Every one at Falaise knows the story of the mother of William the Conqueror by heart.. They trouble themselves very little about the results of modern investigation in regard to the real facts in the case, these good folk of Falaise. They see no reason for doubting any part of the story they have always known. They will show you with pride the beautiful old Church of Saint Ger- vais, and its not distant neighbor in the Grande Place, La Sainte Trinite; but they will bid you look longest at the great bronze statute of the Conqueror in the center of the Grand Place. And it is well worth looking at. The Norman hero is mounted ona spirited horse, represented as plunging im- petuously forward, and the king, in suit of mail, and with visor up and grasping a lifted lance and pennon in his hand, is turning, as if to beckon on an army to victory. “It is most}wonderful,” the folk of Fal- aise will say to you, as you and they gaze at the warrior figure of whose history they are so proud. But they have more to show you than this; for then they will take you on up the hill and through the arched gateway of the castle. On the ramparts is a quiet grassy walk, well shaded by trees; and there is a school up here above the town, and an old twelfth-century chapel. But you have not been brought to look at these. You go, in- stead, into the castle-keep, and there you will be shown a double-arched window with a stone pillar in the center, and looking out of this you will gaze intoa deep, narrow valley very far below, through which winds the River Ante, its surface visible only here and there among the trees. On the other side frowns a steep range of hills, the steepest of all being known as Mont Mirat. “From this window,” says your compan- ion, “Count Robert first saw Arlette;’’ and then you are told how the youth of eighteen, looking down into the valley of the Ante, saw the women andé girls washing clothes in the stream, just as you see them doing now, eight centuries later, and among them saw the beautiful Ariette, the tanner’s daughter, and seeing, fell in love. You look down at the women below. You can just catch the sound of their voices, but you cannot dis- tinguish one from the other. If the story you have heard is true, love, in Robert’s case at least, was not blind, but most extraordi- narily sharp-sighted. Be that as it may, he afterward made her Duchess of Normandy, and you are shown a little cell in the castle where their son, the Conqueror, was born, unless the historians are right who say that William was not born in this castle at all. Afterward you will be taken to the top of Talbot’s tower, a hundred feet higher, from which a most magnificent view can be had; but since this tower, built by the English King Henry the Fifth, can in no way be as- sociated with William, it has but little in- terest for your Falaise companion. Another day you go to the +washing-place beside the Ante, and watch the women and girls chattering and laughing at their work, and you think of the young Robert catching sight of his beautiful Arlette in just such another group of workers eight centuries be- fore. Here the river runs through a sluice- way, made for the use of the washers, and here are great square tanks heaped high with soaking garments, the whole protected from the weather by sheds. Each one pays three sous a day for the privilege of washing here, but must furnish her own soap and carrosse for beating the clothes, so one of the white-capped women will perhaps in- form you. Beyond are open-air tanks, where those who have no three sous to spare may wash for nothing. You wonder if there is an Arlette among any of these women. They are not very beautiful, you think. But as you stand atthe arched entrance of the washing-place you do not see all the women, and, even if you could, you would not know which was named Arlette, if there were one of that name there. Yet there is an Arlette there, and if you had been told of it, I think it would not have been difficult to discover her. Arlette must be beautifui to bear out her right to the name, youimagine; and you, within the archway, are not much impressed with the faces you see. But this modern Arlette is among the poorer women beside the Ante, and too far off for you to see her. There has always been an Arlette among the women at the river, for itis a favorite name at Falaise, and sometimes there have been several; but at present there is but one— ' Arlette Lechasseur, the daughter of a shoe- maker in the Faubourg St. Laurent. Well she knows the story of Arlette, the tanner’s daughter, and very proud she is of her name. We have only tradition to assure us that the first Arlette was beautiful, but it needs no second glance to convince us that Arlette Lechasseur is so. If only there wasanother Count Robert to see. But she has too much sense to expect acount or any other noble personage tocome and make love to her there beside the Ante, even if she is pretty. “Where is thy Count Robert, Arlette?” the other women sometimes say to her at the tanks, but her only response is a good-natur- ed laugh. Yet she has dreams of her own, neyerthe- less. Not exalted ones, to be sure, but they sweeten existence to her. Last year, at the fair in the Faubourg of Guibray, she met some one that, perhaps— Alas, poor Ar- lette never gets beyond the “‘perhaps” in her thoughts! The thrifty Norman does not often marry a girl who can bring him noth- ing, and the Lechasseurs are very poor. So Arlette’s musings do not stray beyond a- “perhaps,” as I said before; but people learn to be content witha very little, and it is pleasant to have one’s dreams. From her washing-place she looks up at the great cliff on which the castle stands. Except for a few patches of furze and heath- er, the gray rock is almost bare, and which is cliff and which is castle wallis hard to tell, for the wall is at the edge of the cliff, and seems as if it might bea part of it, so worn and gray is its surface. And, high above all, the Talbot tower appears almost to touch the sky. Arlette has often been to the very top, but she does not like looking down into the valley so well as gazing up at the castle-crowned cliff. From where she is plying her carrosse she can see Count Rob- ert’s window and the vine sprays hanging down from the opening. Then she thinks of the tanner’s daughter and Count Robert. Now and then she ean see some one leaning from the window and looking down into the valley, as that handsome stripling may have leaned and looked eight centuries - before. But she does not imagine that any one can distinguish her from the other women be- side the Ante. She knows very well that the distance is too great for that now. Per- haps eyesight was better in Count Robert’s time she thinks. But the day comes when some one looking down from Count Robert’s window does see her. It is a young Ameri- can, finishing a year of travel in Europe by a walking tour through Normandy, burdened only by knapsack and field-glass. Some one at Caen has told him that he must surely visit Falaise, and so he has come to the castle, and now, looking through his glass, at one object after another, his gaze has at last rested on Arlette at her washing-tank beside the Ante. The glass is a powerful one, so that he can see her very distinctly as she beats the soaped linen with her carrosse, and afterwards rinses the garments in the clear running water; and he watches her a long time. At last, however, he puts down his glass, and, after giving his guide a fee, he comes down from the castle alone. But it isno youth of eighteen who sees this modern Arlette, but a man at least eight years older, who has looked upon many beautiful faces before this. Why should this one attract him especially? But it does interest him, and he means to see more of it, as Count Robert likewise resolved long before. But the American is quite as hand- some as any Medievai count can possibly have been, though, as his figure is rather under the middle size, Count Robert was probably the taller of the two, on the gener- ally accepted principle that medieval heroes were men of commanding height. But the clear olive complexion, dark hair and eyes and delicate mustache, sweeping upward at the ends in long curves, Count Robert prob- ably did not boast. More than one woman had looked at this young American with ad- miring eyes, and he knew very well that he was handsome—perhaps had at one time been a little vain of the fact—but now, at twenty-six, he merely accepts it asa piece of good fortune. Any one looking at the firm curves of the mouth would see evidences of abundant strength of purpose. “Whether it would be exercised with any higher aims than obtaining his own way was the ques- tion. He had alwayshad it without much trouble, and he was not more selfish than most men. As he goes down the hill his mind is full of this pretty face he has just seen. And why not? He is taking life easily this sum- mer. Whenhe returns to America his work awaits him, into which he means to plunge in sober earnest; but at present he is enjoying life, and has plenty of room for vagrant fancies in his mind. But it is a long distance down the hill tothe washing-sheds beside the Ante, and he is not familiar enough with the town to find the nearest way; so that, by the time he reaches the arched entrance, many of the women have gone, and among them Arlette. Those who remain glance shyly at him, but he sees only that Arlette is not there, and he goes to his rooms at the Hotel de Normandie vexed at the disappointment. He meant to have gone back to Caen the next day, but now he de- cides to remain in Falaise another day in the hope of getting a nearer view of the pretty face he has seen from the castle window. And chance is favorable to him that very day, for, strolling just at sunset through the Fauboug St. Laurent, he sees Arlette stand- ing at her father’s door. The young fellow, mentally noting the nature of her father’s business, for Guy Lechasseur can be seen through the entrance busy at his work, takes his resolution at once, and, approaching the doorway, lifts his hat courteously to Ar- lette. ‘He is very handsome,” thinks Arlette. “There is no one like him in Falaise.” “Good evening, my pretty one,” says the stranger, ‘Can I see M. Lechasseur, the cor- donner?” Hearing the sound of his name, old Guy comes forward, and the American explains po that he would like to be measured for a pair of easy walking-shoes. “They must be very easy and comfort- able,” he says, “for I walk a great deal.” “But yes, Mensieur,” responds the father of Arlette, “I know what you would have. Come in, andit shall be done at once. Arlette, my child, thou wilt have the good- ness to measure Monsieur’s foot immediate- ] 29 rhe honest shoemaker is a little excited at this sudden order from a foreigner, and speaks hurriedly. “Arlette, my daughter, is more precise than I can be with the measurements,” he explains to his visitor. “Her eyes aremuch younger than mine, thou must know.” The other smiles at this. He is very well suited with this arrangement, and so Arlette, blushing a little—for it isa new experience for her to have dark eyes benton her so earnestly as now—does as her father desires. “Remember, I am very particular,” says the young man when she had nearly com- pleted her task. “I should not like to be badly fitted. Willit not be best to repeat the measure so as to be sure?” “But yes, Monsieur,” responds Guy, “it is best to be sure.” It is very pleasant, this unlooked-for little incident, and the young man determines to enjoy it. Arlette, kneeling before him the better to do what she is about, ventures one shy glance athis face, but finding him look- ing tenderly at her, bends down her head. Yet on no pretext can he prolong the situa- tion further, but after Arlette is through he remains to talk with the girl and her father. “Falaise is very beautiful,”. he says to Arlette, after Guy has returned to his work, and the girl, at her father’s request, goes with him a few steps to point out a nearer way tothe Hotel de Normandie than the route by which he came. “Does Monsieur really think so?” is her response. “I am very glad, for Monsieur must know that I love Falaise.”’ “Yes, it is very beautiful,” he repeats; “but 1 know what is much more beautiful still,” he adds; and there is no mistaking his meaning, even if the little pressure he gives her hand had been omitted. “Monsieur must not say such things,” she says slowly after a pause. “But I shall say such things, because they are true, my pretty one. Look at me, Ar- lette.” They are in a narrow lane by this time, where there is no one but themselves. “Took at me, Arlette,” he says again. She does look at him with her sweet, won- dering face. In the gathering twilight he can yet see the the soft curves of her lips and cheeks. He cannot help it that he puts his arm about her; and it is all so new, so strange to her, that she does not resist him. “Does Arlette know that she is very beau- tiful2”’ he says gently, and then he draws her closer to him. “J must go back now,” she says simply, and so he releases her. ‘‘Monsieur will find the way now, doubtless, if he will remember to take the next turn to the right,’ she con- tinues when he has taken away his arm. “Yes,” he replies, “‘it will be very easy, and now this for showing me the way,” and he puts a silver coin in her hand, and then, moved by a sudden impulse, kisses her once, twice, and turns away. She is not angry with him when she is once more alone. Something new and sweet has come into her life, and it has all been so sudden that she is bewildered for a little. But she does not try to analyze her feelings. She knows only that this foreigner, who looks so handsome and speaks so tenderly, has told her that she is beautiful, and has kissed her. And that is quite’ enough for Arlette now. She wonders, as she goes homeward, if Count Robert could have look- ed like this stranger. She thinks of him all that night, and on the morrow, as she stands at her washing-tank beside the Ante, she is thinking of him still. Foolish little Arlette! but what should one do when one is but eighteen, and has been kissed by the hand- somest man one has ever seen? Surely one need not be very angry or try to forget. The morning is half gone when she sees him entering the archway to the washing- sheds, but he does not see her. She hears his voice in good-humored passing chat with the women there. What if he should not see her! At last he comes out from the sheds toward the free tanks. Surely he must see her now. Buthe stops for a word with Babette and Susette, with Dorothee and with Gertrude before he comes to_ her. “Ah, my pretty one,” he says carelessly, as if this were the first time he has seen her; but a look in his face tells her that he remembers, and she understands now why he spoke to all the women on the way. He has a sketch-book with him, and now, as he leans against a post near her, he takes a pencil and sketches rapidly. Now and then he says a word to her, and the women near by look at him in the pauses of their work with shy, admiring glances. At last he holds up a paper. “Would you like to see, my good friends?” he says tothe women; and then Babette, Susette, Dorothee and Gertrude crowd about him and examine his drawing with voluble exclamations of delight. “There thou art, Dorothee, to the life,” says one. - “And iher$ is ette,”’ says another; “and Monsieur has drawn me, too,” she adds in great glee. “Would you like toshow this to your friends under the shed?” suggests the artist; and this appearing to be exactly what they do wish, off go the four girls, not ob- serving that Arlette does not accompany them, “See here, Arlette,” says the American when they are alone. He holds up another paper on which he has sketched Arlette just as she looked when he saw her at her tath- er’s door. “Am I like that?” she says timidly, and blushing a little. “Only a thousand times prettier,” he says impulsively; and then, while no one _ is ob- serving them, he showers a dozen kisses on her face and neck. And what should Arlette do? Soon the women come back with the draw- ing. “They say,” says Dorothee, nodding her head in the direction of the sheds, “that Monsieur must make a picture of them.” “Very well,” says the young man; and he goes back to the sheds. He is gone some time, but at last Arlette hears murmurs of delight from the sheds, and she knows that the drawing is finished. Soon afterward he returns. “Bon jour,” he says to Susette and the others. ‘Bon jour ma petite,’ he says to Arlette in a low tone, as he takes up his cane, which had been left on the ground be- side her. ‘Arlette will see me again;” and then he goes on his way beside the Ante. “Bon jour, Monsieur,” scream the women after him, when he is almost out of sight; and at this he turns and waves his hat. They will talk about the handsome foreigner beside the Ante for many a long day. By mid-afternoon Arlette goes home, and soon afterward an errand for her father takes her away from the house for an hour. ‘Monsieur has been here” says Guy when she returns, “‘and he would have liked to say adieu to thee, for he was going away.” “Going away?” repeats Arlette faintly. “But yes, my daughter. There was news from America that caused him to go at once, he said tome. And he could not wait for the shoes, but paid me the money and told me to give them tosame one who needed them. I wish him a good journey, for he has done well by me, and not every one would think to remember that he owed an old shoemaker like thy father, Arlette. América is over the sea, they tell me, and he cannot yet be half-way to Caen,” con- cludes the old man, drawing out his waxed thread slowly. Ts it really true that she shall see him no more? Thisis the one thought that fills Arlette’s mind. Itis this that sends her supperless to bed. It is this that causes her to rise in the morning with eyes that are red with weeping, and have not been closed in sleep the night through. Foolish little Ar- lette, to weep for one who will soon forget her! She does not go to her work that day, but a day later sees her back with the others, a little pale, but that is all the difference. The summer goes and the autumn comes, and the red leaves float along the winding Ante. The women are still talking of the foreigner who came and sketched them all so wonderfully one day. The summer goes and the autumn comes, and the young American is back in his law office deep in his work and his future plans. He has not thought of Arlette since he re- turned. His sketch-book lies on an upper shelf, where he tossed it when first unpack- ing, and he has not thought to look at it since. A privileged friend comes into his office one morning, and, turning over one thing after another, lights upon the sketch- book, and taking it down, begins to examine its contents. “By Jove!” he exclaims, ‘‘that is a lovely face. Where did you come across so much beanty, old fellow?” It is Arlette’s picture that the visitor is gazing at. The other turns to see what his friend has, and suddenly there flashes over him the memory of those two days at Falaise. How sweet she was, that little girl beside the Ante! “Tt is just a study,” he replies carelessly. “A study?” repeats the friend incredu- lously, and then the drawing is laid away with the others. But in replacing the volume the drawing falls unnoticed to the floor, face downward, and the office boy that evening seeing it lie there like a bit of waste paper, tosses it into the waste-basket, and later it goes to the rag- man with the other paper. * * * * * % And Arlette is still beside the Ante. She never thinks now of the one she met at the fair in the Faubourg of Guibray, but always of him who came so suddenly into her life, with his hamdsome face and his tender words, and who went out of her life as sud- denly. Only two.days; but the sweet pain of those two days will linger a whole life- time in one tender little heart beside the Ante. Whatifshe should once more see him there by the archway! And she looks often that way with a vague hope. ° The Arlette of eight centuries ago was happy in her Count Robert, who loved her. There are no Counts Robert now, and Ar- _ed, “We will send him back in a freight lette is still at her work beside the Ante, and the slow seasons come and go, and life is long, and remembered kisses are sweet. Foolish little Arlette! qo» ___ Naked and Not Ashamed. From the New York Tribune. There is unfortunately nothing new in adulteration. We all know that it has been going on for many years, and that it is cer- tainly not an American specialty. More than twenty years ago England was indebt- ed to Dr. Hassall and The Lancet for an ex- posure that drew a broad smirch over many reputations and for a time caused the habit- ual boasters about the probity of the English manufacturer and merchant to be silent. Parliament, however, took the subject up, and legislated promptly for the protection of the public, and since that time adulteration has been diverted to other lines of produc- tion, such as the cottons of Manchester, for instance. But if adulteration is a compara- tively old abuse, there is something about its manifestations which is not old. Formerly those who practised these tricks confessed their immorality by concealing and denying them. Now all that is changed, and adul- teration not only plants itself boldly among legitimate industries, but defends and justi- fies itself when attacked, and even assumes an air of injured innocence. The makers of bogus butter have exhibited a lack of moral perception in which they have been swiftly imitated by other adulter- aters. The men who are now charged with sophisticating coffee with deleterous sub- stances at once undertake to justify the practice be asserting, in effect, that competi- tion with dishonesty renders it necessary to be dishonest. The most remarkable fact, however, is that all the recent detected adul- terations have been of articles largely used for food, and though the use of unwhole- some and in some cases absolutely poisonous substances is alleged, no qualms appear to to have troubled the producers of these frauds as to the consequences of their action. Apparently the modern adulterator cares nothing whether he causes the deaths of any number of his fellow-creatures. He is pre- pared to use whatever drugs, chemicals or other substances may most readily effect his purpose, and he does not seem to have paused to ‘consider the possible effect of what he is using. He has thrown off all dis- guise. He does not make a pretence of car- rying on a legitimate business. He frankly avows his immorality. He is ‘‘naked, and not ashamed.” The manufacturer of terra-alba to mix with good products calmly carries on his vile traffic. The adulteration of groceries, of liquors, of drugs, of almost everything eat- able or wearable, is facilitated by the estab- lishment of firms who confine themselves to the preparation of the material used in the business; and so extensive is the trade that these manufacturers make large and constant profits. But there is a peculiarly ugly cyni- cism in the disregard of concealment in these matters. It seems to be thought that the world is too busy to pause for serious in- quiry into what it eats and drinks, and it is also getting too full for half the people ever to know that they are being cheated and poisoned. But what is the state of trade morals that condones this systematic in- iquity, that unblushingly takes advantage of these omnipresent means of fraud? Adul- teration in any form is bad enough, but adul- teration the agents of which are rather proud of their work than not, certainly indi- cates a laxity of commercial ethics which cannot proceed much further without pro- ducing a catastrophe. > -o-—-— Something New in Vendor Wagons. A man in a blue jumper, who blows him- self red in the face at regular intervals toot- ing a fish horn, leads a horse of consumptive gauntness through the residence streets every day. Behind the horse is a new vendor's wagon heaped with vegetables and fish. “Bre yar, fish, wedge-eatables, and hice,” shouts the vendor, letting the horse stand still as the customers flock around. They see the wagon is something new in the wagon line, and has a double bottom. The vendor gathers fish and vegetables from the top. When a customer wants ice he throws down the back board and yanks a piece out witha hook froma supply that is snugly stored under the false bottom on which fish and vegetables are spread. “This ’ere is a patent wagin,” the vender said, getting ready for afresh start. “Yer see, the ice is stored down there where it won’t melt and it keeps the fish and wedge- eatables cool and fresh at the same time The feller wot invented it had a big head, yer kin bet.” —_————_—~—>-o-<——————— A philanthropic young lady asked a gen- tleman friend if he did not think the ladies of the sewing circles accomplished much good by their efforts to aid the poor.

Keene was en route in a private palace-ear with $5,000,- 000 to use in Wall street Mr. Gould remark- car.” How Business Revives. Last week attention was called to the fact that the prices of many of the prime necessi- ties of life are very low. It is now proposed to explain how it is that low prices cure themselves, how the very fact that they are low causes them to advance,—in short, what is the process when there is a revival of business. An understanding of the principles which govern trade will enable all to forsee what must sooner or later take place. Speculation sometimes hastens, and sometimes retards the natural process, but can never stop it. The shrewdest speculator is merely the man who estimates most accurately what is to be the course of a particular market, and acts upon his judgment. Let it be supposed that the tendency of prices is downward, no matter what the cause of that tendency may be. What is the effect? Every man buys as little as possi- ble. Take, for example, cotton goods. The consumers, that is, the families using cotton goods, seeing that times are “hard,” avoid the dry goods store as long as they can. The retail dealer, finding the demand light, buys of the wholesaler less than usual. The wholesaler takes less than usual from the manufacturer. The manufacturer, whose mill continues to run full time, makes as many yards of cloth as before, and, as he does not sell so much, the stock accumulates on his hands. By-and-by the time comes when he feels he must sell at some price, and he marks his goods down. At the decline there is at first a slight in- crease in the amount purchased by the wholesaler, the retailer and the consumer; but soon the old situation is repeated, and again the manufacturer is piling up goods which he ecanhot sell. He cannot continue making them except at a loss, and to avoid that, he reduces the wages of his hands. So there is another drop, both in the price of goods and in wages. Since the laboring people now receive less than they formerly did, they feel themselves too poor,to buy goods, and again the demand slackens. This time the manufacturer is forced, either to shut down his mill alto- gether, or to run it on short time. In either case the production is reduced. Prices, meantime, have reached a low point, and the demand for goods is light. But something else has also happened in the meantime. What has taken place in one trade has substantially taken place in all. The demand for finished goods has been so 4 light that the price of raw materials has de- clined also. Moreover there are many arti- cles, and cotton goods is one of them, the use of which may be postponed, but cannot be dispensed with. That is, if a family buys and consumes less than usual this year, it must buy more next year. At last it occurs to some far-seeing man in the trade that prices cannot go any lower, because the stock on hand is low, and be- cause the times when consumption must in- crease again isat hand. This man quietly gives a large order for goods at a low price. Another dealer does the same. The fact that the supply is low begins to be recogniz- ed. Manufacturers put up their prices. The retailers see that the market has turn- ed, and make haste to give their orders be- fore the advance has made much progress. Consumers take the alarm, and do the same. In this way the courage of a few men who act upon a belief that prices are too low, re- sults in a sudden revival of business, and in a reversal of the tendency. But, of course, if they have made a mistake, the market does not turn, and they lose money instead of making it. Their act is a speculation, and if the natural events do not justify it, they suf& fer the consequences. It must not be understood that we have been describing the real stiuation at the present time, in cotton goods, or in anything else. Nor is it to be supposed that any prediction is made here as to the revival of business is near or remote. That is something which every person must determine for himself. The purpose of this article is only to de- seribe the prozess which always follows a season of depression, and which will be ob- served some time again, it may be next month, it may be some years hence. > -¢ <> __— Definition of a Yankee.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1884. ¢@ _Subscribers and others, when writing to advertisers, will confer a favor on thepub- lisher by mentioning that they saw the adver- tisement.in the columns of this paper. Chicago has one grocery store to every eighty-nine families, a bakery to every 455, a butcher to every 210, and a liquor saloon to every thirty-five. Walla Walla, Washington Territory, a city of but 7,000 inhabitants, sets an example whieh Grand Rapids and many other cities could follow to advantage. A municipal or- dinance, which is strictly enforced, prohibits tobacconists from selling cigarettes or tobac- co in any form to children under fourteen years of age. Mr. Harvey J. Carr, book-keeper for H. Leonard & Sons, contributes an article to the American Counting Room on the ‘subject of “Determining the Aggregate of Personal Debtors without Detailed Statement.” The article is a reply to a query from a Balti- more correspondent, and presents the sub- ject concisely and explicitly. He laughs best who laughs last. And it is Tue TRADESMAN’S turn to laugh now. A few weeks ago THE TRADESMAN Stated that there were certain changes in prospect among the officers of the Fourth National Bank, and the Leader Eagle hastened to denounce the statement as false and mis- leading. But the changes predicted, togeth- er with others not dreamed of at that time, have occurred, and THE TRADESMAN stands vindicated. Hence, we laugh. * The St. Louis Republican thus refers to the ruling disparity in prices, and ventures a prediction which every business man would like to see fulfilled: The disparity in the price of grain and that of beef, hog products, poultry and dairy predvets is remarkable. The price of wheat is not greater than it was half a century ago, while that of live stock is double what it was even thirty years ago. This inequality is owing no doubt, in part, to the changed methods of cultivation, but it is still abnor- mal, and cannot continue as a fixed condi- tion of things. . While the capitalists engaged in the cot- ton industries of New England refuse to ac- cept arbitration in the settlement of disputes with their workmen, the representatives of the iron industry in western Pennsylvania ‘show more readiness to take this course than -do their employes. Theconference between ‘the two having resulted}in no agreement, the iron manufacturers have filed a petition ask- ing that a license be granted under the act providing for the creation of Trade Tribu- ‘nals. The law requires that the masters and men shall unite in the application, and that the second party shall apply within six- ty days after a conditional license has been -granted to the first. In this case the iron- - workers have not taken action as yet. The existing arrangements continue at any rate * until the 10th June, and it is not expected that they will make up their minds on this point until the month is nearerits end. _ Should a tribunal be created under the act, its decisions would not be compulsory, but ‘any overt act of interference with them might be adjudged contempt of court. It is this feature of the law which causes hesitation -on the part of the workmen; but it is to be hoped that their good sense will prevent their refusing the reference of their case to impartial judges. Good sense, however, is not the quality that comes most to the front in labor strikes and lockouts, especially those occurring periodically in western Penn- sylvania. Both masters and men are of that stubborn Scotch-Irish stock, which dearly loves a fight and bitterly hates giving in. For more than half a century Pittsburg has , been famous for the obstinacy of its quarrels ~ over the question of wages.

A YANKEE DRUMMER, How He Come It on a Texas Sheriff. Sheriff Wiggins, of Dallas, Texas, made it a prominent part of his business to ferret out and punish commercial travelers who trav- eled in Texas without a licinse; but one morning he met his match, a genuine Yan- kee drummer. €O“What have you got to sell? Anything? asked the sheriff, as he met the Connecticut man on the streets. “Oh, yes; I’m selling medicine—patent medicine. Selling Radway’s Ready Relief, and its the best thing in the world. You ought to try a bottle. It will cure your ager, cure rheumatism, cure anything.” “And you will sell me a case?” “Sartenly, sir; glad to.” Then the sheriff bought a case. “Anything more?” asked the drummer. “Yes, sir; I want to see your license for selling goods in Texas. That is my duty as the high sheriff of Dallas county. The drummer showed him a document, fixed up good and strong, in black and white. The sheriff looked at it, and pro- nounced it “all right.” Then turning to the commercial traveler, he said: “J don’t kuow, now that I’ve bought this stuff, that I’ll ever want it. I reckon that I may as well sell it to you again. What will you give for it?” “Oh, 1 don’t know that the darned stuff is any use to me, but seeing its you, sheriff, Pi give you a dollar for the lot, if you raly don’t want it.’ The sheriff delivered back the medicine at four dollars discount from his own purchase, and received the change. “Now,” said the drummer, “I’ve got a question or tewto ask you. Hev you got a drummer’s license about your trousers any- where?” “No; I haven’t any use for the article my- self,” replied the sheriff. ““Hain’t, eh? Wal, 1 guess we’ll see about that pretty darned soon. If I understand the law, it’s a clean case that you’ve been tradin’ with me, and hawkin’ and peddlin’ Radway’s Ready Relief on the high way, and I shall inform on you—darn’d ef I dot neow!’? When the Yankee reached the court house he made his complaint, and the sheriff was fined eight dollars for selling goods without a license. The sheriff was heard afterwards to say that “you might as well try to hold a greased eel as a live Yankee.” —_—_——_——>_<—___——_ Want to Join the Campion Association. Grand Rapids, May 30. Eprror TRADESMAN :—How can a drug- gist obtain a list of the mediicne manufactur- ers that have joined the Campion Associa- tion, so to know which goods are to be sold strictly at price? What steps should manufacturers take to join such association? An answer will much oblige Yours Respectfully, O. H. RicuMonp & Co. We believe thas about forty manufacturers have joined the compact up to thistime. Ac- cessions to the ranks are coming in every few days. ‘The following are the original mem- bers of the compact; J.C. Ayer Company, Dr. D. Jayne & Son, Hostetter & Smith, The Charles A.

OFFICE IN EAGLE BUILDING, 3d FLOOR. [Entered at the Postoffice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Matter.| WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1884. BUSINESS LAW. Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. Suretyship—Defalcation, (A surety can not be held bound by any failure of his principal after the discovery of his defalcation, unless he is informed of it.— Court of Appeals of Kentucky. Liability for Injury. L. & G. were the owners of 200 pieces of | timber, which they caused their servant to pile on a vacant lot in such a manner that the top of the pile fell off and killed the son of B., who, as administrator, brought suit and was awarded judgment in the lower courts. On appeal to the Kentucky Court of Appeals the lower court was restrained in the following opinion: ‘The owner of land may retain to himself the sole and exclusive use and occupation of it, but a due regard for the welfare and rights of others makes the owner liable for the negligent use of his property, wherby the person or property of another is injured.” Sale—Warranty of Thing Sold. A. bought of B. two horses, and they died of Spanish fever or Texas mange. He sued upon an alleged§ warranty that the horses were “all right, sound and free from disease,” and he complained that they were infected of the disease from which they died when they were delivered to him. The defendant said that he had only expressed an opinion as to the health of theanimals. The plaintiff was beaten, and he carried the judgment to the Supreme Court of Nebraska, where he was again defeated. The Chief Justice, Lake, in the opinion, said: “In determining whether a warranty was intended to be given a decisive test is whether the vendor as- sumes to assert a fact of which the buyer is ignorant, or merely states an opinion or judg- ment upon a matter of which the vendor has no special knowledge, and on which the buy- er may be expected also to have an opinion and to exercise his judgment. When the language of the warranty is such that it amounts unquestionably to a warranty, its legal effect cannot be defeated by any secret intention of the seller, and where the evi- dence bears no doubt of the legal force of the representation the court may and should declare its effect; but should there be a doubt the jury must determine the meaning and effect of the words.” Trade Mark—Use of Like Name. Manufacturers of hair pins did business under the name of D. F. Tayler & Co., and the pins were well known and had a ready sale as ““Tayler’s Hair Pins,” and D. F. Tay- ler & Co.’s Hair Pins,” and the device on the packages, which were made up of pink and yellow papers, was exclusively used by them. Other persons who also made hair pins, got the use of naine of one L. B. Tay- lor to put on their wrappers and printed on them “L. B. Taylor & Co.,” adding the words, ‘‘Cheshire, Conn.,”’ and using the same eolored papers. In a suit brought for an in- junction to restrain the latter, the Supreme Court of Errors, of Connecticut, decided in favor of the plaintiffs. Judge Pardee, in the epinion, said: ‘Though the defendants adopted the label and device and used the eolored papers in good faith, believing that they were not infringing the plaintiff’s rights, yet an injunction must be granted. Purchas- ers who read the entire trade-mark could not be misled, but it is a matter of common knowledge that many such persons are in a greater or less degree careless and unwary in the maiter of purchasing articles for their own use; still, their patronage is not for that reason less profitable to the manufacturer, and when such persons have knowledge of the good qualities of the plaintiff’s hair pins and desire to purchase them, the law will not permit the defendants to mislead them. Now, the use of a like name, which was pur- chased solely for use in this connection, with the other adjuncts, are weli calculated to de- ceive these careless and unwary purchasers, to the serious injury of the plaintiff, and they should bave the injunction they ask for.” nn lO She Forgot Her Baby. A curious instance of forgetfulness occur- red in this city last week. Itis a confuta- tion of the saying, “‘Can a mother forget her child?” Two ladies, with an infant of appar- ently two years, called at a carpet store, and after the usual inspection of patterns select- ed one to suit, the busy clerk attended to other customers, and the ladies went out. This was about 1 o’clock in the afternoon. At 3 o’clock, imagine the surprise of the elerk when he found the infant calmly sleep- ing in a snug corner behind a pile of carpet. She soon awoke and began crying. Think- ing that she might be hungry, the clerk was sent out with her to a restaurant, where her little ladyship’s good humor was restored by a dainty repast. As they were on their re- turn to the store one of the forgetful ladies came hurriddly up, and, with ‘‘Where have you been with my child?” she seized the neg- lected infant and hurried away. > < Choice Butter can always be had at M.

Church “Bedette” Co,, Manufacturer of £ “Bedette.” THE PATENTED JUNE 15, 1883. This invention supplies a long felt want for a cheap portable bed, that can be put away i a small space when not in use, and yet make a roomy, comfortable bed when waited. Of the many cots that are in the market there is not one, cheap or expensive, on which a comfortable night’s rest can be had. They are all narrow, short, without spring, and in short no bed at all. While THE Breperrx folds into a small space, and is as light as anything can be made for dura- bility, when set up it furnishes a bed wide and long enough for the largest man i - fortable to lie upon as the most expensive bed. It is so constructed that the Nee aise goes ulated by the patent adjustable tension cords, form the most perfect spring bed. The canvas covering is not tacked to the frame, as on all cots, but is made adjustable, so that it can be taken off and put on again by any one in a few minutes,.or easily tightened, should it become loose, at any time from stretching. It is a perfect spring bed, soft and easy, without springs or mattress. For warm weather it is a complete bed, without the addition of anything; for cold weather it is only necessary to add sufficient clothing. The ‘‘ BEDETTE” is a household neces- sity, and no family after once using, would be without it. It is simple in its construction, and oe Langan % at out of repair. It makes a pretty lounge, a perfect bed, and the price is within Price—36 in. wide, by 634 ft. long, $3.50; 30 in wide, by 6 ft. | 00; 27 in. wide, by 434 ft. long, cover not adjustable, $9.50. yee oie S00; 9 in For sale by furniture dealers every- sent to any address on receipt of price.

Epiror TRADESMAN :—This town lies at the foot of a range of the Cumberland Moun- tains, and fresh, invigorating breezes blow constantly down. The South, and espec- ially this part, has developed wonder- fully since the close of the war. An infusion of energetic Northern blood has accomplished wonders, and new manu- factories are constantly going up in all sections. Improved methods of agricul- ture have been adopted, which, with the nat- ural fertility of the soil, coupled with the use of the latest farm machinery, have increased the production four-fold. It is no idle pre- diction to state that if the present rate of ad- vancement is made in the next ten years this section will surpass the North. This ‘“‘blue- grass” section is the great short-horn and fine horse region, famed the world over. They take the ribbon everywhere for fine stock. The new graded school bill passed recently by the Legislature of this State, will do much to advance the interests of the people. That has been a lamentable lack throughout the entire South in the past, which is rapid- ly being remedied. Gro. W. BIEHN. ————————<—>0<___—_ Forgot His Name. : A certain young Hebrew traveling man, with an older companion, bought a special ticket of a sealper and got aboard the train. When the conductor came around he took up Isaac’s ticket and looked at the name and then at Isaac, shook his head and said,— “What's your name?” “Tet me see my ticket.” “Can’t you tell your name without seeing the ticket? That won’t do. You'll have to get off at the next station or pay your fare.” : This agitated Isaac profoundly, and he tured to his companion and said, “Moses, lve forgot my name that was on the ticket. Can you tell me what it is?” dogter?” inquired Moses. showed it to him. name is dees? Patrick Moriarty! you nefer got some more teekets pi dem de dimes gif you avay.’’ ys i —O-<— > xood Success.

Though buttons of all kinds are made in Birmingham, the pearl branch is the most extensive. Mother-o’-pearl isa most suit- able material for making buttons; it is so strong, so pretty and so easily worked. The shells are obtained from Australia, Manila, Bombay, Egypt, South America, and some other places. They are as large as_ dessert- plates, and half an inch in thickness. The button-maker cuts the shell into lozenge- shaped pieces of various sizes, so as to leave as little waste as possible, for the shells are expensive, a ton of picked specimens costing £300. The cutting isdone by means ofa saw in the shape of a tube, with the teeth cut upon the rim of one of its ends. oO H. B. Clafflin, the famous New York dry goods merchant, is said to be a very small man, with fluffy hair and a[{small, smooth, doll-like face. Every afternoon at half- past three o’clock, wet or dry, he jumps in- to a light wagon behind a fleet horse and goes spinning down toward Coney Island from his winter residence in Brooklyn. There is nothing showy or stylish about his turnout, and few who see the little man would take him for a millionaire. <9 < Buttons are not moving quite as freely as the dealers expected, and it seems that large quantities of old ones are being used on new garments. This is one phase of the eco- nomic spirit of the times. There has been some activity in buttons showing combina- tions of pearl and steel, but metal buttons, with the exception of some steel effects, have fared poorly. > -0¢ > Wooden ornaments for dresses and cloaks are made of white holly. These imitate old ivory, and are carved or painted.

A large dealer in builders’ hardware said recently that the demand for clinch or clout nails and for chisel-pointed wire-nails had largely increased within a year, as compared with that for the ordinary cut nails, and that flooring-nails with the wedge-shaged heads were also used in place of the nails with the flat upset heads. His reasons were that better work resulted from the bet- ter nails, and there was far less waste. For the coarsest purposes the less first cost of the ordinary cut nails with the flat head in- duced builders to continue their use; but he believed the improved form and better ma- terial. of the tough wire and clinch nails would, in due time, drive out the inferior material and defective form. The principal 60 | advantage of the wedge-shaped head, as in floor nails, is that the head never breaks off in driving, as it is only the gradual enlarge- ment of the body of the nail instead of an upset across the nail. But the chisel point of the. wire nail is its especial merit, as it euts a clean passage, through the fibers of the wood for the following of the body of the nail, instead of #stunting” and mu- tilating the fibers, as thé blunt-poited nails do. Bem The common cut nails will not usually clinch, even when the clinch is turned in the direction of the grain of the woed; but. they may be considerably toughened by heating to ared, and gradually cooling. A hardware} establishment was burned a few years ago, and among the stores were nearly a hundred kegs of cut nails of various sizes. The re- mains from the fire were sold to another dealer, and as soon as the value of the burn- ed nails became known he could sell no others until they were gone. A New Tack-Machine. A Connecticut man has perfected an, auto- matic machine for making upholsterers’ tacks, and is producing the goods at Torring- ton. These tacks have so far been imported, and the secret of the English manufacturer is not know. Various attempts have been made in this country to devise machinery for producing these goods, but failed finan- ‘cially. The new machine turns out perfect tacks at the rate of 150 per minute. An av- erage day’s work is 60,000. One man can take care of four of these machines. By us- ing different dies the heads may be either round or cone-shaped, and several sizes can be made. After shaping, another machine polishes the face of the metal. The immense quantity used is shown by the fact that an importer in New York receives eight or ten millions of these tacks monthly. —_——__—- Boston has the ete ink manufactory ae the world.

Incidents that Enlivened the Journey of a Traveling Salesman. “Tf I didn’t have a trip spiced with variety this time.” said .a furniture traveler the other day, “then I’ll give you my commis- sions.” “To start with, when we stopped at La- fayette, Ind., where I had some business, I was requested by a couple of train men to give them a hand toward lifting a man off the cowcatcher of the locomotive. Nobody knew when he got on there, or how far he had ridden, but he was dead. From that time on my trip was quite dull until I struck a town in Pennsylvania called McKeesport. People were all worked up there over a little incident that had just occurred. _ “Two boys, while digging in the bank of the river, had uncovered about half a peck of silver dollars. They were hurrying home with the boodle when they were stopped by a strange man wearing a straw hat and red hair. He madethe boys show him what they had. They were carrying the money in their hats. ‘They showed up, and he told ’em that he had lost that money himself and had just missed it, and was on his way back to look for it. So the boys handed it over to him, hats and all, and took to their heels. “The man who had so _ luckily recovered his money couldn’t afterward be found, and the whole community was out looking after him. It seems themoney had been hidden more than forty years ago, and had belonged to some old resident who had been murder- ed and robbed in his bed. That’s what they told me, and folks were very mad about the way the find had turned out. “Then I struck a little quiet place called Windsor, and the town was so worked up over a family disturbance that I had to leave without doing any business at all. It seems that one of the citizens of the place had been sent to the penitentiary some months before for picking up a man’s halter strap and going away with it, without think- ing to take off the horse that happened to be at the end of it. His widow married an- other man, and subsequently exchanged him for another. The first one got mad, and the second one inserted_a knife in the first one’s neck. This led to quite a family row, and the citizens of the place, male and female, took charge of both the lady and gentleman im the case, and ran them out of town with bells on. Consequently, society was all torn up, and the stores hadn’t taken their shutters down yet, and I moved on. “At Franklin things were comparatively quiet. A young lady had eloped with a young man her father had a grudge against, and the old man had lammed the life nearly out of the young fellow and had taken the girl away from him. There wasa constable looking for the old man when I got there, but there was no stir. “At Oil City I met a man who was _look- ing for his team and wagon, his wife, three children and a man that used to clerk for him up in New York State somewhere. He had tracked them as faras Titusville, but there they gave him the slip. He seem- ed to take things pretty cool, unless there was something hot in what he took at the bar every ten minutes. “At Butler, a man 84 years old, with great-grandchildren old enough to be mar- ried, had come in from the back country and was looking for some one to marry him toa girl not yet sixteen. He was leading her around by the hand. This didn’t stop busi- ness in the place, but it made talk. He wasn’t married yet when I left. The girl was nice looking, neat, and smart, and I wondered what she could be thinking of. I found out later that the old man had a tip- top farm and $25,000 in cash. “At Petrolia the people were out looking for awild man. They hadn’t lost one, but they seemed anxious to find this one, be- cause he was chiefly engaged in butchering sheep and things that are usually left around loose in the fields out there. Before the wild man came to disturb them a long-head- ed old citizen had been robbed for the third time by masked burglars. He had the hab- it of keeping a hundred thousand dollars or so stuck away in coffee pots, stockings, old boots, and such, because he~ didn’t believe inbanks. The folks were so broke up over the wild man that I thought it would be too bad to mention business to them, so I grab- bed my gripsack and shook the place. “T got to Port Allegheny just in time to hear of the suicide of an old gentleman who had four living wives, and who had tired of life, after burning down the barns of the fourth. Things were quiet, though, and the funeral was small. I got on the Erie road at Olean, and turned up in Hornellsville in time to see a horse running away at the rate of twenty miles an hour with a corpulent gentleman of Teutonic cast of features. The gentleman attempted to jump out, and did. But he fell in front of the wagon, and both wheels went over him right at the belt. That upset the wagon. The. gentleman got up and walked to a board fence and laid down. Some men carried him into ahotel. The horse and wagon wenton. Ina few minutes they came back. The horse was trotting gently. A stout lady sat in the wagon driv- ing. It turned out to be the gentleman’s wife. ‘She had stopped the horse and right- ed things, and come back to see what was the matter. Her husband breathed hard for a while, then took a glass of beer, got in the wagon, and the two drove away as cheerful as if nothing had happened. “f don’t know what else would have hap- pened on my trip if 1 hadn’t taken a sleep- ing car at Buffalo and came right straight home.” Soaps and Their Constituent Elements. “Cleanliness is next to Godliness’ is as true an aphorism to-day as it was ages ago, when the discovery of some saponacious roots led to the invention and subsequent manufacture of soap. The invention of this necessary luxury is credited by Pliny to the Gauls, when it was first made of tallow and ashes. Then as now, history asserts, fash+ ionable ladies and gentleman in Rome dyed their hair red, Then, however, they used soaps instead of the dyes that are now the rage. Different kinds of oil employed in making soap contain a lesser or greater proportion of the prominent principles of fatty matter, and among the most important ones used for soap are tallow, poppy, rape, linseed, cocoa- nut, palm and olive oil, hempseed. Castile soap is made from the last but one. The best oil for soaps comes from Naples and Spain. Oils from the East are not rich in stearine, and are more or less colored with green, which is objectionable. The ordinary mode of saponification, as the conversion of fat is called, is by boiling with a solution of caustic potash. Meat fats require less con- tinual boiling with excess of alkali. Some others, such as lard, beef marrow and oil of sweet almonds are easily saponified with caustic alkali. Rosin, which is capable of forming a soap with either potash or soda, is frequently added to soaps. Soaps are scented and colored by mixing coloring matter and volatile oils together, and sometimes are medi¢ated with anti-sep- tic and other materials, such as creosote, car- bolic acid, chlorate of potash and sulphur, and used as detergents in skin diseases. For the latter great care should be taken to have them as pure as possible. In fact, in all sorts of soap this is a sine qua non. It has been asserted that soaps made in Europe are better than those made here, as the fatty substances composing them are not kept so long, and they are not only better for the skin, but are less apt to deteriorate. On the other hand, our prominent soap manufactur- ers here claim the greater likelihvod of soap retaining its qualities is not so much the ma- terial it is made of, but the way it is made. The machinery and improvements used in this country are in some respects superior to those used abroad, and great strides in the popularity of American soaps have been the results. In Europe the greater proportion of svap is made in Great Britain, but the finer sorts are manufactured in France, where the civilized world is apt to look for toilette de luxe. = 9 <= ALL SORTS. Wm.

PERTH RR RR HS Alabastine is the first and only prepara- tion made from calcined gypsum rock, for application to walls with a brush, and is fully covered by our several patents and perfected by many years of experiments. It is the only permanent wall finish, and admits of applying as many coats as de- sired, one over another, to any hard surface without danger of scaling, or noticeably adding to the thickness of the wall, which is strengthened and improved by each ad- ditional coat, from time to time. It is the only material for the purpose not dependent upon glue for its adhesiveness ; furthermore it is the only preparation that is claimed to possess these great advantages, which are essential to constitute a durable wall finish. Alabastine is hardened on the wall by age, moisture, etc.; the plaster absorbs the admixtures, forming a stone cement, while all kalsomines, or other whitening preparations, have inert soft chalks, and glue, for their base, which are rendered soft, or sealed, in a very short time, thus necessitating the well-known great incon- venience and expense, which all have ex- perienced, in washing and scraping off the old coats before refinishing. In addition to the above advantages, Alabastine is less expensive, as it requires but one-half the number of pounds to cover the same amount of surface with two coats, is ready for use by simply adding water, and is easily ap- plied by any one.
