ASPARAGUS

There is still time to plant as
paragus, and room in every city
back yard for the bed. 1t comes
when vegetables are scarce. 1t
is of no more trouble than flow
ers. 1t supplies the table with
one of the most delicious of veg
etables, and, before even the
flowers have grown up, forms
shrub, equaled only in delicate
beauty by the maiden hair fern.
1t is a plant with recognized
medicinal value. In fact, the
physicians were the first to in
troduce the plant for human
consumption. There are many
ways to cook and serve it. 1t is
not one of the cheap vegetables,
but there is no reason why every
family should not have it, from
their own bed, as daily dish
through the entire asparagus
season.
From fifty to one hundred
plants will furnish a good bed
for the average family. The
plants can be purchased from
the nurserymen at from one to
two cents each. Add to this 4
cart load of manure, ar nifty
cents. several hours of work be
fore breakfast or after work and
YOU will have an asparagus bed
that will supply the family IN
another year, and for many other
years, with a vegetable that Is
liked by you and is healthy for
all. The plants can be planted
as a border to a walk, or the bed
placed so as to make a screen
for the garbage can. The florists
use asparagus to give an extra
touch to flowers. The shrub
lasts until late in the fall, and
can be gathered for decorating
in the home without hurting the
bed.
In arranging the city garden
be sure to include the queen OF
vegetable-shrubs, asparagus.

COMPROMISE ON HOME :.
RULE BILL SEEMS NEAR

been before. There exists
strong belief in parliament cir
cles that thecenferenccs between
the leaders of the two great par
ties which had been unsuccess-
full in reaching any agreement
last Autumn, soon would be re-
sumed. The House of Com
mons discussed the, ulster crisis
again when it wound up the two
days debate on Austen Cham
berlain's motion for a judicial
inquiry into the governments
plot" to crush the Ulster Civ
enanters. The motion which
was virtually vote of censure
on the cabinet was eventually
rejected by a party vote of 344
to 264.
An atmosphere of great SOL
emnity and restraint overhung
the house throughout the de-
bate. The growing belief that
civil war in Ireland is reality
which cannot be escaped if the
Irish Home rule bill becomes
law as it at present stands
seems to have influenced mem
bers on both sides of the House
as it has the newspapers sup
porting both parties. During
the past week the press of both
opinions has become more, con-
cillatory in tone than it has been
at any previous stage of the dis
cussion.
Sir Edward Carson whose
leadership of the Ulster rebel
lion makes him the dominating
figure of the opposition side of
the house accepted the overtur-
es made by Winston Spencer
Churchill, first lord of the adj
miralty, who had inv ted Sir
Edward Corson to attempt to
COMPROMISE the home rule ques-
ton on a federal basis. Sir Ed
ward reinterated his destination
of home rule and repeated his
offer that if Ulster were exclud-
ed from the bill until this par
lament shall determine the siS
years period which Premier AS
quith had offered he would sub
nit the proposal to the people
of Ulster.
Sir Edward in his reply to Mr.
| Churchill's invitation declared
| all he wanted for Ulster wa
such terms as would conserve
the dignity of the Ulster mer
and their civil and relations free
dom. He concluded that II
case the home rule bill passed /
would be his earnest prayer tina
the government of the south an'
west of Ireland would prove 81
successful that it might be t.
| listers interest to join AM
form a United Ireland.
Premier Asquith concluded
the debate with an eloquen
| speech which contained tn
statement that his offer of tn
temporary exclusion of the u
ser counties from the operation
of the home rule bill for perio'
of six years remained open. II
said he considered Sir Edwar'
Carson's statement most i'm

BY LIGHT or THE EARTH
somber Regions Of the Sky ilIuninat-

Own Planet.

It has been remarked that the globu-
lar fight from the whole sky is su.
perior to the sum of all the quantities
OF light sent to us separately by the
stars. Even the most somber regions
seem lit by diffused light which truly
has its origin in the terrestrial atmos-
phere. 1t is the light of the earth
Different people have endeavored to
evaluate the intensity OF this earth
light and have found that it is of the
order Of one-tenth part OF the intensity
OF a star of the first order OF magni-
tude
It is attributed. at least partially, to
a permanent aurora borealls which is
revealed by the characteristic green
ray which is observed on obscure
nights in the whole heavens There is
probably something else; the contin.

phere by meteoric swarms and cosmic
dust may also illuminate. The mass

NOT HARD TO TEST DIAMOND
Simple Methods by Which the Genu-
Inc May BE Distinguished From
the Artificial.

Marvelously beautiful as are the lmi-
tation diamonds OF today. an expert
enced eve never mistakes them for the
genuine article.
The average person. however. can
easily be deceived, and the following
simple tests should assiet him when
striking bargain. The facets on a
real diamond are rarely so regular as
those of really good limitations. With
the latter the greatest care has to be
taken in grinding and, polishing, so
that there shall be no regularity in
the reflections OF the light
A file cannot scratch real diamond,
but quickly Injuries an imitation. A
sapphire Is the next hardest stone to
diamond and is an even better test
than the file
Thrust diamond ring into bowl
OF water and the stones will glitter
through the liquid, but an imitation
stone loses all its brilllancy under wa
ter. II you look through diamond
at black dot on piece OF white pa
per you will see one black speck quite
clearly. II the dot is blurred or null
tiplied the stone is probably not gem
uine.
Place one drop Of water upon the
face Of diamond, touch 1t with a
point Of pencil-the drop viii keep
its globule form and the stone remain
dry. II the brilliant is an imitation

The terrors of FIRE at sea may
be mitigated somewhat by an appa-
ratus which has been devised to assist
sailors in extinguishing fres that may

smoke often makes 1t practically inn
possible for unprotected fire lighters
to reach the yic'aity OF blaze. The
apparatus, which looks like diving
