sigh. Here l amt got any kin at all. :"
There's your cousin Thyrza," said
Trip.
Il don't count her as kim" said Phoe-
De fodd coldly, and she manifested her
resentment of Mrs. Trips suggestion by
turning about abruptly and walking into
the house, while Mrs. Trip walked down
the country road toward her own home,
saying to herself; If ever there was a
set piece Phoebe Podd is one. There's
nobody on earth she'd ought to have and
she'd like to have help her to eat that
young gobbler as Thyrza Deane and her
boys, but she'd die, Phoebe Podd would,
before she'd own up to It."
Miss Podd lived ON a profitable little
farm left to her by her parents. who had
also left her cash and stock enough to
make her one of the best off" women in
the neighborhood In which she lived. She
lived alone. with the exception Of a hired
man.
Miss Podd and her cousin Thyrza had
been more like sisters than cousins in
their intimacy until a trifing disagree
ment had resulted In their complete es-
arrangement. and 1t had been FIVE years
since they had spoken to each other.
Mrs. Deane had become a widow dur
ing these FIVE years, and she had been re-
duced from a state of ease and plenty to
one OF hardship and poverty. But these
facts had apparently made no difference

Potato shipments.

Shipment of potatoes to San Fran
cisco from Portland has already begun,
something unprecedented so early in
the season. Farmers are digging, but
there is chasm in California yawning
for every potato taken out of the ground
IN Oregon, and they are going for the
purpose of trying to fill it. The Cali
fornia demand has already caused the
price to rise from so to so cents.
There are said to be plentiful supply
of potatoes in Oregon this year, how
ever, and when digging really gets in
full blast the price will come down

New York, Dec. 27.--Hindu astrolo-
gers, according to Bombay papers, which
have just been received, are connecting
the famine. plague and British reyerses
to the peculiar conjunction OF the
planets when, on November 18th, seven
planets were in the sign of Scorpio.
The Hindus of Bombay, therefore, to
avert further calamity and ensure sue
cess to the British arms, arranged for
special prayers and religious ceremonies
at one of their great temples. Seventy
five learned Brahmans offciated. The
first act was the presentation of gifts to
those priests of valuable shawls and
money. The priests then invoked
divine blessings on the rulers and ruled,
and the people sang hymns in Marathi
and Gujarati. of which the Indian
papers give the following translation !:
"God grant that the ilustrious and
inerciful Victoria may always enjoy
perfect peace and happiness; that feel
ings OF loyalty may remain deeply
rooted in the hearts of her subjects,
and that her kingdom may be free from
all foreign invasions. May all differ
ences between the rulers and the ruled
vanish; may Her Maiesty's subjects
move in the path of Righteousness may
all treason disappear may famine and
pestilence fly away; may the people of
the Transvaal come to repent their acts
of folly, and may Her Maiesty's forces
gain glory and success on the fields of
battle in Africa"
At the close of the service, three
cheers were given for the long life,
glory and success of Her Majesty, the
Queen EMPRESS.

strong in the opening dealings.
Some effort was made to induce
weakness in the general market by
laiding Sugar and Brooklyn Transit.
These stocks yielded a point, and
Tobacco, which was run up 45s, to SO.
reacted 21s. Other issues meantime
held firmly and subsequent demand
for the western and international
properties lifted them materially.
Covering began in the iudustrials, the
gains being most noteworthy in the
local traction stock.
The announcement OF the failure of q
brokerage firm in Boston caused a
shaIp reaction and dull market.
The lower level of prices attracted
some outside demand, which was most
manifest in the grangers and trunk
lines. Their exhibition of strength
promoted buying elsewhere, and the
entire list advanced strongly on ami
mated dealings. Prices In general
reached the best. gains running from
tc 4 points. A drive at Brooklyn
Transit checked tho advance.
Brooklyn Transit was forced down

Many of the owners of houses to be
rented have decided to advance the
rates next year. About 80 pei month
will be charged for houses which have
been renting for $3.50 and IS. Other
houses will be adyanced accordingly.
One real estate agent said the reason
was because the rents have been too
low. During the recent hard times, -
he explained, "many families doubled
up ard there were many idle houses
and in order TO have the houses occu-
pied the rents in many instances we're
cut away down, the drop in some
instances being from $40 and Sill to 81
and sS. We do not want to get back
to the old figures, but feel that It is
pecessary, in order to keep up repairs,
to make slight advance. The same
agent said there is great demand for
small houses and he believes there will
not be enough TO accommodate the
people who are now making inquiry.
