THE VARSITY PIPE
More in Evidence Now than It
Was Ten Years
Ago.
The Faculty Thinks It a Matter
for Students to Reg
ulate.

In connection with the recent agitation
ut Yale over the use Of tobacco among
students, it is interesting to note the
situati at the University of Minnesota.
Ten years ago less than 10 per cent of
the students used tobacco in any form.
To-day 1t Is estimated that at least 10
per cent of the male students smoke. Re-
ports. from other colleges tell a similar
story.
Some idea Of the amount of tobacco
consumed may be obtained from the re-
port OF one dealer that he sells on an aver
age eighty packages of a single brand of
smoking tobacco a week. There are five
or six tobacconists in the district
The general impression that the smok
Ing habit Is not contracted by students
until after they come to college is not
borne out by the facts. Student clerks m
the tobacco stores state that they have
nearly as much trade from the freshmen
as from the seniors.
Smoking Is not confined to any one
class or body Of students. Fraternity
men smoke well as the nonfraternitv
men, and the laws as we'll as the medtcs.
The pipe Is the delight of the sporty stu
dent, altho the home made ciga rette Is
a close second. Cigars are the least pop
ular. 3
A ban is placed upon smoking on the
campus and the rule Is adhered to close
ly. AS soon as the campus limits are
reached, however, the boys Smoke up

NONRESIDENT HOMESTEADERS
A Land Office Special Agent Dis
cusses Present Conditions

Many stenographers, teachers and clerks
in the twin cities who are expecting to
prove up on homestead entries in North
Dakota will be unhappily astonshed to
learn that the federal government doesn't
believe their homes are all genuine.
Colonel c. A. Lounsberry, for example,
has his doubts. and Colonel Lounsberry
is special agent for the United States
general land office.
These women and men," said the col
onel at st. Paul yesterday, "have filed on
claims which they visit only once in six
months. They call that a residence
And now they expect to prove up and get
the land for S1.25 an acre But the law
insists that residence on such claims must
be continuous during fourteen months. To
call a claim home does not make it so.
and whoever makes a mere pretense that
he or she Is going to live on a Homestead
is guilty of perjury. The final certificates
received after proof may be contested and
the entries may be Cancelled by the federal
courts" -s', IL = - : -"

AN ISLAND PRINcIPALlTX

Chocolate Menier's Domain at the
Mouth of the ST. Lawrence.
Having inspected the exhibit Of Men
Ter chocolates and the other sights at
the Pan-American, and shaken hands
with Lord Mimic, and done" two or
three of the principal Canadian cities,
NJ. Henri Menier, of Paris, betook him
self to his island of Anticosti.
This island lies in the estuary of the
st. Lawrence. 1t is twenty-five miles
longer than our Long Island, and lit
tie more than twice as wide at its wild
~est. There are 3,845 square miles of
Anticost, and every square inch of it
belongs to NJ, Henri Menier, of Paris.
His purchase of the island made stir
among our good neighbors Of the Do
lninion. Some Of their papers were
pretty sure that 1t meant mischief.
Their doctrine was that the French flag
follows French chocolate men. They
warned their government carefully to
consider whether 1t would be safe to
permit the establishment of the trl
color in perpetuity in the laws of the
st. Lawrence. When the new proprie
tors agent evicted some Wesleyan
squatters of the fishing persuasion
from his island religious excitement
was superadded to the political. But
all that seems to have quieted down.
Nj. Menler paid round price for his
island, but 1t is now thought in Que
lee that it was a sound business in
vestment. He has a small feet of
steam and sailing vessels in the near
by waters. His agent shipped $4,000
worth of Holsters to Paris a fortnight
agO-the product of two months can
ming. He is going to extend the fish
cries and the canneries on a grand
scale. He is going to put up a vast
pulp mill. He is going to develop the
otheI resources of his island. He is
stocking 1t now with the silver fox and
the beaver. Their pelts will presently
swell the profits of the chocolate man.
MeanWhlle moose, caribou an deer
abound ON his island, bears shuttle un-
der his trees, the little rivers are full
of salmon and sea trout. No monarch
could ask better shooting or fishing.
NJ. Menier is having the time of his
life, and all those forests and little riv-
ers are his own. They viii be there
all the time, awaiting his visits.
Which one of our Yankee archmill-
ionaires owns an island like that? They
never thought of buying Anticosti.
They Y let the chocolate man get the start
of them. And the supply of purchas-
able islands 1875 miles long, 40 miles
wide In spots, stocked with game, and
affording first-class salmon fishing is
limited.-Hartford Courant.

Two WAYS.

There Is a good deal of comfort to be
found with the people who are, as the
phrase goes, "like our folks" The Con.
gregationallst furnishes an instance in
point, relative to the old and new way
of giving out church notices:
The old-fashioned clergyman had
been In the habit of making the an
nouncements in bis most punctllious
manner. Each one was couched In
some such language as this:
"If II be in accordance with the will of
Divine Providence, there VIII be meet
Ing In this house this evening; the sub
ject will be, Scripture Promises and
there viii be short address by the pas
tor, no unforeseen accident prevent
Ing"
When his successor arrived every one
supposed that the old order OF things
would probably continue unbroken; but
the congregation lnvoluntarlly drew q
breath OF relief when the pastor re-
marked, In a pleasant, conversational
tone:
II haven't yet decided whether or not
it's advisable to continue the evening
meetings during the coming month
'Tany rate. wen hold one tonight; and

Gar Is Not omnipotent.

Henry Labouchere, the noted Eng
llsh publiclst and journalist, In re-
cent article In bis London periodical
gives an Instance of the manner in
which even definite command of the
Car may fail to be carried out by rea-
son of the complicated system of ad-
ministration in Russia. 1t seems that
somewhere in Finland the peasants
very much wanted to have certain
roads opened so as to give them more
direct communication with st. Peters
burg. A petition was therefore circu-
lated and largely signed pointing out
the value of these roads as a means of
unifying their country with Russia.
The Gar read the petition with that
minute attention characteristic of all
he does" and with his own hand wrote
on the margin of it: II command that
these roads be made at once"
Not satisfied with that, be sent the
petition and command to the Minister
Of Public Works. who discovered that
his department could not possibly car
ry out the making of the roads. After
delay Of some time he made the fur
ther discovery that the only person
who had the authority and means was
the governor of, Archangel A Fin
lander declares that when the gov
ernOr of Archangel asks for money

order he VIII be sent to the Minister
Of Finance, De Wltte, who is an al

dertakings. II is now three and half
years since the Gar ordered the max

has yet been taken to carry out his
command.
