HAZiN8 AT WEST POINT.

"6SI 4OAN1, July 4o.-4/asc fau-
vices from Washington announce the
expulsion of at least six cadets for
haziDg, on the commentlation of
Gen. Schofield. Ever since Gen. Soho.
field took command of this department,
he has used every effort to put stop to
hazing. His first move was to issue an
order against it, in which he said:
ssF'Or the comparatively intelligent and
strong to take unfair advantage of the
inexperienced, to harass and annoy
them, is an act unworthy civilized
man, and much more unbecoming an
officer and q gentleman. On the other
hand, to secure justice and protection
to the defenceless is the Office of the
gentle and the brave. The honor of
the corps of cadets as we'll as that of
the officers of the Academy requires
that the unkind treatment of new
cadets shall be wholly eradicated." It
was made the duty of tho first-class
and commissioned and non-commis-
stoned officers to see that the order was
faithfully carried out.
Last May, Lieut.-Col. Lazelle was
detailed here from the Indian country
to take charge of the cadets, with special
orders to prevent hazing. A month or
two ago members of the third class
showed q disposition to begin the prac-
tice on tho new corners, and have car
ried it so far that the result is an order
from Washington directing their ex-
pulsibn.
An interview with member of the
fourth class this morning tells the
story Of the wrongs committed. In the
rear of the grounds where the cadets
are in camp is ssthe sink" Whenever
members of the fourth class went there,
cadets of the third class followed. The
plebes were made to stand against the
wall and try to climb it, and were COM
PEELED to sing ssIm climbing Mount
Zion." Then water was squirted on
them through gaspipes. Some of them
were knocked down half dressed and
other indignities were put upon them.
A few nights ago some of the plebes
organized and resolved to fight their
t0rmenters at tsthe sinh, )" and rafting
fight did occur, in which some of the
plebes received black eyes, as did some
of the third class. By accident an
officer observed this scene, and as a
consequence many of the third class
were put under arrest, among them
actlets W. Stone, w. Allen, Langfitt,
Sherman, Walker, Gooden, Menden-
hall, whistler and Underwood. The
two last named belong to the fourth
class, and are still under arrest for re-
fusing to give tho names of members of
the third class engaged in the work.
1t is believed in camp that Allen,
Stone, Langftt, Sherman, Walker, and
Gordon, have been expelled. Allen
said he had no doubt he would have
to go, as his was cold case.

We must all get rid of this lethargy

have fettered us SO long. We have,

on n small scale, yet never were found
idle. They were always hard Mt work

wherever else their business called

consideration Is the fact that they nj

A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMNER.
Frost, Ice and Snow in Every Month, Sum

In contrast with this most remarkable sea-
son, we present some memoranda Of one OF an
opposite character years ago. 1t was the
year 1916.
There are but few people now living who
represent it as having been phenomenal in
almost every particular. In New England,
that year went by the name eighteen hun
dred and starve to DEATH" The winter was
very cold in Europe and comparatively mild
in this country, but the following summer
was the coolest ever known in the United
States.
January was mild, SO much so as to render
fires almost needless in parlors. December
previous was very cold.
February was not very cold; with the ex-
ception Of a few days, it was mild like its pre-
deceSsor.
March was cold and boisterous during the
first part of it; the remainder was mild. A
great freshet on the Ohio aud Kentucky rivers
caused great loss If property.
April began warm, but grew colder as it adj
temperature more like winter than spring.
May was more remarkable for frowns than

city OF opposite genders. There was nothing
in their appearance OF q cannbalistic nature
but as soon as the car became enveloped in
impenetrable darkness they began to sIobber
anu chew each other. La few minutes ray
of light was observed from the west end Of
this underground living sepulchre, and we
saw sight that made our blood stand on end.
In the dim light could be seen the forms Of

circled around her waist, and from the man
ner in which her eyes bulged out we became
convinced that he was a man of much muscle
That probably alone deferred US from inter

idle for she had his head in chancery. and
was biting at his nose with the persistency

We won't go through the tunnel any more,
especially il there IS a lady in the car.

deemed too late.
June was the coolest ever known In this lat

nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth

by the present generation that the year 1916
was a year In which there was no summer.
Very little corn ripened in New England and
the Middle States Farmers supplied them
selves from the corn produced in 1915 for the
seed of the spring OF 1917. 1t sold at from 81

September furnished about two weeks Of
the miidest weather OF the season. Soon
after the middle it became very cold and
frosty, and ice formed a quarter of an inch
thick.
October produced more than It's share Of
cold weather, frost and ice particularly.
November was very cold and clustering
Enough snow tell to make good sleighing.
December was quite mild and comfortable
The above is brief summary of "the cold
summer Of 1876" as it was called to dlstiu-
guish it from the cold season. The winter
was mild. Frost and ice were common in
every month III the year Very little vpgeta-

States. The suns rays seemed to be desti-

seemed to he clad in a sable hue. and man ex-
hibited no little anxiety concerning the future
of his life.

that year was SIS per barrel. The average
price Of wheat in England was ninety-seven

In addition to these great works j will men

crossing the Hohang Ho (as large as the Mis-
sissippi) and another great river.
Then there Is the Suez canal, in Egypt, 100
miles long, 26 feet deep by 1923 feet wide, cost
$50, 0OO, 000-ten years Of labor in sandy desert,
without harbor at either end and even water
to drink. | say when we consider all these
great works, why should we hesitate at such
an undertaking as the construction of the
Tehuantepec ship canal, that cannot cost
more than S30000000? It's Importance to the
commerce Of the Mississippi valley annually
can only be estimated BY the hundreds. Of
millions, and next to the Barataria ship
canal, which can be opened for small sum of
money it is the most important public work
in the world.
But this canal-like'the great, but neglected
Mississippi river. because it flows South-is
not located far enough north to receive that
attention its Importance requires.

NAMES LIQUOR LAW.
You Can Get a Nip Only by Yankee Strategy

| A correspondent Of the New York Graphic
has visited Maine, and claims to have gath
cred some knowledge as to the workings of
the liquor law of that State. He says that SO
strictly Is 1t enforced that you cannot get a
bottle OF sherry or brandy at a drugstore
| except upon the prescription OF physician,
and then the quantity sold is limited to a pint
in every instance. No wine is sold to be
drank at dinner in hotels. A persons pri-
vate supply must be replenished outside of
the State. The only authorized liquor dealer
is the State government. A Estate liquor
agent" Is appointed by the Governor, who
opens warehouse. Twenty citizens of any
town may petition to have q town agency
opened, and the Governor makes an investf-
cation OF the case. II he is favorabIy dis
| posed, @ town agent Is appointed, with liquors
from the State agency. When a person
wants pint of brandy he applies to the
local agent, but he cannot have 1t unless he
Is known to be reputable citizen, or can
find some "reputabie citizen to identity him
as such. The brandy is sold only for 'medici-
nal or mechanical purposes, the mechanical

book that Is open for the inspection Of the
public. Great care is supposed to be taken
against allowing this transaction to be re-
peated too frequently. SO much for the man
ner in which the law is enforced. Now as to
the manner In which the law is not enforced
The city of Portland has a population of
$4,000, and one local agent suffices to accom-
modate all the demands made in the legal
way, but 1t is not to be supposed that nearly
all OF those $4,000 people abstain from the use
of intoxicating liquors. Ourauthority states
that per cent Of them drink as much as they
would ii there We're a saloon on every corner
system OF social clubs prevails, by means
OF which the law Is successfully evaded. 1t is
described as follows: An ordinary club is or
gained, procures and furnishes rooms. A
sideboard is one Of the articles Of furniture,
and it is we'll laden. A member Of the club
drops in, helps himself, and extends the cour-
tesy OF the club to friend. The waiter in at
tendance registers the amount and quality of
the liquor drank, and at the end OF the month
the treasurer of the club assesses that ndi-
The popularity ,f these clubs throughout the

Recently h,1mming birds nest was found
by some persons who had sufficient natural
curiosity to overcome their compassion, and
who captured the nest, two young hummers
and the old one, took them home and had
them stuffed. They are to be sent to a rnu-
scum OF natural curosities In London. The
nest is built on little twig, and scarcely the
size of half an English walnut. Both nest
and twig are covered with little patches of
lichen until 1t is almost impossible to tell one
from the other, and the nest looks like kind
OF natural eXcrescence on the twlg. The nest
Is pliable, like tiny cup of velvet, and the
INSIDE is lined with a white substance as rich
and soft as silk. The little birds are about
the size Of humble bees, very pretty, and they
sit on little perch just outside the nest with
open bills, While the old bird hovers over
them to feed them Elizabeth N, J j journal
