White Lead Is Condemned.

The French government is now bringing
to the front a question in which every
British householder has an interest. 1t is
that of the use of white lead and of other
compounds of lead in house painting. A
parliamentary commi sSion is Investigating
the question, and NJ Breton, an expert
delegated to report upon the whole ques-
ton, has just presented the result of his
studies in volume which entirely and
emphatically condemns the use of white
lead in the mixing of colors. All pig
ments compounded with lead carbonates
are highly poisonous to the workmen and
to the occupants of houses NJ. Breton
urges white zinc as better in every way.

declares that the absolute suppression of

The Cars Decree.

The New York Outlook does not
expect much of the Cars proclama-
ton. It says:
We publish in full on another page
the edict of the Gar respecting reli-
gious liberty and political reform in
Russia. His successful project for
the establishment of the Hague Tri-
bunal will lead Americans to regard
this edict with favorable p~redisposi-
ton. They will be inclined to hope
from it an end to religious persecu-
ton, an imitation of some measure
of local self-government, and a furth-
er enfranchisement of the serfs. We
wish very much that a careful read
ing of the edict justified any such in
depreciation. We are compelled to
conclude that it does not, that the
decree is important rather for what
it indicates than for what it prom
Uses. As a symptom of political and
social unrest it is significant; as an
earnest of religious or political re-
form it is unimportant. It does not
order anything that is of real value,
o mark the beginning of a new
era, nor indicate any important
change in the policy pursued by the
Russian Government since the death
of Alexander II. What ge~nuineness
of desire for reform it may indicate
in the Gar we do not undertake to
determine; but measured by it's actual
or prospective effects it is little more
than a bureaucratic attempt to pla-
cate, by means of vague promises and
trivial concessions, a fully aroused
public sentiment in favor of liberal
reforms.

outlook at present is good. It is

appearance of the trees at this time,
but conditions are favorable for a
very large crop.-The strawberry
crop is now in full bloom and with a
continued good season from now on
shipments will be at least ten days
earlier this spring. The mild winter
has left the plants in a healthy state
and this condition is bound to pro-
duce more than an average crop. The

are very jubilant.
