Wash for Fruit Trees.

The present is probably the best time to
scrape and wash pear and apple trees, in
order to dislodge the numerous insects that
are concealed under the bark and in crevices
of the wood, as-well as to remove the fungus
clinging to the trunks and large limbs. A
preparation of whale oil soap, in the proper
ton of one pound of soap to four or five gal
Ions of water, has been found to be a RENE
dy for these pests of fruit trees. Some, how
ever, apply preparation Of carbolic acid,
sulphur and lime, freely diluted with water,
as equally effective, and as being also pro-
lection against the blight, and generally
adding to the health Of the trees. Perhaps
the latter may prove the most efflcacious.
It is easy to give them trial, and we have
no hesitation to say that the result will be
highly satisfactory. We have often used
the whale-oil soap in the manner suggested,
with the best effects.-Germantown Tele-

EFFECTS OF PERFUME ON THE
HEALTH.-An Italian professor
has made some very agreeable
medicinal researches, resulting
in the discovery that vegetable
perfumes exercise a positively
healthful influence on the atmos-
phere, converting its oxygen
into ozone, and thus increasing
its oxydizing influence. The
essences found to develop the
largest quantity of ozone are
those of cherry, laurel, clover,
lavender, mint, juniper, lemon,
fennel and bergamot; those that
give it in smaller quantity are a
Mise, nutmeg and thyme. The
flowers of the narcissus, hyacinth
mignonette, heliotrope and lilly
of the valley develop ozone in
closed vessels. Flowers desti-
tute of perfume do not develop
it, and those which have but
slight perfume develop it in
small quantities. Reasoning
from these facts the professor re-
commends the cultivation of
flowers in marshy districts, and
in all places infested with animal
emanations, on account of the
powerful oxydizing influence of
ozone. The inhabitants ofsuch
regions should, he says, sur
round their houses with beds of
the most odorous flowers.

Miss JANE CooMBs.- This
talented actress and her fine
company appeared at the Opera
House on Monday evening in
London Assurance" with Miss
Coombs as Lady Gay. The
support all the way through was
much above the average. Quite
a fair sized audience was pres
ent and the comedy was thor
oughly enjoyed. We heard but
one expression of opinion and
that was: First-rate. The man
ager Mr.. E. B. Brown neglec-
ted to provide house program
mes and no little dissatisfac-
ton was expressed, a number of
the audience had never seen
the play before and many of
those who had were unacquain-
ted with any of the actors.
This evening Miss Coombs
and the entire company will
appear in Camille" for the ben
eft of the BRENNAN Greys.
Miss Coombs is a finished &C
tress and the company is one
of the best that has visited our
city, We hope to see a crowd
