eon the beef was taken into the larder. The dog did not think he had 

 his fair share. What did he do ? Now, he had been taught to stand 

 on his hind-legs, put his paw on a lady's wrist, and hand her into the 

 dining-room. He adopted the same tactics with the canon, stood on 

 his hind-legs, put his paw on his arm, and made for the door. To see 



what would follow, Canon suffered himself to be led, but the 



sagacious dog, instead of steering for the dining-room, led him in the 

 direction of the larder, along a passage, down steps, etc., and did not 

 halt till he brought him to the larder, and close to the shelf where the 

 beef had been put. The dog had a small bit given him for his sagaci- 

 ty, and Canon returned to the drawing-room. But the dog was 



still not satisfied. He tried the same trick again, but this time fruit- 

 lessly. The canon was not going again with him to the larder. What 

 was Mori to do ? And here comes the instance of reason in the poodle : 

 Finding he could not prevail on the visitor to make a second excursion 

 to the larder, he went out into the hall, took in his teeth the canon's 

 hat from off the hall-table, and carried it under the shelf in the larder 

 where the coveted beef lay out of his reach. There he was found, 

 waiting for the owner of the hat, and expecting another savory bit 

 when he should come for it. 



CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACY.* 



Bt Professor IEA EEMSEN. 



CHEMISTRY owes a debt of gratitude to Pharmacy which she has 

 for years been striving to repay. And when a disciple of the 

 new science is called upon to address those who stand at the threshold 

 of a career which will bind them to the old art, his thoughts naturally 

 turn to the day when the occupations of the chemist and the pharma- 

 cist were united in one person when all that was worth knowing of 

 chemistry was mastered by the pharmacist, and the art of pharmacy 

 was practiced by the chemist. We are far removed from that day 

 now. Both the subjects once so intimately associated have developed 

 to an enormous extent, and he would be a brave person who would 

 attempt to make himself master of the lore of both pharmacy and 

 chemistry. The term " chemist " has come to have a signification quite 

 different from that which it once had, though it is used now, as of old, 

 in two entirely distinct senses. There is, first, the chemist who makes 

 use of facts already established for a variety of useful purposes, some 

 of them of the greatest value to the human race. Such a one practices 

 the art of chemistry. Then there is, in the second place, the chemist
