The leading Anarchists of Barcelona on Sunday held a meeting at the Plaza de Toros, at which it was urged that the trial of Anarchists at .Monjuich should be revise 4. Some Cata an Nationalists, with banners, joined the meeting.  The Princess of Wales. has consented to receive purses at 'Marlborough House, probably before the end of June, from the Ladies' Auxiliaries, who render invaluable help to the Lifeboat Saturday Fund in London and throughout the country.  A verdict of ",Suicide while insane" has been returned by a Liverpool coroner's jury in the case of James Burns, an able seaman, who, while an inmate at Brownlow Hill workhouse threw himself through a window in a corridor in which he was allowed to exercise.  An important, meeting of the Filey District Council was held on Tuesday night. Councillor Maley presided over a full attendance of members. On the minutes of the Finance Committee was the annual statement of the town's finances. This showed that the gas and water undertaking, which became the town's property in 1898, and since assisted out of the rates, this year paid its way. The assessable value of Om town has increased no less than £l,lOO. The committee therefore recommend that the general district rate be reduced from ss. to 4s. It is stated that this rate was the lowest for Filey since 1892. The minutes were adopted. Some people speak of Convolvuluses as if ' there were only cale variety of them, and as if they were little better than weeds. Such language shows ignorance. The Ipomcea, or Convolvulus family, is a larger and more varied one than is generally supposed. Convolvulus major, the hest-known kind, a hardy annual, is one of the most useful of summer climbers, and, as it may be had in several beautiful colours, a grand display can be obtained on trellis-work, arbours, or any similar place, at a very trifling cost. The next best known variety is Convolvulus minor, a dwarf hardy annual, very effective for bedding purposes. For greenhouse climbers, I. coceinea (scarlet), I. Learii (blue and violet), and I. rubro ccerulea (sky-blue), are bound to give satisfaction. A perennial variety, I. mauritanicus, is well adapted for rockeries.  Those who have window-boxes will be thinking about some summer-flowering plants for them. The best plan is to grow these in pots, filling up the spaces between with cocoanut ,fibre or tan. One great advantage of this system is that the plants can he changed at will, and that any particular plant that is doing badly, and spoiling the general effect, can be taken away, and a healthier one substituted. An inexpensive, but effective, arrangement is to have a row of yellow Marguerites at the back, wills crimson, scarlet, or pink Geraniums in front. A little later. purple 'Heliotropes might be placed in front of the Marguerites, with pink. flowered Ivy-leaved Geraniums (the old Madame Crousse is still one of the best for this purpose), in front of these again.
