THE SURGERY O1' TIHE FUTIILRE.
1 had n talk a day or two ago with Dr. Sn-

The topic he enlivened wits rho surgeon of

May get a timely change by wearing one

And, rooting up the native bone, we'll set

And in the lap of her be loves the tribute
he'll be laying.
"Each man of means may have as many

Some week day limbs and Sunday limbs

And wear, instead thereof, some facial

"0, yes I" with glowing emphasis continu-

oati u.ed Dr, Sueturo,
As in my throat he hung an epiglottis of
the future ;
"The art of patent • surgery will grow to
such proportions
That advertisements such as these will be

"The undereignsd, not having use for both

Would like to lease the rightor left to some

'Dr. Genius would announce his readiness

'Dyspeptics of the chronic sort should

In West street, between the Itmgrlm
place and J!arolay street, there is a
height Htetitn of the Now York Cen-
tral and 11ud0011 River Railroad. All
sorts of freight are delivered or ship -

known an "Applo Wharf." Here it

smallest traneaotion that takes place,
and sales go from that quantity to a
carload, of tmwy hundreds of barrels
for city storing er foreign exportation.
When the crop is scant abroad or the
quality is poor -the latter is the ease

deal largely mu American apples.
And when there is a crowding supply
here, New York dealers try to relieve
the market by shipping abroad largo
ly on their own tic:event and talc
their chanes of striking an outlet.
There are, however,- enough regular
orders to be filled to make the export
demand steadily worthy of attention.
In former times lino Newtowu pip-
pin was the chief sort sent to Tug•
land, but, with tho easy and (viol;
transportation of the Clay, numerous
other hinds have found favor over the
water, and there Is always more or
lees gall for showy red P,aldwius, fine

outer packers in the matter of honest

Trade at "Apple Wharf" begins ie
the fall as soon as ear lots are ready
to ship this way, and oontinnes all
winter. Extremely cold weather
causes a lull in handling, but damag-
es 19 more or loss prevented by lined
or air tight care and a closed wharf.
A. car carries about 175 barrels. Ar-
rivals have run as high as 100 car-
loads in a day ; and it is not uncom-
mon to see from 10,000 to 15,000
barrels awaiting distribution. Ex-
pert dockmen may be seen at varmQus
piles breaking down tiers ; samples of
which they unbend with n hatchet or
adze to exhibit quality ; these they
reheat with dexterity that seems
magical to an outsider, who at some
time or other has struggled with the
operation of heading a barrel, beseig-
ed as it were by the demon who also
presides over the putting together of
a stove pipe. Owners of invoices em-
ploy their own coopers ; a large num-
ber of the craft are kept busy putting
barrels in shipping condition. It is
important to line the chines of bar-
rels with narrow strips of flexible,
tough wood ; this permits quick roll-
ing or slinging on shipboard, and is
some safeguard against robbery.
The standard varieties for winter

apple, is a delicious table apple, at-
tractive in shape and appearance. It
has a riolt, purple, wine colored skin,
with flesh as white as an opening
cotton pod. Canada used to give the
light supply that came here ; now it
Is grown oleewhere, and is an apple
of commerce. It is rather delicate to
carry beyond the holidays. The
Northern Spy is a handsome variety,
and to a great degree makes up for
the loss of the winter -needed Spitzen•
