Washington. Feb 17.-Baron Rosen
and Ambassador Des Planches, two
we'll known diplomats in the American
capital from Russia and Italy. respec-
lively. are likely to return to their ma
tive land and be replaced by others
more acceptable to their respective
governments.
The proposed shift in Russia's rep
resentative at this time has awakened
more than usual interest. especially In
view of the so-called Japanese situa-
tlon There are a number OF other
changes scheduled In high diplomatic
circles, but all OF these other pending
changes are eof lesser significance
beside the change in the Russian en-
baasy.
Baron Roseu's troubles date from
the DAYS before the sailing OF the bat
t!eship feet. The Russian govern
ment, with the example Of Rojestyen-
sky's crukc and diaastnous ending in
mind. was especially desirous Of hay-
ing trained officers with the United
States feet. Accordingly. Baron Ro-
sen was instructed by st. Petersburg
tn make overtures to this government
with a view OF getting one or more
naval observers aboard.
Realizing the futility OF putting such
4 request. the ambassador cndeayored
to have his government Withdraw
from its attitude. his representations
resulting in peremptory orders TO
make the request He did so. with the
inevitable result Everything was done
to save Baron Rosen's face, but ne
felt the rebuff keeny.

TNTENSIVE CULTURE.
French Market Gardeners at the
st. Cloud Far.
Paris, September II.

Paris, September ii.
Intensive culture as practised in France and
more particularly in the Paris area has reached
a degree of perfection that places the native
market gardener at the head of his profession
in Europe The Partisan, though expert in
preserving or conserving fruit and vegetables
never needs to either; his table is spread all
the year round with the fresh fruits of the
earth brought to maturity by the gardener just
ahead of the season. The acres of forcing beds
that lie north, south and east of Paris not only
supply this capital with its early garden prod
uce. but export to other countries the aspara-
gus mushrooms tomatoes and other dainties so
highly priced by epicures. Yet in Paris. at
least while other countries ring with his ex-
ploits and praises. the native gardener is very
much neglected by his public. At the single
annual gardeners show his wares are invariably
placed in out of thew corner, where
half the visitors never find them at all, and he

England intensely interested in his dOings.
and his system is being adopted as yielding in
comparaby the best results
Those who are interested in his operations had
a shcck of surprise when they made their
nual pilgrimage to the fair at pretty st. Cloud
which always the nearest Sunday to

the same rancid fat, the same roundabouts with
the same ear splitting music, the same lottery

carry away. Incomprehensible for a foreigner
