Sold by he BIBLES IN THE GRIPS. The Life Sam Jones Would Have the Traveler Lead. Sam Jones, the noted evangelist, recently delivered an address to the traveling frater- nity, at Chicago, which was as follows: ‘*As you know, brethren, this is a special service. Cards of invitations, perhaps to the number of 2,000, have been issued to the commercial travelers to be present, and it is to them that this sermon is directed. The commercial travelers of America, or to use a refined expression, the angels of com- merce—[laughter|—are not very much like the angels of old, for they were few and far between; but you are many and your visits are made almost daily. You are legion. Perhaps there are 300,000 commercial tray- elers in America to-day. What a power you are for good or evil in the morals of America! My earnest prayer is that you earry your grip in one hand and the Bible in the other, and that you do business for both worlds on every trip. [Laughter and ap- plause.| Iam a sort of drummer myself. I spend little time at home. That is a great sacrifice. My wife and children see little of me, but God forbid that there should be any weaning from me. The curse of a traveling man is that you can’t be at home when you are at home: and oh! how many of you have brought tears of blood to the eyes of your wives because of your indifference. If you are not a commercial traveler, then you don’t know how hard it is for a commercial traveler to be a Christian. If it is essential, in order to be a first-class drummer, to smoke tobacco, drink liquor, and play cards, I'd rather bea third-rate dog than a first- class commercial traveler. And now we come to the text: ‘I thought on my ways and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.’ Inconsiderateness curses the world. You never want to think of the right thing. You think about bonds and_ stocks, and about what hotel you shall stop at. And now if we can spare a few moments in hon- est consideration I think we may be benefit- ed in this service. ‘I thought on my ways.’ Will you look back on the past and ask yourself the question, have my ways been wise ways? Am I wise day and night? Does wisdom control me? Now, here I am a mortal being; I’ve got to sell goods for thirty years, but I’ve got to die some day, and then I want to look back and say that T’ve never done anything to displease God or to dishonor my own being. Some of you do things to accomplish different ends. Some of you have got the bottle, and some of you play cards, with something put up to make the game interesting. [Laughter.] And I could tell you of other things you do if it were not for the pure faces I see with bonnets on. [Laughter.] I’ve seen the time when I would have done devilish things, but you couldn’t have hired me to do those things by the month. [Laughter.] A man who would have you do evil things in order that you might better push his trade, will be your worst enemy one of these days— after he has debauched you and made you crush the blood out of your wife’s heart. [Applause] There isn’t money enough on the face of the Lord’s earth to employ me for one trip to sell whisky or beer. I wouldn’t sell liquor for anybody. I couldn’t be hired. I’m not mad at the man who sells whisky, I’m mad at the demijohns, the bot- tles, and everything that holds whisky. [Laughter.] An honest man is the noblest work of God. He is worth his weight in gold. Don’t work for a man who counsels bad means fora good end. Id rather bea dying man in a poor house than a man who would advise mean ways to reach a big or- der. ‘Now, brother, determine first to work for none but an honest house. Just say that you won’t misrepresent your goods. Boycott any house that would ask you to do such a thing. You’ve got the power to do it. [Applause. | ‘Bout the dirtiest thing in the universe is a dirty drummer. [Laughter.] They’re hard to find—[laughter]—but when you find ’em you'll see they’re powerfully dirty. He’s dirty in his language and he’s dirty in his habits. Oh, brothers, live pure lives. Never say anything you would not say ina parlor filled with ladies. Wherever you go, let the vows you made to your wife be as sacred as the Bible. [Applause.] There’s a com- mercial traveler with a precious group of children at home. Now, father, your boy is putting his tracks into your tracks. Twenty years from now he'll be a commer- cial traveler. He’ll go into the same house you go into, and he’ll drink at the same bar you do. Right about, and be pure. Vil look on my ways as a father, and in addi- tion to that I'll look on my ways as a hus- band. I have received a letter from a wom- an in this city—the wife of a commercial traveler—telling a story of a broken heart, beeause of her husband’s indifference. Growing indifference! Well, sir, I was head over heels in love with my wife when I married her, and I love her ten times as inuch to-day. [Laughter.] If Pd married & pad ’un I'd a-stuck to her just the same, for I wouldn’t want to shove her off on some other fellow. [Loud laughter.] Look thy ways as a citizen, and then above all things see what sort of a church member you are. Nearly every drummer is a chureh member, but he doesn’t know it, though. [Laughter.] Now, every one of you drum- mers who never was a member of any chureh stand up.” [Loud laughter. | Not a Sam’! of Posen arose. ‘There, didn’t I tell you?” said the evangelist with a grin, as he faced the ministers on the stage. Then turning to the thousand drummers who were nearly exhausted from laughing at the subtlety of the joke, Mr. Jones said: “Now that is a compliment to you all, but it’s a slam on theehureh. [Laughter | ‘Brethren! if you see your ways are not right then make a turn. Letus keep straight ahead. ‘But,’ yousay. ‘I want time.’ A second and a half is all the time you want to turn ronnd. Say, ‘I'll live and die clean if I never sell another bill of goods.’ You've got no time to throw away. A few more days of debauchery and a few more nights of licentiousness will put some of you where you can’t turn. But, thank God, you can turn to-day. Itisa grand thing when aman walks up and gives himself to the right. God grant that every one of you will give yourself to a better, purer and nobler life. How many of you wiil start out on that line to-day?” About 500 drummers arose. ‘‘Well, God be praised, exclaimed the evangelist, “and may God bless the commercial travelers of Chicago and America, and their wives and children, too.” Among those on the platform were O. | gl Pindell, president of the Traveling Men’s Protective Association; John R. Stone, sec- retary of the same organization; John Sar- geant, secretary of the Dominion Traveling Men’s Association of Canada; T. S. Quincey, secretary of the Northwestern Traveling Men’s Association, and ex-President Sidney, of the Traveling Men’s Protoctive Associa- tion. ——_—_—___—> +. Some Rules for Some People. 1. Never sign your name to a letter after you have written it. The person to whom it is addressed may know who it is from if you do. 2. Never keep a copy ofa letter it. Is bad taste to copy. 3. When you receive a business letter don’t file it; put it in your pocket. It will come handy to figure on. 4. Never figure your invoices carefully; they are always correct. Bill clerks never make errors. 5. When ordering goods, always order “Same as last.” It is a good brand and your jobber always keepsit. He also keeps several men to look after it. 6. If your goodsare lost or damaged while in transit, always make the shipper stand the loss. The railroad is not responsible; and, besides, you bought the goods deliver- ed in your store. 7%. Never pay exchange, even when re- mitting for bills which are past due. If you do, your jobber will become impressed with the idea that you are not ‘“‘Shrewd.” 8. When your jobber tries to do you a favor by buying something outside of his line don’t fail to write him a mean letter con- cerning it, in case it does not suit you. The jobber always likes to get these letters in order that he may know how to act next time. 9. If perishable goods of any kind spoil on your hands, ship them back by express. Your jobber will not dare to refuse them, because he values your trade. Besides, perishable goods are guaranteed indefin- itely. 10. Never head your letter with the name of the State in which you live. For, although there is a post-office of the same name as yours in nearly every state in the Union, it would be impunging the intelligence of some thirty or forty employees of the house where you buy your goods to assume that any one of them could be ignorant of your address. 11. When you send remittances nothing should be inclosed with the money to in- dicate whom it is from. No one would steal money unless they knew who it belonged to, and no reputable house will have more than one eustomer in each town. Hence it is more safe and couvenient. 12. In ordering goods do not name qual- ity, brand, or price wanted. Order this way: Please send one case canned oysters, one sack coffee, one barrel of sugar. The highly intelligent party who checks up your order knows exactly what you want, and would feel offended if you specified size, style or color. He is a good guesser, and keeps himself in practice by guessing all the con- undrums in the newspapers during the week, and by guessing at a mark on Sun- day. 12. In ordering net cash goods, always state that you want them on sixty days time, at 2 per cent. off for cash. Wholesale grocers make from }¢ to 1 per cent. to 34 of nothing on such goods, and any first-class, enterprising house should be willing to give you the advantage of full terms and dis- counts. ———_— i - 9 Atropine is said to be an antidote to car- Hazeltine & Perkins Drug Co., Gfand Rap- Mich. f aif on thy ways as a husband, and then look on The Spotter—No. 3.

He fired him, and after goin’ through the train opened the rear door of the last car, to see if the red lights were burnin’ all right, and there sat old Mr. tramp as bold as you please. K——— pulled the bell cord and assisted the bum off the steps, and signaled the train ahead. Just as she was startin’, the tramp grabbed kK———— by the leg and pulled him off the ear into the ditch and then run for the woods.

Oh, no: just indignant. Coming down the G. R. & I. the other day, in the smokin’ car sat a dyed mus- tached, rough-elad, ill-looking specimen of humanity. He got on the train at R———, and when M———— came along, gave hima fiver, from which to take his fare. M had no change and told him that he would hand it to him in a few minutes. When he came back he gave him what he supposed was the correct amount. On M- *s next trip through the train, this party stop- ped him and said ‘tyou still owe me fifty cents.” M put his finger up to his nose, and laughin’ly said, ‘‘that’s too thin, you ean’t come any game on me.” Well, one word led to another, and they such both got mad, and M———— gave the fellow an awful blastin’.

Johnny R- was makin’ his first trip as passenger brakeman, and it was hard enough to call the stations, without havin’ a pretty girl say “good evenin’” to him. She said it just the same, and the next time Johnny went through the car, in- stead of callin’ Pickands Junction, he cried out: “Good evenin’, Good evenin’.” All broke up; getting over it now. Yes, this is where I live. See that little woman in the depot door-way? That’s my wife. Oh, yes, we’ve two of them, boy and girl. Good-day, sir. Leo. A. CARO. ~~ o <.-—— baggage car.

The last issue of the Wakefield, Mass., Record, in an article upon the Knights of Labor in that town, says: A feature of the Assembly here is a gro- cery store, which the Knights run in the gallery of their hall, upon the co-operative plan. Any member of the Assembly is at liberty to take as many shares, or none, as he sees fit. The goods are bought at whole- sale and sold to the subscribers at the pre- vailing retail rates. At stated intervals an amount equal to six per cent. interest on the capital invested is laid by as a sort of re- served fund. ‘This is taken from the mon- eys received for retail purchasers. The bal- ance is then divided into halves, one-half going to purchase more goods, and the other half divided up among the members in pro- portion to the amount of goods they have bought at retail. At each retail sale the purchaser receives a ticket which shows the amount bought, and which entitles him to his share of the dividends at the next ‘‘grand divide.” The members, by this method, are saving money on their grocery bills. The store is open about every evening, and is “tended” by some one of the members. They find it a paying institution. —_ > - << Jamaica Tea. The samples of tea grown in the Jamaica Public Gardens, which were forwarded to London to be reported upon, are said to be quite satisfactory, the brokers rating them at from 60 to 64¢c. a pound, being of good flavor and combining to a great extent the peculiar characteristics of a fine China black leaf and Ceylon Pekol Souchong. They are of a kind peculiarly suitable to the London market. Coffee and sugar being unprofit- able, in all probability the Jamaica planters bolic acid. may turn their attention to planting tea.

The great railroad strike in the Southwest has not come to an end so promptly as was announced, While the strike was in prog- ress the companies strained every nerve to obtain men in the places of those who had left. Toa great extent they succeeded, and Mr. Hoxie now announces that he needs but a few more men to complete his force. On the other hand, the Knights stand by the usual rule in such eases that all who struck must be taken back or none will return to work. ‘This the men are compelled to do by the rules of their organization. Mr. Hoxie and other railroad managers fore- saw this when they employed the new men. This act was a decision to fight the battle to the last extremity, and to take back none of the strikers. And then the struggle entered upon a new phase. Open violence was offered and several collisions have occurred between the strikers and officers. As rail- road property is the deast defensible of all property from its peculiar character, and as its safety depends on the law-abiding spirit of the whole community, it requires no prophet to foretell ,that there are stormy times ahead for the roads in the Gould system. ee Lowell will undoubtedly be thenext town to place itself in the line of progress, the re- tail dealers of that place having taken the initial steps toward the effecting of an or- ganization. <—_eeeenensmnennentinnneanncen The Life of a Bank Check. A case of peculiar interest to bankers and business men who handle commercial paper was recently decided by Judge Chipman, in the Superior Court at Detroit. It appears that on Saturday, August 8, 1885, Harmon 8S. Holmes, a merchant at Chelsea, sold some live stock to Charles Roe. The tran- saction occurred in Detroit and Roe gave Holmes a check on Vincent J. Seott’s bank. Instead of presenting the check for pay- ment, Holmes carried it home and deposited it with the Citizens’ Bank of Chelsea for collection. When the case came to trial, the Detroit correspondent of the Chelsea bankethe Mechanics’ Bank, claimed that the check was not received by them until 1 o’eclock on Monday, too late to have it han- dled at the local clearing house. On Tues- day the check was dishonored, as on Mon- day night Scott’s bank had forever closed its doors. Holmes sought to recover on the check, but Roe’s counsel contended that Holmes had been guilty of negligence in not using proper diligence in presenting the check at Scott’s,bank; that the rule of law was that acheck ought to be presented for collection within two days after being made; that the transaction having been made, and the parties both being here when the check was made, the collection of it should have been made here direct: and fur- ther, that the clearing house is for the con- venience of banks and not for private indi- viduals. Judge Chipman took the ease from the jury and rendered a verdict for defendant. The matter involves new phases in so far as clearing-houses are concerned, as ques- tions of their liability on commercial paper may arise, if delay occurs in handling it. > 2 => Good Words Unsolicited.

Lander has engaged in the grocery business at Holland. Arthur Meigs & Co. furnished the stock. J. M. Mills has engaged in the grocery business at Pentwater. Arthur Meigs & Co. furnished the stock. The Freeman & Jones grocery stock, at Mancelona, was sold by Cody, Ball & Co., instead of Bulkley, Lemon & Hoops, as stated last week. Parker & Dutton’s new sawmill and feed mill at Alpine are in successful operation, about 300,000 feet of hardwood logs having already been converted into lumber. The firm proposes to put in acider mill and evaporators for the manufacture of jelly. AROUND THE STATE. E. A. Richards will shortly engage in the drug business at Saranac. E. Holbrook sueceeds Denike & Soule in the grocery business at Ypsilanti. Appenheim & Son succeed A. Hyman in the clothing business at Bay City. Chas. S.

Bidleman sueceeds Oakes & Bidleman in the hardware business at Kal- amazoo. F. O. Gardner has purchased the O. H. Dean dry goods stock, at Pentwater, and the Ambler stock, at Mears, and will em- bark in general trade at Pentwater. Chas. Westfall, proprietor of the Ithaca drug store in which the burglary and arson was committed January 3, and who was strongly suspected at the time, has been ar- rested and held in bail to answer. W. B. Tyler has sold his interest in the firm of W. B. Tyler & Co., general dealers at Richland, to P. H. Gilkey, who will con- tinue the business. Mr. Tyler has plans matured which he will shortly announce through Tims TRADESMAN. B. J. Robetrson has sold his drug stock, at Breedsville, to H. W. Rodenbaugh, who has consolidated it with hisown. Mr. Rob- ertson has removed to Grand Rapids and en- tered the employ of Arthur Meigs & Co. as billing clerk, vice G. W. C. Everhart, dis- charged. George J. Gilbert, the grocer, in whose store, at Burr Oak, a fire was discovered on Tuesday night, is now under arrest on com- plaint signed by a dozen of the business men of the town, charged with incendiar- ism. His bail is fixed at $1,000. It is said he had taken insurance in three or four companies to the amount of $3,100 on a stock and fixtures of not over $800 or $1,000. The affairs of Taleen & Johnson, the Ishpeming firm which failed for $50,000 last January, are much mixed. Ernest Tulberg, jr., a partner, now in his home in Sweden, made a deposition before leaving Chicago, implicating John A. Taleen and John W. Jochim. Jochim was a partner in the house until last May, when he retired from the firm, Tulberg taking his place. Taleen says that he never was a partner, but the agent of Jochim. The assignment was made to Jochim at the time of the failure. Creditors think they have sufficient proof to make it unpleasant for both Jochim and Taleen, but these gentlemen denounce Tulberg as an upstart and imposter who tricked them. STRAY FACTS. Elmira expects to have another handle factory. John M. Peabody, banker at Albion, has assigned. About 80,000,000 feet of logs will go down Flat river this spring. G. C.

The principles in the manufacturing method here given, viz., extracting pepsin with muriatie acid, and precipitating it with salt or alcohol, are well known. But as far as the writer is aware, general statements are about all that can be found in print on the subject unless it be patented processes, and any one attempting to make the article with only these principles as a guide, would probably meet with unexpected dif- ficulties. Only the washed and dissected inner coat of the stomachs of the animals (generally of the pig, but those of sheep may be used) are received. These portions of the stom- achs are then chopped finely. This can be done in one of the ordinary cutting machines used in meat markets, the power being fur- nished either by steam or hand. Fifty stomachs can be macerated ina large-sized barrel (forty-five gallons). The barrel should be about three-fourths filled with water and then acidultated with 1 quart of muriatie acid (30 per cent.) The stomachs are left to macerate in this weak acid for forty-eight hours, stirring occasionally. If necessary the temperature should be kept down with ice to prevent decomposition and avoid a subsequent disagreeable odor. The solution is now strained through a coarse cloth (sacking will answer) into another barrel. The strained solution contains the together with considerable mucus i pepsin, and other impurities. The mucus and other impurities are sep- arated from the pepsin by adding a small portion of salt (8 kilos) to each barrel and stirring energetically for several minutes with a paddle. This brings the impurities (mucus, ete.) and a small amount of pepsin to the surface, and ina few minutes they can be skimmed off. Now, add a larger portion of salt (28 kilos) and repeat the vig- orous agitation of the contents of the bar- rel. The quality of salt should be ordinary table salt. It must be fine, so that it will dissolve readily. It is preferable to add the salt itself instead of a solution. The pep- sin will now collect on the top of the liquid. This is skimmed off and placed upon mus- lin cloths to drain. When partially drained it is well to wash the pepsin with water, to free it from some of the salt, which is quite difficult to separ- ate. After being left to drain about twenty- four hours, transfer to bags (made of can- ton flannel), a {small amount being placed in layers, with planks between, in an ordi- nary small cider press. After remaining in the press. a few hours the pepsin comes out in cakes that are tough, and in appearance something like old leath- er. Itis then ready to dry. This should be done ina draught of cool air. The re- mainder of the salt soon begins to effloresce and appear in the outer part of the frag- ments of pepsin. The salt should be re- moved occasionally and the drying continu- ed. When dry it is finely powered and sifted. Then after thorough inter-mixing it is ready to be tested. In color it is very light grey. Pepsin of higher digestive power and con- taining less mucus can be better obtained by treating the dissected inner coat of the stomachs than by treating the whole stom- achs. The reason of this higher digestive power is, probably, that less of the strength of the gastric juice is wasted, there being less material where the dissected coat is us- ed upon which it can expend itself in the process of maceration. By using the above process, pepsin, free from mucus, can be obtained that will dis- solve 350 to 400 times its weight of coagu- lated albumen. When made from the whole stomachs the pepsin dissolves about three hundred times its weight of coagu- lated albumen. In both of the above tests the United States Pharmacopeia method of assay was used. Pepsin carefully made in this way contains no mucus. It does con- tain salt but not an injurious amount. This small amount of salt can be completely re- moved, if desiréd, by redissolving the pep- sin and precipitating with alcohol. How- ever, the pepsin, when carefully made, con- tains very little salt, and when diluted with milk sugar to form saccharated pepsin, the form in which pepsin generally appears in the market, it is not recognizable to the taste. There are many particular brands of pep- sin in the market, and for most of them greater digestive power, of course, is claim- ed than can be found in any other pepsin in commerce. Upon examination the writer has found that some of the brands, about which the most extravagant statements are made, test the lowest, when all are examin- ed by a common standard (the United States Pharmacopeia method of assay). The reason of this is that some manufacturers have special assay methods printed upon their la- bels, and when tested by this process their own article will appear to be a superior one. For instance, a sample of pure pepsin ad- vertised to be of a strength sufficient to dis- solve 600 times its weight of albumen (by special process), really tested but 300 when assayed by the United States Pharmacopeeia method. And the variety of methods used by man- ufacturers for testing pepsin seems to be ex- ceeded only by the variety of processes used for manufacturing the article, no two pro- prietors seeming to use the same process. The difference in manufacturing processes is not in itself objectionable. The trouble is the products are unlike. Some samples contain other substances than pepsin in large proportions. One firm now advertises the same article as ‘‘Peptone-Pepsin” as as ‘Pepsin,” that was formerly sold as “Golden Seale Pepsin,” the proprietors of this pepsin now admitting that its composi- is partly peptone or the product of the ac- tion of the gastric juice upon dried egg al- bumen, which is used to the extent of 400 pounds of ordinary coagulated egg albumen to each 100 stomachs in the manufacturing process. ——- The World’s Production of Quinine.

Several exchanges have lately called at- tention to the fact that a combination of muriate of ammonia and powdered extract of licorice will disguise the bitter taste of quinine. Equal parts of the three sub- stances are taken, except when small doses of quinine are to begiven, when proportion- ately larger quantities of the extract of licorice may be added. ———-o <> The Drug Market. ket this week is the drop in oils lemon, ber- gamont andorange. It is believed that the shortage in the crops is not as large as was reported. German quinine is dull and lower. Oils sassafras and peppermint and citric acid are easier. Oil cloves has ad- vanced. ——____<>-+- <> A druggist who was interviewed by a newspaper reporter is reported as saying: “If the public are taught to demand cheap prices, they can only blame themselves if they get cheap drugs and those inferior in quality. It is no less so in the drug busi- ness than in others. Yet there are plenty of people in our own city who will go from drug store to drug store getting estimates on prescriptions, entirely forgetting this fact, and taking risks on human life and health for the sake of a few cents.” This isa sound argument which might be used by druggists much more freely than it is. A serious mistake was made recently by a Marlette druggist in filling a prescription, by putting three ounces of chloral in place of three drams. Two doses of the compound were given, and nearly proved fatal. After the first dose the patient slept four hours, and after the second dose, which was given in the afternoon, she slept till morning, and it was quite difficult te rouse her. The medicine was then taken and analyzed’when it was found that that she had been receiv- ing forty-five grains at a dose instead of ten. ‘‘Fermentum” the only reliable compress- ed yeast.

The Pall Mall Gazette of March 2, quot- ing the Boston Journal, says: “To obtain beautiful oriental eyebrows, anoint the roots with a balsam made of two drams of nitric oxide of mercury mixed with one of leaf lard. After an application, wash the roots with a camel-hair brush dipped in warm milk. ‘Tiny scissors are used with which the lashes are carefully but slightly trim- med every day. When once obtained, re- frain from rubbing or even touching the lids with the finger-nails.” The weaker sex may make a rush for this new beauti- fier, and chemists will do well to supply a mild citrine ointment. But Cui bono? If a fair damsel awake one morning from eyebrows,” will the delicate fingers not travel eyewards as before? Then—but the new ointment may give work to the unem- ployed. > Pooling on Joe. A tin peddler came across a farmer’s wife who had a calfskin for sale, and she explain- ed that her husband had instructed her to ask $1 for it. ‘‘He must be crazy,” replied the peddler. ‘Nobody would give over 50 cents.” ‘“Can’t you possibly give me $1 in trade?” “No, ma’am.” “But I want to please Joe, you see. Just sell me 50 cents worth of tinware for $1 and I’ll throw in a dozen eggs to boot. You see, Joe is a bull on ealfskins, but a bear on tinware, and in this way we'll pool on him.” —_—_—_—> 4 Ozone Test Paper.

Decline of the Kalamazoo Celery Industry. From the Kalamazoo Gazette. A well-known celery king of this city be- ing questioned a few days ago by a Gazette reporter as to what the prospects of the cel- ery crop were this season, gave expression to an exceedingly pessimistic view relative to the future of this industry, by which so much wealth is yearly drawn to Kalamazoo. He may be a croaker, but his views are cer- tainly worthy of some consideration. He said: “The bottom is going to fall out of the celery business in Kalamazoo one of these days. Of course I’'d advise people to stick to it just as long as there is any money in it, but I'll give you a pointer, those who get their living entirely out of celery had better be looking around for something to fall back on when they get to the jumping off place.” ‘What's the matter with celery?” ‘There isn’t as much money in it as there used to be. It’s getting worse every year and newspaper men are to blame for it.” ‘“*We—to blame for it!” ‘Yes, sir. The newspapers of the town have boomed celery until people outside have begun to think that there is a gold mine in this vegetable. Kalamazoo news- papers have published the immense amounts of celery shipped from here during the sea- son, so many tons a day; they have figured out how many hundreds of thousands of dollars are brought to the city every year by the sale of this crop; they have told how the industry gives employment to a great num- ber of people, and have whooped it up on the subject so often and so long that enter- prising business men outside of Kalamazoo have begun to look around and inquire whether they can’t have a slice of this rich thing, also; why they can’t go to raising celery, too. When a man has a good thing, I believe in keeping it quiet. There are thousands of acres of low Jand in Michigan just as well adapted to raising celery as those about this city. There are thousands of men who are just as intelligent and who will learn just as readily how to raise it as the Hollanders around Kalamazoo. They have begun raising celery in other localities. I used to ship considerable celery to Jack- son, but they have begun raising it there, and I did not filla single order from that city last season. Ina score or more locali- ties in this State they have begun raising celery in a small way, and in several local- ities last year it was grown in quite respect- able quantities. What is true of Michigan is true of other states. There are plenty of places in the United States in which I used to have a good business, but to which I didn’t ship a single stalk last season. They have begun raising celery themselves in quantities sufficient to supply local con- sumption. “Tt won’t be many years before the celery business will become a local business. Mar- ket gardeners will select suitable land in the vicinity of all the large towns and will raise celery, just as they now raise radishes and lettuce, to supply the home demand. When that time comes, celery raisin gat Kalama- zoo will dwindle down in magnitude to an agricultural industry of very much smaller proportions than now. “Oh, I don’t lay it all on you newspaper fellows, either. The hoggishness of the ex- press companies is what is ruining our business. Notwithstanding the immense amounts of celery shipped from here, the express companies give rates on this class of business but very little better than they do on any other. They will ship a box of books to Atlanta for John Brown, who probably doesn’t give them 35 worth of bus- iness a year, just as cheap as they will for a celery dealer who gives them thousands of dollars’ worth. The express companies are making a good thing out of it now, but they are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. What better inducement can a market gardener living within 20 or 30 miles of Boston have for raising celery than the fact that it costs as much to get a dozen celery to the metropolis as the celery costs in this city.” >.> -- —— Commercial Museums. A rather novel project is under considera- tion in Austria, namely, the establishment of a general commercial museum. A short time ago the director of the Austrian Orien- tal museum conceived the idea of transform- ing that institution into a great museum de- voted to commercial purposes, and his plan is now being considered by representatives of the Government and commercial corpora- tious of the country. According to the plan the museum is intended to collect and examine all possible data respecting the pro- duction, the consumption, and the traflie of all countries. The museum will also con- tain collections of articles that can be ex- ported to or imported from foreign markets. It will be in direct correspondence with all foreign chambers of commerce, and will es- tablish offices where information can be ob- tained as to the state of credit and the con- dition of trade in foreign parts. The scheme is gigantic, though one which it is highly probable will be necessitated in time by the exigencies of a highly deve loped and widely extended commerce. The location chosen for the initiation of the enterprise, however, does not segm to be the most promising in the world. Such an institution would find a more congenial and natural home in a city like London or New York. ne lp erm Rochelle salts were discovered in 1672 by an apothecary of Rochelle, France, named PORTABLE AND STATIONARY BNGIN ES From 2 to 150 Horse-Power, Boilers, Saw Milis, Grist Mills, Wood Working Machinery, Shaft- ing, Pulleys and Boxes.

Tom Morehouse, the South Water street commission merchant, writes the Grand Traverse Herald as follows relative to the best varieties of potatoes to plant: Iam handling potatoes extensively, and have been for the past eighten years; and would advise all growers to discard the Rose, both early and late. They have passed their usefulness and have run out. I have had trouble for the past two years with them. They cut red inside and are not the potato they were three years ago. Clark’s number one and two are not good for mar- ket, neither are White Elephants. I am not speaking for Chicago’s market only. I was in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore in February last, and found the same expression there among dealers. The best varieties for farmers to raise are Early Ohio, for an early potato; for late potato, the Burbanks, Snowflakes, White Star and Peerless. I intend buying more extensively than ever next fall, and I would not con- tract Elephants, Clark’s number one or two, or Rose, late or early, if they were offered me at 10 cents per bushel. —_—-—~+ -¢ <> —_ Significance of the Signature of a Married Woman. Tue TRADESMAN is in receipt of the following enquiries: Please state whether the wife who holds property in her name is liable if she signs a note with her husband to secure more time in his own business. A customer wishes to know if a woman is liable for her husband’s debt when she signs a note with him to the amount of said debt. Please answer through Tur TRADES- MAN. As both of the above enquiries are prac- tically the same, one answer will suffice for both. The Supreme Court of Michigan, as well as similar tribunals in other States, have repeatedly held that a note given by a married woman is not valid unless it is ut- tered for her own individual indebtedness— that is, indebtedness contracted for the ben- efit of her own individual property. The only way she can be boundis by giving a mortgage. S08 << Mill Tally vs. Shipping Tally. CuasE, Mich., April 12. Editor Michigan Tradesman: DEAR Sirn—We would like to ask a ques- tion through the columns of Tuk TRADEs- MAN, if you will allow us. If there is ten million feet of lumber (mill tally) cut by a mill and piled in the yard, how much ought it to ship out? In other words, does a yard hold out with mill tally, or overrun? Yours Respectfully, Mitt Men. Wm. Scott, secretary of the Putnam & Barnhart Lumber Co., says the mill tally ought to run over the subsequent scaling, as it is generally calculated that it will hold out sufficient to make up for the usual breakage. Several other mill men whom THE TRADESMAN reporter interviewed also ex- pressed similar opinions. el Valentia Orange Crop. The crop of Valentia oranges this year is ¥ said to be very good and considerably lar- ger than for many years past. The amount available for export is expected to reach = 2,000,000 boxes, aggregating no less than 900,000,000 oranges. et lc Hides, Pelts and Furs. Hides are unchanged. Pelts are lower and dull. Furs are a little lower. Wool is low- er. Tallow is lower and very weak. —— << — D. 8. Hopkins, the well-known architect, has just issued a fine cottage portfolio, con- taining twelve lithographic designs of low cost houses, in various postions. The work comprises forty-three illustrations, and is well worth the price asked, $1 per volume. “Silver King” coffee is all the rage.

'The Spanish dictionaries do not enlighten us upon the subject further than that ‘‘dehesa” means pasture, and that pasture any land not so used, and the con- nection between the pasture and the raisin brand is not explained. The true origin of the word is this: In the thirteenth century the Moors were expelled from Spain. Hith- erto these people had constituted the most industrious part of the population, and it was through them that the country had been irrigated and cultivated to such an extent that it was the most fertile part of the world. When the Moors were expelled, the most fertile part of Estremadura and Anda- lusia were turned into sheep pastures, and the sheep husbandry increased so rapidly that it soon became the most important in- dustry in Spain. These onee fertile plains were left to themselves and soon became overgrown with weeds and shrubbery. To these pastures the Merino sheep were driven every winter, and in the summer they were taken up into the cooler mountains. It was found that this change of diet was highly beneficial to the sheep, and very remunera- tive to the owners, in consequence of which the latter became rich and powerful, and, in opposition to the people of the plains, or- ganized a formidable association called the Mesta. To the cultivators of the soil this Mesta must have been something similar to what the cowboys of Arizona are to the more peaceful cultivators of that region. When bands of thousands of sheep traversed the cultivated fields regardless of roads or crops, it may well be understood what in- jury was done the tillers of the soil. This outrageous sheep monopoly, the Mesta, held sway for about 400 years, and was not abol- ished until the beginning of the present cen- tury—1817. These pasture lands, which were known as ‘‘dehesas,” and which for centuries had been idle and manured by the sheep, were at last sold. On one of the fin- est dehesas a raisin vineyard was planted, and the raisins produced were of unusual size and quality. Such raisins they had never seen before. From this time on De- hesa became the name, not only of the fin- est raisins, but for the finest fruit generally in Spain. ——————_——>-e << _—— He Wrote a Check Right Off. From the Detroit Free Press. The other day a farmer-looking man en- tered a Griswold street bank with a check which he handed to the paying-teller, and which was at once returned to him with the remark: ‘*No money here.” “What! Are you out of money?” asked the caller. . “Oh, no. I mean that the man whose name is signed there has no money on de- posit here.” “Ts that so? Why, he’s one of the nicest men I ever met.” “That may be, but his check isn’t worth anything here.” “Tsn’t, eh? Why, he boarded with mea whole month, and we think everything of him. Maybe he’s got money here and it’s mislaid somewhere.” “The check is worthless, sir. He never had a dollar on deposit here.” ‘Never did, eh? I don’t see how it comes about. When I asked him for his board money he wrote this check out as quick as awink. You couldn’t pay it and trust him for the money, eh?” The teller looked at him in a sorrowful way for a moment, and the man continued: ‘*You’d better do that way, I hate to hurt his feelings, you know.” “Say, that check is worthless, and I don’t want you to bother me,” exclaimed the tel- ler. “You don’t, eh? Well; I won’t; but I think it’s a mean sort of a trick on your part. When aman goes and writes a check right off like he did it ought to be paid. When I go home and he asks me if I got the money do you s’pose I’m going to tell him what you’ve said? Not much! I don’t hurt nobody’s feelings, if I can help it.” > -$-

This is an old proverb, another version of which is: ‘He that hath too many irons in the fire, some of them will burn.” This morsel of metaphorical wisdom, evidently the work of a blacksmith, is, of course, in- tended as a warning against undertaking too much, and, at first sight, sounds like a pru- dential maxim, well adapted to secure effic- jency and singleness of aim on the part of all workers. But, more closely considered, the precept shows itself for what it really is, a piece of narrow-minded petty prudence, adapted only for the guidance of incapables and fools. The fact is, nobody who is good for any- thing feeds any such cowardly caution about having ‘‘too many irons in the fire.” Your active, efficient characters, they who do the largest share of work in the world, are the men who want and will have a great many “‘irons in the fire.” Shovel, poker, tongs and af these masterly workmen keep them always hot and always busy. The rapidity of their daily accomplishment is : only equaled by its variety. Both their com- ; binations and their execution are such as E perplex and startle little minds and lead them to repeat in full chatter much such petty maxims as the one now under consid- eration. It is by such men that human pro- gress is advanced, inventions and discoveries are made, fortunes are won, and all valua- ble improvements and reforms are achieved, ———_—_—_- > A new element has been discovered by Professor Winkler, of Freidburg, for which the name germanium is proposed. It is said to resemble both antimony and _bis- muth in some of theirrespective character- istics; hence, if hereafter found to “be suf- ficiently abundant, the therapeutical value at its apes should be creer Antrim Iron Co., at Man- |. What Not to Buy. From the Hartford Post. ‘“‘Good morning, Cicely my dear,” exclaim- ed her intimate as she called in on her way ona shopping tour. ‘Do go Cown and help me to select a new spring wrap. Now that’s a good dear.” “Why, now, it really is impossible. You know I helped you select your winter cloak, and you always thought it was a horrid thing.” “True; but this time, you know, I only want your judgment so as to know what not to buy.” No woman ever consented to such condi- tions, and no woman ever will.
