MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 25.-On last

in, which continued with little intermis-

Sunday and Monday night showers fell,
but at Q O'clock Monday night the storm
was renewed with violence, and continued
until P. NJ. Tuesday, when it abated.

life is reported. At Huntsville, Ala, the

CARBoLIC SOAP FOR INsECTs.-A few
days since I tried an experiment with
carbolic soap in killing insects upon
greenhouse plants, particularly the green
fly (Aphis) which, as everybody knows,
is great pest, and one not readily de-
stroyed, except by fumigating with to-
bacco- not very agreeable operation to
perform upon parlor plants, or in con-
servatory attached to dwelling. My
first experiment with this soap was de-
cided success, operating upon 200 roses
just in bloom, and it was conducted as
follows Into a. pail Of warm water put
a lump Of soap the size of small hens
egg. The soap was cut up into small
pieces and the water agitated until it was
all dissolved, forming warm suds. The
water should not be too hot, but if not
above 100 degrees or thereabout, it will
do no harm. Into this suds each rose
bush was plunged (holding the pot in
verted in the HANDY, and kept there about
half minute. After pluuging, the
plants were set aside for few minutes,
then dipped in the same way into clean
water, shaking them about thoroughly,
washing the leaves, and then returned to
their former place in the house. Whether
it was the soap or warm water that killed
the green fly will not say, but there is
one thing certain, they are all dead

Loud Speaking.

Rev. e. E. Hale has reseLtly made
some very sensible and pertinent remarks
we hope none will consider them i'm
pertinent lin reference to the loud, harsh
tones of American women in conversation.
He attributes it in measure to the bad
training in our large school-rooms, where
the children are required to "speak up!"
and proceed to do so after fashion
not easily forgotten.
The habit of loud speaking may with
truth be said to be American, and is not
confined, by any means, to the women
and children. The volume and harsh
ness of our average tones, as a people,
can never be appreciated save by him
who has studied the phenomenon. The
mother speaks to the daughter in the
next room, in voice that would send
the interrogation or command clear across
the street. The father calls to the boys
to "come in to breakfast" in stentorian
tones that startle the poor timid echoes
sumbering on the sides of the buildings,
and can be plainly heard through the
whole neighborhood. The boys snarl at
each other in their vexation until you
Involuntary look for their four legs, so
much does their language sound like the
growl of angry dogs The young farmer,
driving his half-broken steers along the
road, shouts and yells and screams at the
shrinking youngsters as if they had no
ears, or were three-quarters of a mile
distant and running like mad through
the bushes. Indeed, taking US all In all
we are noisy set. Even the hens, it is
said, cackle louder here than in any other
land under heaven, and as to the pigs
squealing louder than the pigs of any
other country do, no sane man would
think of denying it for a moment.
But soberly, friends, is it not about
time for US to learn man lers in respect
to this point of behavior9 Is it not time
for US to learn the proper use of the voice,
and the methods of training by which it
can be made sweet and pleasant to the
ear2 Why should not parents make a
point of this in the education of their
children, and thus give them at least one
delightful accomplishment The soft,
gentle, and low voice, which poor old
Lear found 50 dear in his Cordelia, and
so excellent thing iu woman, is not
only mark of good breeding, but has
aesthetic and moral relations that are not
enough regarded. Golden Rule.

A Trick of Sharpers.

A new dodge for beating the innocent
out OF their com has been resorted to
by sharpers in this city since the town
has been made "too hot" to hold the
bunko men and permit of them plying
their trade. A number have already
fallen victims, and the sharpers are be-
yond the reach of the law. Two of them
enter saloon, walk up to the bar and
converse asif they had just met. One
draws forth his handkerchief, mops of
his brow, and remarks: "Gracious.
how do transpire |" Says the other :
you mean perspire; there is no such
word used in that sense as transpire. -
"There is," says number one, "and I'll
bet you on the point" An outsider ie
then referred to by sharper number two,
and as general thing sides with the
latter in saying there is no such word
used in that sense. eff you think SO. ,
number one says. 81 will bet you that
am right" A bet is made, sharper mum.
Der two generally taking part of it with
the stranger. A dictionary is procured,
the wore is found, and the stranger
learns that Webster's Unabridged says
'"Transpire- to emit through the excre.
tories Of the skin" OF course he loses
his money, and soon afterwards the
sharpers repair to convenient place,
divide the spoils and go in search of an.
other victim. -Sdramento Bee.
