insect pests.
Ii. O. Howard of the Department of
Agriculture, writiug some time ago in
Orchard and Ciarden of the methods
used by him in killing slugs on his
rosebushes, says:
"When a dry spell came the leaves
turned brown at once and an examina
tion showed tuem to be covered with
slugs ia all sUges of growth. I eprajed
them witb a tobacco-soup solution
which killed thrm at once bnt stained
the petals brown at tbe top. I puffed
on pyrethrum mixed with spoiled Hour,
which also killed them, but priethrum

with sifted coal aHhes which also killed
them bnt made tbe bn-bta look naxty.

beautiful, and free from slugs. This
strong stream of water I found was a
most desirable thing; it blew the plant-
lice off my currant biiHlies; it thorough

therefore, pure water, without "trim

MJS3 EAME3.
IjOkdok, May, 1891. ,
America has sent ns many fine vocal
ists in recent years. Her latest rep
resentative ia Miss Emma Eamee, who
within the bar fortnight that tha Lon
don musical world has knows her, has
won the suffrages of that critical pub

performance. Technically Miss amea
is :not a native of the States. Her
friend, the Chinese Ambassador
Paris, who has a keen appreciation of
her singing, likes indeed to call her'wneulno womfn.m " '

Ler years, the handsomer proportion
bus been given to America.
Miss Eamei comes of a highly music
al stock, although no member of her
family before herself has joined the
professional ranks. Mrs. .Lames is a
highly accomplished musician, and was
her daughter's earliest teacher. Hhe
did not for a long time forsee or desire
that her daughter should go upon the
operatic stage; but when it became
manifest that her musical destiny would
summon her thither, she did not hap
pily for the puliio endeavor to re
strain the development of Miss Eanies'
great gifts. At .Boston, Miss Karnes
was heard for a short time at some of
the principal churches and at concerts;
but the day came presently when one
of the principal teachers under whom
she had been studying said to her, "I
can teach you no more now, and no
one in America can teach you what yon
still want to learn. For that yon must
go to Europe." So to Europe or,
more narrowly indicated. Pans Miss
Earn es and her mother came some live
years ago. Then followed a spell of
very hard work under the direction of
Mme. MarcbeaL Afterwards, when
tbe foundation was laid for fnture
operatic success, Miss Eamea went to'
some of the principal composers to '
learn at first hand how they intended i
that their creations should be interpret
ed, (iounod was especially kind to
her, and gave her many helpful sugges
tions for her rendering of Marguerite,
and Juliette. She speaks In enthusias
tic terms of the master, and amongst
her most cherished possessions are por
traits of the great man, inscribed with
charming expressions of interest in his
pupiL
Miss frames agrees with other artists
in declaring ttiat the Parisian public is
the most difficult to please of any in
matters musical. "You must lie per
fect in everything," she says, "ierfei't
in enunciation, in toue, in gesture, in
everything, and then you must act with
certain amount of spirit, but if the
measure is overpassed, they are dis
pleased. If the Parisians observe too
much r.Ian in your performance, they
say that your style is Italian and that
is fatal!" On this subject Miss Eames
endorses the opinion of Dumas Jils, who
savs that the r rench are not a musical
nation like the Oarmans and the Ital
ians, bnt that they "know more about
musio than any nation. JWiss ruaines
has now at all events the satisfaction of
knowing that, having won her laurels
in Paris, the tribute of other capitals
will follow as a matter of course.
One minor drawback to her French
training, however, was revealed to her
when she was called upon, after only
one rehearsal, to sing the part of Elsa
in "JjObengrln last Saturday. She
had positively not so much as seen the
opera performed for five years; Wag
ner's music being of course under a
Iiolitical "taboo in 1 arts. Conseiinent
T she was obliged to trust to the in
spiration of the moment for her drama
tic reading of the part. But if viewed
as a liiece of actinir. we Londoners
could have wished fi r a shade more
of that tlan to which oar Oallio neigh
bors object, her gestures, if few, were
extremely appropriate, aud her po.-es

bride, she turns upon her enemy one
glam-e of pure scorn were full of dra
matic beauty. With regard to her vo
cal endowment, it is needless to add
an thing to the words of our mnntcal
critic It is one of those few voices
that are full of personal character, and
the most striking quality about it is its
richness of timbre, it goes without
saying that all that study and carefnl
training conld do to add to its flexibility
and to perfect it as an instrument.
have been done with tho utmost suc
cess.
During the present week Miss Earaes
has been singing three times at Covert
Garden; on Monday in "Faust," ou
Wednesday in "Itoraeo et Juliette."
and on Friday in "Lohengrin," bnt.
tbis rate of performance must be looked
upon as an exception, for Mrs. Eames
is a careful guardian of her daughter's
voice, aud holds that an opera twice a
week is quite a sufficiently exacting
strain npon her physical strength, as
ndeed most mothers would agree.
Miss Eames by no means ignores the
spectacular side of the opera. Since
her tli hut last week, she has permitted
the ladies amongst her andiences aud
possibly the gentlemen besides - to en-
oy the sight of some unusually splen-
d dresses. iui.-s iJimes brings all
her costumes from Paris, and is very
particular that they should be suitable
to the circumstances of the part. To
take a small instance, in "Lohengrin"
it has been customary for Elsa to make
her first appearance iu a low-necked
bodice and with bare arms. Miss
Eames very properly considered that a
f'riucess who had come before tho
Kmc of Germany to inet tlm over
whelming accuMttion of having mur
dered her brother, would be in no mood
to assume such festive raiment. Miss
'Junes accordingly covers her head
and person in such s:ft white veiling
drapi ries as are suited to her humiliated
condition. Matters of this kind are
apparently small, but inasmuch as they
have a bearing upon the total impres
sion, a true artist such as Miss Eamus
will never overlook them.
In private Miss Eames enjoys a celeb
rity for the conversational gifts which
be shares with some of her fellow
couutrymen; and, from her long resi-
icuce in l arif, sue talks equally well
French and in English. She takes
a lively interest in the literary, drama
tic, aud artistic questions of the day,
ami as whatever she has to say aliout
them is freth and individual, her Lon
don pied-a t.-rre (which those who
know its whereabouts are under a seal
of secrecy not to reveal) is likely sjon
to be as much tue resort of people of
"light and leading" as was her salon in
the line Boissiere. The Prince and
Princess of Wales have been amongst
tbe first to congratulate the young art
ist, and Lady de Rothschild by whose
invitation to sing at her house "she ob

HOUSEHOLD WOBK.
Since the days of our grandmother
the plaoe assigned to nousehold work
in social estimation has been a gradu
ally descending one. Ibis la only a
natural result of the reaction from the
' then pervading notion that women
ought to e inline their whole attention
l to such work, that thev were unfit for
anything else, and that it was for the
- . . . ,
good of the body
good of the body politic that every in
terest outside or tne nome snouiu do
left in the hands of men. Indeed,
"ere waa a ume vpia uvlng memory
rendered by many during that period
to the country at liirge. In such prog
ress every right-minded man anil
woman must rejoice. Why, as one of
the results of this culture, and running
alongside of it, should not an effort be
made to restore house! old work to its
old place of honor and dignity? The
two are by no means incompatible;
indeed, the one should help the other.
That such an effort is neccessary will
le universally acknowledged, and the
earnest consideration of thoughtful
women should be given as to how it
may best be made. The estimation in
which home life, in the true old sense,
is still happily held, is too high for sug
gestions as to co-operative housekeeping
being accepted as a way out of the dif
ficulty, although some arrangement
might suit a certain proportion of fami
lies and of individuals. In nine cases
oat of ten, when housekeeping troubles
are under discussion, tne position is
assumed and maintained, that nothing
can be done becam-e of the inefficiency
of present-day servants. With the
servant difticnlty we are just now con
cerned, and there is nothing to be
1 ein ''y nooncing them. . I he fact
iuiibl ihj laceu, luai m crisis iu uojuesiic
arrangements is very slowly but equal
ly surely approaching. Eet every girl
be fully persuaded iu her own mind,
and deliberately choose her own work.
At the same time let all who value well
ordored home life for its own sake, and
for the sake of their country's good,
consider anxious! how it mar be pre
served. Jot so ruauy yenrs ago sick
nursing was held in lower estimation
than domestic service is now. it was
looked on as work fit only for women
who were incapable of doing anything
else, and the nursing of some of the
best hospitals in thu country was in the
hands of women who would have had
ditlioulty in obtaining employment in
any respectablo private honse. What
changed all this, and what raised the
calling of a sick nurse to its present
honored and honorable osition? The
change began as the result of the public
enthusiasm created by the splendid ser
vices of Florence Nightingale to her
sick and dying conntrymen in the Cri
mea. Since that time women in every
rank of life have qualified themselves by
thorough and efficient training to enter
the service, and their example has had
undoubted influonce for good on nurses
of every grade. An infusion of some
thing of the same ojiint is wanted for
household work, if all the misery,
ill-health, discontent, and ill-temer
for which ignorance of such work must
be held responsible "could be summed
np and revealed, educated women
would surely le inspired to come to
tho rescue. Take for example the
kiteben department of a honse. Physi
cians tell us that dyspepsia reduces tho
working power of the men and womeu
of the world more than anything else,
and that dysjiepsia is in the most cote-i
the result of badly cooked food. If
every girl spent a few months of her
life in learning even the first principl- s
of tbe art, this malady might gradually
le stamped out. In addition, a knowl
edge of this and other honsebold arts
would enable a housekeeper to no
through her work in a fourth of the
time required by an ignorant, blunder
ing woman; and the time gained could
be devoted to professional, scientific,
or artistic work, as the rase might be.
Make it the fashion and the ensfom for
girls of the npper and middle classes
to learn every detail concerning the
keepibg up of a honse, and those lie
neath them in social rank will quickly
loilow their example. 1 raining school.

just after the Grippe had visited that
country. "I am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and

Winter I was on a trip to the City

with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Griooe
came along and I caught that also

vaqneroa I used to ride with could
pick up a pin on the rrotind wiia the
horse at full gallop. The rider would
hitch the spnrrjn one foot in the sinch
of the horse, and the little bells on the
heel, falling into the rowel f the
spur would hold the foot as firmly to

Then the rider could throw his whole
body out of the amldle and could
reach the very smallest object on the
ground. Nowadays the cowboys don't

Taint Old chronic cases that physicians declare incurable;
are cured in every instance where S. S. S, has had a fair
trial
I honestly believe that S. S. S., saved
my life. I was afflicted with the very
worst type of contagious blood poison
and was almost a solid sore from head
to foot. The physicians declared my
case hopeless. I quit everything else
and commenced taking S. o. S. After
taking a few bottles I was cured sound

his change. The conductor had his
head turned away, but of a sudden he
dropped his rijht hand, caught tho
ptiier man's wrist, and wiih a move
which seemed the easiest thing in the
world he bent the fellow's arm back
and broke it with a snap. As the
bone broke the victim's clenched hand
opened and a lot of silvor was scattered
on the platform
"Got enough?" asked the conductor,

"Then gil."
