ONE AND THE SAME.
Written for THE TRADESMAN. :
“By the way, Mr. Sprague, you don’t
happen to know where I can get a good,
bright boy to work in the store, do you?”
The speaker was a young man, seated in
a luxurious easy chair in the parlor of the
house wherein dwelt a young lady to whom
the aforesaid young man was paying
marked attentions. Jack Chesney had been
endeavoring for some time to reach a satis-
factory opportunity of requesting the afore-
said young woman to share his joys and
sorrows, but she, had most skilfully kept
him at bay, at the same time tightening the
bands that held him to her side.
The gentleman Jack addressed was Ethel
Sprague’s father, with whom he was on
most friendly terms, and Ethel was sitting
across the room, demurely engaged in some
sort of fancy work.
“Why, no, Jack,” replied Mr. Sprague,
looking up from his paper, ‘‘I do not just
at present. What is thespecial need of a boy
just now? I thought you hadea good boy.”
“TY did; but last week he was offered
more wages by some one else and left me
in the lurch without any notice. It’s too
bad, too, just as the holidays are here and
sO many small parcels to deliver in a
hurry.”
“Well, Jack, if I hear of anyonel will
send him around to you.”
After some further desultory conversa-
tion, the young man took his leave. As
soon as he was fairly gone, Ethel went to
her father’s side and held a long conversa-
tion with that gentleman. It ended as
follows: :
‘Please, papa, let me have my own way
in this. I know there will no harm come
of it and it would be such fun, besides—”
The girl stopped suddenly and a tell-tale
flush passed over her face unnoticed by her
father.
“Besides what, Ethel?”
“*T didn’t say besides, did I, papa?”
“I thought you did. Well, my dear, if I
let you do this, you must take the blame of
any disaster that may happen to you upon
your own shoulders. I won’t be responsi-
ble.”
‘‘That’s a darling old dad. I knew you
would give in if I teased hard.”
The day following this conversation, a
boy stepped briskly into the dry goods store
of Jack Chesney and asked to see that gen-
tleman. He was sent to the office at the
rear, where Mr. Chesney sat talking with a
customer.
“Is this Mr. Chesney?” inquired the lad,
politely lifting his hat.
“Tam that person, my boy. What can
I do for you?”
‘Tt heard from Mr. Sprague that you
needed a boy in your store, and I would
like to get the place.”
‘‘Have you any recommendations?”
‘*T have none, sir, excepting a letter Mr.
Sprague gave me for you,” and the boy
drew forth a letter from his pocket which
he handed to Jack.
*SAh, very good. lLet’s see—he says you
are an honest, industrious lad, anxious for a
chance to get on in the world. This recom-
mend is sufficient, I am sure.”
After some further preliminaries, the lad
was engaged.
Promptly at the opening of the store the
next morning, the boy, Fred Seton, was at
his post. He won everyone’s heart from
the first. Prompt, cheerful, obliging,
always ready to do a favor for any one who
asked it and never allowing himself to
lose an opportunity for gaining the good-
will of his employer, it was not long ere
Jack Chesney began to take an unusual
interest in the lad’s welfare and often
called him into the office at night, after the
store was closed, to talk with him, seeming
to take great delight in the lad’s bright,
witty conversation in describing incidents
happening in the store during the day.
After a time, this chance sociality became
a regular thing, and the clerks in the store
laughingly remarked that Chesney would
as soon go without his supper as: hi
‘*spark” in the office with Fred. :
One evening, Jack was unusually confi-
dential with his errand boy. For the past
week he had been vainly endeavoring to
bring Ethel Sprague to a final answer, and
his disappointment weighed on his mind
heavily. He told Fred all about it, de-
seribing the young lady but not mentioning
her name.
‘Oh, I know who you mean. It’s that
young lady who comes in the store once in
a while and you talk with hera long time
over the ribbon counter, and I know her
name too. It’s Ethel Sprague,” and Fred
laughed merrily as he saw his guess had
been right.
“Pl tell you what, Mr. Chesney, I’d
make her say yes. If Lhad so much I’d bet
you fifty dollars she’d say yes if you were to
ask her to-morrow night.”
“I will give you a-hundred if she does,
Pll ask her, too, as you say to-morrow
| munity.”
_ “Hov
“Yes, Jack, I do, but upon one con-
dition.”
‘Yes, darling, a dozen if you like.”
‘And it is that you will sacredly promise
to forgive all my faults on our wedding-
day.”
“Asif you had any, but of course, I
promise.”
And after a little more billing, and cooing
Jack Chesney took himself off home, feel-
ing more like a king than a merchant.
“By George,” he said to himself, as he
walked slowly home, ‘‘I’ve got to give Fred
a hundred dollars to-morrow, but I little
thought so when I promised it. I would
willingly give him the store. How in the
name of common sense did the boy guess so
straight?”
The next morning Fred was called
to the office, where Jack wrote out a check
| for one hundred dollars and placed it in his
hands.
“She said yes, did she? Well, I knew she
would. And, now, can you pay me my
wages up to to-night? My aunt is dying
and has sent for me, so I have got to leave
you.”
It was with great reluctance that Jack let
him go, but the lad promised to be at the
wedding and Jack was compelled to be
satisfied.
Three months from that time, Jack
Chesney and Ethel Sprague were married.
In vain did Jack look for his former em-
ploye, Fred—he was not to be seen. It
was quite a disappointment to him, for he
liked the lad most sincerely, but the joy of
possessing his long-coveted treasure soon
drove all thoughts of Fred from his mind.
That evening, however, when the guests
had departed, and none was left but the
family of Mr. Sprague and one of Jack’s
sisters who was on most intimate terms
with Ethel, Jack remarked that he was dis-
appointed at notseeing Fred at the wedding.
“But he was there, Jack,” said Ethel, |
‘‘and he’s here in the house now. Shall I
bring him in?”
‘““‘Why, yes, of course, I wonder why the
boy kept so shy?”
Ethel left the room. In about ten min-
utes the door opened and Fred entered
alone.
After greeting him cordially, Jack asked
him how he happened to be acquainted with
Ethel, and where he had left her.
“I brought her with me, Jack. You
promised her to forgive all her faults on her
wedding day. Hereis oneof them, will
you forgive it?” andthe boy held out a
check, signed by Jack Chesney, for one
hundred dollars.
Jack looked athim in blank bewilder-
ment and could not utter a word.
‘‘And there’s just one more fault Your
wife wanted to be sure you loved her before
you married her. She gained your confi-
dence and found you true as gold.”
And Fred slipped off his black wig while
Ethel’s golden tresses feli down over the
shoulders of our whilom Fred’s coat.
Ethel and Fred were one and the same.

Working the Postal Card Racket.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
A certain collection agent heard of a fair
and fashionable dead-beat’s performances,
and, as he was drumming his heels in an 8x
12 office on Grand street in unprofitable
idleness at the time, he thought he could
afford to risk his time—he had nothing else
to risk—in experimenting upon her.
Accordingly he called upon one of her
creditors to whom she owed a bill of $400.
He asked the merchant to allow him to try
and collect the money. The merchant
warned him that it would be labor lost, but
the collector was willing to make an at-
tempt. He got a promise of fifty per cent.
of the entire bill if he could collect it.
Then he set to work. He wrote the lady
a polite note asking her to call at his office.
It was not answered. He wrote her a little
sharper note. No answer came. Then he
stated his claim in very plain letters and
figures on a postal card. The lady herself
came in great agitation to answer the card.
She protested against the use of postal
cards, which the hotel clerks, the bell boys
and everybody else could read.
**Pay the bill, madam,” said the collector,
‘and Vil wait upon you myself with the re-
ceipt.”
He got $200 on account at that session.
The balance came the next day.
The merchant was delighted, and paid
the fifty per cent. commission gladly.
- Then the collector went to every store of
any prominence in the city, and wherever
he found a bill against this lady he bought
it as cheaply as he could. Mostof them he
bought for a mere song.
He had some difficulty in turning all those
bad debts into cash, but he always fell back
on the postal card squeezer and it always
did its work quickly and effectually.
In all, 1am told that the profit on these
transactions amounted to more than $2,000.
I know it started him in business, and
although this all occurred since January,
1880, when he was penniless, to-day he has
a profitable collection agency and two brick
houses of his own.

Why Men Fail. _
From the Jewelers’ Circular. ;
An observer has been trying to ascet
the reason why men fail, and eomes to #
conclusion that seme fail through timi
or lack of nerve. They are unwilling
take the risks incident to life, and |
through fear in venturing on ordinary di
They lack pluck.< | ——3 27) agg
Others fail through imprudence, lack of
discretion, care or sound judgment. r
overestimate the future and build air eas-
tles, and venture beyond their depth, and
fail and fall. Others, again, fail through
lack of application and perseverance. They
begin with good resolves, but soon get tired
of that and want a change, thinking they
can do much better at something else. Thus
they fritter life away and succeed at noth-
ing. ee eee
Others waste time and money and fail for
want of economy. Many fail through ruin-
ous habits; tobacco, whisky and beer spoil
them for business, drive their best custom-
ers from them and scatter their prospects of
success.
Some fail for want of brains, education
and fitness for their calling; they lack a
knowledge of human nature and of the
motives that actuate men. They have not _
qualified themselves for their occupation by
practical education. =.
There is another quite numerous class _
who fail for the purpose of making monty
at the expense of their creditors, but these
should be classed with criminalsratherthan
with unfortunate business men. o

Rights of Seller and Buyer.
From Dry Goods Chronicle.
A seller has a right to fix whatever price
he pleases upon his property, and to hold it
until he can obtain his price. A buyer has
a right to decline to purchase a property or
article of merchandise until he can obtain
it at his price, or both may agree upon a
price without regard to others’ prices, says
an old authority upon this subject. But in —
the event of a sale without an agreement as
to price the rule obliges the seller not to
charge more for his commodities than the
market price. Cicero once propounded the
question» whether a corn merchant who had
arrived at Rhodes with a cargo of grain dur-
ing a season of great scarcity, and knowing
that other vessels laden with grain were
also on the way, was bound in conscience
to inform buyers of that fact? Upon this
question he quotes the opinion of Diogenes,
who thought such a concealment was justi-
fiable; and Antipater, with whom Cieero
agrees, who thought it was in bad faith.
Later writers dissent from this doctrine,
and Poltheir asks whether any one ever
thought of accusing Joseph of injustice in
taking advantage of the knowledge which
he had of the years of barrenness to cause
Pharaoh to buy the fifth part of the corn of
his subjects without informing them of
those years of sterility whieh were about to |
come.

Eggs by Weight.
Isn’t it strange that we buy and sell eggs
by number instead of by weight? Number
does not show their value; weight does.
Some eggs weigh twice as much as others.
What justice or business sagacity is there
in paying the same price for one as for the
other? Is not the farmer who sells a large
egg for the same price that his neighbor
sells a small one cheated? And is net the
buyer of the small one cheated? Justas
well might butter be sold by rolls, the small
roll bringing as much as the largeone. We
do not buy or sell butter by the number of
pieces, or cheese by number; nor should we
sell eggs by number.
If eggs were bought and sold by weight,
the value of certain breeds of fowls would
be changed. Now the breed which fur-
nishes the ‘greatest number of eggs is the
most profitabie; then it would be the breed
that furnished tne greatest weight. Some ©
breeds are remarkable for the smallness of
their eggs; such breeds would sufferin pop- —
ularity, while the fowls that lay large eggs —
would gain. This would work only justice,
however, to the fowls, as it would to their
owners and consumers. Clearly, eggs should
be sold by weight. Then why does not
every one insist upon it ? :

The desperate illness of General Sher-
Wan, which has now lasted for more than a
fortnight, continues at the writing of this
‘paragraph, with some present appearance
of a greater room for hope: It is a circum-
stance of our modern life, with its instant
eommunication, that whole nations, and
even the whole of the civilized world, may
wait by the bedside of the great. persons
whe are suffering from sickness and dis-
ease. In the case of the German Emperor
there may be truly said to be a world-wide
sympathy, and for our gallant American the
feeling is as wide as the Union which he so
much helped to preserve. His illness has
been so serious, and the means of medical
relief, not to say of cure, are so defied by
the peculiarities of the ailment that there
ill. be special rejoicing if he should accom-
ish a recovery.
General Boulanger has had his innings

demands revision as loudly as the Bom-
astes Furioso who made the motion, re-
fused to help. him to force the hand of the
Noquet ministry. He has decided to wait

TRADESMAN writes that the municipal au-
thorities of that place desire to convert
Geo. P. Gifford, Jr.’s property into a cattle
pound, but that George proposes to circum-
vent them by turning the property into a
frog farm.
A Ludington paper thus records an im-

Gifford, Jr., of Grand Rapids, was in this
town last week, looking after his property
interests. Mr. Gifford has already begun
important improvements and, we believe,
contemplates further investment.”

Springfield. Mr.. Cones’ many friends
among the trade wilh be pleased to learn of

The Various Kinds of Vinegar.
There are good vinegars in the market.
There are also those which are indifferent,
bad and very bad.
common. ‘The best and most wholesome
These
retain suggestions of the apples and grapes
from which they originally came. If care-
fully kept they remain palatable for an in-
definite period; if carelessly, they, like
every good food substance, are apt to be-
come mouldy and unwholesome. From a
gastronomic stand-point, the best vinegar is
that which is made from red wine; next to
it are those made from white wine, elder
and perry. The first is invaluable in salad
dressing, on account of its beautiful color;
the second is most useful in those prepara-
tions where no color at all is desired; the
third is available for all general use, and
the last comes to the front whenever the
delicious jargonelle flavor is conducive to
the culinary success. Below this first class
are the vinegars made from ale, beer and
whisky. These are coarse, heavy, and
often offensive. They never, except in the
ease of whisky, are made purposely, but
represent the desire of some brewer or dis-
tiller to utilize goods which have been
ruined by careless treatment, and which
would otherwise prove a total loss. The
ale that sours in the barrels and hogsheads,
the beer that begins to putrify in the vaults,
and the wretched whisky which is so full of
fusel oils that no dealer, not even the lowest,
will purchase it at any price, are the raw
materials from which this class of vinegars
is made. They cannot be said to be in-
jurious, but they are simply mere apologies
for the real article. A malt vinegar is made
from mashed malt without distillation, but
by simply allowing the sugar fermentation
to go to an acetic fermentation. Below the
grade of whisky vinegar are the vinegars
made inthe laboratory by chemical pro-
cesses, and especially by the destructive
distillation of wood. Unless skillfully re-
fined and purified they contain creosote,
wood tar, and other products of the same
class, all of which are injurious, many
of which are poisonous and some
of which are fatal to the user. They have
one advantage, and only one, they are
cheap.

GRAND RApIps, June 1, 1888.

The latter are the most

First, that I sho ea NU
field of practical, perhaps business life, who
are eager for the first step and ready to
welcome the first prophet and follow his
teaching; recognizing the great obligation
and responsibility for the first time upon
me, I hesitated. Second, from my youth
up somehow I have been impressed with
the idea, owing perhaps to my education, or
lack of it, that high schools and colleges
held only young men and women in prepar-
ation for a professional, literary, scientific,
or an easy, unaccustomed-to-hard-knocks,
kind of life, and that the boys and girls
of aless favored condition were found on
the outskirts, in shops, offices, or base-
ments, struggling against many an obstacle,
but slowly developing into business men or
women, having no teacher but the best of
all teachers, experience. With this class of
boys and girls I have had most to do.
Now, too little learning places a young
man or woman in an unenviable position.
“Much learning doth make thee mad,” said
Festus. So too much of the academic and
collegiate makes, not madmen, but machine
men, incapable of making a success until
they have forgotten much.
Now, when this invitation came to me to
say a few words from a business stand-point,
I at once recognized, not only a fitting oc-
casion for the statement of a few plain
truths, but the growing sentiment, in school
and out, for practical knowledge, for a use-
ful, rather than a beautiful, education; for
an educatiyn to fit men and women for ac-
tion in the departments of life which young
men and young women are supposed to
enter; for an education for the man or
woman, rather than aman or woman for
the education. We recognize in_ this a
breaking up of the old lines of educational
theory. We find that a good education is
not incompatible with our best business in-
terests; neither do we find that a literary,
scientific, agricultural, mechanical or bus-
iness life suffers from a good degree of that
class of education sometimes called worldly
(or better, world-wide) business education.
It is this latter that many of you are now
interested in.
We are all in-a measure theorists. School
or young life, no more than congressional
or many another, is somewhat theoretical.
Theories for reducing the surplus in the
treasury are most vehemently advocated
that in the light of business sense, and
upon experiment, would prove to the world
that a practical business mind, a good finan-
cier only, was able to direct the affairs of
the nation aright. Our commercial pros-
perity is due to a wise application of good
business rules, the result of experience, and
men of such education are the ones who are
managing local or state affairs to-day; such
we want.
We have come to ask and to weigh every
proposed scheme calculated for the better-
ment of our condition in the scales of bus-
iness—is it wise? is it practical? is it
right ? is it business ?
A good business man or woman to-day
outranks a theoretical crank on any sub-
ject you can name, and a man of keen per-
ceptions, intelligent, observing, systematic,
cosmopolitan in manner, energetic and ster-
ling in character, self-made, commands the
esteem of all men, whether in local caucus
or legislative halls. The term ‘‘business
man” should and is becoming a synonym
for square dealing, honor, justice and high
morals. He is not a good business man
who drives sharp bargains, opposes his
clients, captures bank notes and bonds, and
skips to Canada. Good business is not to
corner the wheat market and compel any
man to buy dear bread. Good business is
not to capture and monopolize the product
fof our mines or soil and enrich a few at the
fexpense of the masses. These men are
sometimes called-smart men, but the world
is too far advanced in morals to attach any
merit to that kindof business. I might
say right here that character is the basis
for all business men, fot these~ are days
when young men and women are subject to
strong temptations. .
A gentleman with whom I was talking
the other day regarding a firm in Grand
Rapids, said, ‘‘Their business is as solid as
arock.” They are men of principle and
adhere to it, and such business houses are
seeking men and women of sterling worth,
first, last, and all the time. ‘‘Charity cov-
ereth a multitude of sins;” so trustworthi-
ness covers many little incapabilities, little
errors of head and hand; so long as an em-
ployer can say, ‘I can trust that man or
woman,” so long a place is waiting his or
her wishes.
You of the graduating class are about to
enter upon a new life; a life of business.
Plans and theories you have; but your good
professor is not the gentleman I have taken
him to be, to allow, neither will your bus-
iness talent permit, you to dwell long upon
speculation as to what you shall do in this
life and how you willdoit. You will allow
not one hour to pass without putting your
hand or brain to some kind of labor. You
young men and women have walked thus
far in life together, each. pursuing the
same object. Each has won the prize—an
education. Each has accumulated a cap-
ital which is now awaiting investment. The
young man is to invest his capital in some
business that it may continually grow and
yield larger dividends. Society demands it;
his growing wants demand it; his love for
position and honor urges him on to con-
stantly new and broader fields; continually
mingling with business men, he is daily
and hourly accumulating strength and cap-
ital; such demands are constantly upon
him. The career of young women too often
ends where the young man only enters his.
But her field is broadening every day, and
now a business education for a woman is
almost in equal demand. Some of you are
anticipating a business of some kind. Too
many, for want of a ‘‘sphere,” retrograde
from the day of graduating, as many men
do, and many more would under the same
conditions. ‘There is no excuse for such.
There was never a time when a well-dis-
ciplined, intelligent, accomplished woman

a woman moulds and shapes the financial
course of men whose business would end in
ruin, enly for them. Business men have
the greatest respect for a young woman or
a young man who works, and the person
who shrinks from it will neither enioy or
make a success of life. When idleness
takes possession of a man or woman, fail-
ure commences. Go to work, that’s bus-
iness, and the world will see that you

How to Handle Pickles in the Summer.
A leading pickle house issues the follow-
ing circular to the trade:
Every dealer will acknowledge the im-
portance of having his goods in a perfectly
fresh condition, as his profits depend di-
rectly on their appearance and condition.
A few hints as to the proper and most prof-
itable manner of handling tiiem will not
come amiss.
Keep your pickles in your cellar or some
equally cool place, if possible. You will
probably say, in reply, ‘‘I cannot run to the
cellar every time a customer wants a dozen
of pickles.” .. We would suggest as a rem-
edy that you keep a jaror stone crock of
them on your counter, always taking care
to keep the pickles well covered with vin-
egar.
Keep the barrel well covered to exclude
insects, air, etc., and place a coarse cloth on
the pickles, inside of the barrel, and rinse
it with fresh water occasionally. Always
keep the pickles well covered with vinegar,
never leaving them dry or exposed to the
air, even for a short time.
Preserves, jellies and fruit butters should
also be kept in a cool place, never where the
sun or hot air will strike them, thereby pre-
serving both their fresh appearance and in-
suring the necessary moisture to retain their
proper consistency. If : these precautions

Association Notes.
Now is the time for the local associations to
begin thinking about a summer holiday. The
picnic was a source of great good to those as-
sociations which indulged in it last season.
Hudson Gazette: President John Newell, of
the Lake Shore Railroad, writes the Secretary
of the Business Men’s Association that ‘the
proposed new station at Hudson will be con
structed this season. Plans are being pre-
pared, and the work will be begun as soon as
they are finished and the contracts can be
made.”’
Owosso Times: The Business Men’s Associa-
tion, at its meeting on Thursday evening of
last week, elected the following officers : Pres-
ident, H. W. Parker; Vice-President, E. L.
Brewer; Secretary, S. Lamfrom; Treasurer,
Ira G. Curry; Executiye Committee, Presi
dent, Secretary, D. Burhans and C. E. Shat-
tuck.
Manistee Democrat: The Business Men’s As-
sociation met Friday evening and appointed
Messrs. A. O. Wheeler, C.D. Gardner and W.
H. Willard a committee to get up a Fourth of
July celebration. The Committee has been
doing good work and has quite a large sum al-
ready subscribed for the purpose. An inter-
esting programme of horse races, base _ ball,
foot races, fire works and other things will be
prepared. A special meeting of the Associa-
tion will be held Friday night to appoint fur-
ther committees. Let every one attend and
help on the good work.
Plainweil Independent : Plainwell has an op-
portunity of securing a small manufacturing
enterprise simply by placing a small amount
of money in the business. The Business Men’s
Association will try to interest our people in
the project, and it is suggested a combination
with the Ives factory would be feasible. Itis
growing apparent to nearly all of our people
that manufacturing is a necessity to the fut-
ure growth of the town; infact, employment
must be furnished to the pcople now here or
else they will be forced to seek it elsewhere.
Some of our progressive business men ex-
press their willingness to give a bonus of $1
each per hand employed to any concern that
will start up here. If there are 100 men in
Plainwell likeminded, a factory employing
twenty-five hands would get a bonusof $2,500;
and an institution using 100 men would receive
$10,000 bonus.

Grand Rapids Mercantile Association.
At the regular semi-monthly meeting of the
Grand Rapids Mercantile Association, held on
June 5, F.L. Blake & Son, grocers on South
Division street, and Fred A. Rice, grocer on
Wealthy avenue, were elected to membership
in the Association.
J. Geo. Lehman, chairman of the Entertain-
ment Committee, reported in favor of holding
the second annual picnic on Thursday, June
14. Owing to the fact that the date named
conflicted with the pay-day of the G. R.
& I. Railroad, B. S. Harris moved that the pic-
nic be held on Monday, June 18, which was
adopted.
The Committee outlined the programme it
was proposed to observe on the occasion of
the picnic, which was aecepted and adopted.
It was resolved to close all the stores at noon
the day of the picnic, and the Committee was
voted $100 to meet the necessary expenses at-
tending the en ertainment. ;
A considerable discussion followed on the
desirability of maintaining the agreement not
to return berry packages to the growers, the
sentiment seeming to indicate that the agree-
ment would be rigidly lived up to unless there
should be a package famine late in the season.
The Secretary was instructed to write all the
package manufacturers in the fruit belt, ask-
ing them to arrange to keep on hand an extra
large supply.
Association on the subject, when the meeting
adjourned.

Good Report from the Nashville Asso-
ciation.
NASHVILLE, June 5, 1888.4
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
ao Srr—I take pleasure in reporting the
B. M. A. of Nashville in a fine condition. We
hear it well spoken of by outsiders, who are
beginning to understand thatit is an Associa-
tion designed not only to benefit its members
but the community at large.
The Williams Fruit Evaporator Co. has re-
cently shipped four car loads of evaporators
to California and has prospects of good bus-
iness in Michigan this season, by reason of a
short crop of apples in New York State. This
corporation is composed of gentlemen of push
and they are meeting with merited success.
Respectfully, W.S. POWERS.

The Rates on Nails.
As a majority of our readers are probably
aware, the nail manufacturers west of the
Alleghanies adopted a new card rate to
take effect June 1st, the base of which
was 20d to 60d instead of 10d to 60d, the
base of the old card. A communication

gone obsequious, and my wife oughtn’t

‘more than the men. My wife says there

and simply say, ‘‘My dear. you have dropped
ur handkerchief.” Just so—Anno Domi-

‘hty polite, and was very fond of escort-

auy a good, solid young man boycotted by
e girls, because he lacked manners.
‘But I was ruminating about the drum-
ers. One of them got off the train with
me the other morning, about an hour before
day, and we looked around for a light or a
orter, or some place to ‘go to, and finally
‘settled down in the piazza of a humble
1otel, where three dogs were sleeping; but
they rapped the floor with their friendly
tails, and so we sat down and waited for
daylight. It was a good time to talk sense,
nd we talked it until the roosters crowed
and continued it until the sun rose, and
then the family got up, and to our surprise
gave usa cordial welcome and a good, old-
fashioned breakfast. A good breakfast is

drummers asked me where I was going to

_ F. W. Inbusch, the Milwaukee wholesale
grocer, who is endeavoring to secure some
sort of an agreement among jobbers that
enable them to maintain a reasonable
‘profit on sugar, writes Tue TRADESMAN
ta convention of those interested will
held at the Grand Central Hotel, New
‘ork, on June 23. The aimof the con-
ion is thus set forth:
HEREAS, It is a common practice on
art of both wholesale and retail gro-
to sell sugar, not only without profit,
low the average costof doing busi-
rhich loss must necessarily be made
by higher prices on other geods, and
MEREAS, This practice is a detriment
both dealers and consumers, and is
to all correct and straightforward
$s principles; therefore .
esolved, That the wholesale grocers of
States, while opposed to combi-
ich exact excessive profits from
iblic, will welcome any plan which
ble both wholesale and retail
o sell sugar at a margin which will | p

is now operative to a

nee:
Bs ;
las he any right to sell alcohol or
spirits of any kind simply by paying the $25
special tax, unless he is a ‘registered phar-
macist?
3. In so doing is he not liable to pros-
ecution?
4. In said case, if said party wants to
sell, handle, or offer for sale any spirits of
any kind, should he not have to pay the
$500 tax the same as any saloonist?
Yours truly,

tered pharmacist has any right to sell drugs
unless he has in his employ, and actually
in charge of his store, a registered pharma-
cist.
2. He is nota druggist and cannot as-
sume to sell liquor as a druggist without
conforming to the Pharmacy law.
. 8. Yes, he renders himself liable to a
fine of not more than $200 or imprisonment
in the county jail not less than ten or more
than ninety days, or both such fine and im-
prisonment.
4, Yes, he should pay the regular tax
required of a saloon keeper.

you favor and accommodate the most is
the one from whom you will receive more
curses than coppers, when you ask for
your own, and he will pass you by and
declare he never knew you.

That’s What’s the Matter.
A plainly dressed man who had intro-
duced himself as John Smith walked into
a doctor’s office, and having explained his
symptoms, asked the doctor how long it
would take to cure him. The doctor, who
had treated the visitor with every possible
courtesy, replied: ‘‘You will require sev-
eral years’ careful treatment under my per-
sonal supervision before you are perfectly
well; but I think, Mr. Smith, you will be
able to resume your labors in the bank in
about two months.” ‘Doctor, you are fool-
ing yourself. I am notSmith, the banker,
but Smith, the street car driver.” ‘‘Is that
so? Well, my good fellow, I don’t see
what you came to see me for. ‘There’s
nothing the matter with you, except that
you are not a banker.”

Friend—Was your uncle’s will satisfactory
to you, Brown?
Brown—Perfectly so, ’ma lucky dog! He
left his entire fortune to an insane asylum.
Friend—You mean that you are an un-

Brown—No, I don’t; the other relations

and the temperature was at 60 degrees, and
had been all night, it did not seem at all
reasonable, but to my great surprise I finally
found such to be the case. .
Finding a full fountain of soda charged up
to 200 pounds, I looked farther and located
the obstruction between the coolers and the
draft. Pushing away the ice, I turned on a
little hot water and in a moment it was all
right. I cannot account for it only on the
supposition that having been out doors for
several hours the ice had acquired a very
low temperature. Upon being broken up
and packed in the fountain uponice so
much warmer it had parted with its Tatent
heat so suddenly as to produce a freezing
mixture around the pipes.
Having occasion recently to visit an old
leech jarin my store that had been over-
looked, and that when last examined held
three leeches, a small bunch of ‘‘excelsior”
and some water, I was surprised to find
about a dozen young leeches additional.
I have never known them to breed in cap-
tivity before. Our trouble in this line is
rather with death than birth.
(I have frequently noticed during the win-
ter months that in transferring. fine powder,
particularly licorice and senna, especially
when it had been in transit over night,
marked electric phenomena were evolved,
the powder forming a corolla around the
mouth of the bottle, etc.
One day during the winter, being in a
hurry and alone in the store, I was
somewhat vexed to find that I could not
weigh some Salicylic acid on my prescrip-
tion scales, as soon as it touched the pan it
fiying off in every direction onto the desk.
After several failures I had to use another
pair of scales elsewhere. It was, undoubt-
edly, due to negative electricity. One of the
show cases with an oval front in the store
will, upon being smartly rubbed with a
chamois by one man, but not so much by
others, develop a large amount of electrici-
ty, so much so as to be plainly felt by the
hand when placed inside. The store cat
has taken part in the fun but has now
“caught on” and avoids the top of the show
ease. Being insulated, a brisk rubbing
upon the back with one’s hand evolves a
nice spark by applying the knuckle to the
cat’s nose. By grasping the cat’s legs in
one hand while insulated and rubbing with
the other a smart shock is imparted to the
rubber and the rubbed, the latter vigorously
protesting.
Anyone desiring an article of sale for
producing a smooth skin during cold
weather will find it in an emtlsion of oil of
sweet almonds, using powdered gum traga-
canth as the emulsifier and either rose or
orange flower water to produce the desired
consistency. It is best applied at night
before retiring, having previously washed
the skin with warm water and soap. It
has no superior as an emollient.—J. W. Col-
cord.

Illegibility of Prescriptions.
The pharmacist is often puzzled by the
chirography of the physician, and, though
much practice makes him expert in this
difficult art, it not infrequently happens
that one or more ingredients of a prescrip-
tion are absolutely illegible even to the
skilled sense of the pharmacist. What is
the dispenser’s duty in such a case?
To this query the Chemist and Druggist
replies: 3
‘‘He has certainly a perfect right, legally,
to refuse to compound a prescription which
he cannot read, but it is believed that in the
case of prescriptions which have previously
been dispensed he is justified in doing his
best. ‘The best, however, may be a serious
matter tothe patient if it happens to be
contrary to the intentions of the prescriber.
It isfar better for the dispenser that he
should notrisk his own reputation or the
comfort of his eustomer by undertaking a
task respecting which he is uncertain.
When the prescriber’s carelessness leads to
an error on the part of the dispenser, there
responsibility. We refer more particularly
to errors regarding ingredients rather than
doses. If a prescriber intending to write
‘tinct. opii camph.’ writes only ‘tinct.
opii,’ and the dispenser compounds the pre-
seription as written, both are evidently
responsible, the -prescriber in the greater
degree, for anything serious which may
happen. It is part of the duty of the chem-
ist and druggist ‘to detect unusual doses,’
and to assure himself of the safety of the
patient before he dispenses them.”
The car@lessness of physicians in writing
prescriptions has not infrequently been
attended with fatal results. The statement
made by our contemporary that when mis-
takes occur the responsibility should be
shared by prescriber and dispenser is a mis-
leading one. In the case of toxic drugs the
pharmacist is never justified in dispensing a
dangerous dose unless the prescription is
specially endorsed to that effect or the
physician be communicated with.
The real responsibility rests with the
physician, who should write with less haste
and greater care. Some excellent rules are
given in the article we have quoted and can
not be too strongly impressed upon medical
students in their studies and upon physi-
cians. They are as follows:
1. Write distinctly.
3. Do not abbreviate the words so as to
make them unintelligible to the dispenser
or in any way to cause errors.
3. Be very particular in writing the char-
acters representing the quantities of the in-
gredients.
4. Revise the prescription on every occa-
sion before parting with it.
5. The physician should always write
the dose or explicit directions, so that the
pharmacist can judge of the effect, not
‘tuse as directed” label.

An exchange says: ‘‘A bustle hanging in
a shop window is an uglier looking thing
-than an open barrel of sauerkraut in a gro-
cery ‘store. Hang it on a woman, cover it
with twenty yards of goods, and a man will
erane his neck around a lamp-post by the
hour to look at it. Position in the world is
everything.”

GENTLEMEN—I duly received the case of
your ‘“‘Best’”” Tonic and have since had a great
many in this institution. I must say that the
beneficial effects on weak and debilitated
patients have been most satisfactory, espec-
ially to those in a stage of recovery after se-
vere sickness.
I write this thinking you might like to have
my opinion on its merits. I certainly shall
prescribe it in future, where the: system re-
quires building up. either from constitutional
weakness or otherwise.

DEAR Strs—I have given your ‘“‘Malt Tonic”
a trial in several cases of Enfeebled Digestion
and General Debility, especiaily in the aged,
where the whole system seems completely
peoseenisd. with very satisfactory results. I
ave used many of the so-called “Malt Ex-
tracts,”’ but believe your preparation to be
superior. In the aged where the digestive
functions are exhausted, and there is a loss of
the nerve vital force, I found its action to be
rapid and permanent.
