What Ninety-five can justly claim is, not conspicuous and overshadowing prominence in only one phase of college life while all other lines of activity are undeveloped and crippled, but that which the world expects of college men-that of an all-round man, a man steeped not only in the classic roots of dead languages, but also having the inclination and the enthu- siasm to be in the world, and make the most of life. Accordingly, then, as a class, while we have not avoided our studies, but have always been equal to the occasion, always coming oft with the flying and glowing colors of victory and flattering success, yet we have nevertheless found time to lead the college in all its varied lines of development- notably in Athletics. ' Take, for instance, Football. It -was Ninety-five that introduced football into Colby, and that to stay. Ever since, Ninety-ive has been the backbone of the team. Indeed, it has been a Ninety-live man who has been the captain of the 'Varsity Eleven during the entire four yearsf course. To further continue the list of college enterprises in which Ninety-ive has been prominent and leading, would be superfluous and unnecessary. For Ninety-tive is conscious that she can leave her worthy and enviable record to the fair judgmeht of the classes which are to follow in her footsteps, learning from what Ninety-tive has done how to direct their college purposes and actions. And as these classes shall also in after years enter the world of action, Ninety-five will be most glad to meet them, proud that they and she were once students together at their Alma Mater, Colby University, by the shady banks of the peaceful Kennebecf' P To recapitulate our history, we might say that as freshmen, in the eyes of sophomores as green as grass, we entered upon the Colby campus, thirty-three in number, in the fall of '91, conducted ourselves with honor during our freshman year, during our sophomore year did our duty in initiating Ninety-six into the ways and customs of college life at Colby, during our junior year maintained the appropriate junior ease and gracefulness, and during our senior year have carried ourselves with due and fitting senior dignity.

THE fame of Ninety-six has become spread abroad to so great an extent that the Boston Globe sent a re- porter down to Waterville, not long ago, to investigate the matter. The following is taken from the letter which was published in the Globe: It is said that there is only one person who ever got the better of the class of '96, We have not yet learned the particulars, but we believe the man's name was AndrewQ?j Saxon, and we think he is a certain pugna- cious looking fellow with eye-glasses and a moustache, whom we have seen several times walking proudly about the campus. But we have had some difficulty in reconciling this with another rumor that Mr. Saxon died some time nerously laid aside all hard feelings and attended the There is one thing which puzzles your reporter considerably. He was invited the other day to join in a pleasant ride to the ,neighboring village of East Vassalbord, ending with a supper at a place they call Bradley's. East Vassalboro' is a very pretty village, but a little dark on account of the scarcity of street lights. Now when your re- porter happened to mention his present mission to some of the good people of East Vassalboro', the remark was re- ceived very strangely, and it seemed to him that he was trea ted with marked coldness for the rest of the evening. You would almost have thought that the class of '96 was not admired in East Vassalborol We understand that the faculty of Colby have had considerable difficulty in properly arranging the college course and that they have several times had to call on the class of '96 for assistance. According to a prominent member of the class, it has been suggested that Ninety-six di It is sad that any calamity should fall upon such an are becoming blind. Dr. Holt is making strenuous efforts smiss the faculty altogether, and run the college themselves. aggregation as this, but it is now greatly feared that they to avert the danger, giving up most of his time to the work, and he may possibly succeed. If not, we can only hope that blindness will have the same effect on Ninety- six that it had upon Milton. Ninety-six, with one exception, has no daughters of its own to dictate to, as Milton had, and that may be the reason why the class shows such a tendency to connect tendency is most marked in the case of those who have the itself with other people's daughters. At any rate, this greatest trouble with their eyes. Your reporter will endeavor to clear up SOHIC of these matters in his next letter. 21 K Class of '96 A f X' X LADIES.

For some years the stock vaunt of the freshwomen at Colby has been We 're the largest class that ever entered Colby l Ninety-six, as by intuition, saw that anything on the curriculum was not the thing for her, so while the men of Ninety-six could boast f'We come with the new Presidentf' the women of Ninety-six could claim The President's little girl comes with us. When they began to plan to receive the men of N inety-six, they found one of the pleasantest homes in Water- ville was at their disposal. This reception was the tirst of many pleasant gatherings of the two classes. Perhaps it was because they hrst met us under such favorable circumstances that they asked to wear our colors, so the united Ninety-six wave the blue and brown to the music of the same yell. We found that the sweetest singer in Colby was in our ranks, and she organized the Ladies' Quartette of Ninety- six, which sang first at our freshman exit and afterwards won a reputation for itself at socials. Before the end of our Hrst year, one girl had gone home. Six others have left us, but our greatest sorrow came Hrst, for -she is the only one who cannot come back to us. In our second year, came a long, fierce struggle with the Leontine Georgias, only relieved by skirmishes with our Elocution teacher. Early in the spring it became apparent that Ninety-six would do her duty by the Stream and Botany excursions. What is the full result of that spring term, only time will tell. With song and laughter, and only a few tears, we did exeunt from the sophomore class by a banquet at Pratt farm and a ride home in the early, early morning. i E At the beginning of our junior year, each new comer was greeted by this announcement: H President Whitman is going abroad next year and we've got to take his work this- year. That means we can have only one election, and which one are you going to dropm? The curriculum had been adjusted anew for Ninety-six. We have worked hard and have been happy this year, and what's more, we have two professors now, one who was born so, and one who, at our last class meeting, kindly consented to be made so. 23 Glass of'.97. .

' FX, But, whatever the historian has written, be assured that it 'III 'lx , ,ali 5 has been stated truthfully and impartially. First of all, we 'I Y point with pride at the course we have followed since we ,. F A li V va- entered college.

How we have its :V ' A succeeded need not be stated. It is too well known to ,,m1mm:g:,,.,,, f W 7741-ian. :Z am? W Z Wu.. every member of our college. Our relations, thus far, with both faculty and classQ have been the pleasantest, and with the continued gentlemanly conduct that we have shown in the past, we feel confident that they will be. Of our class spirit we have reason to feel proud, for we are bound together by the closest ties. No college man was ever more loyal to his class than a member of Ninety-seven. Though we have not been so successful in class games as we would wish, still we think that our standing in the classroom is enough to more than make up for this. The strength and vigor of our intellects, upon entering this institution, attracted the attention of every professor, and the reputation of our class for solid, thorough scholarship has become Hrmly established. Our treatment of the freshmen is worthy of ex- ample. Little water has been thrown, and that which has been was only for the good of some member of Ninety- eight, conspicuous as to his mouth. We have confiscated none of their propertyg we have been merciful to them in class scuflles, and, in short, have used them like gentlemen. From these brief statements, need you wonder that Ninety-seven is proud of her past? And from the belief that she will continue in her present course, she looks with confidence to the future.

ITI-I glad hearts we gathered for our exit, but with sad hearts we parted, for reluctantly did we go out from our first college year. We had been such happy freshmen, we feared that no other year of our college course could equal the lirst. We opened this new year with an In-it, which has proved to have been the jolly beginning of a jolly year. Our freshman life has been far surpassed by our sophomore life, with its greater variety of work, when Grammar lessons have been forgotten and construction seldom thought of 5 when we have had English in which not even Genung has proved formidable, and we have made the acquaintance of Shakespeare, Kit Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and Beaument, and Fletcher, and have had many interesting things read to us, for children like stories. We have developed a fondness for German songs, and once our sweet singing received a sweet reward. Cuts have not been so numerous this year, and we have wished our professors would forget us oftener, and more frequently come to recitation just in time to meet us going away. The new curriculum has gone into good working order, under us, our class being the first to-take French in its first year, and to begin German in its second. Experience has taught us to look fearlessly forward, and 'to anticipate more pleasurevand profit from the two years that await us. 27 class of '98, J 7 GENTLEMEN.

Now the number of youths exceeded that of the maidens. But is it not written in the book of the wise ones of Colby that quality is better than quantity? And again, it came to pass that they assembled in the temple, and when the tutor lifted up his eyes and beheld them, he was sore afraid, and would have fallen had not one of the sons of Belial caught him. Now the faculty spake, and said unto them, H Thou shalt study with all thy mind and with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and thou wilt surely receive a sheepskin at the end of thy course. So the maidens hearkened unto the voice of the faculty, and plugged, saying, Our reward will come in due season, if we Hunk not. A Now one day the maidens reasoned among themselves, saying, f'What hindereth us from having a Peanut Drunk, even as our brethren at the bricksu? And it came to pass, when they had said these words, that they did even as they had said. Moreover, in the twelfth month, which is the month December, the maidens gave a feast unto their brethren, and many were hidden, but three remained in outer darkness, inasmuch as the sons of Belial had taken away their wedding garments. And the maidens grew and waxed strong in knowledge, so that the people marvelled, saying, Whereunto shall we liken this class of '98? Verily, it cannot be equalled. Now the rest of their history, and all that they did, and the mighty works that they wrought for the college, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the freshmen? J SI NZ , X ..

J T is a well-known fact that the interest taken in Bible study in our American colleges is steadily increasing. Never before in the history of our nation were so many college men engaged in a regular, systematic study of the Bible. In this. respect, the past few years mark a new era in the history of Christianity. This wide-spread revival of Bible learning accounts for the great spiritual awakenings which have recently taken place in many of our institutions. This accounts for the fact that the Student Volunteer movement has sent two men a week, on an average, to the foreign Held. The Moody summer school has been a most important agency in awakening and continuing this new interest in the Bible. The Colby delegates who attended these summer conferences became deeply interested in this new phase of association work. Earlyiin the spring of '93, a class was formed at Colby, following as nearly as possible the method and plan of study outlined at Northheld. Only six joined in this study, yet each member of the class began to see new beauties in the Bible. The following year, four classes were formed. Twenty-uve men carried the work through the year. It was evident from the year's experience that the plan of study required no further trial to prove its adaptation to the needs of college men. ' When our delegates went to Northfield last summer, they were requested to make a special investigation of Bible study, that we might complete our system. New courses were procured for the freshmen and the juniors. The sophomores continued the course which all had pursued the year before. Early in the fall term our association drew up an original course in the Life of St. Paull' for the seniors. Thus equipped with a progressive course of Bible study, we began the college year. Fifty-nine entered the eight classes, and fifty-uve continued to the end. ln spite of our inexperience, and in spite of the fact that we had adopted a complete four years' system, there has been a steady growth in the interest in Bible study. With our present completed system, the Colby Association is among the first associations in New England in Bible study equipment. 67 , 0 0 Hssooii-ation. ......................,..

'S' J j URING the past winter there has been a revival of interest in the royal game of Chess at Colby, and the indications are that the game has come again to stay. Football in the fall, and base ball in the spring furnish the recreation and amusement to the students which they need, but in the interval between these two games there has always been a dearth of sport, and chess seems to be the one thing needful to fill the gap. During the winter a chess club has been organized, and a tournament of the members has been played. One hour each Saturday evening has been devoted to careful study of the most approved openings of the game, under the instruction of Prof. Marquadt, who kindly prodered his services. Prof. Marquadt was a distinguished member of a chess club in Germany, he has a profound knowledge of the game, and his assistance has been much appreciated by the players of chess at Colby. An attempt was made to organize a chess league among the colleges of Maine, but for this year, at least, the attempt was a failure. Our challenges were declined by both Bowdoin and Maine State, while Bates failed to reply. The prospects are, however, that next year will see a league of at least three of the colleges of Maine, and if this occurs, the growth of chess, the noblest of games, both here at Colby and in the other Maine colleges, is assured. 74 Young Meds Republican Club of Collou.

Bates and Maine State, however, were no mean antagonists, and rendered the result of the contest doubtful in the extreme until the end, when Colby, as usual, hoisted the pennant over her grandstand. f At the beginning of the season, the prospects of Colby's team were by no means good, and, indeed, until the last few games, victory was hardly hoped for, even by the most enthusiastic rooters. Captain Hoxie was a hard worker, the team was composed of conscientious players and managed by an able man, but somehow, in critical situations, the boys had an exasperating habit of letting the easiest grounders go unmolested by, and of swiping ambitiously at the unresisting atmosphere, while the ball sailed calmly over the plate and settled lovingly in the opposing catcher's mit. This was kept up until the supporters of the team were well-nigh desperate, and a shaking up of the whole team ensued which produced a combination, not only a surprise to itself but also to its opponents. One game is especially worthy of mention. One balmy afternoon Bates crossed bats with us on the campus, with 82 her curly-haired pet, Mr. Slattery, in the box. Then followed a tragedy, heart-rending to witness. Nearly every man on the Bates team was utilized as pitcher, with the same unvarying result, and the spectacle of their punishment at the hands of our men would have been ridiculous, had it not been so pitiful. Sympathy for the unfortunate makes us suppress the Hnal score, which hardly stoppedashort of three figures. The last game of the season, which brought the pennant to Colby, was perhaps the prettiest contest ever fought on the Colby diamond. Bates, with her customary monumental self-confidence, came down to wipe up the ground with our team, but strangely enough the boys objected strongly to this treatment, and to such good purpose that the red uniforms went home defeated by a score of 6-o. The fact that the pennant depended upon this game, and that, during the struggle, the bases were twice Hlled by Bates men with nobody out, made the game one of peculiar interest. Too much cannot be said in praise of Patterson, whose cool-headed pitching, phenomenal fielding, and gentlemanly conduct have made him a favorite both with Colby men and their rivals. ' The prospects for this year are bright. Colby has good men for every position and plenty of them, and if the pennant leaves our campus, it will not be the fault of the supporters of the team. Bates, for reasons which are amusing, to say the least, has withdrawn from the League, but with Colby, Bowdoin and Maine State in the circuit, the coming season promises to be one of the most successful and interesting in the history of the Maine College League.

X HE last football season at Colby, though not as successful as the supporters of the team hoped for at first, nevertheless gives evidence of a healthy growth in the game. The record made by the eleven was not remarkable, and the num- ber of games won was not large, yet better football was played, than ever before at Colby. There was more material for a good team and more interest displayed by the players and the college at large than in preceding years 5 and at the beginning of the season prospects were encouraging in the extreme. Mr. Malone, of Harvard, proved a most efficient coach, and the boys worked hard under his instruction. At the time of his departure, with all the men in good condition, it is safe to say that we had an eleven of which great things could be expected, but a series of unfortunate accidents changed somewhat the aspect of affairs, and in no game was the college represented by the strongest eleven possible. The season opened with a game with Kent's Hill, and the resulting score was ro- ro. This in itself was -not an inauspicious beginning. Kent's Hill, without doubt, was the strongest fitting-school team in the State, had been coached by experienced men, while we put in the held a team of inexperienced players. Our next game, which was with the Hebron eleven, resulted in a creditable victory for us, and this was followed by that most gratifying game of the season with South Berwick. South Berwick came down with a team of giants, coniident of winning, while we were disabled by Captain 1ordan's inability to play. The big crowd in attendance expected to see us defeated, and when the opponents failed to score while we cleverly rolled up eighteen points, all were surprised. In every particular that game furnishes occasion for a feeling of pride. In the three remaining games, one with Bowdoin and two with Bates, we were defeated. But in each case much praise is due the eleven for the way in which they played in the face of hard luck. They creditably represented the college. The game of football is still young at Colby, but with the spirit which now exists in the college, it should take a prominent position in our college athletics in years to come. 86 Tennis 13-Tssooiention.

AJ- HE Board of Editors of the ORACLE dedicate most rittingly this bright annual to that officer actively connected with the college, who has had the longest term of service. The choice is all the more felicitous because this publica- tion is issued in the seventy-hfth year of the history of Colby. For more than a third of this period, four years as student, and twenty-nine as professor and librarian, Prof. Hall has been identified with the work of the college, and never have his services been more helpful and valuable than at the 'present time. These years, too, in some respects, have been the most eventful in the life of the college. The patriotic enthusiasm awakened by the shot fired at Fort Sumter, the new vigor and hope given by the first endowment of S5'o,ooo by Gardner Colby, the great increase in the number of the students, and the advance of the college to its present height of influence and power, have all come under the eye of Prof. Hall. He is descended from Colonial and Revolutionary sfock, and was born in Portland, Me., Sept. 9, 1840. His parents had been successful teachers, and naturally had great influence in shaping his intellectual life. He was educated in the public schools of his native city. The Boys' High School, from which he was graduated in 1858, was even then widely known throughout New England. When he began his course, the late Prof. Moses Lyford, LL. D., Colby, '43, was the beloved and revered principal. In its discipline, and in the forceful personality and exceptional ability of many of its pupils, the school stood as high, perhaps, as any of similar grade in the State. The following eminent men were among the associates of Prof. Hall in this famous school:-Hon. T. B. Reed, LL. D., Hon. joseph W. 91 n Symonds, Hon. W. W. Thomas, jr., Hon. C. F. Libby, and Prof. F. H. Gerrish, M. D., Portland, Rev. H. M. King, D. D., Providence, R. I., Rev. I. F. Elder, D. D., Albany, N. Y., Prof. E. S. Morse, Ph. D., Salem, Mass., and Hon. R. C. Shannon, .LL. D., New York City. Other names of men now in positions of honor and trust might be given, but this group alone would give enduring fame to any preparatory school. The closing year of his course was spent under the able and inspiring instruction of the late james H. Hanson, LL. D., Colby, 742, who became principal in 1857. In after years Prof. Hall sustained the most intimate relations with the two principals just named. He became the colleague of the former in the faculty of Colby, and was closely associated with the latter during his second period of service as the head of the Coburn Classical Institute. In his preparatory course, Prof. Hall won, by his scholarship, a place of honor among his fellows. He was prominent, also, in the public declamations, and excelled as an interpreter of some of the famous passages of Shakespeare. Few of his associates in this formative period felt the struggle of life more keenly than he. He was thrown largely upon his own resources, and worked laboriously that he might gain the coveted education. -He entered Colby in 18 5 8, and took high rank in the class, which was the largest that Colby had ever welcomed and which was also regarded as one of unusual ability. Junior Parts in the Senior Exhibition were first assigned to the class of '62, and that in Greek was awarded to Prof. Hall. He was one of the best athletes in college, but a serious injury, received during his sophomore year, debarred him from further participation in college sports. He was graduated with honor in 1862. The cap and gown were not then in vogue, but some of the members of the class wore the blue at their graduation, and left for the front soon after the word mzlefe had fallen from the lips of President Champlin. The year following his gradua- tion he taught in the Oread Institute, Worcester., Mass., which was then under the charge of Rev. Robert E. Pattison, D. D., who had had two terms of service, of three years each, as President of Colby. In 186 3 he was appointed to the position of requisition clerk in the office of Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, where he had charge of the books and accounts pertaining to expenditures authorized by the War Department, amounting to several hundred millions annually. When Hon. W. P. Fessenden, LL. D., Senator from Maine, was made Secretary of the Treasury, he, of his own accord, appointed Prof. Hall, with promotion, to the same position of' requisition clerk in the Treasury Department. The writer of this sketch 4 92 :n found his college friend busy at the last-named important post of duty in january, 186 5, some three months before the close of the war. Prof. Hall was in Washington at the time of the fall of Richmond and the assassination of President Lincoln. He always regarded this ,employment in Washington as temporary, and continued his linguistic studies, in which he took great delight, amid the multiplied excitements of those eventful years. When the Professorship of Modern Languages was established in Colby in 1866, he was chosen unanimously the incumbent at the age of twenty-five, and became the sixth member of the faculty. The first instructor in this department was the Rev. S. F. Smith, D. D., author of America, who is living in an honored old age in Newton Centre, Mass. Dr. Smith was ordained pastor of the Baptist Church in Water- ville in 1834. He also served the college as instructor in Modern Languages from that date to 1841. In later years, and until the establishment of the chair of Modern Languages, French and German were taught by different members of the faculty. Prof. Hall assumed the duties of his new position just as the skies were beginning to brighten above Colby. He came to his work with a good measure of equipment. In his preparatory and college course he had excelled in linguistic branches, and during his residence in Washington, where he enjoyed exceptional facilities for instruction, he had pursued with ardor the study of French and German. In 1872 he obtained permission to be absent in Europe during a part of the academic year. He was matriculated as a student of philology at Goettingen, and attended the class of Prof. Theodor Benfey, in Sanscrit, and that of Prof. Wilhelm Mueller, in Modern Languages. He visited the chief cities of Germany and spent some time in Paris. He was the first of the professors in Colby to go abroad for study while in the service of the college. He returned in 187 3, and continued in the faithful charge of his department until relieved in 1891, that he might be able to give his entire time to the work of librarian. For a full quarter of a century Prof. Hall occupied the chair of Modern Languages. The' straightened circumstances of the college, however, did not permit him to devote his time exclusively to the work of his special department. For some years he taught acceptably, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, Horace and Tacitus. In the first seven years of his service only one member, Prof. I. D. Taylor, A. M., was added to the faculty. The most of the professors had work in widely separated departments. The increase in the number of students and in the revenue of the college was slow. The period of specialism had not then 93 F come to Colby. To Prof. Hall, throughout his prolonged and faithful service in his important department, came many and varied calls. In college, church and state he worked with tireless zeal. For several years he kept the work of the college before the denomination and the state by his excellent correspondence in the Zz'an'r Adwrafr, Parflmzzi Press, and The Wafrhfzzan. In fact, his facile pen was in constant use to tell the story of Colby. In spite, however, of these multiplied services, the incumbency of Prof. Hall was of noteworthy length, and of such a character as to give him an assured place of remembrance among the honored instructors of Colby. The distinguishing work of Prof. Hall in the service of the college has been that of librarian. The duties of this position were placed upon him in 1873. He succeeded Prof. S. K. Smith, D. D., Emeritus professor of rhetoric, who had served from 1851 to 187 3. This honored officer had a wide knowledge of books, a ine literary taste, and had wisely guided the reading of many generations of students. When Prof. Hall entered upon his work, the library contained some nine thousand volumes, with a circulation of only seven hundred and sixty volumes annually, and was open but two half hours in the week. Students were not allowed within the alcoves, and were railed out from the books by an iron bar. The modifications of these regulations and the increase of the circulation among the undergraduates until it has reached eight thousand volumes annually, have been gradually brought about under the administration of Prof. Hall. In 1876 the donations and purchases had brought the library into the ten thousand volume class, and secured mention in the Report on Public Libraries in the United States. In 1877, Gen. john Eaton, U. S. Commissioner of Education, after a visit to the New England colleges, mentioned in his report two libraries, those of Harvard and Colby, as showing special improvement in the use of educational libraries. In reference to that of Colby, he says 1 f'The gratifying increase in the usefulness of the library waslnotsat all due to any improper influence, or any shortening of the time of the loans which would increase the number-. It arose from the labors of the present efficient librarian in cataloguing, indexing, and making accessible the contents of the library 5 from his efforts to procure by gift or, purchase, desirable books actually in demand, from appointing the library hour at the close of the chapel service, when all the students would be assembled near by within the building 3 and from throwing open the alcoves to the free inspection of the students. 94 1 At the Annual Conference for 1894 of the American Library Association, the librarian of Brown University, H. L. Koopman, A. M., Colby, '80, made the following striking reference to the library of Colby and its efficient head: U It is still a source of gratification to me that my start in the scholarly use of books was made amid such favorable surroundings as those of the library of Colby Uhiversity. When I entered college, in 1876, the books under Prof. Hall's charge numbered about thirteen thousand, of which the less-used half was relegated to the second floor, leaving on the first floor one of the best working libraries for student use that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. This is not merely my undergraduate opinion 3 I have visited this library twice, after intervals of work in great reference libraries QAstor and Cornellj, and each time the im- pression was only deepened. The elements which go to make up the excellence of this little collection are, in brief, the follow- ing : convenient size, not too great to prevent the studious student's acquiring a real knowledge of the library's contents 5 good selection of books with reference to mere undergraduate work, and within the scanty means at the librarian's disposal, entire accessibility, convenient arrangement, and a satisfactory catalogue 5 above all, a skilled and helpful librarian. The faults are those of poverty, and such as a scholar will ind in the best of students' libraries when he attempts to use them in research. With these tributes may be added that of Ex-President Pepper : Colby has an admirable working library, which is admirably worked. Every department is greatly indebted to it, while some of the departments draw from it their life blood. It is almost equally valuable in that general literary influence which extends beyond allthe departments. Both the extent and good quality of the library are largely due to the wise enterprise of Prof. Hall. He is ever alert to secure from every possible source, additional material, and he knows the difference between wheat and chaff. But it is in the actual working of the library that the value of his services is most obvious. Scrupulously systematic, his system is ,not the end to which all else is sacrihced, but the means to the most free, ready, and effectual use of the library. His arrangement of the books and his method of accounts are such as to give the least trouble, and the greatest facility and security. He is also tirelessly faithful in attendance, and prompit and effectual in' assisting all those desiring aid. The amount of daily labor incidentally connected with his office, never slighted, can be fully known only to himself, but others get hints of it. Colby University is justly proud of her librarian, and grateful for his eminent services. It will be 95 noticed that all three of those who pay these just tributes to the work of Prof. Hall, emphasize the accessibility of the treasures under his charge. In this respect he is like Hezekiah of old, who hearkened unto the messengers of Balaam, King of Babylon, U and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures 5 there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not. When Prof. Hall entered upon his work, he set himself studiously and persistently to his task of mining for the best treasures in the library, and, when unearthed, to place them at the disposal of all. By his efforts the library has been catalogued, classihed, and arranged, and its riches rendered accessible, until it is now the indispensable adjunct of every department of instruction. He began his service, also, at the time of the awakening of the new interest in library matters, which has revolutionized the relations of the library to its public. He was one of the original members of the American Library Association, and has kept abreast of all the reforms and best ideas called out by that organization. In fact, Prof. Hall is a model librarian, and the writer does not feel that this sketch contains any word of overstrainedeulogy in reference to his services as custodian of the literary treasures of Colby University. A librarian is, perhaps, like a poet, born, .not made. Many influences, however, have contributed to his marked success in the position which he Hlls so admirably. He inherited a love of books from his father, and was early instructed in their proper use and care. In his boyhood there were excellent libraries in the Grammar and High schools which he attended. The pupils were taught especially the use of reference books, and were encouraged to select for their reading only works of high literary merit. The three largest libraries of the city at that time were the Atheneum, the Mechanics, and the Mercantile, and all these were accessible to him. In his High School course the literary spirit was prominent'to a marked degree. His eminent associates, named in the early part of this sketch, were then, and are now, lovers of good books. His experience as a skilful accountant in the Treasury and War departments, in Washington, at a time when the volume of business was unprecedented, gave him business habits which have been invaluable to him as a librarian. In his manly effort at self-education, in Portland, he had for some time the care of the largest hall in the city. By this experience he learned to study the comfort and convenience of those who frequented a public building. And so by character and training 96 Prof. Hall was fitted for the position which he has so filled as to bring great good to the college and deserved honor to him- self. Aside from his duties as librarian, he has been deeply interested in educational and historical matters. He was one of the founders of the Maine Pedagogical Society. He was President in 1888, and at the annual meeting delivered an address on The Teacher and the Library, which was printed in the Maine School Report for that year. He has prepared a monograph on ff Higher Education in Maine, to be published soon by the U. S. Bureau of Education, and which includes the most complete history of the college that has yet been written. He has been Registrar since 1888, and some of the duties of the office, thus designated, have been performed by him ever since he became a professor. He united with the First Baptist Church in Portland in 1862, and transferred his membership to that in Waterville in 1866. He has been active in the life and work of this church since his connection with it. He was treasurer for a long period, and has been clerk for the past twenty-five years. He has been secretary and treasurer of the Alumni Association from its organization. The many friends of Colby feel greatly indebted to Prof. Hall for the General Catalogue. The plan was original with him, though he found, after beginning the work, that Rochester University had tried the experiment. Many disliked to abandon the Latin Triennial, as it was supposed to be representative of the scholarly spirit of the college. The catalogue, however, had the instant approval of the alumni of Colby. The Committee on the Harvard catalogue consulted Prof. Hall in refer- ence to the change, and decided to issue their own, henceforth, in English. Many other colleges have copied the plan. In the academic year 1892-93 he served as chairman of the Prudential Committee, and had the oversight and direction of all current expenditures. This review of the work of Prof. Hall in Colby shows that he has served the college in many directions. One highly important service for Colby remains to be recorded. Hon. R. C. Shannon, LL. D., who was elected to Congress last fall from the I3tl'l. district in the City of New York, became the friend and associate of Prof. Hall in the last year of his course in the Boys' High School in Portland. They entered Colby together, and became room- mates and inseparable companions. In the spring of 1861 came the call to arms, Col. Shannon was among the first to enlist and joined the Fifth Maine Regiment, in which he found rapid promotion and won deserved renown. But the friend- 97 ship with Col. Shannon, formed and strengthened during student days, ripened with the passing years. Wealth came to the college student who left his books for the dread arbitrament of arms. Colby was growing, but its needs kept in advance of its endowment. A building was needed for the department of Astronomy and Physics. -Prof. Hall stated this need to his friend, and the building came. His gift of 515,000 secured an edifice of which the college is justly proud. It is a memorial both of the muniiicence of the donor, and of the friendship which was the occasion of its erection. This sketch would not be complete without some reference to the domestic relations of Prof. Hall. Heiwas happily married in 1865 to Mary Sophia Hascall, of West Rutland, Vt. She is the granddaughterlof Rev. Daniel l-lascall, founder of Madison, now Colgate University, and made her home in her early womanhood- with Rev. W. H. Shailer, D. D., who was a prominent trustee of Colby from 1855 to 1881. Early familiar with the best traditions of college life, she was peculiarly htted for those social duties which have come to her during her long residence in Waterville. Her home has been a centre of rehning infiuence, and many students have been welcomed to its abounding hospitality. The pleasant commence- ment receptions will long be remembered by those who were in attendance. Cf the four children of this union, one, Celia, has been the efficient assistant of her father in the work of the library since 1891, and another, Hascall Shailer, is a member of the class of '96. Other allusions to the life and work of Prof. Hall might be made in this sketch, if this year were to mark his retirement from the duties which he has discharged with such rare Hdelity for nearly a generation. But he is still in active service, and all the friends of Colby hope that many years will elapse before he is called by the Providence of God to put the harness off. The coming Commencement promises to be one of the most inspiring in the history of Colby. Many of the graduates will throng the campus and halls, which once felt their joyous tread. The library is sure to be the prominent centre of interest. It is to be hoped that he who is now its presiding genius, and who has been the patient guide of gener- ations of students to its literary treasures, will be there to welcome all who return with radiant faces and tender memories to their beloved Alma Mater. In the English translation of Murdock from the Syriac Peshito Version, Paul says to Timothy, 98 X Y I Q And when thou comest, bring the bookcase which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, but especially the roll of parchmentsf' The great apostle evidently had a care for his literary treasures. He felt the charm, the spell of books. Prof. Hall is dominated in thought and lifexby his love for the library of Colby. This has been his care, his solicitude, through many years. All the friends of the college unite in the wish that a kindly Providence may lengthen the useful life of Prof. Hall, and that he may remain through many years the faithful and vigilant custodian ,of the bookcase and the books. ,:735323E33z, ffl!

O X LONG years ago when this old world was young, The herald, Mercury, with silver tongue, Called all the gods together, for great Iove, My mighty father, in his wisdom strove To find among his subjects, one and all, Which worthiest of true honor he might call. The gods came hurrying from remotest space, From far-off Egypt, from the bounds of Thrace, Persian and Scythian came across the seas, Gods carved by Phidias and Alcamenes, Stone gods and marble, brass and ivory, Silver and wooden gods, all came to see - And join the contest, gods both large and small, Rhodes sent her great Colossus last of all, Arid one and all they told their wide renown N5 And each god urged his claim to wear the crown. Then mighty love, with his all-watchful eye, Weighing their value, passed the giants bygn Chose not the vaunting gods that stretched afar To set their brows against 'the morning star, But gave the crown, in those wise days of old, To one small goddess made of purest gold. So, I, to-night, have weighed each varying claim IOI Have to each virtue given its rightful name In this new contest. Honor where 'tis clue I give, O sister colleges, to you!

Xp 'XX 3 F' T was a pleasant morning in fhe latter part of October, A. D. 17. Mr. Ananias, a tall, slender xsenior at jerusalem University, stood on the door-steps of the W omen's Abode. I-Ie rang the bell hesitatingly, and in a few moments the Matron appeared. 'f May I see Miss Sapphira a momentn? bashfully asked Ananias. Certainly, step into the reception room, please, I will speak to the young lady, was the-pleasant reply of the Matron. Miss Sapphiraj' began Ananias, as soon as the blushing co-ord was seated on the ide-a-fefe by his side, there is to be a football game this afternoon between the 'Varsity team and the Pharisee team. It will be an interesting game, I know, for is it not written, ' Beware of the 'leaven of the Pharisees 'P Now, would you like to attend P O, certainly, thank you, Mr. Ananiasf' i Having thus broken the ice, they were soon comfortably seated in the grandstand, enjoying the close and exciting game, smiling when the jerusalem yell was given from the bleachers, applauding the magnificent kicking of Josephus, and sighing whenever Gamaliel fumbled the ball. Ananias had frequently attended the sociables given at the synagogue of Elisha, but he had never before taken a co-ord to a ball game. This new experience proving so enjoyable, it is not strange that on the evening after the Ierusalum-Pharisee game, as he was comfortably seated in his room puffing away at a cigarette which he had bummed from his room-mate, Nicodemus, he should resolve to be a little more attentive to the co-ords during the remainder of his course. Very soon the students began to notice that Miss Sapphira's company seemed to be particularly agreeable to Mr. Ananias, and that during the winter term they often met in the library, where both seemed much interested in the books in the secluded alcoves. Not only did the students comment on the strange ways of the couple, but the librarian would often call the attention of some unobserving student to their peculiar actions. The learned doctor who-taught the German tongue began to complain to the other members of the Jerusalem Sanhedrim that the reception room at the Abode was used .later than it should be on calling nights, the Matron. began to complain that the rules were not observed and that some of the young gentlemen called on the young ladies much oftener than the rules would allow, and finally the Ladies' Conference Committee began to collect their scattered forces preparatory to drawing up a set of resolutions. As time went on Ananias would often accompany Sapphira on Saturdays to her father's vineyard at Bethany, returning A ro3 ' on the following Monday, or later. Thus the crisis approached, and the friends of the two young people began to see visions of ice-cream and pop-corn. . H One Wednesday afternoon in the summer term, a small row boat was resting on the placid waters of the brook Cedron. The oars were floating idly in the row-locks as the boat slowly drifted down the stream, while its two occupants, a young lady and a young gentleman, were engaged in earnest discussion.. On either side the broad green fields, spangled with flowers, stretched away from the quiet stream, while along the banks the fringe of trees cast aagrateful shade upon the water. It was a beautiful retreat, but neither the quiet stream, nor the broad fields, nor the Howers, nor the singing birds received any attention from the two people in the boat. Ananias and Sapphira were taking their nrst row on the Cedron and he was pleading with her to wear his society colors at the coming commencement. 1 The crisis finally came. The members of the Sad. U. C. Fraternity ate oranges and bananas, and offered congratu- lations to the smiling Ananias, the members of the Ladies S. S. fsewing society founded by Dorcasj partook of syllabub and strawberries, and showered their best wishes upon the blushing Sapphira. At Commencement, Ananias delivered a magnificent article on The Unsophisticated Sophistry of the Sophisticated Sophist, and Sapphira, in a more modest way, spoke on the ft Home as the Centre of Power. Thus the old, old story was ended. - . 16.l 104 if :L - .

THE GREAT GAME. y Q The Faculty eleven defeat the Anglo-Saxon eleven. Large attendance and much betting. Faculty win by a score of 4-o. I ' On Saturday afternoon the long expected football game between the Faculty eleven and the Anglo-Saxon eleven took place. The two teams lined up as follows : ' FACULTY. ANGLO-sAXoN. ROBERTS r. e.

Teddy kept the time, and Evans lugged the water. a tremendous kick sent the ball sailing high in the air toward Faculty team was now manifest, for Stet. reached up and pulled lined up for a scrimmage, the Faculty having the ball.

Ain IrightP Am I right P 'But while the full-back was collecting his data, the Anglo-Saxonsl had broken through the line. The full-back, seeing them coming, turned and sprinted for his-own goal, but was tackled by Sam on the twenty-yard line and downed. 'fWhy, my dear 'Fessah, cried Sam, you dioan know deaediments ob de game. De objic ob de game am to shobe de ball deoder way. You 'se not obtaining de dignity ob de faculty. Made a mistake, made a mis- take, yes I did, yes I did, puffed Santy. Second down, forty yards to gain. The ball was passed to Stetson, who tried to run around the right end but was tackled and downed by degrees, judiciously falling toward the opponents' goal, however, and thereby gaining some ten or Hfteen yards. Third down, twenty-five yards to gain. The ball was passed to Santy for a kick. Well, well, well , yes, yes, yes. What shall I do? What shall I do P Upon hearing this soliloquy Dutchy rushed frantically toward the full-back, shaking his fist and exclaiming Vy, Herr Professor, Vy don't you kick P Yes, yes, I see, I see, said Santy, and willing to obey orders, but completely bewildered, he tried to kick the ball but missed it, and instead kicked the fiery guard a blow, the momentum of which, computed by multiplying the mass by the velocity, must have been enormous. - The Anglo-Saxons got the ball and steadily advanced it. On the second down the ball was passed to Curtis and he was sent at the line, but Stetson reached over and tackled him. Curtis tried to crawl along after he was down, but Billy promptly sat on him, remarking Aw, now, Mr. Curtis, we 'don't want any baby play here. That 'll do, thanks. Thus the game went on. Neither side was able to make any great gain and the half ended with the score o - o. During the intermission Dutchy, coming up to Prof. Foster, said: Vell, Professor, dis vas a great game. 'f Ah yes, said the Professor, I remember that Demosthenes, in his famous oration against Agonistomachus, standing before that vast multitude of Athenians, said: 'Tiveg',MBpoL olde oi 1911171-of eZcrw,' and I think that remark will apply to those playing this barbarous game. p 1 Ready, Anglo-Saxons P Yep. - Ready, Faculty P I think we are quite prepared to make a second test of our physical powers 3 and the game would have gone on, but right here there was a sharp dispute between Rob and Dutchy, as to which one of them was the star kicker of the Faculty team. Finally the Faculty unanimously decided in favor of Dutchy. With an expression of grim determination, Dutchy stepped up to the ball, and kicked it with tremendous force, sending it high up in the air, but it fell just where it started from. Cosine picked it up and described a parallelopipedon I 108 down the Held. On the next down Rob tried to get into the interference, but the whole Anglo-Saxon eleven was laying for him and he was buried deep -under a heap of arms and legs. When the mass was disentangled Rob looked pale, and called for water. Only a slight heart trouble, said Dr. Hill, f'he'll be all right in a few minutes. U Oh! poor man, said Judy and Whiskers in concert, ff that terrible heart trouble. H If you would allowiany suggestions from a layman, said Dr. Pepper,H' I would recommend Balm of Gilead for this case. The mere mention of the remedy instantly revived the injured player, and the game was resumed. I The Anglo-Saxons again got the ball and steadily advanced it. They were within a yard of Faculty's goal when Rob got the ball on a fumble, dashed through the S-axons, hurling them in every direction, and sprinted down the Held and over the goal line. ' The touchdown was made only a second before time was called, and with Sam's scornful remark: 'f Dem Andrew Jacksons doan know how to play marbles, the game was ended. rrwfilfwr-f The Pacrultg.

I have approachedionly to the shores of the great ocean of knowledge, and have gathered but a few pebbles on the sand. - Sin I. INEXVTON. ERY frequently a question was asked as to how I liked Psychology and Ethics, and I always answered simply that I liked them very much. Now the publishing committee of the ORACLE put to me the same question and requested me to give the answer in writing. Talk little, write less is my working maxim, which I find must be modified a little for the present. Many said these studies were the nicest they had ever taken. To confess the truth, I was one of them, for to me there is nothing more interesting than the voyage on the ocean of knowledge, and in this ocean no place is preferable to that part of Metaphysics, deep and vast. I believe all who have taken them enjoyed them, even those who murmured that these studies were hard, perhaps because they had so little time to prepare, while they had so many articles to write, and even the one who said it was foolish to study mental and moral science, liked them because they could enjoy the bountiful gift of an occasional cut while the great questioners occupied half, of the time questioning, and because they had very little to recite. Many were delighted to imagine a man jumping one hundred feet high, and a cat thirty feet tall 5 and to hear from a necessitarian thinker that it was by chance he turns towards Silver street whenever he goes to take a walk. Again, all listened with great interest to an evolutionist who desired to be transformed into an angel. On the whole, every one enjoyed the studies, yet each from a different point of view. This may not be wondered at, for the Very fact itself is psychological. . I-Iowever enjoyable the studies were, and though they were well taught by our learned and able President, we cannot say that we were perfectly free from difficulties. Perhaps this was because the very nature of the studies is such that no two student thinkers can entirely agree with each other in details, at least at the present stage of our knowledge. ' III Time is never too long except when one is waiting for something. Only ten weeks for such a big study, saying noth- ing about the regular Monday cut, and every other week regular vacation ! If we had had more time we should have neither left inany difficult questions untouched nor postponed eternally the niost interesting and important questions. ,Nay, it was well to have them left, for the discovery of truth by one's self is pleasanter than by the teachings of others. Friends, sailors on the ocean of knowledge, let us sail on. The dominion is free to all. But be not contented, for we have seen but a little, while before us lies the boundless deep ocean, beyond which, far away lies the land of Hope. May each of us be a Columbus oi this great ocean.

That day the white-winged lawyers, A very gallant band, Played football with the Medios, The bravest of the land. They fought from noon till sunset, And at the close of day The Dutchman gave the signal To stop the wild affray. Oh weep, ye white-robed maidens, And turn ye from the sight, For now the blood-red banner Floats high above the white. II3 HE The Coptoiris Smile. .... XX Pl PASTEL IN PROSE.

UPITER, it 's a wonderful age we look upon now. It 's marvellous the way in which men and women of this nineteenth century are dealing with the problems of life. Here in this college there are curious facts,,curious. I have not staid up here on this high pedestal all these years for naught. In the most commanding position in the library for viewing men and women, I get deeply interested in some of these familiar faces. Did you ever watch that slight young fellow, with the ministerial coat and sanctimonious face? Been here three years now. Wears nose glasses, attached to a string. I-Ie comes in every morning in the week, attends strictly to business 5 there 's not an alcove in the library that he does not work in. I-Ie 's right at the heart of the matter. I-Ie never looks up, his head is always bent over his work. I understand he 's studying out a sociological problem : 'f Is it good for man to live alone ? That young woman who is always beside him, the one with the flushed face, is his assistant, I believe. She is thoroughly in sympathy with his work. jupiter, there are powers at work in this world greater than you or I ever dreamed of. For instance, you never could have taken the man who occupies the big chair just behind me, and smoothed out at the same time his hair, his clothes, and his temper with all your thunderbolts, and yet this has been done. You ask how? I can't tell you. There 's a young man comes in here sometimes that I like i the looks of. I-Ie has a smart walk, a frank, open face, and carries his head very effectively on one side. Sometimes he looks very careworn Qespecially Saturday morningsj, which shows he is working on a great problem. I-Ie is the man who studied the collegiate problem so hard last year. He felt that greater interest was often taken in some sister college than our own. This thought greatly depressed the heart of the young man, whose own love was centered here, and he entered with his whole being into the question, worked day and 118 night upon it, and has succeeded in winning at least one to his way of thinking. His devotion to the cause is unparalleled and he says that he drew all of his inspiration from a work entitled,- The Expulsive Power of a New Affection. But, there, jupiter, I 'ni getting sleepy, good night. And yet there 's one thing I want to ask you. What do you think of a man, like the author of that immortal elegy, devoting himself to Politics? I hear he is fairly fascinated with the Wilsonlquestion. You remember we used to hear the professors talk about that.2QGood night. i a niaie eifaroia MQ. f f 0255 X THERE was a little man, And The had a little heart.

' I-I E following is an accurate account of na characteristic chapel meeting, held during the past winter. Our readers may not remember all of the incidents mentioned, but we defy any one to prove that they did not occur. After chapel exercises, President Whitman read the following notices: There will be a meeting of the Amalga- mated Association immediately after chapel. f' A meeting of the Senior class is desired. The ladies of the Freshman class are requested to remain for a few moments after chapel. , All those who sympathize with the Republican party are requested to remain after chapel. QSubdued stampingj A meeting of the gentlemen of '96 is desired. ft The members of the Women's College will please remain a few momentsfl A meeting of the Football Association is called. There will be a meeting of the entire student body after chapelf' Great Scott ! I should think there would, ejaculated a Freshman. ' At this point President Whitman paused and said, As I am obliged to leave town on the ten o'clock train, I shall be unable to read the remaining notices until I return next week. No doubt you can adjust this matter satisfactorily. All who are not concerned in any of these announcements are at liberty to retire. The students seemed to feel very well satisfied with the number of notices that had been read. The Seniors and juniors, especially, appeared very anxious that the president should not lose his train. The student body mostly remained in its seats, though a few of those disagreeable people who never will do anything when they are asked, and a few fellows who had n't paid their football dues, succeeded in getting out. Meanwhile, there was a brief but fierce struggle between the persons who had called the various meetings, and then the victorious Manager of the Amalgamated Association extricated himself from the melee and advanced to the front of the 120 room. He gently shoved out the President and the one and a half members of the Facultyt who had attended chapel, violently pulled back some escaping Freshmen, and proceeded to call the meeting to order. , A man who had succeeded in Ending out what association was having a meeting, moved to pass over the reading of the records. Then the manager announced that the Hrst business was to consider the question of revising the constitution. He said that there was a little lofoseness about some parts of the constitution, and that the Amalgamated Association always made it a point to do things in a strict, business-like manner. The manager did n't have the constitution with him, but he had no doubt that the secretary had it. At this point a question arose as to who was secretary. The manager thought Mr. B. was secretary, but Mr. B. indignantly denied it and declared that Mr., M. was the culprit. Mr. M. could n't remember at Hrst, but finally decided that his was another association. Mr. R. thought he was secretary himself, but the manager would n't hear of it for a moment. Finally the matter was settled by making Mr. S. secretary, pro fem. ' But now, said the manager, ff where is the constitution ? . After a long silence, a Senior co-ord timidly confessed that she thought there was a copy of the constitution of the Amalgamated Association in the book she was taking her history notes in. The constitution being thus discovered, some one moved that a commmittee of three be appointed to revise it. The motion was carried and the manager proceeded to appoint sixteen persons in succession, each of whom resigned. Finally, by the promise of a quarter apiece, he succeeded in inducing three of them to serve. At this point a Senior co-ord timidly asked, Please, may the Freshman girls be excused? They have a recitation. The manager said yes, and the Freshman girls filed out, followed by a number of persons who had never been taken for Freshman girls before. i A ' The next business was the election of a treasurer. The manager announced that the lowest bids for that office were those of Foss of the junior class and Gerry of the Freshman class. The bids were respectively, hfty dollars, and forty-nine dollars and fifty cents. It was decided to ballot on these two names. Intense excitement at once arose in the junior and Freshman seats, while Gerry sighed for the lost Freshman girls. Everybody prepared at least one ballot, and Foss prepared three. A junior co-ord was heard to ask, f' How do you spell ' Gerry ' P 3' Stetson and Evans. I2I lnclignant chorus of junior girls : F- O - S- Sf' While the ballots were being collected, the candidates reposed breathless in the arms of their friends. At last the secretary pro fem. announced the result as follows : Whole number of votes cast, 125 : Foss, 63 3 Gerry, 62. Foss heaved a sigh of relief. Won't I be Hush this spring I he murmured. There being no other business, the meeting of the Amalgamated Association was declared adjourned. Immediately the other managers, class presidents, etc., made a rush for the front of the room, and the fight for Hrst place was renewed. But when the conliict was over the students had all left the chapel, and the managers and class presidents could only do the same. I22 ln the Lroloorotorg. J. EEXPERIMENT 69. DIssoLVE ARGENTTC CHLORID TN AMMONIC Hx'DRATi2, AND RE-PREciP1'rA'rE 11' WITH NITRIC Ac:iD.j R. Potassic Chlorid was hurrying along the shelf, all out of breath, and looking as if the cares of the whole laboratory rested upon his shoulders. His face was even paler than usual as he knocked at the stopper of the commodious bottle bearing the sign, Dr. Nitric Acid, and inquired if the Doctor was at home. Dr. Nitric Acid was one of the best-known physicians in that part of the laboratory. He was not very large in body, but strong and active. His chief fault was a slight lack of stability, and a tendency to fly all to pieces on slight provocation. At such times the language he used was likely to discolor the air very perceptibly. l 'fWell, said the Doctor, ff what can I do for youu? C, Doctor ! ejaculated Mr. Chlorid, my little boy, Argentic, has been attacked by that horrible fellow, Hydrate, and used so roughly that the poor boy is dissolved in tears, and nothing We can do will stop it, if it keeps on much longer I'm afraid' there'll be nothing left of him. 'f Well, well, said the Doctor, which of the Hydrates was it ? UAl1I111OHlC Hydrate, his name is, answered the injured father. U And what did your boy do to provoke himn? 'f Why, Argy only said the fellow was full of gas, and had nothing solid about him, and Hydrate got mad and declared he'd dissolve him. - , 123 Well, well, said the Doctor, you wait till I get hold of him, I 'll go for him, I'll neutralize him, and I'll fix your boy all right, too. Those Hydrates are a rascally family. I never could get along with them any way, and none of the Acids can. My brother, I-Iydrochloric, got to fighting with one of them the other day, Sodic Hydrate, his name was, and used him so roughly that there was nothing left of him but a little salt and water. They love to make themselves disagreeable, too. Why the other day one of them went into the bottle where the Litmuses live and made them feel so badly that it took all the color out of their cheeks, and left the whole family as blue as could bel' By this time the Doctor and his companion were walking along the shelf toward the test-tube, where the injured boy lay. Mr. Chlorid was much reassured by Dr. Acid's promises, and as they walked along he inquired after the Doctor's health. , Oh, I'm doing very well, answered the Doctor, though I've noticed that my breath smells rather bad. I'm afraid I sometimes eat things that don't agree with me. Besides, I've been studying very hard for my degree. mWhich degree is it you 're after, asked Mr. Chlorid, Aq., or Conc., or C. I3'. ? Aq., repeated the Doctor scornfully, I got by that long ago. Only men of second-rate power have anything to do with that. I'm entitled to a 'Concf now, but I'm working for C. P. However, I'm afraid I shall have to work till I'm as pale and expressionless as most C. Pfs are, before I get it. f'By the way, said the Doctor, after a pause, 'f what has become of your great-uncle, Chlorine, now? I-Ie used to be so active and energetic that it seems strange not to . Ah, poor man l answered Mr. Chlorid, you remember be so dangerous that we have to keep him locked up now. Why, what did he do ? ' f' Well, he met Mr. Hydrogen on the shelf one dayland inflammable Mr. Hydrogen is. VVell, it was a very warm day tliyey both fired up all of a .sudden and had a terrible row, would n't do to leave Uncle Chlorine at large any longer. 124 1 see him around. he was a little unsettled in his mind 5 well, he got to they got into trouble somehow. You remember how and I suppose the heat went to their heads, any way and it created such a commotion that we thought it By this time they had reached the test-tube where the encounter between Annnonic Hydrate and little Argentic Chlorid had taken place, and where it had been thought best to leave the boy until the Doctor came. Dr. Nitric was as good as his word. He pitched into Annnonie Hydrate, who was still hanging around, and drove him coni- pletely away, and little Argentic was soon restored to his former health and strength. n MQW 125 1 Pl Sleepg Song.

This thrilling story reads like a chapter out bf the lives of the authors. It shows the thorough familiarity with the subject, which only personal experience could give. At the same time there is a sort of freshness about it that is truly delightful. The public should be grateful to those friends of Mr. Holmes and Mr. Austin who have succeeded in inducing them to relate the thrilling scenes in which they have been actors, and which their 7lL0H76.YQ' long prompted them to conceal.
