In honor
able confinement by the mikado and
troated with the utmost respect, for
the people revered him as If be were
an Idol. New York Press.
8tone With a History.
A atone with a remarkable history
la kept at the British naval offices In
Portsmouth. In the '60s It saved a
vessel of the queen's navy. The frigate
Pique ran ashore on the Japanese
coast, but was refloated in what waa
thought to be an undamaged condi- i
tion. It proceeded to Portsmouth and !
was docked, when It waa found that j
the stone had Imebdded Itself firmly In
the planks of the ship's bottom. Tho ;
stono prevented leakage, and had It
dropped from ita position during the '
homeward run there Is little doubt
that the Pique would have been lost.
I n OF WAN
Popularly Supposed to Have
But One Wife.
KNOWN TO HAVE NINE.
The Other Wives' Children are Recog
nized as of Full Standing in the
Royal Pedigree. Wives are Some
times Selected for Political Rea
sons. Their Influence.
Mutsublto, the emperor of Japan, la
popularly supposed to have only one
wife, the chiprcas, to whom ho waa
married In 180!). Aa a matter of fact,
be has, or has had, nine wives. Of
these, however, eight are merely con
cubines, or consorts, having no social
rank and not figuring In any way In
tho court ceremonies. They were se
lected for him by tho Imperial council
from among tho first families of the
nation. The emperor himself, la the
ory at least, had nothing to say about
It.
Referring to theso plural wives, W.
E. Curtis, In his book "The Yankeos
of the east," says: "They seem to no
a sort of guaranty that there shall be
an heir to tho throne, as their chil
dren are recognized as of full stand
ing In the royal pedigree, and the
present heir apparent Is the son of
one of them. They are selected bo
cause of their pure blood, their
health and beauty and sometimes for
political reasons, for It Is considered
tho highest distinction that can be
deferred upon a woman In Japan to
bo empress is only nobler. Tho left
handed wives of the emperor often
wield a tremendous political Influence,
for obvious reasons, and their rela
tives are supposed to profit thereby.
They live In the greatest luxury, are
surrounded by multitudes of attend
ants, and except for their omission
In the court codes of etiquette, which
do not provide for them, they stand
equal to the empress herself."
Tho emperor, acording to tho samo
authority, has had twelve children, of
whom only four, three girls and one
boy, aro living. Tho Countess Bono
was the mother of four children, the
Countess Chlgusa and tho Countess
Yanaglwara of three each and Mme.
Ha.shunato and Mme. Hamuro of one
child each. Woshihlta, the prlnco Im
perial, Is the son of Countess Yana
glwara, who became one of tho em
peror's concubines in 1875. She Is
tho daughter of Count Yanaglwara, a
respected citizen of Tokyo, and Is
said to be a woman of ability.
Before her marriage Che ompreas
waa Princess Haruko, daughter of
Prince Ichijo. This man was of noble
ancestry and had taken an active
part in the revolution against the ty
coons. The marriage waa popular and
the empress is to-day the idol of the
Japanese people. She is much less
exclusive than the emperor, Is demo
cratic and progressive In her ways
and la much Interested in educational
and charitable affairs. She haa had
no children. When she waa married
she was 19 years old and tho emperor
two years younger. She is dercrlbed
as a delicate and slender woman, with
a long, thin face, pointed chin and
flat features. Like most of her country-women
she uses cosmetics freely
and these do not enhance her beauty
in the eyes of foreigners.
Ernest W. Clement in "A Handbook
of Modern Japan," says of the em
press: "She was brought up In the
old-fashioned way, but she is in hearty
sympathy with the Ideals of New
Japan. As she has no children of her
own she has adopted the entire na
tion and completely won their love;
she Is, Indeed, the mother of millions.
She la especially Interested In educa
tional and benevolent Institutions;
she Is the active patron of the Peer
eases' school, the University for Wo
men, the Red Cross society and other
philanthropic enterprises. In times of
calamity her purse Is always opened
for a liberal contribution to the suf
fering." Haru No Mlya Yoshlhlto, the prince
Imperial, was born Aug. 31, 1879, and
was proclaimed heir to the throne In
1887. In May, 1900, be was married
to Princess Sada, daughter of Prince
Fushima, a man of great prominence
and a councilor of the emperor. She
was born in 1884 and educated in the
Peeresses' school until her bethrothal
when she was placed under private
tutors. The prince imperial la even
more progressive than his father and
when he married the princess be did
not merely "appoint" her his wife
and have the fact registered In the
presence of witnesses, as la the usual
custom, but he bad a religious cere
mony performed by a priest and bad a
reception and banquet. He treats
his wife aa an equal In every respect
and it la believed that through bis
Influence the status of women gen
erally in Japan will be very much im
proved and that concubines, which ia
now practically recognized aa legal,
will be discouraged. They have two
children. Prince Horohito, born April
29, 1901, and Prince Yasuhlto, born
June 25, 1902.
Mlkadoa Ancient Ancestry.
Ancient though many European
royal houses may consider themselves
none can beat the record of the mi
kado. Mutsuhito is the one hundred
and twenty-second wearer of the
crown, which his ancestors have
borne without interruption since the
year C66 B. C. That la to Bay, the
founder of the dynasty waa a contem
porary of Nebuchadnezzar. Though
one may not bo guilty of the Impolite
ness of calling this pedigree In ques
tion, it la difficult to bolieve that the
mikado of 2.550 ycara ago was the son
of the sun goddess. Possibly even the
present occupant of the throne has
ioubts about It In private.
THE "HERMIT KINGDOM."
Brief Sketch of Korea and Its Many
Characteristics.
Korea Is tho country occupying the
peninsula between tho Yellow sea and
the Rea of Japan, reaching northward
along the coast to latitude 43 degrees.
Tho Tlumen river, Shang Pal moun
tains and Yalu river separate It-from
Manchuria In an Irregular northwest
southeast line of natural boundaries.
It Is about not) miles long, north and
south, and i:t." miles wide, and con
tains about 75,000 square miles.
The northern half of this territory
i Is mountainous and well wooded, with
: peaus u.ouo nnd 8.000 reet high; a
j rango of mountains runs along the
j eastern seabonrd, and another rango
! reaches down to tho southwest point
j of the peninsula and reappears in tho
j extinct volcano (Mt. Auckland, or
! Hanrasan) on qudport Island. The
I oast coast Is abrupt and rocky, with
i few harbors, the best being Wonsan
(or Gensan) and Fusan.
j The smith and west coasts are low,
I studded with Islands entered by sev
! eral rivers affording IlKht draft navl-
ration, and abound In harbors, but the '
hlnh tides and fierce currents maka
approaches dangerous. Tho Na Kong,

mention. The Yalu can be ascended
naviniio ia miles to t'lngyang, and

and by boats to Wl-wen, about 175
miles above Its mouth.
The northern rivers freeze over in
winter, and snowy winters rule there
from December to March; but tho
sorhern half of the country Is much
1 warmer. The climate, on the whole,
I Is healthful and rather dry. The
' western side of the country Is mainly
j monotonous plains, dry, fertile and
nearly denuded of wood.
Wagon roads hardly exist, and In
terior traffic Is by boat, packhorsea
and human norters. travelers pains- on

way extends between Seoul and Che

The eeneral customs, manners and
costumes of the people partake of
both Chinese and Japanese character

total population may be 15,000,000.
Peculiarities of Koreane.
The Koreans are said to have Jap
anese facea, Chinese customs and
manners of their own. Next to the
Eskimos they are the heartiest eat
ers In the world. The flesh ot younc
dogs la their favorite delicacy; Jap
anese beer their favorite beverage.
Every Korean house baa a cellar, call
ed khan, wnich is used aa a furnace.
Its mouth is some distance from the
house. On a cold night you will see
one or more white-clad flgurea cram
ming the khan's mouth aa faat aa they
can with twlga, branches and other
combustible food. Thua well-fed, the
furnace burns for houra and keepa the
house warm all night. In Korea, aa
in China, ancestor worship is the real
religion. Fortune tellers, astrologers
and sorceresses are in great demand.
The Koreans are a nation of poets and
palntora. Every fairly educated man
writes poems and paints plcturea.
"Geasanga," who correspond to the
Japanese geisha girls, are numeroua
in the larger towna, and eapeolally
abound at Plngyang, In the northern
mining district. The Korean popula
tion la divided Into two elaaaea, the
workers and the students and 0 fa
cials. The workers are oppreaaed aad
abused without mercy and are apa
