THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



modest, in fact modesty is his strong point, so 

 he fears that the praise that he might get would 

 overwhelm and unfit him for pill making. Let 

 us respect his wishes. 



To tell a tale of a Chemistus, 

 Ad pascem torem lat manorum, 

 Stood he upon his midnight trainus, 

 Ut fiat soees cogniscorum. 

 Good bye he bade to his amicibis, 

 Cum malto lances ex convocibis, 

 Ah ? Never, never, never more, 

 Sunt ejusdum toscidor. 

 And in the country dwell. 



GREMINGER is with Tyler, 678 2d ave., Joe 

 Carol with Dr. King, 479 3d ave. 



Will Hoburg will summer it at Long Branch 

 with A. Ah wood (the good-natured). 



Teddie Edlich, "'Eh ! you are full of green 

 paint," is with Ebberhard, 10th ave. and 22dst. 



Correspondence with '93 boys, those not 

 yet heard from, particularly solicited.

ing "elegant pharmacy." Five P.M. found 

 them back in the city. The participants were 

 Messrs. Dawson, Race, Clarke, Kirk and Col. 

 Wade, '94; Ruckert, '97. 



I occasionally have a conversation over 

 the 'phone with Van Tassell. He is with J. N. 

 Hegeman & Co., B'way and 9th st.

'94 NOTES. 



Vacations are now in order. The time for 

 a "little" recreation is at hand. I emphasize 

 little, for after laboring hard all winter a week 

 or two seems to glide away before one has 

 hardly realized it, and then we must prepare 

 ourselves for the fall trade. 



Frank Hills is at his home near Syracuse, 

 N. Y., where he will devote the summer months 

 to the manufacture of butter and cheese, which 

 should be materially increased under his guid- 

 ance. 



Kirk left on the 22d for Newport News, Va., 

 where he will spend a couple of weeks with his 

 folks on the banks of the historic James. 



Brevard Culp, who has been in Caswell & 

 Massey's B'way and 26th st. store for some 

 time, is now in their Newport branch, where he 

 will spend the season. 



I saw Pond a short time ago. He was then 

 with Scott's successors, 7th ave. and 14th st. 

 Previous to that time he had been located in 

 Brooklyn. 



The N. Y. C. P. Cyclers had a run on the 16th 

 to Coney Island. Leaving the city in the morn- 

 ing at 11, they took the Bedford ave., Prospect 

 Park and Ocean Boulevard route, arriving at 

 the Island shortly after noon, where they bathed, 

 dined, and spent a few hours examining the 

 curios. On the run home a stop was made at 

 Livingston & Wenzel's, where Born is practic- 



Vanilline. — Lippman states that he has found 

 vanilline in Nigritella suavolens, growing upon 

 the rocks of the Schiltalp, in the valley of the 

 Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Besides vanilline, 

 he states that he has found a body of the odor 

 of heliotropine or piperonal, but has at present 

 been unable to isolate it. — Berichte. 



Pharmacy and Cycling. — The existing rage 

 for cycling which has pervaded France, and 

 especially Paris, has proved of great utility to 

 pharmacists. No trade in the city uses the 

 bicyclette for delivering parcels so much as 

 chemists. The wholesale houses also use the 

 " bike." For instance, the Pharmacie Centrale 

 de France has a man who is employed in taking 

 parcels out on a machine, and the arrangement 

 seems to answer very well. The late Mr. S. M. 

 Burroughs used to enjoy his early morning 

 cycle ride in the Bois de Boulogne during his 

 not infrequent visits to Paris. The students of 

 the Paris School of Pharmacy are coming out 

 strong as cyclists. They have arranged a race- 

 meeting for Sunday morning next at half-past 

 8, in the Bois de Vincennes. The start will 

 be made at 9 a. m,, whether it be wet or fine. 

 The distance is eleven turns of a course 2,750 

 metres round, and according to all appearances, 

 the reunion will be a success. A banquet will 

 be held at the termination of the race, to which 

 the competitors can invite their friends. 



Royal Gardens at Kew. — The original Botanic 

 Gardens at Kew, of which Sir William Hooker 

 was appointed director in 1841, comprised about 

 eleven acres; the following year between three 

 and four acres were added, and in 1844 by per- 

 mission of the Oueen forty-seven acres more. 



Further additions were made in 1846 and 

 185 1, and in the present time the Royal Gar- 

 dens are 251 acres in extent. The meadow in 

 front of the Kew Palace is now to be thrown 

 open, so that visitors may have direct access to 

 the finest part of the Aboretum.— Pharm. Tour.
