GRAVY AND HAIR OIL AT A COLLEGE. "A
good religious college at Lansing, Michigan, was
blessed with wide circle OF female friends
among the denomination which it represented.
One year the ladies in thriving town where
the college was very popular, thought 1t would
be kind act to send the senior class a box OF
good things for Thanksgiving. They prepared
lot of mince and pumpkin pies, frosted cake,
cold roast turkeys and other dainties and IN
order that the turkeys might 60 off smoothly,
they put in the box bottle OF rich, savory era
Wy. 1t was not labeled, and the bottle contain
ing it was very much like those in which lavo
rite kind OF hair oil is exposed for sale on the
tempting shelves Of fancy good stores.
When the box was opened at the college and
the joyful feast disclosed to view, the Senior
class were bishly delighted. That Thanksglv-
ing dinner was the happiest for many year,
with one little exception, and this was more
comical than melancholy. Three or four OF the
OF course, the benevolent ladies had them in
view in sending present of Lair OIL and they
slyly carried off the bottle, and in their own
rooms made faithful application of gravy to
their heads! The sickness of the supposed
hair oil soon aroused wonder; but it was some
time before the Seniors knew that they had
made wrong use OF table luxury. The joke
soon spread through tho college, aud at last
reached the ears of the donors of the box. At
Christmas, therefore, the same generous heart.
ed ladies made ready another box of good
things, and forwarded it to tho same college.
Taking hint from the previous blunder,
and believing that perhaps it was necessary or
the Seniors that their heads should be iash;ona-
by amounted, the kind ladies' put in the second
box bottle of real hair oil. The bottle, like
its predecessor containing gravy, bore no label,
and some of the unlucky Seniors determined to
make no mistake this time, poured the contents
literally over their plates ct dinner, without
stopping to taste or smell. The odor OF berga-
mot or cinnamon did not once undecivc them
They imagined the hair oil to be, perhaps, an
elegant new French dressing tor cold meats
and swallowed their food with few quams,
but with the hearty appetites of youth.
