NEWS FROM HERE AND THERE.

Christmas.-Christmas time! That man must be a misanthrop, indeed, in whose breast something like a jovial feeling is not aroused-in whose mind some pleasant associations are not awakened-by the recurrance of Christmas. There are people who will tell you that Christmas is not to them what it used to bethat each succeeding Christmas has found some cherished hope or happy prospect of the year before dimmed or passed away, and that the present only serves to remind them of reduced circumstances, and straitened

incomes-of the feasts they once bestowed on hollow friends, and of the cold looks that meet them now, in adversity and misfortune. Never heed such dismal reminiscences. There are few men who have lived long enough in the world, who cannot call up such thoughts any day in the year. Then do not select the merriest of the three hundred and sixty-five for your doleful recollections.-[Sketches by Boz.

Statistics of the South.-That the South is a prosperous and rapidly developing division of our great Republic is freely conceded. That it is an independent and self-sustaining section is not so generally admitted yet such seems to be the case. Statistics in finance, agriculture, manufactures and commerce go far to confirm this as a fact.

In the decade between 1896 and 1905 bank deposits in the South increased 246%, or almost double the gain of the East in the same period. In 1906, the banks of the Nation had $6,400,000,000 more in deposits than in 1896. Of this amount the South contributed more than one-third. In the year 1905, the increase in deposits over the preceding year was $128,652,898! This almost equalled the gain shown in the four years between 1896 and 1900, when the total was $153,358,329. In manufactures her gain has been noteworthy. Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas are the great manufacturing States of the South, and twenty years ago enjoyed an aggregate invested capital of $117,000,000. In 1900, this had increased to $572,000,000. 1889, manufactured products from these States totalled only $221,000,000; in 1900, $733,000,000. When the figures for 1906 are computed the valuation is expected to reach the $1,000,000,000 mark!

Nor is this all. Agriculture has always done much for the "land of cotton," but in recent years farm products and property have shown immense increases. The valuation of farm property in 1890 was $1,347 000,000 more than a decade earlier. Diversity, also, marks its agricultural yield. The annual production of corn exceeds 500,000,000 bushels; rice, 200,000,000 pounds; butter, over 200,000,000 pounds, and cotton, last year, 13,000,000 bales. Poultry exceeds $25,000,000 annually, and eggs approximate another $20,000,000. In farm acreage a surprising improvement is shown. In 1880, this was tabulated at 78,082,484 acres; in 1890, 98,663,008 acres, and in 1900, 107,753,679 acres. Such

returns are marvelous and magnificent.-[Boston Financial News.

Instruction Was Resumed on Friday, October 19, with large classes, the registration being considerably over a hundred pupils.

The Advanced Class in Chemistry, contains two ladies among its members. There are six ladies in the regular junior and two ladies in the regular senior

courses.

The Twenty-first Session of this college opened October 18. Dr. Albert P. Sy delivered the principal address, his subject being "The New Advanced Course in Chemistry," which was prefaced by timely advice of the new classes.

Dr. Gregory, dean of the faculty, followed, with some remarks on the strenuous efforts pharmacy is making to establish itself as a profession, and cited as evidence the mass of pharmacal literature, the system of pharmacal education and the more or less observed standard of ethics. These efforts crystallized into law beginning in New York State in 1884.

In Accordance With the Agreement made at the conference of faculties of the pharmacal schools of this state at Niagara Falls in June to have the next college course consist of nine hundred hours and the following one of one thousand hours, the faculty have recently decided to make next year's course in this college one thousand hours, one year in advance of the New York State standard.

Multiply by 2-22; add 5-27; multiply by 50-1350; add the age, 13-1363; subtract 365-998; add 115-1113. Tell her her age is 13 and November her birth month. This test is good up to 100. For ages under 10 a cipher will occur in the result, but don't take any account of it.
