careful Of his voice when he had to
sing that he would not speak at all
and was in the habit OF writing his
wishes on piece Of paper During
the last years Of his life he lived at
the Everett House. New York. when
not on the road. 1t took him at least
three-quarters Of an hour to so from
his room to the sidewalk. He must
get used TO the changes very gradual
ly. Leaving the room. he would pace
up and down the hall for ten or fifteen
minutes until thoroughly ''acclimatiz-
ed" as he himself would say, aud from
there would go TO the lobby TO erpcri-
ence for twenty minutes a s~shtly
lower degree Of temperature.
At the end of half an hour he usual
" reached the vesubule. where he
would pass another quarter, opening
the outer door occasionally to get a
taste OF the fresh air When thor
oughly acclimatized here he buttoned
his greatcoat close about him and
stepped out on the pavement
Brignoli never was known to be
ready TO go on the stage to sing his
part He had to wait one minute or
several minutes before appearing. In
this he was a great trouble to mana
gers. Just give me one minute more"
he would beg. and when that was up
he would plead for another and an
other till all patience was exhausted.

NEW SPRAYING METHOD
TO SAVE THE PEACHES

been received by the Delaware State
Board Of Agriculture from "A number or
experiment station men giving their views
and experiences. Dr. $. w Fletcher, d.
rector Of the Virginia stations says; I'VE
arc strongly recommending the use OF
lime-sulphur. either self-boiled. home boil
ed. or factory boiled. FOR the summer
spraying of tree fruits. We are espec-
tally recommending the use OF self-boil-
ed ume-suphur and arsenate Of lead on
peaches. and the use Of factory boiled
lime-sulphur diluted to 80. on varieties
Of apples subject TO bordeaus injury
such as Ben Davis. winosap Albemarle
and Grimes Golden"
Professor W. IT, Chandler. Of the Uni
verslty Of Missouri, writes; This sta
tion recommends the use Of the self
boiled iime-sulphur and arsenate Of lead,
or Of arsenate OF lea with plenty OF
lime. to control the peach curculio ana
brown rot. A good many men n this
state have sprayed with arsenate OF lead
twice and have had very little peach
scab or brown rot. II seems that the
arsenate Of lead has considerable value
as a fungcide. and controlling curculio
almost controls brown rot so we recon-
mend either giving two sprayings Will
arsenate of lead, the second of which q
lcombined with self-boiled line-sulphur
and another one about one month befer
the fruit is ripe with self-boiled lime
sulphur alone; or we recommend the al
ternate plan OF spraying twice with Oh
arsenate OF lead using plainly Of lime
