UNOLBRA-¿COURGE IN RUSSIA,
- PEASANT IGNORANCE AND SUPERSTITION. SL Fetersburg, Aug. 4. Tha, cholera in Russia in assuming daily main formidable proportions. Hitherto, not withstanding the enormous aggregate of deaths' { from cholera le previons epidemics, practically so laterforer ce with commerce and industry has been caused. Now, howevar, s ticar | consequences have ensued for one of the most important 'Ruialan industries, coul-mining in the Donets region.. Nearly three thousand, cases of cholera, with över a thousand deaths, among the colliers bave caused a panics the misers are disputing over the country, and work thresteps to stop entirely. The country districts are absolutely witho:t means to cope with any epidemic like cholera and the dispersal efthon andsof colljars fromthecholera-stricken igion will carry the scourge fur and wide into the villages. Thacommon kuuman baistilt to be compelled by force to, undertake even the most elementury sanitary precautions, and it is enly in large coutros, wżere the arm of the Government is strong, that thesh qompulsory steps can be taken. fo the village a it la impos». sible even for the Government to do anything 'adequate to the situation.
Themojik believes that disssss comes from God, and is, therefore, inevitalis; that cholera, fo particular, is a fad of learned men, who, fail- Irg a sufficiency of cases to sprich them, de nct hesitate to isfret whola districts with tes
cholera poison: As the people have no clear idea-their besotied ignorance, seems to make iimporsible to convey to them_any clear idea, even in sech a centre as St. Feters burg-of what cholera is and whence it comes they seizs.wi hilie avidity of supersthios apos any idle tale. Here a harmless botanist collec- ting specimens of the form of a district is "moved on " by us Busty crowd beyond, the corfices of their village lands; there a new comer, quenching his thirst, at a villaga woll, I breatened with death for "poitosing the water" disinfecting operations, which include sprinkling of yards and dwellings, even in the capitals, me rerente", the people openly grum- bling that the "doctors are sowing cholers";a hospital is to the common people of Russia an object of tenfold more dread than noy prison. Cans of chol ra have to be sought for vigli- sally and interned in hospitals by force.

disent to Russia, and, terrible as the tale told by the published statistics is, there can be litle doubt that it tells only a lithe of the truth. The lawet officials of the ruling hierachy are in the coral districis drawn from the ranks of the ignorant, and from such pri adequate assistance can reasonably be expected. Those who have visited Russian villages after the cholera has passed over them relate stories that can only be paralleled lo medon Emas by those of African travellers in vim.lar chcumstances. The beat effxis of the Government in such cases hardly go beyond the task of disposing, not with de cency, but with safety, of the dead that lig huddled about everywhere. Ignorance goes. bied in hand with superstition and while the commja ptopte lock upon savitary pre- cautions as a useless nulinore, they will not only listen to, but even pay money to bear, all #ts of curious items of a cient f. lklere and modera' quackery. ke doctor and bis ossis:- au's often go io fear of hair lives, but the village "wite woman' en 'the local wizard" are persors both frared and hoffered.

Tiba is a cautam-to name only one of hur- dreds such in the villages à many parts of Russia to bathe a sick person and then return to the village. wall the nied water, the belief balog that the disease will thus be divided equilly among all, and none will feel the bar dea al so minuttly divided a sickness at all troublesome for his health. Na ually, te com nunity is not always asked whether it is willing to relieve the sick person of bis disease. In the case of cholera, the effects of this on superstition alone may be only too well linigined. Yet the sources of water-supply anyway in ' Russia, cu:side the towns are apparently never guarded. Happily, the absence of baths large enough for an adult prevents the application of this outragatus Custom, except in the case of children, who can be bathe in the family cooking vessels if need be.
Until the well-being of the Russian mujik 1s raised to a decent standard it is a truly imp ́s. ible for any Government to dream of stamping oui disenso that has now been rife in Russia for four years in successfor,. It is natural to ask: What most be the state of the villages when the capi al of the empire, St. Petersburg, kan fill to wait at least is year for a pure water supply and a sewerage system?
