THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 43 



A student in Sect. I. was asked how coffee was clarified. He said it should be al- 

 lowed to run through charcoal. I wonder where he gets off ? 



Mr. R n, one of the " wise seniors" was somewhat humiliated the other day by 



being told by one of " those Juniors " that he had made a mistake in the stockroom, 

 Pharm. Lab., by giving Aqua Distillatoe instead of dilute Acetic Acid. Mr. R. now 

 tries to lay the blame upon the shoulders of Mr. Hebner, a junior who works in Mr. 

 R's place senior days. There is no use of your trying to get out of it, Mr. R., a junior 

 would know better. 



" What people don't know never hurts them any " is evidently the motto of at least 

 one Hoboken Druggist but his junior clerk gave the snap away when in reply to Dr. 

 Hoburg's question as to the preparation of Aqua Destillatahesaid it was accomplished 

 by means of filter paper, cotton or other porous media. 



Schwallies " thirst " for knowledge has grown on him to such an extent that he re- 

 gards all lectures as one huge joke. 



That some of the students (Junior and Senior alike) treat the U. S. P. much as they 

 would a family bible is proven by the fact that Foolke wants to know WHERE he can 

 find an official method for preparing H.O,. 



It was a great shock to his friends to learn that Gleason of Sec. III. had become a 

 monopolist and when asked to define a " gas " said it was an aeriform body used for 

 illuminating and costs 65c. per 1000 ft. 



If Dr. G. A. Ferguson would devote the Mathematics hour to instructing Sec. III. in 

 "kindergarten work " he might get a correct answer occasionally, but we are not sure. 



A man like Schwartz who can get a yellow precipitate by heating Sublimed Sul- 

 phur would have no difficulty in selling gold dollars for 90c. each. 



We wish to announce that February 31st is the date of the race between Banzhoff 

 and Allen for the first place in Miss R— 's favor, to be held at Madison Square Garden. 

 Admission free, winner to take entire gate receipts. 



It must have been an IngersoU dollar-watch that Zink so recklessly fired on the floor 

 just to kick up a little excitement. 



Since the "living pictures " disappeared from 69th street. Cole has been more at- 

 tentive. 



There is a " Wild " man in Sect. I. 



Iky is very much disgusted with his classmates. Do you wonder why ? Ask Hill ; 

 he knows. 



Gannon, don't try to lead that senior astray. If you don't stop he will move up to 



Harlem. 



Gentlemen, when prompting a friend in a quiz you might do well to remember that 

 you are not on the stage, so an ordinary whisper will do just as well. 



What's the matter with Loree's voice ? Is it weak, or is he bashful ? 



In his first lecture on toxicology. Dr. Diekman spoke of some in the lecture-room 

 who were able to write a history on one of the important subjects of the lecture. Look 

 out, fellows, he's "getting on to " the Seniors ; don't let him " get on to " us. 



Mr. O. M. Arguellis was recently elected as "mascot" for the class of '01. He's 

 little, but O, my ! Success to him. 



Dr. Deikman, in his early lectures, condemned a graduate 'with a substituted 

 bottom. But how about the 2 oz. graduate in the stock-room, Pharm. Lab., from which 

 Mr. Reagan dispenses Fe2 Clg. Was that a rubber bottom or the cover of a tin baking- 

 powder can ? ,
