Department show that some of the most gallant
officers of the army were punished for
this offence during their cadetship ut
West Point it is thought by the officers OF the
War Department that the ends OF discipline would
thus be amply served. The recent publication IN
the HERALD of the official order relating to Cadet
Schohelds punishment in connection with
hazing is supplemented with the information
that General Speridan turned back
for making free with his fists upon the
face OF an under cadet. The Secretary of War adds
that the country would have had reason to regret
the dismissal of either Schoheld or Sheridan. and
the probability is that the six cadets recently
dismissed will have opportunity OF associating
with the plebes whom they sought to initiate into
the mysteries of army life

Eucalyptus.

Mr.. A. S. White, Riverside, CAL,
after the most thorough investiga-
tion," based on sorry experience and
correspondence with leading horticul-
turists of the State, cut down 1900
trees of Eucalyptus globulus, regard
ing them as unsightly and inappropri-
ate tor avenue or ornamental use.
The RmM Press, commenting on
this action and the reason for it, re-
marks that the distavor springing up
on the Pacific Coast regarding this
importation from Australia is doubt
less owing to the fact that Coliforni-
ans, who have planted it very largely,
have expected too much Of it; have
considered it a sort of universal good,
whereas it has special adaptations. 1t

that it "starves all vegetation within

New Parasites i'll Lemons and
Oranges.

The New York Journal Of Com.
naerce calls attention to a fact of
special interest to orange growers.
1t says: Among the lemons and
oranges now arriving from Sicily are
noticed many specimens covered and
spoiled i'll appearance by small
brown blotches.s Under a magnifier
these spots seem to be composed Of
dead grubs. In the lemons thus at.
fected which we have examined, the
injury is only superficial. Theipara.
sites are slightly buried in the sur
face of the peel and easily scraped
off. but, until removed, they injure
the saleable qualities Of the fruit, and
we are not astonishcd to hear that
lemons are cheap in this market
This new pest of the vegetable
world became first known to COM
MERGE last year, when 1t was OBJ
served on Sicily lemons and oranges.
1t may be found on those species of
fruit from all the Mediterranean ports
but chiefly Messina and Palermo.
The cargoes arriving this year show
increased signs of this ugly-looking,
unnamed creatures work. Fruit deal
ers are becoming anxious lest it may
effect not only the whole crop OF i'm
ported lemons and oranges, but the
home growth also. 1t is said that
some Florida oranges are injured in
the same way, the parasite having
been carried to Florida by lemons
from Sicily, and transferring itself to
the orange trees from a piece of
lemon peel csrelessly thrown on the
ground. The grub differs from the
phylloxera, which is an insect attack
ing the roots Of vines, ana very de-
structive to them. 1t also has no re-
semblance to the fungus known as
odium, which covers the surface OF
grape vines with minute down-like
filaments. 1t is worthy of the imme-
date study of entomologists and fruit

The WhiStIing Tree,

Did you ever hear of whistling
tree? 1t is found in Africa, and is a
STANCE looking object, with branches
as white as chalk. 1t has long thorns
the inside of which is the tavorite
home Of some tiny insect. When
this creature crawls out into the
world, he of course leaves the door
open behind him-that is to say, the
small hole through which he crawled.
Now the wind, blowing through the
tree when the leaves are of, makes
musical noise in these hollow thorns,
so that it sometimes sounds like thou
sands Of flutes playing at once. The
natives call it the whistling tree
1t. Melodies.

Tomatoes.

The difficulty in raising tomatoes
is that we make the ground too rich
This favors the growth Of vines rath-
er than that of fruit. On the other
hand, if the soil is made poor enough
TO grow fruit well, there will not be
enough OF the stalk; the crop will
be too small. This can be remedied
by planting closer, say three hills in
stead of two. But there will be
lack, to some extent, of the size and
fine quality of the fruit. All this
can be obviated and TIE largest and
best crops grown without any waste
of vine growth. Thus, by keeping
the growth in hand. feeding the plant
as is wanted for its different stages
of growth until up to the bearing
period, it will give sufficient vine for
full crop. The check i'll the growth
of the vine will favor the starting Of
the fruit and push it forward, but per-
haps not SO much as is desired. If.
now, the vine is not fed, it will rap
idly tuln pale and its growth come to
a standstill. AS soon as the fruit be-
gins to push and the plant shows
signs OF exhaustion, give it manure
in the liquid form-so as to work
promptly as is wanted. Ina week or
ten days the plant will begin to
deepen its color, with but little en-
largement OF the vine, the fruit,
meantime, pushing with a force that
is most gratifying. The current,
once directed 20 the fruit, is not easily
turned back, but will continue until
it has weighed down the vine with
it's burden, ripening and growing new
fruit. But in order to do this, there
must be a growth of the vine to
form new clusters of the fyuit. Here
comes in the nice point, SO as not to
push this too much and withdraw the
current from the fruit the direction
in favor of the fruit must be kept up
allowing, on the other hand, suffic.
lent force to keep forming the buds
for new fruit.

in California has induced earlier use:
Our contemporary thinks that mis-
take may have been made in giving at
tention exclusively to the Eucalyptus
globulus, and that it will probably be
worth while for railroad companies
and public-spirired citizens to secure
seed of several others Of the lone
hundred and fifty specimens Of the
Eucalyptus family, of widely diverse
habits and characteristics" and see II

sirable.-N. Y. Tribune.

where it is produced, during periods
of famine.
A fiber is prepared from the leaves
of this palm, which is used for fish
ing lines and bowstrings. CONNER
cially, it is known as kittool fiber and
Indian gut in the English market. 1t
is strong and durable; though it will
resist the action of water for a long
time, it is yet apt to snap if suddenly
bent or knotted. 1t is now used IN
brush making. During late years

has been small for want OF stock !;

to I'd. In Ceylon the split trunks
are used as rafters, and are found
very hard and durable. The fiber OF
the leaf-staiks is made into ropes, and
used for tying wild elephants. The
woolly substance found at the bottom
of the leaves is employed occasion,
ally for caullung ships. According to
Buchanan, the trunks of this palm
are the tavorite food OF elephants.
The fruit, which is about the size OF
plum, has thin, yellow rind, very
acrid, and il applied to the tongue
will produce a burning sensation.
Hence the specific name Of the tree.
The seeds are used by Mohamedans
as beads.
Another misnamed sage palm is
the Cyca8 revoI,aa, Wild, native
of Japan. 1t is, in that empire,
grown in plantations around the
houses. The seeds are eaten, and an
inferior kind of sage made from the
central stem, whence it has received
the name of sage palm, although the
true sage, as we have seen, is the
product of the S0gus Ratnap/t5s
palm.
Sage is easily obtained from the
interior part or trunks of these trees.
The crocess consists in pounding the
spongy or cellular texture OF the stem
sometimes enormously called the
pith-and washing it with water,
which is starined, to separate the 'lig-
neous fbers from the tecula. Sage
is grained by moistening the flour
and passing it through sieve into a
shallow iron pot that is suspended
over a fire, by which means it as
sumes a globular form. In conse-
quence Of being half baked during
the process of granulation, it may be
kept long time without undergoing
a chemical change.
According to DR.. Hamilton, a
kind of sage flour is prepared from
the nut of Cycas circinnadJis, which
is much used by the poorer classes OF
natives and forest tribes Of Malabar
and Cochin. The nuts are dried in
the sun for about "a month, pounded
in a mortar, and the kernel made
into flour.
