66 THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 



Mr. Beebe is a friend of the ladies, but he believes that there is a limit to everything, 

 even friendship.

Father Time is active ; the faces of many of the boys are telling it. Mustaches are 

 now quite apparent ; they are more numerous than clean shaven faces which pre- 

 dominated in last October. 



Will some reader of the Journal kindly let us know where the formula for the fol- 

 lowing can be found, " Pulvis Jelliffe Compositus." 



For that tired feeling take Hood's Sarsaparilla or some of your own make. N. C. 

 White has taken this advice. The Board of Trustees find it impossible to place a cot 

 in the Quiz Room for his disposal. "A word to the wise is sufficient." 



Sect. 2 may have a dwarf but Sect. 3 has a freak. Sieve tubes in the shape of a 

 perforated stomach is the property of a rst " Ward " man.

Kay's Kurious Kolumn. 



Brooklyn had a great ball last month, both the Alumni and Phi Chi sending dele- 

 gations. I asked one of them how the affair was, and he told me that it reminded 

 him of the last Alumni ball, it was so different. 



I must give those Brooklyn bo3's credit for hustling. Some of them are nearly as 

 good as our only Fred Borggreve. They had a nice dinner a short time ago. 



Alumni Day will soon be here again. I understand that Ed. Meinecke is again 

 chairman of that day's committee, and I think our president again showed tact in his 

 appointment. Ed. is always open for suggestions. So write him, if 3'ou know of 

 au3'thing interesting for the programme. 



Did you notice " The Deacon's " foreign phrase in the January number? It takes a 

 " Schmalz Gesicht " to " sling ink " that way. 



Time was when the Alumni charged 25 cents a head at its receptions ; but the pros- 

 perity of the past year has obliterated the custom, for which " The Tanks " are thank- 

 ful. 



The yellow Journals are not in it with the Journal of Pharmacology signs in 

 the College hall, where flaming head lines and pert notices are booming business. 



I believe the boys want only one outing this year, and that in June ; too bad the 

 one last September was not as successful as w-e anticipated, for it would have estab- 

 lished a precedent. Still I guess, after all, one good old outing is about all the 

 " workers " care to worry about. 



They tell me that Richmond Beach, on Staten Island, is a good place for outings. If 

 we should select a place like this, I fancy an excursion steamer would be our best 

 means of transportation. Consequently, we would have to charge for tickets. 



A trip like this always seems to bring the crowd closer together, especially if the 

 moon be obscured when returning. 



The last outing we had on our own boat was all right. I remember a classmate of 

 mine seemed to be unusually interested in his lady friend that day; in fact, he was 

 never alone. A month later I learned that he had married her that day and that they 

 were celebrating their honeymoon.
