Emimous Qnaitities ImportOu Inlo New York Every Year , The BumnciB Constantly Increasing , but the Profit * very Uncertain Some Statistics ot the Trade. N , Y. Tlrnw. If all the foreign green fiult Imported into Ihls city dating the pwt year oould bo piled up in n pyramid In the Oily Ball Patk It would simply stun the oltlzou who occwionally buys a batnna Irom one of the many ttinda that line the tide- walk , or takes a few fresh gropes for deeaorU E ch year the amount of frntt landed at thr * peon Increase largely , bat it ia not all the ftult that la shipped , nor does It all find ft market. The trade IB a precarious one , and the Importers do not make as much money as would naturally bo supposed. The successful merchant it the ono who o n stand the npa and downs of the trade and Is prepared to moot heavy losses. Yet the number of now firms springing tip In the city la moro than pro portionate to the Incroaeo In the amount of ftuit brought in. The fact of tha un certainty of the trade dee > not soooi to dolor young mon without exporter ce from embaiklng In the business. One shipload may como into part In on excel lent condition and the fruit brln fair prices , netting n neat little sum to the Importer. Tlio next load may ba worth- lots en arrival , and the profit of the first Is wiped out in the lees on the second. The percentages In loss of ftult on the voyage are , however , much lots now than In the days of sailing vestoli- , and exper- innco in the time of cutting and method of bringlrg , of course , tend to make the locses lighter. But of late another cause has como In to lesson the chances of the importers. A glut in the matktt is not now uncommon , and toveral bit ; shiploads are hablo to nrrlro In town the same day. Green fruit will not keep , and a sacrifice bat to bo made in price to cot rid of the load. Moro fruit is con sequently sent into the interior. It has bein found practicable to thip large quantities by rail , and now How York supplies the north , whllo a good deal is sent on toward the west. New Orleans is the great supply market fcr the Treat , however , and many carluads are sent into the Mississippi Valley section and to Chicago on the arrival of fruit steamers Carloads of bananas have even been sent as far west as Omaha , arriving with the fruit in good shape. This branch of the business is increasing rapidly. J. H. Bosbwlck , the cuatoms inapeotor , who has charge of the fruit department in the Hew York eastern house , each year prepares a report of the amount ol green fruit imported Into tbia c > untrf Ills compilation for the year ending March 1 shows an increase la the princi pal varieties of fruit imported , except in oranges from thu Mediterranean , the falling off in that line of Importation being probably duo to the increased pro dnction of this fruit in the south , as well as the constantly growing supply from the West India Islands. The fruit from nearer homo is just as good and arrives in a much better condition. Although there has been a considerable increase lu the quantity of fruit brought into this port , the amount of revenue to the Cus toms department has fallen off. Thin IB due to the fact that the increase of im portation has boon of the frui's ' on the free list. The total value of the green fruit received in Now York by import i- tion during the past year amounts to $5- 067,851 , whllo the duties received aggre gated $690,882 41. The increase in value over 1883 Is 8332,404. with a de- create In customs duties of $54,482.33. If the books of the importers coald bo looked over their receipts would be found largely out of proportion to the increase in fruit. The past year has not been a very profitable one , and as In previous years many have hardly come out even. The Importers engaged in the trade with the West Indies. Central and South America , and the Mediterranean are re potted to have been loiers to the extent of many thousands of dollars. This loss is mainly attributed to the excessive 1m- porta ions of fruit , causing the supply to exceed the demand and , of course , bring ing about the depreciation In price. The condition of the fruit on airlyal has been better during the year than formerly , owing to the increased number of ateam- era ompUyad In the business. Of bana nas the importation frcm the Wtnt Indies , Central and South America , ac cording to Air. Bostwick's report , con sisted i f cargoes and parts of cargoes of 87 sailing vtesjls and 205 stearin rj. Of these SO cargoes ( .nd parts of cargoes aid 50 steamora wore from Barncjo , and comprised 007,756 b inches of red bananas , of which 151,038 bunches per ished ob the way. From Port Llraon 804693 bunchoi of yellow bananas w ro racolvod From Jamaica 290,123 bunches , from Poit Antonio 242 251 , from Poit Maria 158,041 , from Kingston 151,162 , from Montrg i Biy 89.80J , and from St. Ann's Bay 79,351 bunches , mating a total of 1,824,401 bunches of follow bananas , of which 291,918 bunches wore lost on the voyages , equal to 1G per cent. The yel low bananas imported show au increase of 1,177,884 bunchoj. There was a de crease of 4 sailing vessels and an Increase of 56 steamers In the trado. _ There wore cceivc-d 123,445 bunches 'more of the Batacoa red fruit .than during the pravi- ous year , and there was a decrease of 02 sailing vessels , with an Increase of 36 stosmtn. Since the advent of eteamera In the trade the bananas hare been received in much bettor condition. Still there Is danger of the bunches of green fruit be coming "cooked" on the passage to New York. The fruit all nu to cross the Gulf stream , and the steamer. ) ara hot. To prevent this fruit steamers are now being fitted up with improved systems of ventilation , and yccsols of greater speed are being built for the trade. There is no reason why the time of passage - ago from the Wett Indies should not be greatly shortened In this respect. Hith erto the fralt steamers have been of a clew pattern and exceedingly hot. The banauns liave been piled up beloir the dtoke , wlueo hardly a breath of wind could strike them. The loss on rtd ban anas has been 25 per cent daring the year. Besides the importations men * tionod ttirty-nlno cargoes of Aipinwal ! bananas were received , comprising 273- 404 hunches , of which 19 per cout per ished on the voyage. Of cocoinuts 17,211,888 , were Imported last year. Eight per cent constituted the lost , The Increase over 1883 amounted to 3,065,218 , nuti. As usual , Baricoa furnished the greatest quantity , 6.232- 085 nuts having ; teen totsod on bearcat at that port. San Bias , whonca the ben cf the ftult comes , furnished 3,116,220. Oocoanuts are the safest of the green fruits to impott , aa the losi ii compara * : lvoly light and ( ha profits usually fair. The growers , howevermake more money ; han the buyers , and ix cocoannt grove Is comldoredono of the best of Investments. To start a now coooanut walk Is slow- work , but when the trees begin to boar the prcft's accrue rapidly. From Medltonancan ports wore 10- ) f ivcd cirgoos and parts of cargoes of 260 English steamers , and S3 cargoes by sailing vessels of oranges and lemons. Of the former there were 042,841 boxes , and of lemons 1,316,868 boxen , or 228- 554.860 oranges and 263,372.600lomoni , The loeses were 37i per cent for the for mer and 17 per com for the latter. Tbo decrease of oranges over the preceding year was 34,700,100 , while 107,331,300 nero lemons were brought over. From West India ports and South and Central America 35,439,900 orano.es were Im- lotted , an Increase of 2,289,537 over .883. _ Tlio loss was 33J per cout. The importation of grapes was 57,500 mrrols from Mediterranean ports , with an average loss of 20 per cent , Corn ered with 1883 there was a decrease of iO.400 barrels. The growing liking for pineapples is shown by the Increased Importation of 30,978 plnos over the preceding year , the : oUl number received amount log to 3,301,696. This fruit came ia the larg est quantities from Havana , tlthouph all the West India ports furnished their inola. Besides the green pineapples. 515,880 cans of pineapples were received from Nassau. A good mauy of these wire afterward sent to England * Among the importations last yowwore 817 bariols ot apples from Belgium and 1,457 barrels from Nova Scotia. Of the taror fruits , star apples , custard apples , Kuavas , sapodiliaa , pomegranates , ana conda pears , pawpaws , and breadfruit were Imported in limited quantities. STOP THAT COUGH By using lr.

How Treasury Surplns IB Bal anced , Whenever a change takes p'nco In the ( filcoof United States strttasurcr the money in the vault cf the treasury build ing Is counted. It Is going on now , Treasurer Wyman having b on super seded by Mr Jordan. It Is a month'u job , and is done by three mon In this Instance Mr. Whitney , who represents the aectretary , and is an old hand at it ; Mr , Uaesell , who roi/rojonta the outgoing treasurer , and Mr. Smith , who sees that It 13 right on behalf of the now treasurer. There are also laborers who handle the begs. In all , about a hundred persons are engaged in the count. During Mr. Spinner's fine there wore two counts to B.O how It was inside the vault ? . Once five cents trero found which seemed to belong to the venerable Treasurer , and ho was 10 much richer af ter the money was paid ever to him. On another occasion as much as ten cents was found to be wantinz , which immed iately paid In , and so neither the old Treasurer nor the country suffered a local The cash that has been counted and la yet to be counted consists of $9,000,000 in silver dollars and $3,500,000 in gold coin , in all nearly 300 tons in weight. In addition there are about $175,000,000 in paper , most of the denomination of $5 md under , and $325,000,000 in bonds bold In security for tbo nationl bank cir culation. The hard money ia in bags containing 1,000 silver dollars weighing fifty-nine pounds throe cu ces , stamped "U. S. Treasury , 1,000 dollars , Washington , * D. 0. " There was a time when oaoh bag was dumped and each piece of money handled and counted. When the present count began a limited number of baga were emptied and the coin coanted , but that was suspended and the plan of weighing each bag adopted. The tcalo for this , of course , Is extot In its woiklng , the very slightest variation being de tected. The bags are brought from their resting places in the vaults by mon , who 5nd it no easy work , kept op for hours trgothor in an atmosphere that it Is al most stifling. When they have got through they can say what few mortals can , that they have handled aa many ten ) of money. As the baga are placed on the tcalo the three men constituting the commission pay attention. It is what they are there for.

It came from a northwesterly di rection and lasted roveral houri , blowing down trees and outhonroa , and in some places washed up corn and other seeds that had been recintly plintod. The next morning , at Canton and vicinity , a number of slrauge birds were found lying or silting on the ground , some oi them dead and others crippled from be ing hurled tgtinst tioes , houses nd other obstacles Again , others were found ap parently uninjured , although they teemed indisposed to fly any conslderibld dist ance. Upward of a hundred of thoce birds have been picked up , and is they are entire strangers to the locality , tbo supposition is that they were caught up on the aos coast by the wind and wafted this way. They are ceitiinly a species of sea fowl , and resemble the penguin , They are about the slza of a teal dactr , have a head like tbo game chicken and a bill like the crow. Their legs are abort and web-footed ; their wings are also short. Tbo feathers on the nook and baok are black and datk green , while those on the breast aio a bright silver gray. The birds have no tails , and the live ones were found either silting up or waddling , and made no effort to fly.

Cincinnati Knqnlrer. The first essential to a whelcsomo pro- laratlon of food is a clean , sunny and noil-aired kitchen. The latter condition depends on tbo means at hand of ventllt- : lon. All kitchens should have at least : wo windows , and these on opposite sides of the tocm , The sash should bo lowered and raised by moans of pulleyi. so that without any trouble they may ba lifted or drawn down from the top at a mo ment's notice. Without tbo proper neans of ventilation , and the nso ot hem , the imprisoned odors of thokitchea will penetrate and pollute the air of the wholo.honao. Among the worst of thoto is grease spilled on thoitivo , which instead if being wiped oil Immediately in left to mm off , egg shells , and oven bad OCRS , hr jwn by carole co < ka into the ash-pao. mdcrnoath the fir * , cooking onions , leans , turnips and cabbage , all comblno , o send their reeking odors through the 301180 , to bo absorbed by carpets , bed- Hog , curtains , nnd clothing. Every iioasekoepar is aware of the vile odor which is given cllbycottaln vegetables while cooking. Special efforts should bo made , particularly during the first stages of their boiling to kcop the kitchen well aired ; otherwise ono may go into the iparo chamber or parlor if it has not hap pened to bo open , and inhale the stale ndor of a dinner prepared three d ys be fore. fore."It "It is a fact too little understood , " raya an authoiity on the subject , "that watrr and other liquids and oven semi-fluid subslnscea , as stowed frnitu , juicy vege tables , etc. , have the power of absorbing foul gases from an impure atmosphere tg such an extent as to render them half poisonous , from which it follows that disagreeable cdors escaping from filthy dish-cloths , burning grtaso , musty old carpets , pans cf stale garbage , foul drain pipes , etc. , are not only breathed by the inmates of the honeo , but they are actual ly eaten I" KIT01IEN REFUSE. Vessels containing kitchen refuse should not stand in tbo kitchen ; 'indeed , in winter time there is no noecl of any Bach vessel. Everything may bo burned , and from a lanltary poiut of view should bo. It has boon done by a good-sized family during cum mer months , oven to the watermelon rinds and coflbo grounds. A great as sistance to such a dltposlt on of was'o ' matter Is a perforated pan cr a small- sized colander kept in the sink , into which poellngs of all kind ? , egg ehells and tea and caflbo grounds may bo emptied and there drain until the proper time , which should bo once a day , comes for their cremation. If other disposition cf the garbage mast be made there should be kept two buckets , using them alter nately and cleansing with a strorg alkali each ono as it Is emptied. In cither case such refuse as egg shells , spoiled eggs and all animal matter should bo con signed to the flames at once. The water in which vegetables of a strong odor have been boiling , aa beans , c&b- bago , etc. , should not bo emptied into the kitchen sink. If there are stationary washstands in the bouse , and if the plumbing Is not por- fect. the odor will aacond through the ' pipe's t ) the very upper stories of the bni'ding. ' Wherever there is an outlet there it will iuah , with accompanying foul gaseay which even a flushing of the pipes falls to remove. There is nothing sa deleterious to the good health of a household as imperfect drainage. With this disastrous foe to contend withono may as well teas hygienic rules to the winds. The drain pipes in most modern built houses , which are Intended to carry away foul matter , generally perform the double office of conducting back into our dwellings more po'sonous materials in the form of gases than they carry oat. ANOTHER ENEMY. Another enemy to that perfection of health and strength , which all women do sire and so few possess , it is bo found In bisemont kitchen. As a rule they abound In dampness , and as a natural result , in mold , that arch enemy to healthful surrounding * . It forces its Insidious wsy into cloiot and pantry , it marks with disease-breeding germs the jelllep , the fruits , the vegetables , the bread and fringes the pumpkin pie. It lines the carpet on the floor and creeps UD the wall , defacing paint and paper. Wo brnsh down the mold from the wall , wo breathe the mold from the closets many times In a day. an hour at a time whllo the periodical cleaning Is going on ; wo raise the carpet , and are almost strangled with its pungent odor. Wo get sick , wo have enro thrcnts.liavo head achesour ttrtng'h fails us , and wo never atom to aeo wbat is bask of It all. Any other impoi tent requirement In ttoprcpa ration of wholesome food is a perfectly clean , pure cel'ar in which to keep the every day supplies. It should extend under every foot of I hi houar , and have every facility for thorough ventilation and perfect drainage. Without this it ii an unfit place for storing food of any kind , moro especially butter , meat and milk , they all being absorbents , Even with thesa provisions a collar may be come a source of contamination to the wlula house. Decaying vogotab'os , soured fruits and tainted meats should not bo tolerated twenty-four hours. But wbat are thess compared to musty old boots and shoes plied up in one oorner , pieces of carpet and matting falling apart trom decay and mould , cant-off clothing , oven to hoop-skirts and bustles , all of which are known to have been found un derneath houses of pretentious appear- anc ; ?

Bill Nye in Chattanooga Tlmei , It may be premature , perhaps , but I desire to suggest to anyone who may bo contemplating the erection of a sammer residence for mo , as a slight testimonial of his hi h regard for my sterling worth and symmetrical ercutchcou , a testimonial menial moro suggestive of earnest admi ration and warm personal fiiondthlp than of gr at Intrinsic value , tto. , thai I hope ho will not construct it on the modern plan of mental hallucination and morbid dollrum tremens peculiar to re cent architecture , Of course , a man had ought not to look a gift house In the gtbo ! end , but if any friends don't ' know me any better thin to throw ia cdd win dow * that nobody else wanted , and then daub it up with colors that they have bought at auction and applied to the boose after dark with a shot RunI think It is time we had a better understanding , Such a structure does not come within cither of the three clashes of rcnaltsanco It is neither Florentine , Roman , nor Venetian , Any man can originate etich a style of architecture If ho will drink the right kind of whisky long enough , and then describe his ftollngs to an aman uensis. Imagine the tonaation that ono of these modern , tnwed off cottages would create a hundred years from now , If It should sarvlvo. But that Is Impos sible. The only ohootful feature of the whole matter Is that these rrcaturos cf a disordered inugtnation must soon piss away , and the br'ght ' sunlight of hard liorso-sonco shlno In through the shat tered dormers and gables and gnawed-off architecture of the average summer re sort. A fiiend of tnln , a few days ago , showed mo his now house with much pride. IIo asked mo what I thought of t. 1 told him I liked it first. rote. Then I wont homo and wept all night. It was my first falsehood. Tbo hnuso , taken as a whole , lookoi tome mo like a skating bk that had started out to make money and then suddenly changed its mind and icsolvod to become a tannery. Then ton foot higher it had lost all self respect and blossomed into a full-blown drunk and dltordorly sur rounded by the smokestack tf a foundry and with the bright future of thirty d ys ahead with the chain gacg , Tnat'fl the w > y it locked to mo. The roofs were made of little odds and ends of misfit rafteis and distorted shin gles that somebody had purchased at sheriffs sale , and the rooms nnd otalrs were giddy In the cxtromo. I went in and rambled around among the cross eyed staircases and other nlKhtmares till reaaon tottered on her throne. Then I came out and stood on the archltec ural wart called the sldo porch to get fresh air. This porch was painted a dnll red , and it had wooden rosotts at the corners that looked like a bran-new car buncle on the nose of a social wreck. Farther up on the demoral zed lumbci pile I saw , now and then , places whtre tbo workman's mind had wandered and ho had nailed on his clapboards wrong side up and then painted them with tint paris green that ho bad intended to use on something else. It wis an odd-look ing structure. Indeed. If my friend got all the material for nothing from people who had fragments cf paint and lumber left ever after they failed , and then If the workmonoon3tructed [ it nights for mental relaxation and IntollrcHnl repose , with out charge , of course the scheme was n financial success , but architecturally tbo honao ia a gross violation of the statutes In such casoi imdu and provided , nnd against the plcca and dignity of the state. There is a look of extreme poverty about the structure which a man might itruggln for years to acquire and then fall. No ono could look upon It wi lir < ut fooling a lu attache for the man who built the house , and probably struggled on year after year , building u Itttlo of it at a time as he could steal the lumber , getting a now workman each year , building u knob hero and a proturbanco there , put ting In a three cornet oi window at ono paint and a yellow tile or a wad of broken g'asa ' and other debris at another , patient ly filling in around the ranch with any old rubbish that other people had got through with , and pah.tlrg it as he went along , tiktng wbat was left. In the bottom of tno pots after hi a neighbors had painted their bobsleds or their tree boxes little favou thankfully received and then surmounting tha whole pile with a potpourri of rcof , a. grand farewell in- cubns of humps and hollows , for tbo rain to wander through and seek the different colla where the lunatics live who inhabit it. I knew of ono thing that I thought would improve the looks of his house. Ho eaked mo eagerly what it could bo. I said it would take a man of great cour age to do it for him. Ho said ho didn't rare for that. Ho would dp it himself. If it only needed ono thing he would never rest till ho had It , whatever tbat might bp. Then I told him tbat if he had a friend- ono ho could trust who would steel in there some night while the family were away , and scratch a match on the leg of his breecnes or on the breeches of any other gentleman who happened to be present , and hold it where it would Ignite the alleged house , and then remain thera to see the fire de partment did not meddle with it , ho would confer a great favor on ono who would cheerfully retsl'ate In kind on call.
