MORE BROKEN WINDOWS. -SUFFRAGETTES AND MR. ASQUITH. On Frday, as the result of a, scene at the jHwnse of Lords, Emily Davison, a teacher, was ..charged at Bow-street with wilfully breaking -■ £ m& panes of glass in the Crown Office at the House of Lords. A constable stated that at eight p.m. on ■ "ITiursdav he was at the Chancellor's Gate en- t ance to the House of Lords when the prisoner me up to him and said that she had broken two panes of glass in one of the windows at the LrowB;. Office. On going there he found two 'Iwokeh partes, and in the room lie saw two large f»iex'-e* of chalk. Attached to one of the pieces .t chalk was a label bearing the words "To t JMr. Asmiith. Give full facilities for the new Bill for Women's Suffrage." A label on the second, piece of chalk read: "To Mr. Asquith. Xlrtd1gt;Y''t91tt},¡â'ins:ûn;"Ire ;jfW. n Mr. Muskctt (prosecuting) said it was clear --that the word" not" had been accidentally „ .omitted. The prisoner told the magistrate that she .tri.)ke the windows deliberately. When she iie&rd that the Prime Minister had refused to .,give, full facilities to the Women's Suffrage Bill, Without consulting the Women's Social and 'JPoliti eal Union, she broke tire window as a pro- IIf, "likely to be understood." lwr. Muskett said the pris<»er was the lady ■"Who was found in the ventib tiug shaft of the 'House of Colinitionq in April last. Mr. Curtis Bennett fined the prisoner £5, and ordired lier to pay the costs, 7s. 6d. or, in default, one month. The fine and damages were afterwards paid a lady, and when the prisoner was told by -'tbe gaoler that she was at liberty to go she §»r«tested in an emphatic manner.

STRUGGLE IN AN ORCHARD. An exciting struggle occurred in the early Ifcmrs of Monday morning at Stone, near jDartfofd, between an alleged burglar and "Mr. F, II, Walkcr, clerk to the Parish i'ouwiil. At about three o'clock Mrs. Walker was (I by a noiee in the bedroom, and slipcovering a man in the room awakened her inttsband, and the intruder fled. Mr. Walker got .mt in pursuit, catching up a pair of 141"-g on- the way. He overtook the intruder in art orchard and a wild struggle followed. Walker was slashed about the hands and Afu, with a knife. Two other men then ap- fwared, but the supposed burglar drew a IIffwond knife and managed to keep them at fJity, And eventually escaped. Later in the «lay„ however, he was, found in a wood by a and another violent struggle took jpiace, but this time the man was secured Aiid tat-eit' into custody. He gave the name ,4.;f Froderick West.

WEATHER AND THE CROPS. From all districts there are reports of au abundant hay crop, and sunshine is much needed for the cutting and carting. Before the break in the weather the harvesting of clover and mixed seed crops had proceeded very satisfactorily, and a considerable quan- tity of meadow hay had been secured. But since then not much has fteen done, and if the miliare-ded crop is to iulhl its Ilronuse, sunuK'r weather is 118V" urgent. There is a good deal of uncertainty as to the probable market value of the hay, but there are hopeful indications for growers. Last year's liav harvest was thin, and con- siderably smaller than the previous years's, and very little is now left in store. So that though a total yield equal to, or even greater than that of 1909 may be gathered, there should be a fair demand. If the recent heavy rains have clii-Acked bay-making, they have been most welcome I to nearly all other crops, particularly roots and pastures, and a great improvement in them is noticeable, which, under present conditions, promises to be maintained. Wheat in most districts is backwprcl, an(I rather thin. The cooler weather has lessened the de- I mand for strawberries, and growers are dis- appointed at the prices which fruit of ex- cellent quality has been making. The heavy storms did considerable damage, although the moisture was needed, and if hotter j weather does not eonur again soon a bad year, from the growers' point of view, is ex- pected.

SCOTCH SOLICITOR SENTENCED. On Monday at Edinburgh, F. Lamond Lowsort, once a well-known solicitor, came up for sentence, having previously pleaded guilty to a charge of forging a will of the I late Jessie of Alyth, Perthshire. I Lowson some months ago sentenced to five years' penal servitude for sending threatening letters to an Edinburgh public official. Mr. McClure, K.C., addressing the judge | in mitigation, said that Jessie Skeen, while in America, made about £ 600. On return- j ing to this country she intimated her intern- J tiofi of leaving her money to Miss Margaret Skeen, her natural aunt, but died suddenly } without having executed the will. As -tl)e tie was not one recognised by jaw the aunt I succeeded to nothing. The aunt went to prisoner, who instructed a typist to write out the will appointing Miss Margaret j Skeen executrix and legatee. There was no copying of any signature, and, it was not done for personal gain. Lowson's object was to try in a half-insane manner to rectify the misfortune caused by the sudden death of Jessie Skeen so that her old rela- tives might get the money which she in- tended to leave them. Lord Dundas sent Lowson to penal servi- tilde for seyen years.

:1. BIRRELL ON THE CONFERENCE. The speech delivered by Mr. Augustine .i.H ai Bristol en Friday night was of special lufctwst, aa it was the first public utterance by a member of the Conference on the Constitu- tion*! issue. Mf. Birrell began by a reference to the many subjects engaging the public jKinf.1, and proceeded to say that on top of all aA if they were not enough, c-aine the •iSMne 80S to the propriety, wisdom, and necessity making a change in supreme law-making -power of this realm. The death, of King Edward necessarily en- Jaikd a postponement of the political fight", and it, h. well that. the breathing space gfiould be utilised as well as possible. He quite agreed that if there was a Conference-and he J»Mered there was—it should be the subject of .AwnAible. remarks. He did not know by whom ,i remarks would be read and criticised, a.nd therefore he must be reticent. At least he .&,outd otv that the Conference was not between < thos-e. who could bind or loose, sign, seal, or ..dfcflWer. Therefore, they nil. not be agitated. The notion that anyone would meet round a is-ble and try to discover a compromise was ritlietilol)A. The object was to discover an Rjfreeraeat—to find out how far that agreement .4«tended and how far it would carrv them. Thai was the obvious duty of any such confer- •not*. But they must remember that if they. 4*tted to come to an agreement they would be fm the position they were before they started.

The overturned boat was found near the Needles, Isle of Wight, the solitary survivor having clung to the craft throughout the night. The live men were reLurniiur from a. sail to Swan age, and. when approaching Boseumbe Pier at about half-past" eight 011 Sunday y evening, the boat was blown out to se], again. A squall then struck the craft, which capsized, throwing the five occupants into the water.

'The ether four men disappeared, but Mr. Cassoll clung to the boat, and when picked up was in an ex- hausted and somi-eonseiom? condition. He was rescued off Christchureh, Ledge Buoy. On board the steamer he was attended to promptly, and was taken to Boscombe in the evening.

"YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE." i At the Lincolnshire Assizes John Gostling and Charles Herbert Russell were charged with the attempted murder of Annie Dunham, at the Toll Bar House, near Grimsby, on March 31 last. It was stated that the men, who had been drinking, called at the house and axked to be supplied with tea. Shortly afterwards Gostling pointed a revolver at Mr. Dunham and ex- claimed, "Your money or your; life Henred immediately, and the bullet struck Mr. Dun- ham's rig'ht shoulder. Gostling then fired at Mrs. Dunham, the bullet, piercing her neck, and hitting an eleven-year-old boy who was also in the room. Gostling pleaded that he had served in where he received an injury to the eye which i)ftoii affected his mind. After the drink lie did not know what he was doing. The jury found Gostling guilty of unlawful wounding, aNd he was sentenced to four months' hard labour; Russell was discharg-ed.

HOME HINTS. j If carpets are taken up and put away, borax will preserve them as effectually as the objectionable carbolic acid and "mphor balls. To prevent oil becoming rancid, place few drops of ether into the bottle cootainittg it- A discoloured steel knife may he brightened by drawing back and forth be- tween two slices of raw potato. Milk which has slightly turned way be sweetened and rendered fit for use again by stirring' in a little soda. Very strong tea will stop the bleeding from a cut. Starch and iron wide lamp-wicks and wiekfl for oil stoves. They will not then trouble in fitting them into the burnera, Curried Mutton. Take the remains of cold leg of mutton. Cut it into very neat pieces, and lay them for six hours in a thick gravy made of curry powder and stock. Slice six onions into a stew pan and fry till a light brown. Fry the meat also a good colour, add the gravy in which it has been soaked. Simmer very "gently, and serve with boiled rice. Turnip Cakes.—Mix well together equat pars of cold mashed turnips and ma&hed potatoes, season to taste. Allow one egg to each two cupfuls, and half a cupful of bread- crumbs, form into small fiat cakes, roll and I bake in a, quick oven to a pale browa. Ytry nice with roast beef, [ Two or three lumps of sugar added to boiled starch will make the clothes etiffer snd more glossy. A teaspoonful of turpentine added to every quart of starch, either hot or cold, will give a brilliantly-polished surface and prevent the iron sticking. In the ab- sence of turpentine kerosene will do nearly as good work. A clothes-hanger may be economically made by using a barrel hoop. Cut from a hoop a piece of the desired length, and, after inserting a screw-eye in the middle of the hanger, tie a string in it for a loop to hang it up by. Such a hanger is easy to make, and answers the purpose very well. e Salt used in sweeping carpets will help to keep the moths out of many suspected noor- coverings. A little salt added to tea leave. is a good mixture for this purpose, and a handful of salt sprinkled thickly on any place on which soot has fallen will greatly assist in getting the carpet clean from the black mess. Cheese Balls.Take one cupful of grated cheese, the whites of two eggs, a dash of cayenne, and just enough breadcrumbs to hold the balls together. Beat the whites to a very stiff froth, add the cheese and cayenne, make into balls, and fry. These balls are quite different from those made with the yolks of eggs, being, wlien fried, of a soft, creamy consistency, more delicate, and cheesy." Devonshire Pudding.—Line a pie dish with apricot jam, and upon this put a layer of finely cut apples. Put one pint, of milk <ra the fire, with two ounces of breadcrumbs, boil until it thickens, add a little sugar, and two well-beaten eggs. Add this to the apri- cot jam and apples. Bake in a quick oven twenty minutes, and serve. A jelly and soup strainer should find place in every kitchen. Some cooka prefer a flannel bag, which is almost a necessity for clearing and straining jellies in elaborate cooking; but many authorities advocate the use of a coarse linen cloth. This material is less easily spoilt by contact with hot liquids than flannel, while it is clearer and more satisfactory -Oin the long run for ordinary plain cooking. < Chicken Gullets.Mince the remains of ? cold, cooked fowl, add to it half its bulk of finely-minced ham or tongue; now stir over the fire till smoothly amalgamated one otitief., each of butter and sifted flour, and when these are quite smooth stir in a gill of cream, new milk or stock (or half and half), with a finely-minced spray of parsley, a grate of lemon peel and a squeeze of its juice, a grain of cayenne pepper and salt; when this is all well mixed in, stir in the minced chicken and ham or tongue, and stir it all over the fire till smoothly blended. Now turn it out on a. dish to cool, flattening-it out about one inch thick, then when wanted shape this in your well-floured hands into balls or cutlets; brush these over with beaten egg, then roll in fine breadcrumbs, and fry in hot fat to a golden brown; drain well and serve. j New patent leather boots should always be just slightly warmed before a fire before they are put on. This softens the leather and prevents it cracking, as will also rubbing with salad oil alter wearing the first few times. If good, patent, leather wears very well and looks nice to the last.
