In A Russian Village.
Social SerVic


AS rule Russian village is a forlorn
loking place, where the huts OF the poor are
made of birch logs, with upright oak or pine
supports, ceilings of strips of the same birch
and walls lined with the crude branches
In these huts there are only two rooms,
one Of which Is not for everyday use, but
is kept for best occasions. This room hous-
es those sacred images so dear to the heart
of every member Of the Greek Church, to
which belong the great mass Of the Rus
sian people. The other room serves the
purpose of both kitchen and sleeping room.
as one OF the principal ideas of comfort to
these people, ice and snow bound for so
many months OF the year. is warmth.
In many OF the peasant huts no beds are
used. and the top of a great stove, reaching
nearly to the roof. is a much sought sleep
ing place. Although the conditions make
dirt and the accompanying results insepa-
rable in the domestic life OF these peas
ants. they are devotedly fond of bathing.
The vapor bath in a crude form may be
called a national institution. and a not un-
usual picture of a summer afternoon is the
village pond filled with women and chill.

Home OF Hon. George Parker Burned
to the Ground.
Cullman June 17.-(Special. 1.-THE
handsome residence of Hon. George II d.
Parker in east Cullman, was almost to-
tally destroyed by fire today at 1890
o'clock.
The fire originated from a defective
fiue on the roof OF the cook room and
spread very rapidly, and though the
fre boys worked faithfully, the build
ing was almost totally destroyed be-
fore the flames were extingulshed Mr..
Parker is in St. Louis. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000. He had $1,000 in
surance on the house and $1,000 on
the furniture. Most of the furniture
was taken from the house but was bad
" damaged by water and rough hand
ling. Mr.. Parker's residence was one
OF the largest and finest In town.
St. Bernard College will close its
present term next week with a series

GRIsT. FoR THE LAWYERS, MILL.

-
In No Other Country nre There 90
Many Damage Suits.
New York Sun.
There are 100000 civil suits
brought in this country every year. II
the plaintiffs were different in every
case, one in eight of the voting popula-
ton could be said to be litigant AS II
is the actual number of different liti-
giants lie not in excess of 500 ,000--400, =
600 plaintiffs and 100000 defendants
which is per cent of the total popuia-
ton Of the country, now about 10000
900.
The number of law suits brought in
a year in France is 100000.
In Italy-Italians are much inclined
to litigation-it is $4,000 and in
Germany it is 5000. 900. a very much
larger number. both actually and rela-
lively, than the number in the United
States.
Civil actions of all kinds begun last
year in Great Britain and ireland num-
beted about 100000, or one for nearly
every tenth male or female adult In
the United Kingdom. In 1902 there
was an increase of nearly 81, 1000 over
the previous year, and 472,041 actions
were heard out of 1,410,4S4 that were
begun.
OF the number of appeal cases heard
one in every three was successful
against one in four or Ave, years ago
The total cost OF British litigation in
1908 was placed at $7,S09,S15.
The best measure of litigation is usu-
ally the number of laws or statutes.
and not, contrary to general belief, the
number of lawyers. In this country it
is found generally to be the case that
the largest amount of litigation does
not originate among Americans, but
among new Corners here. who appeal to
the courts for the adjudication of mat
tiers of trifilng account. In no other
country in the world are there so many
damage suits brought as there are In
the United States.

Cannon Didn't Bow,

Speaker Cannon is a firm believer in
the dignity and equality of the House
of Representatives as compared with
the Senate-a fact that was rendered
apparent to those near the Speaker &
desk one day shortly after the open

On this occasion there entered the
House a messenger from the Senate.
