~ |JUST RECEIVED plenty of flesh on their bones, fat, They are in excellent condition, and carry weights that wold break down any tit strong constitu tons, including biscuits for threo days, oh form part of the kit, packed in the sack, and bread, which they manage to carry iti 8 bag on their shoulders. The Rus- ~ sian private in a marching regiment carries 'ho less than seventy-two pounds English. "In his own country he received daily three "| pounds of bread and 7} copecks for all else "but in Roumania his copecks would not buy. him the meat he wanted so the Government, . give him halt a pout.d of meat and 2} co- pecks instead of the full money he received before, He has also served out to him a small ratign of spirits to counteract the deadly damps of the river. His great coat is long and heavy ; he carries it in the shape of a horse collar round bis left shoulder. Round the coat is wrapped one man's share of tho tent, a square piece of canvas furnish. ed with eyletholes and a string. Four of such pieces are bound together, and form a sort of rough gypsy tent, the ends of which are carried by two other men ; the seventh carries the sticks which form upright and ridge poles. Thus seven men carry the tent under which they can sleep ; but it is small, hot, and stufily by day, while a heavy shower of rain penetrates easily through the eylet- holes, the ill-closed apertures, and even through the canvas itself. Wereit not that one sees the Russian . soldier carrying hi® enormous load every day with seeming oase arriving ih good condition at the end of a long march and frequently singing to be- guile the way and refresh the jaded nerves, we might at once condemn the practice of 80 loading the infantry, which ought to ar- rive as fresh as possible in the presence of the enemy. The kit contains much the same articles as those of the English private, but one pair of long boots is carried outside and wrapped around with a strap under the flap of the knapsack, so that the feet of the boots are visible on either side. The men in a camp which I visited yesterday said that the food supplied to them is very satisfuctory in every respect, Their average height was equal or superior to that of an English marching regiment, and their muscular de- velopement particularly good. They are not well set up, and do not show that curious flat-backed stiff position so dear to a drill-sergeant, On the contrary, there are big, humpy muscles on their shoulder blades and the Cossacks especially are splendidly made for strength, It may be useful for England to know that those who represent the Russian soldier of to day as a half.starved ill. treated creature, whe has to be primed to fight, are grievously mistaken, ---- el ---- Epps's Cocoa.--Graterur, Asp Con- onTING.-- "By a thorough knowledge of the atural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap- plieation of the fine properties of well-select- ed cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our break- fast tables with a delicately flavoured bever- age which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such ar- _ ticles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame."
