PASSING OF THE yIu-JIrsU FAD,

Midshipmen in the naval academy at
Annapolis will no longer be instructed
in the art OF jiu-jitsu, the authorities
having decided that the method holds
no advantage over the old forms of
wrestling and other athletic exercises
long In vogue at the academy, except
in Offering teachings in ways of per-
manently disabling ones opponent, an
accomplishment not desirable by Amer
leans in their contests of skill or
strength. BY this decision the Japa-
nese instructor in jiu-jitsu at Annapolis
has been informed that congress has
failed to make any appropriation for
his services for another year and that
he is at liberty to return at once to the
land of cherry blossoms, II he has
saved the price.
The jiu-jitsu fad has at least served
to illustrate anew the truth of the
statement of the lamented Phineas T.
Barnum that the American people love
to be humbugged. During the Russ
Jap war tales were waited to us of the
practice of jiu-jitsu by the Japanese in
times of personal encounter. These
stories told in detail OF the manner in
which a Jap OF four feet six would take
Russian of six feet four and, by the
practice of the magic art of jiu-jitsu.
make a monkey of him." always es-
Gaping personal hurt and smilingly
awaiting the next conner. Americans
became convinced that II gunpowder
had never been invented the Japs
would have had no difficulty in invad-
ing Russia and breaking one or two
arms of every man In the cars empire,
without the loss of a jiu-jitsu expert.
The advertising had its effect and, with
the close OF the war, every village in
America had japanese expert, either
real or imitation, teaching the art OF
jiu-jitsu, at prices which would have
soon wiped out Japan's war debt had
the performance been up to the prom
Uses of the press agent. Even the gov
eminent took the bait and one of the
most expert of the jiu-jitsu operators
was installed at the naval academy to
make bone-breaking a part in the
course of training OF our future ad-
mirals.
But jia=iitsu has finally broken ia

1t will be recalled that when the In
surance legislation demanded in conse-
quence of the investigations made un-
der direction of Governor Hughes
was pending, representatives of insur-
ance companies likely to be affected
were lugubrious in forecasting the ter
rible obstacles that would be put in
their way by the enactment of these
laws. The exhibits of last years bust
ness of the big New York life insurance
companies, now being given to the
public, do not in the least bear out
these forebodings. The annual state
ment of the New York Life Insurance
company, printed in The Bee last week,
for example, is boosted the best show
ing of business and earnings for the
policy holders ever made by that COM
pany and the same is true of the Equi-
table and in lesser degree of the others
with one or two exceptions. The en-
forcement of the new insurance regu-
lations seems therefore to have
strengthened rather than weakened
the New York life companies and
while some of the official sinecure men
may have lost fat perquisites the pol
icyholders have not been sufferers.
1t is quite conceivable that the very
insurance men who opposed and depre-
Gated all restrictive legislation would
now admit that their fears were alb
solutely groundless.

The Act OF restitution.
Springfield Republican.

Dr. Washington GLADDEN. Of Columbus,
O., thinks It would have been much after
for John d. Rockefeller TO have withheld
his recent ts2 100000 gift to education until
after some OF the indictments lying against
him have been tried out in the courts.
Then perhaps the gift would appear more
clearly In the character Of restitution
and less clearly in that OF a benefaction.
But Mr.. Rockefeller does not need TO be
convicted OF having violated law in ac-
curing his money 70 spread the impress
sion that his gifts should be regarded as
acts of restitution. That Is already this
quiet view OF most reading people.

at Annapolis, has reported that the

ordered the discontinuance of jiu-jitsu

gripping tactics. So the jiu-jitsu fad

PENSIONS FOR COLLEGE PROFESSORS
The first annual report of the trus-
tees of the Carnegie Foundation, es-
tablished for the purpose of providing
a pension for college professors who
have reached the age of SIS years and
have served not less than fifteen years
in a higher institution of learning,
contains much valuable data. covering
the field for their operations. While
this fund has been available but little
more than year. the report shows
that much good has already been &C
complished in bestowing relief in
worthy cases and outlining plan for
future extension.
This retirement fund for teachers is
provided for In a donation by Mr.. Car
negie of $10,00O,OO0 in 5 per cent
bonds, yielding an annual income of
100000. Under its terms the in
come may be devoted to the retire
ment or relief of superannuated pro-
fessors in higher educational institu-
lions, without regard to race, creed,
sex or color. not controlled by any
specified sect nor imposing any theo-
logical test. In the first year, ending
October 10, 1905, the trustees had
admitted fifty American and two
Canadian colleges to the accepted list
and had awarded to professors, indi-
vidual teachers and widows of teach
ers pensions amounting to $122,130
annually, or about one-fourth the sum
provided by Mr.. Carnegie's benefac-
ton. Statistics show 6,207 professors
in the 327 colleges of America who
receive total annual salaries of
1851, $50, or an average of $3.50 a
year. The retiring allowance which
the Carnegie Foundation now pays
amounts to a little less than $1,450.
At this rate the income of the fund
would carry $50 professors on the re-
tired list at the present pay, while
IL per cent of the professors In the
colleges accepted as eligible to par
ticipation in the fund benefits are ELI
gible to retirement. Should they take
advantage Of the opportunity a list
would be created which would wholly
absorb the present income from the
fund.
The report contains a highly inter-
esting table showing how literally the
officers Of the army are treated when
they are placed on the retired list. as
compared with the pensions proposed
or possible for college professors.
Since 1890 an average of about 81 per
cent OF army officers have been on the
retired list. In 1904, the latest data
available, there were $3.50 officers on
the active list. with a total pay of
! s4,S46, 900, and SIT officers on the re-
tired list with a total pay Of $2,2S5,-
900. The government gives the re-
/ $2,605 annually, as compared with
$1,45O possible for the retired profes-
sor under the distribution of the Car
negie fund. The trustees of the fund
hope. by readjustment Of the allow
ances and by other plans in contempla-
ton TO make possible a system of re-
firing allowances for something over
5000 professors and individual In
structors.
The retiring allowance. or pension
system, has been adopted by a number
OF institutions and corporations, in
GLIDING railroads and commercial
houses. and has become quite common
In municipalities with reference to
hremen and policemen. The result OF
the operation OF the Carnegie fund
may reasonably be expected to eneour-
age the movement for the pensioning

PURE FOOD PROVISIONS.

Under the rulings of the state food
and dairy commissioners all ice cream
to be called such must contain to
start wilh at least Is per cent of but
ter fat, as by law cream is defined as
containing at least that amount.
A similar product made from milk
and other healthful ingredients may
be properly sold under name not
deceptive as to its character, but can
not be properly sold as an ice cream.
The department will not interfere with
the sale of ice cream and similar pro
ducts containing not more than o1e
per cent Ga gelatine.
Such terms as "yanina STRAW
berry, ETC., prefixed to the words ice
cream" are held to represent the fla
vors rather than the ingredients. No
labels are eeessary on pure goods and
On the other hand no labels can legal
ize the sale of an article containing
deleterious ingredients. The names
under which the articles are sold must
be truthful and such as will not mis-
represent the character of the article
or the ingredients of which it is com
posed. ....
Whiskey is by these rulings divided
into four classes; absolutely pure
whiskey, pleaded wniskey. compound
ed whiskey and imitation whiskey.
Whi5key that is absolutely pure ant
true to name needs no label. This il
whiskey as it is put out by the dis
tiller, aged in wood, and is 100 pei
cent pure.
Blended whiskey is where two OF
three kinds of pure whiskey have beer
mixed. This must be marked blende,
whiskey.
When the liquor contains so pei
cent or more of whiskey filed out witt
other spirits this is called COMPOUND
whiskey and must bear label snow
ing the percentage of the ingredients
When less than so per cent of wills
key or none at all is used it must b.
called imitation whiskey aad mus
bear a label showing the name of eacI
ingredient composing tne liquor.
