They had for some time lived unhappily,
owing to the rritio's arieking habits, which
aoubtlees caused the tragedy.
A Belleville despetch says: The murder
of Mrs. Elizabeth Kane yesterday after.
moon by her husband, James Kane, was
one of the moat airoeiounand cold-blooded
crimes ever committed. Usually of a
retiring disposition, and feiellful in the
disobarge of his duties, Ii41399 is a man of
•strong will power, and generally when he
made up his mind to do snything he
announced hia intenkion with greet de.
oision and erapbasis. For several
months past be has had frequent
quarrels with his wife, whiten re-
sulted in their separation. Yesterday

duties About the stables with his newel
promptness. Throughout the morn -

it was late in tbe afternoon When he was
seen to leave the hotel and walk rapidly up
front street, as if afraid of being detected
in something. Palming on up -the street he
entered his inep•sors's barber shop next to
the Dominion Bask. He soon emerged
from bere, and as he hastily buttoned his
overcoat he walked quickly down the east
aide of front strew, pinned the police
station and turned up Wharf street. Turn.
ing into Church street he maae direct to
the loomm where his wife was living. He
knocked at a side entrance leading into a
rear kitchen. The door yeas opened by
Kra. Alf. Skinner, who was at once alarmed
at the strange and unnatural demeanor of
the man. His eyes wore a glittering and
fixed espreseion as he baked to see his wife.
eldre. littinner was alermed, and, feeling
that Kane was there with mardeeous
intent, slipped pest him and ran down the
street to ethernote her !matured. As Kane
caught a glinmee of hie wefts he leaped
througb the doorway, and as he did so he
drew a long, glittering carving knife from
under his coat and node seraight at hie
wife. With a repetition of oaths he caught
the women by the throat, eaying " By

yoteil never wreck another." With this be
Hwang tbe weapon througb the air and
plunged it in )ns wife's side.
The keen edged knife was buried to the

Dubois and Kenny, on duty at the White

(welsh of glase, the sound coming from a i

to reaoti the window, through the broken

offusers seized ham and threw him to the
floor of the parole. He was about 25 pure
old, and had on no clothing except trousers,
undershirt and shoes. He appeared to be
a raving maniac], and foughethe efacers like
a demon. The task taxed their com-
bined strength to the utratut, but with the
aid of ropes brought by the servant he was
at last bound hand end foot until he was
helpleso. His memo brought the Presi
dent and some raerabers of his household
te the upper windows, where they were
told in anewer to the President's in:pixy
that an inethei man had attempted to break
into the house, but was then secure. The
President and Mrs. Harrison had as their

heard. In auewer to a telephone summons
a police patrol waggon was soon on the
ground and the prisoner was, taken to the

Harry Martin, the stepson of Senator
Vance. He is said to be a graduate of
Georgetown College, and is well known
about town. Be has the reputation of
being one of the best ell.round athletes in
the city, but his besetting weakness is said
to be drink, and his cries and screams,

Rowe, of lot 2 on the MOS oonceesion, over

Rowe and throwing him into the ditch.
Blows followed, in whioh it is said
that both used clubs, Rowe attletseentlY

had it is diffioult to explain the simul-
taneous uae of the varieey 01 inetrumeota
depicted in the aoulpturee anelheiroglyphios
whiik are our chief Sources of information.
The Assyrians at a very earlydant were
in possession of no fewer then eight or nine
differeet instrareenre, siringed, wind and
percussion. It is unfortunate that we boom
no illustrations of three or four of thee%
Of aortae, however, we have tolerably dein
nite deeariptions. Coe is a kind ot harp
held horizontally under the left arm end
projecting ferward at the height of the
elbew, and played with a quill or plectrum,
the tones being produced by fingering the
stringe with the left hand. Another ia a
tyre of 'irregular treaugultir einem, played
by the hand; a third is a tip:label. In
later tunes the Assyrians used various
modifiantions of the lyre, a tWO heeded
harp, the dotdele pipes, the guitaror zithern,
the tambourine ond the drum.
The Mayrien harp of the early tinaes was
ttiangnlisr, oonsietiog ole bet itear.tel board
and an upright bar, the stringe eight or ten
itigaimber, poising from the board through
the bar and terinineting in tassels. The
tightening of elle Buboes was effected by pees
in the bar, around which tbey were wound.
The atrings appear to leave been of orie
thinkness, we that the length and teneion

of tone. This harp, judging by the repre-
sentations extant, was entrees need stand-
ing, and with a quill or plectrum. The
later harp had a hollow colluding board and
was played by the naked hand.
In Assyrian remains the double pipe is
common, but strangely enough we have no
record of the single pipe, or flute. la
Egypt both ;tingle ena double pipes moor
MI the early monumenta, and both were
used among the eatly Greeks and Romans.
The Greeks asoribed tbe invention of the
pipes to Mamas, or to Olympus,his
dieciple, and regarded them as Asietio.
They preferred the double to the single
pipe, and in this we eee what may proba-
bly indioate the Assyrian infinenceover our
Geek music. The Aesyrian double pipe
was from ten tp twelve inobes in leogth,
but whether a single instrument, double-
• bored, or separate pipet), is not defioitely
known. The Greeks and Bement; used
separate pipes, The Egyptian pipe, an
the other hand, WSS 15 to 18 inches in
length, and the alesaioal ones were proba•
bly longer. 'The Pncenician pipe wee very
short and was called giv9rue.
The Assyrian double pipes were of equal
length, but the Romeo pipes were " egos"
and " len," giving, wording to Pliny, din
ferene pitches. Their tambourine CMS not
different in principle or shape from our
modern instrument of tbe same name, and
their cymbals were the ;omit as those need
in theEast tooloy. Their drum, as shown
on eoulptures, were of two kinds, one a
pasll drum of the modern sleep°, the other
et :urge; Bluest tbe top but tapering
gratineilly downward till it enas almost in
•
a point. Both were aimi
ed n front and
beaten with the fingers.
Among the peculiar inetrumenie depicted
on ancient soulptures is one of the time of
Senneicherib. It is a huge rattle, resem-
bling a tuck or beg inverted. From the
bottorn hangs a half hoop, the use of whioh
is not clear. Another is a kind of dulcimer
of the titne of Assburdeardepal, consisting
of a hollow ease over which probably ten
strings were strung. It was onspended
about the player's seek and while the heft
hand fingered tb.e strings the debt struck
them with a small hammer. One of
Senneeberib's slabs also gives a good rep-
reeentetion of a trutnyet or horn carried
by one of tbe officers in a proceesion. itis
conjectured to have been of small ooropees
and was probably used in giving certain
signala.
The Aeoyrians seem to have preferred
the concert of instruments, without voioes.
Their simplest band was two harpers,
which was a part of their religions cern-
repels' on the return of the monarch from
the ohese, when a libation wae poured over
the dead game. But we have sculptures of
larger handle one of three players on the
lyre, and one, a drawing of which is in the
British museum', compoeed of a harper, a
player on the lyre and one on the double
pipe. Bands of four are common. A
bas relief of Sennaoherib's time shows a
band of five with two tambourines, two
sotique harps and one cymbal; and later
ones thew various combinations of instrn.

Hood s Sarsaparilla
For Debility, Neuralgia and
Catarrh
" TORONTO, Dec. 28, 1890.
"C. I. HOOD & Co., Lowell, Mass.
"GENTLEMEN: For many3'ears I have
been suffering from catarrh, neuralgia
and general debility. I failed to obtain
any permanent relief from medical ad-
vice, and my friends feared I would
never find anything to cure me. A
short time ago I was induced to try
Hood's Sarsaparilla. At that time I
was unable to walk even a short dis-
tance without feeling a
eath.;Like Weakness
overtake me. And I had intense pains
from neuralgia, in my head, back and
limbs, which were very exhausting.
But I am glad to say that soon after I
began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I saw
that it was doing me good. I have
now taken three bottles and am entirely
Cured of Neuralgia.
I am gaining in strength rapidly, and
can take a two-mile walk without feel-
ing tired. 'T do not suffereearly so
-much from catarrh, and find that as my
strength increases the catarrh decreases,
I arn indeed a changed woman, and
shall always feel grateful to Hood's Sar-
saparilla for what it has done for' me.
it Is Pay Wish
that this my testimonial shall be pub-
lished in order that others suffering as I
was may learn how to be benefited.
"Yours ever gratefully,
"MRS. M. E. MERRICK,
"36 Wilton, Avenue,
Toronto, Canada."
This is Only One
Of many thousands of people who
gladly testify to the excellence of and
benefit obtained from Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla. If you suffer from any disease Or
