SHIPPING PINEAPPLEs.
Modern Changes In the Methods Elm
 ployed.

From the New York Sun.
 In old times all the pineapples that game to this port were brought in the holds of sailing vessels in bulk, and such cargoes are still received here from the Bahamas and some from Cuba, but by far the larger proportions of the pineap- pies received here now come by steamer, and in some form of package.
 Those received by steamer from out Side the United States come principally fin barrels. When steam shipments of pineapples were first begun 1t took five days to bring them from Cuba. Now they are brought in fast ships In two days and a half
 When Florida few years ago began shipping pineapples in large quantities and it ships now very large quantities, with it's production steadily increasing 1t adopted as a shipping package crate which from it's capacity was called a barrel crate. Florida shippers brought into use later a smaller crate called a half crate, which to a great extent has superseded the barrel crate, and has now, in fact, become the standard.
 This crate, which Is something like an elongated orange box, Is about BE feet in length, with a cross section of about 12x15 inches, and like an orange box, Il IS ulNloed Into two parts Dy partltlon placed midway of It's length.
 The spaces between the slats of the crate are sufficient to give anpie ventil- ation. These crates will hold from ten to forty-eight pines. In this package ev- cry pine is separately wrapped in paper The number of pines in the package is marked on 1t, as the number of oranges in @ box is marked on it.
 The crate makes good storage of espe- cial importance in rail shipments, and a good many Florida pineapples are now shipped by rail. It is a package that is easy to handle. slightly in appearance, and with its close sortings, highly mer- chantable. Crates are now used to some extent in shipping Cuban pines, with the use of them in that trade increasing.

The Evolution Of the Laundry.


One of the best examples of the transit
ton of a household occupation from
home to factory-using factory in its
technical sense-is shown in the evolution
OF the modern laundry. Established
primarily by man for man, they have
gradually extended their field of service
until it includes a large amount of fam
lily washing Steam. and more recently
electricity, have been used for the motor
power, and the number OF persons en-
pioyed Is constantly decreasing. The first
steam laundry was put up in 1865: too day
there are thousands of them all over the
world New York has Its two thousand
Chinese laundrtes and yet supports six
hundred and fifty others. and Chicago
has over 1--WE hundred steam laundries.
The making of laundry machinery is
now an industry of Importance In 1850
there was not a piece of laundry machin-
cry in the world: to-day the sales each
year amount to millions OF dollars. From
the washooard. washt,Ib. wrinser. iron
and clothesine have been evolved the
cylinder washers-in which the clothes
are rotated in hot suds until cleai-the
characteristic which the clothes are
dried by having the water drawn out by
the centrifugal force-the uangle and
other ironing machines: while In the dry
ing room the patent equipment with
spring hooks and bars saves time and
