Murdered by His Wife,

James Kane, dissolute character,
was murdered by his equally dissolute
wife, Lizzie Kane at Philadelphia last

long keen bread-knife as the weapon
which she plunged through the lower
portion of her husbands body. After
committing the awful deed, the wo-
man walked out Of the house and has
not yet been arrested. Mrs. Kane was
only released from the station house
to-day and upon reaching home began
a quarrel with her husband which re-
suited in the latter's death.

The Situation in Hayti.

KINGSTON, April S.-The Haytian
refugees here, who were but lately
deep in conspiracy looking to the
overthrow of President Hippolyte, are
overjoyed at the announcement that
the new chief of State, Simon Sam will
shortly issue a decree of universal
amnesty. The great majority of Hay
tians here only allowed themselves to
be drawn into the Manigatist conspir-
acy, as the only apparent means of
speedily returning to their country. At
heart they care little or nothing for
Manigat, and would never have afilia-
ted with his party could they have help
ed themselves.
The untimely death of Hippolyte,
and the succession to power fso pop
ular a favotite as Simon Sam has
changed the whole aspect Of affairs.
All sober minded Haytians now in
exile will gladly embrace the oppor-
tunity to bury the hatchet. 1t does
not appear probable that any move
can be made to disturb Simon Sam S
administration at present. But Hayti
is land of poetical turmoil and sur
prises.

Eighteen years ago Thad. Davis,

WEEK IN CONGRESS.

Among the most important matters
that took the attention of our legis-
lators this week were appropriations
of eleven million dollars for coast de-
fences. The bill carries specific ap-
preparations amounting to over five
millions, and allows the Secretary Of
the Navy to make further expendi-
ture of five millions as may be be de-
termined by himself and the navy de-
partment.
The Senate Committee appointed to
examine into the present cost of
armor plates for gunboats, reported
that the actual cost of making
the plates was 5000 per ton and the
price paid by the government is $500
per ton. The manufactures in explain
ing the price said that the numerous
amount of costly machinery was nee
essarv in the manufacture, and as that
machinery was worthless for any
other purpose, big profit was neces-
sary. The Behring sea treaty was
ratified with England was ratified.
This is a trouble that has existed for
sometime, over the seal fisheries.
With the exception of election cases in
the House the week was generally
derived of interest.

MAKING HAY.

The past week or ten days have been the
hottest on record for nearly twenty i've
years, and while rather hard on man and
stock, it has been the very best of haying
weather and the farmer who was fortunate
enough to have his hay cut or fodder
pulled was able to get it into the barns in
a good condition. There are many how
ever, who have missed the opportunity and
are now saying to themselves, If I had
only done so and so how much better off I
would have been" Yes that is true, the
little word if often stands in the way of
good many things being accomplished.
Procrastination is one ofithe farmers great
drawbacks-and is often the cause of his
losing valuable time.
Having some hay to cut we tried four
different parties who owned moving ma
chimes before we found one in order. In
each case something was broken and the
parts had to be sent for before the ma
chine could be used. What predicament
to be in! Ripeuing hay on all sides and
nothing in shape to take care of it. The
delay caused by having to send for broken
parts may mean the loss of good crop of
hay or having it so near spoiled that it is
good only for bedding. The adage, "a
stitch in time saves nine can be applied
in farm work as well as anything else. All
farm machinery should be in readiness so
that when wanted it can be used at once.
The moving machine, the rake and rack
especially at this time of the year should
be ready for use at moments notice.
Our farmers should take advantage of
every opportunity to save hay they can for
all hay that is brought here comes high.
While the average price for hay in the
north during the past four or five years has
been only $500 per ton it costs over that
much to get it here so that he who has to
buy hay must pay good price for same
not less than $40 per ton Money saved is
money earned.

The Jack Bean Fraud.

A new plant that is being doomed to
some extent in the south and west is the
so-called Jack bean (Canavalia ensi-
formis). 1t is upright and bushy, grows
about three feet high and produces
thirty to forty bushels beans per acre
even on very poor soil. 1t has been more
or less grown for five years, and thor
ough test of it was made at the Missis-
sippi experiment station, where ten
acres of it were grown last year. Direc-
tor Tracy says 1t is very difficult to in
duce any animal to eat the beans, either
raw, ground or cooked, and when eaten
they seem almost wholly indigestible.
The plant, therefore, has no value what
ever, and our readers are warned against
it. This is the kind Of experiment sta.
ton work that practical farmers appre.
ciate, for in the absence of such definite
knowledge, the Jack bean boomers
might have victimized good many
farmers in the west and south.-Citro-

Arsenic for 'Hoppers.

A California vineyardist is reported to
have made an important discovery for
protecting his grapes from the depreda.
lions of grasshoppers. 1t practically
the method published by US some time
ago for DISCRIMINATING cut worms and
other pests of the garden and field and
may have been adopted from this same
Californian's experience. who is said to
have rejected an offer of considerable
sum of money for the exclusive right to
make and sell the compound. preferring
to give it to the public for the public
good. The formula as published calls
for thirty-ive pounds of middlings,
twenty-five pounds bran, twenty-five
pound arsenic, one gallon Of wafer and
three gallons of molasses. These are
thoroughly mixed, so that every portion
of the bran and middlings receives
portion of the arsenic, and spoonful of
the mixture is placed on board near
the foot of each vine. The grasshoppers
leave the vine to feast on the molasses
and the accompanying arsenic gets in
it's deadly work. Of course it is not
necessary to mix so large quantity for
trial. An ounce of arsenic, an ounce
