THEY have come and gone. "Welcome(?) the coming, speed the parting guest." It has truly been said "they cease because the grinders are few" and "much study is a weariness of the flesh."

After the examinations come conditions, and we shall all probably be as successful as usual, perhaps more so.

In German it is reported that the marks are very low, ranging from um to steen per cent. Here is a translation which only received raty-ta-teenths per cent.

SCENE. - Fast's study. On a table in the centre are dust-covered books, on top of which are empty sardine boxes and beer bottles; webs on the ceiling; beetles and spiders flitting through the air. Before the fire stands Fast roasting an oyster. Day breaking.

FAST. - How my eyes ache! How my head hums! Oh! that I could have gone to Miss Vasaline's German to-night instead of memorizing those Chinese books for to-morrow's examination.

Day still breaking. Old Fel., disguised as special student, with bull pup skips in.

OLD FEL. - Why linger ye in these sombre shades? In distant city there is a ball. Turn aside and come with me. Become renowned by being first in the car, first in town, and first in the heart of Parker's.

Day still breaking. More little fels skip in; proctors heard in the distance.

FAST. - Hello, chum, how about the roller-skates? I, going to the ball this eve? Well, not this eve. Have an exam. this A. M.

Annex maids flitting through the air chanting.

Take a girl,

Have a whirl;

You refuse?

Oh! you goose,

What a churl.
