NICE POTATOES One of Them Sold for Three Hundred and Fifty Dollars. Fancy prices are paid for potatoes j oceassionaly, but it sounds like ex-1 aggeration to say that a single po-1 tato sold in London the other day I for $350.' At the Smithfield cattle! show four pounds of Eldorado potatoes sold for $3,000. Ihe grower of thisremurkble variety of tubershad refused an offer of $350 for a single potato. The explanation of this extraordinary boom in potatoes is that tee Eldorudo variety has withstood the disease which has proved so disastrous to the crop in Ireland the past year. It is said that the life of a potato is about twelve years. During this period it is constantly deterioating in quality. The potato that has been the successful cropper for years and which has supplied the millions failed last year, and results show it has about lived its ilfe. The fact that the new variety has proved its disease resisting powers the past yeifi* has caused the mad rush for it • A New Case. A new case was filed in the clerk’s office today entitled Joseph D.

A Hartford City barber won a dollar the other day by shaving one of his patrons without uttering a word, ft is said that the strain on the btirbei was . something awful ’ tqid that he had hardly strength ' enough to cry “next ' When through with the job. A man is embarrassed when you 1 remark upon his clothes, but a woman is offenped if you do not. A I Georgia woman was fatally burned while on her knees in prayer, • but dont permit this to discouurge getting down on your marrow bones, O perverse and stiff ncoked sinner! Here is the opinion of a young man given to one of our exchanges: Twenty dollars on a farm is better than thirty five dollars a month in the city. As a general thing at the end of nine months the farmer boy I has $l5O in cash three pairs of overalls and a straw hat, while the city chap has an ice cream suit, an imitation Panama hat, sovcrul: decorated socks, a package of cigar-i ettek and thirty dollars of unpaid; bills. An Irishman and his wife were left a sum of money Hb<l they decided to see the world. They went to Jerusalem and the sea of Gallilee. The Irishman asked Ins wife if she wanted to take ti bout ridi'on the sea Christ walked on and she answered, '"Y’es.” So he went to the man who rented the bouts and said : ‘ How much do yez. charge to rent a boat for an lioui ?” ■ ‘‘Twenty five dollars ." was the reply. ‘‘Well, It's nd dom wonder that Christ walked.’ 'was all the tistonisliedCelt could say.—Exchange. A wife who loves ' lub* husband says the Atchison Glope will not object to cutting his hair every week or two instead of every two or three months.. Any num, can learn to shave If.
