cAeeLa FoR TRIES ANo PLANTS.

Various Nc;hudS rruciiccd. Including
Permanent and Transient Labels.
The subject for consideration at late
meeting of the Massachusetts Hort icul-
turih society was Methods of Labelling
Trees and Plants" In All essay on the
subject read 10y Robert r. jackson. the
Suggestion is made that as labor costs
generally more than anything else it is
economy to provide good labeis-labels
that will last long time. Metals were
named rs best material for durability
Zinc is the metal most commonly used. as
ii is reasonably impcrishablc. cheap and
readily handled Bright. clean zinc may
be written on with an aqueous solution Of
chloride of platinum or chloride of cop
pcr-thc former is probably tho better.
They may be obtained Of chemists or pur-
chased under the name Of chemical inks
for zinc labels. a quill pen should be
used in writing with them. The zinc
should be prepared for them by cleaning
with fine emery paper or very weak muri-
attic acid. the latter being preferable. as it
is not So likely TO be followed by cXten-
sivc oNidizaton, so injurious to the
writing Use a rag dipped in weak
acid and rinse in clean water After
writing nothing farther is necessary.
Zinc. when slightly rouGhcncd by oxidiza-
ton may be written upon with o soft lead
pencil and the graphite soon becomes in.
dclibly fixed on the zinc. and is quito as
permanent as chemical ink The labels
may be sufficiently oxidized by leaving
them few weeks i'll u damp place. This
s much the quickest way Of making any
metal labels, and makes one OF tho best
labels for outdoor purposes, They have
been seen perfectly clear after ten years'
exposure
Zinc labels may also have the names OF
plants or catalogue numbers stamped with
steel dies The letters arc rendered
clearer by rubbing black paint into the
lines after stamping This is an extremely
good and permanent method, but II tho
labor of stamping is to be expended it
would be better to use copper or pure tin.
Iron or timed iron is frequently used
for labels especially for trees and
botanic gardens Tho surface IL 6rst
painted neutral color. and the namo is
then painted in contrasting color This
makes an expensive but very neat and
attractive label where large ones hro
needed. Good examples may be seen on
| the trees on Boston common, which are
| painted In two shades Of brown
White pine is the wood in most common
usc and is presumably the best of easily
obtained woods. Probably tho best way
to preserve wool to be written on Is to
soak it in linseed oil. and then to paint on
both sides. reserving q space for writing.
Thin garden labels 80 prepared have been
! perfectly sonnd after nine years exposure
in the grounds.
The active horticulturist has frequent
needs for transient label as for hybrid
lied flowers, seedlings to be separated ou;
at the end of the season. etc. For such
purposes paper labels with string ioopeC
through perforation in the margin. sucl
as are used In tagging goods, are very
J useful They arc easily attached to th,
plant or flower, and last perfectly wei
throughout the season.

Abolition ETcctcc in Brazil.

Washington May 15.--The Brazil
ian legation in this city has receiv.
ed information from Rodrigo Silva
minister Of foreign affairs, that the
Brazilian Parliament has approved
the Government bill completely
abolishing slavery, and that it had
been sanctioned by the Regent ON

also states that this action met with
extraordinary manifestations of
joy.

"Thc President directs mo TO

Soldiers "tndcr Fire."

There is nothing to correspond
with the feeling experienced by Il
soldier under fire.
Take, for instance, the average
man, the man who is neither very
brave nor Il great coward. In all
his life he could scarcely have had
any sensation to compare with that
Of hearing the ping of the first bull
let OF IN approaching fight.
There is Il Spitcful sound as the
ball sings by the ear, or splitting
sound rs IT cuts Il twig above the
soldiers head.
searching sound as the shell comes
in spirals, as ifto twist itself into
his vitalS. No man knows until he
has once been under fire whether
he can depend upon himself or not.
With . majority it at once be-
comes Il struggle between pride,
will, Il natural desire to stand up
and be a man, and II natural temp
tation to finch.
There is II wonderful rcadiust-
ment of the standing of officers and
men in n command after the first
fight. n number who have been
regarded the best men lose their
high places in twinkling, and
here and there some one Of whom
nothing was expected steps right
up to the front.
Some men who will face any
amount of musketry firing can't
stand the sound of shell; and
vice versa. 1t is II mistake to sup
pose that u soldier gets used to
"hrc" by being exposed in u mum.
bcr of battles. With each battle
he becomes more timid.
Yet veterans are more to be de-
pended upon than raw troops.-
This is partly because they are bet
ter disciplined, partly because they
have gone through similar scenes,
and partly because they are more
reliant on each other and their Of
ficerS.
1T is true, men will in q measure
get used to fire by hsing long ex-
posed to it, rs at Nicksburg. -
There the Union troops were un-
der Il continued regular fire ion
months. Being for the most part
wellprotcctcd, they soon saw that
the shells did comparatively little
damage, and the projcctile which
curved in the air to light among
them did not excite anything like
the trepidation n similar first shot
would excite 0ut on IN open
field. In other words, they became
in II measure accustomed to the
lbombs.
Bravery, rs 1t is usually under
stood, is largely dependant upon
physical conditions, and Is sup
posed by some physicians to come
from the action OF the heart. 1t il
said OF Napolean i. that under tin
most profound excitement. on tn,
eve Of battle, his pulse never raj
above some forty to fifty beats t,
the minute, whereas the aVo rag
pulse Of adults is about seventy.
Whether bravery is the result q
physical condition or no, 1t is ceI
tain that it is much easier tor som
, people TO he brave than others, an,
, many hold that all men are COW
ards at heart Atany rate Fredei

which were received with storms
of applause. He proposed that Il
sta hdlng committee be appointed

consist Of five members, to carry
out us far rs possible these instruct
ions:
"Fhat each committee shall at
tend their respective Legislature
to use all honorable means loOlinp
to the reduction of the number Of
medical schools in the United
states, and as Il consequence dinin-
ton in the annual number of mod
ical graduates: that to this end thcy
urge the passage ofa law requiring
that in the granting Of charters for
medical schools there shall be IA
clause for every charter requiring
that all medical schools or colleges
shall demand IL full terms of four
years study before granting Il di-
plOma to any students and that no
student shall be admitted to matri-
culatc who has not passed salts
factory cNalsination both oral and
written, in the ordinary branches
of academic study; and, further
that any college failing to show Il
greater number than fifty matricul-
atcs annually for three consecutive
years, shall forfeit the charter and
be abolished.
"Tnat the facilities Of the medi-
cal schools be urgently requested
to call aconvcntion to adopt some
general and uniform system of

hcnsivc and rigid in its rcuuir-
nlcnt, and more in accord with the

"That any college or school
which shall refuse to enter into

SOUTH CUCAMONGL

Is no new town in the midst of an unpopu
lated district, but is right in the centre of
the finest improved portion of the Great
Cucamonga Valley, and is bound to become
u business centre.
Owing to its great richness the soil pro-
duces the finest oranges and lemons grown
in the State, peaches, apples, pears, figs
almonds and walnuts, and the finest of wine
and raisin grapes. AS proof of the great

Freight received at South Cucamonga de-
pot, for the year 1887, amounts to the enor-
meus sum OF 5,322,375 pounds; shipments
from said depot for the same period, 2,039,-
OPS pounds; thus showing the importance
OF this rapidly growing locality as a ship
ping point for the surrounding country.
A first-class livery stable will be opened
Immediately.
