Those who are in the habit of using the Dieppe to Newhaven route between Paris and London will learn with surprise and alarm , Bays the Paris correspondent of the Standard , that he two Russians who were a few days ago arrested near Pontoise , where the boat trains now pass , had intended not to wreck the Presidential special , but the ordinary ex- press full of passengers , for the sake of loot- ing them and the mail - bags . and This is one of the latest results of the police investigation , which has revealed a regular organisation of criminal Russian refugees , most of whom , perhaps , originally professed , some of whom still profess , political Anarchism , but who merely practise vulgar robbery with violence . The author of the pre- sent plot appears to have been a voluble Rus- sian who came to Paris at the beginning of the year and preached the necessity of prac- tising " expropriation in France , à la Rusee . Expropriation , Anarchist jargon , means in " What's yours is mine , and what's mine is my own , " and the visitor converted some of his compatriots , who decided to compel the more wealthy Russians established here contribute to their welfare . to were own In accordance with this creed , the Anar- chist Marashvili and his friends , who " ohotniki , " or " hunters , " as their colony call them , attempted to extract money from a Russian doctor . Disappointed with the meagre results ; the band of hunters ap- pear to have decided that it would be better to make a great coup , and they struck the grand idea of blowing up the boat train . P POLITICAL SPEECHES . an MR . RUNCIMAN ON HOME RULE . Mr. Runciman , speaking at Batley on Saturday , said that while the Government aimed at launching Home Rule - now assured fact - they would not surrender under any pressure , however great . , At the same time he was not averse from variations of de- tail if they would ensure that Home Rule should have a fair chance . LAND TAXATION REFORM . Mr F. Neilson , M.P. , at Hyde on Saturday , said that every political party in the State to- either sincerely or insincerely in day was favour of a change in our existing land sys- tem , and that at the next General Election each candidate would have to say whether he was or was not in favour of the memorial of the Land Values Group in the House of Commons . " AN APPALLING SITUATION . " Speaking on Saturday at a Conservative demonstration at Templenewsam , Sir Mark Sykes , M.P. , said the Government had delibe- rately walked into an appalling situation . Ireland were hurled into chaos , perhaps the United Kingdom and the whole Empire would follow . If RIGHTS OF WORKING CLASSES . Mr. J. H. Thomas , M.P. , addressing rail- way workers at Darlington , predicted a satis- factory outcome from the negotiations between the railway company and the men's repre- sentatives on the question of hours and wages . While declaring that a strike should be the last resort in industrial disputes , he called law and order by people of another class . If rich men were to be allowed to plead con- science or justification in a rebellion against authority , the working classes would claim the same right when engaged in efforts to improve their conditions of labour . cal examination in the first two days after shallow pans , put in crooks , then a few birth of the matter expelled would enable an leaves , and over them a layer of gritty soil , expert to give a reliable opinion as to whether rather more than three parts Alling the pans . the case was due to contagious abortion .

This country's expenditure on imported timber each year is enormous , " and little has been done hitherto in any systematic way to of the opportunities that are missed I may mention that the Postmaster - General recently had to place contracts for the supply of up- wards of 100,000 wooden telegraph poles , in addition to those deliverable ( some 65,000 ) under the annual contracts given out last autumn for the normal needs of the service . It is a matter for the greatest regret that British forestry has had no share in contri- buting to this supply , especially as the annual requirements of the Post Office in the matter of wooden poles amount to many thousands . But the yield from British sources has been a few hundreds only . In the opinion of the de- partment's expert officers two descriptions of timber stand out before all others as most suitable for the purpose in question , in re spect both of weather - resisting properties and general shapeliness that commonly known as red fir or Scotch pine , and larch , which are both easily and commonly grown in the United Kingdom . Failure to meet the re- quirement of length and thickness combined have , it is said , led to the rejection of much ly any corn on offer . of the British timber offered by growers Foreign barley firm .

The spraying of potatoes for the prevention of disease has abundantly proved its success ; but recent experiments in Lancashire show SPECIAL FARMERS ' UNION REPORT . that the risk of injury to the crops has to be reckoned with . Spraying with Bordeaux mix- ture has been recommended , not merely as a precaution against disease , but also as stimulant to increased production even when no disease existed . In the past few years , however , the use of the Bordeaux mixture has been found to result in rather serious damage to the crops , especially in seasons when no dis- ease occurred . The sprays employed were of normal strength - 12b . of copper sulphate with 6lb , of quicklime , or 2241b . of washing the yield was less from the sprayed than from Boda in 100 gallons of water - but last year the unsprayed plots , and there was positive evidence of the effect of the fungicide in checking growth and in causing damage to the foliage . The injury at some centres proves to have been more pronounced than at others . Trials were also made with dry spraying , but this was as injurious to the leaves as the liquid dressing . These experiences suggest the need for further inquiry into the circum- stances that lead to a harmful effect of the spray upon growth . No doubt the risk of of loss by disease . But it is desirable to ascer- tain whether some other mixture or other treatment will not have an equally strong , pre- ventive effect against disease while remaining harmless to the plants .

WOMEN AND THE PRIESTHOOD . CLAIMS FOR ORDINATION . COLLISION NEAR CARLISLE . TWELVE PASSENGERS INJURED . A railway collision occurred about two o'clock on Sunday morning half a mile to the north of Carlisle Station , and twelve passen- gers received bruises and shock .. A North express from Edinburgh had been A movement has recently been initiated to consider the question of the ordination of women to the priesthood of the Church of England . Preliminary inquiries have been made among women interested in the matter , says the Times , and it is understood that if there is sufficient support a conference of clergymen's wives and women church workers will be held to discuss the possibility of the entry of women into the priesthood . It is ex - stopped owing to the main line being occu- pected that the conference will take place in pied by another train , when a Caledonian ex- London in press from Glasgow dashed into its rear . The the early autumn - probably in September . For various reasons it will be guard's van of the standing train was de- confined to Church - people . railed , and some of the coaches damaged . Of the letters sent out quite fifty replies have already been received in favour both of the conference and of the ordination of women , " women to the priesthood . It is contended that the priesthood is not necessarily a mas culine office , and should not , therefore , be confined to men . One reply was as follows : " Our feeling is that priesthood is a human office , not at all a sexual one , and that since women are human beings it is unreasonable to refuse them an opportunity of holding it merely because they are Another reply goes so far as to anticipate the conse- cration of women Bishops , and it has also been suggested that the ordination of existing deaconesses should be the first step towards the desired end . On the other hand , a num- ber of unfavourable replies have been re- ceived , and many of the women who received letters have answered that the time is not yet ripe for such an experiment . At The feeling within the Church at present seems to be decidedly against such a step . the Representative Church Council two- weeks ago it was decided that women should sit on parochial church councils . A further resolution , however , that women should sit as lay representatives on the Ruridecanal Conferences and of Diocesan Conferences , was rejected by 141 votes to 76. It does not seem likely , therefore , that the more revolu- Ationary suggestion of the ordination of women as priests will at present meet with much sup- port within the Church . LONDON'S OLDEST TWINS . DEATH OF ONE AT NINETY - TWO . On June 3rd last - the King's birthday Messrs . John and James Barker , of Forest Hill , celebrated their ninety - second birth an- niversary . They were London's , oldest twine . Death has now claimed one of them , John having passed away a few days ago . They were born two years after George IV . became King , two years before Lord Byron died . They were born at Woolwich , and lived all their lives within hail of Charing Cross . Mr. John Barker , says the Daily Chronicle , was for many years a rope and sack merchant in the City , retiring from business in 1886. For the last fifteen years he and his brother have been living together in a pleasant house in Forest Hill , devotedly tended by the daughters of Mr. James Barker , Mr. James Barker , who survives his brother , and is still com- paratively strong , was for fifty - three years em- ployed by Messrs . Kesterton , coachbuilders , of Long Acre . JUDGMENT , FOR £ 32,853 . In the King's Bench on Saturday , before Mr. Justice Darling , a motion for judgment in default defence was heard in an action British ARMY RIFLES STOLEN . STAFF SERGEANT IN CUSTODY . A remarkable theft of Army rifles was de- seribed at the Dublin Police - court on Satur day , when Staff - Sergeant Ersell , of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry , and a dealer in guns named Benson were remanded . It was stated that Ersell obtained the key of the armourer's shop of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment in Portobello Barracks , placed five rifles in a bag , and took them to Benson . A military witness said that Ersell told him he was going to see Sir Edward Carson about the rifles . Benson Ersell was detained in custody . MEAT SUPPLY . That the steady rise in the meat prices of the world is likely to be checked is not the opinion that will be formed as a result of the perusal of facts about the great stock- raising countries . It is quite startling to find that Australian stocks diminished during the past year by 9,348,000 , the equivalent of 10 per cent . There is , of course , still an enormous potential grazing area in Argen- tina , and pasture enterprise in that fine country continues to radiate in all directions , from Patagonia to Paraguay . Cattle disease made serious inroads on the herds of Russia and the United States during the past year . Reviewing the situation in the chief meat - ex- porting countries of Europe , it appears that , while cattle have increased by four and a half millions , sheep have declined by twelve millions , and pigs have just held their own . It is estimated that for each hundred in- habitants in those countries in 1910 there were 34 cattle , 49 sheep , and 13 pigs , but by 1911 these figures had been reduced to 33 cattle , 42 sheep , and 12 pigs . South Africa is , however , expected to become a material contributor to the meat supplies of this country in the near future . With diminish- ing flocks at home , the reduction in our over- seas supplies of meat amounted during the past decade to about 1lb . per head . OX WARBLE FLY . of SHEEP . A small supply owing to dipping restric- tions . Mutton generally a better trade . Fat lambs slightly cheaper . Best mutton , 8d . to 9d . per lb .; other qualities , 6d . to 8d . per Ib ; fat lambs , 9d . to 9jd . PIGS . A small supply and a very quiet trade .

Yet nothing has been done in a systematic way to check it , and one man neglecting to fight it on his land may render almost ineffective the great efforts made by his neighbours against it . At the recent meeting of the Central and Associated Chambers of Agriculture Mr. Sadler moved : That , in view of the heavy annual loss sus- tained by cattle owners in consequence of the attacks of the ox warble fly , which loss is preventable , it is desirable that preventive measures to deal with the scourge should be Such The estate of Sir Denis Anson , of 2 , Mitre- court , Temple , E.C. , who was drowned in the Thames through diving from a launch . during a supper party trip , has been pro- visionally sworn at £ 100 , as far as at pre- sent can be ascertained . " He was aged twenty - five , and had no will . Under the will of his uncle , Sir William Anson , who died a few weeks before , he received a legacy of made compulsory on stock owners . £ 8,000 , and had the bulk of Sir William's compulsory measures to consist of the dress- real estate settled on him . ing of the backs of the cattle during the months of October and November with a suitable preparation , in order to kill the eggs which have been laid in the previous summer . " Mr. Sadler said that the experi- ence of Cheshire farmers ' was that the ox warble fly could be destroyed in a perfectly efficient manner . If these measures . were applied compulsorily throughout the whole country the ox - warble fly would be extin- He hoped the step guished in three years . he had suggested would be taken to destroy this virulent pest , which was causing no end It was pointed out , however , that until they were sufficiently well - informed it would be unwise to go in for compulsory measures . An amendment asking the Board of Agricul- ture to make investigations with a view to discovering a remedy was then carried by a large majority . MOTOR TRACTION FOR ARTILLERY . The possibility of substituting motor trac- tion for horses in the transport of artillery was demonstrated during Friday night and Saturday by the West Riding Artillery Terri- torials between Wentworth Woodhouse ( Shef field ) and Grimsby . Lieutenant - Colonel Earl Fitzwilliam was responsible for the scheme . By a simple steel contrivance motor chassis were attached to the guns , which were taken at an average speed of twenty - one miles an hour a distance of nearly eighty miles with- out stop or breakdown . War Office represen- tatives watched the experiment . HUNGER - STRIKER TREATED AS MAD . The Medical Protest Committee publishes an appeal for a prisoner ( unconnected with the Suffragette movement ) who , aggrieved by his sentence , went on hunger - strike , and was thereupon certified as insane and confined in an asylum . He appealed to the Lunacy Com- missioners , who replied that they could not interfere as he was under an order of the Home Secretary . He wrote to the Medical Protest Committee , and has been examined by three of its members . of loss . as other boys have done who began under similar discouraging circumdances . Isaac Watts , " a boy , was constantly scolded for his absolute indifference to books and to active exercise . R. W. Emerson was a hopeless dreamer . Demosthenes , who became the greatest of orators , was a stammering youth . Abraham Lincoln , Charles Dickens , and Andrew Carnegie were the poorest of poor children . " Anthony Trollope , the writer , was hope lessly shy and the butt of his school . Audubon , of bird fame , was put down by all his elders as a fool . Caesar and Napoleon were epileptics . Oliver Goldsmith was a hopeless sloven . The queer boy does not always grow to be the man of no worth . THE Moss Rosa . Heucheras should be lifted , divided , and replanted after they have done flowering . They have thick , fleshy stems or rootstocks , that rise above the ground as they get old , . Choice sweet pea plants from which it is desired to save seed should be plainly marked whilst they are still in good bloom , making a note in a book as to the colours and good points of each individual plant , and giving each a number . Later on these plants might be isolated by pulling up two or three planta on each side of them , thus exposing them to more light and air , which will add much to the chance of getting good vigorous seed from them . " T The sweet pea plants which have been re- tained should then be allowed to grow quite naturally , and will not require any further manure or water , unless they begin to drop their seed - pods in the young state through ex- cessive drought , when the watering - can should be brought into use . All the hardy jasmines may be propagated by means of cuttings of present year's shoots taken during July and August . Select sec tions of shoots 8in . to 4in . long , and insert them firmly in pots in which has been put s compost of three parts loam , one part leaf- mould , and one part silver sand . or , The pots should be stood in a close frame , better still , in a slight hotbed , until rooted , which ought to be in about three weeks ' time in the latter case and a fortnight longer if in a cold frame . These plants may also be increased by layering the lower branches ; simply peg branches into the ground and leave them alone for several months . If layered in March , the young plants may be detached from the parente in autumn . Flowering shrubs will need to be pruned as soon as they have finished blooming . In some cases it is necessary to allow them to assume large proportions , when a judicious thinning of the growth is all that is required . In the case of smaller shrubs growing in limited space the growth must be shortened back . These shrubs must be treated with care and judgment , or they will have the appearance of a clipped hedge . Trees and shrubs must not be allowed , as they often are , to suffer from want of moisture . If not already so treated they should be mulched with some suitable material . Climbing roses may be pruned as soon as flowering is over . In most cases the whole of the flowering wood may be cut away , and the young growths which are pushing from the base of the plants must be trained up to replace the old wood . In this way the young growths will become thoroughly hardened , and , in consequence , better able to stand a severe winter . Spring - sown seedlings of auriculas should now be potted singly in small , clean pots and encouraged to grow freely . Care must be taken to protect the young plants from sun , Repotting of old stock should be carefully attended to , and the small offsets of choice varieties be placed under a handlight , where they are almost certain to take root . or THE 08 & REGA The High - Class Grocers .
