How Russians Make Tea.

"This is Russian samovar," said the
head of the Russian department at
Tiffany's in answer to question. People
in this country don't know how to use
them. They imagine that samovar is
to make tea in; whereas tea in Russia
where tea is made in perfcctiOn-is
always made in an carthen teapot.
1.-THE samovar ought to be engraved
on the Russian coat of arms. Every
Russian, from the peasant to the Car,
has samovar, but the samoyar is only
to heat the water for the tea. This
centre tube you uotice," he continued,
removing the cover, ''when in use
should be filled with lighted charcoal.
usually advise persons TO start the char
coal in the range and put it lighted in
the sRmovar tube. Tie space around
this tube is filed with cold water, the
samovar is placed on the table, and in a
few moments the water begins to boil.
Russian ladies always prepare their tea
themselves at the table. An earthen tea
pot, with small box containing tea, is
always placed beside the lady at the
head of the table. She first turns a
little boiling water in the teapot to heat

the tea. She turns boiling water over it
and instantly turns this Quit is merely
TO wash the dust off the tea This done,
she turns on the tea sufficient water to
make it quite strong, covers it with a
napkin, aud leaves it for a few moments
TO draw. Then she fills each tea glass
:,artly full of this strong tea aud fills it
up with boiling water from the samovar,
regulating the strength of the glass of
tea to the taste of the person to whom it
is served.
'Russians do not drink strong tea.
All tea is served in thin glasses set in
metal frames. like Turkish coffee cups.
A tea glass and holder is u popular gift
from lady to agentleman. Water that
has boiled oyer fifteen minutes is con-
sidcred unfit 10 make tea. All tea is
served boiling hot. Cold tea is an
abomination. II is not known in Russia.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
The Engineer and the Fireman Killed.
Complete Wrsck-Causc of the
Accident.

A fatal railroad accident occurred on
the New River division of the Norfolk
and Western railroad just below Eggles-
toms, sixteen miles below New River
Junction. A freight consisting of thirty
five empty coal cars ran into rock slide,
and the engine and fifteen or twenty cars
were thrown from the track and wrecked.
The engine was precipitated into the
river, carrying down with it J. G. Abbott,
the engineer, who was instantly killed
and partially buried under the wreck.
The fireman, F. johnson, was also killed,
his body being fearfully manglcd. The
front brakeman had his ankle severely
sprained by jumping from the train.
The slide came down on the track Just
in front of the engine, and no precaution
could have prevented the accident The
railroad authorities here will send the
body of the engineer to his home, in
Pennsylvania, for interment.

much decrease of area. In Texas there
is considerable increase, and slight in
crease in some other states. The average
decline appears to be between one and
two per cent. In Kentucky 97, Ohio 80,
Michigan 9S, Indiana 100, Illinois 96,
Missousi 80, Kansas 9S. The condition
is affected somewhat by the dryness of
the seed bed in the district that suffered
from drought delaying seeding, germi-
nation and growth. Later rains greatly
improved the situation. The average
condition is %, ranging in the principal
states from 96 to 9s. The condition Of
winter rye comedies very closely with
that of wheat.

THE MIDNIGHT SHOCK.
Freight mid Passenger Trains Telescope
and Burn-Severnl Lives Lost.


and Burn-Several Lives Lost.
The west-bound Union Pacific passen-
ger train was halted near Edison station,
Wyoming Territory, to repair slight
damage to the engine. After the delay,
and when the train had proceeded but a
few hundred yards, a freight train, run
ming at high rate of speed, rounded a
curve and dashed into the rear car, telc-
scoping Two emigrant cars, which at
once caught fire and were entirely con
sumed. The rear of the sleeper 'Delhi''
was also burned. A wfeckinS car and
corps of surgeons were soon on the
ground. Five hours after the collision
the track was cleared and the dead and
wounded were removed to Rawlins.
The thermometer registered 20 degrees
below zero when the accident occurred
and assistance was nearly fifty miles dis
tant. The clothing of many of the emf
grants was consumed in the flames, and
a number were badly frozen before reach
ing shelter. The company did every
thing possible for the unfortunate ones.
Scott Vermillion, conductor of the pas
senger train, fed to adjacent bluffs i'm
mediately after the accident. Twenty
cowboys searched for him all day, and it
is believed he was rendered crazy by the
awful sight. He doubtless ran until ex-
hausted and then tumbled into an iso-
lated drain and expired.

An Exnmple Needed,

No words of deeper truth have been
spoken touching the cure of corruption
in the elections than those of Judge
Gresham to the N. Y. Worlds cores
pondent in Indiana
at is the Pharsees who are doing
this. II ia mon of prominence and re-
spectability who raise these large sums
OF money, knowing the use that they
will be put to, men who deal openly in
corruption ono day and go to church the
next.
1t is these men who bring disgrace
upon the State. Hou may convict n
hundred-yes, even thousand obscure
votes for bribery, but the effect upon n
community would be Ms nothing COM
pared to that which would follow the
conviction of one prominent man.
An example that will command at
tention is needed in this matter. 1t is
the Dudleys and Quays who organize
and incite corruption, and the Wanna
makers. Algers, Carnegies, Shcpards
and other large contributors to enor-
nous corruption funds that should be
punished"
Judge Gresham is right. The men
who contributed to the $4O00 900 raised
in Philadelphia, the Sl,000,000 or more
raised in this city, and the heretofore
unparalleled sums levied upon other ben
eficlaries of the misunderstanding
tariff for use on election day knew that
tins money was to be employed in buy
Ing the election. There is and can be
no legitimate and honest use for such
sums of money as the Republicans used
in this State, in Indiana and West Vir-
ginia.
The political Pharisees who claim for
themselves and their party all the vir-
tue, patriotism and morality In the
country, and then turn over to profess
sional election corruptors barrels of
money with which to debauch the
voters, are far more guilty than the poor
wretches who make up the ''hoaters in
blocks of five"
If Judge Gresham can contribute to
the conviction and punishment of one
"prominent man" for melting bribery,
he will render the Republic greater
service than any man has done it since
the war.--M Y. World.

Senator Daws, on the 9th inst. asked his
Democratic colleges whether they would
prefer TO have the Senate tariff bill passed
substantially as 1t now stands. or to have
the whole Internal revenue system abolish
ed? This is an exhibition OF "check"
tha; could hardly have been expected from
the dignifed position of a United States
Senator, and this, too, within one month
after the close Of a campaign in which the
most prominent plank in the Republican
platform ,.'substantially" answered no,
while the action of the Senators in the
framing of this bill and subsequent en-
dorsementssay yes. Has our great "Amer-
lean Board OF Trade" dwindled to mere
shuffling shysters that they should so far
overlook the ",lignity OF Senatorial court
isy" in tile treatment of our most tmpor-
tRnt national questions? II looks quite
probable that before the snow ceases to ny

OF the people will be pretty thoroughly
established that cheap sugar is far better
Tor the country than cheap whisky.

Some months ago Clarke WNggoner,

fifty or more bound volumes Of newspapers
which covered long period of years in
which lie wore the editorial harness, and
which ought to be more enduring and en-.
teriaining monument TO his descendenis
than marble shift or bronze s,atue-the
following item which was accepted as the
origin OF the "Hard Cider" and Log
Cabin" campaign of 1910. We preserved
the item 30 carefully among our most
secluded clippings, and the campaign
taking a rather different turn from that oi
the "grahdfaiher," il did not come to the
surface until this week il is well prOba-
bly,, as il would have been taken for a
"campaign lie" and the real historical
point overlooked. But 10 the item. 1t
reads as iollows:

subject, and Bill Nye's "Chrononhotonth-

which we have derived information TO ful-

WAS used IN the campaign Of 1910 as a
alur against Gen. VIM. Henry Harrison's
plain msnner of living in those days.
According TO Nyes theory when such a
thing az that was used against a man in
those days he usually "went in by about
the same majority which Old Tippecanoe
had in the Electoral College -234 as
against 60 for Van Buren. (rlns senti-
