Mortified 20; Randolph 3.

The Randolph High school base ball
team met its second defeat at Mortified
last Saturday. The Randolph team played
rather loosely in the first three innings and
was unable TO hit the Mortified pitcher,
Dutton, who is an unusually good pitcher
for high school pitcher, and has lots OF
speed, combined with good curves and con-
troll.
In the fourth inning the Randolph team
began to play better ball, holding North
field down TO only five runs in the re-
mainder Of the game. In the sevent b
inning Randolph was able to score and i'm
the ninth batted much better, securing
two more runs. The score book shows
that it was plainly the pitcher who PLAYED
the game for Northfield
Walbridge and Chedel put up a good
fielding game for the Randolph team.
Morton pitched first two innings. and
Chedel pitched the remainder of the game.
The next schedule game isat Bethel next
Saturday.

The study of man is, indeed. one of the
very few studies open to woman in the
university OF the world. To most women
who have taken it up it has proved OF abb
ology pales beside it. The difference lies in
the relative attractiveness of the animals

The animal Homo is one of great interest
and never-ending variety. as any one who
has ever studied one will readily admit.
1t is. perhaps. best studied in specimens
belonging to that most typical species.

of the room to put it in a good humor. and
then leading it gently to a secluded corner
to be vivisected.
There are also lectures. delivered by the
older students. who consider themselves the
ultimate authority on the subject. The
sophomores are particularly prone to de-
liver these lectures. which are full of kind
suggestions and worldly wisdom
Perhaps the most common method Of
study is that of the laboratory. The stu
dent can fit up a laboratory at home with
comfortable chairs. chatting dishes. etc, at
very slight expense. and the specimens
can be had for nothing. They even evince
an inexplicable desire to seek the labora-
tory of their own free will. Once there. the
process of vivisection is easily managed.
A very pretty bit of dissection. and one
every student desires to learn. is removing
the scalps of the animals. Although these
are not beautiful. they are highly esteemed
by collectors. and the students vie with
enc another in acquiring them.

The marvel is not that 1t took the patient
artist Prince thirty years to do 1t, but that
it should have been possible to do it at all.
For it must be remembered that these old
ivory carvers did not have the modern IA
cilities for carving and cutting.
All of this wonderful work was done with
two thin-biaded knives and a sharp-pointed
ferrule or chisel.
Notwithstanding the fact. however. that
these marvels are beyond the hope of the

bition has stimulated an increased interest
