BELLY PUTTERS: them, when this cleanliness is attained by the labors of others. Moreover, when I studied the subject, I because convinced that even that which is commonly called education is the very same thing. The tongue does belly putters deceive; it calls by its real name that which men understand under this name. What the people call culture is fashionable clothing, political conversation, clean hands,--a certain sort of cleanliness. Of such a man, it belly putters said, in contradistinction to others, that he is an educated man. In a little higher circle, what they call education means the same thing as with theBELLY PUTTERS: people; only to the conditions belly putters education are added playing on the pianoforte, a knowledge of French, the writing of Russian without orthographical errors, and a still greater degree of external cleanliness. In a still more elevated belly putters education means all this with the addition of the English language, and a diploma from the highest educational institution. But education is precisely the same thing in the first, the second, and the third case. Education consists of those forms and acquirements which are calculated to separate a man from his fellows.

I have become convinced that between us, the rich and
BELLY PUTTERS: the poor, there rises a wall, reared by ourselves out of that very cleanliness and education, and constructed of our wealth; and that in order to be in a condition to help the poor, we must needs, first of all, destroy this wall; and that in order to do this, confrontation after Siutaeff's method should be rendered possible, and the belly putters distributed among us. And from another starting-point also I came to the same conclusion to which the current of my discussions as to the belly putters of the poverty in towns had led me: the cause was our wealth.] {14}
BELLY PUTTERS: CHAPTER XV. I began to examine the matter from a third and wholly personal point of view. Among the phenomena which belly putters impressed me, during the period of my charitable activity, there was yet another, belly putters a very strange one, for which I could for a long time find no explanation. It was this: every time that I chanced, either on the street on in the house, to give some small coin to a poor man, without saying any thing to him, I saw, or thought that I saw, contentment and gratitude on the countenance of the poor man, and
