This was translated into another Ian

so on until dozen versions had beer

read as follows:

ship the peaches direct from Georgia TO
New York in ventilated cars, but this met
with small success while Mr.. Winburn
notes that in 1881 "the surprising prices
obtained for the refrigerated fruit damp
ened the enthusiasm prevailing the pre-
vious year for ventilated cars and caus-
ed a reversion i'm favor of the refrigera-
tion method. The year is particularly re-
membered I'm horticultural circles as be-
ing the first the Elberta peach was ex-
hibited. IT is today the largest planted
and most popular i'm the United States"
IL was in 1883 that the first refrigera-
tor car built especially for this purpose
entered the field and the transportation
committee Of the Horticultural Society
gave great credit TO the Central Railroad
and others for their foresight and public
spirit in inducing capitalists "to invest
large sums in building refrigerator cars
and steamship refrigerators and have
contracted TO supply refrigerator trans
portation for five years on these lines.
Thus it is seen the. exclusive contract
came simultaneously with the private
cars as far back as 1883. The refrigerator
cars grew in favor i'm 1884 and 1885 until
they were well established in 1889.
Among the refrigerator lines operating
on the Central Railroad in 1895 the prin-
cipal ones were the California Fruit
Transportation Company, International
Fruit Dealers Despatch. California Fruit
Express. American Refrigerator Transit
Company and the Armour Car Lines. Mr.
Winburn then draws picture Of the
conditions existing under competition and
this at a time when the crop was less
than 500 cars as compared with five times
that many now.

Even at the risk Of being tedious
cannot forbear to observe that Mr.. Win
burns official statement Of which he
kindly furnished your correspondent, a

1hat the car lines secure such exclusive
contracts by taking the railroads by the
throat and compelling them to accept
them. and does this not by conclusions
or opinions. but by the recital Of facts.
It also shows that instead of fastening
on full grown industry and fattening on
IT the refrigerator car grew along with
the industry and the two are mutually de-
pendent on each other for success and
profits.
Finally. it casts some light on the bold
statement made by the attorneys before
the Commission that the self-interests
of the car lines and the railroads would
serve to keep the rates down to the low
est point compatible with the best service
for both tho railroads and the car lines
are after the most business possible just

The e..l Adri.nn. L.couvreur.

The great success of the new Italian
opera. "Adrienne L~ecouvreur,' has set
a good many people wondering
whether the actress who is its heroine.
tas she is the heroine Of the French
play called by her rame) yer really

seventeenth century. Che charmed the
contemporaries of Louis XIV. and
particularly the famous Prince Maui

wars (Which then went on pretty con
tinuously) and ray her flying visits in
Paris. Unfortunately the duchess of
Bouillon. a very great lady, indeed,
was also fond of Maurice. So. when
one day Adrienne suddenly died. her
friends all limited that the duchess had
something to do with her death. It
was W. proved. but there is no
doubt but that Adrienne died very
Don after receiving some flowers
from her gra-e. Were those flowers
poisoned. 1t is safe to say that a
great duchess would not have thought
much in those days of removing a
rival II the rival happened to be a
mere actress. Everybody despised
actresses then. But Adrienne has her
triumph over tee duchess now. She is
regarded as q charming martyr to
love. while the duchess universally Is

Floral Clock.

Many flowers show a susceptibility
to changing conditions Of light and
weather which make them most inter-
esting. This phenomenon has been
utilized by an Ohio landscape garden
er to form a unique decoration to the
grounds of the Rockefeller country
place at Tarrytown. This is a flower
bed which eau be used as q clock. The
led is circular and divided into twelve
parts. Each contains a figure com
posed of a flower which opens or
closes at the corresponding hour. Thus
the two space is occupied by the II

p. m. precisely. The hands are sta.
tionary. of course, and are composed
of the common yellow %dandelion, which
opens at half past 8 and closes at half
past 8 p. M, and point to arrangements
of flowers representing these figures.
Among the flowers used are the snow
thistle, which opens at 5 4. m. and
closes at 4 p. n. The blue chicory.

Toy Of E~nsiand's King.
When as a girl Amelie de France.
now Queen of Portugal. first visited
Windsor Cast e. the mystic jeweled
bird which was taken from the throne
OF Ttppoo Sa,ib and presented by the
East India Company to George ILL.,,
was the object of her profoundest ad-
miratton. In fact. 1t fascinated her ro-
mantle soul. and Queen Victoria, who
mad a strong strain Of romance in her
nature. quite understood her young
guests feeling, so she ordered the
bird to be taken to the princess apart
ment. In order that a sketch might
be made Of the treasure. The first
thing the Queen Of Portugal asked
for the night she entered the pan
quoting hall on the Kings arm and
saw the blaze Of the celebrated gold
plate upon the buffet, was this jeweled
bird! His majesty Immediately or
dered that 1t should be placed upon
the table in front of the Queen. that
h might gaze upon II at her leisure.
There are many legends woven
about that bird. A London journal
says the Hindoos call 1t "Uma." and
they say that whoever owns Una
must reign over India. It Is supposed
to have the gift of Iocomotion. and it
alights upon the head Of whatsoever 1t
endows with royal power. 1t is about
twelve inches long. and is shaped like
a pigeon with an exaggerated tail.
rubies. brilliants. emeralds and pearls
are sewn about tie %quivering feathers
of f1lagree gold work; it holds a price
less ruby in its beak. and an emerald
of great size and luster hangs from
its breast. The bird shares with the
kohinoor the superstitious regard of
the Hindoos. While the Una folds its
wings in the castle on the Thames,
and while the Kohinoor blazes in the
English crown. there is nothing else
to do but be as good subjects Of King
edward as may be. 1t Is the will OF

OF Death" the auto is raised to the
elevated platform by means of a wire
cable. This is done to afford the spec
tatOrs an opportunity to see the ma
chine and to study its construction.
When the automobile has been placed
on its elevated pedestal the automo-
bilist ascends, takes her seat, grasps
the levers and prepares for her thrill
ing flight. No unnecessary time is
consumed in the preparations. The
suspense is not prolonged. Almost
before the crowd has neryed itself
for the ordeal the word is given and
the auto starts upon its thrilling jour
ney.
For two-thirds of its course the
automobile is running right side up.
But at the top OF the loop there is a
vacant space forty-ive feet across.
Just before the machine gets here it
is turned upside down by following
the curve of the loop.
Across the yawning chasm the auto
leaps. 1t is upside down. Mile. Maui

seventeen, had a most unfortunate ex-
perience this afternoon while exercis-
Ing his profession.
A crowd had assembled around a
fallen horse In the Place d'Italie, and
Hugon saw a lady whose bullying peck
cts offered all kinds of tempting pos
sibilities. Without further ado he
deftly introduced his hand. but In
stead Of grasping the expected purse,
found his finger securely caught In q
new mole trap which the lady had
just purchased. With Spartan-like
heroism he uttered no cry. but tried
to withdraw his hand. The lady; how
ever, became conscious that something
was wrong, and Hugon was seized by
the bystanders and handed over to the
police. The latter took him to the
