eUIoN BARRIL,S BURGLAR.
BnrTiI Threatened Rim With blank Cartridges

Blank cartridges are poor ammunition with
which to hunt burglars. The burglar may have
the other kind. The burglar whom young Guion
Barril tackled early yesterday morning in the
Barril apartments at 43s Lexington avenue
had the latter kind. while the young mans car
triiscs were all noise and no effect. That Is
why the burglar got away unhurt and why Bar

PUNCHED ONIONS.
Practically No Longer sold Here. but Exported
In Large Quantities

Onions were formerly very commonly sold In
strings or punches as well as in bulk. The
onions were tied by a turn OF twine around
their stems TO lunches OF straw. In punching
onions the largest were placed at the bottom.
and they were graduated in size up to the very
small ones AZ the top. making a slender cone OF
onions, with the straw. to which they were tied,
projecting above the top. serving as Il handle
for the bunch. The onions were usually nicely
graded and punched trinity. Forty years and
more ago onions put up in this manner were a
common sight In the grocery stores. Now they
are rarely seen hereabouts in that form, and
almost without exception are sold loose. Onions
are still punched in large quantities for export.
American onions are exported to all the Span
fish American countries. the West indies.
Mexico, and South America. and about half the
onions exported go out in punches packed rather
loosely in barrels and crates. One New York

lunches OF onions packed In this manner an

SO long as The old. time bunchs, and 1t contains
symmetrical monner. and with the wisps OF
straw rising above the top. Bunch onions as
now put mp run a pound and 4 hall TO two
punched are mostly red. which are preferred in
the countries to which they are, exported.
Bunch onions are now raised largely on Long
Island, and a great many are raised also in
Rhode Island and In Connecticut. Care is taken
In selecting them 20 preserve, the stem. by
which the onion is bound TO the straw. The
hunchinG Il usually done on the farms where
the onions are raised. but sometimes, the supply
OF punching onions II not equal to the drmnnd.
and it Is then supplemented from other stock
and the b%unclers are brought to the city and

tirely by hand: An expert huncher can put
up from 800 to 800 punches a lay.

Mr.. Hershaw. In commenting on these tables,

important fact must not be lost sight or that tho
death rate from this cause has constantly de.
creased in all OF the cities except Charleston.
and Ia Charleston the death rate Tor tho period
1S9O-94 is lower than for the period 1881 81.
There Is reason. however, for great concern and
