INDIA PROMISES TO CAUSE
a REIGN OF TERROR.

The assassination of Lieut.. Col.
Wyllie and DR.. Lalcaca by an Indian
may mean nothing more than
that a fanatic has murderously acted,
or it may point TO an uprising In In
dia or a reign of terrorism which
will shake the foundations Of British
supremacy In India
An Indian philosopher. whose homo
Is Calcutta, was in ogden two years
ago. In referring to the sorrows of
his countrymen, he declared that with
in three years there would be an up
rising in his country which would
startle England. He was one OF a
largo number OF natives who were
preaching the doctrine of terrorism.
He said the Irish had forced some
measure of justice from the British
government by Fenianlsm and his
country would do the same, or at
least draw the attention of the world
to the appalling condition in India
under British rule. He was question
ed as to how the revolutlonists would
proceed to assert themselves, whether
by agitation alone or violence added,
but he declined to go further into the
revolutionary program
This may be the beginning Of well
organized plan to strike terror into
the minds of the British officials IN
India and the English people at homo,
in the hope of forcing Parliament to
grant some form of home rule to
India
If this assassination is followed up
by more murders, England will be
compelled TO increase its army IN In
dia and rule with the bayonct-a cam
paign of military rule for which the
British government is at present poor
ly prepared.

GROWS ASPARAGUS IN TUBES
Frenehman's Manner OF Forcing Vege-
table Means Work, But Il Pro-
duces Results.

For some time a French agricultu-
rist, NJ. BOuyer Fonteneau. has been
trying new method OF cultivating
asparagus. which they grow and cook
SO well i'm France.
Starting from the principle that all
cultivated vegetables. in order to OBJ
tain the best results. ought TO be
grown under the same conditions that
they choose for themselves when grow
ing wild. NJ. BOuyer-FOnteneau does
not allow the banking that is usually
done. which he considers harmful
1t is easy to understand that a root
OF asparagus buried a foot or more
in the ground will push stalks towards
the surface for air and light. without
which it would become anaemic. or
rot. 1t is better then. to bury it only
about quarter or third as deep
without banking and as soon as the
head appears 10 place over it a tube
OF pottery. two or two and oue-half
inches i'm diameter and about eight
inches long. filed with earth.
The asparagus pushes up through
this tube sheltered from the light.
which is necessary. if it is TO be white
When il comes ont az the tor il is
simple matter TO take away the tube
and cut the stalk with the greatest
easy and without any risk of hurting
the root or the other shoots.
NJ. Bouyer-Fouteueau states that as
paragus thus treated comes TO matur-
ity nearly month in advance of that
banked in the old way. This is cas-
lily explained by the fact that the heat
of the sun acts more quickly on a
root near the surface of the ground
than on one buried deeply. Besides.
the stalk once in the tube grows fast
er than in the ground.
