NEW RECIPE FOR AN OLD DISH
Boiled Cabbage Thus Cooked is a
Dish to Tempt an Euicure.

1T may be that your mothers. who
have always used the Fashioned
method of cooking cabbage, will be
skeptical, but / am sure your first trial
will convert them to the newer way
writes Sallie Joy White in "Woman's
Home Companion" Have plenty of
boiling, sailed water, in which a tea
spoonful OF soda has been dissolved:
plunge the cabbage in, top downward.
leave it uncovered, and let it boil until
tender, which will be in about half an
hour. 1t may vary a few minutes from
the half hour, but it will be slight
variation only. Take it out into a COL
ander, drain well, put into a hot dish.
season with bits of butter, salt and
pepper, and serve at once. Cooked in
this way cabbage viii be as delicate as
caulifiower; the color will be retained
instead of being turned into that Witty
brown tint cabbage as it has been
known in the past, and there will not be
such strong odor penetrating every
corner of the house such as is usually
associated with this vegetable Another
advantage of serving it cooked by this
rule is that persons who cannot eat it
when boiled the oldfashioned way find
that they can partake of it without any
i'll effects"

A STATESMAN OF RUSSIA.
How Constantine PobedonstzeR
Caused the Great Reaction.

ambassador Andrew D. White CON-
tributes to the Century a sketch OF
"A Statesman of Russia Constantine
Pobedonostzeff, Procurator-General of
the Most Holy Synod After speaking
of the death of Alexander II. at the
very time when he was granting LIBERAL
institutions, Mr.. White SAYS
At his death the sturdy young
guardsman became the Emperor Alex
ander III. It is related by men con-
versant with Russian affairs that at the
first meeting of the imperial councillors,
Loris- Melikoff, believing that the young
sovereign would be led by filidl rever-
ence to continue the liberal policy to
which the father had devoted his life,
made a speech taking this for granted,
and that the majority of the councillors
seemed fully in accord with him, when
suddenly there arose in the council this
tall gaunt, scholarly man, who, at first
very simply, but finally with burning
eloquence, presented a different view.
According to the chrOniclers of the
period, Pobedonostezeff told the EN-
peror that all so-called liberal meas
ures. including the constitution, were a
delusion; that, however such things
were not suited to Russia; that the
constitution of that empire had been
from time immemorial the will of the
autocrat, directed by his own sense
of responsibility to the Almighty; that
no other constitution was possible in
Russia that this alone was fitted to the
traditions, the laws, the ideas of the
hundred millions of various races under
the sway of the Russian scepter; that
in other parts of the world constitu-
tional liberty, so called, had already
shown itself an absurdity-socialism
with its plots and bombs, appearing in
all quarters, attempts making against
rulers of nations everywhere, and the
best of Presidents having been assassi-
mated in the very country where free
institutions were supposed to have
taken the most complete hold. He in
sisted that the principle of authority in
human government was to be saved,
and that this principle existed as an eff
fective force only in Russia.
This speech is said to have carried
all before it. As its immediate result
came the retirement of Loris- Melikon,
followed by his death. not long after
ward. upon the Riviera; the entrance
of Pobedonostzeff among the most
cherished councillors of the Emperor;
ard, as the consequence of this, the
suppression of the constitution, the dis
couragement of every liberal tendency,
and that complete reaction which is in
full force at the present hour.

jured. There were over fifty persons III
the building when it went down and all
of them were more or less injured.
In Wisconsin the storm was more vio-
lent than in any other place. but for
tunately it originated in the numbering
district of the northern counties, swept
along the line of the 500 road and spent
its force in the pineries. Nine people
are known to have been killed. Vague
reports brought in by train crews from
the scene of the storm are to the effect
that nineteen bodies of lumbermen from
a camp near Heafford Junction are now
lying in the railway station at that
place. It is said. too. that ten lum-
bermen were killed near Elmhurst. but
this report also lacks confirmation.
The property damage in Wisconsin
while quite heavy, will doubtless fall
much below that done in the farming;
districts along the Mississippi in Iowa
and Illinois.

the Farmers Union to collect $4,000,

the corporation and lost in the fire
which destroyed the defendants ware
houses here on the Sd of last January,

The Farmers Union showed pretty
plainly that the fire was incendiary.
but in the trial the court instructed
that it was incumbent on the plaintiff
to show negligence on the part of the
storage company, which was not done.
The suit is regarded as test case, as
many farmers were losers by the fire,
though the corporation made every eff
fort to realize on the debris. and paid
over the savings to all who would take
the same.
