HAZING FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Yale Frsshman's Letter shows How
II Wa Done at the Ttns
Indicated.

At the present time, when so much
OF public attention is being directed
to hazing at college and in govern
ment academies, the following extract
from letter written over half a
century ago win be Of interest. The
writer was at that time freshman
Of Yale, but was not at the college
when inditing the epistle. He says:
81 had a letter from - the other
day-they are having great times at
Yale p.aguing the fresh, etc. That
business is carried on to great ex-
tent here. Many OF the poor devils
have been ducked under the windows
dozen times, eto.. etc The greatest
sport Is to break into their rooms at
midnight Ia whole party Of sophs at
a time), make the scarf fellow get up
mount the table in his shirt sleeves,
answer questions in geography, arith-
metic, Latin grammar, etc. (the sim
plest possible, so as 10 be suited TO a
freshman's prehension), read a
little Greek and then what is the great
est trial, declaim. II he refuses TO
comply he receives a shower from his
water pail until he submits. II he an
swers well he is highly complimented
and fattered and politely bid good

ARCHDUCHESS' MANY NAMES,
Dispatch Announcing . Wendfns
That sorely PunsIed .
Cable Editor.

A cable dispatch sent from Vienna
recently announced that Archduchess
Maria Raineria had been married in
great state to Duke Robert OF Wurtem-
burg, says the New York Times.
A short while afterward there was
wailing and gnashing of teeth in every
newspaper Office In New York. II Is
usual when royal parsonage marries
for a short note to be printed after
the dispatch explaining his or her re-
lationship to what are known as the
crowned heads"
AS no preliminary news Of the en-
gagement OF Archduchess maria Rain
eria" had been sent, the cable editors
consulted the Almannch de Gotha.
There are ten pages OF that famous
handbook devoted TO the royal house
OF Austria.
After considerable labor the foreign
expert In one Office disinterred the
name Of Archduchess Maria Immacu-
lata Raineria Josephine Ferdinande
Theresa Leopoldine Antoinette lIenriet-
Ia Franchise Caroline Heloise Januaria
Christina Philomene Rosalie as being
the nearest approach to that in the
cable dispatch, Then his eye fell on
the word immaculate" In brackets,
which signifies that the lady is known
TO her intimate friends and relatives
by that designation, and which would
have been used In the dispatch. lie

FAT ENGINEERS BARRED.
Only Slim Mem May Run Locomotives
on the baltimore 6 Ohio
Railway.

Firemen on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad have suddenly become great
ly interested in looking up diets for
people who wish to reduce their
flesh.
It's all on account of recent deci-
sion of the officials of the Baltimore
q Ohio that hereafter no man weigh
ing more than lS0 pounds shall be
eligible to promotion as ai engineer
on the Royal Blue linz, Ly some pc
culiar provision of nature it has come
to be fact that almost all firemen
are fat, and as all firemen hope some
day to be engineers, their present dis
tress of mind may be readily i'm
agined.
The whole trouble rests with the
crowded cab quarters of the latest
type OF engine, On its fast lines the
Baltimore & Ohio uses an immense
type of locomotive, with driving
wheels rs inches in diameter. This
seems to necessitate extending the
boiler back through the cab to the
tender. That leaves a space of only
II inches between the boiler and the
wall of the cab. Into this narrow
space the engineer has to squeeze
himself and sit through his hours oi
vigil while flying along the track al
u 60 or 75-mile-an-hour clip.
Naturally. no man who is wider
than IA inches at his widest part can
occupy the engineers seat, and hence
this latest order, The cabs cannot be
widened because they would strike
trains on the opposite track.

WEAVE WITH SHUTTLES.
Ants In Csyion That Have . oussr
Wsy Of Fastening Leaves
Together.

Mr.. +. G. Green, government ento-
mologist at the botanic gardens at
Peradenlya, Ceylon, tells a most Gu
rious story about the red ant (oeco-
phila smaragdina), says the Little
Chronicle. Desiring to CONFIRM the
reported web-spinning habits OF these
ants, he separated some leaves that
had been recently fastened together
by them. The ants quickly drew the
edges OF the leaves together and In
about an hour afterwards he noticed
that small white grubs we're being
passed backwards and forwards across
the gaps. Two ants held each a grub
In its mouth and directed it's move
ments as required, while from the
mouth Of the larva continuous
thread Of silk proceeded and was used
TO repair the damage-the larvae we're
actually used as spinning machines.
There were no larvae in the disturbed
inolosure. They were most likely OBJ
tanned from a nest a short distance
away, and this no doubt accounts for
the length Of time passed before the
rent was repaired.

We are having fine, balmy weather.
April weather could not be better for
farmers and stockmen.
We have had a recent rain that brought
plenty OF water to the miners. As | am
interested in the miners welfare | must
always speak word in their behalf, for
the bulk OF my trade comes directly from
the miners. This has been an average
year for the placer miners.
The Greenback quartz mine is working
big force OF men taking out rock
enough to keep the mill running all the
time, They will soon erect new mill
for their other quartz mines. They
have two other ledges on the extension
OF the famous Greenback tunnels.
Mr.. Mcintosh is now ready to resume
work on his quartz mine. He has a
good ledge but like many other miners
lacks the necessary equipments to work
his property.
We are ueeulHs SintlttT III tuio
vicinity, which would encourage many
more developments in mining property
The Copper Stain ledge is erecting
steam hosting works. They have
plenty of good rock We understand
that one OF the largest stock holders has
lately died but We hope that will not
conflict with the working OF the mine.
CO.. Blaisiell, of McNair Flat is build

placer ground which is extensive and

our last writing. The short line is about
completed and next week the rails will
be laid to Kinneyville.

a slight touch OF the gout but at last

In Memory.

~
Written in memory of little Rub,
'arley who died at Kerby on Feb. l.
90l.)
Another little lamb has gone,
To dwell with him who gave;
Another little darling babe,
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child,
Amidst his shining band,
And 50 he bent with loving care,
And clasped little Ruby's hand.
Precious darling thou has left us,
Left us, now for ever more,
Until once again we meet thee,
On that bright golden shore.
Lonely the home and sad the hours
Since "Our Ruby" dear has flown,
But oh a brighter home than ours
In heaven is now they own.
The little chair is empty now,
The little clothes laid by.
A mothers hope, fathers joy,
In deaths cold arms doth lie
Go little pilgrim, to thy home
On yon bright heavenly shore,
We miss thee now, but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.
A FRIEND.

AN AWFUL QUESTION.
what Would Ensus II We Knew
when the world Would
Come 10 an Kndf

What would be the commercial ef-
feet OF the certain knowledge that the
world was coming to an end In 50
years2 Well, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer, the first effect would be rather
social and moral than commercial.
though, Of course, IL would renct very
strongly on the business world. Those
who in the ordinary course OF affairs
would be dead before so years had
passed would be the least affected, and
younger people would probably become
as resigned To universal death as they
are now TO the equally certain individ-
uM death. Therefore, at first there
would be but little change. People
would have to live and therefore they
would have TO work, while capitalists
would have TO keep their money In
vested. but ns the last yenr OF tho
world came nearer enterprise and in
dustry would naturally slacksn. IL
would be no use for parents TO work
for their children. or even for children
to be educated for the life they would
never live, and 80 the industrial fabric
would gradually crumble away Ms men
censed to provide for a dny that would
never come. Commercial activity
would probably give place 10 religious
fr-nsy on the one hand nrd apathy
or hourai-ss license on the other. I'm
der these circumstances tie Inst few
years OF the worlds hfe would be np-
palling beyond description.
