FISHERIES COLLEGE
Scientists Plan School at Boston to Teach old Seafaring salts New Tricks.

Tricks.
 Boston, Jan. 36 -Whether tine old salts of the New England seaboard can be taught new tricks by the ap- plication of scientific research to the fisheries that have brought fame to Gloucester, Cape Cod and this port is ono of the things to be considered by the administrative committee of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in connection with a proposal to es- tabhsh n fisheries college here. The committee will have before it for conside ration the report of Prof. Samuel c. Prescott, who has just re- turned from tho Pacific coast where he made a study of the fisheries col lege operated in conjunction with tho University of Washington.

carried her eff to his home. In mod
ern marriage, the very name Of the
"best man" bears witness co this Gus
tom, which obtained many hundreds
of years back, for the "best man" is
simply the successor of the strong
armed warrior who assisted the groom
to carry off his bride, just as the we'd
ding ring symbolizes the thongs with
which the bride was bound, and the
old shoes thrown after the couple
take the place of the missiles hurled
by the pursuers of the past.
The honeymoon itself, is nothing
more than the space of time, when
the captor had to hide his prize from
her kinsmen, until their consent had
been gained.
On the whole, these deductions TAX
en- from an old custom, may seem a
bit arbitrary, then, on the other hand,
be suggestive of coincidental features.
However, be this as it may, the writef
can safely say, that this is story of
then" and "now."

WHY is THERE A "BEST MAR
AT A WEDDING?

When we dig back into the origin
of many of the customs which sur
rounds marriage, even when it is re-
garded in the light of a religious
ceremony, it is surprising to find the
number of signs which point directly
to the days when wedding was mere
ly a matter of agreement, between a
man and woman, and force, rather
than courtship, was the principal ar
gument used. The first form of mar
riage outside of a tribe, was the
marriage by capture" The bride
groom simply went out, accompanied
by friend or two, seized upon some
woman who appealed to him, and

Change in Postoffice Regulations Per.
tanning to Special Delivery Mail

From and after January LIST, 1921,
the practice Of taking receipts from
the addressee for special delivery mail
will be discontinued. Such mail will
hereafter be, delivered without any re-
ceipts being required, and in cases
where personal delivery cannot be af-
fected, will be left in regular mail re-
ceptacles, the same as other ordinary
mail 1t has been decided by the de-
partment that it is not necessary to
require receipts for special delivery
mail in view of the fact that the spec
ial delivery system is designed to ex-
pedite and not safeguard mail and the
abolition of the receipts for same will
in many cases tend to expedite the de-
livery for the reason that where per-
sonal delivery cannot be affected on
account Of the absence of the address
see from his regular address, the mail
may be left in the regular mail
receptacle and received by him on his
return, instead of notice being left
requiring him to call at the postoffice,
as has heretofore been the practice.
The Department desires to empha-
size the fact that the special delivery
system does not add any safeguard to
the mail, and that mail of value can be
safeguarded only by the registry sys-
tenn, and such mail should invariably
be registered.
