Gbe minetp anb mine Rake a 1bolibaQ NE day when the sky was that glorious blue that Tennyson Likens to the Mayhue, we decided to take a trip to the Black- forest, facetiously named the Coal grove. We had consulted our Cal- lender, and found a forecast of Fairweather, and having despatched our Lackey to the Mayor for a Grant to pass the day in his Parks, our leader said, L'Allin line, and we set out, our Piper going ahead, that the way might be made pleasant, and our hearts light with music. The Baker followed with Bacon and other substantials to be prepared when our Smyth had set up the camp stove. Having heard of a great Dun bear in the neighborhood, we sent forward our lighter, the Sullivan of the band, accompanied by a Warner to guard us from the dangers of the forest. Our path led us by the River, where the banks were strewn with sweet Williams, while the VVoods were White with many a May Blossom. When the first shadows of evening warned us to be R. E. Turners, we set out for home, beguiling the way with stories of the bravery of Hermann and the sea fights of Blake, and selections from the drama of Schiller and the poetry of Burns. The memory of such a delightful day was so inspiring that some of the light-hearted members were inclined to Crow all the way home, of the successes of The Ninety and Nine. And it was decided that the scribe should put the account in the records of our class, Soher fame should live forever.

Che IDIUSICD Stubent EAR the close of last term a patient from the country came to the college for a denture, and, as is usual in such cases, wanted it in 'a great hurry. Our genial Dr. D-d-l undertook the task, and with that obliging disposition which is one of his most charming qualities, volunteered to expedite matters by yulcanizing the case that evening at home. So the materials were hurriedly handed out by the lynx- eyed colonel, who never makes mistakes. By II o'clock that night the denture was in the vulcanizer, and the gas turned on. At 1 A. M., breathless with expectation, the doctor opened the flask, and tenderly removed the first-fruits of his dental career. Exquisite in design and perfect in symmetry it wasg but, oh, horror ! the plate was flexible. Feeling sure that he had opened the vulcanizer too soon, and determined not to disappoint his patient, he refreshed himself with an amber-colored fluid, started a fresh cigar, and again lighted the vulcanizing tires. This time he determined to do the business so thoroughly that there should be no possibility of failure. But at 5 A. M., when the tiask was opened, the obstinate plate was as flexible as ever. There are natures that difficulties do not discourage, but only arouse to fresh exertion. That obstinate plate had a still more obstinate man to deal with it, Again was the unhappy denture refiasked, with many a potent incantation known to students of dental lore, and once again was it consigned to the Hres of Vulcan. But at 9 A. M., when the time for college had arrived, that depraved plate was, if anything, limberer than ever. He hied him to college, and asked certain Seniors for information. These wise men gravely looked it over, and learnedlylinformed him that he must vulcanize it about half an hour longer. But Dr. Noble, coming in just then, smilingly informed him that there was such a thing as soft rubber that heat would not harden, and he had got some of it by mistake. The colonel looked very thoughtful all that day. 77
