diplomatists. says the London Specta-
tor. II is clear that the struggle In
the far east. though it is not yet over,
has developed unrest in Russia, of a
dangerous kind. and all instructed
western men are watching the direc-
ton which the danger may take with
authorizations at once eager and per-

Europe itself which any radical change
in Russia would involve. A paralysis

preventing the rotting of fence posts is
said to be practiced by French farm
ers. The posts are piled in tank and
the whole thickly covered with quick
lime, which is gradually Stacked with
water. Another plan used IN this
country, is to char the posts to th,.
depth of half an inch. and then dip
them in coal tar, but the coal tar
should he SO used as to extend above
