I sold them to Gilmartin. in New York, in 1859. People did not know what they were, and my little cargo of eleven hundrod bunches overstocked the market. I secured them in Baracoa, Cuba. Throe rears after that cargo was landed in Sew York the trade had developed so fast that it required twenty-five or thirty schooner-loads alone to supply Kew York.

Three large firms in New York monopolized the trade from Baracoa. They were Eneas Brothers, Douglass Brothers, and Pcarsall Brothers. In 1867 the trade had grown so enormously that I began to look around for other places to get bananas. 1 had been to ports in Jamaica after oranges in previous years, but never for bananas. In May.

cake bier Tbaa a fair Telroanr. And many other sympathetic saws, too of less perspicuous rhyme, could be given. Apropos of tbe original weather prophet, tbe ground-hog, there have beea many others wbo have bsd even less approximate success. Thus every year we have trotted out the man wbo foretells tbe snow-storms by tbe spots on a goota bone, and wbo prognosticates nvld or severe winters by tbe skius of onions, or the bask upon the corn. Observation shows that the agreement of tbese propb-eceis with the succeeding weather conditions is so rare, that it is not worth working on.

As for the scientist, who calculates tbe return of severe winters by TBE KZCTRKIXO OF StTX SPOT, be readers bis case safe by insisting upon a margin of three or four winters on either side of tbe possible maximum. In fact, tbe catling of tbe weather prophet is bnt slightly regaided in these days, bnt that a vast ileal of credulity cling to bint among the masses is shown by the acceptance of tbe prophet Wiggins' extravagant asscrtioa a year ago. For with tbe popnlaee, one success in prophecy will, outweigh a buudred failures. Murphy, tbe great weather almanac man. prophesied that January 20, Kki, would be the coldest day of tbe season.

Tbis it happened to be. Whereupon, tbongh this was almost the only correct gneca in that year's almanac, the profits of its sale reached 3,000, such was tbe general admiration of the lucky hit. But even DeMorgan wonld allow that in US5 guesses there was a chance that one, at least, should strike tbe trnth. Candlemas. Candlemas is a cbnreb festival held on tbo second of February.

It commemorates the purification of tbe Virgin and the observances to which it owes its name, vie, the lighting of candles, and, in tbe Catholic chnrcb, the consecration of tbe candles which are to lie need during tba year for church purposes, are said to bave an emblematic reference to tbe prophecy of Simeon that tbe child Jeans sbonld become "a light to lighten tbe Gentile." The institntion of this feast dates probably from tbe reign of Justinian, and the year 542 is sometimes fixed npon as that oi its first celebration. It is supposed to have grown out of the heatheo festivalsbeld in this month a view which is supported by the following considerations. Tbe word February (connected with tebmare) denotes purification in this month tbe purification ot the people took place the rites of the Lopercalia, which were celebrated on tbe 15th, included the lighting of candles, in allusion to those ased by Ceres, in her search for Proserpine and the origin of tbe other Christian feasts appear to have been similar. There is a tradition iu most parts of Europe to the effect that a fine Candlemas portends a severe winter. In Scotland they say.

If Candlemas is fair and clear Xbere'll be twa winters in a year. There are many other rhymes to tbe same effect. Tbe ground bog is the Americau marmot in Xew England it is called the woodchnck. In tbe Middle and Western States the lid day of Feb raary is called gronnd-bog day. Iu European folk-lore, tbe bear is the Candlemas weather prophet.

How the bog got into Europe and then came here as a scientific animal, we bave never known bnt we think our Western ground-hog is German. The gronnd-bog, acting for tbe son of Eniclaud and Scotland, decides the fate of tbe season. It is a fact that this ro dent passes tbe winter in bis burrow, in a lethargic state, and that be don't como ont of bis hole and stay ont until sprin time. Bnt the fiction is that the g. b.

comes ont on that day, and takes a at the world. If it is a bright day be will sec his shadow on tbe ground, ami taking fright at it, will run back into bis home and stay there. A fresh attack of winter will set in, and he will lie justified in the step be has taken. If it is cloudy, he will cast no shadow, take no fright, and stay out of his bole the winter i over. So we are surrounded ou al! sides by superstitions, many of them thousands of years old.

No one is free from them. But great progress has been made, thro science aud education, and many former deadly terrors of the human mind aie now nothing bnt jokes aud sources of amusement. Uiatcatka World. FASHIONABLE CRUELTY. (daughter of Birds for Ladies' Hats What Ur.

Bergh Thinks of It. Walking up Broadway one fine afternoon lately, a Tribune reporter noticed an unusually large display of prntnage; on ladies' hats. He saw the wings, plumes, beads, and bills of red yellow bird, robins and hummirjg-birds, and almost every variety of the feathered songster known, doing duty ia adorning tbe beadwear and trimmings of tbe enthusiastic devotees of fashion. In many Instances the birds that looked so pretty on these janntv haH were complete, and tbe staffed songster looked as gay as in life. In the windows of a millinery store, frequented mainly by wealthy ladies of fashion, the reporter saw many bats thus decorated.

With a hesitating step he went in, and wis met by a stout dame, who wore an elaborate dress dotted with dead fireflies. In life these tire-fires had undergone a squeezing process, which caused the phosphorus in them to exude, and has the effect of making a brilliant costume. The store-keeper informed the reporter that the fire-flies are imported from, warm countries, mainly the Indies, where they are prepared for market. She bad them for sale. One of the large counters was almost entirely covered with stuffed birds aad various parts of birds, ready to be placed on bats and trimmings, as the fancy or taste of tbe wearer might suggest.

"Are you not afraid of being arrested for cruelty?" asked tbe reporter, "No, indeed! We import them," replied the woman, looking the reporter out of countenance. "They would not arrest a woman?" she asked, or rather stated, in tbe most assuring manner. The reporter called on President Bergh, who said: "I have noticed lately that this cruel onslaught is increasing. There is a greater display of these little tortured creatures than ever before. I notice it in the fashionable stores in upper Broadwav, in cheap Sixth Avenue, and down in Eighth Avenue.

This wanton slaughter, flaying birds alive and tearing feathers from their quivering bodies is tbe most barbarous cruelty that can be practiced. It is an insult, to the civilization which we boast. The savages can do no more than that. If he does take a few feathers from a fowl it i the pride of a warrior that prompts hirrw not a merciless vanity, and be is therefore more excusable than our mora cultivated and refined people. The feathers are plucked from these living birds, and their limbs are torn from them while in the agonies of death, under tho impression that if the feathers are cured while the blood is warm they have a fresher and more lasting tint.

They may import a few," continued Mr. Bergh, "but the demand for bird has become so great of late that Jersey farmers are now trapping pigeons and raising squabs for this market, to be sacrificed to cruel fashion's whims. The squabs are killed when only a few weeks old and their plumage is fresh and bright. A stuffed squab sometimes looks more 'cunning on a hat than a full-fledged pigeon. Stuffed squirrels are also largely used.

What more ridiculous and yet suggestive of insatiable vanity than to see a couple of squirrels on a woman's hat? Thesc-squirrels are brought over from Jersey the Long Island bogs by boys who-sell thera at fifteen or twenty eent each. The young squirrels are generally selected for this bloody sacrifice because of their more desirable size. Cats were formerly used, but there was so much trouble in cutting their skim, down to the proper size that kittens have been substituted. "It seems that nothing not even tho most defenseless and prettiest of God's creatures the birds of the air. cast escape tbe merciless bands of fahiona slaves.

Fashion has snob an unlimited power that our women are not only deaf to mercy, but ruin heir own health and sacrifice their lives ro following its arbitrary decrees. A few years ago England, and even India, took steps to prevent the slaughter of birds. But America has done practically nothing. lf the wealthy ladies of fashion of this city should set the fashion by discountenancing this cruel practice, a great deal coild be accomplished. If the leaders of society would cease using ornaments that were obtained only through cruelty, there would soon be no demand for them.

The prevention of this slaughter rests with the leaders of fashion more than with this society, for the work is done so secretly that we can not trace the doers to their butcher-shops or get even the slightest evidence-We only see the results of their cruelty. So popular has this cruelty of plucking live animak become that five geese are picked under the impression that the make a better bed than if they were plucked after the goose was killed." W. T.

Bread, butter, coal, tea, coffee, potatoes, and the like on all these he makes a profit of 100 or 150 per cent. The continual mortgage on the poor man, salary at tbe close of the week by the claisis of the grocer, the uncompromising refusal to take a cent less than the amount shown on tbe pass-book, the threat to sell him oat if he won't pay, the neces sity of feeding his wife and children all combine to make hundreds of honest and hard-working men subject to the leeches who ding to their purses and grow fat and sleek.

Tbe cost of living to poor man Li considerably greater, in proportion, than that incurred by the richest railway magnate in the country, lie is taxed for everything. When the Government reduces the taxes on tea or coffee the consumer derives no advantage. Tbe price of the adulterated article is the same as that of the unadulterated. Tho extremely poor man may theoretically be the child of the rotate, and his interests aa carefully conserved as those of the East India any. bat in reality be is allowed to for himself and to defend buns-elf from all the enemies that his paltry income of two dollars or three dollars a day raises up against him.

Good potatoes can be bought at the market for $1.80 a barrel. They are not tbe highly cultivated vegetable tbe Early nose or such varieties bat they are big, wholesome potatoes thr.t contain fully as much nutriment as tbe more expensive kinds. Tbe price charged at the corner grocery for a small measure of ordinary potatoes i ten cents. As not a few of the measures are arranged with false bottoms, there is sometimes five of them to the peck. But allowing that the men are honest enough to give fair measure, the oost of a peck is forty cents, or SI.

60 a bushel, and $6.40 a barrel. This method of selling potatoes enables the grocer to obtain a profit of 225 per cent, on a single barrel of potatoes. The profit when the question of credit arises is considerably larger. Then the customer is required to pay fifteen cents a small measure, sixty cents a peck, $2.40 a bushel and $9.60 a barrel, or a modest gain to the dealer of 600 per cent. Corner grocerymen say that they would rather sell a barrel of potatoes than a ton of coal, notwithstanding the fact that they make 150 per cent on the Lit-, ter commodity.

When false measurements are reckoned, tbe enormous proSt on a single barrel of potatoes will become nearly double. The grocer in these stores does not deliver articles that are purchased. The cost of help is reduced to tbe minimum, and almost the only thing that cat into a coruer-grocery-man profits are the expenses of supporting his own family. Although it in a criminal offense to defraud persona by means of weights and measures of false quantities, the inspectors usually either wink at the violations of the law or are believed to be satisfied with a Utile present now and then. Coffee is capable of more adulteration than perhaps any other article of domestic consumption, without the fraud becoming manifest.

With this fact in view the groeeryman ues the facilities for cheating to their full extent and reaps the consequent profits. Lower grades of coffee only are sold in the low groceries. Mocha and Java seldom find their way among the very poor, simply because thev cost too much. To adulterate ground coffee, ponrdercj locust bark is used in combination with the well-known chicory. To increase the quantity of the bean coffi-e a small edible bean roasted aud mixed.

It is so like the coffee-bean in cLc, ghape am? color that it is diilicult to distinnVi the one from the other. An enterprising Jerseyman managed to invent a machine to tnrn ont coffee beans in black walnrtt and stained pine woods, and these also are used to adulterate the better quality cf coffee. Brazilian coile-is generally used by tbe cheap growr. It comes in prettily plaited Lags in quantities of seventy-six pounds. A bag costs $7.60, or tea cents a pound for large quantities By judicious adult-crn-tion of one-fifth of a pound of wooden bean to four-fifths of a pound of eofui: bean, the price is lowered two cents, and makes the coffee, as sold, cost tight cents a pound.

For cash this quality ol coffee is sold for twenty cents a halt pound or thirt v-five cent a whole pound. At this rate aiag of coffee tbut originally cost $7.60 would sell for or at a profit of about 300 per cent. A-the price of coffee is raised ten cents a pound when sold on credit, a half pound would cost twenty-five cent and a bag would be sold for thirty-eight dollar-, leaving a profit of S0.40 on seventy-six pound-i of Brazilian coffee. The profuse use of tbe bean in adulteration i-extremely injurious, and causes sleeplessness. The adulterations of colli are much more flagrant than the use ol flucose in sugar or oleomargarine in utter, and yet the Government ha taken no measures to suppress it by law.

In consequence, the person who is not able to go to an importer and pa; twenty-five dollars for a bag of Mocha is in considerable danger of drinking walnut infusion instead of honest coffee. It is only the poorest persons who arc anxious to secure credit. The American workingman is nothing if not independent. So long as be pays cash on the nail he will do so with a promptness that might be emulated by more favored persons. It is his wife, usually, who runs him into debt and make i bira adopt the credit system willingly.

It is distasteful to bim at first. Ihn ho begins to sec thnt once in he can not fet out of the meshes thnt the corner groeeryman has (pread for Lim, and he makes a noble eilbrt to break loose He struggles, but in vain, and ever afterward is tbe fclare of a remorseless master. When he wants to buy tea aud enjoy a quiet cup now and then.nstead of going to the importer and paying .5. or 6 for a chest enough to fast him a year he goes to the ooraer grocery-man. A chest of Formosa tea of the lower grade weighs fifty-six pound, and costs the grocer ten cents a pound.

IJe charges thirty cents a half-pound where cah ia paid, and forty cents where credit is requested. At this rate a chest which cost him just $5.60 to open in his own store brings him in a profit of $28. as he can sell tbe tifty-six pounds for If he cells the chest on credit, as is almost invariably the case, he obtnins a return of $44.80 on his investment of $5.60, a profit of $39.20. But the groeeryman is not satisfied with thw profit of 700 per cent. He goes to work and adulterates the already poor tea and serves up a decoction that might make a well-constituted cat winco.

By this method he increases his profit one-quarter as much again, and afler exhausting the resources of his tradf. makes a $5 chost of tea pav bim about. $55. cr a profit of about 1,000 per And with all this he hangs over Lis tnberablo customer's head the fear of having his bmne wild to the highest bidder.

But we physicians do not depend npon sickness for aa income. Cv my. no: most of our money is made from people, who have nothing the matter with them." rV. Y. Sun, The 21 of February, known in tba cboreb calendar as tba Feast of tba Pa rifiestion of tbe Virgin, under tba popular same of Candlemas Day, way a favorite holiday in medieval times.

It is generally anst-rted that tba day was appointed for public observance by Pope Sergins about tbe year 684, bnt its real Wig in is of ranch earlier date than this. Id fact tbis day is one of tbom which was taken by tbe Christian Cbnreh directly from tbe heatben Romans. February was the last month of tbe year according to the calendar of Kama Pompil-ins, and received its name from tbe Latin word ffbrna, an expiatory sacrifice, because it was the month in which all the offenses of the year were expiated by the dne proportion of penance and sac-ribee, all accounts with the sods, in fast, being now sqnared up. The sec-end day of the month tbe ceremonies of purification were opened with a procession, wherein torches were borne in honor of the deities and sacrifices offered io tbe temples. Upon this heathen observance the early fathers of the church wished to engraft one of Christian name, and by rare good luck, the observance of tba birthday of Christ at the time of the winter solstice would 'bring at about the desired date a festival of similar sig-oiieanee, to-wit: the purification of Mary In the Temple.

Thengh tbe peculiar rites of the day might bava been originally instituted In honor of Cores or Ve-bub, their heathen character was entirely removed when they were observed in bun or of TBK VIBOIJt KOTHaB OF CHRISTENDOM. By snch devices the shrewd early teachers of Christianity obtained a hold upon tbe populace that might otherwise have been impossible to secure. Tbe popular same of the day was derived from the candles then distributed, carried in procession, and burned in the churches. It was the custom to have these candle provided in great numbers, blessed by tbe priests, and then given away to the nile. Though tbe germ of this custom onbtless to he found in tbe torch of the heatben sacrifice, still it no doubt was instituted by tbe chnrcb with direct reference to the words applied by the aged Simeon to Christ in th Temple, "He shall be a light to lighten the Gentiles." Tbis is a curious, though by no means a solitary, instance of tbe very literal interpretation put by medieval tbonght npon tbe words of Scripture.

Tbe ceremony of blessing the eauriles was one of the first things protested agtinst at the time of tbe Reformation, both on the coutiuunt and in England. In 1547, tbe benring of candles in London was left off by royal order, but was still, to a limited extent, carried on for a nnmlier of years. From tbis custom was devised another, 1 religiously olmerved in Europe for many centnries. Tbe church bad a special service kuown as tho churching of women, that is, a thankngiving to be offered by those who had safely recovered from the paina and perils of child-birth a ceremony taken directly from the Jewish one of purification of women. The Jewess offerud "two turtle doves or two yonng pigeons" in tho temple, tbe offering of tbe Christian woman was a certain number of canities bncause of the Candlemas Day enstom.

In connection with tbis fact we find the following well-known, authentic, and entirely characteristic anecdote told of William the Conqueror and Philip of France. King William, in his old age, becane very eorpuleut, and nnfiered much from ailments consequent npou this excessive development. At one time, after be had been sick some weeks, the French Kiug scottingly remarked, "Methinks the King of England lietb long in child-bed." King William, hearing this speech reported, grew f.tiiotu. '-When I am churched," said he, "there will be A THOVSAXD UOHTb IN KRiSCE." ItigVit. terribly did the fierce old King keep his word, for uci sooner was he able to travel, than be journeyed with an army over to France and from Calais southward, laid waste many miles of the country with fire and sword, and turned scores of smiling villages into heaps of smoking rnins.

Had not the rage of tbe old King wrought its own retribntion, eo that he died in the midst of bis victories riding over the rains of the town of Mantes, his horse stepped npon a live ember, and tnrew him forward, on the pommel of bis saddle, giving him a mortal hurt King Philip might have paid for bis bon mot with tbe Ions of his kingdom aud bis head. To return to Candlemas. It was the enstom on this day to take down all the Christmas decorations of holly, mistletoe, and substitute box and yew for them, in preparation for the carnival. A vnlgar superstition regarded it as unlucky to leave even as much as a leaf of Christmas decorations in the houses after Candlemas. Candlemas day is still, in England, kept as a holiday io moxt public offlues.

It is called a "grand day" at tbe Inn of Court, a 'gaudy day" at tbe two universities, aud a "collar day'' at the 8t. James', beiug one of the throe great holidays during the terms, on which legal aud official business is suspended. The candle burning superstition of tbis day is easier of explanation than the old superstition which renders it one of tbe great oDiiuona weather prophesying days of tbe year. In Europe, even from the time of the unaim, it has shared with 6r. Paul's day, January the honor of prognosticating not only tho weather but the events, commercial aud otherwise, of the year.

St. Paul's day CASTS THE HOROSCOPE by means ef its appearanve. Thus: "If fair and clear, pleuty if cloudy or misty, cattle will die; if raiu or snow fall that day, it presages death; if winds blow, wars." The following hue are an almost literal translation of an old Latin verse, aud in one language or another are familiar to all Europe to If St. Fatd't day be fair sad clear. It dotb presage a bappy year lint If it chance to or rain.

Turn will be dear all kinds of grain If cloud, or miata do dark tbe akv. Great of bird, and beasts die And if tbe wiuda do Or alnft, Xbeu wars "hall vex the kingdoms oft. And it is asserted by antiquarians that before the Roman world knew of the name of St. Paul it had a similar superstition about this day. The fact that in some localities there is some doubt whether the 12th or the 25th of January is tbe ouiinousday tbe old Komaus called it dies iEgyptiacns, which meant the unluckiest day possible seetud to como from a lingering and half-understood memory the change of the caleudar from old style to new style.

But St. Paul's day is past, and wo are interested to-day in the weather sigus of Caudlemas. A superstition, whose origin the memory of man reacheth not back nnto. objects to sunshine on this day. The Latins said Si Sol splendeslcat Harts pttridcante Major erit alaciea post lestaa qaam fuit ant.

Tbe Scotchman of to-day says If Candlemas Is fair and clnar i'hara'U be twa winters in tbe year. The French have a rhyme of similar import, and so have the 'Germans, and no doubt tho people of every European eountry. And it is quite impossible to say in hnw many countries our old friend TUB OROUXD-IIOG, or soni of his kind, prf )run oa tbis ti We all know his programme, bow he wakes up and comes out of his winter bed to look around the world again. If he cannot sea bis shadow, ho plays around, knowing that his winter sleep is done, for spring is near at band if, on tbe contrary, bis shadow is visible, be crawls back again into his hole and covers himself np for another aix weeks' nap. Iu Germany it is tho badger who goes through these gymnastics iu France and Switzerland it is tbe marmot; in Euglaud, tbe hedge hog.

The Scandinavian fables the bear waking up in like manner and seeing the sua shining into bis den. lie then turns over and goes to sleep attain, for hn knows the winter is. only half gone. There are no persons in this country who believe in the ground-hog superstition more firmly than the negroes of tbe Southern States, who seem to have brought a similar fable with their lore of Brer Rabbit from the shores of Africa. Now, the question is, bow does a small natural history fable like this, appear simultaneously on three continents and repeat itself interminably through the ages It is not because it baa a foundation of trnth, for one has only to take note of the absolute weather conditions on tbis and succeeding days for a few seasons, to prove it a pure fiction.

And yet people gu en believing in tbe fable, and repeating old saws alxtnt it. such aa "The farmer would rather see a wolf in bis barn than "the sun on Candlemas Day or, "As far as TUB SCX SHINES IX THB DOOR on tbe 2d of February, so far the snow will drift in the 2d of May," and so on.

Bananas had rx 'value among the natives. They never ate them. They were planted simply as a protection to the eoifeei trees. The latter need protection from the sun, and the banana trees are planted in rows alongside them. Well, my friend Captain Jim Murdock couldn't get me more than 700 bunches of bananas at Oro Cabeza, and I induced him to sail with me to Port Antonio.

Here I found a splen-lid land-locked harbor, with deep wa er. Captain Jrm succeeded in buying 1,000 bunches of bananas for me in a short time. The natives were only too glad to sell them at six to eighteen cents a bunch. The people were very poor. They had no money aad very little to eat.

and no clothing to speak of. I paid 8250 for my cargo. I reached Boston in eleven days, and discharged 1,120 bunches of "good bananas. For one very handsome bunch I got twenty-five dollars, and the man who purchased it sold it in ten minutes- for thirty-five dollars. Since that time I have been engaged in tbe banana trade, and have seen the ports of Jamaica built up and the people growing rich.

The natives don spend much on their living. Their wardrobe principally consists of a with boles" for arms and the head, and belted around the waist with a rope. The other items iu their living stand tibout ia tho same ratio in the matter of cost. They ill not invest or bank their mouey. 'I'hev know nothing of such things.

Then three or four more appear at short intervals, until many as eighteen show above the ground from one root. If all those sir.1 let grow there will be no bananas.

So all the sprouts except two or three ot the healthiest are destroyed. Tbe first sprout will matnro in ten to fourteen months. The first evidence of fruit is a brilliant purple flower. This s.x:i gives place to innumerable little bananas, which rapidly grow to maturity. The next sprout comes in bearing from three to four weeks after the first, and others follow at regular intervals throughout the year.

Each prou! bears one bunch of bananas, and is cut down when the fruit is harvested, i'tie natives receive froru thirty-five to s-'v-enty-five cents per bunch "for bananas, according to size and quality. ilulii-more Sun.
