SOME FEATURES OF A
SCHOOL OF MATRIMONY

Mrs. Jessie w. Williams, of New
York, advocates the opening of a
a school for matrimony. Mrs. Will
liams would have the schools for
matrimony include all the branches
of household or mental or moral
science that go to make up domestic
happiness. In the category of yir-
tues are those that make a good
wife-how to cook, how to sew, how
to take care of children, how to pre-
serve your health, likewise your
beauty, how to get on with your
husbands and your own relatives,
how to keep your servants, how to
receive pleasantly the unexpected
guests your husband brings home,
how to be kind though frank, how
to keep your husband S secrets, how
to economize without being niggard-
ly, how to hold your peace when
your husband is angry-these Mrs.
Williams would have taught in the
schools for matrimony, which she
has set down as the ten marriage
commandm6 nts.

BETTER CHICKENS.
On The Market AS The Result OF
The Poultry Shows.

"Perhaps you haven noticed ID,
said the marketman, "but youhave
bad better poultry This year than
has ever before been in the New
York market. That is what the
poultry shows throughout the coun-
try have done for the people Of
this city. In their way these shows
have been as advantageous as have
the horse shows in theirs, and this
year we are getting the beneh OF it.
Poultry shows have taught The far
mer the advantage of raising Il e
fancy breeds OF poultry both as egg
producers and for the dressed fowl
market. A carload Of straight
blooded poultry was a thing un-
known to the trade few years ago,
Nov we have carloads Of Plymouth
Rocks and Partridge Cochins and
other choice breeds, from the South
and Southwest particularly. The
scrubs come mostly from the West,
and shipments from that quarter
have fallen off very considerably
in the past year, as the statistics
will show when they are made up.
The consumer gets the benefit, OF
course. No, it has not affected in
jurioasly the sales of capons. On
the contrary, thing 1t has helped
them, for the coming of the higher
grades of straight poultry has
served to educate the taste for the
fancy fowls, and even for game,
With better fowls, too, there has
come a demand tor better eggs, and
the market for Leghorn and other
fancy eggs for eating is stronger
now than it ever was in the trade.
Not only the farmers but the pub.
lie has been wonderfully educated
on this whole poultry business dur

NEWSPAPERS ENTHUAsTIc
In Praise Of Biopraph Pictures Of
Jeffries-Sharkey Fight.

The Biograph pictures Of the
Jeffries-Sharkey fight will be seen
at Hollands Opera House next
Friday evening, Jan. 10.
These pictures seem to be making
almost as great sensation as did
the 6ghtitself. This can be account
ed for ID several different ways. In
the first place there seems to be no
doubt but that these moving pictures
are much finer than any others that
have ever been seen before, and adj
ditional interest is added because
there has been so much difference
of opinion regarding the justice Of
Referee George Siler's decision.
Every body seems to want to see the
pictures Of this greatest battle in
the history of the ring, so that they
may decide whether or not It is just
that Jeffries should still bear the
championship title.
The st. Louis newspapers are en-
thusiastic in praise of the biograph
pictures, each devotlng columns to
descriptions of the exhibition. The
Globe Democrat says:
One thousand persons, among
them a score of women, watched
the Sharkey-Jeffries fight at the
Coliseum, and at the close of the
twenty-hfth round cheered heartily
for the sailor pugilist. OF course it
was only a pictured fght--the NOV
ing Photographs taken by the Ameri-
can Mutoscope and Biograph Com
pany-but the spectators followed
the contest with almost as much in
terest as they would have done had
the outcome been unknown to them
in advance, and the flesh and blood
of the fighters were before them, in
stead of the shadowy representa-
tions.
"The pictures are excellent.
Every detail of the big fight, as it
occurred in the arena OF the Coney
Island Athletic Club on the night of
3 last, is presented with
striking vividness The muscles OF
the gladiators stand forth as plain
ly, their terrific blows and agile
ducks are seen as easily as if the
men themselves were in the arena.
OF course, a photograph presents
only a silhouette, and there are
many points that cannot be deter
mined by the picture itself; but the
biograph's exhibition at the Coli
scum this week will do much to ad-
just the controversities here over
the merits Of the famous fight.
"Sharkey deserves all the plaud-
its and cheers that were given him
as the spectators filed out las
night. He made superb fight
a showing Of magnificent pluck and
excellent skill. Indeed, the pic
lures Will do much to lower Jeffries'
stock as a champion in st Louis.
