Messrs. Editors:
In one of your headlines announc-
ing thht the midshipmen had come 10
the determination to abolish hazing at
the Naval Academy. it is stated that
the system had been in vogue at the
school for seventy years. This is a
historic error
There was no hazing in the United
States Naval Academy before the Civil
War. There are living graduates of
the Academy who have told me that
this was the case. Some are still in
this city who can verify this state
ment When Commodore r. l.. Pyth-
ian, L. S. n. who was superintendent
of the Naval Academy from June 10.
1890, TO November Is. 1894. made his
one speech during his administration
10 the midshipmen while a contagibn of
hazing was in progress. he told them
that they were not keeping up the ira
ditions of the Naval Academy in haz-
ing. but were violating its earliest ones
The author of this has ina his possess
sion a letter written TO him by the late
Rear Admiral A T. Mahan. L. S. n.
which states that the Admiral, when
he came to Annapolis and entered the
Academy. as a midshipman, he. hav-
ing been raised in the atmosphere of
West Point. where hazing prevailed
was astonished to find that there was
none in the Naval Academy.
When in his halcyon period of the
Naval Academy life, to which il has
happily and historically returned by
the late splendid action of the three
upper classes of the institution. a mid
shipman from any State entered the
school he was sought out by some
older midshipman from his common
wealth who took him to his fellow"old
steers and said: 81 am responsible
for him" The youngsters. "as the
new midshipmen were called. looked
up to the "oldsteFs" as all others save
the new latest arrivals were named,
as "elder brothers" If Youngster be-
came an idler,an "Oldster" would go to
him and say: Come, study up: make
a man of yourself"
When the Civil War began, the Naval
Academy was removed to Newport, r.
land the first and second classes were
sent to sea. This left only the third
class, which was not yet indoctrinated
into the magnificent usages of the in
stitution, and. more the school was
within touch with West Point, where
this fallacious system prevailed and
was environed by the Eastern colleges
noted for these unnatural practices
and many of the third class were prob
ably from them, and all this. with the
saving salt of Southern midshipmen
left out of the drama Then the third
classmen began to plague the fourth
classmen with horse-plays at the eX-
pense entirely of the naval neophytes.
From this beginning, the custom de-
veloped until the Academy returned
to Annapolis in 1866. Hazing was then
in full vogue with the Academy au-
thorities, in full cry. at the heels of
the haZers.
For the first time III the air of An
napolis was the word "plebe" heard,
when an indignant upper classman.
speaking of the authorities. declared:
''They won't let you look at Plebe."

A well known Liverpool solicitor was questioning police officer recent iy as to the condition of horse. Do you really mean to say pressed the advocate ir his best cross-examining style. "that the animal had shore solders-I mean to say sore soldiers I mean" Still there was some thing wroRg, and the solicitor paused A moment to regain nis orator1cal bal ance, while the witness wondered du' biously whether it was conundrum or a trap. Steadying himself for third attempt, and deliberating over every syllable, the advocate asked whether the horse really had sore shoulders, and then expanded into smile of triumph. When the familiar tongue-twister about Peter and his peppercorn becomes stale, suggests the Liverpool Post, here is another one: Say sore shoulders dozen tmes rapidly without mistake.

CLEAN UP AND KILL THE
 MOSQUITOES.

Cleanup time s here, and so is mosquito time. Gird on your swattIng arnor and go forth. One moment however. before you go-'the female is more deadly than the male.
 Among mosquitoes the mem bers Of the fair sex are fierce bIoodsuckers that in iect an ir- rltattng poison into our skins. and they may accompany the dose of toxin with d few fever germs. The males iead com paraEWeiy tame existence, sub sistng on the juices of plants and fruits.' So says a member Of the University of Wisconsin biology department,
 "The speckIe winged anopheles, the naiariaI mosquito" he con- tInues, "hibernates during the winter in our attics, cellars and closets. The presence of many lakes, swamps and ponds often makes mosquitoes an intolerabe pest.
 "The female mosquito qorees herself with blood in order that the eggs may have abundant nourishment. She deposits her little egg raft on the surface of quiet water during the night, and it floats there until the larvae hatch, The larvae are the wig glers' or 'WIggletaIs' which are seen in ponds and rainwater barrels the world over. Though mosquito larvae always develop n water, they must breathe air and frequently come to the sur face. After few days the iarva sheds it's skin and becomes Q big headed pupa, which rests at the surface until it splits up the back to allow the adult mos quito to emerge.
 "The best way to get rid of mosquitoes is to destroy their breeding places. This not only means draining swamps and fill ing in ponds, but gathering up tomato cans, putting netting over horse troughs and rain water barrels and watching the cave troughs. # it is impossi- ble to get rid of standing water near your premises, oil placed on ponds will kill the larvae. kero- sene or any light fuel oil will serve for this purpose. About one ounce of oil will cover fif- teen square feet"
