Warranted to Keep.

The playful element was never entirely absent from Professor Drummond’s class in natural science at Edinburgh university, and Dr. T. Hunter Boyd in his book. “Henry Drummond," ascribes its frequent cropping out to the professor’s own sense of humor, which encouraged naturalness. On one occasion Professor Drummond announced that unfortunately he could not meet the class next day, as he had an Important engagement. The students heard that he was absent on account of his sister’s wedding. On the day following when a geological specimen was passed round the class it wns prominently labeled: “Drummond’s wedding cake.” It Is said that the professor was as quietly appreciative as any member of the class. —-7
