ENGLAND NEEDS POTATOES

If Ame, lean dealers in potatoes have
any stock t. spare. the probabilities are
that they will find profitable market
for their surplus in England, where the
potato crop the past season was a dis
astrous future. American potato rails
crs also suffered greatly from potato
blight and other diseases peculiar to the
tu',er, but apparently to nothing like
the extent of the British farmers. Some
idea of the ravages of the disease in
England may be gathered from the fact
that moderate calculation, based on
careful investigation Of the two great
potato districts Of Yorkshire and Lin
colnshire, is that at least third of the
total crop was irretrievably. ruined.
Many merchants put their estimates at
one-half hopelessly bad, and fully a
third Of the remainder affected. Crops
planted on high sand lands Jared best.
The plight Of the farmers on the low
lying, strong warp lands is pitiable in
deed. Many have only been able to
make er,ls meet by reason of the earn
ings Of the potatoes balancing the losses
on corn n the failure Of the British
crop, recourse was again had to France,
Germany and America. In view of the
possibility of drawing large foreign
supplies, and the uncertainty which pre-
vailed of an apparently good crop be-
ing deliverable in anything, like con-
dition, the English market was prac-
. tica!ly paralyzed.

CRYSTAL GAZING
An Old Fortune Telling Method Again In


Crystal gazing represents perhaps the
first favorite in the ranks of fortune tell
Ing methods. Nearly two years ago this
fancy became popular in England, where
Queen Alexandra is reported to be deep
ly interested In it's wonders.
The glass balls for crystal gazing are
not yet placed on sale for the benefit Of
the eager amateurs who would personally
test their psychic skill in this direction,
but, failing these, any kind Of glass
sphere, prism or cycle may be made shift
with. Water gazing, simple substitute
for the more impressive glass ball opera
ton, calls for nothing but a clear glass
tumbler or goblet, half filled with water
as pure and crystalline as may be OBJ
tained.
The method followed is the same in all
cases. The Would-be "gazer' first holds
tho ball or glass Of water easily yet firmly
IN the two hands in order to properly
'psychicize" or "magnetize' the sphere or
fluid. The thoughts, meanwhile, are di-
rected toward the wish or object most ar
IDENTIFY desired. Then the instrument of
div1nat ton, handled as carefully and as
little as possible, is shrouded in a black
silk cloth, this at once to preserve the
magnetic conditions and to shield from
undue or conflicting light the field Of
psychic revelation. Thus sheltered it Is
ready for the reader" Psychic images
foreshadowing coming events are sup
posed to appear in the depths of the ball
or glass as tho reader gazes long and
deep.
Magnifying glasses, "burning'' glasses,
and even denuded spectacles have all been
employed for this purpose. It is no I'M
common thing at luncheon or tea to wit
ness an eager yet breathlessly silent
group Of women all intent upon the orac-
ular words Of the Individual holding glass
or crystal, or themselves bent eagerly over
the half-f1l'ed tumblers set upon squares
of heavy black paper or cloth. Now and
then the combined attention Of the COM
pany Is directed toward small, intense
light of some KIND, but this experiment is
art to prove trying to the eyes

BARGAIN HUNTERS IN COURT

She alleged that last November she
bought fifteen yards of satin .foulard

the salesman representing to her that
the goods had been marked down from

After wearing the dress once, she al
legged, it frayed at the seams and
around the bottom. She sought to re-
cover from the firm on the ground that
the quality Of the material was not

The defendant called several experts
to testify that the valueo Of the
goods was the chest in the market, y
