THE YALE MEN

Recently a Yale beat was sent to
jail after swindling his classmates in
Wholesale fashion. He took the whole
country for his field of work, and
visited q prosperous classmate in San
Francisco, from whom he extracted
$50. Although well-to-do the Cali
iornlan did not like to waste $50. AMI
resolved TO be stern the next time a
Yale man called. His next visitor was
classmate who was known as the
dig In college, eighteen years before.
He seemed just as seedy as he used To
appear in the classroom, and the Cali
fornian scented another appeal for
money So he fortified himself.
and when asked how the world had
used him, related doleful story of
bad luck. debt and poverty. He must
have drawn the picture pretty strong,
for his visitor was deeply moved Sud
denly the seedy elassmate turned and
said: Now don't feel hurt at my
offer but | wish you would take So
000 from me TO use until you strike
better luck l really don't know what
TO do with the money. or how TO in
vest all have, and shall be delighted
to let you have H." There was an
awkward pause, an outburst, and brief
explanation, Then both adjourned TO
the club to talk ii over. and the Cali
ornian learned how his old class mate
had struck Il rich with a prosperous
corporation and was really ready to
give away money.

OLD PIPES.

Before the discovery of the famous
weed, smoking was undoubtedly in
dulged in. Herbs and leaves were
smoked for medicine purposes, and to
this day, in some parts of England,
colts foot, yarrow, and other plants
are still used i'm the same way, with
cacy. OF the pipes of the anti-tobacco
period, we know little or nothing, the
earliest specimens to be found in col
lections dating from the time of Queen
Elizabeth, during whose reign tobacco
was introduced. 4 German traveller
who visited England in those days
was much surprised to see English
men 'draw the smoke into their
mouths Through pipes of clay), which
they puff out again through their nos
trils like tunnels" The pipes of this
period have very small barrel shaped
bowls, and are usually of better clay
and make than those of the succeed
ing reigns. In the time of James |
and Charles I the bowls slightly in
creased in size, but the form remained
pretty much the same. The pipes in
vogue during the Commonwealth and
the reigns of Charles II and James II
still retain the barrel Shaped bowl. but
in an enlarged form. Some of these
early pipes are furnished with a pro-
lection having a fiat base, which en-
ables the pipe. when placed on the
table. to remain in an upright posi-
ton. The short pipe. known in Ire
land as the "dudeen." and in Scotland
as the equity pipe" was in use at the
same time as the ordinary barrel
shape with long stem. Barrel
shaped pies ceased to be the fashion
with the reign of James ri, when the
elongated bowl of the time of William
and Mary came into favor. Hogarth,
in his drawings, depicts the favorite
form of the reign of Queen Anne and
George |. With the introduction of the
Dutch type of tobacco pipe the fiat
spur disappeared, as did the barrel
shape bowl. to be succeeded by one of
more prominence, if of less utility.
Old tobacco pipes are usually plain,
with the exception of the miled Dor
der. impressed by hand. running
round the mouth. Ornamental pipes
are occasionally found. but are very
rare. Pipes were also made of iron
and brass in the reign of William TIL
but were not commonly used.

Two Stenographers Exchange Stories a.

They were both old time stenographers,
employed somewhere by tAe week, but the
consciousness of being able at will to pro-
duce pages of hens tracks which only they
could decipher-and sometimes even they
failed to do so--inyested them with feel
ing of intense superiority to the rest of
mankind.
But this normal feeling was for the mo-
ment usurped by one of humility, as they
