FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC WOOL- ENS AND WORSTEDS, THE BEST FINE AND SER- SUPERIOR WORK AND THE PROP- ALL AT PRICES THAT WILL IN- CANDLES. What Remains of a Once Great Industry. Notwithstanding the great improvements made in the methods of lighting since the time when our ancestors were content to sit by the flickering light of an old-fashioned tallow candle and read the Bible, the ‘‘Pil- grim’s Progres,” or the religious weekly paper, a great number of candles are sold every year. It was thought, when kerosene oil was introduced and finally came to be generally used, that candles would be a drug on the market. Later, when gas came into use, it was concluded that the demand for oil would soon amount to nothing. Still later, when the electric light was taken up asa means of illuminating the darkness, some were bold enough to predict that gas would ere long become a thing of the past. But, as a matter of fact, more gas is used now than ever before on account of the in- creased number of uses for it. The production and sale of kerosene oil is enormous, and the demand for candles has appreciably increased during the past ten or fifteen years. They are used more ex- tensively for church and other religious pur- poses, and for dinner parties. Plumbers require a great many of them. Nearly every housekeeper has a candle in the house to light her way down cellar or upstairs. A great many burn them ‘in their sleeping-rooms in preference to the kerosene oil, especially in the summer time at seaside resorts. They are more largely used for festival days, and a great many well-to-do persons purchase many of the finest for ornamentation. Their use for dinner parties especially is increas- ing. A millionaire grocer in New York recent- ly purchased for his own use at a fashion- able dinner party twelve dozen of candles worked in beautiful forms and having a truly artistie appearance. In fact, the dec- oration and ornamention of candles has come to be quite an art. The best candles for ornamentation are of pure beeswax. When the wax is hot they are worked into very beautiful shapes and ornamented with a great degree of nicety. The wax when hot is drawn up by nippers into great var- iety of forms and colored red, green, blue, yellow, purple, ete. The wax is drawn up by nippers in the form of flowers, fruit, green leaves, ete. Some of the candles thus worked are purchased solely to look at. These beautiful candles»burning at a dinner party, either on the table or in the chandel- iers arranged expressly for them, present a very pleasing appearance. A great many of these are produced in Western New York. Among the various kinds of eandles now sold may be mentioned paraffine, sperm, stearine, adamantine, tallow and beeswax. The last named are cheaper now than they have been in ten years, although the de- mand for them is increasing. Beeswax, when hot, ean be worked into different shapes better than the other kinds, which are comparatively brittle. In many places bees are now grown simply for the wax, which they make and many beeswax manu- facturers take care of and feed their bees in such a way as to produce the most possible and best wax. The bee that lives on clover blossoms, it is generally conceded, usually produces the best wax; and it is stated that there are some persons so expert in the bus- iness that they can, by tasting the wax, tell what the bees have fed on. Some of the bees thus grown are very costly, instances being cited where they are worth more than $1 each. > -. <> Broken Down Invalids. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. WE LEAD-OTHERS FOLLO Ww.

In business, men must be estimated by Beware of idle moments. Men learn to Times of great calamity and confusion In whatever calling a man may be found, Many a merchant has missed being suc- dling ones. Superiority to circumstances is one of the most prominent characteristics of great mer- chants. Of all poisons and plagues, the deadliest you can admit to your heart is gain which fraud has won. No abilities, however splendid, can com- mand success without intense labor and per- servering application. Much tongue and much judgment seldom go together, for talking and thinking are two quite different faculties. There are three things which most won- derfully reduce a man’s moral strength— hunger, dependence and debt. It society is bound to care for one man it is bound equally to care for another, and So on till it must care for all. Fortune does not stop to take any one up. Favorable opportunities will not happen precisely in the way you imagine. Many aman who dances because he has promised to be at the ball, seems, at every step, to awake a rustling of return bills. Where some think and others do not, there is developed aristocracy. Where all have come to think, we have democracy. Poor circumstances are like poor rela- tives; if you try to deny them they will humble you; if you take to them kindly you will raise them. As ceremony is the invention of wise men to keep fools at a distance, a moderate ob- servance of it in business life often proves highly advantageous. Bankruptcy is a woe which noman should wantonly provoke. He that has once de- seended that fall has enough to weigh upon his heart for years. Men seem neither to understand their riches nor their strength. Of the former they believe greater things than than they should; of the latter, much less. The most useful habits of business are, now-a-days, admirably combined with an extensive intelligence on the part of our leading business men. “Oh! Thatmy influence could be gather- ed up and buried with me,” said a dying merchant. It could not be. That man’s in- fluence survives him; it still lives, is still working on, and will live and we ork evil for centuries to come. Credit does oceasionally enable a man of energy to take a position he could not else have taken; but for one to whom it proves a substantial benefit, it allures thousands to uninterrupted trouble, and a whole spawn of unfair practices owe their existence to it alone. eee Bill Nye’s Experience in Milking. I once had an experience with a heifer who was a self-made cow, born in obseurity, wore her brow low, and her tail high, and was the head of a family. I addressed a common remark to her, which should not have offended her, for I have used it in the best society. I simply said ‘‘so” and she goed. I then told her to “hist” and she histed. I heard something go through the window with a dull, sickening thud, and when my parents came out they found it was me.

The Drummer and the Preacher at a New York Revival. From the New York Times. Among the Rey. Henry Ward Beecher’s many accomplishments, not the least is his ability as a story-teller. To much amused listeners he recently told this one about a New York drummer. A typical ‘knight of the grip sack” was detained at a small town in Western New York a while ago, where a revival meeting was in progress. He had met a party of convivial friends during his stay there, and had what is popularly known as‘‘‘a load on.” - Nevertheless, he drifted into the revival meeting and took a seat well up in front. It was rather close in the chureh, and the warm air was con- dueive to sleep. The drummer yielded to the drowsy god, and after nodding a little sank into a profound slumber and slept through the minister’s rather long and dry discourse. The audience sang a hymn, and the drummer slept on. Then the evangel- ist began his address, and wound up his fer- vid appeal with this request: ‘Will all of you who want to go to heavy- en please rise.” Every one in the church except the sleepy drummer arose. When the evangelist asked them to be seated one of the brothers in the same pew as the sleeping drummer aecident- ally brushed against him as he sat down. The drummer rubbed his eyes, and, partially awake, heard the last portion of the evangel- ist’s request, which was: “Now, I want all of you who want to go to hell to stand up.” The drummer struggled a little, leaned forward unsteadily, and rose from his seat in a dazed sort of way. A sort of suppress- ed laugh he heard from some of the young- er people, and an expression of horror he noticed on the faces of some of the older ones. Steadying himself against the rail, he looked at the evangelist an instant and then said: “Well, parson, I don’t know just exactly what we’re voting on, but you and I seem to be in a hopeless minority.” >? -— we Fooling a Merchant. From the San Francisco Alto. A youthful ventriloquist had a good deal of fun with a well-known wholesale mer- chant on Market street recently. The lad was passing by and saw a number of big dry-goods boxes standing on the sidewalk. He stopped in front of one of them. The merchant happened to be standing near by in the doorway of his establishment. The lad looked up and with a sober face said to the merchant: ‘*D’ye hear that?” ‘“What?” “There’s somebody in this here box.” The merchant stepped up to where the boy was standing. Sure enough he heard a voice, apparently coming from inside the ease crying out: ‘‘For heaven’s sake let me out of this, I’m smothering to death.” With alacrity the merchant ordered an employee to open the box. A mallet and iron wedge were brought out at once, and the cover of the box ‘quickly removed. It was filled with calico goods. But still the cries for help continued to be heard. The merchant lift- ed package after package from the box and piled them in the boy’s arms who stood by, until he filled them with all the youth could earry, then he threw them on the sidewalk. The plaintive appeals still arose from the depths of the box. The merchant was ina terrible state of excitement. He threw off his coat and worked in his shirt-sleeves. The perspiration rolled down his cheeks in rills. Finally, when the last layer of eali- coes was reached, it began to dawn upon his opaque vision that he had been made the victim of a ventriloquist. He looked at the boy, and the boy looked at him. Then suddenly from the box came a quiet **oood morning,” and the lad lit out, leaving the merchant surrounded by a coterie of curious people, who eyed him with a smile as he grabbed his coat, protested against such ‘“q—d nonsense,” and skipped to hide him- self in the confines of his private office. ———>-+ << Liquid Fuel. The question of liquid fuel is still engag- ing the attention of inventors in Great Britain. The latest addition to the various systems is an invention of a Mr. Henwood. A recent trial of a serew steamer of 120 tons was made on Shadwell basin of the London docks. The screw was driven at a speed of 120 revolutions per minute, with steam steadily maintained at 62 pounds pressure. As the result of experiments, it is stated that the consumption of fuel is three-quar- ters of a pound per indicated horse, with a very high rate of evaporation. The princi- pal feature of the new invention is that the petroleum reaches the furnace entrance by gravitation and is injected by steam taken from the boiler, air being admitted in regu- lated quantities. The furnace is primarily started by steam taken from a small auxil- lary boiler placed upon deck. The most important feature of the invention is the proper proportioning of the steam used in the furnace, so that its hydrogen is fully water, but not air. spout? W. C. W., Box 399, Big Rapids, Mich.

The attempted organization of the manu- facturers of gold leaf for the express pur- pose of effecting a uniform and more re- munerative scale of wages to be paid em- ployees has attracted some attention. To this end a majority of the manufacturers of Philadelphia and New York, numbering about twenty, met at the latter place on the 14th, and without effecting an organization, appointed a committee to visit Boston and Chicago manufacturers to secure their co- operation. If this committee is successful in their mission, as there is reason to ex- pect they will be, the gold beaters will find their incomes considerably augmented with- in a few weeks. It should be said here that this movement on the part of the employers is not the result of a recent appeal or any demonstration from the gold beaters, but appears to be a spontaneous act of the for- mer, resulting from a conviction that the present rate of wages is not commensurate with the amount of skill and labor required of the workmen. The employers have for some time past favored a higher seale of wages, but lacking unanimity, have been up to the present time unable to agree upon what should constitute such a scale. Should their effort to combine on this question prove successful, one of its first results will be to cause an advance in the market prices of gold leaf. The present rates admit of a very small profit and any addition to the cost of production would render the busi- ness unremunerative without a proportion- ate increase in the selling price. So far as we can learn the manufacturers’ project meets the approval of all who handle gold leaf, with the possible exception of the con- sumer, but in the event of an advance in prices the additional cost to the consumer would be so slight as in no way to offset the advantages gained by the producers. —_—__——_>_. > Purely Personal.

Protecting the Reputation of a Proprietary Medicine. A case of unusual interest to druggists was tried last week in Common Pleas Court No. 4, of Philadelphia, before Judge Ar- nold. The point at issue was as to how far a lecturer before a medical class could ad- versely criticise a proprietary preparation, and whether he could be held responsible for such criticism. Frank E. Engelman, the proprietor of a nostrum for the cure of hay fever, brought suit against Dr. Carl Seiler, of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, for damages alleged to have been sustained on account of a lec- ture delivered by the defendant on October 14, 1884, before the alumni of the Philadel- phia College of Pharmacy, in which he ad- vised his hearers not to use the article man- ufactured by Mr. Engelman. ‘The plaintiff alleged that in consequence of these remarks the druggists ceased recommending his pow- ders to customers, and in some instances had removed the article from their show- cases. He was unable to tell just how much his trade has fallen off, but believed that he had lost $1,000, though he did not produce any books to show this. It was offered in evidence that Dr. Seiler had ad- vised the druggists not to use the nostrum, and the following language used by the physician in his description of the article was also produced: ‘I don’t know what it is. I suppose it is nothing but a little sili- cate of soda, or a little borax or quinine and borax; but don’t use it, or any of these nos- trums. They are bad for the simple reason that they themselves irritate the mucous membrane. They all have, to a certain ex- tent, an effect good or bad, but that effect will not last. Very soon the secretion will cover the mucous membrane again, and the trouble will still be there. Also, very soon the system becomes accustomed to the nos- trum and prevents the thorough impregna- tion of the mucous membrane, having its peculiar effect upon the circulation of the nose itself.” The plaintiff called a number of drug- gists, with a view of showing that their sales had fallen off in consequence of Dr. Seiler’s lecture, but these witnesses could not say that their sales had been curtailed in consequence of any remarks of Dr. Sei- ler. One druggist testified that he had rec- ommended the article because it was put up in convenient boxes and was handy to carry in the pocket. The defense did. not consider it necessary to offer any evidence. Judge Arnold charged the jury briefly and ordered them to render a verdict in favor of the defendent. He said that Dr. Seiler’s statement before the alumni of the College of Pharmacy was amere expression of opin- ion and that it was devoid of any element of malice. It was the lecturer’s privilege under the cireumstanees, to give his views to his class, and it was the occasion of the highest: privilege for the defendant to give such expression of his views. It was not shown that Dr. Seiler had any malicious motive, and some people might think the defendent did the public a great benefit, but it was not for the court to say whether he had or not. It was enough for the Court to say that it was the defendant’s right to lec- ture upon the medicine. As there was no evidence to support the plaintiff’s case, and it was not shown that the defendant had act- ed in a spirit of spite or had tried to dam- age the plaintiff, the Court was compelled to direct the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. em Aen An Easy Place. A lad once stepped into an office in search of a situation. He was asked: ‘*Are you now employed?” “Yes, sir.” “Then why do you wish to change?” “Oh, I want an easier plaee.” There was no place for him; no one wants a boy who is seeking an easy place; yet just here is the difficulty with thousands. They want easy work and are afraid of earning more than their wages. They have strength enough to be out late at night, to indulge in vices and habits which debilitate them; they have strength enough to waste on wine or beer or tobacco, all of which leave them weaker than before; they have strength enough to run and leap and wrestle, but they think they have not the strength to do hard work. Will the boys let us advtse them? Go in for the hard places; bend yourself to the task of showing how much you can do. Make yourself serviceable to your employer at whatever cost to your own personal ease, and if you do this he will soon find that he cannot spare you, and when you have learned how to work you may be sent to teach others, and so when the easy places are to be had they will be yours. Life is toilsome at best to most of us, but the easy places are at the end, and not at the begin- ning, of life’s course. They are to be won, not accepted, and a man who is bound to have an easy place may as_ well understand that the grave is the only easy place within the reach of lazy people. —__-_ >> Oil from pine wood is manufactured on a considerable scale at the South. The mater- ial is subjected to intense heat in sealed re- torts, and one cord of it is said to yield fifteen gallons of turpentine, eighty gallons of pine wood oil, fifty bushels of charcoal, one hundred and fifty gallons of wood vine- gar, and a quantity of inflammable gas and asphaltum. Patent turpentine is a new article on the London market. It consists of selected fractions of one or more series of hydrocar- bons, including turpentine, whose boiling points are pretty close together. Dyspeptic on the Subject of Adulteration. From the New York Mail and Express. “Give me a quarter of a pound of black pepper,” said a customer to an up-town gro- cer recently. ‘‘I want it pure.” The grocer took down a little package done up in tin foil and adorned with a yel- low label bearing the legend, ‘‘Pure Pep- per.” “This is what sells for black pepper,”’ said the grocer, ‘‘but seeing I know you pret- ty well I don’t mind telling you there’s not a grain of black pepper in it. I worked for five years in the milling-room of a spice mill, and I’m onto the business from end to end. Now, this particular spice is made this way: Take eighty-six pounds of finely ground bran mixed with pulverized charcoal —the last to represent the black hull of the pepper grain; then add fifteen’ pounds of ground cayenne pepper, and there you are with 100 pounds of pure black pepper. “It’s the same way with mustard,” the grocer continued. ‘‘Fifteen to twenty pounds of cayenne pepper, the balance of cheap wheat flour colored yellow, make 100 pounds of genuine mustard. The highest grades, which are not often retailed, contain as much as one-half of real mustard. But cream of tartar is the biggest swindle. A fifteen-pound can of the low grade contains one pound of tartaric and fourteen of terra alba. The terra alba isa mild alkali and neutralizes the effect of the acid. Higher grades of the mixture contain a trifle more tartaric acid. ‘*You probably think you have eaten some cinnamon in yourtime,” the grocer wenton. “Well, you haven’t. I don’t suppose there is ten pounds of cinnamon bark in the Unit- ed States. What passes for cinnamon is the bark known as cassia vera. The article is also mixed with peas and roast bran. I need not tell you about roast coffee, every- body knows about that. It’s just the same way throughout the whole list of spices. If you could’ smuggle yourself into the base- ment of some spice mill you would find bins of bran, peas, terra alba, ete. THE OLD RELIABLE Parry Davis Pain Killer Established 1840.

Telephone No. 95, (Entered at the Postofice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Matter.| WEDNESDAY, “APRIL 21, 1886, Mysteries of Sauer-Kraut. From the N. Y. Mail and Express. This is the time of the year when our Ger- man fellow-citizens of bibulous tendencies regard with longing eyes the signs display- ed in front of lager beer saloons which an- nounces {that sauer-kraut mit Frankfurters can be had within. And already after dark the bowery glows with the portable boilers of the Italian venders who furnish a sauer- kraut and sausage sandwich to all classes of night wanderers for the sum of five cents. Without this kraut the average German could not exist. Just as an Irishman would pine away if deprived of his beloved potato, the German grows sour and unsociable when compelled to forego his partially de- composed cabbage. Sauer-kraut is made of the best cabbage, prepared in a peculiar way, and really is nothing more than sour cabbage, as its German name implies. Long Island furnishes the supply of cabbage for New York. The area of low, level land sur- rounding the towns of Jamaica, Newtown and New Lots is one vast cabbage farm. The largest individual holding is that of Ascan Backus, at Jamaica, where nearly 400 acres are devoted to the cultivation of cabbage alone. Six thousand plants are generally placed in an acre. The greater number of the cabbage gardeners send their products to this city in their own farm wagons, but those whose establishments are further to- ward the eastern end of the island utilize the open freight cars of the Long Island Railroad. Loading these cars with early cabbage is of itself a work of art. The stalks and the outside leaves are cut off. The first layer on the bottom of the ears is placed with the stalk butt resting on the floor. The remaining layers are placed with the top of the head downward. The heads are placed in layers three feet deep, when decks are placed in horizontally and perpendicularly, so as to equally divide the layers, prevent lateral and downward pressure and insure perfect ventilation. Loaded in this way the cab- bage reaches its destination in good order. The largest sauer-kraut factory in New York is situated in Forsyth street. Itisa dingy, dull-looking building on the out- side, but on mornings when the Long Island cabbage arrives, it springs into sudden and seething life. The huge farm wagons dash up in front of the building, and the canvass covers are whipped off them in an instant. At the same time the three big front win- dows of the factory fly open, and the team- sters and their helpers begin throwing the cabbages to two men who stand in each window. They are the cabbage inspectors, and if ahead looks unsound, they toss it back to the wagon, while if it is all right they pitch itto the woman dressers, who with a swift movement of a curved knife lop off the outer leaves, and dress it for the cutter. The cutter is run by a five horse- power engine, and requires four feeders to keep it busy. It cuts 150 tons of cabbage a day. When it is cut and properly prepared the cabbage is passed to the vats. They are three in number, and sixteen feet in diam- eter by eight feet high. When the cut cab- bage has covered the bottom of the vat to the depth of three feet, it is covered with a certain quantity of coarse salt. Then half a dozen powerful Germans wearing high rubber boots, which are never used for any other purpose, enter the vat and begin the task of stamping down the cabbage. Cab- bage possesses 65 per cent. of water, and, as the fine fibers are pushed down, this be- gins to assert itself and the brine begins to form and rise above the solid mass. When the vat is filled the contents are held down by a cover on which heavy weights are placed. Fermentation in making sauer- kraut is about the same as in making wine, only the process is slower. It takes about six or seven weeks to mature. When the “taster” pronounces it perfect it is packed in barrels and tubs, and sent forth on its mission of. supplying free-lunch counters and gladdening the Teutonic heart. neem nore Well Up in the Business.

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. RECEIPT OF MONEY “‘ON DEPOSIT.” The words ‘‘on deposit” used in a receipt import a contract, according to the decision of the Supreme Court of Indiana, which held that an instrument reading, ‘‘Received of Joseph S. Long, $1,600, on deposit, in national currency,” was more than a receipt, and embodied or implied a contract on the part of the receiver to pay back the ‘money to the depositor on reasonable demand. SALE OF MERCHANDISE—PASSAGE OF TI- TLE. Certain flour was ordered by brokers on behalf of a firm, with the direction: ‘Ship as soon as you can, 45 days’ draft, B. D. & Co.” A draft was sent with the bill of lad- ing and an invoice stating the terms as 45 days’ acceptance. The Supreme Court of Georgia held that the signing and return of the draft was a condition precedent to the passing of title, that on an assignment made before such return the assignee took no more title than the firm had, and that the vendor could recover the property in an ac- tion of trover. PARTNERSHIP--REPAY MENT OF ADVANCES. The Supreme Court of the United States has just affirmed a decision of the Circuit Court for the Southern District of Iowa, holding that where three persons form a partnership and agree to bear the losses and share the profits of the partnership in pro- portion to their contributions, and two of the partners furnish all the money and do all the work, they are entitled to be repaid their advances out of its assets before pay- ment of the individual creditors of the part- ner who said nothing and did nothing to promote the partnership business. LIFE INSURANCE POLICY—MURDER OF IN- : SURED. In December, 1877, the Mutual Life In- surance Company of New York issued an endowment policy on the life of one Arm- strong for $10,000. The policy was made payable to the assured or his assigns on the Sth day of December, 1897, or, if he should should die before that time, then to his legal representatives. The policy was assigned by Armstrong to one ILlunter, who paid the premium thereon. Six weeks after the is- suance of the policy Armstrong died from the results of an assault, and Hunter was convicted of the murder and was executed. The required notice and proof of the death of Armstrong was made, but the company refused to pay, whereupon suit was brought by the widow upon the policy. At the trial of the suit the reading of certain testimony showing that Hunter intentionally caused the death of Armstrong was excluded. The Supreme Court of the United States has just reversed a judgment rendered in the United States Cireuit Court for the full amount of the policy, and has remanded the ease for a new trial. FIRE INSURANCE POLICY—ARBITRATION. A fire insurance policy lately construed by the United States Circuit Court at Boston contained the following provisions, viz.: “In ease of any loss or damage the com- pany, Within sixiy days after the insured shall have submitted a statement as provid- ed in the preceding clause, shall either pay the amount for which it shall be liable or re- place the property. * * * In case any difference of opinion shall arise as to the amount of loss under this policy, it is mu- tually agreed that the said loss shall be re- ferred to three disinterested men, the com- pany and the insured each choosing one out of three persons to be named by the others, and the third being selected by the two so chosen; provided, that neither party shall be required to choose or accept any person who has served as referee in any like case within four months, and the decision of a majority of said referees in writing shall be final and binding on the parties.” The question was presented in the case of Crossley vs. The Connecticut Fire Insurance Company wheth- er these provisions constituted a collateral contract, or whether performance under them was a condition precedent to recovery on the policy or to any proof of the amount of loss. The court ruled that the provisions constituted a collateral contract simply and that the plaintiff could bring suit to recover on the policy without first complying with those provisions. —_—_—_—_——>-4<—___——_ London Milk Supply. The increased competition to supply Lon- don with milk is being felt by the large dairy companies which first broke the price of milk to consumers in the British metrop- olis. Some interesting particulars were re- cently given by the secretary of the Dairy Supply Association’s annual meeting. In declaring a dividend of 6 per cent., he stated that this represented a net profit reduced from 0.20 per quartin 1884 to 0.14 per quart in 1885, the reduced value of dairy products being accountable for the reduction. Dur- ing the year the mileage of the company’s vehicles amounted to 360,000 miles, or an inerease of 56,000 miles over 1884. One mile was traversed for every 27 quarts of milk sold. This is in a wholesale way, therefore it can be imagined how much greater it must be in the retail trade. The average price of butter was 2}¢e. under the previous year, presumably caused by the large sale of butter substitutes, 12,200,000 pounds of which were imported daring the month of February. W. J.

All writers of letters this war ning should take: You’re sure to be caught, you’re sure to be caught; You may think that no winds your opinion ean shake But the future ist fullof its dangers unsought, And some muggy morning you’re sure to awake And find that your views don’t consist as they ought. You may talk, but don’t write your convic- tions, for then You’re sure to be caught, you're sure to be caught Use words of the mouth, for the words of your pen Are most treacherous means of express- ing a thought, And have a queer way of appearing again To teach you a lesson you should have been taught. A word that is written don’t know when it’s dead; You’re sure to be caught, you’re sure to be eaught; At times most unseemly ’tis sure to be read And to glory in mischief its nature has wrought; But the w ord that is spoken, tled May be safely denied ora new setting bought. > >____—_ Early Closing.

So the people came and the people went, Nor curtuined the busy scene; Till weary and tired and worn at last, The ncon seemed a mere machine. But the grocer now has found at last, That he can, if he will be free; To spend an hour of pleasant rest, ¥or his customers all agree That a man is a fool who will crook and toil Till his brain and nerves careen; And make of himself, through their neglect, A drudge or a mere machine. —>- -¢ << OUR ROLL OF HONOR.

Rumors are rife of the establishment of an exclusively wholesale dry goods estab- lishment at this market in the near future. The rumors are not yet sufficiently definite to locate, but the existence of smoke is in- dicative of a smouldering fire somewhere in the background. * * I had a talk last week with a leading fur- niture manufacturer of Milwaukee, who stopped over at Grand Rapids on his way East. ‘I expect the men in my factory will strike within ten days,” said the manufac- turer, ‘‘and I don’t care to be at home and be made the target of newspaper interview- ers and arbitration committees. Before leaving, I told my superintendent to pay off every man in the factory as soon as the men struck and shut down. I have furniture enough in my warerooms to fill orders for six months and don’t mind taking a rest un- til the men come to their senses.” * % Regarding the probability of a_ strike among the furniture workers here May 1, I have talked with about a dozen representa- tive manufacturers. All- expressed them- selves as willing to run their factories eight, nine or ten hours, as the men may elect, but as to running eight hours for nine hours pay—such a thing is out of the question. If the men strike—and the irresponsible elements are heartily in favor of striking— the factories will be closed until the men come to their senses. Nearly every factory here has a large supply of manufactured goods on hand and a period of enforced idle- ness would enable them to work off surplus stocks and transact about the usual amount of business without compelling. them to meet a weekly pay-roll. It has been asserted that the Southwestern strike has had no effect on Grand Rapids, but such is not a fact. The Wallin Leather Co. received an order the other day counter- manding a previous order for two corloads of leather and orders for at least thirty car- loads of furniture have been countermanded from the Southwestern States since the be- ginning of the strike. Many other lines of business here have also suffered from the same cause. +e = And while foreign strikes have caused considerable loss and inconvenience here, the apprehension of a local strike is disar- ranging business to a deplorable extent. Business men generally are entering into transactions which are to occur in the future, or which are likely to extend into the future, only with the express under- standing that they are not to be held re- sponsible in case of a strike. This precau- tion is becoming more and more manifest as we approach the first of May. The better elements of workingmen con- demn the present agitation, and will refuse to strike unless forced to do so. The men who are responsible for the present spirit of unrest are inferior or ignorant workmen, professional agitators and men who expect to rise to the surface in a political wal in case of a general upheaval. For the sake of themselves, as well as. their employers and the business public, it is to be hoped that the better classes, who are undoubtedly in the majority, will see the evil results al- ready attending their brethren’s efforts and refuse to be cajoled into concerted action with men who cannot possibly afford them any relief, but will surely precipitate trouble which they must bear in larger proportion than the irresponsible element. + & & I heard a good story on Jim Fox the other day, which I consider too good to keep. It will be remembered that Jim took a flying trip through several Western States last fall, and my informant tells me that on his re- turn home he bought a show ticket of a sealper in Omaha, which called for a first- class passage at a reduced rate. There were two changes of conductors between Omaha and Chicago, and no difficulty was exper- ienced until the third ticket puncher put in an appearance, when the latter casually en- quired of Jim, ‘‘Where is your troupe?” Fox was not prepared for such a question and, following his invariable practice of tell- ing the truth, replied that he did not know. Suchareply gave the conductor good ground for taking up the ticket and collecting full fare, which Jim subsequently recovered from the scalper from whom he purchased the ticket. During the remainder of the the trip, however, all that was necessary to cause a stampede to the refreshment car was the innocent query, ‘‘Where is your troupe?” A New York firm has set aside a certain percentage of their earnings, which will be divided among their employees according to the amount of pay received during the year, virtually making each employee a partner.

The tan- ners are of opinion that a large quantity of bark will be peeled this season, and are quite confident that the price named will rule throughout the summer. lots of old bark are being received by the tanners, for which they pay $4.75. ————>?->———_ We Will “Keep It Up.” From the Denver Retail Grocer.

Itis weak to be scared at difficul- ties. “f find,” said a shrewd trader, ‘I make most money when I am least anxious about it.” If you cannot do all your business with- out grinding men to the death, abridge it— do less. Your business must be the main drain of your intellectual faculties day by day, if you wish to succeed. Some dealers, like their shops, hang ey- erything in their show windows; when one goes inside very little is to be found. Confidence of success is almost success, and obstacles often fall of themselves be- fore a determination to overcome them. Habits of business include six qualities: Industry, arrangement, calculation, pru- dence, punctuality and perseverance. The buyer should not give more for goods than they are worth to him, and the seller should not take less for goods than is equal to their value to him. Be always precisely true in whatever you may relate of your own knowledge, so that you may have an undoubted and settled rep- utation for veracity. There is one distinctive beauty of the credit system, and that is honest men have to pay for articles bought by rogues, and wise men for articles bought by fools. No advantage results from telling one’s business to others, except to create jealousy or competitors when we are fortunate, and to gratify our enemies when otherwise. It is one thing to go to the cheapest mar- ket, and another thing when there to set your heart on buying so cheaply that you will wrench from the anxious seller every hope of an honest profit. You are bound to secure a fair profit, for it is the divine law that labor should have its reward, and that you shall provide for your own; but you are not justified in urging your profits to a point which robs another of his just reward. “TI owe my success in business to you. Let me ask how a man of your caution came to give credit so freely to a beginner, with my slender means?” ‘‘Because at whatever hour in the morning I passed to my business, I always observed you without your coat on at yours.” <>. .—__—_— The Instrument of Hell. From the Shoe and Leather Review. There is nothing in the world which at- tempts such a weak and cowardly revenge as the boycott system. It is in one sense a lawful way of obtaining unlawful ends—it is born of a spirit of revenge, and is therefore unworthy to he entertained or practiced by any honest man. It seeks to obtain ends by coercion more potent than brute force, because it strikes at the daily bread of its victims. Its voice commands obedience or destruction. The very term boycott, as it is now used, is odious to every honorable man. The man who practices it raises his hand against the spirit of our free institu- tions which guarantees to every man free- dom of action in all lawful pursuits. It proposes to enforce its own degrees and terms, no matter how repulsive, even though they produce actual want and starvation. If an organized mob of men, who fancied they had a grievance against a tradesman, should swoop down upon him in a body, destroy his goods, throw his family into the street and burn up his house, they would be guilty of riot and of arson, and the whole com- munity would rise up and demand their pun- ishment; but, if the same body of men, actu- ated by the same devilish spirit of revenge, by a well-organized system of persecution drive all customers away from the trades- man, paralyze his business until expenses eat up his substance and his ereditors take the remnant of his assets, we call that a boycott, and the community smiles. The difference is only in degree; the same spirit of lawlessness is at the bottom in both cases. a A Test for Eggs. Among the minor troubles of city life is the difficulty of procuring a regular supply of fresh eggs. When we cannot removeour woes, the next best thing is to try and un- derstand them. An egg is generally called fresh when it has been laid one or two days in summer, and two to six days in winter. The shell being porous, the water in the interior evaporates, and leaves a cavity of greater or less extent. The yolk of the egg sinks, too, as may be easily seen by holding it towards the candle or sun; and when shaken a slight shock is felt if the egg is not fresh. To determine the exact age of eggs, dissolve four ounces of eommon salt in a quart of pure water, and then immerse the egg. If it is only one day old, it will descend to the bottom of the vessel; if three days old it will float in the liquid. If more than five days old it will come to the sur- face, and project above it in proportion to its increased age. ~~ -@- <> Oleomargarine in England. The importations of butter substitutes in- to England continue to increase, and cause considerable anxiety to the dairy interests. In February alone from Holland and Bel- gium 86,969 ewt. of butter substitutes were imported, against only 20,600 cwt. of but- ter. Continuing at this ratio nearly 10,000,- 000 pounds per month, those countries would furnish 120,000,000 pounds annually, or about one-thirteenth of the amount of butter produced by the 15,000,000 cows in this country. Besides this there is a large quantity of these substitutes made in Ire- land and in England. see Our Wholesale Quotations else- where in.this issue and write for Special Prices in Car Lots.
