Any little excitement of an unusual nature disturbs the balance of the system, the ner- yous energies are exhausted, and headache and a hundred other disturbances are the re- sult. Many of the miseries of modern man and womanhood might becured and prevent- ed were their approach heeded and resisted, having their origin in derangements of the liver and blood, dyspepsia, jaundice, indiges- tion, costiveness and other unwholesome con- ditions. Evils of a diseased nature find a cer- tain cure by the use of Colden Seal Bitters. In this medicine, nature, aided by art, has pro- duced a rare combination of medicinal prop- erties, wisely adapted for the cure of diseases common to mankind. The vitilizing principles embodied in Golden Seal Bitters will assuredly cure the broken down dyspeptic.

I write these pages as a warning. 1 don’t suppose any one will profit by it. From the time of Cassandra downward, nobody has ever paid attention to warnings. But that is not my affair. A. New York newspaper, some years ago, gave up several columns of its valuable space to the question: ‘‘What shall we do with our boys?” I perused the correspondence with a strong personal interest, for I myself am the proprietor of a boy—several boys, in point of fact; but 1 refer more particularly to my eldest, aged nineteen, as to whom I felt that it was time something was settled. Ihave a great belief—partly derived from the before mentioned correspondence, and partly from my own observation—in study- ing a boy’s natural bent, and finding him an occupation in accordance with it. Such be- ing the case, I began tostudy Augustus with a view to finding out his special aptitude; but, unless a really remarkable faculty of outgrowing his trousers may be so regarded, Icould not for some time discover that he had any. By dint, however, of careful ob- servation and cross-examination of the household, I elicited that he was addicted to making extremely offensive smells in the back kitchen, with chemicals, and that he had what is called a ‘‘collection” of beetles and other unpleasant insects stuck on pins in a box in his bed- room. It appeared, therefore, that his proclivities were scientific, and I ulti- mately decided to make an analyst of him. Accordingly, after disposing of sundry pain- ful but presumably necessary arrangements as to premiums, Augustus was duly articled to a Public Analyst. I use capital letters because I observed that Mr. Scrutin himself always did so. Why, I cannot say. Possi- bly a public analyst—without capitals— would not command the same amount of public confidence. On consideration, I don’t suppose he would. Augustus’s first demand on taking up his new occupation was a microscope. ‘‘And while you’re about it,” he suggested, ‘‘it had better be a good one.” At first I was inclined to suspect that this was an artful device for the further indulgence of his en- tomological vices, and that the implement | would be devoted to post mortem examina- tions of deceased caterpillars or other kin- dred abominations. He assured me, how- eyer, that such was not the case, and that the microscope was nowadays ‘‘the very sheet-anchor of analytical science.” The ‘“‘sheet-anchor” completely took the wind out of my sails. [I feel that there is rather a confusion of metaphor here, but not being a nautical person, I don’t feel competent to set it right.] I surrendered, humbly re- marking that I supposed $25 would cover it. The youthful analyst laughed me to scorn. The very least, he assured me, that a good working microscope could be got for would be $50 or $60. Ultimately I agreed to pur- chase one at $50, and congratulated myself that at any rate that was done with. On the contrary it was only just begun. No sooner had my analyst secured his micro- scope, than he began to insist upon the pur- chase of a number of auxiliary appliances, which, it appeared, no respectable micro- scope would be seen without. He broke them to me by degrees. At first he only mentioned, if I remember right, an ‘‘achro- matic condenser,” at $10. Next. camea ‘double nose-piece” (why ‘‘double” I don’t know); then a polarizing apparatus anda camera lucida (36); then a micrometer and a microtome ($4 more); then somebody’s prism at $3; and somebody else’s micro- spectroscope, at | don’t know how much. Here, however, I put my foot down. Iam compelled to regard the sordid consideration of price, though science doesn’t. The microscope and its subsidiary appara- tus were duly delivered; but my analyst ap- peared to be in no particular hurry to con- vey them to the laboratory where he was studying. On my making a remark to this effect he replied: ‘‘Haven’t taken them to the laboratory? No; and I’m not going to. Mr. Serutin has got a precious sight better microscope than mine—cost $100 without the little extra articles, and they were about $60 more. He’s got a microspectroscope, if you like!” I refrained from arguing the point, and mildly remarked that in that case he might have used Mr. Scrutin’s microscope, and saved me some $73. But he rejected the idea with scorn, and explained that his mi- croscope was not for laboratory use, but for ‘private study.” So far as my observation went, my ana- lyst’s private study had hitherto been con- fined to a short pipe and the last number of some penny dreadful; but I did not think it wise to check his new-born ardor; I con- tented myself by observing that I only hoped he would ‘‘stick to it.” ‘‘No fear of that,” he rejoined, as indig- nantly as a limpet might have done in an- swer to the same observation. ‘‘Why, microseopy is the most fascinating study out. Just take a squint at that, now.” I looked down the tube, but couldn’t see anything at all, and made a remark to that effect. “Oh, that’s becaus@ you haven’t got the ¥ ” > I tried again, and saw a sort of network of red fiber. “Pll bet a dollar you can’t tell me what this is!” he exclaimed triumphantly. I owned the soft impeachment. “*That’s the maxillary gland of a rat.” “Dear me!” I said. “Yes. Isn’t it lovely? Here’s another. Now, just look at that.” (a queer, granular looking object.) ‘‘You don’t know what this is?” ' “Give it up,” I said. ‘*That’s a section of the epidermis of the great toe.” “Great toe!’ I exclaimed in disgust. “What on earth have analysts got to do with great toes?” “Oh, nothing particular,” he said airily. ‘‘But we like to have as much variety as possible. I should like to have a section of everything, if I could get it. Here’s an- other pretty slide; that is the section of a cliseased potato; and this one is a bit of a frog’s leg.” “Very instructive, I dare say,” I re- marked; ‘‘but I hope you haven’t made me spend $75 merely to improve your acquain- tance with frogs’ legs and diseased potatoes. Mr. Scrutin surely doesn’t analyze such things as these?” “T can’t say we do much in frogs’ legs,” he said; ‘‘but there are lots of things adul- terated with potato. Flour and arrowroot, and butter, and cocoa, and—and—a heap of things. And the potatoes just as likely to be deceased as not. It may be, anyhow, and there youare! If you don’t know what diseased potato looks like, your done.” **A pleasant lookout,” I replied, ‘‘if half a dozen of the commonest articles of food are habitually adulterated.” “Bless you, that’s nothing,” he replied. “If that was all, there wouldn’t be much harm done. There are a jolly sight worse adulterations than that. In fact, pretty nearly everything’s adulterated, and some of ’em with rank poisons.” ‘“‘Rank poisons! That’s manslaughter!” “Oh, no; it isn’t,” he calmly rejoined. “Of course they don’t put in enough to kill you right off. And if you find something disagreeing with you you can’t swear what it is. It may be the nux vomica in the beer; but it’s just as likely to be entozoa in the water, or copper in the last bottle of pickles. However, you’re all right now. With an analyst in the family, at any rate, you shan’t be poisoned without knowing it. Pll let you know what you are eating and drinking. This fellow”’—and he patted the microscope affectionately—‘‘will tell you all about that.” And it did. From that day forth I have never enjoyed a meal, and I never expect to do so again, I have always been particular to deal at respectable establishments, and to pay a fair price, in the hope of insuring a good article. I have, or had, a very toler- able apetite, and till that dreadful micro- scope came into the house I used to get a good deal of enjoyment out of life. But now all is changed. My analyst began by undermining my faith in our baker. Now, if there was one of our tradesmen in whom, more than another, I had confidence, it was the baker, who supplied what seemed to me a good, solid, satisfying article, with no nonsense about it. But one day, shortly after the conversation I have recorded, my analyst remarked at breakfast time: ‘‘We had a turn at bread yesterday at the labora- tory—examined five samples; and found three of ’m adulterated. And do you know” —holding up a piece of our own bread and smelling it critically—‘‘I rather fancy this of ours is rather dickey.” ‘*Nonsense?” I cried. bread—capital bread,” **You may think so,” he continued calm- ly; ‘but you’re not an analyst. I shall take a sample of this to the laboratory, and you shall have my report upon it.” “Take it, by all means. Butif you find anything wrong about that bread, Dll eat my hat!” ‘Better not make any rash promises. [ll take a good big sample, and you shall have my report on it to-night.” On his return home in the evening, he be- gan: ‘“‘’ve been having a go-in at your bread. It’s not pure, of course; but there isn’t very much the matter with it. There’s a little potato, and a little rice, and a little alum; and with those additions, it takes up a great deal more water than it ought, so you don’t get your proper weight.” **Ahem!” I said, ‘‘if that’s the case, we’ll change our baker. I’m not going to pay for a mixture of potatoes and water, and call it bread. But as for alum, that’s all nonsense. If they put that in we should taste it.” “Oh, no; you wouldn’t. When alum is put in bread it decomposes and forms sul- phate of potash, an aperient salt. It dis- agrees with you, of course, but you don’t taste it. As for changing your baker, the next fellow you tried might be a jolly sight worse; he might put in bone-dust, or plas- ter of Paris, or sulphate of copper. And besides, half the adulterations are in the flour already, before it reaches the baker. Of course, that doesn’t prevent his doing a little more on his own account.” And with that the matter dropped, so far as the bread was concerned; but my confi- “It’s very good gj dence was rudely shaken. A few days later my analyst remarked: **T don’t think mueh of this milk:” and he forthwith appropriated a sample for analyt- ical purposes; but, happily, was compelled to own that it wasn’t quite so bad as he ex- pected. It had more than its proper pro- sportion of water; but that might arise—he charitably suggested—from the cow being unwell. To make up the deficiency it had been fortified with treacle and colored with annatto, but these my analyst appeared to regard as quite every day falsifications. ‘‘Tt’s a raseally shame,” I said, ‘“‘if one can’t put faith in the milk jug. However, let us hope that the tea and coffee are all right.” *‘Not likely!” he rejoined. ‘Nearly all tea is ‘faced,’ as they call it, more or less, and the facing is itself in adulteration. As for coffee, you don’t expect to get that pure, do you? It’s sure to be mixed wlth chicory, anyhow, and very probably with roasted acorns, beans, mahogany sawdust or old tan. saked horse-liver occasionally; but that’s an extreme case. If by any remote chance there wasn’t anything wrong in the original coffee, you get it in the chicory; and very often there are adulterations in both; you get ’em twice over.” “Tf that’s the case, no more ground coffee forme. We'll grind our own, and then we are sure to be safe.” “You mustn’t be too sure of that. Some years ago an ingenious firm took out a patent fora machine to mould chicory in- to the shape of coffee berries. Smart chaps those! And of course they can put any- thing they like into the chicory before they work it up.” ‘*That’s pleasant, certainly. is one to secure pure coffee?” ‘**You can’t secure it, except by sending a sample to us, or some other shop of the same sort, to have it analyzed; and if it’s wrong, prosecute your grocer for adultera- tion. After doing that a few times, he might find it didn’t pay and give it up.” *““And how much would that cost?” Analysis of a sample of cotfee, $5; analy- sis of butter, 310; analysis of milk, $5; analysis of tea, $5. Those are the regular charges for private analyses. ‘*Rather expensive, it seems. much would it cost to prosecute?” “Ah, that I can’t tell you,” said the analyst. ‘‘Another fiver, or more, I dare- say. But look at the satisfaction.” I did look at it, but ultimately decided to give my grocer the benefit of the doubt, and cherise a fond hope that he was better than his fellows. The subject dropped. But a few days later there chanced to be apple- pudding on the table. With the dish in question my analyst had always been in the habit of consuming brown sugar, and a good deal of it. Now, however, on the sugar-basin—best Demarara—being offered to him, he put on an expression as if he had been invited to partake of black draught. **Raw sugar! No, thank you.” “What's wrong with the sugar? adulterated, too?” ‘Very probably,” he loftly replied. ‘‘But that’s a small matter. The genuine article is bad enough.” **‘Badenough?” indignantly interposed my analyst’s mamma. “Yes. Did you ever hear of the sugar- mite, Acarus succhari—” *“*No; I can’t say I ever did,” I said, ‘‘and I don’t want to, either. We have had enough of this sort of thing, and [ am not going to have any more agonies over every article we eat.” Thad again put my foot down. But it was too late. I had even forbidden my analyst, under penalty of forfeiture of his pocket-money for several months to come, telling us anything whatever about the food we eat or the drink we imbibe; but the mis- chief was done. I have lost my confidence in my fellow-man, and still more in my fel- low-man’s productions. I may try in an imperfect way to protect our household. I may give the strictest orders that none but the refinedest of sugars shall be admitted into our store cupboard; but who is to an- swer for the man who makes the jam and the marmalade, or the other man who makes the Maderia cakes and the three-cor- nered tarts? And how much is there that we have not heard? I have silenced my analyst’s lips, it is true; but there is also a language of the eyes, and still more a lan- guage of the nose, and when with a seorn- ful tip-tilt of the latter, he says, ‘‘No, thank you,” to anything, my appetite is destroyed for that meal. I can’t take a pill or black draught without my disordered imagination picturing my chemist ‘‘pestling a poisoned poison” behind his counter. I can’t even eat a new-laid egg or crack a nut without wondering what it is adulterated with. This is morbid, no doubt. I am quite aware that it is morbid, but I can’t help it. I am like Governor Sancho in the island of Barataria; my choicest dishes are whisked away from me—or_ rendered nauseous, which is as bad—at the bidding of a grim being who ealls himself Analytical Science. He may not know anything about it, or he may be lying; but meanwhile he has spoiled my appetite, and the dish may go away untasted for me. Truly, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. The moral of my painful story is obvious.

(@~ Subscribers and others, when writing © advertisers, will confer a favor on the pub- sher by mentioning that they saw the adver- isement in the columns of this paper. The conviction of a New York musician on acharge of conspiracy, which consisted of instituting a boycott on the proprietor of a music garden, together with the convic- tion and sentence of several other boycotters in various parts of the country, is likely to have a salutary influence over the class of disreputables who deliberately seek to de- stroy aman’s business. Nearly every State in the Union—Michigan not expected—has a law on the statute books which construes the practice of boycotting as a conspiracy and defines the boycotter as a criminal. In passing sentence on the New York musician above referred to, Judge Barrett gave the laboring men some very pertinent advice, which they would do well to heed: I confess that I am in sympathy with every honest effort of laborers to better their condition. It is therefore with sorrow that I observe an inclination to lawlessness among these classes, because I know that it will alienate sympathy from them. The hopes of the laboring classes depend on a rigid adherence to law. Ifa large body of men combine to violate the law the result will be war. I wish to give this counsel to all people who wish to bind themselves to- gether into trades unions. It is that before they appoint any committee they appoint a Committee on Law, with the power to ob- tain wise counsel, not the demagogue, be- fore taking any steps. Workingmen may combine together to better their condition and to get better wages, but they may not combine to conspire to interfere with the business of a man by forcing people not to deal with him. Tur TRADESMAN has no desire to belittle the attempted celebration of Independence Day in this city, but candor compels the statement that nothing like a general cele- bration will be observed here. In view of ghe three-day jubilee indulged in last year, it was thought best to give the surrounding towns an opportunity to celebrate this year, without let or hindrance. Late in the day, however, a traveling Indian show decided to make a stand here on the 3d and engaged several persons who are easily influenced by financial considerations to work up the semblance of a celebration, with a view to swelling the number of strangers who nat- urally flock to a large place on such an oce- easion. ‘The work was undertaken too late in the day to enable the projectors to ar- range a programme worth going ten miles to see and the necessary funds needed for a successful celebration are not forthcoming, as business men generally are not in sympathy with the movement. THE TRADESMAN utters this warning at this time, not to keep strangers away from the city on the 3d, but to prevent their coming here to be disappointed. There are plenty of things to be seen and any number of ways by which enjoyment may be obtained, but a genuine Fourth of July celebration is one of the things which cannot be seen in Grand Rapids this year. Rey. Morgan Dix, the eminent divine, pays the disturbing element in the labor- ind classes the following vigorous compli- ment: We have had enough of gush over the re- sults of social inequalities, of railing against capitalists, of slurs on respectability, of la- borious flattery of the workingmen. If the rich do wrong, so do the poor; and to each must his wrong-dealing be made plain. The criminal selfishness of the wealthy may be properly explained, and means devised, if possible, to stop the accumulation of riches by unholy acts and gamblers’ practices, but the working classes must be told, as clear- ly, that we are as fully awake to the wrong done by them as to the wrong suffered, and that forbearance reaches its limit whenever they, by secret organization and machinery of strike and boycott, and the slave’s obedi- ence to a despotic centralism, make them- selves public enemies and endanger the peace, prosperity and life of honest, unof- fending folks. ‘*To what is the remarkable success at- tained by Hanhah, Lay & Co. due?” is a question frequently asked of Tur TRADES- MAN. The results secured by the firm in question are due to perseverance, energy and good management, coupled with as grand opportunities as ever presented them- selves. Nobody ever heard any com- plaint from the employes of the firm. The The pernicious system of truck pay never found lodgment in their curriculum. Every one moved along in the line of promotion, from the lowest step to the highest. This condition of affairs attracted the best men to be had and gave the firm the advantage of experienced assistants, who were disposed to regard their employers’ interests the same as their own. The Ovid Union, which is usually noted for accuracy, falls into error in the follow- ing statement: And now Laingsburg wants a creamery. There is danger in creameries becoming too plenty for profit. : The Union should stop long enough to think that the establishment of creameries does not increase the quantity of butter made, but improves the quality. Moreover, it is well to bear in mind that while there is frequently no market for farm or dairy but- ter, creamery butter is always in demand at some price. The decision of the Allegan Circuit Court in the Norton & Wolff case, noted in an- other column of this week’s paper, brands Messrs. Norton and Wolff with the stamp of infamy. It maintains that they bought goods with fraudulent intent, knowing that they were insolvent and that they could not pay for them. Such wholesome lessons as Norton & Wolff have learned in this matter ought to serve as a warning to others who are inclined to follow in their footsteps, lest they fall in the same ditch. The Chicago Herald is being boycotted for publishing the following heresy: ‘‘Chi- cago did not make the West. The West has made Chicago.” This statement is as offensive to Chicago people as a red rag is offensive to an infuriated bull. AMONG THE TRADE. IN THE CITY.

In Holland the ‘‘apothecaries’ shops” are under government supervision. Druggists are required to have all the drugs named in the ‘‘Pharmacopceia Neerlandica.” While digging a well in Mexico, the workmen struck a vein of carbonic gas, which came near proving fatal to them. The well filled with gas and ran over the top. Lanolin is coming rapidly into use, con- sidering its recent introduction to the pro- fession in this country. One of the advan- tages it holds over lard for an ointment base, is the rapidity with which it is ab- sorbed. The Canadian Pharmaceutical Journal says that a quantity of benzoin was recent- ly offered in the London market which was originally shipped from Sumatra, by the Dutch settlers, in the year 1691. The ves- sel conveying the drug was wrecked off the Cape of Good Hope, and from that time until lately, the cedar cases of benzoin have been at the bottom of the sea. The rescued drug was sold to a firm of benzoic acid manufacturers, as drug merchants regarded the sample with suspicion on account of its peculiar appearance, which neither resembled that of the Siam or Sumatra kinds collected in the present day, though, on assay, it turned out to be much superior.

Tim, TRADESMAN is requested to state that those who expect to obtain their meals at the pavillion next Saturday should leave word to that effect with the landlord as soon as they arrive on the grounds, in order that the necessary arrangements may be made. Tne TRADESMAN would esteem it an especial favor to have its attention called to any errors or omissions in the list of traveling men, published in another column this week. ‘The list will be published again within a month, at which time it is hoped to have it absolutely correct. A Coopersville correspondent writes as follows: ‘“There was a fakir here last week who duped his patrons by means of the two- dollars-in-an-envelope trick. Dan Beecher, who carries credentials from Bulkley, Lem- on & Hoops, was one of the victims and Mike Griffin, our merchant, was also a heavy investor.” Wm. Logie, who has managed the contri- bution tothe U. B. A. Home, says that all the furniture and furnishings for the traveling men’s room have been purchased and put in place and that as soon as those of the boys who are in arrears hand in their dollars all bills will be paid in full. Those who have neglected to pay their quota to the fund are requested to hand the same to Mr. Logie during the present week or leave it at THE TRADESMAN Office. A description of the room, an inventory of its contents and the names of the donors will be published in THE TRADESMAN as soon as the work is completed. Traverse City Journal: One of the most pleasant society events that has ever oc- curred here, was the marriage of Miss Sybil A. Day, of this place, and Mr. A. D. Baker, of Grand Rapids, which occurred Thursday evening at the residence of E. S. Pratt. The house was elegantly trimmed with evergreens and almost an unlimited supply of flowers. At about 9:50 the nup- tial knot was tied by Rev. J. S. Large, and after the usual congratulations, the com- pany partook of an elegant supper. Amid the best wishes of all, Mr. and Mrs. Baker took the 12:30 train for Grand Rapids, which is to be their future home. Among the guests from abaoad were Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Dr. Gray, of Greenville; Mrs. See- ley, of Rochester, N. Y.; John P. Homiller and Sidney F. Stevens, of Grand Rapids; Miss May Davis, of Elk Rapids, Miss Bertie Billings and Miss Daisy Large of this place were bridesmaides, and Mr. Homiller groomsman. About 100 guests were pres- ent. Mr. Baker is a commercial man, rep- resenting the hardware firm of Foster, Stevens & Co., and his personal character of.

CUSHMAN’S MENTHOL INHALER Cold in the Head. Strictly speaking, this is acute Catarrh, and for want of effectual means of treatment little attention is paid to it, and its annoying symptoms endured for several days develop into something more serious by the in- flammation extending from the nose to the throat, lungs or ears. Cushman’s Menthol Inhaler acts promptly and as by magic, relieving the itching, tingling and stuffed feeling in the head. At first, it increases the watery discharge from the nose, and by its continued use reduces the inflammation, and within afew hours the watery discharge is diminished, and the complications which usually follow a cold are avoided. All druggists should keep the Menthol Inhaler. Re- tail price 50c. THE OLD RELIABLE Perry Davis Pain Killer, Established 1840. All Druggists Should Keep It. PRICES TO THE TRADE: Per Bottle. Per Doz.

BUSINESS LAW. Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. DEMAND NOTE—REASONABLE TIME. In states where ‘‘reasonable time” is de- fined by statute, a demand note, if not pre- sented for payment before the lapse of the time specified in the defining statute, is overdue so as to subject any one taking it to all defenses to which it would be open in the hands of the payee, according to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. ® NOTE — FRAUD — ATTACH- MENT. Where a note was accepted in the settle- ment of an open account as an absolute pay- ment of a debt due thereon, the Supreme Court of Kansas held that the fraudulent disposition of a part of his property by the «debtor several months prior to the execu- ition of the note, but during the existence of 7the- open account, was not a ground for at- ~ tachment in an action brought to recover up- , on the promissory note. PROMISSORY INSURANCE — LOSS — ASSIGNMENT CLAIM. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin, held that a town insurance company, organized under the laws of 1872, which had been compelled to pay a loss caused by a fire started through the negligence of a railroad company, could take an assignment of the whole claim for damages from the insured OF path of martyrdom and endurance, where the palm-branches grow, rather than the steep highway of tolerance, just allowance and self-blame, where there are no leafy honors to be gathered and worn.

According to a recent decision of the English Court of Appeal, the rule that money paid under a mistake of law cannot be recovered from the person who has received it does not apply where the money has been paid to and received by an officer of the court in Nis capacity as such.

To this the holder replied in a letter saying that he must look to the drawer to take up the bill. The Court of Appeal held that these letters amounted to a waiver, and were equivalent to an intimation by the party entitled to notice that he was aware that the bill would be dishonored and that he would ultimately be looked to for pay- ment. EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE—DISCHARGE. One James was employed by the Board of Commissioners of Allen county, Ohio, as superintendent of the stone and brick work in the construction of a court house, until the stone and brick work should be com- pleted, at a salary of $100 per month. He was discharged from this employment be- fore the expiration of the time Axed in the contract, but he was paid all the wages actually earned at the time of his discharge. He sued to recover certain subsequent in- stallments as though earned, but a demurrer to his complaint was sustained by the Su- preme Court of Ohio, which held that his remedy was by action for}fdamages arising from breach of the contract. anineeenteeiteietlaa-ei—illppienermninnenn Sayings of George Eliot. The yoke aman creates for fhimself by wrong doing will breed hate inthe kindliest nature. Ingenious philosophers ‘tell fyou, perhaps, that the great work of the steam engine is to create leisure for mankind. Do not be- lieve them; it only creates alyacuum for eager thoughts to rush in. A good, solid bit o’ work lasts; if it’s only lying a floor down, some body’s the better for it being done well, besides the man as does it. I wouldn’t give a penny for a man as "ud drive a nail in slack because he didn’t get extra pay for it. There’s nothing but what’s bearable as long as a man can work; the nature 0’ things doesn’t change, though?it seems as if one’s own life was nothingjbut change. Some folks’ tongues are likeSthe%clocks as run on strikin’, not to tell fyou} thetime 0’ the day, because there’s summat wrong i’ their own inside.

So much has been said of late years about the adulterations and impurities of food and drink, says the New York Tribune that itis little wonder that people have come to be- lieve these impositions and abuses prevail to a much greater extent than they really do. Thousands of persons talk about sanding sugar, grinding burnt beans with coffee, mixing willow leaves with tea, as though these frauds are regularly practiced by every grocer in the land. Nothing short of a chemical analysis would convince many that every quart of milk sold in the city is not more or less impure. There are those could not be induced to eat canned goods of any kind, while the aversion of some to pork, through fear of trichiniasis, is equal to Shy- lock’s hatred of the unlovely animal. All these are the evil results of an excel- lent reform, and are in a measure unavoid- able. That there is yet room for improve- ment in every department of food manufac- ture no sensible person will deny. Indeed, it may be fairly said that a reformation in many branches of this important business has only begun. But between the real limit to which the evil of adulteration prev ails and its imaginary extent there is a wide margin. Take the article of confectionery, for example. To many people an ordinary lump of candy represents a compound of glucose and terra alba, tinted with some poisonous coloring matter. Yet Dr. Edson is authority for the statement that there is not at present any injurious confectionery made or sold by any reputable house in this city. ‘‘How then,” it may be asked, ‘‘does it happen that so many cases of candy poi- soning occur?” The question was put to one of the most prominent manufacturers of confectionery in this city the other day by a Tribune re- porter and answered thus: “JT have made it a point of late years to investigate every case of alleged poisoning from candy that has been reported in and around New York. The result of these inquiries enables me to affirm that the majority of such cases are without foundation. It has become so cus- tomary to attribute unusual sickness of chil- dren to this source that many, including physicians, do so when thereare no grounds for it. I recall a case that happened in Brooklyn a year or two ago. Two children were taken ill suddenly and some of the papers reported that they had been poisoned by eating colored lozenges. Yet I have the written assurance of both the father of the children snd the physician who attended them that their sickness was due to other causes. In fact, they had not been eating candy at all for days previous to the attack. This is only one instance of many that I could tell you about. There are, however, some eases of candy poisoning that are gen- uine, but the candy is not the product of any reputable manufactory. It is stuff that is made by irresponsible persons in cellars and garrets, out of the way of the health officials. These persons, mostly foreigners, by the way, have no reputation to maintain. Their goods are hawked in the street for the most part, and they care little about the character or quality of the materials which they employ. It so happens, though, that they have little need for ingredients which are really dangerous. They make for the most part cheap, common stock, and corn meal, cerealine, starch and flour are the adulterants which they mostly use. If the health officials of other places were as wide- awake as they are here, it would not be long before impure confectionery would be un- known in the United States. . “But it is not the health authorities alone who are trying to abolish the use of poison- ous substances in this business. The Na- tional Confectioners’ Association, a society composed of the leading candymakers of the country, will not only expell any mem- ber found guilty of using terra alba or other mineral substances or injurious colors in the manufacture of confectionery, but will also prosecute the guilty persons. Further- more, it has a standing offer of $100 for evi- dence that will enable it to convict any per- son of this offense. The use of any mater- ial whatsoever that tends to reduce the gual- ity of candy below the sugar standard is dis- countenanced by the association. The con- fectionery business has been injured greatly by false charges, but the abuses will be cor- rected shortly by legislative aid.. The bill to amend the laws touching the adulteration of food, soas to include candies in its pro- visions, passed the Assembly and Senate and will doubtless become a law. This bill makes the use of deleterious ingredients in candy manufacture as great an offense in any part of the State as it now is in this city, which is under the special health code. Similar bills have been introduced in other State Legislatures where needed. There is no necessity for using any harmful material now. Sugar is cheap and chemistry has furnished us with all kinds of harmless veg- etable colorings, making it inexcusable for anyone to employ chrome colors, Prussian blue, burnt umber, or Venetian red. If you have any doubts about a piece of candy be- ing wholesome drop it into a cup of water. If pure it will readily dissolve, but if there are any mineral substances, tale or terra alba present they will remain undissolved. This isa simple test, but for ordinary pur- poses it is effective and certain.” ——— 2 “Silver King” coffee is all the rage. One silver present given with every 1 pound package.

It’s a long hard road to travel, The one I’ve journeyed on, Over the rough, sharp gravel From weary dusk to dawn. But now I’m overtaken; Booked for an outbound trip, All shattered and sorrow-shaken— A fellow that’s lost his grip. I was always counted plucky And independent sg Tilt became unluck Then ev’rything fell through: Inever did any shirking But somehow missed my tip, And it kills a man for working When he feels he’s lost his grip. We're all of us men and brothers While there’s an even race, I struggled like the others But couldn’t make the pace; And now in a stranger city, My life, like a sinking ship, Goes down, with none to pity The fellow that lost his grip. And to-day I heard the clinking Of rain-drops on the glass, Their patter through the chinking, Made some dull moments pass More quickly, for they brought me Relief in their cooling drip, Some little patience taught me— A fellow that’s lost his grip. I’ve been a wandering rover, A stone without the moss, If I could live it over Would life be such a loss? Would misfortunes still befall me Till they had me on the hip, And would the world then call me The fellow that lost his grip? How swift the time is flying, The goal is almost won; lam dying, dying, dying, Bewept, bemoaned by none. I hear the surf on unknown strands, I feel my moorings slip, Christ! reach me out ae saving hands, I’m a fellow that lost his grip. —_————— + Organization of the Sturgis Business Men’s Association.

Mr. Church explained the object of the meeting and related his experience in communicat- ing with the officers of several retailers’ as- sociations. In response to his inquiries, the Secretary of the Lowell Business Men’s Protective Association answered as follows: Our Association is working miracles. Men who never made any attempt to pay are now settling up even outlawed accounts. I tell you it ‘‘grinds” them awfully to think they will be listed as dead-beats. Fred Cutler, Jr., Secretary of the Ionia Business Men’s Protective Association, wrote as follows: We are very much pleased with the work- ing of the Association and have no doubt that if you organize one in Sturgis, and run it right, you will find it a paying institution. The chairman then introduced the editor of Tue TRADESMAN, who explained the aims and objects of retailers’ organizations. At the conclusion of his address, J. A. Dice moved that the organization of a Sturgis Business Men’s Protective Association be proceeded with and that every reputable merchant of the place be invited to identify himself with the movement. The motion was unanimously carried. The chairman was then instructed to appoint a committee of five to prepare a draft of constitution and by-laws, which was constituted as follows: J. C. Davis, A. D. Cory, Henry L. Anthony, L. P. Zent and H. 8. Church. The com- mittee was instructed to be in readiness to report on the evening of July 2, to which date the meeting was adjourned. The business men of Sturgis are alive to the benefits of concerted action on all mat- ters affecting the good of the trade and the indications are favorable for a large and prosperous organization. JENNINGS VINDICATED. He Maintains the Reputation of His Ex- tracts at Any Hazard. The reputation of Jennings’ extracts for purity and strength has become a matter of common acknowledgment. They have 1 stood the test of time and have come to be regarded by the trade and consumer as ab- solutely the best goods on the market. In view of these facts, Messrs. Jennings & Smith were somewhat surprised about two weeks ago to receive the following letter from a dealer who had handled their ex- tracts many years: , LAWTON, June 11, 1886. Mess. Jennings & Smith, Grand Kapics: GENTLEMEN—I sold six bottles of your best vanilla, to be put into ice cream, Wednesday, and it made twenty of our citi- zens very sick, so sick that some came near dying. What do you suppose was the mat- ter with it? The family who made the cream are not able to stand the loss (twelve gallons) and expect you will make it right with them and pay the costs of having it analyzed. Iate some of the cream and it made me very sick. I hope and expect you will have the vanilla analyzed, so that if it is pure I will not lose my trade on your ex- tracts, which I have handled for so many years now. Hoping to hear from you by return mail, I remain, Very Respectfully Yours, B. J. DESENBERG. P. S.—I hope you will vindicate your- selves’and me, as it will do us both great damage if it is not proven to be pure vanilla which was used. I think the vanilla is all right and the fault lies somewhere else. I expect you will have it analyzed by Prof. Kedzie of the Agricultural College, or at Ann Arbor, so that the people will see that it is impartial. D. Confident of the purity of his goods, satis- fied that the poisoning was due to causes other than his extracts, and determined that no one should say aught against their puri- ty, Mr. Jennings immediately repaired to Lawton, where he arranged with the per- sons who made the ice cream to send a quantity of the cream and also some of the vanilla to Prof. Vaughan, Professor of Chemistry at the State University, for analysis. Prof. Vaughan, whose reputa- tion is world-wide and whose opinions can by no possible means be impeached, reports the result of the analysis as follows: The poison in the ice cream is due to the decomposition in the milk. The poison I obtained from one-half pint of cream pro- duced in a cat the same symptoms which the persons suffered from. The people at Lawton thought that the poison was in the vanilla extract used and sent some of that, which I haye analyzed and used my self without find- ing the least.trace of poison. The poison is liable to be developed in any milk which is kept in unclean vessels or impure atmos- phere. I found no mineral poison in it, no arsenic, etc., but succeeded in getting the same poison as I did from the cheese last year. Such expert testimony as to the purity of Jennings’ extracts will forever put an end to all fear as to their wholesomeness and bring them new friends among people who are not sure the goods they are now using are equally meritorious. _——>>- Purely Personal. W. G. Austin, the Kalamazoo paint manufacturer, was in town last week on business. Dr. W. Ryno has not removed to Coloma, as stated last week, but will continue the practice of his profession in this city. Chas. E. Olney left yesterday for Thomp- son, Conn., to spend the Fourth with his family, who are summering at that resort. John Snitseler, of the firm of Voigt, Her- polsheimer & Co., is the happy father of a ten pound boy, which put in an appearance Sunday. Fourth edition. Les. Freeman, house salesman for Haw: kins & Perry, has gone to Denver, and will visit Leadville and other points before re- turning. Heis expected back about July 10. Peter Steketee, of the firm of P. Steketee & Sons, has gone East on a visit combining business and pleasure. He will visit Balti- more, Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston before returning. —__>_2..>—_—_- Miscellaneous Dairy Notes. The Chelsea creamery paid $2,250 for cream during the month of May. It has turned out as high as 1,000 pounds of butter per day. Chas. A. Barnes, of Otsego, and R. D. MeNaughton, of Coopersville, were in town Monday in attendance on the meeting of the Dairy Board of Trade. A rope used for hoisting cream cans at the Nashville creamery recently broke and let down a can containing about 35 guages of cream. Ora Hullinger was deluged with cream, and presented such a_ ludicrous sight that his fellow employes have not done laughing yet. ————»—-4 <> ____—_— The Grocery Market. Business and collections are both brisk. Sugars are about the same as last week, but an advance in the near future is by no means improbable. The new pack of Columbia River salmon will be considerably lighter than usual, as the pack up to June 24 was only about 100,- 000 cases, which is largely below the aver- age pack for this season of the year. The Sacramento River pack, which amounted to 48,500 cases last year, if a failure this year, less than one-third of the usual amount hay- ing been secured. Candy is steady. Nut are steady. Fruits are advancing and active. * iP -o-—_ Why is the Wayland cheese better than any other? Because the maker does not use a whey tank, but a cistern. L.

To get all we can and keep all we get isa doubtful natural right, and only applicable in a state of nature. Reputation is the salt of business; keeps it from decay and makes its workings safer than if regulated by statute. integ: y is the corner-stone of the char- of business. |now; I took A penny is a very small matter, yet the comfort of thousands of families depends upon the proper spending and saving of pennies. The best executive merchants are those who make their authority felt with as few words as possible, and never display it un- necessarily. A right measure and manner in getting, saving, spending, giving, taking, lending, borrowing and bequeathing makes the perfect business man. The refusal which is at once the most safe from vacillation, and perhaps as little apt to give offense as any, is the point blank re- fusal without reason assigned. Seventeen business men out of twenty will admit that the true way to make their employees take an interest in their work is to give them an interest in its results. In all cases of credit, where there are no words or acts of especial trust and confi- dence, the relation of buyer and seller, of borrower and lender, is one of mutual prom- ise and risk. Honor is the foster parent of credit. Itis the patron saint of business. It is to busi- ness men what courage is to the soldier, what zeal is the advocate, or impartiality is to the judge. Business engages, invigorates and en- larges the mind, its usefulness, promotes self-respect; its results, if successful, in- crease the power of doing what the head conceives and the heart desires. If there is any one worthy of success, in purchasing and selling pursuits, it is the man who looks into the resourees—the out- goes and incomes of the branch of business that sways his investments. Much depends upon the temperament of a merchant; it should he hopeful, that it may bear him up against faintheartedness, folly, falsehood and numberless discouragements. It should also be calm to withstand the pres- sure of business, and to prevent his running from one unfinished thing to begin some- thing else. Legal Enterprise in Dakota. “J sent you an account of $25 for collec- tion,” said a man coming into the office of a Dakota lawyer. “Yes, you did.” ‘“‘What success have you had?” ‘Sued him last week and got it.” ‘-That’s good. Give me the money and tell me the amount of your fees and I will pay you.” “My fees are $50. I have given you credit for the $25 collected—pay me another $25 and we’ll be square.” “What!” gasped the man, “I don’t see where I make anything by collecting the debt.” ‘Nothing, my dear sir; from a money point of view, but you can have the satis- faction of knowing that a dishonest: man has been brought to [justice! You can use your own pleasure about paying that $25 the e, Bt WM. SHEARS & CO. Cracker Manufacturers, Agents for AMBOY CHEESE. 37, 39 & 41 Kent Street, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
