The large number of women students enrolled in the graduate department Of Yale at the present time calls attention to a feature Of academic life which is assuming larger proportions every year. It was in 1892 that the corpora tiOn of Yale decided to open it's gradu- ate department to bachelors of art without distinction of sex. The official catalogue of the present y'Cr has not yet been published, but it is known that there are about forty women stu dents at Yale, and there are not lack ing those who claim that it wCu d b3 impossible to find among the 2,500 members Of the university forty stu dents who contribute mcre to the real scholarship of the insti .uticn, and who are regarded with greater respect by the professors under whose insnuction they come.

Well, hadn't any patching to de- but I bet the old chap quarter and his din ner that he couldn't do what he said tore patch out of the wall paper, and when he was through eating he went to work. Tho first thing he did was to cut a piece of blank wall paper big enough to cover the hole and paste it over. Next he tc;0k a brush and painted a ground the same as the other paper Then, kick me, if he didn't take other brushes and colTs and paint in the de- sign of the paper.

FAMOUS SMOKING CONTEST.
TFrom Tit-Bits.1

Smoking is the temperate as we'll as
the contemplative mans recreation, and
great smokers are loath to exhibit their
tobacco consuming abilities by engaging
in smoking contests. Still, however.
there have been some curious tobacco
burning races.
match at Oxford, a scaffold being erect
ed in front of an inn for the accommo-
dalton of the competitors. The condi-
lions were that any one man or woman
who could smoke three ounces of tobac-
co first, without drinking or leaving the
stage should have a prize of twelve shil-
Hngs.
twas thought that a Journeyman tay-
lour of st. Peters-in-the- East would
have been the victor, he smoking faster
than and being many pipes before the
rest, but at last he was SO sick that
twas thought he would have dyed, and
an old man that had been a builder and
smoaking gently came off the conquer
or, smoaking the three ounces quite out,
and he told me that after he smoak-
ed four or five pipes the same evening".
About forty years ago a gentleman
agreed to smoke pound weight OF
strong foreign cigars in twelve hours.
The hundred cigars making up the
pound were all to be smoked down to
one inch butts.
The match was decided on Thames
steamer plying between London and
Chelsea, and by taking up his position
we'll forward the smoker had the full
benefit of the wind The contest began
at 10 a. m, and in the first hour the
smoker consumed sixteen cigars.
After nine hours smoking eighty-six
had been disposed of, and with three
hours to go and only fourteen cigars to
smoke the hacker of time gave in. The
winner declared that he felt no discOm-
fort during the contest; and finished off
the 100 cigars that evening.
More recently a solid silver cigar case
and 200 cigars were offered to the smOk-
er who consumed most cigars in two
hours. Food, drink and medicine dur
ing the contest were forbidden. There
were seventeen entries. After the first
hour ten competitors retired. The win
ner, who smoked without pause from
start to finish, reduced ten large cigars
to ashes in the two hours, while his
nearest competitor only finished seven.
The people of Lille are inveterate
smokers, and to decide the champion
ship of the town a smoking contest was
held. Each competitor was provided
with pipe, fifty grams about an ounce
and three-quarters) of tobacco, and
pot of beer. The one who smoked the
tobacco first was to be the winner
At the signal, the air was filled with
clouds of smoke. In thirteen minutes a
workingman, fOrty-five years of age,
had reduced his weed to ashes, while
seven minutes later the second man had
finished his little smoke.
After such herculean smoking match
es it is scarcely necessary to mention
the American contest in which the win
ner smoked 100 cigarettes in six hours
thirty-five minutes.

the advance on Ca1umpit was made In
that advance e company played a con-
sDicuous part. The fighting began on
the goth. When the line came for the
charge, Col. Funston selected five men
from E company to help him in his at
tempt to cross the Bagbag river. They
were: Lieut.. Ball, Corporal Arthur M
Ferguson of Burlington; A. C. Wood
run OF Yates Center; ]. E. Cornett of
Toronto, and Morrison F. Ramsey of
Garrett. These men with the colonel
ran across the bridge, while the rest of
the regiment fairly filled the air with
bullets, speeding toward the Filipino
trenches. The selected men found the
last span of the bridge gone but they
were swimmers and they plunged into
the water and swan to the opposite
shore where boat was lying 1t is
not exactly certain who was across
first, but there are some who declare
that the colonel was first, the lieuten-
ant second, the corporal third, the pri-
Yates all following together. But that
was a matter of little consequence then
The boat was hauled across and a
squad landed. This squad had much
to do with the hurried exit of the FIJI
ipinos, too, for it brought a thanking
fire to bear, and if there is one thing
Filipino cannot stand it is to receive
shots from more than one direction at
the same time.
river bank, but the next morning the
men were sent out to the left and oc-
cupied a row of nipa huts along the
Rio Grande. Here again a brave deed
was done. This time by Corporal Fer
guson. Col. Funston wanted to know
if he could get his men across the Rio
Grande, and Ferguson crawled along
underneath the 800 feet of that iron
structure, and discovered that such
move would not be practicable. Then
the colonel tried his night surprise
down stream. He was caught while
trying to ride across in a raft that
some member of the party had found.
and the night attack was given up. At
the fight which came off next day Corr
pOral Ferguson, with Sergts. Lewis and
Miller, went across with the first raft
load of Kansas men, and White and
Trembley, who belong to B company,
won their honOrs by swimming the riv-
er with a rope, thus making a ferry
possible.
From this time until the next ad-
vance, the Kansas men again were kept
at outpost duty, standing out on the
left wing of the regiment and again
enemy's sharpshooters. The regiment
was ordered later to ApaIit, where it
slept under roofs for the first time
since the opening of the campaign. OF
course, the roofs were of nipa grass,
but they gave shelter to troops that
had no blankets and but few tents. At
4:30 on the morning of May 4, the adj
vance on Santa Tomas was begun.
Company E was in the charge in which
and the company has seven prisoners
to its credit as a result of that engage
ment. At nightfull, the men went to
their nipa, huts again and now in San
Fernando, where they arrived yester-
day, they are comfortably housed.

OYSTER BEDS NEEDED.

[From the New York SUM-
The economic value of oysters and the
immense demand for them have caused
many experiments to be made looking
to an increase in the supply. The dis
covery of a method of artffcially fer
tiIizing the spawn was a most import
ant step, but at present efforts are be-
ing directed toward finding suitable
sites for new beds. Oysters are some
what particular as to their surroundings
and differences so slight as to be almost
inappreciable will produce marked
effect on the mOlIuSkS. The water must
not be too cold, and there must be some
duce a successful crop. On the Euro
pean coast and on the American Pa
cific coast some factor is missing or
some deleterious one is present.
Dr. H. F. Moore of the United States
fish commission has been making some
oyster culture in the Great Salt lake
The waters of the lake itself are far too
salty for this purpose, as they contain
about % per cent of solid matter, While
the undiluted water of the ocean con-
tains only about or 5 per cent. 1t was
hoped that suitable salinity might be
found at the mouths of streams, and
careful measurements and analyses
were made, but, though a zone of proper
density was found, it was not fitted for
oyster culture. On account OF great
fluctuations in rainfall, the amount of
fresh water brought down by streams
varied excessively and the brackish belt
moved up and down as the streams
were low or high. The winds also blew
more or less salt water into the streams
and aided in rendering the area fitted
for the life of oysters movable one.
As oysters are fixed. they can not fol-
low the brackish belt and would be
destroyed by the changes.

The soldiers name was found in the
records Of the war department. He had
been reported missing after one of the
battles of the western campaign, and
was supposed to have been killed. The
woman's marriage to the soldier was
sworn to by her brother who claimed
to have witnessed the marriage. This
is all the evidence to the marriage there
was. Upon this evidence and some tes-
tinony as to character the wo-

board of pension appeals reversed his

Evans put one of his best examiners

pension had been inspired by pension
