Dartmouth Quintet Coming.

The entertainment committee at the
Center has made arrangements whereby a
quintet OF Dartmouth boys has been Sc
cured for the evening of Feb. 10. This
entertainment is not one OF the original
five numbers; neither is it intended to
replace either Of the remaining two; but
is to he conducted with a view toward
lettering the financial situation OF the
committee since the money subscribed
falls short OF the sum required.
We are indeed fortunate in securing
the services Of this aggregation, and a
first class entertainment is assured. II
will be something different from the
others, selections by a quartet being a
part OF the program and those who enjoy
good singing can not afford to miss this
rare treat. In addition, there will be
a reader who is sure to please his audi.
ence with comic selections.
A large attendance is desired. Every
body come and give the boys a good wei
come. They will appreciate it and you
will feel repaid. Remember the night
Thursday evening OF next week at
O'Clock, Normal hall.

Amendment to PhdTmdCdl Laws.

The Kentucky State Board OF
Pharmacy completed its sessions
In Louisville Wednesday after
noon and adjourned until June.
when the sessions will be renewed
at Olympian Springs in connec-
ton with the convention of the
Kentucky Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton. The next regular meeting
will be held in July at Dawson
Springs.
At the meeting the new amend
meut to the pharmacal laws was
discussed for the purpose of crea-
ting a general understanding of its
terms. The law. which governs
registered pharmacists, has been
changed to include the registra-
ton Of assistant pharmacists. The
law also has been changed to de-
mand four years of practical expe-
rience in a drug store instead of
three, as heretofore required.
Three years experience, supple
mented by course of study in a
college OF pharmacy, viii be judg-
ed sufficient for registration.
The change in the law makes
necessary a change in the registra-
ton fees, and registered pharma-
cists, who heretofore paid s. reg
istration. will be charged $40, and
81 every year for registration.
Assistant pharmacists will be
charged S. for the initial registra-
ton, and 81 each year for regis
tration. 1t is provided that failure
TO register for five consecutive
years shall cause a name to be
stricken from the books and the
person so stricken off shall be
compelled to stand an examination
before being again registered.
The members of the State Board
of Pharmacy are as follows:
President, j. O. Cook, Hopkins
vile; secretary, j. w. Gayle,
Frankfort; treasurer, James K.
Cooper, Lexington; James II.
Martin, Winchester: Robin H.

Pearl Farm On AuSrdlia'S Most
Northern Point.

We hear of poultry farms and
bee farms, of cattle farms and dog
farms, and even cat farms, says
Harper's Weekly, but. so far as is
known, there is only one pearl
farm. 1t is a large farm, for it
extends over some five thousand
square miles, and is covered by
shallow water.
The site of this farm is Torres
Strait, at the northmost point of
Autralia. 1t belongs to a capital
list known in that quarter of the
world as the king of pearl-hsh-
ers." He stocked it with $50, 900
pearl oysters rather more than ten
years ago.
1t takes 1900 men to gather in
his crop, of whom 200 are divers.
Two hundred and fifty are regu-
larly employed.
In the shallow water that covers
his great farm shells grow very
large, and the divers can operate
well. The harvest is not a mean
one, for the pearls, when sold in
London. fetch 100000 and upf
ward every year.
