ON BEHALF OF AMERo.
An Order in Council by the Dominion
Government,


OTTAWA, March 1S.-Darng last session D.
B. Wood@orth drew the attention of the
government to the case of Rogers Amero of
Digby, Nova Scotia, who had been arrested in
that province and exradited to Boston as the
murderer of Mrs. Carlton at WatsrtoRn, Mass,
in 1888. 1t was subsequently shoRn that after
being held for months in jail by the Massa-
chusetts authorities without trial he had been
held merely 90 enable tho detectives to get
hod OF the right party, and he was turned
adrift without dollar in the world, to find his
property in Nova Scotia all sold by the sheriff
and his mother dead, as a result of his incar-
ceration.
Acting on the appeal Of Woodworth Sir John
Macdonald states Tonight that the Dominion
cabinet to-day passed an order in council re-
questing the Governor General TO at once COM
municate with the President OF the United
States, through the proper channel asking
him to present the claims OF Amero to the
Governor of Massachusetts, with q view to the
Legislature of that State making such repars-
tion or compensation to Amero as the merits
OF the case would appear to justify. Amero,
who fully established his innocence, is now
pauper, although previous to his arrest no was
in comfortable circumstances.

the bark arrived safely from her long voyage
without losing any Of her crew either BY acct

Celosia or cockscomb produce much larger and
finer combs, or heads, if they are transplanted
once or twice. Balsams are also improved by
transplanting, and more apt to give large double
flowers. Bouquet makers should remember it is
to their advantage to SOW candytuft three or
four times during the season; about two weeks
apart is our rule. There is nothing SO useful in
white for bouquets as the New Rocket candytuft.
The flowers are produced in spikes six to eight
inches in length and of q dazzling whiteness.
Another fine acquisition for bouquet making is
mignonette, the variety known as Parsons
tree" The flower stems are ten to fifteen inches
in length and very fragrant, and for general use
we think it far excels the old sweet mignonetSe.
Verbena seed should be sown. in boxes or hot
beds a few days later than pansv seed. Zinnias,
like asterS, always look best when massed in a
bed by themselves. The first bloom of zinnias
usually come single. These flowers should be
removed as fast as they appear, and after a week
or two the flowers will ali come double if your
seed is good. Semi-double and single zinnias
are grown by allowing the first bloom to seed.

DEFINITION OF KAMs1N.

Some Description of Other Hot Winds and
Their Travels to Europe.
at certain seasons hot, suffocating winds blow
outward from the sandy deserts Of the Sahara.
and to these the general name SIMEON is given by
the Arabs Of tho north coast, from the word
Stamina, meaning hot or poisonous. In Egypt
the hot wind is called kamsin, meaning fifty,
since it generally blows from the end Of April, for
that number of days, onward to the inundation
of the Nile, in June. In Tunis it is called shee-
ly, and fills the air with impalpable sand, giving
rise to much ophthalmia. The siroccol is most
frequent in Algeria in July, whence it blows
northward over Italy, and melts the SHOWS of
the Alps as the warm fohn wind; in Morocco
the hot wind, here called shume, is strongest in
July, August and September, and passes across
TO Spain as the solano; still farther around. on
the border of the Great desert, in Senegambia,
and on the Guinea coast, the harmattan wind,
intensely dry and charged with particles of sand
and dust, blows out from the Sahara at inter
walls during December, January and February.
Steamer running along the coast north of
Sierra Leone during the harmattan, with freshly
tarred rigging or painted bulwarks, find
the side next Africa powdered with fine sand, so
that the painted parts assume the nature of
sand paper.

Down in the pretty town Of Mount Vernon,

calamity which makes every Pittsburg house

the story goes, a well-educated man from

coursing on how difficult it was to get help,
and how girls" would persist in getting run
down, and needing a rest. and going home to
their mothers or their sisters until house-clean-
ing was over. This gave him an idea which he
put in practice at once. He secured some com
petent help and went into the housekeeping
business, which has grown and fiourished and is
pronounced by every woman who can afford to
employ him a GOD send and a blessing
With a competent corps of assistants he will
undertake to clean a house and leave it in first

thing of that sort is required, which takes more
time. They will take possession early In the
