not TOR war mt least In demanding an imme-
date peace. Certainly if Russia went SO
far in Europe and to threaten CONSTANT
nople others besides England would be
troubled, and it is scarcely possible that a
movement by England made with that re-
gard would be without support.
But this movement in Asia Minor is quite
another story. 1t insinuates q wedge be-
tween England and all other Powers. Who
in Europe, save England, cares what Russia
may do in Asia Minor? Not Austria, nor
Italy, nor France, nor Germany; for they
have no interests in that part of the world
which they would assert even to the extent
of an inquiry as to her purposes. But Eng
land must see in that movement peril to
her supremacy in the East even more direct
and immediate than the seizure of Constan-
tinople by Russia; for it is with regard to her
routes to the East that her fears for Constan-
tinople are mostly excited.
With the valley of the Euphrates in Rus
sian possession and the Syrian coasts how
safe would the Suez Canal be in the compli-
cations Of the future? With the coasts of
the Persian Gulf in the same hands England
would never deem herself safe in the East
without powerful fleet in the Indian Ocean;
and if English suspicious in the past have
been we'll founded, that Russia worked upon
Asiatic populations in spirit inimical to
English tranquility in the East, certainly
her power toward that end will be greatly
increased in this nearer and more fertile
field.
Therefore the danger that the Gladstone
resolutions contemplate is real There are
so many reasons in fact why an English
government cannot disregard the fate Of the
Ottoman Empire; there are, viewing the
case from the ordinary standpoints Of gov
eminent, occasions SO related to the COM
mercial greatness of the country that in the
absence of an imperative mandate to the
contrary from the representatives Of the
people no Ministry would dare to abstain
from such On assertion Of Englands cause
in the East rs would inevitably make her q
party to the war. Indications are not want
ing that the government recognizes in this
regard the obligations of its position, and,
while conscious of the difficulties made by
the complication of politics with morality,
will rather face the odium Of war with an
unsavory ally than the odium that would
ultimately be esteemed greater of having
failed to meet force with force at the point
where those interests are imperilled, which
it is their duty to defend. Will the ex-
hibition of the opinion Of the country in
the House of Commons modify this DISPOSE
ton of the government?

A Home for stray Dogs.

Mr.. Bergh's proposition for the founda-
ton of home for stray animals, to be
established under the auspices of his society,
is good one and involves measure Of
practical benevolence toward the lower ami
mails that seems worthy Of every encourage
ment. In support of this proposition the
proceeds of the dog show for to-day will be
given by the society under whose auspices
this admirable exhibition was organized.
An institution Of this sort, we'll adminis-
tered, will be q public benefit; for the
worthless and wretched ours that now infest
of value that may fall into the hands of the
custodians will be properly cared for and
disposed of in some quarter where there
may be demand for good dogs.

TIE WEATHER.-The barometer continues
low on the North Atlantic coast particularly
southcastward of Halifax. Light rains have
fallen all over the northeastern region and Mid
die States, with brisk to very high winds in
Nova Scotia and the St. Lawrence Valley. In
the Northwest the area of low pressure still re-
mains west Of the Mississippi, with rain along
the Missouri Valley. The pressure continues
low on the Pacific coast, but the winds Indicate
that the centre of the depression is well adj
vanccd eastward into the Rocky Mountain region.
Tho influence of this advancing storm centre
Is felt even on the South Atlantic and Gulf coosts
whence the indraught winds are blowing toward
IL. In the central districts from the Gulf to tho
lakes fair weather prevails. Tho highest
pressure is over the upper lake region. Tho
temperature is high ON the Gulf coast and in the
Northwest, but somewhat lower ut other points.
1t is very variable over the lower lakes and
Ohio Valley. Tho weather in New York to-day
will DO cool and clearing, followed BY u rise Of
temperature.

TIE STEAMSHIP CITY OF BRUSSELS is still
among the unreportcd vessels and our shipping
reports do not announce the arrival of any ships,
either on this sido in European ports, that
has spoken her mt sea. This latter fact may
account for the absence of any news of the pill
'grims' ship. If the City of Brussels is seriously
disabled many days must elapse before we can
reasonably expect to hear of her. The course
taken by ships in such a condition depends n
good deal on the prevailing winds. She may
have driftcd far to the northward or southwark,
out of the usual track of steamers and sailing YES
sels and be struggling ahead against adverse
winds. One thing is certain, that her pas
scngcrs and crew cannot starve, for an
immense quantity of fresh beef preserved
by ice is among her cargo, destined for
the English markets. The rise il, the insur-
ancc premium is natural consequence of the
slips detention, and il small in comparison to
what WINS paid on the City Of Boston under SINH
lar circumstances. 1t must be remembered that
If the City of Brussels is twenty days out she
was twenty-threc days ut sea under more favor
able circumstances u previous voyage. We
print to-day the latest particulars regarding tho
missing vessel.

ca-a:.:: ACID .:- Insects.

\ correspondent of the GIriHcr's
Monthly, giving his experience in exier-
minating insects with cArbolic acid.
SAYS:
Ny plan FOR preparing is a. follows:
| obtain crude carbolic acid; use il in
this form because it is stronger and bet
ter for the purpose, and costs but very
little (about p cents per gallon, l think.
pour quantity of this dark crude acid
into quantity OF good, strong, domestic
soft soap, stir well together and allow
i, to stand for a few hours. then test
the compound by mixing little OF il
with soft water. If too much acid has
been added, oily particles of carbolic
acid will be observed floating on the
surface. This shows that more acid has
been put in than the soap will incorpo-
rate or "cut," and more soap should he
added to balance the excess of acid. No
more definite rule can be given, n 30
much depends Oh the soap. Two or
three tablespoonfulls of the acid to a
quart OF soap may be first tried. pre-.
fer TO make ii as strong OF acid as the
soap will perfectly cut. A very little
practice will enable any one to COM
pound i. correctly. The refined acii
may be used when the crude is not at
hand. When prepared as above, make
a moderately strong suds, and apply
with syringe or sponge. In using on
very delicate plants, should any fear be
felt for the plants, they can be rinsed of
after few minutes.
Ny first and eminently successful use
of this compound was some years since,
on block of young cherry trees, some
80, 900 in number. The black aphis
'.came down like wolf on the fold, -
only 'they came not in single spies, but
in whole battalions. 1t soon became
an interesting question as to who was
proprietor of this particular block of
trees, myself or the "bug Ethiopian
A disin.erested observer, of judicial
turn of mind. judging from the general
appearance of things and the very at
home air assumed by the bugs, would
have said they had the best case. He
would, at least, have been compelled to
admit they had "nine points of the law,
(possession) in their favor. never
saw the like before. The trees were
alive with aphis. The only scarce thing
ON the trees were leaves, there being
scarcely enough to afford standing room
for all the dusky guests. However, not
being a convert to the doctrine of 'squat-
ter sovereignty" l declared war, and
failing to decrease the nun Der by ordin-
airy means, compounded soft soap and
carbolic acid, and with single applica-
ton exterminated the enemy.

Sugar Beet Culture.

Mr.. Burnett Landreth has the follow.
remarks on this subject in Phia.
delphia paper. which are perfectly true.
but do not include the fact that for some
reason or other no attempt to establish
the manufacture of beet sugar in this
country-and several have been made
with every apparent requisite in i'm
ported machinery and experience-has
hitherto met with such success as to af-
ford any inducement whatever for the
repetition of the experiment.
The production of beet sugar in 1875
was ,3l7 ,623 tons-a quantity equal to
sixty-one per cent. of the cane sugar
manufactured in the world. The inter-
nal revenue tax upon European beet
sugar amounted in 1919 TO forty mil
lions of dollars. The average produc-
ton of beet roots is twelve tons per
acre, yielding a fraction over one ton of
sugar. In Germany the average pro-
portion extracted is 81 per cent. The
residuum from the press is two and
half tons from every twelve tons of
roots used. and is valued at about five
dollars ton.
Experiments made in this country
have established the fact that as maDv
bushels per acre can be raised here as
in Europe, and there can be no doubt
the saocharine percentage can be made
as great, while the freedom from inter-
nal revenue (Which is collected in all
the States of Europe where beet sugar
is made) would be in Itself profit, fifty
three dollars an acre revenue in some
cases being paid. The fa:tening of cat
tie upon the cake or cellular residuum
from the processes is exceeding profita-
Die and stimulates the production of hay
and grain, these being necessary adj
iupets. The manure, carefully saved
under a system Of stall-feeding, is re-
,urned 10 the lands from whence the
roots were taken, and with judicious
anplication of commercial manures the
fertility of the soil is annually enhanced.
Fattening stock, it will be thus seen,
becomes a prominent feature in all dis
riets where the beet-sugar industry is
and with the new markets

saw3us. for Bedding CT MANURE.

OF late we have seen several articles
in the PioUghman approving and disap-
