Quick Work Done In Handling the Frait
on the New York Wharf.


Quick Work Done In Handling the Fruit
on the New York Wharf.
The pineapple season lasts from about
March 1 to about Aug. 1. New York
gets pineapples from the Florida keys,
from tho West Indies and from the Ba-
hamas. Some come in steamers, some
in sailing vessels. Pineapples from Ha-
vana by steamer are brought in barrels
and crates Pineapples brought in sail
ing vessels are brought mostly in bulk
not thrown in loosely, however, but
snugly slowed, so that as many as pos
sible may be got into q vessel.
On the wharfs here pineapples
brought in bulk are handled with great
celebrity Men in the hold of the vessel
fill, bushel baskets with them and hand
thetbaskets up on deck, where they are
passed along and set up on the, string
piece of the wharf The trucks in which
they are to be carted away are backed
down handy. A box of suitable height,
and which is as long as the truck is
wide, is placed at the end Of the truck.
A.man standing near on the wharf lifts
thelbaszets from the stringpiece and
sets them up on this box. Two men
stand, lat the box, each with basket of
pineapples in front of him, to count the
pines and. throw them into the truck,
which. has racks at the sides; lengths of
board are placed across tho end as the
load rises. Two men stand in the truck
to level the fruit as it comes to them.
The two counters are experts, and they
work with great rapidity and steadiness,
keeping pineapples going all the time
Eachsman picks up two pineapples at a
time, one with each hand, and gives
them u toss into the truck, both men
counting as they go along, one after an
other, zone" two, tthree, four"
"fye," and SO on up, each count mean
ing two pineapples. When they strike
lone hundred, u, tho tallyman makes
straight chalk mark on tho end of the
truck !; that stands for 900 pineapples
While. he is making the chalk mark the
other counter keeps right on, and he may
have got up to 1.-TWO" or three" again,
| for Ii takes second or two to make the
chalk mark, but by that time tho tally
man is at it again Ginning in with
-four" and away they go together
again, counting up rapidly toward an
| other hundred. If man ON the load
| finds specked pine, no drops it over
| the side of the truck into basket that
stands there, and says: "One out. ;" The
| tallyman losses in one without count
ing, to keep the count good.
| As fast as the counters empty the
baskets they push them off the box, and
the man at the stringpiece sets up a full
one in its place and the counters keep
the pinoapples going without cessation.
| At the fifth hundred the tallyman makes
mark diagonally across the four he
has already made, in tho commonly
used method of tallying freight; but
these five marks here stand for /, 200
pineapples On double truck there are
usually carried from 1900 to 5000
pineapples; ON single truck, from
1000 to $500. New York Sun.

The Chinese Religion.

Chinese religion has never had the
puerilities, the animal cults, the crnel-
ties and fanaticism of other religions.
Like the Jews, the Chinese had very
vague ideas of future rewards and pun
ishments and of life after death. Their
ancestor cult had no Hydrologic motive
like that of India or Japan. The Chi
nese, like the jews and ancient Egyp-
tians, had the philosophic conception
that continuation of life lies not in the
immortality of the soul, but in the per-
petual remembrance of the righteous by
mankind. The Chinese could not perse-
we're with metaphysical problems, and
30 did not advance.
Confucius appeared at time when
the Chinese felt tho need of religion;
but the greatest of their religious re-
formers was Lao-tseu, who was born
about 804 b. c., or half century be-
fore Confucius. He introduced the word
Tao, way" for the idea of divinity,
which previously was confused with the
visible sky (Schang-ti). Tao is the ele-
ment from which everything comes and
to which everything returns. Lao-tseu
also taught that the departure of the
soul from the body was no disaster for
us. But he was too vague to be u con-
vincing reformer. Oonfucius was not an
original thinker like Lao tseu; he culled
what he liked from the older writer's,
and allowed people to believe what they
chose. When consulted, he spoke i'll an
oracular manner, and while satisfying
no one he offended nobody. Mature.

murder was child's play. But after the
first emotion of fear l felt perfectly
calm. In truth, felt as though fate

SO that could conquer him. 1 don't
know why felt thus; probably 1 ex-

collected as though he were out of reach

Ting as loudly as possible to mislead
the desperate in the box, left the little
office and walked across the floor Of the
freight part of the station. When inn
mediately in front of the box I sprang
at it with the fury of man fighting for
his life and overturned it. 1t fell to the
floor, top up, with n resounding crash,
Instantly / was astride the box driving
nails into the lid rs hard and fast as

carefully examined the box and found
that there was no danger of suffocating,
for at the upper end were number of
tiny perforations which freely admitted
air.
81 sat astride that box until my assist
ant arrived at Z O'Clock. 1t was long
and trying vigil, but the magnitude of
my victory buoyed me up My assistant
was almost too much amazed to speak
when told him of my capture. He
quickly went to the mines and told the
superintendent to hasten at once with
sufficient guard of men to the station
and take Grizzly Bill into custody. 1t
didn't take long to do this, and when
Bill was hauled by no gentle hands
from the box he was the angriest out
law ever captured. He fought like n
tiger, but it was of no use. The men
who had him captive knew how danger
GUS he was. He was securely bound and
later in the day taken to Pikeville,
where he was subsequently sentenced to
long term of imprisonment in an east
ern penitentiary

The su,tan,s Private Museum.

We entered building consisting of
one long room, filled with treasures.
This is the sultan's private museum.
Here are collected and beautifully ar
ranged all the presents that he has re-
ceived, as we'll as innumerable valuable
objects that belonged to some of his
predecessors. Countless clocks and
watches, inlaid armor, objects i'll jade,
baskets, wonderfully bound books, china
Of all sorts, pictures, miniatures, jew
eled ornaments of every kind, all SO ar
ranged in their cases that one could ex-
anime and enjoy them, a delightful
contrast to the confusion in which the
treasures of the old seraglio are heaped
together. One upright case contained
four dozen of the most perfect deep blue
Sevres plates, present from the EN-
peror Napoleon, SINK into velvet, "a on
each side of the stand. Each plato was
o picked and perfect specimen. The
right names were not always attached
to the objects, and we found n miniature
painting which we recognized as Lord
Palmerston marked as the prince con
sort.
We could have spent hours in exam
lining everything. but time was limited,
and we were taken on to the private
stables, still within the harem walls,
holding 10 of the most perfect Arabs,
used by the sultan for riding and driv-
ing in the park of Yildiz. They were
all white or gray. OF course we saw no
dogs anywhere-they are held of no
repute in the east; but was told the
sultan possesses peculiarly fine breed
of white Angora cats, to which he is
devoted, and whose progeny he some-
times gives to friends, but | saw none
of them. The only pet we saw was a
large cockatoo at the harem gate, who
uttered some unknown sounds--I sup
pose Turzish-as we passed. Long
