Canvas Tents.

San Francisco, April 24.-Following
the rain, which greatly intensified the
misery and suffering of the homeless
people of this stricken city, the past
night was one of comparative comfort
and Of greatly improved conditions.
The night was clear, warm and balmy
and there was less suffering among
tbs thousands Of refugees camping un.
der the blue canopy than at any time
since the day of the disaster. The
condition Of the people Is constantly
growing better. The relief work il be-
ing organized with every day and the
distribution Of provisions and the pro-
viding OF shelter 10 daily becoming
more systematic and methodical.
Wagonloads of quilts, comforters
and blankets were distributed among
those who have suffered intensely from
the cold and exposure while sleeping
In the open. Other wagons loaded
with tent1 wended their way through
the crowded parks end replaced many
improvised shelters. which afforded
little or no protection against the rain
and chilly winds, with waterproof can
vas tents Az a result there we're but
few complaints Of suffering.
While the heavy rain for the time
being added much to the misery Of
the homeless II did much towards i'm

throughout the city.

called upon the ssntEiss and guards to

that there was no danger and that at
any other time the shook would have
caused little comment
The general conditions In the city
are improving rapidly. The weather
was never better and the indications
for its continuation are good. Hun

Water company has about 1000 men
at work repairing and replacing broken

Strange Ways Of Saying Goodby

Strange Ways Of Saying Goodby.

The Turk will solemnly cross his
hands upon his breast and make a
profound obeisance when he bids YOU
farewell :.
The genial Jap will take his slip
per off as you depart and say with a
smile: you are going to leave my de-
spicable house in your honorable jour-
neying-I regard thee!''.
In the Philippines the departing
bencdiction is bestowed in the form
Of rubbing ones friends face with
ones hand:
The German ."Lede wohl" is not
particularly sympathetic in it's sound
but it is less embarrassing than the
Hindoo's performance, who, when you
90 from him, falls III the dust Mt your
feet. -. - 3:
The Fiji Islanders cross two red
feathers. The natives of New Guinea
exchange chocolate. The Burmese
bend low and say "Hib! Hib!"
The "Auf Wiederschen of the
Austrian is the most feeling. ex-
preston of farewell.
The Cuban would consider his good
bye anything but a cordial one unless
he was given good cigar. The South
Sea Islanders rattle each others
whale teeth necklace. :.
The Sioux and the Blackfoot will
at parting dig their spears in the
earth as sign of confidence AMI mu-
tual esteem. This is the origin of the
term "burying the tomahawk.'
In the islands in the Straits of the
Sound the natives at your going will
stoop down and clasp your feet.
The Russian form of parting salu-
tation is brief, consisting Of the sim
pie word "Praschai," said to sound
like a sncezc. The Otaheite Islander
will twist the end Of the departing
guest s robe, and then solemnly shake
his own hands, three times.

FORMS OF HAzING DESCRIBED
Sitting on 1nfinity,'' Sunrise OH
the Farm

Washington, March Ia" Sitting
on infinity.' sunrise on the farm
and other forms 'of hazing practiced
by the cadets at Annapolis are de-
scribed in the report Of the sub-com-
mittee of the committee on naval af-
fairs, made to the whole committee
through Representative Vreeland, of
New York, chairman Of the invcsti-
eating committee.
Rear Admiral Brownson is CEN
slred in the report for exacting from
midshipmen not to engage in hazing
the boys to think the pledge was per-
sonal to him and did not hold after
Rear Admiral Sands became super
intendent al Annapolis. Lieutenant
c. p. Snyder is also censured mildly
for having 'countenanced hazing.
Graduated punishment for hazing
is recommended by the sub-commit-
tee, which is firmly Of the opinion that
the present system of expelling all
midshipmen found guilty of hazing is
vicious. Rear Admiral Sands and
other officers now at the academy are
praised for the discipline they are
maintaining, and the report shows
that cadet officers have been chiefly
responsible for hazing.
1t was found that 321 members Of
the upper classes have been guilty Of
hazing, and Oh trial could be expelled.
The result would be great and un-
necessary loss to tho government, in
the opinion of the committee.
The investigation showed there arc
three forms Of hazing at Annapolis.
physical hazing, running and tagging.
The physical hazing consists Of fight
ing, compelling midshipmen to stand
on their heads and other much dis
c,,ssed means of punishment
Tagging is the forcing of under
class men to do menial service for
upper class men, such as blacking
ihocs and serving meals.
Running is the forcing of under
class men to do ridiculous fents. One
of the most popular performances un-
der this classification was giving an
exact imitation Of "sunrise on the
farm,' which consisted of initiating
roosters and other domestic fowls.
Under the forms Of physical hazing
"sitting on mtinity" was one Of the
most commonly praeticed at mealtime,
and was the forcing of a midshipman
to maintain a sitting posture after his
chair'was withdrawn from under him.
