The joys occasioned yesterday by

that the engagement was between
two old ladies, and they our most
active and efficient church workers,
added no little to the concern with
which all rushed out to see the
fight. 1t was indeed a fight to the

and fight, which is mortifying in

THE WORLDS PRODUCTION OF VAN
LILA, l91l-l2.

As a supplement TO recent articles dealing
with vanilla, in he agricultural NeCS, Vols.
IN, PIP. 295 and 319, and XI, p. 148, the
following has been taken from information
supplied by Mr.. j.. r. Jackson, A. L. s.:
with regard to the worlds production in
the L season the quantity is estimated
at 500 tons, MADE up as follows: Bourbon
IS tons, Seychelles ID tons, Comoro and
Mayotte 70, Madagascar 60, Nossi-Be 10,
Mauritius, Java, FIJI and Ceylon Is, Guade-
loupe and Martinique 1G, Mexico 145, Tahiti
1875 tons.
1T is stated in a recent number of the
chemist and Druggist: "the total yield shows
very satisfactory dimensions, notwithstand-
ing the shrinkage in the Seychelles and
Tahiti returns, but rs twice in succession no
stocks of consequence were left to be carried
forward into a new season, the market main
tanned it's high level subject, of course, to
Tie inevitable fluctuations which II passing

THE PROBLEM OF ULSTER.

Though the Home Rule Bill is for the
present buried and forgotten, Ulster, to the
great annoyance and discomfort of the Gov
eminent, refuses to be bauished from the
political arena. 1t is wholly right and ineVl-
table that this should be 50. The Govern
ment need to be reminded every day OF their
lives that their principal measure, the meas
ure on which their fortunes most OF All de-
pend, meets with an opposition which is dlt-
ferent not only in degree but III kind from
that which is excited by ordinary legislation.
The regrettable troubles in the Belfast ship
yards now appear to be happily ended. Bat
acts of sporadic and Irresponsible laWless-
ness, however regrettable III themselves, how
ever disquieting as a symptom OF the tension
in the air, and however lpgenlously exploit
cd for partisan purposes, are as nothing com
pared to the more serious menace behind
There have been many hints and indications
that the position in Ulster will not remain
stationary during the coming recess, that,
before Parliament meets again, events will
have taken place which will compel the at
@tention of the Government. We have no
knowledge of what the events i'll question
may be, no opinion as to whether the CON
tenpiuted move may be wise or foolish, le-
gisiElate or illegitimate. But, locking onIy
10 the obvious probabilities OF the case, we
have repeatedly warned the Government
that they cannot hope to continue Tor u pc
rod Of two years to trifle with the dearest
interests of a great communl for then own
party advantage, trusting to good fortune to
provide a way outssat the end OF the allotted
time. Great communities, which are threat
ened in THEN liberties and IN everything
which concerns their identity and their
most cherished traditions, are not IN the
habit Of sitting still and allowing the enemy
to draw his tolls around them before they
begin to struggle and the Government need
not be surprised if they are compelled, much
sooner than they would themselves have
chosen, to decide how f@r they are IN earnest
with their gpolicy of Home Rule. Are they
ready definitely to commit themselves, III
the name of liberty and self government, to
the course of imposing their Bill on a com
munity of a million of people at the point OF
the Bayonet That is the question which
they have known from the first they would
sooner or later nave to face and now 1T
seems possible that they may have to lace ii
much sooner than they expected or desired.
What is to be said of q Prime Minister
who in presence Of such a situation has
nothing better to offer than debating plau-
Bibilitiea ? Mr.. AsQUITH is marching with
eyes resolutely closed to the edge of a pre-
cipice, and seems far from unlikely to earn n
place in history with the GRENvILLEs and
NoRrHs and othor wreckers of Empire.-Ibid.

would, however, coincide closely with that
at which the great flights of moths were
recorded in 1911.
If, on the other hand, the severe out
breaks of cotton worm in these islands, in
certain years, are to be accounted for by in
vasions OF moths, it is difficult to understand
why the island Of St. Vincent should have
escaped and not have experienced a single
attack during the past ten years, when in
the Grenadines, St. Lucia, and Barbados
there have been, during this time, several
seasons in which this pest has been present
in enormous numbers .-Ibid.
