Barbarous Eazing.

Hazing in Allegheny College, Mead
vile, Penn, is peculiarly barbarous. A
captain was chosen the other day, masks
and DISCUSSES were assumed, and the
gang, eighteen in number, proceeded to
a part Of the hall occupied by the in
tended victims. They found one of the
boys out of bed, half dressed, and the
other in the hall The latter was made
to get up, and, with his companion, was
ordered to strip. Then the name OF the
members of the faculty was calledsout,
and pseudo professors went up to the
stove, and taking quantity of SCOT
made marks on the bodies of the vic
Tins. This ceremony over, one of the
hazers called for the Lords Prayer,
which was begun by one Of the victims,
but not finished. Then a speech was
demanded. The orator was placed on
trunk, but as he was proceeding some
one Of the party threw bucl,etful Of
dirty water in his face. Measures were
immediately taken TO ferret on. the Of
tenders. The boy who threw the water
had been accused OF turning traitor.
However this may be, the names We're
ascertained, and five of the eighteen
were suspended until April 6. 1880.
To express their sympathy with their
fellow students, and their disapproba-
ton of the action of the faculty, the col
legians determined to give the boys "A
good send-of,," and for that purpose
subscriptions to hire carriage for the
exiles and pay for the band were raised.
Some OF the notices were "Verily,
Justice is blind = 1--WE denounce pun
ishnent without trial ;" Give poor
devils are out in the cold thirteen
others are safe in the fold )" "All or
none consistency, thou art Jewel.
At the depot, college songs were sung
and brief speeches made.

Queen Victoria's Foot Guards

Of the officers in Queen Victoria,
foot guards, II are of Irish, 80 of Scotch
and 205 of English birth. In the
household cavalry, 60 are English, II
Scotch, and 10 Irish. in the whole
army there are 1913 English, 1856
Irish, and 785 Scotch officers. There
are three regiments of foot guards, the
Grenadier, Coldstreams and the Scots
guards. Their officers are, as a class,
more highly connected than the officers
in the household cavalry, and a man
seldom gets into the foot guards unless
he has large infusion Of blue blood in
his veins. The members Of the guards
club are restricted to the foot regiments.
A large proportion of the foot guards
are con posed of younger sons, and there
is thus great diversity of means in a
regiment, one officer being heir or per-
haps possessor of thrice rs many thou
sands year as another has hundreds.
AS a rule, they are an inferior class Of
men intellectually, but the adjutants are
almost invariably very smart officers.
The guards are almost always in London
or at Westminster-occa in
camp at Aldershot. Until recently a
battalion was always quartered at Dub
lin, the theory being that they go where
there is court but this has been given
up of late. On rare occasions they go
abroad, and thus served in the Crimea,
at Waterloo and in Canada. To be in
the guards is considered social distinc-
ton, and would always enable man to
command an entrance into very good
society, even if he were not born to such
advantages.-N. Y. Sun.

Letter Written by Byron.

Among the letters which Lord Byron
wrote TO friends in England during his
first tour abroad, one dated at Athens,
in November, 1910, and not given by
Moore, was recently published for the
first time. He had left England soon
after the English Bards" came out,
and on his return brought with him the
first two cAntos of "Childe Harold. N
In this letter he says: "My works are
likely to have a powerful effect with a
vengeance, as I hesr Of divers angry
people whom it is proper I should shooS
at by way Of satisfaction. Be it so.
The same impulse which made 'Otho a
warrior will make me one also. My
domestic affairs being, moreover, con-
siderably arranged, my appetite for
travelling pretty well satiated with my
late peregrinations, my various hopes in
this world almost extinct, and not very
brilliant in the next l trust ! shall 50
through the process with q crsditabls
rang froid, and not disgrace line OF
cut-throat ancestors" He alludes to
the fact that he is "happily not married,
and in speaking of the marriage of his
friend Drury, says he will never forgive
matrimony " for having spoiled such an
excellent bachelor" Byron was not
married until five years later The
death of his mother occurred just after
he reached England, and while he was
on his way from London to News,ead.

THE FROGS SERMON.

Frocgies came from far and near,
Words of wisdom there to hear.
.'Jug-rum!' croaked solemn frog,
Seated on moss grown log.
Little froggies, listen all
Bad names you must never call.
But each little froggie green
Whispered; ME he cannot mean;
How Z pity all the others:
Take this warning, sisters, brothers.'
Then the old frog rolled his eyes,
And he looked up so wondrous wise;
Unto others always do
What you'd have them do to you.
Little froggies often fight;
Do YOU think this can be right:
Some are selfish and unkind,
Some will not their parents mind.
Thought each little froggie: ''Truly.
Other frogs are most unruly!
Little froggies now take heed.
Gentle be in word and deed,
Sighed each little froggie dear:
How | hope my neighbors hear
All the little froggies went
On their way in sweet content.
They were puzzled to determine
When they'd heard q better sermon.
Maybe there's a moral hidden
Other frogs will see unbidden.

have in that State formed large asoocia-
tons to resist the claims, and Mr.
Baker has received petitions for relief,
signed by hundreds Of the victims. The
second bill which he has introduced pro
vides that no suit for alleged infringe
ment, such as these claims propose to
bring, shall be brought or maintained in
any court having jurisdiction in patent
cases, ''where it shall appear that the de-
PENDANT, or any persons through or from
whom he derives title thereto, purchased
the patented article in good faith from
the manufacturer thereof, or from per-
son or firm engaged in the open sale or
practical application thereof, and applied
the same to and for his own use, and n ot
for sale, nor for manufacturing a pro-
duct for sale
If this bill be rejected by the Commit
tee on Patents, to which it was referred,
he hopes that the same committee will
report favorably upon his third bill,
which provides that in the case Of any
suit for infringement, brought under the
circumstances described in the second
bill IF the plaintiff shall not recov 2
a Judgment in damages Of $40 or over,
the court shall adjudge that he pay all
the costs of the suit, including reason
able attorneys fee to the defendant, and
if the plaintiff shall not recover a judg-
ment in damages of $50 or over, the
court shall adjudge that he pay all the
costs of the suit" BY urging the pass
age of these measures for the protection
of the farmers of his State, Mr.. Baker
will gain the thanks Of many men in the
East who are their brethren in suffering.
Thousands of farmers scattered all over
the country, have been the innocent vic
tins of practices such as Mr.. Baker is
endeavoring to prevent.

Wedding Experiments.

A hard working girl was recently
married in Groten, N. Y, bought the
groom's wedding clothes, paid the mar
riage fee, and all other expenses.
Two octogenarians on what was re-
garded as their bridal tour were deserted
on the cars near Rutland, VT, one day
last week. They We're Amos Parker,
the New Hampshire poet, and his bride,
formerly Miss Julia Smith, of Connect
cut. The marriage ceremony was cele-
brated last March, just after Miss Smith
mad passed her eighteenth birthday, and
the groom was only few years her
senior. Miss Smith was one of the
Smith sisters.
A Wisconsin youth OF GO wished to
wed widow of Pine Island of proper
tionate age. The guests were present,
trunks packed, and team waiting to
take them to the train. The justice en-
tered, the parties joined hands, the wit
nesses stood up, the Justice asked for the
license there was none. The couple
were in distress, for they wanted to
leave that night Esquire Hagler was
equal to the situation. Remembering
that the lady WAS of years of discretion,
and moreover widow, lie counseled
them to consider themselves married

A Trojan who had agreed to marry Q

"Well, if Fred don't come, I'll marry
you myself" to which the bride-expect-
ant replied: 81 always liked you better

marry YOU Fred did not come. The

Although the near approach to the
earth of several comets has been known,
the least distances of only two have
ever been determined with any degree Of
accuracy. On July l, l770, comet
was within 100000 miles of the earth
the closest'approach of one Of these
bodies Of which astronomers have any
certain knowledge. Its apparent d.
ameter was two and ne-half degrees, or
nearly five times the apparent diameter
of the moon. 1t is not surprising that
the eppErition Of such monster should
cause panic Of terror among unenlight-
en,d and supersiitious inhabitants of
the earth.
