Notwithstanding the Panic of
The Past Year Local Real
Estate Transactions Equal
ed Those of 1907.
NOT MANY MORTGAGES
WERE ALLOWED LAPSE
Looks Like Old Fashioned
Prices Would Prevail This
Year and Already There Is
Considerable Building.

During the year just closed the real
estate business in this city has held
up to that of 1907. In this particular
It is somewhat remarkable as by many
It had been expected that values
would decrease. 1t was but natural
supposition to think that many men
owning mortgaged property would have
been induced to drop their claims
owing to the fact that many of them
were without work for short time at
least Such did not prove to be the
case and John Peltz, of the firm of
Ball & Peltz, real estate dealers. is
authority for the assertion prospects
for the current year are brighter than
have been noticed at the beginning Of
any recent year.
Old Fashioned Prices.
It looks like the old fashioned prices
will prevail in Richmond real estate
this year. There is quite little
building at this time and indications
are that there will be great deal
more as soon as the weather opens up.
1t is fully expected that the city will
Zee more building during the spring
months than it has for many years.
This building will be general through
out all sections. The west side, south
end and east end seem to be the most
preferred just at present. An impe-
tus to building in the north part Of
the city will be given by the Riverdale
Improvement association.
Trade Opportunities.
This spring will see many offers to
trade city property for small farm
sites situated for easy access to the
city. Here is growing disposition on
the part of number Of local property
owners to. make an attempt at life in
the country. Dealers have many re-
quests to secure property of this kind.
Property is moving rapidly now and
trading now gives prospects of a real
1or-sure rush a few months later.

Chief Justice Shaw, of Massachu-
sets, one of the greatest lawyers of
his time, was the plain, practical man,
and looked in his old age, as he sat on
the bench, somewhat like Chinese
idol, he used frequently to cut off Mr..
Choate's eloquence by calling him
back to the plain facts. At bar din
ner Choate was called upon to toast
the chief justice, and what he said
was this: I'VE regard our chief jus
tice as the heather as regards his
idol. We know that he is ugly. but
we feel that he is great"

The ancient Romans had a saying
to the effect that long life and a
pleasant one depended ON the free
use Of two fluids olive oil without
and wine within. The wise woman
ca today uses olive oil, but she uses
It In moderation both within and
without.
Some women take daily all over
massage with olive oil, and swallow
a teaspoonful of the pure oil three
times day. If 1t is disagreeable
taken clear, 1t can be eaten with
the meals-in the form of salad dress
ing, or with bread, as butter is. Some
people even eat it on cut-up apples,
but that seems an unpleasant COM
hination. There are always ways.
though, for even the woman who
doesn't like 1t to get down three tea
spoonfuls of olive oil day, and u
certain physician who Is an authority
on the subject says that that is
enough. He says. by the way, that

sPIEcELscHRIFT.


Do you understand 'spiegelschrift? r
In other words, can you write hack
ward? Can you write shorthand back
ward? Can you draw backward? Can
you write with both hands at the
same time?
Says well known psychologist:
The power of writing backward
mirror-writing, or spiegelschrift =
though of rare occurrence, is well
known to psychologists.
"A friend of the writer, we'll
educated man of good intelligence,
possesses this power AS a child he
found it.smuch easier to write back
ward with his left hand than forward
with his right, and when at danes
school had his ears boxed by his
scandalized instrpctress for INDUCING

they concentrate their attention and
will on the task and try to picture
the foundation of the letters and 50
on. That is not how the writer of
spiegelschrift has acquired his accom-
plishment. He has learned to write
with the right hands in the normal
fashion, and his brain spontaneously
translates what he has learned into
backward writing.
IF we want to learn how to write
spiegelschrift we must give our sub
conscious self chance. Take a pen
ell in each hand, and while the right
hand is writing a sentence leave the
left hand free to initiate the move
.ments of its fellow If the writer
can acquire the requisite degree Of
self detachment he will find that the
left hand. of its own accord, will re-
produce in mirror-writing whatever
the right hand has written"

ENVY on OTHER WOMEN.

EGGS AND THE HEN WE SING.
An Annual American omeiet as Big
as Manhattan island.

Let US sing the praise of the great
American hen, who during the last
year may well have caclxled with pride
over the production of nearly 1,30O,-
100000 dozens Of eggs. Do you real
lie what that means? demands writ
er in the Woman's Home Companion
Well, listen:
II instead of remaining quietly at
home In Iowa She had chosen to dem.
onstrate her powers to the universe
at large the hen might have laid those
eggs, each two inches long, end to
end in continuous chain reaching
23SsS1S miles up to the moon. back
again and then more than half way
around the world for good measure
a total of 492. 424 miles CT eggs!
Furthermore, II those eggs had
been made into one omelet half an
inch thick that omelet would easily
have covered Manhattan Island, an
area of twenty-five square miles.

that King Solomon used to travel

NEVER HURRY DOWN.

Women should never hurry down to
breakfast, says beauty expert. In
spite of what the poets sing, wo-
man doesn't look her best In the ear
ly morning. II she hurries over her
dre- sing, she certainly won't look
wei. Wherefore she should rise in
the most leisurely fashion, make her
toilet as IL time did not exist, and
then she can stroll down to break
fast with her face smooth and serene
and quite free from the lines which
fuss and hurry inevitably make.
That is all very well for beauty.
but how about the hostess when the
leisurely riser chances to be guest?
With houseful Of guests, every wo.

down to breakfast when she felt like

when that meal could be considered
over. The plan would certainly be
calculated to put lines into the host

The trouble with most cleaning

keep the ring from appearing. A rim
of French chalk should be put exact,

this should be put a piece OF blot
ting paper. When the cleaning fluid
is used it will soak into the French
chalk instead of running into the

to continue rubbing a spot with a
piece of soiled cloth. This alone
makes success Impossible. AS soon
as the cloth absorbs any of the dirt

DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL RE.

The enlargement of social relations
depends far less on opportunity than
on sympathy. It depends to very
slight degree on travel, on sight see.

power of coming to real relations
with some of that number. Respon-

AMERIcAN woMENs VOICES.

When an American woman goes to
Europe she is impressed by the
soft voices of her Old World sis
tiers, and it seems there is need in
this country for careful and dNigent
voice culture Whatever the cause,
IL must be confessed that as a rule
our women pitch their voices in a
key That Is the reverse Of pleasing.
We are more or less slaves of q
decIamatory style Of conversation,
and It Is on this point more than
any other that we fall under the
criticism of foreigners. The girl de-
sirous of giving herself every adj
vantage will strive earnestly for a
voice tuned In natural register,
which is not sharp nor penetrating
nor nasal. She won't contract the
throat when speaking. Instead, she
will try to keep it free. the cords
flexible and responsive. She will
practice dow and melodious speech
In the privacy of her own room. She
win draw deep breaths, expand her
chest, hold her head erect and so
train her voice that she will speak
at all times in easy and melodious
tones. For good and pleasing voice
Is nothing less than badge of re-
finement, and especially is this true
OF women.-New York Press.
