was this, then, who had turned her head
round and was now regarding him with
her laughing, handsome, bold black eyes i?
She was woman apparently of five and
thirty, or so, but exceedingly well-pre-
served and comely: of pleasant features
and resh-complexioned ; and of rather
manly build and carriage; an appearance

narrow brimmed little billy-cock hat

CRIME BEYOND PRECEDENT.
a Man Murders His wife and His Brother
Helps Him Commit Suicide

ST. CATHERINE, Ont, Sept. Last fall
Alexander Easterhy and wife disappeared
mysteriously from the neighborhood of
Efiingham, a village seven miles from
here, and no trace of them was discovered
until to-day, when the body of the woman
was found buried in the garden near the
house in which the couple lived and John
Easterby, II brother of the missing man,
has been arrested on suspicion of being
the murderer and he tells IA strange story.
He says the husband and wife lived un.
happily together and the former con
cluded to Kill the latter and then commit
suicide. The husband committed the
murder and he and his brother John
buried the body in the garden. The hus-
band then cut his throat in an effort to
commit suicide, but not dying quickly
enough, called upon his brother to finish
him, which he did. A search Is now go

To Burn Weeds.-To dry them enough
so they will burn readily, allow the seeds
to ripen and shell out, thus stocking the
ground anew. This may be prevented by
allowing the weeds to wilt for one day
in the sun, then pile them up and pour Il
little kerosene over the heap before ignit-
ing.
Seed Saving for Early Cropping. Mr..
Sturtevant from the experimental farm
at Geneva, n. Y, gives some useful ideas
on this subject. He has found that toma-
toes grown from unripe seed ripened fruit
two weeks earlier than from mature seed
of the sBme kind and time of sowing. In
cabbage, seeds of Winningstadt gathered
in an unrlpe state produced heads tit for
use one week earlier than those from seed
that was ripe when gathered. One might
think that the eariness was secured at
the expense of size or quality but this is
not true; the cabbage from the unrpe
seed furnished heads six and one half
inches in diameter as against four and
threefourths inches through for the pro-
ducts from the ripe seed. Experiments
made in this direction with lettuce. peas
and radishes also revealed similar results.
Flowers and the Lawn.
| Save balsam seed.
Get around the flower pots.
| Rats will devour carnations.
Seeding verbenas are the sweetest.
| Cat-tails are not now fashionable for
| decorating.
| Hot house plants need heat in cool
nights now.
Ferns that show spots of damp, should
have their leaves kept dry.
! Cut back double petuniaS ut this time
and by October there Will be fresh slips
to strike,
OF all places weeds are the least eXcusa-
| bile in tIower-beds, where the object is to
| please the eye.
Mignonette plants designed for winter
| bloom should he pinCned back frequently
! to prevent bloom and induce stocklness of
| growth.
While we advocate watering shade
trees freely during the dry spells to pro
mote quick growth, such trees may be
easily drowned out at the roots.
Double Altheas.-These shrubs which,
with their single towering sisters, stand
almost alone for bloom among shrubs at
this season, are not so often seen us they
should be, one reason being that they re-
ceve i'll treatment when first the bushes
are set out. The trouble is that the roots
receive injury during their first or second
winter. BY covering the surface of earth
over the roots with several inches of hay
at the approach of winter, for two or three
seasons, until they have penetrated below
| the line of hard frost, there is little dan
ger of the shrubs not succeeding.

rules of the Senate for day.
