CADET ETIQUETTE.
Some Anomalies OF the Rules of Social
Life ut West Point.

The etiquette of West Point is cer-
tainly a curious institution. 1t has been
evolved out Of the peculiar conditions
which exist at the military academy,
and only those who have been there can
fully appreciate how harmless and prop
err il seems in It's surroundings.
For instance, when a cadet receives
permission to make gu a girls hop
card, he signs her name. with his own
opposite, 10 a book provided by the hop
managers for that purpose. Then, any
other youth who wishes to dance on
that girls card knows to whom he must
apply for them.
Many are the complications arising
from this system, and it behooves him
who wishes to dance with a belle TO ap-
ply early, least he find her card full,
SAYS the illustrated american.
Often, when there are few girls visit
ing on the post. a man who has been
fortunate enough to secure one and who
wishes to dance q good deal himself will
refuse to give dances, except to such az
can give them in exchange.
A story is told of one astute youth
who wished for more than his allotted
four dances. yet feared it would look
strange for his name to appear six or
eight times. In order to overcome this
difficulty he put down the names of the
guard detail that day.
They. OF course, could not be present;
SO when the time came for their dances,
with profuse apologies he appeared be-
fore his chariner and explained that Mr..
Dumiohn was unavoidably detained
and might no oner himself insteadP
At graduation hop. however. there Is
usually such . multitude OF girls tha
many men make out more Than ont
card, and rumor hath il that once a
"spoony" youngster was nearly driven
frantic in q vain effort TO keep thirteen
cards from being tangled up. But then,
cadets will exaggerate.
There are other reasons why this hop
is an important event at West Point.
Not only does il mark the departure OF
the 1edgling lieutenants from their
hitherto well-guarded nest, but ii also
brings socially to light the erst unde-
veloped our of the plebe or lower
class.
Throughout the first year at West
Point regulations and custom do every
thing to suppress the exuberance which
freshmen at other colleges feel, and the
plebe is taught to consider himself so
small in every way as to be totally I'M
tit to shine in society till the training Of
his first year has licked him into shape
And. in the long run, this view is about
correct.
If a maiden comes to West Point with
out friends at the academy she can have
her hop card made out just the same by
sending her name to the hop managers.
They will provide partners for her and
introduce them at the proper time. And
this Is another of those anomalies to
which West Point etiquette gives rise.
The hops are held at the mess hall,
and between each dance the walks in
the vicinity are filled with cadets and
their partners. cooling OF and enjoying
the moonlight, il there be any; if not,
they enjoy the darkness equally.

Her Subscription.

At the time of a passing rebellion In
Ireland, known as Smith O'Brien's, the
region where Frances Power Cobbe
lived and worked among the poor was
transformed. as she says, into a little
Hecla; not under snow but mud. Clubs
were formed for the purpose Of buying
pixies. to he used whenever the leaders
at Dublin should call for an insurrec-
ton. The result was as harmless as
the bursting OF a bubble. but meantime
there had been real danger for all land
ed proprietors. whose DOWNFALL had
been determined upon. One incident
related by Miss Cobbe shows her inno-
cent participation in the rebellion. She
says:
I was visiting the fever patients at
Balisk and was detained in the village
late one summer evening. So many
were i'll that it took n long time to sup
