Some Points and Incidents Regarding the
Trade An Them.
'I wouldn't exactly say remarked
a manufacturer, ''that people can get
along as well with artificial limbs as
they can with artificial teeth, but the
art of industry is fast approaching that
stage of perfection. Men and women
can eat and drink, play the violin,
write, and do various kinds of light
work with artificial arms and hands,
and they can dance, skate and run
with artificial legs.
1.-THE proportion of those whose mis-
fortunes require the use of artificial
limbs is about one in 10000 of the pop
ulation. Of these, from twenty-five to
thirty per cent. are women. Of the
limbs lost, the legs are in the large ma
jority-about seyenty-five per cent.

sion that the war made most OF the
cripples now living. The fact is that
for one person who lost a limb in the
war, twenty to twenty-four lost theirs
through some accident on the railways,
or III some other manner entirely dis
connected from warfare. The railroad
is the great source of our business,
probably one-half the cases that come
to us being attributable to railway ac-
cidents.'
Il suppose, " said the reporter, "that
YOU meea with some queer incidents in
the course Of your business?"
''Yes, remember customer coming
to me not long ago for his second arti-
fetal leo. He had worn the first for a
number Of Years. He said he was in
much trouble of mind. He was going
to get married, and had been counting
his intended for II year and half, and
she did not know but that he was en-
tirely sound. The question in his mind
was whether to tell her before, or wait
until after marriage. | advised him to
inform her beforehand, as otherwise
she might have legal ground to apply
for an annulment of the marriage on
the ground of deception. He told me
afterward that he followed my ad-
vice, and the lady concluded that she
loved him none the less on account
of his misfortune. Another singular
incident, but of different character,
was in connection with the collision
of two steamers, one of which had just
started from this port for Europe, and
had TO put back again on account of
the damage. None of the passengers
were injured by the accident, and
friend jokingly remarked in my pres
ence that [ would, no doubt, be greatly
disappointed that there was no loss OF
limb, as | would therefore get no
revenue from the occurrence. Strangely
enough, the day following man from
Ohio walked into my Office and said
that he wanted an artificial leg. He
related that he had been a passenger
on the steamer which had to put back
on account of the collision, having
started from his home in Ohio to paw
a visit to Europe. When the vessel re-
turned to port he concluded, on refec-
ton, to give up his European trip and
to expend the money he had reserved
for the trip in providing himself with a
new artificial leg in place of the one
which he then wore. So it seems that
the collision of those two steamers
brought business after ALL"
''Who supply limbs for the soldiers?"
''The business is distributed among
different manufactures, nearly, if not,
all in the large cities of the Atlantic
coast. No Union soldier who has lost
a limb in the war need be without an
artificial one. Northern manufacturers
also supply a good many artificial limbs
to Confederate veterans, on the orders
of States of the South that have made
provision for the manned of the Lost
Cause; but a great many of the South
ern veterans are unprovided, for the
reason that the appropriations for their
relief are not sufficiently frequent and
adequate"
"Of private cases, do the greater
number come from the city or coun-
try?'
II think the danger of city and coun-
try life are about even, so far as tbs
artificial limb trade is an indicator.

The present prospect for a large peach
crop on the Peninsula being good, and above
the average, the experience Of the past year
and some suggestions in regard to how the
evaporated will have to be handled this year
to reap the best result, may not be out Of
place, and also of interest to many readers OF
your valuable and instructive paper.
In 1857 the Peninsula crop was very small
compared with former years The total of
evaporated being not over 6oo,o pounds;
tile evaporators believed they had all the
fruit there was in the country except what
hfHe California could produce, held it at
very high prices, and dealers feeling conf
dent 1t would be wanted without regard to
the price paid the extreme figures, expecting
to realize fair profit; they must have the
fruit-they got it-some Of them have ityet,
and the profit never appeared. In its stead,
however, California with her supposed IiffIe
productions, came in with delicious, ripe
fruit as big as Clam shells, " at prices lower
for pared than the Peninsular evaporators
sold their second grade at, and from IL to
? cents less for impaired Up to this time,
sales Of Peninsula fruit had been very limi-
ted, owing to the extreme high price; but
when the California made its appearance,
dealers turned their attention to il, with quail
ity and price both in its favor. The demand
for the Peninsula fruit was entirely cut off
and nc inducement, either in price or terms
could get the trade back to it; although at
fair prices earlier, every pound Of the PENN
sula production could have been sold before
the California made its appearance. While
California fruit has moved freely under a fair
market, closing at within five to ten per cent.
Of tile opening prices Of last November, and
all the receipts are well cleaned up, fully
half of the Peninsula crop is yet on hand,
and prices 80 per cent less than the opening
prices Of last November
A repetition Of the past can and must be
lvoided this year and full average crop of
Peninsula fruit be handled promptly at fair
prices, if the evaporators will act on the fol- |
owing suggestions:
California now reports prospects for
ight crop (do not speculate on this, which
AN not make its appearance before October
9th to November Ist, by which time the
fruit can all be marketed.
Owing to a large crop on TIE Peninsula, /
will be able to select larger. bet
er and riper fruit at prices low enough to
void using so much Of tile culls. Every |
vaporator should pack both pared and un-
'ared in twenty-five pound boxes, This is
IL item Of great preference by dealers, and is
trongly advised as a competitor of the Cali
'rnia, which is all packed in that size boxes.
The eyaporators of the Peninsula will be
lone to blame, ifwith large crop of good
uit, they do not regain the standing their
uit had in the market previous to 1887
gainst all competitors. Yours, etc,
