my knife," "No, l amt" '"Pon yer
word?" "Pou me word" "Pon yer
SOUL" "Pon me SOUL" "Hope you
may die if you haves' "Hope l may
die if l have" "You amt got my
knife," II amt got your knife" The
querist seemed to be still incredulous,
but was on the point Of giving it up in
despair. when bright idea occurred to
him and he returned to the attack with:
'Pon yer honor!" "Oh," said the other,
snow you touch me honor, take youi
DANCED old knife" and he handed the
article over. "Well done, Bill, said the

adhering to ideas of examinations which

ment requires every student during the last
two weeks of her course to pass examination
on all the studies which have been pursued
during the entire four years. Biennial ex-
admissions were very fatiguing for men in

able by the faculty of Yale. The greater ex-
