Bananas ar Retail,

Few people, as they invest small sums
IN the purchase of bananas, have any
definite idea of the growth of the trade
in that fruit in the last twenty years,
and the still more rapid growth within
the last five. They know that more
bananas are being brought into the
market and sold than a short time ago
but those who have been longest in the
business remember chat about a score
of years ago three punches of the fruit
would supply the Cleveland market.
Bananas were offered for sale at as
many confectionery stores, but the gem
eral public did not freely indulge in the
fruit, as the usual retail price at that
time was 81 per dozen. A little later
persons doing q jobbing trade became
more venturesome and would buy -
case" at time. each containing five
lunches, with which to supply custom
ers who wished to sell at retail. Still
later they ventured to order two cases
and as time passed orders were sent
east for five and ten case lots, but it was
not until about five years ago that car
loads were ordered containing between
six and seven hundred punches each.
This is now the almost uniform man.
ner in which the bananas are ordered
in this city, and in this way single
firm has disposed of fifty carloads since
last May, and another firm, during the
time when they are in the greatest de-
mand-gcnerally in April, May, and
June-has handled as high as eight car
loads per week.
The sales for these cars are not. how.
ever, entirely for the retail trade in the
City. Liberal shipments are made to
adjoining towns. During the yeara
when wholesale dealers bought their ba-
nanas in cases very few grocerymen,
and only those who traded with the
weather. people of the city, ventured to
keep them on sale. Now no frst-class
grocery stock is complete without ba-
nanas in season. The season is near at
hand, and will last through the spring
and summer, but is less active after the
season of home grown strawberries and
other small fruits have arrived. Anoth-
er interesting fact about this fruit is the
large amount of it sought and sold by
the swarthy men of sunny Italy. As
they pass the doors of the. people OF
Cleveland with their baskets on their |
backs they are generally regarded as a |
class of the smallest retail dealers, |
whereas they are one of the largest
classes of buyers in this line. In his
buying the Italian vender usually Joins
forces with several more of his
and one man buys for an
entire gang often making purchase of
three or four hundred punches, and fire.
quently one or more gangs join forces
and buy a carload of seven hundred
punches. A large share of the bananas
sold in this market come from Jamaica,
but the finest, in years past, have been
from Aspinwall. Central America. With
in little more than year much fine
fruit has come from Port Limon, Ba-
racoa, and other Central American
Leader.

Over Indulgence of Appetite.

N. Y. Tribune: The many items in
culcating moderation are not too
many. DR.. Johnson's adviceis worthy
OF weekly reading by those who begin
to teel where the stomach lies, until
they cease distressing it. So long as
drug-stores have such Geplorably
large custom they supply proof of the
amount OF suffering and loss brought
on by voluntary over-indulgence.
Professor Newman, who feels light as
q boy at over eighty and who
has scarcely changed any in weight
during fifty years is not n solitary ex-
ample OF long life and good feelings
from wise living. But the silly ones
who make themselves sick vastly out
number the wise and prudent.
The countless pains and distresses
that come OF overeating are in great
part chargeable to the mistaken kind
ness and liberality OF hospitable host.
esses. 1t is an instinct with woman
to feed all around her, and through
indulgence of that instinct is led to
make dishes too rich, to press them
on the eaters, and to seduce with plate
fuls OF the most appetizing and prob
ably the most indigestible item of her
menu into further eating wnen already
a full meal has been eaten. 1t is botl
sinful and unwise to offer such temp
tations. The diner who is led on tc
excess by pleasant flavoring, but who
suffers from Indigestion later, will sooI
cease to appreciate his providers kind
ness, but the stomach that feels cas-.
after eating simple, tasteful food vii

Cause and Cure Of SPAWN.

SPAWN, says DR.. Dadd, consists OF
an exostosis OF the hook, commonly
located on the inner side, whereby
bones before movable become cement
ed and fixed together, and which is
often productive of liberation OF the
articular surfaces OF one or more OF
the Joints OF the hook. Sometimes,
however, SPAWN makes its appearance
on the anterior or front part Of the
hook, and sometimes there is no en-
largement to be discovered. 1t is
caused by too great strain on the
hook, and is common among race and
cart horses. Improper shoeing, by
throwing the strain unevenly on the
sides OF the foot, is believed to induce
the disease. Commonly, when a horse
is suffering from this disease, a hard
tumor OF halfthe size OF a walnut may
be felt on the hook, but the disease
may be present, with the accompany
ing lameness, without any detachable
tumor. After the disease has unmis-
takably developeditsel strictly speak
ing according to the best authorities)
there is no cure, but by rest and
proper care many animals have been
freed from the lamencss and sensible
ity that always accompanies 1t.
Blisters, burning and setons are usec
by veterinarians to remove the swell
ings, often with success.
