INSTRUCTIONS IN PHARMACY.
The Project for New Department II
 the Yale Medical school.

Since a committee was appointed at the last annual meeting of the Connecticut Pharmaceutical association to agitate the project for adding department of phar- macy to the medical school of Yale univer- sity, nothing has been done. The commit tee has not even held meeting, and, as Druggist Wilcox of Waterbury, the secre- tary, is away for the summer, it is prob able that no move will be made before September. The great objection is that it will take a good deal of money to put the project through. New Haven druggists do not feel able to pay all the money need contributingas they think New Haven will get all the benefit from the school. One great benefit to the stores in New Haven would be that clerks could attend the school without giving up their positions in the stores

The Rev Father O'Donnell spoke upon scandal at the church of the Immaculate Conception yesterday morning. The reverend gentleman took for his text :: "He that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that millstone were hang ed about his neck and that he were drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandal. For it must needs be that scandals come never theless woe to that man by whom scandal cometh. ."-Matthew 1S-6 Father O'Donnell's remarks were we'll taken. He cautioned young women to beware of societies where faith and morals were in danger

Red Hair.

The prejudice against red hair Is both apcient and widespread. For centuries the popular mind throughout Europe has associated hair of this unlucky color with untrustworthiness and deceit. An old Latin "Collection of Proverbs" 7" by Henry Bebel. published in Germany in 1512, has the following: "Rara breves are the short, and untrustworthy the red-haired) The 1talians have a milder saying; "Capelli yossi. tutto tutto mosol." (Red hair, either all fire or all softness.) There Is an old French say ing. dating from the Seventeenth cen tury. which says: Salute a red-haired man or bearded woman at thirty feet of with three stones in thy fist to defend thee In thy need.
 The same sentiment of dislike and dis- trust Is found continually cropping up in t; together 1f' with sebuke. Writers 1 on vul- gaf eyrors occasionally denounced the prejudice, and 0 Gascon writer and sol- dier of the seventh century, Cyrano de Bergerao, the author of various humor- ouS and satiricsl pieces boldly praised work on the "States and Empires of the Sun" wae translated into English, and in 1t he says, "A brave head covered with red hair Is nothing else but the sun in the midst of hie rays. yet many speak i'll of 1t, because few have the honor to be so. !" And. again, that faxen hair betokens f1cklenees, and black obstinacy; but be- tween both, he says, is the medium. "Where wisdom in favor of red-haired men hath lodged virtue, so their flesh Is much more delicate, their blood more pure. their spirits more clarified, and, consequently, their intellect more accom- plished, because of the mixture of the four qualities.

Hanging Doors and blinds.

In hanging q number of doors which
arc of the same size, tho timo cxpcnd,
ed upon measuring the correct posi-
ton of the hinges may be, according
to The California Architect and Build,
ers' News, saved in a very simple man
ncr, which is as follows: Take lath
and mark upon the top and bottom the
exact position where the hinges should
come, drive in at these marks sharp
pointed brads, and you have gauge
which may be used in hanging all
doors of the same size. In using it,
all that is necessary is to place ii
against the edge of the door with the
top of the lath on the level with the
top of the door, give it sharp tap of
the hand, when the brads will mark
tho exact position of tho hinges. The
same gauge lath may be used in mark
ing out the position of the hinges of
the stile of tho door frame, excepting
that q nail should be driven in the
bottom of it, SO that there may be suf-
ficient room left at the bottom to allow
proper play at tho door. The use OF
q gauge lath in tho case referred to is
an example of its use. It is of equal
utility in hanging many other pieces,
such, for instance, as inside and out
side blinds, shutters, etc.

The Horse and the owner.

A writer says that the names that a
man gives his horses indicate his own
character. We expect that that is true
to some degree at least, The horse is
a pretty good index to the owners
character anyhow. Look at a mans
horse and you can tell what man is
pretty certainly. A lazy team indicates
lazy man, tor an active man will not
put mp with lazy team. A team Of
poor horses--principally ribs and hide
lis usually owned by man as poor
in flesh as his horses are and he is very
apt to be as mean as they look. No.
body, we verify believe, ever saw a
we'll fed, neat and feshy man driving a
skeleton team. AS is the man so are
his horses, and we expect that the
owner carries the similarity even to the
extent Of naming his animals. though
as to that we confess that we have
never taken notice.

Automatic Spelling.

An American writer expresses the
hope that, before tho typewriter is
many years older, some inventive ge-
MUS will have been able to compass
the problem how TO give it some sort
of dictionary attachment, which will
enable it TO spell better than it does at
present. Our transatlantic contempo-
rary is quite right. The typewriter is
telltalc instrument. Itconceals moth
ing. 1t is in that respect very unlike
the pen, and especially the quill pen,
the breadth of whose stroke, like char
ity, covers u multitude of sins-in Or
biography. Speaking generally, every
body who is not u good spcllcr should
write with as broad u nib as possible
If it is even little fluffy at the point
why, SO much the better. The great
thing, Of course, is to write as vaguely
as may bc-to leave rs much as may
be to the imagination. Our contcm-
porary raises the important question
of ''ie'' and "ci," of 'ible" and ''ablc. y"
How often an uncertainty in regard
to these two combinations is got
over by the simple addition of
q little more obscurity to the
unintelligibility of ones handwrit-
ing! 1t is, indeed, whispered that
there arc people who actually cultivate
a rather blurred caligaphy in order
to disguise an photographic weakness
which would otherwise be only too APP
parent. The typewriter, it is clear,
must be avoided by such pcrsons-un-
less, indeed, the suggested attachment
can DO made. And then, conceive the
popularity of the machine-imaginc
the run upon it, its almost universal
adoption. or course, the thoroughly
cdacatcd person always spells correct
ly, but how many are thoroughly cd
ucated, or, if they ever were SO, have
been able TO retain their acquirements1

Hints About Shaving.

The moment you leave your bed Cor
bath) is the best time to shave.
Never use warm water, which makes
the face (pf shavers) tender.
A piece of soft plate leather should
always be kept with razors to wipe them
with.
In cold weather place your razor
CLOSED of course) in your pocket OF un
der your arm to warm it.
Always wipe your razor clean and
strop it before putting it away; and al
ways put your shaving brush away with
the lather on it.
If you only once put away your razor
without stropping it, or otherwise per-
fectly cleaning the edge, you must no
longer expect to shave well and easy,
the soap and damp so soon rust the fine
teeth and edge.
The razor, being only line saw,
should be moved in sloping or saving
direction, and held nearly fiat to the
face, care being taken to draw the skin
as tight as possible with the left hand
SO as to present an even surface and
throw out the beard.
The practice of pressing on the edge
of the razor in stopping it soon rounds
it; the pressure should be directed to
the back which should never be raised
from the strop. If you shave from heel
to point of razor, strop it from point to
heel; but if you begin with the point
in shaving, then strop it from heel to
point.
