Some Fine Paintings.

Mr.. Cyrus K. Davis went to Biddeford
yesterday to examine some old pictures
belonging to the freeman family that
were found in the effects of DIR. Free
man, who died suddenly recently at
Minneapolis How, or where, Dr. Free
man procured them, Mr.. Davis was I'M
able to ascertain. Two were NEUROLOGICAL
subjects. One in particular, showed high
art. The back bore the name of Martin
De Nos. While begrimed with dirt and
lack of care it was easy to see that both
coloring and drawing were those of a
master. This picture was painting of
still life. In a corner was brazier bear
ing lighted fagots. On table stood an
old queerly fashioned tankard. A loaf of
bread and some other articles, while the
face of cat peered out from behind the
tank ard. Mr.. Davis hopes to obtain the
chance to exhibit the pictures in Portland
after they have been cleansed and
mounted.

A FORM Err PoRTLANDER.
Has Attained Large Wealth and Much
Honor Abroad.

Mr.. Harry B. Brown, the artist, who
has been spending long time abroad
and who is now on visit home, gives
very interesting account of a former
Portland resident, DIR. Quimby, who
practiced dentistry here for number of
years. Drs Coffin and Quimby were both
students with DR.. Elbridge Bacon, and,
after some years practice in Portland,
learning chat American dentists took
precedence over all others abroad, they
sailed for England where they established
themselves as firm for the pursuit of
their profession. Later the partnership
was dissolved, and DR.. Coffin remaining
in London, and DR.. Quimby removing to
Liverpool
Mr.. Brown says DR.. Quimby has an
elegant residence in Liverpool and his
business is very extensive. He is about
to retire from practice. His dentistry
establishment occupies three floors of a
large building and consists of himslef,
his brother Melville and his two nephews,
the younger one having just passed his
examination as dentist and received his
diploma There is also book-keeper and
several clerks to look after the business
end, while the doctors look after the
mechanical part. In the doctors house
are fine examples of all the leading
modern artists, and Mr. Brown was
naturally much pleased to find one of his
paintings of White Head enjoying COM
manding position. By invitation of DR..
Quimby Mr. Brown took long tour
through Ireland with him in May, and

The RACQUET.

The last number of the Racquet for
the year has been issued. Principal
Chase, on "The School as a Whole, y
says the class of 49, PHI s., has enrolled
the largest number of pupils in the
schools history "The scholarship of
the school has suffered from these large
numbers, the many could not receive
the personal attention that the few
would have, nor can the many who have
sincere desire to learn over balance a
few who come for no decided purpose
nor does youth know how to devote it.
self to the pursuit of several things with
an even division of time, OR thought
Furthermore, unless more care in their
mental work is exercised by those who
are especially interested in athletics it
may become necessary to Danish athletics
from the school or to Danish those who
pursue the present good to the detriment
of future comfort The outcome of the
athletics has not been such as to prove
that the time devoted to them is as well
spent as the time devoted to mental dis
cipline." He also says there has been
an evident increase of desire upon the
part of the pupils to acquire knowledge.
The words and music, as written by
Malcolm E. Nichols, have been accepted
as the 50 class song.

A circular has been issued from the
Maine State College, announcing the be-
ginning of regular course of pharmacy at
the opening of the fall term on the 4th
of next September. There will be two
courses, the long course of four years and
the short course of two years. These
are, of course, the first college courses of
pharmacy in this state. The long course
will be one of the only three such in the
entire country. One Of these is at the
University of Michigan. We are not in
formed as to where the other one is. In
the long courselof pharmacy at the Maine
State College, it is intended to furnish
both a broad and scientific education
and the best preparation for the profess
sion of pharmacist The requirements
for admission are arithmetic algebra, in
Guiding quadratics, and the PROFESSIONS,

history, English grammar, English litera.
ture. Examinations for admission are
held at the college, and in each county Of
the state, if desired. Certificates Of fit.
ness, on blanks furnished by the college,
are accepted from approved schools.
For the first year, the course will be
identical with other courses, including
mathematics, English, modern lang
uages, history, chemistry, botany, and
drawing, studies which are intended tc
serve as a foundation for the latter work
Of the course.
For the second year, the course will be
identical with the chemical course includ
ing modern languages, advanced chemis
try, physics, cryptogmic botany, and lab
oratory work in qualitative and quantita
tive chemistry, and in physics
For the third and fourth years the
course will include some studies of a gen
eral nature such as philosophy, politica
economy, history and English literature
but will consist chiefly of studies having
a direct bearing upon the practice Of
pharmacy, such as advanced and organic
chemistry, toxicology, urine analysis,
volumetric and gravimetric quantitative
analysis, the assay of drugs the prepare.
ton and purifying of organic and inor.
ganic chemicals, phamracognosy, pharma.
copael preparations, materia medica,
pharmacology, therapeutics, etc.
The short course of two years is similar
to that found in most schools of pharma-
cy. It is intended for those who wish
to obtain a professional training in the
shortest time
A wear apo aft the annual meeting of
the Maine Pharmaceutical Association,

"Whats better for growing boy
than the Fourth of July?"
A Nazareth waist, to be sure.
"Why?"
Because the Fourth of July is only one
day in the 365.
But a Nazareth Waist is for one hun
dred days of the 1855. So Nazareth waist
is one hundred times better than Fourth
of July. That's logic, isn't it?
