1t is sensible decision the cadets

abandon hazing. II is a foolish GUS

worthy of the academy. For hazing,
If you think of it, violates the obliga.
tions of hospitality toward strangers
and the duty of the stronger to pro.
tect the weak, observes the Philadel-
phia Timeo. 1t is not quite gentle
manlike, and that ought to be enough
to condemn it. The decision to give
up hazing appears not to have been
entirely voluntary. The superintend.
ent has been punishing offenders so
remorselessly that he has made good
behavior compulsory, and after
number of cadets had been summarily
dismissed the rest concluded that haz.
ing did not pay. This shows that the
suppressi n Of hazing was not. after
all. impossible.

A very few exceptions to the rule
that animals live with their backs to-
wards the sky and away from the
earth, are found by French scien-

beetle, whose winged existence is
mosly spent near roses and other flow
ers, is the best example This grub
is fat worm that does much damage
to plant roots in gardens. 1t has
three pairs of legs, seemingly designed
for use, yet it creeps about gro
tesquely on its back, pushing itself
forward six inches to foot minute
by contractile movements of its seq
ments, aided by brush of hairs. The
aquatic world has its water -boatmen,
or Notonecte, that always swim back
downward. Among mammals are the
sloths and other Edentates that spoud
most of their lives upside down, sus-

A striking use of the X-rays is to
be made in the case of two sisters who
are joined together in the same man
ner as the celebrated Siamese twins.
These girls were recently discovered
in Brazil, and have reached the age of
ten years. The examination with the
X-rays is to be made with view to
determining whether the bond joining
the two bodies can be severed by a
surgical operation. If the bodies are
Independent, surgical treatment would
be iustifiable and possibly successful,
but if there is an actual connection
between the two organisms such a
step, is of course, out of the question.

EIGHTKEYs FOR CHRISTMAS
why n BrsSlxlyn Man azd wife RE-
Oeived Them from Their Next
Deer Netwhbers.

A Brooklyn man and wife have had
two peculiar experiences which have
caused them to be talked about in their
neighborhood. A few months ago they
went out for the evening and forgot to
take a nigMkey.- The servant was out
the same night. When the man and his
wife returned and failed to get re-
sponse to their ring, the husband
smashed one of the windows and
crawled in. In this way he opened the
door and admitted his wife, says the
New York Sun.
One experience of this character is
sufficient TO make an impression, but it
left no warning on the mind of this
rAan. Not long after the incident he and
his wife again went out and forgot a
night key. Failing to get in on their
return the man sent bis wife to a neigh
boris while he went over to hotel near
by to borrow jimmy, as he had decid-
I'd TO get in with that and save the ex-
pense of a window glass. Armed with
the implement he returned, and after
considerable effort lie forced the door,
walked upstairs and found his neigh
bors and his wife enjoying themselves.
He had forced the doors of his neigh
bors' house, adjoining his own and
enthusiastically a counterpart of it.
Then his wife made the discovery that
she had the key of her house.
Among the Christmas offerings re-
ceived by the man and wife was
bunch of night keys.

A GRAVEYARD PROMOTER.
An EnterprisinE MissourIan who Has

"You eastern people are not the only
enterprising inhabitants OF the globe"
said an enthusiastic man in New York
business house, according to the Sun

In Pemiscot county, my state, Missouri,
who is a sort Of plutocrat in graveyards
Some years ago he opened tombstone
factory in his part, of the state, and as
he marked down the price, be had quite
a boom in his business. In short time
there was a monument or headstone
at every grave in the cemetery, and as
live people do not buy tombstones, this
mans business was hit by what your
Wall street folks call furry. What
does he do but go to another town not
far away and buy a. graveyard of his
own, and put down the price of lots.
This caused quite a cemetery boom un-
til all the lots were disposed of. AS
soon as some Of the people began to die
the enterprising tombstone dealer was
again in the whirl, or, as my old friend
Wilbur f. Storey was won't to say of his
paper, on the top crest of the advanc-
ing wave. In year or so he had every
grave in the cemetery marked with his
goods, and another thud hit his busi-
ness. But he rallied. went to another
town. invested in another graveyard
site, and manipulated this scheme as he
had the others. and with like results.
That makes three cemeteries he has
started, filed and marked, and the last
time saw him he told me he was look
ing for another. He is now known as q
graveyard promoter"
