Meeting Of the Car and Czarevna.

The Czarevna of Russia had not seen
the Czarewitcb, her husband, for eight
months when she surprised him lately by
meeting him Unexpectedly at Dunaburg.
She arrives frst-a bright young lady,
resembling her sister, the Princess of
Wales, but looking rather stronger. An
onlooker gives an animated description of
the scene: Though courteous 20 all, the
Czarevna is evidently nervously impatient
for the arrival of her husband. She has
not muchlonger to wait; all at once the
shouting outside begins, her face becomes
radient, and, wrapping herself in the mag
nifcent rotonde OF blue fox fur, he hur-
ries to the platform, amid renewed bur
rahs and clamorous cries Of JOY. Her eyes
are eargerly fixed on the two red globes
of the approaching engine-there Is
shrill whistle, much putting of steam and
the train rolls slowly into the station.
The Czarewitch, little guessing the sur
prise in store for him, descends saluting
as he passes the long file of soldiers drawn
| up on the platform. Suddenly he sees
her; then all else is forgotten-the STA
ton, the soldiers. the crowd of people
and the wife is in her husbands arms,
held in long embrace. Then like roar
of thunder, louder than the last, burst
forth deafening shouts, mixing up with
the national hymn.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
4nsllsn Grain Market.

The Mark Lane Express, says by the
that the state of the wheat and barley on low
lying land is other than extremely critical.
Crops are weak, discolored and rotten in
some places from the prolonged immersion,
and even on light hands the harvest prospects
are two or threesacks per acre worse than
month ago. 1.-THE rain speedily ceases, and
long spell of dry weather succeeds, some,
but not all the damage may be repaired.
Such an unfavorable change in the prospects
of the English wheat crop would once have
had marked effect upon prices, but SO in
dependent has this country become of indi-
genous grain that the reverse has actually
been the case, and values have receded to 2
shillings all over the kingdom, both for En-
glish and foreign produce. The immediate
causes of this depression are the enormous
shipments from America, with the splendid
prospects of an abundant crop this year and a
feeling that our differences with Russia will
be practically adjusted. The result is general
stagnation of trade, which has moved within
narrow limits throughout the week. Wheat
and maize are only salable at a shilling re-
duction, and even then only in retail quanti-
ties. Quotations are now at peace level. 1t
is not impossible that the revival of a contin-
entail demand may occur to rally prices some
what against the depressing effect of heavy
prospective supplies from America and Rus
sia Sales of English wheat last week were
1856 quarters, at 81 shillings I'd, against
29,573 quarters at Is shillings cd last year.

Killing Up Potatoes.

I think that killing up in the way it is
practiced is, as general rule, Injurious,
except on very wet land. If land is cul
tivated properly, and to the right depth,
I claim that the crop where no killing
up in the usual way is done will be near
ly double that hllled up, because those
hilled mp do not receive the proper
amount of moisture. Should there be
abundant rain to suit potatoes planted
on the level, it would scarcely reach
those in hills. Modern hills are built up.
as if to ward off all the moisture possible,
and compel the poor potato TO exc out an
existence in heap of dust. I have often
wondered, when opening out hill, how
the potatoes grew at all. My experience
In potato growing is that the proper way
to plant is on the level, and then after
this is done mulch the ground well with
some manure, to save as much moisture
as possible in the ground. Sometimes it
is necessary to draw up little earth
where the tubers are pressing up through
the ground, but / would only put on
sufficient to cover. In drills / would
plant one good seed-eye every fifteen or
eighteen inches, and in hills two or three
eyes at the most. As general rule.
think potatoes are planted too thick, and
too much seed put into the ground, and
very frequently We find people reserving
all the small trash of the pit or bin for
seed, instead of using the medium sized
| potatoes.-COr. Country Gentleman.

indian Outbreak Feared.

The subject of Indian troubles is a
source of great attention at the war depart
ment. The secretary of war and the general
of the army have been in consultation with
reference thereto. and in the brief cabinet
council on the 4th inst. Mr.. McCrary indicated
to the President and members of the cabinet
his views and that of military commanders re-
portingto the secretary of war regarding the
seriousness of the situation. Army officers are
convinced that there is danger ahead. Itris
the opinion at the war department that the
army force is far from a sufficient number to
accomplish all necessary to prevent outbreaks,
but reliance is placed upon the support troops
will receive from fronriersmen. Troubles on
the Rio Grand just reported cause as much ap-
prehension as the Western Indian outbreak.

Assassination In Japan.

Okubo Tossimitoi, senior imperial
councillor and minister of the home depart
ment, was assassinated Mayal4 at Yokohama,
Japan He was attacked by six men while
riding from his residence to the palace at s
o'clock A. NJ. The murdererS selected an un-
frequented part Of the route, cut down his
horse, killed the driver and slaughtered their
victim as he sprang from the carriage. The
body was freightfully mutilated, the face and
neck covered with wounds, and one hand cut
off. The assassins Immediately proceeded TO
the palace and gave themselves up. They
proved to be fanatical followers of the late
rebel Saigo, although not from his part of the
country. Two of them wrote letter and
sent it to a newspaper before setting out, de-
elaring their reasons. They say Okubo is
selfish and tyrannieal, preferring despotism
to liberty, overrides law at pleasure, is arbi-
trary and proud, wastes the public money, ex-
cludes patriots from share in the govern
ment, thus exciting rebellion, and fails to sus.
tain the dignity of the empire towards other
nations Therefore they kill him. The
seventh accomplice surrendered himself.

Christiern and Yasa. i.

It was at late hour in the evening of
the 10th of November, 1920, that page,
clad in the gorgeous velvet costume worn
by the attendants of King Christiern II.
of Denmark, aroused the chief jailer of
the gloomy prison of Copenhagen, where
distinguished personages that incurred
the ill-will of His Majesty were confined,
from bis slumbers, and said to him, in an
imperious tone:

young count Gustavus Vasa." ..~g,

Has not His Majesty strictly crdered me

!" You low-born cur" returned the
HANDSOME page, haughtily. "Here is a
document, signed by Christiern the Sc
cond himself, authorizing me to see
Gustavus Vasa."
The iailer muttered few unintelli-
gible words. Then he took a burning wax
taper and led the way to door, which
he opened with one of the large KEYS
from the bunch fastened to his belt.
That door opened upon narrow and
dark corridor, lined on both sides with
small, damp dungeons. where the cruel
and vindictive Christian confined.
THE VICTIMS OF HIS HOSTILITY.
At last the .jailer stood still in front of
one of the last dungeons. g
He opened it, leaving the key with the
whole bunch in the door.
In the uncertain light the royal page

who sat on stone bench, leaning against

The prisoner rose to his feet, but the
chain that was fastened to heavy iron
ring round his body was so short that he
was unable to hasten up to the page, as
was his frs. impulse for he had evidently
recognized the lad, who put his finger
upon his lips as If to appeal to him not to
say anything.
