Pearl oys..rs Do Enrr.v,nx.

People very often marvel at the
cheapness Of the engraved or etched
pearl shells which come from China.
They sell for little or nothing, and
the uninitiated will be apt to wonder
how 1t ID the work can be done 80
cheaply. The reason for it is, instead
Of craving the picture into the hard
shell, an operation that would be- la
borious and slow, the Chinese draw the
sketch On a little scrap Of tea lead and
insert it into a pearl oyster shell when
1t is tender. The inside Of the she'll in
this manner gets an impression Of the
sketch from the tea lead picture, and
as soon as it is sufficiently we'll printed
the Chinese take the lead out and in
sert it in another she'll Cincinnati

OF COLLEGE HAZING.

a seniors room, mol in his own If a
senior be there.
when any person knocks at a
freshman's door, except in studying
time, he shall Immediately open the
door without inquiring who is there"
Fighting Freshman Sustained.
The death blow to the hat law and
most Of the other absurd regulations
was struck of one hundred years ago,
when Levi Hedge, who was afterwards
a famous professor, threatened to
knock down a senior who demanded
that he remove his hat. The trouble
was brought before the president of
Harvard for adjudication' and he de-
cided in favor of Freshman Hedge.
Although these regulations we're ear
ly o%verthrown the spirit underlying
them was kept alive and frequently
manifested itself in the ~mistreatment
Of members OF the freshmen class. The
new college men were smoked out"
taken from bed at midnight and doused
under the town pump, painted with
green Or red paint, made to eat or
drink vile combinations, blindfolded
and made to run three or four miles,
made to sing or dance or deliver ora
lions, while very often they were shorn
of their hair completely. There have
been many instances of the most vi
cious kinds Of practices. Young men
have been thrown into rivers or lakes,
headed up in barrels and rolled down
hill, etc. Occasionally freshmen have
resisted the preparation Of these out
RACES. Revolvers have been drawn by
both sides, and when the freshman
who was thus inclined to defend him
self has been caught unarmed he has
often been made to pay dearly for his
self-delense.
With the progress Of education and
civilization these practices have be-
come less commo in many of the large
universities, but they still exist to some
extent and in their worst form is evil

A SPEECH.
EuioEy Of tho Weed Applauded in (

Eulosy Of tho Weed Applauded in til.
It is not often that the Congressional.
Record contains such a unique contri.
button to literature as the speech
which Representative Otey Of Virginia
delivered in the house on tobacco. Mr..
'Otey represents the Lynchberg district.
In the tobacco growing section of his
state, and his eulogy Of the weed ought
to keep him in congress for the re-
mainder of his days. He is the espe-
cial advocate of a bill to allow a larger
ration OF tobacco to the soldiers in the
army, and 1t was in advocacy of this
measure that he delivered his speech.
1T is a fact" asserted Mr.. Otey, that
there is no solace in camp life or on
s%hipboard like the pipe and nothing
slaves off hunger and thirst like the
chew Of tobacco" All the smokers and
chewers in the house applauded this
assertion, and then Mr.. Otey went back
to ancient history. He showed how,
from its earliest discovery, tobacco has
been considered a curative. He quoted
an old practitioner Of "physicke" who
commended tobacco in 1910, and re-
called the words of Hariot, who was
one of Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition
in 1884, and who said that tobacco was
a notable preserver Of health. He quot
ed some lines in praise of tobacco from
Sponsors "Faerie Queene," and was
especially applauded when he cited the
case of a man who could not breathe
and whose physician directed him to
take tobacco in fume and little by lit
tie he recovered his former strength
There was rapt attention in the house
as Mr.. Otey recited the chemical analy-
sis of tobacco, with humorous COM
ments on chloride of potassium, molie
acid, silica, and ligneous matter. The
%peroration Of the eulogy on tobacco is
worth quoting: "His patriotism
said Major Otey, referring to the SOL
der, expires only with his life; his
soul is enraptured with enthusiasm,
his memory is on the wing, and runs
back with lightning quickness to the
battles fought and victories won; but
he will recall that the ration of to-
bacco plucked from his mind a rooted
sorrow, RACED out the written troubles
of his brain, and with this sweet OBJ
livious antidote cleansed the bosom of
perilous stuff that weighed upon his
eart-"-Washington Post.

M. DISQUALIFICATION Of Cation.

The Hybridlsation Of Cotton.
Herbert J. Weber Of the United
States department of Agriculture, has
been in South Carolina, making ex-
periments in the hybridization Of cot
ton. He also tested varieties Of Egyp-
tian cotton. The cotton growers at
Charleston, Mr.. Weber says. cannot
compete with the Egyptian cotton, but
IL the experiments Of the Department
Of. Agriculture prove successful the
farmers will be able to raise q hybrid
cotton which will equal the Egyptian
product. The department is Of the
opinion that this new variety can bs
grown in all parts Of the state. A
peculiar thing about the naturalization
is that It develops increased vigor. The
hybrid plant gives q boil with more
cotton in 1t and a boil that can b.
picked with more ease.

English colleges, in which it 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
ege for the first time. It 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 1850, sixteen years before the
breaking out Of the revolutionary war,
the following regulations were enacted
at Yale university:
1T being the duty of seniors to teach
freshmen the laws, usages and customs
OF the college, to this end they are en-
powered to order the whole freshman
class or any particular member of it to
appear, in order to be. instructed and
%reproved, at such time and place as
they shall appoint, when and where
every freshman shall attend, answer
all proper questions and behave de-
Gently.
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
of until he is hidden to put it back o
"a freshman shall not play with any
Of the members of an upper class with
out being asked.
Freshmen are required to perform
oil reasonable errands for any p
rior.
Freshmen shall not run in the COL
1ege yard nor up and down stairs, nor
call to any one through a college win

CHEAP A RIDES.

Street Car Lin That Carries Passenger
for Nothing in Congo.
Bona is the capital of the Congo
Free State. It is fifty miles from the
mouth of the river. Fifteen years ago
Bona was nothing but g rocky hill at
the base of which stretched a great
marsh, the prolific source Of tropical
fevers. A great change has been
wrought in the appearance and condi-
lions Of Bona. A number of long
streets have been built over the hill.
This height has been dug down and
leveled so that it is no longer difficult
to reach it from the bank of the river.
The marshes have been drained, beau
tiful little parks now flourish, and the
Bona of today is a smiling. fourishing
town. Piers extend out into the river
and vessels from Europe tie up at these
iron structures and discharge their
cargoes directly into the little cars that
are pulled by small steam engines
along the main street of Bona. The
popularity Of this steam tramway is
that it makes no charge to any one who
desires to ride on 1t. The entire popu-
lace of Bona may travel between the
town and the river without paying a
cent. Passenger trains, however, run
only four times a day. The man on
the street corner who desires to hail q
train must sometimes find it a rather
long time to wait. Though the pas
senger service is SO infrequent the
trains are running about all the time,
for Bona is a very busy place, and
Royal avenue, through which the
tramway runs, is lined with stores.
The cars carry goods from the steam
ers to the shops of Royal avenue, OF
palm oil and other native products
down to the wharves. At times, how
ever, when several days have elapsed
after the arrival Of a steamer, there
may be no freightage business, but the
tramway is as busy as ever, for then
big loads Of dirt r hauled from one
part Of Royal avenue to another in the
still uncompleted work Of leveling the
town.-New York Sun.
