design was the result of his long study of the best types of merchant and naval vessels of all nations, and in his yacht he sought to combine the best elements of all as to strength, speed and beauty of line and propoF- tions, besides originating several novel features designed to add to her at- tractiveness as purely pleasure craft She was. of the type later known as the hermaphrodite brig. and was eighty-three feet in length. The ves- sel cost $50,000, and $10,OOO more was spent on furnishings which included b1rdseye maple and mahogany, uphol- stered with brocade in the style of the First Empire. Everything about her was first class, down to the minutest details. The launching was a famous ceremony in Salem, where the shippers and tars gazed upon the yacht and her appointments with an awe which was not unmixed with contempt They looked upon Capt. George Crownin- shield as "dude," for he was always clad in the most fashionable garb, and his ship as dude" of the seas.
 On a March day in 1877 Captain George sailed away from India wharf on the first transatlantic voyage of an American yacht. Those on board were the owner; his cousin, the captain; Benjamin Crowninshield, Jr, two mates, clerk, ten able seamen, and four apprentice boys. The voyage was made in safety, and in due time Cleo patra's Barge dropped anchor St Leg Torn. Capt. George weRt ashore there and made a trip to Florence, which was rumored to have some connection with his plot to rescue Napoleon. Next he sailed to lba, where Capt. Crown inshield was received by M. Vantini, who had been Napoleon's chamberlain.
 After leaving Elba the yacht pro- ceeded to Gibraltar. Up to that time the log had been written up daily but after that there were only three en- tries until Cleopatra's Barge returned to Salem. When the ship left Gibral- tar two of Napoleon's old officers were on board, which added to the general suspicion prevailing in both Europe ing "Gib' on Sept. 3, the yacht reach : ed Cape Cod on Oct 2, and the time made proves that no attempt was made to go to St. Helena. It was generally believed that British warships had had something to do with the quick time made across the Atlantic, and that the voyage had been of the nature of a flight

The Passing Of Lady Byzantine.

ne Passing OF Lazy 69iantine.
Chicago News: Lady Byzantine,
the hen that was sold about year ago
for a fabulous sum that the lay mind
cannot grasp--the lay mind OF these
tight times becoming confused when
there are more than three ciphers-
has gone to her reward, whatever that
may be.
Laymen may dimly comprehend the
value OF Lady Byzantine when they
consider that her eggs sold for SO
apiece and that she laid 315 eggs in
one year. Next to the famous goose
that laid golden eggs. she was the
worlds greatest oviparous producer
of wealth. In passing it should be re-
merked that a layman is not neces-
sarily the owner Of poultry farm.
Lady Byzantine is dead. Her life is
a lesson in the value Of industry and
thrift. Her first owner, who develop
ed her talents, sold her for hand
some fortune. Her buyer lost her too
soon to realize upon his investment.
Between the two, however, there Is
a lesson, or there ought to be, constr
ering the many ciphers.
AS for what Lady Byzantine got out
of it, that is another story. immaterial.
impertinent and ungermaine. as the
corporation lawyers say. Still, one
can not but picture that excellent crea-
ture in he minds eye as a raher tough
old hen that died natural death and
was therefore, not even good for a
chicken stew.

HIGH RECORD
RAIL TRAFFIC
6usiness With Western Roads 10 at
High Point, So Reports Will
Show.

Business with western railroads is
the largest that has ever been handled
at any period. A feature is the large
movement of coal from the mines in
Illinois particularly. The Burlington
is averaging 1000 cars of coal a day.
and the Northwestern nearly as much,
vet the west il facing coal famine.
What will happen when the weather is
cold and consumption of coal is heavy
is unpleasant to contemplate.
There is a scarcity of all kinds OF
cars. The movement of grain is
showing heavy increases on leading
lines: the Northwestern alone gained
over 5000 cars above last years heavy
traffic SO far this month. It's ore bust
ness is 5000 tons larger than last year.
Heavy gains are also shown in miscel-
laneous freight and in merchandise on
the various roads, with increases run
ming up to 1000 cars.
Passenger business is improving, a
noticeable feature being the increase
in local business. particularly in the
southwest and central west. The
transcontinental travel is not as
heavy as last year. but the increase
in the local business is relatively
more profitable than the other.
Business conditions are excellent.
Farmers are getting big prices for
everything they have to sell, and
there is a good feeling in all sections
Grain deliveries at Chicago last
week increased ga per cent over the
previous week, 46 per cent over last
wear. and were 226 per cent above

PUTTING GARDEN
IN WINTER TRIM
Suggestions for Banking Up veee
tables for Cold Weather
are Made.

Aside from cleaning up the garden
there are other fall activities that
the home gardener should carry on
both before and after the advent of
frost. Important among these is the
storage of root crops. No care need
be taken of satisfy, or oyster plant,
and parsnips, as they are best left in
the ground to be gathered as needed.
Celery, also. may be left out of doors.
IL should be be nked high with earth
and the tops covered with straw.
Spinach may be left out of doors, and
this also should be covered with
straw.
Carrots and beets, however, should
be taken up after the first frost and
stored in frost-proof cellar. If the
available cellar has a furnace in 1t.
the roots should be stored IL possible
in a portion of the underground room
which is partitioned off and provided
with window. This should be kept
open except IN unusually cold wealth
er. II the cellar is normally damp
the beets and carrots may be spread
out like potatoes. In dry cellars,
however, it Is best to pack the roots
in sand, which may be kept slightly
moist.
When there is danger Of severe
frost the fully grown but green to-
matoes still on the vines and those
partially ripened should be picked
and placed in a row on the ground or
lawn, and covered with straw or
leaves. This covering should be re-
mived while the sun is shining If the
temperature is not too low. 1t should
be replaced again keach night and
kept on during inclement weather.
Under such treatment the fruits will
gradually ripen.
After frost, but before freezing sets
in, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels
sprouts should be removed from the
garden. The cabbage heads should
be cut and either stored uncovered in
the cellar or placed on grass out of
doors and covered with straw. Cauli-
flower and Brussels sprouts plants
may be lifted and set closely in
boxes Of soil il the cellar, being pre-
served in this way for many weeks.
Preparation for winter should not
begin for the strawberry bed until
after the ground has been frozen
hard. The plants should then be
covered over with straw, manure rich
in straw, pine needles and small
boughs, or tree leaves. Leaves are
less desirable than the other mulch
ing materials, since they pack very
closely.
Those portions Of the garden not
occupied by perennial or winter crops
should be spaded or plowed and left
rough during the winter. The heavier
the soil of the garden the more ad-
vantageous will such treatment
prove.
