No More Haziny.

Ihe school board did very wise
thing last night when it placed heavy
penalties on the barbarous custom of
haxing. IL Is practice that has long
ncen In vogue in our American colleges,
eping the custom of the English schools,
Every boy who has read "'rom Brown
- Rugby is familiar with some of the
practices Of the custom. Even the ideali-
sation Of Tom aud his experiences does
not soften the barbarity which is visited
upon the innocent boys at their entrance
70 the school. In our own country the
custom has found its worst and most
cruel expression in the naval and mill
larry schools, and expulsions for hazing

are not infrcquent occurrenccs at West
Point aud Annapolis. N
There can he no doubt about the dan
ger of hazing in any of its features. The
whole system IL bad one, and contrib
utcs absolutely nothing beneficial TO the
development OF boys and young men.
II is not manly practice. On the con-
trary 1t is usually carried out in the
cowardice of overwhelming numbers.
II is true that very often fellow will
walk into the college walls as II he
owned the whole solar system, and 1t is
absolutely necessary IL Is said Ito take
him down. not only for the comfort VI
his fellow students hut for his own posi-
tive good Whether this be done by
means of stretching" tossing In
blanket or by putting him under a
pump, makes very little difference to
the average undergraduate IL only his
bag Of self-conceit Ike punctured.
Whatever argument be made In favor
of this custom there Is no doubt that
even in colleges and higher institutions
of learning its practice has been pro
ductive Of vastly more harm than good.
There are many sports In which our
young men can engage 10 their perna-
nent physical and mental benefit Base
ball, lawn tennis, cricket and foot ball
are all sports that make n boy brave,
manly and spirited, his heart sound and
his brain vigorous.
The practice Of hazing in the high
school has always been dangerous to the
health and sometimes to the life of the
victims. The boys are younger than
college boys and for that reason
more imprudent and rash. Complaints
have frequently and with justice been
made by anxious parents, who feared
| for the delicate health Of their boy In
| the rough hands Of his more vigorous
schoolmate. And 1t has happened that
some parents will not allow their
children TO attend the high school be-
cause of this cruel custom. We have no
doubt the teachers have long been OPP
posed TO hazing, IA 1t is practiced, and
have done all they could to abolish IT,
Now that they are backed by the school
board with heavy penalties II IL to be
hoped this relic Of English barbarity
will he eradicated from our school sys.

Lifting n Chair with the Eyelide.

Bombay Letter In Cleveland Leader.
I saw two women juggiers at Jeypore.
They were bright, inteIIigent-lookingg girls,
one of whom appeared almost old enough
to be the mother of the other. They did
many wonderful things, ono of which was
mixing up sand in water, and then putting
the hand into the discolored fluid they
brought handful Of sand, which filtered
through their fingers rs dry as before 1t
went in. The Youngest of these
girls was, perhaps, fifteen. She was
tall, well-formed and fine-looking. She
had bracelets on arms and on feet, and her
ewes were as beautiful as those Of gazelle.
One of her tricks was the lifting of a heavy
chair by her cyelids, the thought of which
almost makes my eyes sore. The chair
was a heavy mahogany one, which be
longed to the room in which was staying.
She tied two strong strings TO the top OF
this and affixed the ends of these strings
TO her eyes by little round metal cups;
each about the size of nickel. These
fitted over the cye-balls and under the
lids, and she bent over while they were SO
fastened. Raising herself she pulled up
the chair with these strings with the mus
clcs of her eyelids and carried II from one
side Of the room TO the other. II was hor-
rible sight, and a. she took the meal cups
from her eyes they filled with water, and
she almost sank TO the floor. told horthe
trick was disgusting and that she ought
never to try il again. still, for this and
the rest of the show these girls we're well
satisfied with two rugees, or about ~ cents.

The free trade papers are continual.
ly bowling about the tariff being a
tax, and this in face of the fact that
experience has clearly proven that it is
not tax. They call it relic of the
war, a war tax, and demand that il
should be removed. There Is no
question that internal revenue is a
tax, neither can it be denied that it is
a tax that is paid by the home con-
sumner. Since Grover Cleveland was
elected president the people of this
country have been directly taxed to
the extent of 5000, 900, 600. The Re-
publicans of the last congress wanted
to remove large portion of this war
tax, for it is a war tax, but the Demo
Gratis would not hear to it. They in.
sisted that the reduction in revenue
must be made by reducing the tariff
and they fought for the Mills bill,
which cut and slashed the commodities
affecting northern industries, but
carefully preserved the protective
feature of such articles as the south
produced. The internal revenue is q
tax that is constantly growing. Fol-
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1885,
the internal revenue amounted to
$112, 498, 725. For the year ending the
so, of last June, it amounted to $50,
S94, 434, an increase in five years Of
$1S, 395, 700. This immense tax af
fords no protection to any industry
does not enhance the price of labor
one cent and yet the Democratic FIRE,
traders are opposed to its removal. :
