after taking a priesthood at the An

not a factor in the political life of his
country nor a leading dignltary Of the
church. Father John stood out consplc-
uously whenever Russia attracted III"
worlds attention, whether because OF
national sorrow or rejoicing.
A scoffer at superstition and broad
minded man, nevertheless he was uni
versally known to the people Of Russia
as the holy seer and miracle worker
Of the empire. This resulted from the
deep impression his zeal and devotion
to the church wrought on the people.
At the beginning Of his ministry in
1865. his zeal, his personality and his
unique methods appealed to the medlae-
val spirit which largely prevailed
among the people and In the Russian
church, and he welded wide Influence,
becoming firmly intrenched In Russian
hearts. Quickly his fame spread. lie

Short Suggestions.


Sealing fish is easier if first dipped
in boiling water.
Try a little baking soda and hot wa
ter when cleaning kitchen utensils.
Dissolve a tablespoonful of rock am
monia in the bath. This makes the
water soft and invigorating.
Wheat bran placed in coarse flannel
bags is excellent for cleaning dust from
delicate wall papers.
To remove paint from linens rub
with turpentine, then clean with French
chalk dampened with alcohol.
Pulverize teaspoonful of borax put
il in your last rinsing water and your
clothes will come out white instead of
yellow.
TO keep clothes from running where
the colors are not fast use a cupful
of salt to each gallon of water when
washing them.
If you scorch a garment when iron
ing it rub a lump of dry starch on the
mark, then sponge it off. Repeat till
the yellow disappears
Save your leftover coffee and tea
and mix them with your stove backing
1t will give a bright and lasting polish
to your stove or range.
An old broom that is beyond sweep
ing purposes may be used to scrub the
kitchen floor. Wash with hot suds and
mop with clear water.
Do not use soap in cleaning marble
table tops and mantels. 1t yellows
them. Better results are had from
washing with water softened with am
monia.
When cutting a tomato some prefer
to pass the knife frequently over the
frcshly-cut surface of a large onion
The resulting flavor is indescribably
delicate.
Feed the canary bird plenty of apple
and celery tops just now; also the ten
der leaves of cabbage. A canary pre-
fers tart apple to sweet and the bird
will eat sour apple in preference to
banana.
4 cupful Of leftover mashed potatoes
may be made into croquettes by the ad-
dition Of the yolks Of two eggs,
little grated nutmeg, half spoonful
Of onion juice, pinch Of salt and
little chopped parsley.
Instead of putting food into the oven

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

BY a recent decision of the SUI
preme court of the United States a
rather delicate question was construed
concerning the application of the Jaws
of one jurisdiction in another. 1t will
be of the utmost Importance to suits
of the future, particularly against
railroads in personal damage cases,
where the vexed and perplexing ques-
ton is often raised and generally to
the disadvantage of the individual
bringing the suit, as to the jurisdic-
ton of state courts to handle them.
The case in which this decision was
made was that. of a brakeman who
brought suit in the. courts of Texas
to recover damages from theaAtchison,
Topeka & Santa Fee Railway company
for damages as the result of personal
injuries he received while in the dis
charge of his duties. The accident
occurred in New Mexico and the
brakeman was a citizen of Arizona
The trial court in Texas awarded him
$1,000 damages. The injury was sus-
tanned while the brakeman was riding
On tender of an engine while assist
ing in switching, and the railroad
company contended that because he
was on the tender at the time of the
accident he was guilty of contributory
negligence.
1t was decided by the Texas court,
however, that as riding on engine ten
ders was customary with trainmen
and switchmen, it did not constitute
negligence. The railroad company
also sought to have the disposition of
the case controlled by a law of New
Mexico which prohibits the bringing
in other jurisdictions of suits for dam
ages sustained in that territory. The
Texas court held this law to be ap-
plicable only to citizens of New Mex
leo and not binding on others, and the
supreme court of the United States
has sustained this view and affirmed
the $4,000 judgment awarded to the
brakeman.
