FORMS OF HAZING DESORIBED
"Sitting on Infinity," "Sunrise on
the .Farm."
Washington, March 14.-'"Sitting
)n infinity,'' "IsunriF in. the farm"
ind other forms 'of hazing practiced
by the cadets at' Annapolis are de
icribed in the report of the sub-com
rnittee of the committee on naval af
Cairs, niade to the whole c6minittee
through Representative Vreeland, of
1ew Yoi'A, chairman of the investi
ating committee.
Rear Admiral Brownson is cen
mired in the report for exacting froi
nidshipmen not to engage in hazing
the boys to think the pledge was per
oial to him and did not hold after
Rear Admiral Sands became super
intendent at Annapolis. .Lieutenant
1". P. Snyder is also censured mildly
for having leountenanced hazing.
Graduated punishment for . hazing
s recommended by the sub-commit
ee, which is firmly of the opinion that
the present system of expelling all
nidshipmen found guilty of hazing is
vicious. Rear Admiral Sands And
>ther officers now at the academy are
.raised for the discipline they .are
maintaining, and the report shows
hat cadet officers have been chiefly
responsible for hazing.
It was found that 321 members of
he upper classes have been guilty of
inzing, and on trial could' be expelled.
ne result would be a great and un
ieessary loss to the government, in
he opinion of the committee.
The investigation showed there are
iree forms of hazing at Annapolis
)hysical hazing, runing and fagging.
I'he physical hazing consists of fight
ng, compelling midshipmen to stand
in their heads and other much- die
msed means of punishment.
F'agging is the forcing of under
slass men to do menial service for
apper~ class men, such as blacking
shoes' and serving meals.
Hunning is - tihe forcing of under
slass nen to do ridiculous teats. One
if the most p)opular performances un
'her this classification was giving an
axac(t. imitation of "'sunrise on the
'arm,'' which consisted of imitating
*oost ers and other domestic fowls.
Und(er* the formis of phIysical hazing
'sjit ting on inftinityV' ' was one0 of the
nost commonly priac'ticed .at mealtime,
mdwas the forcing of a midshipman
.o maintain a sitting posture after his
hair. was withdrawn from under him.
Acquiring Knowledge..
"Papa, what 'is an old saw-not
.he saw you saw with, but t he kind
his paper speaks about?"
"What old saw does the paper
apeak about ?'
''That 's what I want to know. It
lays, 'Everybody has heard the old
4aw, ''Never look a gift horse in the
mout."' ' I want. to know where the
saw comes in.,"
''Well, there's -your 01(d saw. An
old sawv is an old proverb."
''Why shouldn 't you look a gift
horse in the mouth?'
"Because-because it's in bad taste.
It's ungrateful and all that sort of'
thing."'-'
"All what sort of thihg?"
"Why, to look a.horse in the mouth
that has been given to you sh~ows that
-it shows that you.are not 'thinking
of the giver, but of the value of the
gift."
"What would anyone want to look
a horse in the month'for?f"
"To tell how old it is."
(After a pause.) "Papa, .can, you
toll how old a. saw is by* looking at
its teeth?"

Strange Ways.of Saying Goodby.
Exchange.
The Turk will solemnly cross his
iands upon his breast and make a
irofound obeisance when he bids you
farewell.
The genial Jlap will take his slip
ier-off as you depart and say with a
imile: you are going to leave my de

In the Philippines the departing

The German .''Lede wohl " is not
mrtiularly sympathetic in its sound
mt it. is less embarrassing than the
lindoo's performance, who, when you

The Fiji Islandeks cross two red

exchange chocolate. The Burmese

The "Auf Wiedersehen" of the
Austrian is the most feeling e ex
ression of farewell.
The Cuban would consider his good

3ea Islanders rattle 'each other's
whale teeth necklade.
The Sioux and the Blackfoot will
