MENTHOL INHALER

 

Quickly relieved by Cushman’s Menthol
Inhaler when all others fail. How is that
possible? Because by inhalation the very
volatile remedy is carried directly to the
delicate net work of nerves 1n the nose and
head, and applied directly to the nerves, and
so rapidly assimilated that quick relief is
obtained. It will last six months to one
year, and the last grain is as potent as the
first inhalation. You will find it sells rap-
idly. Retail price, 50c. .

LINKS A CAT FORGED.

It was past 11 o’clock when I opened
the door and the black eat walked slowly
out and down the steps, waiting to see if I
followed. I turned up the collar of my
coat, for the air was chilly, and went out
again into the beautiful October night. The
street was as silent as the foot falls of the
lithe animal softly walking down the steps.
The black cat led the way and I followed.
Why, I do not know.

Two nights before I had walked up from
my office late with a friend. It was long
past midnight when we turned into the
quiet street where I lived, talking about I
know not what. Suddenly there stepped
out of the shadow of a huge tree a black
eat. Looking neither to the right nor the
left she walked deliberately before us.

“Wa!” said my friend with a tragic air,
“a cat!—a black eat! Let us follow the
eat!”

And then he laughed, and even as he
waked the echoes down the street—I cannot
tell why—I shivered. The cat walked si-
lently along past the lower steps of the
flights leading down from the houses, keep-
ing a pace or two ahead of us. My friend
left me at his door saying: ‘‘Good-night,
Beware of the cat.” I went on to my house
not far beyond. At the steps the cat stop-
ped, hesitated for a moment and then walk-
ed up to the door. Somewhat surprised, I
followed.

I do not like cats. They seem to me to
be treacherous, dangerous brutes, and I am
even half afraid of them. But when the
btack cat stopped at my door, I determined,
for some inexplicable reason to admit her.
She seemed to know my room, for she
walked up the single flight of stairs before
me and entered the room asI opened the
door. Ifound her stretched out on the
floor when I had lighted the gas, and if she
had lived in my room all her life she could
not have appeared more at home. For the
same inexplicable reason that I admitted
the cat to my house I allowed her to remain
in my room.

The next evening I came in earlier; it
may have been 10 o’clock. The black cat
met me at the door and darted by me as I
stepped over the threshold. Then, as I turn-
ed to see whither she had gone, I felt a pull
at the leg of my trousers, and saw that the
eat had fastened a claw there and was cer-
tainly trying to draw me from the house.
I stooped down and softly stroked the ani-
mal’s back, at the same time disengaging her
claw. Then I turned and entered the house
and the cat, after a moment of apparent ir-
resolution, followed me, mewing strangely.

The next night she again met me at the
door, and the effort to draw me from the
house was repeated. The desire was so
apparent that I was puzzled, and I own, a
little disturbed. The cat went with me to
my room, and sitting there in the firelight,
with her bright eyes staring at me, I form-
ed a purpose to yield to this curious whim
if it were again displayed. I tried to reason
with myself, but reason seemed to have
given way to an impulse as uncontrolable as
it was mysterious.

I passed an uneasy night and then a day,
half hoping that when evening came my un-
bidden and unwelcome guest would be gone.
I heard the clocks in the houses along the
street where I lived strike 11 as I walked
down toward my door. AsI stepped over
the threshold I saw the fiery eyes of the cat
in the dark hall. <A cold shriver passed
through my frame. I trembled with an ex-
citement as intense as it was sudden. My
heart began to beat so loudly that I invol-
untarily held my hands over it as if to still
it. Then summoning my resolution I fol-
lowed the cat down the steps and strode
after her as she fiitted down the street.

It was a black night. Heavy, swollen
gray clouds had been hanging low in the
sky when darkness came on, and now they
drew a impenetrable veil between the earth
and the stars. The old, winding streets of
the quarter of the town in which I lived
were silent and deserted. Now and then a
gust of wind swept down and swung some
shutter back on its hinges with a hoarse grat-
ing sound. The moaning of the wind was
full of strange meanings to me. My
thoughts wandered off through the black
arches of that dismal night, and as I strode
down the street drawn irresistibly after the
noiseless blacks cat, there came up before
me a vivid picture of the tragedy which had
come into my life only a year before, when
I had completed my college course.

I saw my father’s house—a large white
building, surrounded by spacious piazzas
and standing in the middle of a wide, vel-
vet-like lawn. Isaw my father sitting in
his comfortable library, from which two bay
windows opened upon the piazza. He had
left my sister and mother and myself in an
adjoining room and was sitting at a table
facing one of the open windows. A stu-
dent’s lamp cast a soft, mellow light over
the room. Behind my father stood his safe
which contained a large sum of money,
put there to pay his workmen on the fol-
lowing morking. The door between the
library and room in which we were was
open, and occasionally he spoke to us.
Then came a long silence, and we heard

 

only the soft patter of the rain on the
piazza.

‘What can father be doing,” asked my
sister at length, ‘‘that keeps him so quiet?”

“‘Writing, I suppose,” said my mother.
“He is making up the pay rolls, you
know.”

‘*Then he’ll never get through,” replied
my sister, ‘‘for he has fallen asleep, I’m
sure.”

We listened again. We heard only the
steady, monotonous patter of the rain.

“Well,” said my sister rising, ‘‘don’t you
think I ought to wake him up, mother?”

“Yes,” answered my mother.

My sister went into the next room.

‘*Father,” she said, ‘‘wake up; it is grow-
ing late.”

There was no answer. The next moment
a piercing shriek ran through the house.

‘““My God! He is dead!”

Horror-stricken we rushed into the room.
The safe had been robbed and my father
shot through the heart while he sat not 30
feet away from us and we had not heard a
sound. At the post-mortem examination
they found in his body a curious missile
more than an inch long and shaped partly
like a bullet and partly like a dart. The
point was sharp and three sharp faces ran
back toward the body of the missile. Ex-
perts said the missile had been projected by
some force other than powder, else my
mother and sister would have heard the re-
port, and they talked very learnedly about
the application of compressed air and even
hinted at electricity. But what manner of
weapon the murderer used none could say.

I had mechanically taken the dart and
put it in my pocket. I always carried it
there in the vague hope that some day it
might help me to unravel the mystery of
my father’s death, which had slain my moth-
er and had rested upon my soul like a great
pall. Ihad that dart in my pocket even
then.

And there I was following a mysterious
cat out of the suburbs of the city in a gloomy
night and down a country road, moved by
some impulse which I could not explain,
and which, strangely enough, I did not want
explained. The cat turned into a lane lead-
ing to a piece of dense woods. 1 could hear
the bell in the cathedral tower striking the
hour of mid-night. Iwas cold—almost numb
—although the night was hardly chilly. I
wanted to go back, yet I went on. My eyes
vainly strove to penetrate the black arches
of the forest. The whispering of the night
wind in the trees was full of hidden mean-
ings. Cold perspiration trickled down my
forehead. My teeth chattered. My knees
knocked together. Yet I went on.

At the edge of the wood the eat paused.
I could not see her body, but her eyes glow-
ed in the darkness with a wierd light. She
began to mew and the sound echoed dis-
mally among the trees, dying away in
smothered sobs in the darkness. I could
tell by the agitation of the dead leaves at
my feet that the cat was scratching as if
hunting for something. Presently she ut-
tered a long, piercing ery that seemed to
make the very trees tremble, and then she
was silent and motionless. ‘Trembling vio-
lently I struck a match and stooped over
her. She had her foot on something half-
covered with leaves. It looked like a dead
branch. I picked it up. It was a gun—not
like any I had ever seen before, but still
like a gun. I looked at it blankly. Me-
chanically I drew from my pocket the ecur-
ious missile which IL always carried and drop-
ped it into the barrel. It fitted perfectly.
The horror that rushed over me when I
knew that I held in my hands the weapon
which had slain my father was too great to
be borne. The skies reeled above me. I saw
hundred pairs of glowing eyes. I tottered,
groaned and fell senseless upon the earth.

Two years passed away. I had not yet
solved the mystery. My sister was about
to be married, and I was preparing to go
to the wedding. She had been living with
relatives in Cineinnati, where she was com-
pleting her musical studies. There she had
met a young man whom I had never seen,
but who, all my relatives assured me, was
worthy to become my sister’s husband. He
had been in Cincinnati only two years, but
had made himself a favorite in the best so-
ciety of the city. He had plenty of money,
which he said he had made in the west,
where he had a large cattle ranch. I saw
no reason why I should object to my sister’s
choice.

I had invited Mortimer Melville to go
with me. Mortimer was my most intimate
friend, although I had known him less than
two years. I had the good fortune to find
his pocketbook, which he lost, and took it
to the business address written on a card
inside. From that trivial incident our
friendship grew up. We never visited each
other’s rooms, because we used to prefer to
sit together in the smoking room of the
modest club to which we belonged. Hav-
ing invited him to go to the wedding with
me, I was waiting for him in my room,
where he was to call for me on his way to
the station.

‘‘Come in,” I said, hearing a knock at the
door.

“Good morning, old fellow,” he said, en-
tering, ‘‘it’s a little early yet, but I confess

 

I was a trifle curious to have a peep at
your rooms before starting. Pretty comfort-
able place you have here, Bob.”

“Yes, it is. Make yourself at home,
Mort, while I try to coax the total depravity
out of this necktie.”

Mortimer strolled around the room look-
ing at the pictures. Sudenly he uttered an
exclamation of surprise. I turned and saw
him pointing at the black cat, which was
lying asleep on the hearth rug.

‘‘Where did you get that cat?” he asked.

‘She followed me home one night,” I
said.

**She’s mine,” he exclaimed. ‘‘I lost her
two years ago, before I knew you.”

Then he walked to the other side of the
room and called. ‘‘Here, Witch, Witch.”
The cat ran to him and purred around his
feet.

‘*You see,” he said, ‘‘she answers to her
name. But how on earth did you get her?”

I looked at my watch. We had an hour
to spare. I sat down and told him the
whole story. As I went on I noticed that
a look of deep trouble settled upon his fea-
tures. When I had concluded he said:

‘Have you the gun yet?”

“Yes,” I answered, taking it from a
closet.

‘*My God, I knew it!” he cried.
my gun.”

‘*Your gun!” I echoed, aghast.

‘“*Yes, mine.”

I stood looking at him for a moment, try-
ing to collect my thoughts. Thoughts too
terrible to entertain crowded upon me.

‘**You cannot be,” I said, *my father’s—”

‘No, no, not that,” he interrupted. ‘I
mean that I invented the gun. It was my
idea and the gun was made forme. It was
the first one ever, made, and—and I sold it.”

“Sold it!” Ieried. ‘*To whom?”

“Listen,” said Mortimer, ‘‘and 1 will tell
you all about it. God knows I have noth-
ing to conceal. I discovered a new and
powerful use of compressed air. I worked
at my idea a long time and finally made a
gun which was a success. I was poor and
needed money to push the invention, and
when one day a young man came into my
shop and wanted to buy this particular gun
I sold it to him. He said he wanted it as a
curiosity, and paid me a good round sum
for it. I know this is ‘the gun, because
there is no patent mark on it. The young
man was the son of a good family with lots
of money. I learned afterward that he had
a bad reputation. He lived a wild and dis-
solute life for a time, but I understand that
he reformed a couple of years ago, and is
now once more received in good society.”

“But who was this man?” I asked.
‘“‘What was his name?”

““George Sutherland,” said Mortimer.

I had never heard the name before, but I
knew that was the man I had been looking
for, and I could see another step toward
solving the mystery of my father’s death.
Without thinking of what I was doing I
took the missile from the chamber of the
gun and put it into my pocket.

**“Come,” I said, ‘‘we have just time to
see the chief of police and tell him about
this man.”

The chief knew all the details of my
father’s death, and with me had often ex-
amined the gnn. Mortimer gave all the in-
formation in his possession, and an hour
later we were on the road.

When we arrived at Cincinnati on the
morning of the wedding we went to the
house of my relatives. When we were told
that the groom had arrived Mortimer and I
went togeather to the room where the young
man was with his friends. I went in first
and was introduced to my prospective
brother-in-law. [found him a good-look-
ing man of the world, well fed, and rather
fascinating.

That was all I had time to notice before
Melville entered the room. I saw a sud-
den pallor come upon the face of the man
who was about to become my sister’s
husband. Mortimer Melville started for-
ward and without waiting for an introduc-
tion exclaimed:

“George Sutherland!”

That was not the name given to me in
the introduction. It was the name of the
man I believed to be my father’s assassin.
I staggered; my tongue clove to the roof of
my mouth.

“*It is he!” cried Mortimer.
the gun!”

“What do you mean?” stammered Suther-
land. ~

Then my senses returned. I drew the
curious missile from my pocket and held it
before his eyes.

‘*Miserable wretch!” I exclaimed. ‘*Look
at this—this you sent to my father’s heart.
But now you shall suffer for your cowardly
erime.”

I sprang forward to sieze him by the
throat. With a sudden bound he eluded my
grasp and the next moment sprang through
the open window into the street.

‘Stop him!” shouted; ‘‘stop the villain!’

Twenty men sped after him. He was
eaught. He confessed that the murder had
been the crowning act of his life, and with
the money taken from the safe he had gone
west and engaged in the cattle trade. Re-
turning under an assumed name, he had
seen and really loved my sister. He suf-
fered the extreme penalty of the law for his
crime. My sister, after a long illness, re-
covered and now lives always by my side.
We still keep the black cat.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

Acting on the suggestion made by THE
TRADESMAN last week, the Retail Grocers’
Association has extended a formal invitation
to the various business men’s associations in
Michigan to meet in Grand Rapids on Tues-
day, September 21, for the purpose of or-
granizing a State Protective Union. Those
associations which propose to be represent-
ed on that occasion are requested to notify
Tue TRADESMAN to that effect without de-
lay, in order that some idea may be obtained
of the number which will be present at the
meeting. Reduced rates can be obtained on
all the railroads in the State and efforts will
be made to obtain special rates at the hotels
here. The local association will provide a
suitable place to hold the meetings and the
indications are that the jobbers will join
with the retail trade in extending other court-
esies to the visiting trade.

 

One of the last acts of Mr. Tilden’s life
was to send to Senator Hawley a strong
letter in behalf of fortifications for our
coast, and the Senate, by a great effort, in-
creased the appropriation from three-quar-
ters of a million to nine times as much.
The bill'as it came from the House was a
paltry proposal to spend a small sum in
making preparations and patchwork. Mr.
Tilden’s letter to Senator Hawley reiterated
the need of vigor and openhandednegs in
this matter, just as his letter did to Mr.
Carlisle at the beginning of the session.
Mr. Carlisle paid no attention to the for-
mer letter; Mr. Hawley and his friends in
the Senate gave prompt attention to the
second. It was to be hoped that this action
of Mr. Tilden’s would lift the questlon out
of the arena of party conflict, and would
co-operate with the rise of clouds on both
our frontiers to induce the House to act fa-
vorably on the amended bill—an expecta-
tion, however, which was not realized.

 

The recent fire at Mancelona, involving a
loss of $60,000 worth of property, on which
there was an insurance of only $20,000, is a
severe blow to one of the most enterprising
towns in Northern Michigan. Mancelona
business men have now an opportunity to
bring@pto requisition all the pluck and per-
severance with which they have been cred-
ited. If half the wooden structures are re-
placed with brick, and the conflagration im-
pels the village board to provide adequate
fire protection in the future, the scourge
will not be without beneficial results.

 

 

 

 

President Wurzburg, of the Grand Rapids
Pharmaceutical Society, has received a let-
ter from Prof. Prescott, asking that any
recommendations he can make, or can ob-
tain from members of the Society, relative
to ‘the forthcoming National Formulary
should be handed in before August 15.

The area of corn this year is about 2,500,-
000 acres larger than last year, making it
75,600,000 acres. A damage of 25 per cent.
throughout the entire country would make
the crop about 1,500,000,000 bushels.

twenty-four applicationS for space from
houses proposing to make trade exhibits at
the fourth annual convention of the Michi-
gan State Pharmaceutical Association, to be
held here on October 12, 13 and 14. The
trade displays promise to excel anything seen
at any of the previous meetings of the Asso-
ciation.

The daily papers have had considerable to
say regarding the final wind-up and disap-
pearance of the produce firm of 8. J. Henry
& Co., but none of them place the ‘‘plunder”
of the firm higher than $1,400. THE
TRADESMAN has considerable inside infor-
mation which leads to the belief that the
concern is ahead at least $4,000 by its oper-
ations in this city.

The Grand Rapids School Furniture Co.
has lately received full orders for school
desks and seats from Alma, Boyne City,

under consideration a proposition from a
leading Chicago firm, which is anxious to
contract for $100,000 worth of desks for the
coming year.

When John Caulfield foreclosed his mort-
gage on the M. McArdle grocery stock on
Plainfield avenue, his claim amounted to
$375. He worked the claim down to $169,
when Amos S. Musselman & Co. bought
the mortgage and took possession of the
stock, hoping to secure a portion of their
claim of about $160. Mr. McArdle an-
nounces his intention of re-engaging in the
grocery business somewhere in the Southern
portion of the city.

Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of the
Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society, which
was held at THe TRADESMAN Office last
Thursday evening, was well attended.

C. E. Westlake was elected a member of
the Society.

At the suggestion of the President, Will
L.- White presented the following subject

for discussion at the next meeting: ‘‘Re-
cent additions to Pharmacy: Description

and Uses.”

Secretary Escott stated that he had found
the new acid test for distinguishing mor-
phine from quinine to work very satisfac-
torily. While nitric acid does not color
quinine, it turns morphine to a bright scar-
let.

Will L. White moved that the chair ap-
point a committee of three to meet with
the executive committee of the State Phar-
maceutical Association for the purpose of
arranging a programme for the coming an-
nual convention. The motion was adopted
and the chair appointed as such committee
Messrs. White, Tibbs and Escott.

The President was also instructed to ap-
point committees on finance and arrange-
ments and announce the same within a
week.

President Wurzburg enquired whether
any one present was aware that the clerks
were inaugurating a movement looking to-
ward the closing of the drug stores a por-
tion of the Sabbath.

W. H. Tibbs said he had heard of the
movement and thought the Association
ought to stimulate them in their efforts.

The President said he anticipated the
greatest opposition to the movement from
the suburban druggists, who regard Sunday
as their best day for trade. So far as he is
concerned, he is tired of working 365 days
a year and 366 on leap year.

Mr. Tibbs thought there would be no
difficulty in securing an agreement to close
the stores during morning and evening ser-
vice.

Dr. H. E. Locher suggested a committee
be appointed to circulate a petition to that
effect and solicit signatures, but it was fin-
ally decided to postpone the matter until
after the State meeting, and the Society ad-
journed until the evening of September 2.

Sunday for the Apothecary.
Correspondence Druggists’ Circular.

Shall the apothecary have his Sunday or
shall he not? It is not designed to discuss
this very pertinent query from the stand-
point of religion. Leaving it, where it isa
matter of conscience, to the intelligent and
satisfactory interpretation of each individ-
ual, and for such to accommodate his plans
and methods to his sincere convictions let
us answer the question from the stand-
points of nature, of business and of personal
rights. Nature works by antithesis. There
is agitation, then calm; work, then rest;
day, then night; and these resultants follow,
not the devious detours of caprice, but the
right line of everlasting. fiat, which alone
provides for infallible sequence. Nature
has abundantly provided for rest, and it re-
quires no special demonstration to establish
the fact that rest is natural. It certainly is
essential. Work represents wear, wear con-
sumes nerve force and tissue. Nerve force
is the outflow, so to speak, of that subtle
principle which tends to the conservation of
physical energy. This nerve force, which
is the body’s capital in the enterprise of life,
keeps it balance on the right side only by
proper and abundant rest secured to the in-
dividual.

A famous physiologist of the French
school has demonstrated by patient and ex-
act experiment that brain workers consume
as much nerve force in two hours steady ap-
plication, as mere hand-workers do in ten.
We wonder if he has ever calculated the
nerve and muscle expenditure of a pains-
taking and conscientious apothecary whose
brain and hands conjointly labor 16 or 17
hours every day, day in and day out, during
the weary months and lagging years. We
think it might paralyze his faculties if he
were to make theattempt. The heart needs
rest; the brain demands rest; the body ex-
acts rest; and the mind insists upon rest—
and the cruelest punishment that we can
inflict upon our physical and mental sys-
tems is to deny ourselves that amount of rest
which our nature demands. We run counter
to nature and must pay the price of our
temerity and presumption. We are not
pleading for extra hours for sleep merely;
we are advocating rest in that comprehen-

 

 

if we receive the word of the strongest sin-
ger of the centuries; and prep = of all
ovr time is the smallest safe allowance for
rest, if we are to believe the written exper-
ience and unwritten Jaw of the ages—an
experience indorsed and emphasized by and
ineradically impressed upon the judgment
of the race; and a law so manifestly a great
natural requirement in the exhibition of its
instinctive demands and original workings
as to suggest no possibility of appeal from
its decision. If, therefore, one-seventh of
our time be for rest, not necessarily for
sleeping, but rest from monotony, the ex-
actions, the competition, the wearying, wro-
rying, bitter cares and onerous responsibil-
ities of life—why not take this rest and en-
joy it? And in the enjoyment thereof,
grow younger in heart, sounder in judg-
ment, healthier in body, and more compre-
hensive in idea, rounded in character and
efficient in service.

We have been told by men, accustomed
to the management of large bodies of em-
ployees that the hands in all departments
who worked regular hours and quit system-
atically were the ones most to be relied_on;
and that the ones who, from choice or ne-
cessity, worked over hours, were the people
who, as a rule, prematurely broke down in
health and spirit.

An accomplished scientist, and expert in
two or three specialties, on one occasion in-
formed us, with a degree of enthusiastic as-
surance that spoke at once his profound
convictions, that even machinery was far
better for periodic rest—lasting longer and
running more smoothly—conditions which
he ascribed to molecular rest. Who has not
observed facts like these: A gaining or losing
watch begins to run regularly after a season
of disuse, a razor, rasping the chin and ex-
asperating to one’s temper, cuts keenly and
and comfortably after a period wherein it
had not been employed. . If dull, inanimate
matter can so deport itself as almost to com-
pel the belief that it requires rest, how much
louder the appeal from the highest of all or-
ganized beings for that rest which nature
would fain have him enjoy! So, from the
standpoint of nature, we See our title to one-
seventh of our time for rest, and what more
appropriate selection to make than Sunday?
But the very fact that we need rest carries
with it the correlative fact that activity is
also essential. Organized labor or activity
is called business; and business, in one or
the other of its multitudinous forms, en-
gages far thf larger portion of respectable
mankind.. There are three ways, and only
three, to obtain a living: to earn it; to beg
it or to steal it; and in these days of merci-
less unscrupulous, disreputable and revenge-
ful competition, any one of them is suf-
ficiently difficult; unless a fellow be as re-
signed to his laziness as was the western
tramp who refused to receive corn from a
charitable neighbor because it was not
ground into meal.

Since, therefore, we must work, it be-
comes us to labor with the greatest possible
attainable comfort. Keeping always in view
the propriety of a reasonable accommoda-
tion to our customers anda willingness to
serve them to the best of our ability, we
should not lose sight of an important con-
sideration—that we owe something to our-
selves as well as to these. our customers.
That debt we owe to ourselves is a closed
store on Sunday, and business reduced to
shortest daily hours. In other words, some
show of confirmation to the rules of retail
business, as such obtained in old and estab-
lished centers of traffic. It is a fallacy and
gloomy delusion to suppose that a druggist
must keep his store open all day and half
the night to accommodate an exacting pub-
lic. Because business has been run on this
basis in the past, should it be so transacted
in the future? Assuredly not, for reasons
which will be subsequently referred to.
The public is unappreciative and wrongly
trained. Unappreciative, because they de-
mand as a right, what has been too freely
bestowed. as a gratuity; our time, our
thought, our stores, our clerks, our days,
our nights have all been given to this sweet
and generous public. They come to us on
points of theology, of law and of medicine;
they buy a postal card from us, receive it
with a grunt in recognition, and spoil our
pens and ink (almost), in writing it; an ig-
norant nurse feeds a baby on the contents
of a pincushion, and they rush to us for ad-
viee—after they have tickled the baby’s
throat with a chicken feather, or nearly
strangled the young one with their fingers
run into its throat. This same lovely pub-
lic will purposely and designedly carry a
prescription in its vest pocket or hand-
satchel, from Wednesday until Saturday,
and then devote the last half of Saturday to
deciding to bring the prescription to the
drug store on Sunday. Think not we exag-
gerate the case in the least. Turn back
the leaves of experience; can’t we see one or
more of our characteristic customers invad-
ing our Sunday morning quiet, or our Sun-
day afternoon nap? possibly a venerable
man or woman whose Sunday penchant is
asafcetida, or valerianate of iron pills; or
some one for a salve or plaster for a chronic
ulcer; or another (and worse one) the talk-
ing friend, who delights in weary plati-
tudes and stony dullness generally—one
whose pathetic stories would make you

 

 

laugh, and whose jokes would make you
weep. All of them we’ve seen, and what
have we done thus to be tormented—thus to
be deprived of our Sunday? Our business
is too exacting, its details too tedious; its re-
sponsibilities too great; its honors, profits
and emoluments too shadowy, for us to
throw ourselves, our capital, our energy and
our life in for the benefit of the public, and
be denied our Sunday, with it all.

sive sense suggested by a consideration of
the matter from a natural standpoint. With-
out any superstitious leaning towards forms
or figures, we might mention that the
number seven, simply, or as @ multiple,
seems a suggestive factor in the evolution
of human affairs. Three score years and
ten, wrote the Psalmist, make the bridge of
life, whose abutments are founded in the
eternities; seven ages make the rounded life,

 

The habits of the public in their transac-
tions with the druggist are wrong, in so far
as hours of business are concerned. The
popular plan is exaction from the druggist
and the druggist submits in his renewed
and oft repeated tenders of additional con-
venience, until the distinction between his
life and one of qualified serfdom is dif-
ficult to make. However, we will not dis-
cuss this in extenso; we offer not an ex-
haustive, but a suggestive bill of grievances,
making the first count therein, our depriva-
tion of Sunday. But some will say: “‘It
is so easy to criticise, can’t you construct?”
In answer let it be said that the establish-
ment of a practical working plan, or at
least an approach thereto, must be found in
the deliberate counsel and willing co-opera-
tion of the trade. It would be easy in the
big cities and towns, if once put into prac-
tice, to close stores Sundays, agreeing that
a certain number in each ward or section,
proportioned to area of territory be open on
that day; different ones to take their turn
each Sunday, thereby insuring rotation of
service without conflict of interest. Or it
might be arranged to have open doors at
certain hours of the day, by the whole trade
or a portion thereof, as would be deemed
best by full consideration and vote. But
the trade will say, ‘‘We have tried that and
it will not work;” the plan wasall right, the
participants all wrong. So long as the drug
councils of the past were in session assem-
bled, all was peace and harmony and fra-
ternity; but when each reached his store,
then the fur flew. Fealty to reciprocity of
interest consists in more than mere prom-
ises; it abides in the continuity of intelli-
gent, honorable action to secure a definite
and desired result. And if we are to estab-
lish anything like freedom from the vicious
and limited conceptions that bind us to the
custom of treadmilling, it must be found in
just such action.

“But,” says the individual, ‘‘I can’t go
into any such a scheme, my neighbors will
keep open doors.” That is just what your
neighbors say of you. Unanimity of action
will remedy that. ‘‘But my customers will
desert me and go elsewhere.” Not at all, if
you will timely and pleasantly, and in a
business-like way show them the working
of the plan, exhibiting and demonstrating
that their convenience will be better admin-
istered under the new than under the old
plan. And suppose they go elsewhere,
what then? Finding ‘‘elsewhere” governed
by the same rules, and working on the iden-
tical principle upon which you are working,
they will return to you, and thank you in
the end for your course.

But I will lose my Sunday trade, etc.
Oh, no; don’t you see, you have it your own
way? You simply do now six days’ busi-
ness in seven; and if you can put that sev-
enth day’s business where it by right be-
longs, among the six, you secure that rest
period for association with your wife and
children, or for friendship’s services, or for
mental culture, or for whatever your tastes
and true inclinations and personal rights as
a free man may indicate. Lose Sunday
trade! We want to lose ours fifty-two times
every year, once every week, and that on
Sunday. Butin many places drug stores
do not close. Well, apothecaries are not a
traveled class of people, we take it; and
many cannot speak from positive knowledge.
theirs is vicarious information, so to speak.
This we know—in our own country and in
some of our busiest centers the drug store
closes its doors on Sunday; the apothecary,
like the doctor, can be found when wanted;
or it may be certain stores are open in town
each Sunday, or open certain hours to ac-
commodate necessitous cases, which, by the
way,{ are rare—nineteen-twentieths of all
Sunday business being that of convenience,
the renewal, the forgotten tooth brush, the
cake of soap, the never, and yet ever for-
gotten postage stamp, et cetera ad infini-
tum. In the great city of London, in Liver-
pool, in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paisley, Dub-
lin, in all England and her dominions, you
find the drug store a closed store on Sunday.
In Canada, you search vainly for entrance
to the pharmacy, unless there be a case of
sickness demanding service. In many of
the cities of the older portions of our own
country, the plan is to close all or part of
Sunday, and the proprietors and clerks and
patrons are all the better for it. It looks
like a difficulty to accomplish, the country
over such a desirable object; but intelligent,
continuous and honorable action will effect
the result. This rest is our right as citi-
zens anda duty we owe to ourselves and
families.

One practical and very plain suggestion
we would close with: If tailors, and butch-
ers and carpenters, and traders in all kinds
of merchandise can have their Sunday for
rest and recreation, and have the protec-
tion of law to insure them this right of con-
science and convenience, ought not we to be
sufficiently independent to work out this re-
sult for our comfort, our convenience, our
right? Itis not money so much as mind
that makes men; not cash so much as cul-
ture that aids character; and it requires time
to improve the mind and develop character.
That time for us must come from shortened
business hours during the week, and a free
Sunday. W. L. K.

A SOLID PHALANX.

 

 

Inauguration of a Movement for a State
Association.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of the
Retail Grocers’ Association, which was held
on August 3, was attended by about sixty
members and several representatives of the
jobbing trade. President Herrick presided
and E. A. Stowe acted as Secretary pro tem.

Applications for membership were re-
ceived from D. Seegmiller, 559 Cherry street;
Noble & VanVoorhis, 699 South Division
street; and G. D. Shoemaker, 295 North
College avenue—all of whom were elected
members of the Association.

E. E. Walker, chairman of the special
committee appointed to invite the job-
bers to attend the meetings of the
Association, reported that the committee
had called at the various jobbing houses and
was everywhere accorded a generous wel-
come. The jobbers all expressed themselves
as pleased to accept the invitation.

Mr. Walker also presented the report of
the special committee appointed to confer
with the Mayor relative to the proper steps
to be taken to remedy the peddling nuis-
ance. The Mayor is cordially in favor of
the movement and promises to do all that
lies in his power to assist the Association in
the matter.

Collggtor Cooper reported the collection of |
$124.87 since the last meeting.

Cornelius A. Johnson sent in his resig- |
nation of the position of Secretary, on
account of his retirement from the grocery
business and his contemplated removal from
the city. The resignation was accepted.

E. A. Stowe reported the organization of
an Association at Kingsley and the receipt
of a letter of enquiry from Saranac relative
to the proper course to pursue to form an
organization.

President Herrick said he was glad to see
representatives of the jobbing trade present

at the meeting and trusted their action in | P

the matter would have a tendency to bring
the two branches of the grocery business
closer together and create a more harmon-
ious feeling. He hoped the jobbers would
not be backward in presenting any subject |
which would be for the interest of the re-
tailer or the mutual interest of the jobber
and retailer.

QO. A. Ball said he was glad to meet with
the retail grocers, in whom he recognized
the hardest worked men in the community.
To be a successful grocer, aman must get up
early in the morning, remain up late at
night, keep his wits about him and be ready
to meet any emergency. If there was any-
thing he could suggest at any time which
would be of service to the trade he would be
only too glad to do so.

W. H. Hoops stated that his position had
been well stated by Mr. Ball, and Ad. Morri-
son, Fred Clark and Ludwig Winternitz ex-
pressed similar sentiments.

Mr. Ball said he wished to express his
gratitude to the Association for one thing
and that was the position it had taken on
the jobber selling at retail. A few months
ago, it was difficult to refuse an old friend
or neighbor, but now the jobber could point
to the action of the Association on that sub-
ject and secure immunity from that class of
trade.

B. F. Emery expressed the regrets of J.
A. Henry because of his inability to meet
with the grocers, but stated that Mr. Henry
would be in the city at the time of the next
meeting and would address the Association
on the subject of canned fruits and vegeta-
bles and the propagation and preparation of
the oyster for market.

President Herrick then brought up the
subject of a State convention, as proposed
in Toe TRADESMAN of last week, and in-
vited the opinion of the members on the
Subject.

H. A. Hydorn moved that the various as-
sociations of the State be invited to meet at
Grand Rapids on Tuesday, September 21,
for the purpose of forming a State Associa-
tion. ‘The motion was seconded and car-
ried, and President Herrick appointed a
committee of arangements consisting of
Messrs. Harris, Lawton, Hydorn, Emery
and Elliott.

E. A. Stowe was elected Secretary of the
Association. C. A. Johnson was voted $10
for his services, and the salary of the office
was fixed at $25 per year, beginning Aug-
ust 3.

The meeting then adjourned until Tues-
day evening, August 17.

The Michigan Tradesman,

Maxims for Merchants.
From the Dry Goods Chronicle.

A release from debt was always classed
in Roman law as a donation.

Misunderstandings of merchants are often
the renewals of confidence.

To buy or purchase a debt is always in
commerce termed to discount it.

Economists are agreed that whatever
gives a profit is properly termed capital.

According to the old Roman law—‘‘the
value of a thing is what it can be sold for.”

He who has acquired a talent at the price
of an annual sacrifice enjoys an accumulat-
ed capital.

A sale always denotes a transaction in
which one of the quantities exchanged is
money or credit.

The value of a promise is particular and
precarious,while money has general and
permanent value.

There are three distinct orders of ex-
changeable quantities which are typified by-
the terms money, labor and credit.

If a persen accidentally loses a thing or
has it stolen from him, he does not thereby
lose his property or right in it.

It is a general rule of English law that
a person cannot transmit to another any
better title to a thing than he has himself.

When a person advances money to anoth-
er and agrees to defer receiving the profit
until a certain time, the profit is termed in-
terest.

A man’s property may be called positive
and his debts negative; subtract his debts
from his property, and the remainder, if
any, is his capital. .

It is by the excessive creation of credit
that overproduction is brought about, which
causes those terrible catastrophes called
commercial crises.

There is no such thing as absolute value
or universal value, because there is nothing
probably which can be exchanged univer-
sally throughout the world.

There are only two fundamentally des-
tined ways in which capital may increase;
first, by direct and actual inerease of quan-
tity, and, second, by exchange.

Credit is anything which is of no direct
use, but which is taken in exchange for
something else, in the belief or confidence
that we have the right to exchange it away
again.

Aristotle says: ‘‘We call wealth every-
thing whose value is measured by money,
or rather, we may say, everything which is
exchangeable, as money itself is an ex-
changeable quantity.”

If all the balance sheets of every one in
the world were collected into one, the debts
and credits would mutually neutralize each
other, and there would remain but one sin-
gle account—existing goods.

All modern economists since Adam Smith
admit that abilities, skill, energy, capacity,
character and the personal qualities of the
people of a country are wealth, because
they can buy and sell their use and make an
income by their exertion.

There are six different kinds of exchange
or commerce: 1st, material product for ma-
terial product; 2d, material product for ser-
vice or labor; 3d, one kind of labor or service
for another; 4th, labor or service for a
right of action or a credit; 5th, material
product for a right of action ora credit; 6th,
one right for another right.

Points for Retailers.

 

 

 

 

From the Dry Goods Chronicle.

Take the bold step of gradually reducing
stock.

Seize the right time for modifying your
business with advantage.

Mind that you are not misled by bad man-
agement and loose book-keeping.

Better be understocked and weak-handed
than to have too much of either.

In stock-taking, let nothing but real val-
aie appear in the balance sheet, and under
rather than over value.

As arule, you lose people and their eus-
tom when they get into your debt. If pos-
sible, do a strictly cash business.

Let the benefit to accrue from the vigor-
ous use of the pruning knife sustain you.
It will come out all right in the end.

Make use of the telegraph when your
stock gets too small. The results of turn-
ing stock quickly are quite startling.

The true limits of credit may be seen
from the etymology of the word. It is a
promise to pay something in the future.

Strike off all customers who will not
steadily pay monthly. Keep strietly to this
rule and you will have a healthy business.

When you have commenced a business,
go thoroughly into it. Do not be ashamed
of an honest business that is supporting

é you. Make it honorable.

 

or

 

When an account is opened, ask the par-
ties to what extent they wish to go, and
keep them to the amount agreed upon,
which, with their name, should be entered
in the ledger.

To know when to retire from business
-and how to retirefrequires great judgment.
It is as grave a blunder to retreat too soon as
to hold on too long—to withdraw too sud-
denly as to linger too tenaciously.

Keep up your bank credit and gradually
reduce your discouut. Try by keeping a
fourth of your bills back for collection at
first, and gradually increasing the number,
to reach as soonfas possiblejthe point where
you will have no billsunder discount, but

all for collection.

The f following quotations are given to show
relative values, but they may be considered, to
some extent, ‘“‘outside prices,” and are not as
low as buyers of reasonable quantities can, in
most Instances, obtain them at. It will pay
every merchant to make frequent visits to
market, not only in respect to prices, but to
keep posted on the ever-changing styles and
fashions, many of which are never shown “on
the road.”’

“Tt i is s estimated | that the “annual rev enue
| from the 2 cent tax on oleomargarine would
‘amount to $1,000,000. This is on the basis
| of a home consumption of 50,000,000
| pounds, and is a low estimate. The ex-

| ports of oleomargarine last year amounted
to nearly 38,000,000 pounds.

It is said that most of the whisky of com-
merce is made of fusel oil, carbolic acid,
cologne spirits, and colored with alkanet
root when necessary.

Property in Patents.

There is a prejudice against patents. It
may not be general; it may be a lingering
remaining shadow of a once popular notion;
but it crops out occasionally in conversation,
in trading, in the newspaper and even in
the legislation of the country. Recently a
customer in an agricultural warehouse re-
fused an implement and questioned the price
because it was a patented article. He said
that all patented articles had a fictitious
value attached to them. Some time ago a
New York city paper published an article
arguing against the issuing of letters pat-
ent, on the ground that “‘it is questionable
if ideas can be bought and sold and protect-
ed in the same way as goods and chattels;”
and in relation to the success of an inventor
said, by way of illustration, that ‘‘possibly
many men had the idea in a more or less
developed state, but one, perhaps, reduces
it to practice, gets a little ahead of the rest,
claims a patent and shuts out all others.”
Followed to its ultimate this argument
would confine proprietorship to those tan-
gible objects which do not require ideas to
produce, or, soberly, it would limit personal
proprietorship to those articles the ideal sug-
gestion of which was confined to the pat-
entee or the inventor.

This notion of the intangibility of proper-
ty in ideas wrought into practical and use-
ful form is held by many who may be bold
enough or thoughtful enough to formulate
it into a proposition. But ideas are bought
and sold every day; the writer, lecturer,

| author, preacher, all sell their ideas; why

not the inventor? The man whose devel-
oped idea enables a farmer to house a crop
in two days instead of 20 days, one who in-
vents machinery that doubles the capacity
of a mill, ov@ht to be paid for his idea.

As matters now stand, inventors general-
ly—successful inventors—are not too well
paid for their ideas. In most instances the
inventor is a poor man, and frequently he
has to sign a portion of his patent right or
of his improvement to another to obtain
means to perfect it, to introduce it or to
sell it.. In many eases pirating robs him of
his profits, or legal contests reduce his in-
come. It is rare that the price charged the
purchaser for the improvement that is pro-
tected by a patent is greater than the value
of the improvement. But whether this be
so or not, it is undeniably true that an in-
ventor’s patent is his property as much as
his hat or his coat is, and his possession of
it should be as much protected by law.

Transporting Logs by Boat.

The Emery Lumber Co., of Tawas, has
originated a new method of transporting
logs from Canada to Michigan in the shape
of a “‘log boat,” which is evidently destined
to play an important part in future lumber-
ing operations. The boat, which is named
the Michigan, is 294 feet over all, 42 ft.
beam with 16 ft. depth of hold, and has a
tonnage of 1,227. She has one boiler, 15 ft.
long, 744 ft. in diameter and two engines.
One engine has 16x12 in. cylinder. The
other engine has two cylinders, 14x12 in.
each, and connected with two 18 in. pumps,
and also with an apparatus for hoisting an-
chors, of which she carries two, one weigh-
ing 1,600 pounds and the other 3,000 pounds.
The chain of the large anchor weighs twen-
ty pounds to the link, and is made of 124
in. wire. The apparatus for hoisting logs
on board is a slip that extends on an incline
to the water, in which an endless chain
runs, and on which are hooks which carry
the logs up the slip, which is jointed at the
rail and extends across the deck. Here men
with cant hooks receive and roll the logs off
on to the skids, where they are held until
wanted in the hold, they being there drop-
ped into five feet of water. The water comes
into the hold through a 10 inch aperture in
three hours, and the two 18 in. pumps
empty the hold again in four hours. There
are two of the slips. The logs are hoisted
out of the hold at the after hatches (of
which there are seven) by two upright slides
with arms, upon which the log rests. When
the log gets on deck, it rolls on toa set of
rollers that carry it overboard. The craft
has been loaded in less than 20 hours. She
has a full set. of canvass on four spars, 10
men for a crew, and earries about 700,000
feet of logs.

Hardwood Lumber Market.

Birch is quiet. Cherry is in better de-
mand and the price is bound to move up-
ward from this time on. Oak is fairly ac-
tive. Maple is not in much demand, the
market being well supplied with last win-
ter’s cut.

Good Words Unsolicited.
Dr. M. Meyer, druggist, Bannister: ‘I do
not want to be without THE TRADESMAN,”
Jno. R. Price, wholesale grocer, Chicago:
“Success to THE TRADESMAN, as it fully meets
the wants of the trade.”’
a >

Abraham Lincoln, many years ago, in’ an
address delivered in the city of New York,
gave the following advice to workingmen
which is pertinent at this time. He said:
‘That some should be rich, shows tha}
others may be rich, and hence is but en-
couragement to industry and enterprise.
Let not him who is homeless pull down the
house of another, but let him labor diligent-
ly and build one for himself, thus by exam-
ple assuring that his own shall be safe
when built.”

 

Tapping a Till With a Cane.

A novel device to render retail liquor sel-
ling unprofitable was revealed recently in
Boston by two young men carrying canes.
Entering the Milliken House bar-room,
where the proprietor kept a playful dog,
they at once proceded to cultivate Fido’s ac-
quaintance and entered into a lively frolic
with him. After paying for their enter-
tainment they departed. The proprietor
soon missed a $5 bill but hardly suspected
his two stranger patrons.

They came again and the frolic with the
dog was renewed by one of them, the own-
er’s attention being diverted by the other.
All at once young man No. 1 was heard to
utter an oath, and his cane fell simultaneous-
ly behind the bar. The owner of the bar
hastened behind it to pick up the stick, and
was surprised to see a bank bill adhering to
the end of it. A thought struck him.
Here was an explanation of the disappear-
ance of the bill on the «previous visit. He
immediately accused the two men of being
in collusion. They at first denied the theft.
Their canes were found to be flattened at
the end, and a little distance from the point
they were besmeared with mucilage or
pitch. While poking fun at Fido behind
the bar the money drawer was opened and
the top bill, adhering to the cane, was drawn
out. The dog in the last instance had seiz-
ed the stick and pulled it from the thieft’s
hand which accounts for the latter’s tell-
tale oath. The men were for some unex-
plained reason ~allowed to escape punish-

ment.

The strongest wood in Auivien, accord-
ing to Professor Sargent, is that of the hick-
ory of the Arkansas region, and the weak-
est the West Indian birch (Bur seva). The
most elastic is the tamarack, the white or
shell bark hickory standing far below it.
The least elastic, and the lowest in specific
gravity, is the wood of the Ficus aurea.
The highest specific gravity, upon which in
general depends value as fuel, is attained
by the bluewood of Texas.

Capital and Labor.

“Pray, Gussie, dear,” she coaxingly said,
“The difference tell me

’fwixt capital and labor, so

- That I may clearly see.”

He drew her on his manly knee,
And stroked her pretty head,
“Now, this is capital, my dear,”

The lover fondly said.

The maiden pouted as he spoke,
And crossly cried: ‘I see;
"Tis capital until we’re wed,
And then ’twill labor be.”

Bound to ‘‘Get Even.”
Train Talk in Chicago Herald.

“No, I’m not feeling very well,” said a
~ drummer in the smoking ear. ‘‘The fact is,
T’ve been losing too much sleep of late.
What doing? Scheming. Yes, I’ll tell you
what I’m scheming on. You know how it
is in the country towns, boys, where the fel-
lows who loaf around the hotels are always
trying to play jokes and sells on traveling
men. Asarule, the travelers more than
keep even with the boys, but of course they
are caught up once in awhile. I was never
badly taken in but once. That was last
week, over in Northern Michigan. I pride
myself on being a pretty good pedestrian,
and when the fellows in the hotel office got
to talking about fast walking, of course I
was in my element. I made my brags as to
what 1 had done and could do in the walk-
ing line, and was surprised to hear one of
the fellows stand up and make fun of me
and insinuate that I was lying. ‘Why,’
says this fellow, ‘you can’t walk a mile in
ten minutes, and I’) bet you $20 you can’t.’
Now, I haye often walked a mile in nine
minutes, and as this challenge looked like
a pienie I accepted it, pulled out my
money and said 1 was ready to perform my
feat. The other fellow produced his money,
too, greatly to my surprise, and then, to
avoid the possibility of ‘catches’ or misun-
derstandings I insisted upon having a
written memorandum of our agreement.
This he acceded to, and we agreed to post
the money with the landlord, that the time
was to be taken by the ‘regulator’ clock
which stood in the hotel office, that no watch
time taken by other parties was to influence
the referee’s decision, and that I was to walk
to a certain corner, which the county atlas
showed to be just a half mile away, and re-
turn. The wagerer was to accompany me
with his horse, and for extra precaution I
stipulated that if there should be any un-
usual obstruction in the road, or any one
should interfere with me, the bet was to be
off. also tested the clock fora few min-
utes by the second-hand of my watch and
found that it was all right, and engaged a
friend of mine, another commercial traveler,
to see that the clock was not tampered with.
In fact, I suspected that they had some
scheme for beating me, and determined that
I would not let them do it. After all the
arrangements were made and the memoran-
dum signed I started on my walk. The

thing seemed all right. According to my
watch, I made the first half-mile in a little
more than four minutes, and easily covered
the return in less than four minutes, giving
me a whole minute to spare. Imagine my
surprise on entering the hotel to have my
friend tell me that I had lost and enquire
what the matter was. I looked at theclock,
and, sure enough, I had been twelve min-
utes on the trip. I asked him if anybody
had tampered with the clock, and he said,
‘no, nobody has been near it.’ Again I
compared it for a few minutes with my
watch, and it was running right to the very
fraction of a second. This was a puzzler.
The money was paid over, and the town
fellows had a jubilee with it. But I was
just as certain as could be that they had
swindled mein some manner, and I deter-
mined to find out how. They had done
their work very sleekly, that must be ad-
mitted, but this only excited my curiosity
the more.

“That night, when everybody was asleep,
I slipped down-stairs and climbed up and
made an examination of the ‘regulator’
clock on which I had lost my money, and
toward which my suspicions had been di-
rected. Ihad no idea what the trouble was,
and went about the search in a blind way.
I knew nothing about clocks, and the
chances were that I would be unable to dis-
cover the nature of the little trick that had
been played on me. I fumbled and fooled
with the clock for ten or fifteen minutes,
and was just about to give up the search in
despair when luck came my way. As I was
climbing down from the chair on which I
stood I noticed a piece of white thread hang-
ing on the wall. This struck me as being
peculiar, and on following it up I saw that
it entered the clock. Tracing the other end,
I found it in the elerk’s desk ten or fifteen
feet away. Then the whole scheme was ob-
vious. The clerk and the local jeweler—he
was the man I had bet with—had fixed up a
scheme to beat me or any other such they
could catch on the time a mile was walked
in, the correct running of a pet watch, or
anything of that nature. The jeweler had
fixed things so that pulling at that thread in-
creased the speed of the clock about one-
fourth, and this was the manner in which
they had beaten me in my race against time.
In about sixty days I'll be back in that
town, and that accounts for my losing so
much sleep. I’m sitting up late nights try-

ing to hatch up a scheme to get even with.”

any other? Because the maker operates the
factory on the sweet curd theory, and does
not allow,the goodness in the cheese to burn
up with the acids.
