How TO Prepare Insecticides.

Kerosene emulsion: Take one gallon
water. one-half pound soap and boil till
soap Is all dissolvCd: then add two gal
Ions kerosene: emulsify by churning or
beating it rapidly with an cgg-beater; or
best Is; of all, with little force pump

'ar spraying pump can be used. provided
s"lnG'en mt quantity is being made. To
AVOID the possibility of having little
free oil. we may use an excess of soap.
free Kerosene kills foliage. When ready
TO spray. dilute the emulsion with water,
regulating the strength according to the
plant to be sprayed AS a general rule,
we use about one part emulsion to fifteen
parts OF water. In some experiments
emulsion as weak as one-twcntieth and
one-twenty-fifth and some as strong as
one-tenth were used. While the we ker
solutions gave fairly good results. the
onc-ffteenth gave the best, the one-tcnth
being really stronger than necessary.
Usually enc thorough spraying is sufii-
cent. In case the work is hastily done
or the insects very active, so that many
or them escape, two or three applications
may be necessary. Kerosene emulsion
kills by external contact.
London purple is Il by-product in the
anlllne dye factories, and the essential
or active principle. is arsenic To pre-
paw tAe SolullOll, SIMPLY mix thoroughly
one pound of the poison with twenty gal
Ions Of water. While applying, stir fire.
quently so as to give all parts of the
plant solution of equal strength. As
this is an internal poison, it must be
thoroughly applied, leaving no imprisoned
tissue upon which the insect may feed.
Paris green is also an arScnical poison.
1t is prepared for spraying the same as
london purple, should be applied with the
same object in view, and with the same
precaution: 1t may be made little
stronger than the purple solution Some
claim paris green contains a uniform pro-
portion of arsenic, while london purple
is often variable; but ordinarily it is sutti
GENTLY constant. The chief difference is
that london purple contains more soluble
arsenic and consequently it will injure
the foliage more readily. The difficulty
may be largely overcome by adding
slaked lime to the solution short time
before spraying. The lime will combine
with the soluble arsenic. thus overcoming
the danger to the foliage. and at the
same time retaining it's poisonous quail
ties.
Pylethrum is used mainly as dry
powder. In solution use one ounce tG
three gallons of water and apply as a
very fine spray. Keep the vessel contain
ing the solution covered as tightly as
possible to prevent the evaporation of the
volatile oil which is the destructive prin-

CAREFUL OF THEIR VOICES.
Public Singers ForeRo Many Pleas

ures for the Sake of Their Art.
Adelina Patti has led life of self
denial for the sake Of her voice. AS a
young girl she never had any of the plea
sures which fall to others. Parties, dane
ing and fun of every kind were denied
her. Her father and her brother-in-law,
NJ. Strakosch, who was also her imprc-
sariO, were in constant fear that she
would fatigue her voice. One can mag
inc how bright and lovely child Patti
was, how eager her delight in innocent
pleasure, yet pleasure had to be forgone.
AS to girlish Hirtations until she married
the Marquis de Caux at "a the little diva
had been kept almost like a nun at home
world. The pleasures of the table were
not for her. She used to eat only plainly
cooked meat and toast, so that even the
slightest indigestion would not impair the
clearness of her voice.
On ordinary days, when Patti has to
sing in opera at night, she dimes off beef
and potatoes and baked apples at about
$3.50 p. M, for beef is said to give force
and apples smoothness to the voice:
After dinner the prima donna fasts until
she sings, taking between the acts Of an
opera homeopathic doses Of phosphorus
and capsicum, both of which are bene
fetal to the throat. If tired a cup of

is so beneficial to the vocal chords as to
take quiet morning spin in fresh coun-
try air.
Sims Reeves, throughout his whole pro-
feSsional career, was SedulOuS in nursing
his voice. Before singing he always
sucked lozenge, in which he much be-
lieved; it was 'home made"-of glycer-
inc, lemon juice and gum arabic. Jenny

In twenty years time, it is safe to

Wayo, again, will be connected with a
line running right across country to Wal

central Africa the trunk line will con-
meet with German and British lines rum

SSonable to suppose that by that time a

the Cape-to- Cairo route. And that the
trunk line will be paying concern there
is no reason to doubt.
In the Rhodesian section already built
the returns have advanced by leaps and
bounds. The engineering difficulties Of
the Cape.to-Cairo line are considerable,
