It is curious that while the Chinese claim a remote antiquity for nearly all the pro- ducts of their long-arrested civilization they give what to them is a comparatively mod- ern date for the introduction of tea into the Celestial empire. And even then they trace the origin of the article to a myth. They tell us that about the beginning of the sixth century in our present reckoning, one Dar- ma, a prince of high principle and great piety, landed among them and gave up his life wholly to devotion. He entered no temple, but, living in the open air, gave day and night to prayer and the study of God’s works in nature, his aim being to so purify his life that in the end he would become ab- sorbed into the divine presence. He had an idea that if he could only conquer sleep so his mind might be forever alive to the im- pressions and scenes around him, and in constant meditation on the unseen, the sub- lime purpose he had before him would surely be attained. The weakness of the flesh, however, was too much for this en- thusiast. Worn out by his protracted vigil, he at length fell into a profound slumber; but instead of waking up with a sense of comfort and refreshment, it was in shame and humiliation that he opened his eyes, and in an agony of grief over his failure to keep awake he took a knife and cut off the offending eyelids. Returning after a time to the spot where this extraordinary penance was performed, he was amazed to find that the eyelids had taken root and developed into fragrant and beautiful shrubs. He plucked some of the leaves and eating them felt like a man transformed. A new joy possessed his mind, a new courage animated his body; he had found an elixir that con- quered sleep, and made persistent watch- fulness a certainty. It was in this fashion, say the Chinese, that the tea plant came in- to existence. The story is not so meaning- less as it appears on the surface. Apart from its spiritual significance, we see in the legend that from an early period tea was regarded as a preventive of drowsiness; and this, indeed, is the recommendation given to it by those Jesuit fathers who are sup- posed to have been the first Europeans in China to make use of the plant. We do not find mention of tea in litera- ture earlier than the sixteenth century. Certain Italian writers whof flourished then, speak of it, and one of them, anticipating Cowper, describes it: as ‘‘a delicate juice which takes the place of wine, and is good for health and sobriety.” Tea must then have found its way into Europe, and the Portugese were probably the first to import it. It was not, however, until about a cen- tury later that it was brought into England. 1t was sq much of a rarity that a gift of a few pounds of it to the sovereign in 1664 was considered a magnificent present. In 1667 a considerable importation of the arti- cle was made into this country, the amount being nearly 5,000 pounds, but it found by no means a ready sale. This was owing, perhaps, less to the price than to the preju- dice with which English people in the first instance regarded the beverage. When it was first offered in our markets from £6 to £10 a pound was asked; a little later £2 10s. was accepted. Garraway, of coffee house fame, was retailing it in 1657 at from 16 to 50 shillings a pound. In his advertisement he states that ‘tin respect of its former scarceness and dearness it hath been only used as a regalia in high treatment and en- tertainment, and presents made thereof to princes and grandees”; but a better era had now dawned, and Garraway tells us he ‘*first publicly sold the said tea.in leaf and drink according to the directions of the most knowing merchants and travelers in those Eastern countries, and upon knowledge and experience of the said Garraway’s continued care and industry in obtaining the best tea and making drink thereof, very many noble- men, physicians, and merchants and gentle- men of quality have ever since sent to him for the said leaf and daily resort to his house to drink the drink thereof.” Even Garraway’s reduced seale of prices and ac- complished brewing failed to create any great demand for the new beverage, and most of the writers and wits of the time are found satirizing it. Shadwell talks of it as something ‘‘for women and men that live like women”; but Shadwell, on Dryden’s showing being ‘‘round as a tub and liquored every chink,” could: hardly be expected to be partial to any such mild form of dissipa- tion. Steele was no doubt less prejudiced, but even he speaks bitterly of the new cus- tom of tea-drinking. ‘‘Don’t you see,” he makes one of the characters say of women, ‘‘how they swallow gallons of the juice of tea, while their own dock-leaves are trod- den under foot?” This, however, was but echoing the views of economists of the time, who had said that if such a decoction was to become a necessity it was ridiculous to pay heavily for what could just as easily be made out of sage and bramble leaves. Another complaint of the period against this new fashion of tea-drinking was that it gave rise to gossip and backbiting. ‘There is a letter in the Gentlemen’s Magazine for 1735 finding fault with ladies ‘‘who make their tea-table the mart to dispense scandal and attack reputations,” and later we have a writer in the Connoiseur bewailing the loss of time and the profanation of the Sab- bath consequent upon Sunday-evening tea- drinking. The beverage had by this time become pretty much a favorite at social gatherings throughout the conntry, and nei- ther the economists nor the wits could counteract what was quickly becoming a popular demand. Besides, tea had _ its champions as well as its detractors. Dr. Johnson came to the rescue, among others, and boldly confessed himself ‘‘a hardened and shameless tea-drinker, who has for many years diluted his meals with an infu- sion of this fascinating plant, whose kettle has searcely time to cool; who with tea amuses the evening, with tea solaces the mid-night, and with tea welcomes the morn- ing.” When we get to Colley Cibber we find the beverage apostrophized in this fash- ion: ‘‘Tea, thou soft, thou sober, safe and venerable liquid; thou female, tongue-run- ning, smile smoothing, heart-opening and wink-tipping cordial, to whose glorious in- sipidity I owe the happiest moments of my life.” Waller has the lines: The Muse’s friend, tea, does our fancy aid, Repress those vapors which the head invade, And keeps the palace of the soul serene, Fit on her birthday to salute the queen. Nor should Cowper’s delightful home picture be forgotten in this connection: Now stir the fire and close the shutters fast, Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round; And while the bubbling and toud-hissing urn Throws up a steamy column, and the cups That cheer but not inebriate wait on each, To let us welcome peaceful evening in. The question seems to have very early arisen in the use of tea, as to the amount of the infusion which one might safely take. Several medical men have pronounced it not only safein itself, but as conducive to health; and a Leyden physician, writing in 1671, commends it as a panacea for almost every ailment, and does not think that 200 cups daily would be too much for even a moder- ate drinker. This, however, was interest- ed testimony, the physician in question havy- ing, it is said, been bought over for the pur- pose by the Dutch East India Company. At the same time, there have been tea-drinkers whose appetite for the beverage was virtu- aliy. insatiable. It was not unusual for Rob- ert Hiali, the divine, to swallow twenty cups at a sitting. To Johnson, as already indi- cated, the beverage never came amiss. There is a story in which Sir Joshua Reynolds is credited wiih reminding him that he had just drunk eleven cups. ‘‘Sir,” said Johnson, ‘‘I did not count your glasses of wine; why should you number my cups of tea?” Then he playfully added, ‘‘If it had not been for your remark, I should have released the lady from any further trouble; but you have re- minded me that I yet want one of the dozen, and I must ask the lady to roundup the num- ber.” The story does not end here, for we are assured that, as Johnson was sipping his twelftheup, he told how, on one occa- sion, being invited to a party to be made a lion of, he had his revenge by swallowing twenty-five cups of tea, and not treating his hostess to as many words. The right method of preparing tea for drinking was not, at first, easily understood. The Chinese say that we have not mastered the secret yet; but we have, undoubtedly, improved upon the instructions left by an authority in the last century, whose advice was either to boil and drink the liquid when the leaves settled to the bottom, or steep the tea over night in cold water and boil in the morning before drinking. Crude as this sys- tem was, it was preferable to boiling the leaves, and then eating them with butter, pepper, and salt, as was done in some coun- try places in ignorance of the proper use of the plant. There is reference, also, to acus- tom, in the last century, of first serving the tea in liquid form, and then spreading the leaves between thin slices of bread and but- ter, and eating them as a delicacy. The distinguishing names for tea are not expressive, as is generally supposed, of par- ticular varieties of the plant. They relate chiefly to the conditions under which the leaves are picked. The principal black teas are bohea, congou, souchong and pekoe; while green teas are known as hyson, twan- kay, and gunpowder. Of the black varieties pekoe stands first, and of the green, gun- powder has the preference. ‘The pekoe con- sists of the buds and very young leaves, and is gathered early in the spring. ‘The sou- chong is the result of the second picking, which is made about the beginning of May. Congou is the name given to the third pick- ering, and bohea is alate leaf. Ofthe green teas, hyson is a gathering of tender leaflets, and gunpowder is a selection of hyson. The twankay is the last crop of the season. China continues to be the principal source of the English supply of tea, although we now import largely from Assam and India, alse. In the United States, the Japanese variety is at least as extensively used as the Chinese. The fact that other places than the Celestial Empire now cultivate the tea plant is a benefit to the consumer, not only in a larger supply of the article, but also as a protection against adulteration. The best quality of tea never leaves China; it is too precious a commodity there. Besides, to en- joy tea in its choicest flavor it must be used when pérfectly fresh, and this freshness is impaired by the drying processes to which the leaves must necessarily be subjected for export. The effect of competition, however, upon the Chinese merchant has had the ef- fect of making him more careful in the ‘‘sort- ing” of the article, and we have the satis- faction of knewing that, while tea is now cheaper than ever in England, it has not fallen off in quality. You’d Better Pay as You Go. Emily S. Bouton in Toledo Blade. It is a very convenient thing to have a standing account at a store, where you can goat any time, order what you please and have it charged, without the worry of hav- ing to consider whether you have enough money in your purse to pay for it or not, but it is also true that these items, small though they may be, mount up with appal- ling rapidity into a sum that always sur- passes expectation. Besides this, the very best calculators, and those who generally use a wise economy, buy things in this way which they could easily do without, did they take the time for reflection, which cash pay- ments would often compel. It is so easy, when an article that seems at the time de- sirable is seen, to order it sent and charged for, that temptation overcomes the buyer, before the strength which comes from look- ing at the matter on all sides enables her to resist the impulse to buy. Often purchases are made in this way, and regretted, while something that was far more necessary must, in consequence, be gone without. Merchants understand that a great deal more is likely to be bought where there is a running account than when cash is paid down, which explains their readiness to trust those whom they have reason to be- lieve will pay what they honestly owe. The excess will, in nine cases out of ten, more than compensate for the loss of interest up- on the outstanding sums, though there is no question but that they sometimes lose large amounts by the failure of individuals, through misfortune, sickness, death or deliberate raseality, to discharge their debts. Of course, there are very many women who cannot control this matter. Their husbands are the treasurers and dispensers of the fam- ily finances, and cash payments are impos- sible without the masculine approval. They see the matter only in the light of diamond cut diamond. Their customers make them wait for their returns, why should they not proceed in the same way? Nor ean they be made to see, even from a. selfish point of view, that the pay-as-you-go system, so far as family expenses are concerned, is far cheaper in the end, to whatever extent it can be made practicable. And, truth to tell, it would be far easier in most cases to carry it out than they will acknowledge, even to themselves. The women, however, who can command the money, and those who earn their own living, will be far wiser to adopt the rule of buying nothing, which they cannot im- mediately pay for, or for which the money is at their command in a future so near as to make it a certainty, than to have things charged week after week with the expecta- tion of settling it in a time which may find them in a position that will render the pay- ment a most difficult matter. Uncertainty is an element entering very largely into this life, and those people who have the fewest odds and ends floating out, to become tangled at some inopportune moment, have generally the greatest measure of happiness. A little self-denial in the present may save you a large portion of discomfort in the future; for to the thoroughly honest person, that one who means to deal fairly by his kind, a debt that cannot be paid is an ever- pressing nightmare. —— i - Cold Storage. From the American Analyst. One of the branches of business which has of late taken on large proportions is cold storage, or refrigerators to preserve dried fruits, tobacco, fish, butter, eggs, furs, fresh fruit, poultry, ete. One of the largest of these concerns occupies a building 400 feet square. In an interview the following facts were obtained: ‘In our forty-eight cold storage rooms,” said he, ‘‘we have more than fifteen miles of distributing pipes. There are three boilers, generating 300 horse-power. We use so much water that we have sunk an artesian well in our courtyard at a cost of $3,000, and we get an unlimited supply of clear water without calling upon the city. The building is provided with automatic fire alarm wires and the doors have burglar alarms. All our partitions and floors are of patent stone composition. They cost $70,- 000 and are absolutely fire-proof. For the cooling process we use pure anhydrous am- monia. This ammonia is pumped to the roof and subjected successively to compression, expansion and condensation; then it is fore- ed into small pipes running into large tanks filled with brine. This brine becomes in- tensely cold and is passed in pipes through- out the system of rooms. The tanks are lined with galvanized iron and are complete- ly water-tight. The ammonia comes from the small pipes at a temperature of 10° Fahrenheit. The mechanical appliances would make thirty tons of ice per diem if used for that purpose. Some of the pipes are continually sheathed in a coating of ice three inches thick. The great advantage of our method over ice is that the temperature is constantly under the immediate and abso- lute contro! of the mmanager, and different temperatures can be maintained in the vari- ous rooms. By merely turning a valve, which regulates the flow of the brine, we can get a temperature from 10° to 45° Fahrenheit. We have a method of ascer- taining the temperature of any room at a given time by the use of the tele-thermome- ter and its registering dial, which cannot be manipulated or doctored, but which tells the unadulterated truth. “If a patron is afraid of taking cold by stepping ona summer’s day from an out- side temperature of 90° Fahrenheit, he may simply look at the register and see the exact degree of cold to which his goods are subjected. In one room there is space for 30,000 boxes of cheese. Different commo- dities demand different degrees of heat and cold. For dried fruit 40° Fahrenheit is required; for tobacco not less than 45° Fahrenheit. Fish must have not above 20° Fahrenheit, and butter from 36 to 38°. The egg rooms need 38 to 40°, and fur calls for 40° to prevent the breeding of moths and Pears demand 34,> and lager beer will not be satisfied with a higher temperature than 36° Fahrenheit. We have frequently more than $4,000,000 worth of goods in store. are in use. We take no fibrous goods, such as cotton. The risks of fire are too creat. We have ice store-rooms for butter else- where. Ice is used there simply because some persons fear that the butter may be flavored with the ammonia. This would be utterly impossible. But if they prefere ice they can have it.” other insects. Twelve elevators —— o aoa The Country Store. From the San Francisco Chronicle. Did you ever glance through a country or suburban ‘‘general store.” When the usual economical man, whose taste does not run to the plow, the rather gentle and unambi- tions gentleman, with the pretty blonde wifeand anew baby every year, looks around in a quiet spot to see what he can bring inte the village for a little capital to sell ata moderate profit, he sees the limits of every special article except whisky, and he goes in for everything. Of course he has sehool books, some of them rather out of date, but still full of questions and answers and fig- ures and facts. Toys he must have, and here and there you will find the transparent slate, the brilliant top, the puzzle of last century, the old, old figures that we—if you are old enough to be included—were brought up to consider the height of ingenuity, the acme of entertainment. You will find candies in bottles, made on old principles and healthy to eat if pasty to look at. There may be flies in the bottles, but with ingenious youth they pass for enrrants, and once in a while the storekeeper comes across a drummer who sells him a lot of old, faded faney boxes from dead Christmas times and birthdays of the past, and breaks up the vil- lage with the sensation. Then you’ll find slate pencils. They have but little faith in the comprehension of their customers, these country storekeepers, and so they always tie the pencil to the slate so that there can be no mistake. Stacks of picture books of a pattern the city kid would turn up his contemptuous nose at, will be found in kind of boxes or mangers all bundled up together, and sold, apparentiy by their thickness. Balls of twine, Bohemian glass inkstands of cheap price; note paper with fashions in crests and monograms, and things that have passed into limbo; lead pencils that have ‘job lot” written all over them; motto lozenges, with the mottes half melted away: all sorts of toys and useful things in thin metal and painted wood, and the open-eyed child wanders through the place as if it were in fairyland. acl ales oc Too Late for Co-Operation. From the Workman. “T used to believe in co-operation a good deal more than I do now,” said an employer of labor, a man who had worked up from the bench, to the writer not long ago. “When I started this shop 1 wanted to make it co-operative. I made the men an offer to lay aside a portion of their wages— they were receiving the highest current rates—as a fund to use in the business. It was no go, they wouldn’t do it. They wanted to get their full pay, whether I got anything or not. I took the risk alone. IL made the fight without their help. I won, and now I propose that they shall get their wages, as they have done, and I'll get the profits, and they’ve no reason to growl about it, either.” Aaa eee He Knew Coffee Beans. “Have you been doctoring this coffee, Johnny?” asked old Brown, smacking his lips in a suspicious manner. ‘*Yes,” confessed little Johnny, looking across the table at Merritt. ‘I heard Cora say that-Mr. Merrit didn’t know beans, so I put a few in his coffee just to test him.” \S The Michigan Tradesmna. / JOURNAL ‘DEVOTED ‘TO THE Hercantile and Fannfacturing Interests of the State.

A QUESTION AMD ITS ANSWER. Bia RApips, Jan. 31, 1887. &, A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Srr—As a reputable merchant and aman who pays 100 cents on the dollar, I am pleased at the way you treat those mer- chants who fail dishonestly or as the result of careless business methods. Only one thing is not clear to me—do you show such matters up in the hope that such publica- tion will serve as a warning to other dealers or do you ‘‘sit down on” the bankrupts through sympathy for the jobbing trade? I am aware that your paperis always on the side of the retailer, when his interest comes in conflict with the jobber, and I trust you will take no offense at my question. Yours, MERCHANT. The readers of THe TRADESMAN will bear witness to the fact that ‘‘Merchant” is right in the statement that this paper ‘‘is always on the side of the retailer, when his interest comes in conflict with the jobber.” The question he raises, however, strikes deeper, than jobber or retailer, inasmuch as itaffects both classes of trade, and the whole commercial world as well. There are six great factors of commerce—the grower, the manufacturer, the broker, the jobber, the retailer and the consumer. Each factor is necessary to the other, and so long as each is content to take a moderate profit on the articles of necessity and luxury, as they pass from the producer to the consumer, he is doing a legitimate business and perform- ing a duty to himself and the public. When- ever he allows the feeling of duty to sur- render to the power of greed, the factor breaks the chain of commercial responsibili- ty and does every other factor an injustice from which it is impossible to recover. The failure of the manufacturer compels the grower to make up his loss on subsequent sales, and the same condition is true all along the line. The failure of a consumer to meet his obligations compels the retailer to make up the loss on subsequent sales, and the failure of the retailer produces a corresponding result among the jobbing trade. Water will seek its own level, and just as surely will prices be governed by the losses occasioned through failure in any of the various branches of trade. This explanation ought to be sufficiently explicit to set at rest any apprehension which may exist in the mind of ‘‘Merchant” relative to the motives which stimulate Tre TRADESMAN in denouncing the failures of dishonest and reckless dealers. It is not the loss occasioned the jobbing trade that animates Tie TRADESMAN, but rather a realization of the fact that such failure will result to the disadvantage of other dealers in the same Jine in the manner indicated. The efforts of THe TRADESMAN in bring- ing about a better system of retail collec- tions and credits than is now generally in vogue is on a par with the policy in the di- rection ‘‘Merchant” refers to. Anything which tends to reduce losses to a minimum will have a corresponding effect on prices, and equitable prices are the life of trade. GARNISHEE ‘EXEMPTION. At the September meeting of the Michi- gan Business Men’s Association, a resolu- tion was introduced to the effect that the present garnishee exemption is conducive to injustice to the merchant, without corres- ponding benefit to the honest debtor, and recommending that the $25 exemption al- lowed a married man be reduced to $10. The resolution met the unqualified disap- proval of a delegate from Sand Lake, and was subsequently withdrawn. The subject has not been allowed to sleep, however, and the agitation in favor of reducing the ex- emption is likely to receive fresh impetus by the introduction of a bill in the House of tepresentatives, at Lansing, providing for the exemption of heads of families from the garnishee law. This measure is fathered by a Detroit man named Judson Grenell, who has gained some notoriety through an attempt to secure the taxation of church the committee now having the matter under property. The former measure is not likely to receive a favorable report from consideration, but in case it should come before the House for action, business men all over the State should make no delay in informing their representatives in both houses how they will be expected to vote in the premises. Tue TRADESMAN will note the progress of the bill and notify its read- ers in time for aggressive action. Among those who have given the present garnishee law careful thought is President Kelsey, of the Ionia Business Men’s Associ- ation, and Tue TRADESMAN has no hesita- tion in saying that the substitute he pro- poses for the present law seems to possess all the elements of equitableness and pro- .tection to both merchant and debtor. Mr. Kelsey has put his idea into legal form, as it could be brought before the Legislature, as follows: Bre Ir ENACTED by the State of Michi- gan: ee 1. That every married person in Michigan employed by any person, firm, company or corporation in said State for wages by the day, the week, the month or the year, be exempt in the sum of one dollar per day for every working day, to and inclusive of twenty-five such days. 2. That it shall be lawful for any creditor in said State to institute garnishee proceed- ings against any married creditor in the State aforesaid, who shall be a creditor for at least six days’ labor for wages of any person, firm, company or corporation, as aforesaid, any claim for exemption to be based on the sum of onedollar per day, said days not to exceed, in any specific cause or action, the number of twenty-five, as here- in prescribed. 3. That all acts relating to exemptions in favor of wage workers in Michigan, and that conflict with this act, be and the same are hereby repealed. The points Mr. Kelsey makes against the present law seem to Tur TRADESMAN to be irrefutable. For instance, the married man who is paid $25 per week, or $1,300 per year, is practically uncollectable, while the man who earns $30 per month, or $360 per year, is subject to the operations of the act. Such discrepancies do not seem to be in the nature of even-handed justice, and Tue TRADESMAN trusts that the paper which Mr. Kelsey has now in preparation for presentation at the March meeting of the Michigan Business Men’s. Association will treat the subject so thoroughly that the measure he proposes will be adopted and a plan of action decided upon. PR TEE EO Is the cash business conducive to cutting? That is the opinion of many merchants. The man who sets out to do a cash business must necessarily sell goods a little closer than the dealer who does a large credit bus- iness. The latter will usually assert that he can sell goods as low as anybody, and the result is a lowering of his prices to the basis of the cash dealer. The ready-pay merchant is then compelled tommake another reduction, which the credit dealer again meets. - 2 <> Purely Personal. G. W.

The ‘‘Cloverdale” creamery, at Nashville, turned out 120,000 pounds of butter the past season. The business men of Tustin are consider- ing the project of establishing a creamery at that place.

In regard to the question, ‘‘Should the system be used upon open ac- had an informal talk on the subject and, without exception, all seemed to think it should be used on jall accounts of whatever nature.

COoOPERSVILLE, Jan. 29, 1887. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Sin—At the regular meeting of the Business Men’s Association last Friday evening, the following names were present- ed for membership: William Mines, Park- hurst Bros., A, E. Landon, all from Nuni- ca; and John A. Wagner, of Eastmanville, making a total of forty-five members. The majority of the members report good success in collecting their old accounts and are doing less crediting than heretofore. Yours truly, Rh. D.

Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Sir—I enclose draft for $2.50, be- ing per capita dues for the Charlevoix Busi- ness Men’s Association. We voted to join the State association and our membership now reaches twenty-five names and firms. If any particular form of application is necessary, please send it to me and we will fill out properly. Several of the merchants report collec- tions, as the result of the moral influence of the Association, although I have as yet not sent a second notice as Secretary. Yours ree R. W.

Faul & Velte, the Woodland hardware dealers, have collected over $100 worth of accounts given up for lost through the col- lection department of the Woodland Busi- men’s Association. Geo. E. Steele, President of the Traverse City Business Men’s Association, spent last week in Grand Rapids, in attendance on the annual convention of the Michigan Engi- neers’ Association. The Charlevoix Jowrnal combines the publication of the constitution and by-laws of the Charlevoix Business Men’s Association with pleasant reference to his paper, the whole being furnished gratuitously to the members of the Association. H. E. Hesseltine, President of the Casno- via, Bailey and Trent Business Men’s Asso- ciation, was in town Monday. Heisenthu- siastic on the subject of organization, hav- ing already secured the collection of several accounts long ago given up as lost. The February Notification Sheet of the Michigan Business Men’s Association is now in press and will be mailed to associations auxiliary to the State body before the end of the present week. Beginning with this month, each association will receive as many sheets as it has auxiliary members. Freeport Herald: The Freeport Business Men’s Association is continually gaining in numbers. At the last regular meeting, the Association decided to ask Lowell, Hastings and other surrounding towns who have or- ganized, to exchange delinquent lists. The arrival of these lists will have a tendency to check the prosperous career of persons who are continually on the watch for new fields to conquer. The lying dead-beat has had his day. The organization of the Owosso Business Men’s Association was completed last Tues- day evening by the election of John Osburn, S. Lamfrom, J. F. Laubengayer, FE. A. 'Todd and S. E. Parkill as members of the Execu- tive Committee and G. R. Black, C. J. Stuart and C. 8. Williams as members of the Business Committee. The constitution of the Plainwell Association was adopted. The present membership is forty-seven. Secretary Ramsey, of the Kalkaska Bus- iness Men’s Association, lets the cat out of the bag. In his letter, in another column, he discloses the fact that President Hamil- ton is working up a convention of the Norhern Michigan Associations, to be held just previous to the March meeting of the Michigan Business Men’s Association. Just what designs Mr. Hamilton and his eo-con- spirators have on the State Association re- mains to be seen. Agreeable to invitation, the editor of Tire TRADESMAN met with the members of the Tonia Business Men’s Association last Fri- day evening and talked over with them the project of re-organizing their Association on a broader and more modern basis. The meeting was largely attended, showing that great intesest is felt in the well-being of the organization, and President Kelsey is well qualified to lure the members of the Asso- ciation into a degree of activity unsurpassed in any other town in the State. ~~ Allegan Joins the State Body—G ood Work Reported. ALLEGAN, Jan. 18, 1887. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR SrR—On January 4 our Association decided to become a part of the State Asso- ciation and accordingly voted a per capita tax of $2.80 for that purpose. I therefore enclose that amount, which kindly place to our credit and put us on the list. It gives me much pleasure and _ satisfac- tion to be able to say that the Allegan Bus- iness Men’s Association is in a vigorous and flourishing condition. We have nearly doubled our membership since Dee. 10, the date of our first existence. The collection department is doing great work and giving splendid satisfaction to all members who have availed themselves of its benefits. We have several committees busily engaged with different projects, among which are the introduction of electric lights for illumi- nating business places, streets and_ resi- dences; the building of a side-track, con- necting our water power and mills with the railways; the organization of a stock com- pany to build and operate a creamery, fruit dryer and canning factory. It is becoming apparent to the business men of Allegan that great work may be accomplished here by united effort. Only one-half, or less, of our immense water power is now being utilized for manufactur- ing purposes, and special inducements will Cordially be offered during the coming sea- son, to manufacturers who are seeking available locations, furnished with first-class water power and numerous other advan- tages.

Dumon, of this place, wishes to join the State Associ- ation, providing it gives him the privilege of using the collection department as a means of tollecting, and of cutting off ab- sconding debtors from further credit in other towns where they now reside. An aggra- vating case now in hand is with parties now leaving town, with everything covered by mortgages, given to avoid paying honest debts. The “parties names are Coe. They have been renting Dumon’s building and running what was known as the ‘Quaker Store” ‘and are now coming to Grand Rap- ids, to beat some one else. They are locat- ing near a school building, the street @and number being 154 Broadway, as near as I can remember. 1887. Respectfully, F, Hisparp.

Frank Hamilton, Traverse City: DEAR Srrn—Replying to yours of the 13th, I would say that I have seen most of the business men of our place and I enclose a list of the names of those requesting a meet- ing. They all seem to be interested in the matter. Please advise us as to the day you will be here. I give you the name of Wm. Upton to correspond with, as I am going west to be gone about a month. Yours truly, E. E. Woopwarp. The following gentlemen signed the call for a meeting: Wm. Upton, A. G. Butler, D. B. Butler, Betlows Bros. & Lockhart, H. Wiltse, H. Lockhart, J. May, A. Brewer, Woodward Brothers, Geo. Woodward, Fred Kern, Chandler & Fuller, E..W. Palmer, W. H. Chambers, C. Burmeister, McIntosh & Keifer, J. H. Woodward. as The Way it Works. From the N. Y, Confectioner. Some persons wanta fine quality of goods, while others care more for quantity. A larger stick can be made for a penny, out of molasses, than out of refined sugar. Yet the purchaser who desires the sugar stick because he thinks it better does not wish the molasses stick even if it was four times as large, and the dealer who would insist on selling a molasses stick as a refined stigar stick wonld be guilty of a fraud on the cus- tomer just the same, although the only dif- ference between the two would be one of taste and not of quality. What is desirable is for the merchant to sell his goods for just what they are, and then, if the purchaser desires to indulge in inferior goods, because they are cheaper, it is his own affair. ———__ ~> -9- =< He Expected Her. From the Detroit Free Press. I suppose that was your wife who was in here while you were down town?” querried anew clerk in a Grand River avenue grocery to the proprietor as he entered. “T don’t know. What did she say?” “Nothing.” ‘‘What did she do?” “Emptied the contents of both money drawers into her pocket and walked off as cool as January.” “Yes, I suppose it was her, James. I thought she might turn up, and that is why I left only forty cents in change in the store.” —— 2 An Allopathic View. All the virtue there is in homceopathy lies in the imagination of the patient, and so far as the hope it can inspire is salutary, just so far may cariacature on medicine become beneficial. This is all there is in it. No man with his wits about him, who pretends to practice medicine, can believe for a mo- ment that a dose of medicine attenuated to infinity, or water potentiated by moonshine, can have the least effect save through the imagination of the credulous. nnn Boric acid has been used as a local anws- thetic. es aA ONGEST: RK Pee ae FOR LUA LORY Se yea Tt Ni Pa =< CC j clloke the ke ee aren ore TA PT ec AUT ees om rs FOX & BRADFORD } 5 EXCLUSIVELY WHOLESALE CIGARS! 76 South Division St., Grand Rapids, - Mijich.

INSOLVENT CORPORATIONS. According to the decision of the Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey, a corpo- ration, although insolvent, may, unless pro- hibited by law, sell and transfer its proper- ty, and prefer its creditors. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS—ACCOUNT. Upon a contract to account annually for sales of patented articles, the statute of limitations begins to run from the time for accounting and not from the time of sales made, according to the decision of the Su- preme Court of Pennsylvania. ATTACHMENT—PRIORITY OF LIEN, The Supreme Court of Kansas held that the lien of a mortgage executed before the levying of an order of attaciment, but not recorded until afterward, was prior to the lien of attachment, although the attaching ereditor might not at the time of the levying of his attachment have had any notice of the mortgage. ACCOUNTS CONCERNING MERCHANDISE. In order to prevent the operation of the statute of limitations, mutual accounts must be such as concern the trade of merchandise and upon which an action would lie, accord- ing to the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. In this case the court held that a demand by an attornoy-at-law for professional services was not an account that concerned the trade of merchandise and had no effect upon ihe running of the statute against a claim by a client based on a demand for farm produce furnished. LIABILITY OF CONNECTING LINES. Where a through ticket is purchased for passage over several connecting lines, and baggage which is checked thereon is lost, the passenger cannot hold the last connect- ing line liable for the loss of the baggage, unless he proves that that particular line caused the loss. So held by the Supreme Court of Kansas. CHATTEL MORTGAGE OF GRAIN. In the case of Clark vs. Voorhees, the Supreme Court of Kansas held that where a chattel mortgage was given upon a certain number of bushels of grain out of a larger quantity which was not uniform in quality and value, the whole of which remained in the possession of the mortgagor until it was attached by his creditors, and where the description in the mortgage, as well as the mortgage itself, gave no clue by which the part intended to be mortgaged could be dis- tinguished by third parties from the remain- der, the mortgage should be held void for uncertainty. ne Foreign Wages. Extract from a Glasgow Letter. I find wages low all over Ireland and Seotland, and I have visited many factories and talked with both managers and labor- ers. The hours are long, the work in many eases very hard, and wages very low. Rents are high in comparison with the accommo- dations and the only one thing [ find cheap- er is clothes. Good food costs the same and meats are fully as high. The laboring classes live on cheaper kinds of food than working men do, and they have less of it. Whole families live in one or two rooms, and the cost is all the way from $25 to $50 per year. They live in the cities in flats, and their conveniences gre very few. The wages of mechanics and skilled labor run form $1 to $2 a day, and itis a very good man indeed who gets the latter. A news- paper proprietor in Dublin told me that he could get good reporters for from $6 to $7 per week, and they would be shorthand men and well educated. The managing editor of the largest paper in Ireland, gets only $2,000 a year, and his salary is considered a large one. I saw men working on the road in Ireland at 25 cents per day, and many of the women in the factories of Belfast get no more, and work from6 a. m. to6 p.m. Here laborers get from $4.50 to $5 per week and board themselves. Carpenters, printers, coopers, and masons earn about $7.50 per week, and shoemakers the same. The plumbers re- ceive only $7.50 per week in Glasgow, and tailors only $7.25. Many boys and little girls are employed in the factories, and the whoie family works to keep the wolf from the door. Still, under these disadvantages the Scotch blood makes fortunes, and there are instances of poor boys becoming wealthy right here amid such surroundings. nse a iieo Oleomargarine in Ohio. Gen. H. S. Hurst, State Dairy and Food Commissioner of Ohio, has filed a report with Governor Foraker, in which appears the sub-report of Assistant Commissioner John J. Gehan, from which the following interesting statement of the condition of the oleomargarine business has been condensed. But few dealers were found selling oleo- margarine outside of the cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo. In these four cities the wholesale dealers reported the sales of oleomargarine during the win- ter months to have been usually about four times those of dairy butter, and that in every ease the price of oleomargarine was regulat- ed by that of butter. Two oleomargarine factories in Cincinnati closed soon after the passage of the law, and one sold its machin- ery. Ail the oleomargarine in Cincinnati, Dayton and Lima was manufactured in Chi- in Dublin, | cago, while Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Columbus supply Toledo. After much dif- ficulty and a threat of seizure, the Chicago manufacturers were induced to brand their product. During the past four months fully half the shipments to Cincinnati were re- shipped to Kentucky, which has no oleo- margarine law. Of fifty-two samples of butter analyzed, thirty-two were found to be oleomargarine, and the average of thirty- two was nine per cent. butter to 91 per cent. adulteration. The enforcement of the. law in Ohio is said to have reduced the sale of oleomargarine 80 per cent. since the na- tional law took effect. Assistant Commis- sioner Henry Taleott reported that inspec- tions in Cleveland showed that oleo oil, the basis of oleomargarine, is in his opinion un- fit for food. A Clerk’s Story. ‘“‘When I used to ’tend store the old man came aroun’, and says he, ‘Boys, the one who sells the most between now and Christ- mas gets a vest pattern as a present.’ May- be we didn’t work for the vest pattern. I tell you there were some pretty tall stories told in praise of goods about that time; but the tallest talker and the fellow who had the most cheek of any of us, was a certain Jonah Guires who roomed with me. He could talk a dollar out of a man’s pocket when he intended to spend only six-pence; and the women—they just passed him their pocket-books to lay out as he pleased. One night Jonah woke me up with, ‘By jove, old fellow, if you think that ’ere’s got cotton in it Pll bring you down the sheep it was cut from and make him own his own wool. Won't wear out either; wore a pair of pants of that stuff for five years, and they are as good as when I first put them on. Take it at thirty cents and I will say you don’t owe me anything. Eh—too dear? Well, call it twenty-eight cents. What d’ye say? All right. It’s a bargain.’ I could feel Jonah’s hands playing about the bedclothes; then rip went something or other, and I hid my head under the blankets, convulsed with laughter, and perfectly sure that Jonah had torn the best sheet from top to bottom. When I awoke the next morning I found my night-shirt split from the bottom to the collar-band.” i Sure Test for Oleomargarine. John Ballord, the Davenport, Iowa, drug- gist, has discovered a practical test for oleomargarine, which is as follows: Take the sample of supposed butter to be tested, and if you find a red hair as long as your arm, you may be satisfied that a woman made it, and that it is genuine but- ter, as oleomargarine is manufactured ex- clusively by short haired or bald headed men.

A well-known druggist sends THE TRADESMAN the following stunner, which he was recently called upon to translate: ‘*TADINEMATASED.” This conundrum is about equal to the problem proposed by Dr. G. W. Crauter, of “Self Paddock’s Ink” fame. The transla- _tion will be published next week. In the meantime, Tur TRADESMAN goes Six months free to the person sending in the first correct solution. —-- e—————_—— Vaseline is a product now forming an article of con¢iderable commercial import- ance. Its darker and more impure forms are used for lubricating purposes and to prevent steel and iron goods from rusting, while the purer and whiter grades form the basis of the majority of ointments. It is prepared from crude petroleum oil by sim- ple distillation until the more volatile oils have passed over, when a mass remains in the still, made up essentially of fhe various paraffines. The crystallizable paraffines are removed and the residue is then simply purified, without any further distillation, by treatment with sulphurie acid and superheat- ed steam and final decoloration by filtering through animal charcoal. Castor Oil. Florida is following Louisiana in the at- tempt to make money out of the Ricinus communis. -o- <> New Deal in the Seed Business. A. J. Brown, the well-known commis- sion merchant of this city, has added a new feature to his business. He is putting in a complete stock of garden and house seeds and garden implements, representing James Vick, of Rochester, N. Y. Vick’s seeds are always reliable and very popular, especially among the market gardners of this city. Anyone wishing seeds in large or small quantities will do well to send their order to him, as he is enabled through buy- ing in large quantities to supply the trade much cheaper than they can be bought direct. Send ten cents in stamps for Vick’s beautiful Floral Guide, which amount will be deducted from the first order. _ i> a—— ‘The Right Spirit. After rapping two or three minutes to bring the chief clerk to his window yester- day a well-known citizen blandly said: “‘T found this bunch of keys outside here; probably belong to some business man who | was in after his mail.” ‘All right,” said the clerk, and the bland- ly-spoken man went out. Fifteen minutes later he returned, rapped again, and just as blandly said: “Will you let me see those keys?” ‘Yes, Sir.” “Ah! they are mine! I discovered it after climbing three * flights of stairs. Much obliged for your assistance in doing the pub- lic a favor.” i J. B. Ketchum, general dealer, Fremont: “J would feel lost without it.”’ B.
