THE LOTTLT FOLK OF AXJSTKIAN POLAND
tCOBBESPOKDEVCE Or THE DISPATCH.
Lemberq, Galicia, April 17. My
original purpose in ishing Austrian Poland
was to inspect, at the invitation of a
iriend, the new petroleum fields of North
eastern Austria, and incidentally to study
the Galician lowly. On first reaching
Cracow a hasty trip by rail to Kolomea, in
the southeastern corner of Galicia, a half
day's walk irom the frontier of barbario
Bessarabia, demonstrated that there was
nothing of very great interest to write of
these industrial developments.
An oil belt 300 miles in length and about
25 miles wide extends southeast from near
Sanot, in Galicia, along the Carpathian
range of mountains. It then passes between
Bukovina and Hungary, and thence breaks
away into the Roumanian oil fields in de
tached spurs of the Carpathians. It is per
haps 1,000 miles in length, and altogether
forms what is known in the geography of
petroleum as the "Galician deposits" and
territory of the "Austro-Eoumanian re
fineries" Until 18S1 the operations trere of the
mot primitive character, consisting almost
exclusively of "hand digging" and the "free
fall" svstems of sinking wells. At the date
named the Canadian system of "pole tool
drilling" was introduced, and rapid de
velopment, backed bv English capital and
operated bv Galician Polish companies, re
sulted. All the hteam powor machinery is
imported irom .nglana. .Engineers and
superintendents have been brought from the
Canadian oil fields, and the tools, formerly
supplied from Hanover, are no,r made in
Galicia.
o Sach Flov as Pennsylvania's.
The flow of oil is not to be compared with
that of the average Pennsj Ivania districts.
It becomes most insignificant when the
great Hussion wells of Baku are taken into
account, yet it is a 1 airly profitable source
of supply; has given employment to thou
sands of Polish and Itutheman peasants,
whose wages are 90 kreutzers, or 'about 36
cents per day, with a daily allowance of two
sticks of cordwood for fuel; and I find the
entire annual production of the Galician
petroleum fields equals two-thirds ct the
total consumption by all Austria.
In so far as these peasant employes, who
were too recently agriculturists woodsmen
and mountaineers to have lost any of their
hereditary customs and characteristics, gave
opportunity of study of the Galician peas
antry, the large groupings of" snch lowly
had interest. But my researches among
the peasant class were chiefly carried on
upon the large estates and in the purely
peasant villages.
The acceptance of three invitations as
guest at the homes of two noblemen and one
rich gentleman farmer furnished opportu
nity to know slightly the aristocratic
country landlord: and to really see their
hinds or laborers and house servants as they
are. The latter diner in no important re
spect irom the laboring peasantry of the
villages, save that to me they seem even
more soddenlv stupid and servile. At this
time of the year the outdoor laborer still
retains his winter clothing. He is a curious
looking lelloir. His hair is cut either
straight across his forehead, or to a spear
like point upon it, and grows like a lion's
mane about his shoulders and neck.
Pressed 1.11. a Robinson Crusoe.
His head covering is a mangy fur hood,
often of squirrel skin with the tail dangling
loosely upon his shoulders, or of sheep or
goatskin with the fleece side next his head.
A sort of greatcoat or Tobe hangs loosely
from his shoulders to below his knees. This
is of the skin of some animal, with the iur
or hair next the body. The reversed exposed
side is covered with ancient layers of grease
for protection against the snow and rain. If
he possesses undergarments of any sort, they
are shreds of rags stuffed with " chaff and
straw.
He usually wears stockings of the heaviest
end coarsest material, and high legged,
pointed shoes of huge proportions. For not
only are the precious hose protected by
ropes of straw wound from above the knee
to the ankle, but enough chaff and wisps of
siraw participate in occupancy ot his cav
ernous shoes to provide sufficient warmth.
Aside from this unique garb, his beard
stands out from his lace a massy, wiry
chevanx-de-frise, in which enough' straw
and cliafl have lodged to provide an ade
quate "comforter" for his face and neck.
From a dozen to a score of these peasant
animals seem to be attached to every large
estate. If they have quarters excep't those
who arc married, who are provided with
low, thatched wooden huts, squalid and
filthy beyond description I was not able to
find them. They are "messed" like hogs
from the great house kitchen in corners of
the stableE, and lie down at night among
the other animals, with their straw ropes
and hide coats for bedding, wherever they
are able to find most congenial and comfort
able stabling.
Some:lilnr Very ltke Serfdom.
Serfdom is not supposed to exist in this
land, but I have a well-founded suspicion
that something very like it is in vogue.
The wages of such laborers do not ex
ceed an aeragc ot 30 kreutzers per day,
perhaps 12 cents, although they are glad
enongn to get this. Each estate is pro
vided with a steward, or overseer, who,
like the Irish agent, adjusts matters so
that human effort is not permitted to pro
duce more than this kind ot human life is
supposed to require. He has a storehonse
filled with the rude requirements of these
estate laborers coats, shoes, hose, belts,
something that is called tobacco and snuff,
caviare and vile brandy. These are issued,
niter the manner of our own exquisitely
devilish "truck" system with miners, with
such discretion that the estate laborer is in
life long debt, and is subject to the prison
and lash if he attempts to escape his master
and his obligation.
And yet.the households sustained by this
lovely adjustment of human equities and
ethics are as serene and sweet as I have
ever found. "Wherever my host and I
inoed about the estates these white slaves
first bent and kissed the hems of our great
coats and then stood with bared heads in
silence until we had passed. No doubt this
sort of thing gives the master a grand
czar-like feeling, and it is lording it cheaply
besides.
So, too, within the mansions where the
servants are few in comparison with similar
establishments in other Europeau countries,
when the somewhat bettcrconditioned white
slaves, because better housed and fed only,
aie notetrnally grabbing at one's sleeve or
coat skirts to perform this osculatorv rever
ence, they are continually, when entering or
leaving any apartment, or receiving an
order or serving vou, ejaculating, with
ducked heads, "Ichliuest die hand."
tng ish Governrssrs Tor Teachers.
There are no schools or colleges for the
better class of girls, and at nearly all these
Polish aristocratic homes I foiled' a bonne,
an English governess, or both, and a French
tutor. Tliey receive excellent salaries, lhe
on something like terms of equality with
their employers, are usually broken down
gentlemen or gentlewomen with a "literary
turn' like provident Mr. "Wcgg, and are the
most glad and grateful people on earth when
chance brings a traveler like myself from
the outside world ot glowing activities
among them.
I do not know whether to pity them or the
manual servants of the household most

which there Is scarcely a ray of llghtsome

advantage rather on the side of the serfs be

circle" in Berlin in 1882, while atutor'jn
another establishment is an Oxford linguist,
who has published a creditable book in Lon
don within five years last past. Both of
them begged me in God's name not to reveal
their present whereabouts and condition.
Outside of the great estates, the Galician
peasantry in general are of two 'distinct
races the Bnthenians, of Russian descent,
and the Poles. Their conditions are equal,
but thev have many distinct characteristics.
Neither actually possesses n foot of oiL
Host hold their patches of ground, or huts,
when they are simply cotiers and laborers,
at the will of the lord; ond rent is seldom
collected in money, for ot money they have
little or none. Field products are some
times taken in lieu of money, but rents are
usually, almost universally, collected in
labor, amounting to from 80 to 100 working
days in each year to each man.
The aiore Manly of The Tiro.
The Ruthenian is the tidier, thriftier,
more manful of the two. His- dress is of
coarse, hempen stuff, with his shirt hanging
outside his trousers, with occasionally a
Back-like coat made of the coarse, long hair
of the mountain sheep. His feet aro cov
ered with moccasins pointed at the toes and
laced from the too to the ankle. He wears
no stockings, but loosely winds his legs
with cord irom his ankles half way to the
knees, where it binds his baggy trousers
closely. In the summer he wears a straw
hat, and in the winter a Lapland hood. He
is a coarse, clean man, never fat, of splen
did muscular development: wiry, active,
alert, and by all odds the best workman or
laborer in Galicia.
The Ruthenian woman has some odd Ideas
of dress. The material Is usually of coarse
linen. Her goD, whloh Is in reality her
chemise, is open from neck to knees and is
belted in loose folds about tho waist. An
other curious and distinguishing article of
dress is her woolen apron. She is never
without this, but it is worn behind, never
in front. She has no stockings or under
garments, but her feet nre shod like her tins
band's with pointed and laced moccasins.
Her head, in winter and summer, is always
bound in n gaudy handkerchiof, but she pos
sesses no other article of olothing whatever,
except a sheepskin coat for winter use.
"What she lacks next her skin she makes up
in ornamentation. I have counted more
than a score of brass rings on the fingers of
her two hands. Her earrings of hollow brass
would hold enpugh oil to light the family
fireside for an evening; and her necklace of
class or imitation coral beads, coiled a half
dozen times about her by no means charm
ing neck, is always yards In length.
A Box or Treamred Keepsakes.
Often five to ten families live under one
roof, but usually tho doma, or houso which
the Ruthenian calls his budo, is a tiny hut
of one room. All the furniture in this
cots, stools, tables and chests are hand
made and almost always made by the peas
ant himself. There is invariably one box
on which he has lavished his most loving
art. It contains his keepsakes and treas
ures and all his kreutzers and gulden. He
never relinquishes the key to this, and not
even his wife knows how little or great Is
the store it contains.
The Polish peasant's stove Is a square box
of stone or brick, with a square hole in
front and another square hole on top. As
his stove is more modern than the Ruthen
ian's, his food is more varied and better.
He is a lover of all vegetables, and cabbage
is almost a staple of food. This is varied
by his harsz soup, or a vegetable soup con
taining chunks of pork, and each Polish
peasant is said to consume half' a ton of
gorken, or cucumbers preserved with bay
leaves and salt, every year. Another meal
of which he is very fond is potatoes and
sour milk. The latter costs but 3 kreutzers
per quart, or 8 cents per gallon. He Is
a slae to spirits, and the average Polish
peasant consumes one gallon ot Mle Ger
man schnapps every week.
The houses of both Ruthenian and Polish
peasants are but one story high, with on 3
room open to the roof. They are made of
slabs and bits of refuse timber from the
mountain mills. These bits are rudely
mortised together. "When the inner struc
ture is completed, pegs are driven into the
sides. Clay mortar is then thrown upon
the pegs and pounded until it is solid. The
surfaces are then wet and worked by hand
and light mallets until perfectly smooth
aud dry, when the huts nre whitewashed
and thatched. Little groups of these charm
ingly diversify the often dreary Galician
landscape. Edgab L. WAKKMATf.

The Cook
Not to Blame.
Many nice delicacies are of
ten spoiled by the abomina
ble flavorings used in them
and generally their having
been spoiled is attributed to
the cook. Now if Dr. Price's
Delicious Flavoring Extracts
are used, cooks will not be
unjustly blamed; nice dishes
will not be spoiled, as they
always impart the delicate
fresh-fruit flavor in whatever
they are used. To have en
joyable and healthful food,
the best articles must be se
lected to make it It is econ
omy for the poorest to, use
