Changes at Princeton.

According to new rules the sale of
furniture at Princeton between under
graduates will be subject to the esti-
mate of an appraiser selected by the
university authorities.
Thus the practice of bleeding"
the under-class men, which has been
observed at Princeton for nearly
quarter of century, has been abol-
ished. The working principle of the
system consisted in a tacit under
standing between the graduating oc-
cupants of the rooms and the men who
were to succeed them that something
besides the mere value of the furni-
ture entered into all bargains This
something was defined as the ''good
will" of the sellers, and varied in value
according to the regulations of the
outgoing men in the college world.
The purchase was supposed to insure
the new occupants against annoying
and oftentimes expensive visits from
the former owners, when the latter
returned to the college town. There
are instances where the rooms of men
who refused to pay the price demanded
have been forcibly entered and serious
damage done to the furniture. Res
pect of college custom forbade the
losers to make complaints. The story
is told of freshman who paid 1926
for chair, table, bed and washstand,
because he didn't like the looks of
the former occupant of the room. :"
The furnishings in some apartments
have sold as high as 800 and the
average price ranges from $500 to $4C0.
Other methods have been employed
to take advantage of the freshmen.
For instance, when the rooms are al
loted in the spring, the seniors borrow
furniture from the juniors, which is
left in the room until the sale is
effected so the freshman who congrat-
ulates himself on the finely furnished
room that he has drawn may return
in the fall to find is room barely pro-
vided with necessities. Schemes of
this sort, it is thought, will also be
corrected by the new rules, for the
furniture will not be appraised until
college has closed, and the money
received by the treasurer will not be
paidl over to the former occupants
until the school year begins again in
the fall The upper class men now
in college will, of course. be the losers
They purchased the furnishings in
their apartments at good will"
prices, but will be obliged to sell ac-
cording to appraisal The Princeton
ian, expressing the sentiments of these
unfortunates, suggests that the change
be made gradually.

Introduction of this system before he

After an experiment has been made
and found practicable the next thing
is to see how it can be improved, so
with rural delivery, it has now passed
its experimental stage and the ques-
ton h how can it be improved? How
can the Government improve its SER

Government do this year to further this
system of rural delivery?-a system
that is fast approaching in import
ance the established service? During
the coming year, there will be at the
disposal of the Post. Office Department
for rural free delivery service more
than So, 900, 600, which will enable the
Department to more thoroughly and
completely extend this service, until
the home of every citizen is brought
within the reach of the communities
that would otherwise be separated by
long distances. The extension of the
rural free delivery is also of great
value to the merchant and especially
to the publisher, who has brought
within his reach customers who would
be, except for the rural free delivery,
entirely isolated.

ENORMOUS APPLE CROP.
This Is Believed to be the Banner
Year for Fremont County--A
Few Sales In Bulk.

Fremont county has long enjoyed
the reputation of being the richest
and heaviest apple producing section
in the state of Colorado. The an
nual shipments have strengthened the
belief, until at last tie eastern apple
buyers have been here since early in
the season investigating the crops,
watching their development, calculat-
ing that as fast as possible the best
crops would be bought up. In this
the agents have succeeded in few
cases. They are sufficient, however,
to form some idea as to what may be
expected for the years crop. In in
stances the crop has been purchased
as it hangs upon the trees. In others
the sale has been made by the box or
barrel.
The largest orchard in this locality,
if not in the entire state, is that
owned by B. F. Rockafellow, and is To-
Gated about two and one half miles
from this city and contains rs acres
set to fall, autumn and winter apples,
pears, cherries and grapes. In 1897
6,7OO barrels of late apples were sold,
and in addition to this early varieties
sufficient to carry the figure to TO-
600 barrels. The crop this year is
estimated by experts to promise the
largest yield in the history of the
orchard. Quite the common estimate
is 1900 to Is, 900 barrels of winter
apples. And this vast crop is sold.
The price is not given out, but the
Rockafellow apples are always quoted
high in the market.
John Bonn has seven acres largely
set to apples with smaller fruits be-
tween the rows. He has sold his
winter apple crop, and we understand
he will get $500 for it.
A. P. Arbuckle has also sold his
crop and will receive therefor $500.
W. P. Ahart has sold the apples
from his late apple trees for 81, 500.
Mr.. Arthur Webber, the Chicago
agent for Newhall & Co., who was
here and made the above purchases,
has been taken sick and has returned
to Chicago, but his place will be taken
by another gentleman and purchases
continued.

chaps you see going about in long tailed coats and buckskin brooches look as if they were dressed for the stage. Little girls in the same way initiate their mothers with skirts reaching to their ankles and quaint homemade jewelry of silver and gold. Every little girl hopes to have a brooch with Jing- ling pendants. The jewelry is of simple pattern, the gold or silver being ham, mered into thin sheets, cut into squares and diamonds and fastened together with rings.
 The costumes of the Dalecarlian wo- men differ according to locality. In some of the parishes red is the prevail ing color and in others green and blue. Their hats are shaped and trimmed diff ferently also, and in one of the parishes a sort of tam O shanter" is worn, wit h a band fitting closely around the head and a broad top. In the Mora country the men wear jackets of white felt cut square at the corners and fitting closely to the neck, with white buckskin knickerbockers and leather aprons to keep them clean. The ordinary over- coat is made of sheepslsin with the wool on the inside, like Bryan O Lynn's, held to the waist with belt and with long skirts reaching to the heels-a very comfortable garment for this climate and not unbecoming. .-Chi- cago Record Herald
