never been much OF It INDUCED in out
side of the colleges of the East 1t has
been practiced to limited extent In the
universities of the West, but 1t never
found a strong foothold in the Missls-
sippi valley nor in the States beyond.
Origin 10 Hazy.
College hazing is so old custom that
its origin is somewhat hazy. One
theory is that 1t was at least partial
outgrowth of the tagging system Of
English colleges. in which 1t was the
custom to make new students do me-
NAL work for the upper classmen. The
hazing which has been INDUCED in has
largely been practiced upon freshmen,
but occasionally other classmen have
been hazed. To haze means to disturb,
harass, annoy, and it was in some way
figured out that this was just what
ought to be done to men entering col
lege for the first time. 1t was decided
that they should be servile and that
they should do whatever they were told
by upper classmen, no matter how
absurd or degrading an act should be
demanded of them. AS early as the
year 1760, sixteen years before the
breaking out of the Revolutionary War,
the following regulations were enacted
at Yale University:
ut being the duty of seniors to teach
freshmen the laws. usages and cas-
toms of the college, to this end they
are empowered to order the whole
freshman class or any particular mem
Der of it to appear, in order to be in
structed and reproved, at such time
and place as they shall appoint when
and where every freshman shall attend,
answer all proper questions and behave
decently.
"'The freshmen are forbidden to wear
their hats in the college yard until the
May vacation. and whenever a fresh
man either speaks to a superior or is
spoken to by one he shall keep his hat
off until he is hidden to put it back on.
"a freshman shall not play with any
of the members of an upper class with
out being asked.
Freshmen are required to perform

their hair completely. There have been
many instances of the most vicious
kinds of practices. Young men have
been thrown into rivers or lakes, head
ed up in barrels and rolled down hill.
etc. Occasionally freshmen have re-
sisted the preparation of these out
RACES. Revolvers have been drawn by
both sides, but when the freshman who
was thus inclined to defend himself has
been caught unarmed he has often been
made to pay dearly for his self-defense.
With the progress of education and
civilization these practices have be-
come less common in many of the large
universities, but that they still exist to
some extent and in their worst form
is evident from the developments in the
West Point case. This fact led an old
college man to remark the other day:
"The time has come when the brutal
college hazer should be treated in ex-
actly the same way as any other Grim
inal. No effort should be spared either
by the college or civil authorities to
catch the culprits and when appre-
hended they should be given the full
penalties allowed by the law. If a few
of the young wretches, who are nothing
but brutes in human form, were sent to
the penitentiary as they should be for
five or ten years it would have a most
salutary effect upon college hazing."

Investigations concerning hazing, have
voluntarily signed a pledge to abandon
entirely that practice which has
brought the institution so much dis
credit. The cadets have done well. The
military academy belongs to the people
and not TO the cadets. The cadets are
not even patrons Of the academy. The
people are the patrons Students at
tending other institutions where they
pay tuition may be said to be patrons
Of those Institutions. The cadets at
West Point pay no tuition. The people
pay for their education and pay the
cadets a salary besides. Therefore the
people have a right to dictate how the
academy shall be run as the managers
of no other institution have n right to
dictate. When the people learned how
their academy was being conducted the
cadets knew there would be a change.
The latter have wisely determind in adj
vance that they will reform. The peo-
pie will expect the pledge to be kept.

ment OF the military board. which at
once began taking evidence. The case
was not more than fairly started when
a second incident was brought to light
through the statements of other par
ents, who alleged that they had lost
son whose death was directly traceable
to hazing which he had received at
West Point. These two cases prove
quite conclusively, If any proof were
needed. that the infamous practice OF
hazing is far from extinct. at least In
some parts OF the country. Hazing is
distinctly a product Of eastern college

On r. d. Armour's tombstone might
well be Inscribed: THE young man
who wants to marry happily should
pick out a good mother and marry one
of her daughters-any one will do"
For +. ID. Armour never said a wiser
thing, and no man ever paid a finer
tribute to the mothers of this country.
1t is easy 10 imagine the woman Ar
mour had In mind. She is type Of
the times. She Is not too modern, and
there is nothing ancient about her Her
social qualities are unquestlOned, and
yet she does not live for society. She
reads and dresses and worships as her
conscience and inclination direct. In
the home Is found her kingdom. BY
her example she teaches herdaughters
how to become good wives. The things
that she teaches are less than the
things that her girls actually learn
from her. Association as well as in
clinatlon draw the daughters into the
channels that lead to domestic happi-
ness. Her example is stamped on their
young lives. she is the queen of a
hame to which the mind of the husband
and parent is ever turning. Peace
abides there, and the household ma
chinery does not jar. That is the wom-
an p. ID. Armour was thinking of, and
what she is it is possible for her daugh-
ters to become. The young man who
studies the mother of the woman he
wishes to marry is wise.

The Largest Incnhntnr

New South Wales has not only the
largest duck farm in the common
wealth, but also probably the largest
incubator in the world. The farm and
incubator are situated at Botany. near
Sydney, the latter, according to a svd-
ney paper, having a capacity of II 44O
duck eggs, or 14,OS0 hen eggs. 1t is not
necessary that it should be filed at any
one time. The eggs can be put in Mt
intervals, as they are available. with
fifty eggs only it will works just as well
as If it were filled. The incubator was
designed and constructed by its pro-
pretor, with the aid of an ingenious
local mechanic.

No reform would ever have been ac-
complished If the element of self-inter-
est had been wholly eliminated. Ev-
cry advance in the direction of popular
government has been due to the dis
satisfaction of men with existing con
dltions and their determination to get
more out of life than had been allotted
them under monarchicals institutions.
So, also, with the trusts. When the
people of the United States feel that
they have the closing end of the trans
action" they will, purely as a matter Of
self-interest apply the remedy which
they may conceive to be most effective.

that he will have to serve. The pun
ishment is not severe enough to re-
strain other men from committing sim
