NO CHEAP POTATOES
RULE THIS WINTER
Dealers Predict Price Will
Remain Between Eighty
Cents and a Dollar.

Cheap potatoes will not be the rule
this year. according to Richmond deal
ers. They say that owing to the scar
city of the vegetable in this part of the
country the price will remain between
so cents and 81 per bushel for sever
al weeks 10 come.
Some predict that the price will stay
close around the dollar mark the en-
tire winter. There is an excellent pota-
TO crop in the far northwest. but the
Michigan crop is much smaller than
in former years
Maiden Blush Arrives.
The first of the winter apples, the
maiden blush. has appeared in the To-
cal markets and is selling at 81 % per
bushel. Baldwins, Greetings. Imper-
ials and other winter favorites are ex-
pected to arrive the latter part of the
month.
Indiana Peaches Disappear.
Indiana peaches have disappeared
from the market. The crop was very
light, but the quality was good and
the native peach commanded the
same price as the Michigan fruit Jer-
sey sweet potatoes and Spanish on
ions, which made their appearance in
local markets several days ago are
now very common and slightly cheap
er in price.
Nuts To Be High.
High priced nuts are predicted for
the holiday season. The California
crop of almonds was short and grow
ers are asking sharply increased pri-
ces. While the California crop of Eng
lish walnuts was also rather light, it
is believed that the retail price will
be but little affected owing to the
foreign crop. Peanuts are already high

RICHMOND MARKET

Young chickens in the local market
are slightly lower The drop in price
paid by Ed Cooped is from Csc to 23c
per pound, dressed He accounts for
this drop by saying that young fowls
are growing heavier, and the people
will not pay the former price for them,
because they can not afford it.
Oats advanced from 35c to SIC per
bushel, and middlings went from $27
to $28 a ton.

Tossing the Caber.

One of the strangest and most an
cient games Of Bonny Scotland is
throwing the caber, than which there
is probably no more severe test of
muscle and skill, says Popular Me-
chanics. The game has been played
by the hardy Scots since the earliest
times and Is still one of the feature
events on the programs of all athletic
contests. The caber is a long section
OF tree trunk, tapered so that it is no.
dceably smaller at one end than at
the other. The man who essays to
test his strength by tossing it raises
the pole to vertical position in his
hands, smaller end down, and then
throws 1t into the air and away from
him. He must make the large end of
the pole hit the ground and the pole
hit such a way that the small end will
describe a half circle. The prize goes
to the man whose caber, having been
thrown In the manner described, lands
on the ground with it's smaller end
tarthest away from the throwing point

a little surreptitious fox catching try
the following. It Is the sage OF Lup-
ton who speaks, In his Thousand

Of your shoes with piece of fat
swine's flesh as broad as your hand,
newly toasted or little broiled at
the FIRE when you go out OF the wood
homeward. And in every OF your
steps cast a piece Of the liver OF a
swine roasted and dipped in honey,
and draw after your back the dead

are being studied by the water re-
sources branch of the geological
survey, and for this purpose 33
gaging stations are maintained in

Only Perfect Gem.

The pearl is the only gem not need
ing the hand Of man to bring 1t to
perfection, says the Gentlewoman.
History affords ample evidence of the
intense fascination. It has always ex-
ercised among the people Of every age.
It is the oldest object Of personal
adornment. The records of the Ro-
mans, Babylonians, Persians and Egyp-
tains make mention of 1t.
Coming to more recent epochs, we
find that Philip H., King of Spain, paid
100000 for a single pearl known as
"Peregrina." Found In Panama, 1t
was pear shaped and weighed 1874
carats. Another king of Spain, Philip
w., purchased one weighing 126 car
ats. 1t was brought from India.
France owns some exquisite exam
pies, but the biggest pearl known is
that which was once the property of
the banker, Henry Philip Hope.
Cylindrical in form, it is two inches
long, four and half inches In circum-
ference at one end and three and a
half inches at the other. 1t weighs
1900 grains and is valued at s., OOO, 900.

lette a regular bishop sleeve is set,
the fulness at the wrist drawn into

Nor are the services Of the bias band,
running In a diagonal line from the
throat to midway down the skirt, to
be moderated. This affords just the
requisite firmness of outline and, at
the same time, imparts length to the
figure, sometimes lacking when a
waist line is distinctly marked, as in
this case, although, as is decreed,
there is nothing to suggest pressure
and the vast is normal. There is a
tremendous feeling for this fanciful
closing line in front, which, as we are
once again permitted to enter our
bodices in front, is a matter for deep
gratitude.-London Madame.
