GALLERY OF PAINTINGS. Dn. Gordon's portrait (full figure), a work of art, has been added to the gallery of motables at Queen's Uri- versity. These paintings are a price- Lless heritage. They revive the mem- ories of the great men whose lahor combined ©o make the universiiy what it 48. Some of these men the Whig remembers. Some »>f them antedated the period which is r¥fer- red to as that of contemporary his- tory. They diffgr in many respects. They contributed, in influence and service, to different 'constituencies. They met the demands of the hour, picking up the tasks that others laid down, and enlarging upon them as their wider vision and greater oppor- tunities permitted. Each in his turn built upon the work of his preda::s- sor. Each made the.success of the collége the ambitior of his life. Each aimed to life it into the national un- versity which it eventyally became. The portraits of the past principals of Queen's suggest a study of the times in which they lived. The fur- ther this study is pursued the wider the horizon of one's thoughts and the sweep of his imagination.

HASH Hash is an inexpensive substitute for a square meal with which the flower of America's manhood is satu- rated about three times a week. . It is not served in foreign countries, owing to the fact that over there man is looked up to with more rev- erence and is prized as an addition to the home, There are times when it seems os if it would be nice to be a foreigner. While the origin of Has is shrouded in obscurity, the latest en- eyclopedias state that it is presumed to have been invented by the Cape Cod housewife who at the same time brought out the cottage pudding, which makes it possible to dispose of sponge cake after it has become wrinkled with age. It is very annoy- ing to a sensative husband who has passed up a sponge cake for four weeks in succession to have it ap- pear disguised as a pudding and be forced to eat it -or"start a display of fireworks about the family hearth, This is one of the principal reasons, no doubt, why so many men remain single. Another reason is that wom- an is becoming more thoughtful and discriminating in her tastes, The standard-guage variety of Hash is composed of meat which no- body cared to. eat in its natural state, mixed with the juicy cold boiled potato. These ingredients _ are shaken up together and held over a slow fire for a few minutes, after which they unite in one oleaginous mass and are thrust upon the table with a violence almpst approaching brutality. why it is that when a man comes home after a hard day's work, with an appetite for some light, filling This causes us to ask' food like the whole wheat pancake, he will be confronted with Hash which started oujyas a rib roast, was converted into eld meat and finally had to be brough home from a pic- nic supper in the form of sand- wiches? : The origin of Hash is shrouded in obscurity a After a plate of Hash has gone the rounds of the family circle and has been politely but firmly rejected, it will "appear the following day in the form of croquettes. This teaches us that woman is a resourceful crea- ture, who is willing to deceive a trusting husband rather than see anything go to waste. $ Hash can be made of anything that wag left over from the Sunday din- ner, and usually is.
