LIFE IN RUSSLA. TRAGEDY OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES
Writing in May from a small town in Caucama to ber husband, the wile of an ox-official, gives a very realistic account of the conditions in Russia, from which it may be seen how the peasantry are suffering under Lenin's regime of soar- city, inflated money and military, op- pression.

There is might not remain hungry. scarcely any time to sleep, and sleep itself does not come readily.
Living is extremely expensive here and the prices of all necessaries are still growing. For instance, one pound of poop costs 200,000 reables, and one bar of matches 6,000 roubles. A pound of meat is 25,000. The price for bread is fluctuating between 15,000 and 18,000 roubles; and so with all other commo- dities. As you know, all my "clothes' were looted in December. and I am clothed in rags. Our stock of four" was con sumed in January, and I have to buy bread from the market. There was no one to give or sell me any flour except Olgs, who gave me three poods" of wheat [Note: In Russian weights 40 pounds is equal to 1 pood equals 36 English lbs. I quecoded also in get ting half a pood of four from Helen; and in this way we managed to exist tall the month of March-by buying bread from the market sad by taking it home. But since that month, I have no stock left at home. They eat a horrible quan- tity of bread at our place, sa nothing but bread and tea can be obtained. That is the reason why I am spending 50,000 roubles daily on bread alone, and still wo are balf hungry: 1 give 30,000 roubles a day for milk for our baby. My lodg ings are horrible, and I have had to convert one corner of them into a store- house. It is a terrible room without windows, and I had to keep the stove kindled the whole day to keep the child- Warm. Without exaggeration, I have paid one million reables for wood, in spite of which enough cannot be had. I have burnt a great part of our furni- ture, because I was disgusted with the sight of it. It was worth nothing and, was always troublesome and expensive to remove. The remainder, I am deter mined to sell to matter what price it' will fetch. But there are no buyers, for with the woes of tamins and misery no one can afford to buy while every one carries to the market to sell whatever is not food. The prices of clothes and of luxuries are very low because no one can get enough to eat which is the first consideration. Work is difficult to get. I found a position with some Americans and my example was followed by many ladies of our class. My work is teach ing, and I am" paid 300,000 roubles, a sum which would suffice, of course," only for two days. Fortunately, however, they have some provisions thich they are going to divide between us.、、、 boy has grown up, he can count up to one thousand, but be talks all day about eating."

The
OFFSPRING OF THE UNMARRIED,
LEGITIMISATION BY MARRIAGE,
A Standing Committee of the House of Commons last month, considered the Bastardy Bill, which seeks to make fur- ther and better provision with regard to the children of unmarried parenta.
Sir J. Baird, Under-Secretary to the Home Office, moved a new clause to pro- vide that in cases where the parents of an illegitimate child marry one another after the passing of the measure, the OLLI*- riage, provided it is valid,
to according law, shall render the child, as from the date. of the marriage, legitimate for all pur poses; and where at the time of the mar riage the illegitimato offspring had died leaving any issue, that issue shall have the same right.of succession to say pro-
perty, title, or dignity, as if the parents
