STEAMSHIP STATISTICS.
'There is au enormous profit in
the steamship bnsiuess doting the
spying and summer months, the
gl'Ues I(tceipts, according to Lhe
Boston Herald, liom a single voy•
ago fiegmeutly raising above $i00,-
000. \Wheu the Etruria, the Unl-
ink, lite city of New York or any
other of the great lin ers leave their
docks with from 500 tri 600 passen-
gers, as they du regularly every
week betweeu the middle of April
and the middle of July, ren ipts
from rho cabins average more than
$100 each fur each person, and
represent in the aggregate $60,000.
The other sources of income from
the ship, such as freight, the Mails,
the steerage and the bar, amount to
almost as much again. There is
not a vessel on the ocean that can
Lent more than 250 people in 'the
maiNdining-room. For this reason
there are two dinners served when
the passenger list runs above that
number, and you are asked at the
office whether you prefer the first or
second diuner—one at 5:30 the
other at 7—and this, with the
cumber of your room, is pat on the
purser's list with the cumber of
your place at table, and when it is
once fixed no change will be made.
An officer presides at each of the
main tables and the highest honor
is to sit at the captain's table—if
possible ou his right or left—.and
great teL is required to arrange the
seats satisfactorily and give nu cause
for jealousy among the passengers.
The perishable food only is bought
in this country and such things as
melons, oysters, peaches, cigars,
tomaloes and other articles that are
cheaper and better here than abroad,
together with the neoestary supply
of c01l to etrrylthe ship across take
Atlantic, All of the groceries and
wines are purchased on the ether
side, the supply being laid iu for
the round trite.
When a vess'1 of the first class is

the opritg _months, with nearly a
thousand people to feed for seven

•about 2,500 pounds of fresh fish.

80 to k"ys, besides thirty hauliers•
of vegetables, 220 quarts of ice-
cream, 1,000 quarts of milk and
11,500 eggs. It is said that if the
ocean dried up you could trace the
route of the transatlantic steamers
. by rows of empty champagne hottles
between here and Europe, which is
not surprising, seeing that tho
Cunard lino alone use about 26,000
bottles of champagne per year.
The bar is a most important de-
partment on a large passenger ship,
and tho profit from this source is
said to often exceed $5,000 from

on at Liverpool for the round trip,
or at Marro or 100inen.

A SNOW-WHITE BACHELOR
SPARROW.
At Twelfth and Oxford streets',
Philadelphia, four groups of
interested sightseers stood upuu the
trout' separate corners intently
watching the auric' of a snow-white
English sparrow, which seemed lU
be a sort of king among Its sobei-
coated fellows, demanding and
receiving from thein an amuuut
of homage and respectful attention
that would have done the heart of
his highness the shah of Persia
good. A resident of the neighbor-
hood said that he had noticed the
albino for two or three years:
"He has a nest to yonder church
steeple," he explained, "and 1 have
