It has been decided that the recent order enforcing the 
prohibition against the use of the armories of the State 
of New York by non-military bodies, does not apply to 
the school boy athletes of the Public Schools Athletic 
League, whereat there is much cause for rejoicing. If 
the boys were denied the use of the armories, the rifle 
practice, which has become so popular and prevalent 
with them, would be checked if, indeed, it was not prac¬ 
tically abolished because of such deprivation. Now the 
knowledge of rifle shooting can be inculcated as hereto¬ 
fore, with the consequent benefit to the individual in 
acquiring so valuable an accomplishment, and to the 
nation in having a reserve of marksmen which comprises 
the whole people. 
FISH AFFECTION FOR EACH OTHER. 
In the “Philosophical Transactions,” Vol. 9, it 
is stated that: 
“Fish that are kept in jars, when they have 
lived awhile together, contract so great an affec¬ 
tion for each other that if they are separated 
they become melancholy and sullen, and are a 
long time before they forget the loss. 
“Mr. Anderson put two- ruffs into a jar of 
water about Christmas, and in April he gave one 
of them away. 
“The fish that remained was- so affected that 
it would eat nothing for three weeks; so that 
fearing it would pine to death, he sent it to the 
gentleman on whom he had bestowed its com¬ 
panion. 
“On rejoining it, it ate immediately, and re¬ 
covered its former briskness.”—Fishing Gazette, 
London. 
TAKING NO CHANCES. 
“Here’s a nice looking place, Tom,” said a 
young wife recently as she entered a Harlem 
flat house with her husband. “Let’s look at the 
rooms.” 
Tom tagged in. He had a bull terrier in leash. 
The janitor showed them the rooms. 
“They’re very, very small,” complained the 
wife. 
“No’m,” replied the janitor sadly.. “Them 
ain’t small. Y’orter see the flats next door. If 
you took one of them you’d have to teach your 
dog to wag his tail up and down.” 
“Come on, purp,” cheerily called the dog’s 
master. “This flat is so large I’m afraid I’ll lose 
you.” 
FISHERMAN’S LUCK. 
Most extraordinary year for fishing. One 
sportsman was hauled overboard by a giant cod 
and another, trying for pickerel in Greenwood 
Lake, caught a handbag containing $128 and a 
few diamond rings.—New York Telegram.
