Der 1.-THE disciplinary commit

has been occupied with the trial oil
u number Of students who were
charged with having haz.d five
students on n night last week
The brst indicttion Tint anything
was wrong was the announcement
received by u numbsr Of students
that they had been expelled from
the University for hazing, and the
men who had gone through the
mill were suspended for contemp,
Of the mittee.
They refused to tell on the men
who had been connected with the
hozlng, and the men tried in every
way to got it out OF them. The
committee is composed Of tho
president OF the University, COM
mandant of cadets and the dean OF
the college of agriculture, or DR..
Raymond, Prof. Fast aud Prof.
Atkinson.
A dozen or more students were
summoned before the committee
aud they all expected to be expelled.
After the matter was INQUIRED
into a little further all the men
but two were rcinstated. The
grounds for taking them back were
that they were men Of excellent
standing and that they had never
before been mixed up in anything
OF the kind. The other men had
poor records aud they were dropped
on that account.
The result of the action will be
that hazing. which has not existed
FOR several years. with the c

New York World: Sailors have long
told tales Of magnetic islands which
lure ships on to wreck by affecting
their compasses. At these accounts
the scientists have scoffed.
Scientists have in their time scoffed
at a great many things since proved
true.
And the scientists were wrong who
denied the existence of magnetic
islands. An island, not far away from
civilization, and recently discovered,
but near the coast of Europe and
known for centuries to the geographers,
has this quality. This is the Island OF
Bordholm, which belongs to Denmark,
and lies in the Baltic sea neal the shore
of Prussia.
The power of attraction which comes
from this island alters considerably
the reading of compasses on passing
ships. 1t is in effect a vast magnet,
whose influence is perceptible for a dis
lance of about ten miles.

Bermuda Women.


From the Philadelphia Telegraph:
Bermuda women are excellent house,
wives, and bring up large families of
children, some of the most favored
young folks being sent to the United
States for educational advantages. In
matters of etiquette they are far more
strict than Americans. AS a rule they
are we'll to do and live comfortably,
while some of them possess ample
means, and enjoy much luxury. In
Bermuda, as in England, property, es-
pecially real estate, remains in the
same families for long periods, and
some of the descendants of the first set
tiers still possess lands which have
never passed out of their families. 1t
is just this conservatism about prop
erty which causes the superabundance
of spinsters. No alien can acquire a ii.
tie to land in Bermuda. either by pur-
chase or inheritance. This is chiefly
a precautionary measure against the
Portuguese, who flock to the country
and go in largely for onion growing.
But the law provides that if a woman
marries a foreigner she shall lose her
landed property, and shall also become
incapable of inheriting any. This law
is naturally not popular with the la
dies, who see their brothers mate with
Americans and other aliens, and would
fain have the same liberty. Occasion
ally Bermuda girls renounce their
birthrights for loves sake, but, as a
rule, the charms of %penniless maidens
are not sufficient for young men to de-
sire them for wives, and thus many
girls are doomed to single b~lessednes.

land,
