vladimir went on conquering to the end
of his life, and is known in Greek history as
Saint vladimir" He left twelve sons, who
fought till most of them were killed or driven
into exile; then Sviatopalk killed his three
remaining brothers and became king. About
800 wears of almost incessant war followed
then the Tartars invaded the country and
completed the desolation. When the whole
region was almost bare of inhabitants the
Tartars (Monrols) left it, but came again
when the population increased, nor were
they entirely excluded till the time of Ivan
the Great (li62-l505), who may be said TO
have refoundod the Russian monarchy, and
was the FIRST called "Autocrat of all the Rus
sias." In iG00-lS all the direct line of Rurik
and vladimir became extinct, and the no
lies chose for ruler Michael Feodororitch
Romanor, first car of the present ruling
line. Peter the Great, from lGS3 to l725,
raised Russia to high rank, and for 100
years past it has gained territory faster than
any other power in the world.
1t was a very poor sort Of Christianity
which Vladimir and his people accepted in
9SS, and apparently had little effect on the
Russian character for some centuries After
the separation of the Roman empire and the
fall of the western power, the eastern, or By
zantne Roman, empire lasted for 900 years,
in a state OF almost perpetual decay. Civili-
zation never elsewhere assumed SO Cespicable
an aspect. But while court and city were
sunk in corruption that cannot be described,
pure Christianity maintained feeble ex-
istence, and the Greek bishops soon began to
assert their Independence Of the Roman
Christians. Political and sectarian feelings
combining, each discussion widened the
breach. At length the western church NOV
known as the Catholic church, declared as a
dogma that the Holy Spirit proceeded from
the Son t'Filioque'1 as well as the Father,
and i'm time this became the main point Of di-
vision. The eastern, or Greek, church went
ON to forbid the use of images and maintain
the marriage of priests, and was at length
formally separated and separately organized
declaring the patriarch of Ccnstantinople to
be its true head and rejecting the DEGREES OF
all the general councils after the first seven.

After many temporary reunions and long
separations tho complete schism was finally
declared on July 10. 1854, when the Roman
legates so;ennly laid on the altar Of St
Sophia, at Constantincple, the sentence Of
accommodation against the Patriarch
Caerularius and all who should adhere to
him. In the meantime, however, the Greeks
had converted the Russians and Bulgarians,
and as Russia grew she naturally became the
patron and political supporter of the Greek
Catholic church.
1t would ill many columns ike this to give
Tho merest outline of the quarreis, complica-
lions and wars that hive grown out Of the
Russian assertion OF right TO protect tho
church. Four hundred years after the final
SEPARATION, the Turks captured CONSTANT
noplc and ended the eastern empire, but after
the first arrogance OF triumph tho suitans
usually tolerated the patrarchs. One by
one the little principalitics on her northern
border have broken Off from Turkey and
gradually become independent; so, between
the seat Of the patrlarchatcs and the great
Greek Catholic power, Russia, now intervene
Servia, Roumania, Bulgaria, etc, whose
people arc chiefly or largely of the same faith
with the Russians, and thus religious sym
pathies and animositleS enter into and color
all the varying phases of that eastern ques-
tom which is such u nightmare to Europe
Landed interests also come in, and so we
have the curiousy contradictory facts of
Episcopal England in alliance with Moham-
medan Turkey and sem-Catholic France
against the Russian Christians; the Russian
car prosecuting tho Roman Catholics in
Poland and encouraging them elsewhere; a
branch Of the Greek church working for an
ecclesiastical alliance with the British
church, another very smalD branch acGnowl-
edging the supremacy of the pope, but re-
jecting the ritual, and at one time all the Rus
slams politically fighting those they were re-
ligiously seeking union with.
AS the Greek church forbids images in the
places of worship, and is not specially partial
TO pictures, the traveller finds none of these
cathedrals which are the .glories Of Catholic
Europe The Emperor Alexander felt this
lack to be a rcproach, and began in 1919 to
build the cathedral Of st. Isaac, which was
and dedicated with great solemnity
in 1855 and is the glory Of Russia. Seventy
million dollars were expended on it, and the
square in which it stands is the finest in st.
Petersburg. 1t is built of red Finland gran
ito in the form Of Greek cross, the four
fronts adorned with porticoes modelled upon
those of the Pantheon; and its dome is gilded
with pure gold. 1t faces the Alexander COL

How to Make Nice Drippings.

Save all scraps Of fat from beef, mutton
and pork Do not mix bacon or ham fat
with them, but try the latter out separately
il you like their flavor in cooking. Many
object to it. Cut the scraps in small pieces,
put into the frying pan, and let them cook
slowly on the stove taking care they do not
burn, until thoroughly melted. Then add Il
few slices of peeled potato, and when these
are well Drowned strain the oil oil into tin
basin. When cool it will be clear and light
in color, and is a very nice substitute for
lard for frying purposes.

The Rcv. T. Dewitt Talmage has stepped

death of the late Henry Ward Beecher.
When President Lincoln, in April, 1861,

time was stationed Mt Annapolis, Md.
Since tho war tho organization has

from the wonderful picture, "Our Lady of

The Greek church does very little mission
ary work; but in Russia the government and
church together have converted many
heather and heretics. AS an entirety the

stantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Athens,
etc The number of Greek Christians in
Russia is 54,0OO,0O0, in Turkey about l2,000,-
600, in Austria 100000, and in all other
countries enough to make the total about
S0,OO0,0O0 In almost every great CONNER
cial seaport of tho world there is Greek
church; and as all the Greek Christians are
interested in the approaching festival, it will
take on the character Of an ecumenical
council to some extent. No general council
Of the church has been called for 200 years,
nor has there been any great movement like
Professionalism was to the Roman Catholics,
or the Catholic reaction of the Sixteenth and
Sevent""~t III centuries; neither has the church
any volu nous literature of controversy, so
Americans really know but little of it, and
only those in direct contact with Greek
Christians receive any impressions Of them.
But in the history Of the church and of
Russia, the wonderful growth Of that empire
and its triumph over the heather in Asia,
there will be subjects enough Of glorification
to make the approaching festival one Of
great brilliancy and rejoicing.

Storm and the consequent financial loss was
enormous. There was much suffering too,
and some loss of life, but the prevailing
sentiment appears to be that the period dur
ing which the metropolis was showed in was
one great playtime. or course other parts
of the eastern portion Of the United States
suffered too, and as severely in some places
as New York, but there it was the greatest
novelty. One metropolitan ambassador
sends us the following, written after the city
had to some extent thrown of her robe OF
snow:
The oldest inhabitant has been Knocked
out. The blizzard has come and gone, and
every one is happy. The characteristic feat
ure of tho New York crowd is its good
nature. People went to bed with ths Their
mometer in the thirties and with drizzling
rain falling over tho city. They awoke in
the midst of the deadly blizzard and they
laughed in it's face. The general suspension
of business which followed threw every one
into CONSERVATION, but it was the consterna-
ton which accepted the inevitable with
mighty good grace. The blanket of snow
that fell over the city cloggcd the wheels of
commerce, but Gotham joked about it.
The blizzard was not so fierce as those which
sweep over the northwest section Of the conn-
try, but sweeping down as it did on the
thickly populated district it did immense
damage. The streets of New York are, COM
paratively speaking, narrow. The snow
came down and virtually filed them. Horse
ears which had started on their routes were
stopped and abandoned by their drivers

A boomerang reporter TO day called
upon the Messrs. Davis, father and son,
and Intercepted them in regard to what
they propose doing, and was most agreea-
bly, surprised at the information impaired:
WELL" said Mr.. Davis, ST., I'VE pro-
pose to enter upon the manufacture of
soap, and supply a large portion of this
Western country with as good an article
as they can procure in any OF the Eastern
markets.
I'VE will have everything in readiness
to operations next Monday, l
think, and our first batch of goods will be
turned out Wednesday afternoon. We
will boil twice a week, and in that period
expect to turn out a carload of first-class
laundry soap. Remember, our output
at the start will be a carload a week, but
we have things so arranged that We can
double the capacity of the works at any
time and turn out eight carloads per
month, or nearly 100 each year.
"We will confne ourselves exclusively
to laundry soap for the first fortnight, but
at the expiration of that time expect to
commence the manufacture of all kinds of
toilet soaps, embracing all qualities, sizes
and shapes.
