THE M|SF|T GHOST.
That Is What Sailors Call a
SpOOk Said to Haunt the
Schooner Eagre.

Every boy with a knowledge of ad-
venturous literature, otherwise "novels
of action" knows of the Phantom
Ship" the spook of the high seas.
But is has not been known that ships
themselves are haunted and that in the
service of the United States Coast Sur
vey there is a vessel, now in commits
sion, that is, by her own officers, sup
posed to be haunted.
Yet the Eagre, a 140 foot schooner of
the coast survey, is looked upon in the
service as very undesirable vessel to
be aboard of. About her there is an at
mosphere of gloom that ward room jest
cannot dispel.
as would be a pestilence, and stories
have been told by officers who have
cruised aboard her that are not good
for timid people to hear Officers have
hesitated about telling these uncanny
stories, but they have become sufficient
ly we'll known to make billet to duty
aboard the Eagre unwelcome among
the coast survey men.
The Mohawk was launched June 10,
1875. at Greenpoint and she was then
the largest sailing yacht afloat.
William T. Garner. her young Million
aire owner was very proud of his new
craft and all the then leaders of New
York society were invited to participate
in the good time afloat with which her
launch was celebrated. Commodore
Garner, then but 33 years old, and his
young wife, entertained charmingly, and

panion of his rambles for new one of
the 9S model and a little higher gear?
The very suggestion seems an absur-

the owners ought to feel.
1t isn't easy, even for dog, to keep
up with its master, when the latter is
mounted on a wheel. If the dog tries
1t he is apt to get in front Of the ma
chine and bring down the rider with a
bad tumble.
Most bicyclists slow up a bit when
they see dog. cat, or hen crossing in
front Of them, because it isn't always
easy to tell which way the creature will
run. q
There are a few en- Qsiasts, though,
who do take their ets along when
they go out wheeling. A handsome
young Italian who lives in upper
Brooklyn has a big gray squirrel that
always goes out for an airing with
its master. either riding snugly in his
pocket, just peeping out over the edge,
or perched in full view on his shoulder.
The squirrel is not free to run away,

THE CANARY BIRD TRADE.

For more than a century the breed
ing of canaries has been thriving
industry in parts of Germany. In 1850
the German dealers began to ship the
birds to New York, and then to South
America and Australia. The profits
are small but the industry is godsend
to the poor, who make the small wood
en- cages. 1t is estimated that about
250,000 canary birds are raised every
year in Germany. The most important
market is the United States, which
takes about 100000 birds per annum.
When the birds are shipped to this
country they are always accompanied
by an attendant. On the return voy-
age these attendants take American
birds and animals to Europe.

however, a cord fastened to one Of its
egs preventing 1t from straying. And
on the Boulevard in New York a rider
is often seen who carries tame par
rot perched on his shoulder.
There are plenty of children, all over
the country, who give pet kitten or
puppy an occasional lift on a wheel,
but seldom is the brute passenger so
comfortably provided for as a certain
spaniel, we'll known in the parks of
London last spring. This fortunate
dog owned two people. man and wo-
man, both middle aged, who hitched
themselves up every day as a double
team to take their pet out for an airing.
They rode two bicycles which they had
fastened side by side. On light
frame between the front wheels, but
high enough to permit an unobstructed
view, a basket was placed. 1t was

the trim, speedy Mohawk was christen-
ed with unusually merry festivities.
Soon after that she was capszed by a
sudden squall off the landing at Sta
pleton, S. l., and six people were drown
ed like rats in her cabin and forecastle.
Then the Mohawk was raised at a
cost of $4,000, and purchased by the
United States government for the serv-
ice of the coast survey. Her name was
changed to Eagre. for Jack Tar is pro-
verbally superstitious and with the old
name it would have been impossible to
ship crew.
Lieutenant Highly King describes his
initial experience when he was assigned
to duty on the Eagre in this way: "She

The Industries of Venice.

st. Marcos Church in Venice. there are
no horses in that city. In fact there
are thousands of Venetians who have
never seen a horse; who go through
life in their native city without ever
leaving it. Venetian industries? There
are glass factories which produce beau-
tiful things for decorative and domestic
purposes. Tons of glass beads are
made annually in Venice, and it is an
interesting thing to watch the women
stringing beads, an operation that one
would imagine to be most tedious but
which, in reality, is performed very ex-
peditiously by simple system of pas
sing threaded needles held in the hand
through masses of beads. Then there
is the lace-making industry which en-
ployes many women and girls, who do
not earn very much-only IA cents
day, yet they seem happy and con-
tented. Besides there are many per-
sons employed in fishing.

try delight so much in their brown and
red that they leave off wells to show
their colors and to prolong the life
Of these as much as possible. Women
who do not tan" or who have taken
care of their compilations look pale and
washed out by contrast. The new au-
tumn gowns with their gay tartans
and their rich warm dahlia and fawn
tones, their Spanish browns and their
deep currant reds, go well with these
brilliant compilations. Russian green,
deep Danish blue and the iridescent
goods that show red, violet. green and
gold are being made up in quantities.
Skirts are made full or scant, much
as their wearers desire. Overskirts
have increased in numbers and in their
pretensions. They are cut longer than
in the spring, reaching nearly or quite
to the bottom of the gown. Sometimes
they are draped, sometimes left to
hang square and slashed. When en-
ployed, they carry most of the trim
ming, the underskirt being finished in
a majority of cases with a plain hem.
Short Louis Quinze jackets are fight
ing for the place of the Eton and the
bolero. BasqueS are made with belts
almost universally. The Russian
blouse remains the best-liked fancy
bodice, and of bodices in general it
may be said that the more unexpected
their effects the more successful they
are considered. The one-sided arrange
ment, with the seam upon the left
shoulder, bids fair to last another sea-
son.

was the most notable piece of head
gear. 1t was trimmed with a long
scarf of black gauze, draped lightly
in veil fashion, while sweeping over it

plumes. The brim Of this hat was
lined with pale pink chiffon and had
a knot of pink roses with dark green
foliage behind.
Among the models of prominent

ostrich feathers.

ELLEN 0SB0RN'S FASHION LETTER.
Skirts Are Full Scan Oveskits Increase Numbers and
Their PretenS0nS

New York, Sept PIT is curious how
suddenly a fashion takes the town. For
weeks it is in the newspapers and the
shop windows; then some bright af-
ternoon between three and four o'clock
one woman, the first to experiment
with t.. scuds nervously along Broad
way. Within half an hour every wo-
man in sight is parading the same idea
as serenely and unconsciously as If
she had been born and brought up in
the new collar or color or bonnet or
belt which few minutes earlier was
a dubious something offered but not
accepted, talked about but untried. By
dinner time the novelty is an old story
from the Battery to Spuyten Duyvil
and is spreading into the wilds of
Brooklyn.
This was the history of the side-fiare
hat. Up to a given day last week it
was an experiment of the milliners,
doomed in print but of uncertain for
tunes. When left the house that CIV
en- day I rubbed my eyes. 1 had gone
to sleep on fiat brims, 1 walked to a
world in which everything was turned
up on the left side. They are of bril-
liant colorings, these tilted autumn
hats; some of felt and some of warm,
dark straws. A strong green with red
tones is a favorite shade; it goes by
the name of maple leaf green. Deep
crimson is almost as popular and is
combined with dove grey or with
green. A vivid cornfower blue makes
an emphatic note in every group of
women, and when it is not next neigh
Dor to white poppies it is apt to be
making friends with ivy leaves and
berries. The hat that is not adorned
with great 'panache'' Of ostrich
plumes, six or seven in a bunch, makes
