When Samuel G. Blythe, the writer,

ventured down to the docks after
nightfali and a silk hat being unusual
and provocative of antagonisms In
that section Mr.. Smith had emerged
from among the dock hands without
tho hat. Nevertheless he carried cut
of the melee so many wounds, cuts
and bruises that he had TO be sent

A correspondent recently reported
what ha described as the curious
freak" of blackbird flying against a
parlor window many times at the
same spot continuously. Such an Incl
dent Is not uncommon. Birds have
been known to fight for hours at q
time, day after day, with their own
image reflected In a pane OF glass,
pecking and futtering against the pane
and quite ~exhausting themselves in
their fury to demolish the supposed
rival. 1t is another instance OF how
the arts Of our civilization corrupt
and confuse the birds. 1t is the same
with fishes. Darwin tells a story of q
pike In an aquarium separated by
plate glass FROM fish which were its
proper food. In trying to get at the
fish the pike would often dash with
such violence against the glass as to
be completely stunned. 1t did this
for more than three months before Ii
learned caution. Then when the glass
was removed the pike would not at
tack those particular fish, but would
devour others freshly introduced. II
did not at all understand the situa-
ton, but associated the punishment
1t had received not with the glass, but
with a particular kind of fish,

The postponed game will be play
ed next Sunday afternoon on the
Copper Works diamond at $3.50 p.
M. The Dexters will have a little
more practice and the interest in
the game vii, be greater than at

Athletic clubs in Tottenville and
Plainfield have offered Manager
John Toolan to book the Dexters for
the entire coming season. These
clubs wanted the Dexters to be their
representative team and play ~elevens
from other cities. These organiza-
tions also gave such offers that the
local lads would have many games
and all their expenses would be
paid. But the Dexters want to see
whether there are enough gridiron
enthusiasts in this city to support
one team. Next Sundays game will
prove this and If a real live crowd
of sports who love the game and will
pay their share to see a good tussle
are present, the Dexters will play
on the Copper Works diamond every
week and be the representative ag-
gregation OF the city.
Many other cities are only too
anxious to have a good team like

Great Britain Cuts Of Army Meat
Contracts Until the Suits Against

Dispatches from London to Ameri-

instituted in the United States from
rendering for contracts for the supply
of meat to the British army and navy

The President of Armour & Com

roughly, has amounted to between

"MATRMONY COURSE" NOW.
Los Angeles Girls Taught Courtship
and Mothercraft.


and Mothercraft.
Clos Angeles Correspondence to New
York World.)
A course of matrimony has been
included in the curriculum Of the
Gardens Agricultural High School.
Five classes of girls are daily TAX
ing advantage of instruction in court
ship, matrimony, the care Of babies,
mothercraft and domestic science.
1t Is planned that boys in Los An
geles shall be permitted to take the
course next year, but some doubt Is
expressed about the need Of this. 1t
is argued that "the female Of the
species" will be so adept in the mat
ter of courtship and marriage by the
end of the year that she will have lit
tie difficulty in imparting her knowi-
edge to the less deadly male.
The girls are taught how to deport
themselves during courtshipfi and in
structed in household management,
home dietetics, housekeeping ac-
counts, dressmaking, millinery and
even in such practical matters as how
plumbers are supposed to do their
work and how much they should be
paid.
