prising Array OF Presents For 1t.


prisinE Array of Presents For 1t.
when l was q medical student in
the University of Pennsylvania, said
the doctor, the boys celebrated IN in
teresting event in the domestic life Of
one Of the professors in a unique way.
The news that the favorite professor
was 4 happy father reached the students
on Thursday morning, and that after
noon and evening there We're %consulta-
tons held all over the university build
ings, and sundry dimes and quarters
were collected by W. or three of the
students, who constituted a sort of
finance committee. Every Friday morn
ing the professor gave Il lecture to the
students in the amphitheater. The sub
ject for the lecture that week was The
Relation Of the Sympathetic Nervous
System to the Nerve Centers Of the
Brain, and half an hour before the
time set for the lecture every nan in
the class, which numbered about $50,
was In his place waiting for the fun TO
begin and glancing nov and then TO-
ward the three long operating tables in
the center of the room.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the door
opened and the favorite professor enter
ed the amphitheater. He carefully closed
the door behind him, then with a self
conscious clearing of his throat turned
toward the class. AT the first glance his
law fell. while every one of the $50
fends in the seats above began TO yell
at the top of his lungs. Spread out upon
the three long operating tables were
about $50 baby's toys and furnishings
of every kind and description. There
were rattles by the dozen, Noah's arks,
dolls Of all sizes, q toy cooking stove.
a baby carriage, an embroidered flannel
p~etticoat, a nursing bottle lying in a
graduated glass, a pair of little blue kid
shoes and other things too numerous to
mention. After the first shock Of sur
prise and embarrassment, the professor
was game. He thanked US, in a speech
peppered with five syllabled words, for
our thoughtfulness in thus providing
for the future needs of his offspring,
but he observed, after a careful exami-
nation of the various instruments of in
fantile delight spread out before him.
that we had forgotten one thing, a bot
tie of ~paregoric. Then he yawned in a
way suggestive Of midnight vigils and
turned his attention to The Relation Of
the Sympathetic Nervous System to the
Nerve Cen+erS of the Brain.
But he was not allowed to proceed
beyond the first sentence or two. His
attention was drawn to the blackboard,
where some student of artistic tenden-
cies had drawn an deliberately decorated
design in red. white and blue chalk,
Is Marriage a Failure?' Thepoor pro-
fessor. seeing that there vas no posi-
bility of a serious lecture that morning,
entertained Us for about ten minutes on
the text posted on the blackboard; then,
after inviting US all to visit the new

marched off to the music Of $50 voices
