Quite likely there may be a few con- scjentious women who remember to jot down in their neat, little account books small sums of money spent on so many pounds of candy from time to time. But the great majority of people who in- dulge in sweets regard the expense as an insignificant item. Now, the factis that each year New York alone uses hundreds of thousands of pounds of candy, for which she spends considerably over that amount in money, and forgets al] about it. Did the world only know how many bonbons the ordinary young woman con- sumes in one season along with ices, eakes and fruits, we would immediately begin issuing statistics to prove that the next generation cannot escape utter phys- ical depletion or hereditary dyspepsia. But our girls will not be denied their be- loved “lumps of delight,’? and so long as , they do not lose their resy cheeks and round curves, parents seem quite willing to endanger the digestions of the coming generations. So the demand for good candies increases every year, and the candy factories work each season through to regulate the supply. They are huge, square, red brick build- ings, these factories, where the whirr of |; machinery is heard at all hours of the ; day and the air of the neighboring street is filed with the fragrance of hot choc- olate and boiling sugar. They nestle mostly in the thickly settled portions of the East and West Sides, and are not in- viting buildings to the ordinary observer. ; Still, the story of life inside the walls | of turned out to be a pleasant one. Into one of the big gloomy-looking buildings the writer went, and the walk up three flights narrow and somewhat dark stairs, past much noisy machinecy and barrels of what seemed like sugar was not cal- culated to give one a favorable impres- sion of the place. But the room which 1 entered on the third floor was a revela- tion of light and cleanliness. It was the place where the girls and women wrap and pack chocolate and bonbons. It was agreat room set with long tables and cooled by revolving fans. On comfort- able, long-legged wooden chairs sit the girls before the table, chatting as they work. Each one wears asimple calico frock and long white apron, with old- fashioned mob caps pinned over the hair. This work consists in wrapping long bars and cakes of chocolate in tinfoil and oiled paper. Then other women add the thick, white, stamped paper, seal the ends with glue and add a band or ticket of trade-mark. These are again placed in wooden boxes or piled on trays and carried to the storage room. This isa vast room, with a marble floor, filled with shelves and tables, while cool draughts of air come up through grated shafts set in the wall. Here are great blocks of chocolate as thick and square as paving stones, cooking cakes put up in papers, ground chocolate in pans all prepared for use, and thousands upon thousands of pound boxes and bonboniers ready for the retail shops. ‘Well,’ remarked the forewoman of this floor, ‘‘] have been here eight years, and like my business. I began just as you see them doing in the work-room, at wrapping, and now I get a pretty little salary, and my duties are almost light. 1 overlook the girls’ work, initiate new- comers and keep a record of the storage | room. We none of us are oppressed by ruJes and regulations, are fairly paid for our work, and I find that if there are no restrietions to bind one or bosses to insist upon rules, we work quite as well and are twice as cheerful and happy. The girls’ fingers must tly, tongues may also. At intervals they are but their | societies for protection of rights among them, and I ean hardly explain reason, but in some way we secure the best girls, and among the great number working in this factory there is not one who, to my knowledge, is coarse or badly conducted: perhaps it is the sweetness of the candies that affects the natures. Do we eat much candy? Well, for my own part, I am very fond of it, and find that my long association with so many sweets | has only served to strengthen my liking for it. We may eat a great deal, and to me it is aregular part of my diet, and 1} would miss it sorely were I obliged to stop. Outsiders imagine that we never touch even a chocolate drop, as the con- stant working with it soon disgusts the appetite, and physicians will insist that sweets are very injurious; but our con- stitutions are not yet wrecked, and I am sure we are afar rosier, healthier looking set of women than you will find in other factories. Exercise. fresh air and ab- solute cleanliness is what keeps the skin clear and eyes bright, and if this were the case in the other great manufacturing buildings, our girls would not be the sallow, dispirited set most of them are.’’ The pretty little forewoman became very earnest over her sma!] moralization on the wrongs of workingwomen, and then insisted I should go to the next floor, where caramels, nut candies and crystallized fruits were in process of cutting and packing by the women. Thereupon we climbed another flight, and found that a great machine, run by hand, was busy cutting, what seemed to be at first. great muddy, sticky looking slabs of stuff into the delicious and suc- culent caramel. As the little brown and yellow cubes fell into a receiver, they were carried to tables, where girls with deft fingers wrapped them in squares of oiled paper. “Doesn’t it make you almost dizzy to sit and twirl those little papers ?’’ I en- quired of one sweet-looking young woman. “Oh. no, indeed !? she answered, ‘‘for every now and then | get up, walk about a bit, pick out nuts or help dip choc- olate; and here comes some one to ask the loan of my place, and I'l] show you what they doin the other room. Here, you see, are big, wire baskets full of English walnuts, pistache nuts, pecans, ete., and here are the nut candies ready to be erystalized;’’? and I caught sight of pans piled high with the tempting dain- ties. Near by stood jars of stone filled with the cream ready to run in molds, dipped in a chocolate tub and set in the refrigerator to dry into a full-fledged chocolate cream. The chocolate tub is a huge porcelain basin fully five feet deep and ten feet in circumference at the top. This is filled with liquid chocolate and stirred by an enormous stone arm that works by machinery. The girls place the molds of cream, cocoanut, nuts, ete., on perforated tin trays, and, holding them in one hand, dip up the chocolate in big, tin spoons and pour it over again and again until enough has adhered to form acrust. The trays are then hur- ried into the refrigerator that is setin the wall and occupies one side of the room. The hot chocolate cools, dries and hard- ens, so that when the trays are taken out the candy is ready to be boxed. “Now you must come and see our dressing rooms,’ insisted my guide, and she exhibited a long room, the walls of which were lined with compartments where each girls gown and bonnet were carefully stowed. ‘‘We have a comfortable lavatory and small room furnished with GOL, ete. where any one suddenly taken ill may lie down. Oh, yes, we like it very much, and up here in these cool, clean rooms we find work easy in the hottest weather. The girls rarely give up their places ex- cept for something very much better or to marry, and in the latter case we lose them from time to time. Last month the nicest gir] in our room married the pro- prietor of alittle candy shop, and for her wedding gift we all combined to buy a certain French bonboniere she had ad- mired very much. We all went to the ceremony and the breakfast, and, you see, candy girls come in for their share of fun and happiness like the rest of the world.’ a oe —<— A Newly Discovered Textile Fiber. The day, we venture to say, is far from its dawn when one can say that human ingenuity has appropriated all the benefits which nature has so bounti- fully laid up in store for the use of the human family. The inventions and dis- coveries of even the past decade not only bear out this, but what is more, they allure us onward with insinuations that the appropriations we have so far made are infinitesimal compared to what is be- yond. The latest of discoveries is the use of the leaves of the pine for the making of a textile fiber which can be converted into many articles, some of great commercial importance. These leaves, which are gathered from the felled trees of varieties of pine known as the pitch. long-leaved, and field pine, by women and children, and solid to the factory at fifteen cents per 100 pounds, or $3 per ton. The process of converting into fiber the pine straw is to first throw the latter into a large tank, and a proper amount of caustic soda added, the mass then thoroughly cooked by steam, is |after which it is passed through a ‘‘rub- allowed to get up, walk about, and often | exchange places at the tables, and so; learn to be proficient in every detail of the business.

From the New York Tribune Two years ago fair refining sugar sold at $4.44 per 100 pounds, granulated at $5.94, and crushed at $6.12. The cost of refining .then appeared to justify a dif- ference of $1.50 per 100 pounds between {the raw sugar and the granulated, and $1.68 between the raw sugar and ihe rushed. Now the prices are $7.06 for i fair refining, $9 itor erushed. The refiners now exact 1$1.94 per 100 pounds for their services between the raw and granulated -ugar, and $2.44 per 100 pounds between the raw and the crushed. But that does not tell the whole story. The Sugar Trust made its boast at the outset that it could control the market for raw sugar in this country, and it appears to | done so at times. At have other times, opponents of the Trust are supposed to have advanced the price of raw sugar, either in an effort to geta supply or in an endeavor to embarrass the combination. In either case the real cause of the unnatural! state of the mar- ket is the conspiracy to extort money from consumers, and the facts prove that up to date the amount of money extorted has been large. Roughly, the consump- tion at fifty pounds per capita costs about three cents per pound more than it for- merly did, or $1.50 for every inhabitant, $7.50 for every family, and $97,500,000 for the entire population. The whole revenue derived by the government from the duties on sugar of all kinds was only $52,000,000 last year. If the govern- ment could spare the revenue, and put an end to the sugar combinations by re- pealing all duties, it would simply pre- sent to the people a sum nearly twice as large as it now takes from them by the duties. The theory that the advance in price has been brought about by natural causes only does not bear scrutiny. There is a vast deal of confusing talk about the statistical position, but there has been no such change in the world’s supply of sugar as to excuse a rise of 50 per cent. in price. The International Convention, which was intended to put an end to pay- ment of bounties in Germany and France, has reported sundry propositions, but the British Government has refused to take the responsibility of bringing the matter to a vote, and nothing can come of it in other countries without the accession of Great Britain. A proposition to cut off part of the import duty and to substitute a bounty to American consumers was favored in the Senate last winter, but could not pass the House. When Congress assembles next winter, if the Sugar Trust lives so long, one of the most important duties before repre- sentatives of the people will be to con- sider whether the existing duties on sugar, raw and refined, tend in any way to aid or encourage a combination to ex- tort money from American consumers, and in what way the duties can be so changed as most effectually to defeat that combination. For there is no room for doubt about the hostility of this particu- lar Trust to the public interest. It has, in facet, suppressed production at impor- tant works. and it has, in fact, increased the cost of sugar to conSumers. Its organizers and defenders have asserted that the existing duties do not help the Trust in the slightest degree, and that their repeal would not lessen its power. Congress will] find itself forced by public opinion to look into the matter very closely, and to make it entirely clear that members do not mean to leave any rea- sonable or proper thing undone that may help to protect the public against extor- tion. Had the business of refining sugar been left free, it would have deserved consid- eration with other industries. A bounty to producers of American refined, as well as of raw sugar, if it can be strictly lim- ited so that no part of itcan ever be paid to a concern connected with or controlled or operated by a combination to fix prices and control production, would be justi- fied asa means of effectually encourag- ing sugar production in this country. That it is possible to render a nation com- pletely independent of all others in this respect Germany has shown. ———c—> The Direct Consumption of From the New York Shipping List. Among the numerous trade problems for which a solution is being constantly sought are those that seek to ascertain the varying relations of supply and de- mand; for, after all, they furnish the most important and direct influences that shape the course of trade. Apart from speculative influences, which make it possible to artificially advance or depress prices, the direct distributor of mer- chandise, as well as the manufacturer, are always endeavoring to ascertain the abundance or scarcity of supplies, pres- ent as well as prospective, and at the isame time to gauge the volume of con- sumption. To accomplish either with absolute accuracy is well nigh impossible. The actual yield of cropsisnever known until long after they have been garnered and estimates as to the actual volume of leonsumption are liable to almost the same uncertainty. In both cases, how- ever, there are well-known guide-posts iwhich make it possible for intelligent ‘merchants to estimate with a fair degree of accuracy the general drift of trade, but there are times when th? situation presents so many contradictory phases | that even the best of experiences feel at Coffee. isea. The anomalous condition of the |coffee trade for several months past to have presented just such a | Seems 'state of affairs and many have anxiously sought a solution of the complex prob- lem. Various features of the situation | have been dealt with from time to time in these columns as they have arisen, which it is not necessary here to re- hearse, but in the light of some recent |investigation, the result of which has ‘been placed at our disposal, an oppor- | tunity is afforded to refer to still another | | | | for granulated and $9.50! important phase of the present condition ot + cofiee tirade, and that is the effect ot ent prices upon consumption. One of the largest distributors of coffee in this country has within the past few weeks completed, through its salesmen, a very thorough canvass of the coffee trade over an unusually wide section of the West, Northwest and Southwest. The y was directed particularly to as- certaining whether retailers were carry- ing large or small stocks; whether buy- ers were looking for higher or lower prices, and whether consumption has been affected by present prices, and to what extent. The thirty-six replies re- ceived from these correspondents are brief and bear upen their face the im- print of being the results of keen and experienced observation, which re- markable for unanimity and har- mony. With regard to stocks: the testi- mony is unanimous that small dealers are carrying light stocks, in many in- stances scarcely a thirty-days’ supply for their ordinary trade, while one expres- sion is, ‘They will not buy until near the end of the case of roasted cof- fee.’ The larger dealers, however, would seem to have stocked up a little more freely. The testimony is equally unanimous as to the expectation of lower prices, several particularizing the months ef July and August; but what is of greater interest and importance is the testimony of these witnesses as to the falling off in consumption on account of high prices. A majority say that their trade has fallen off fully one-third, a large number find it 25 per cent. smaller, several say they have not sold within 50 per cent. of what they did last year, there are a number that say their sales have decreased from 10 to 15 per cent., two acknowledge a decrease, but not to any great extent, and one finds that con- sumption has increased. One reply from Dakota says, ‘‘In the extreme Northwest 35 per cent.. are substituting tea;’’ an- other from Western Michigan says, ‘‘Tea is being pushed in my territory for all there is in it:’’ another from Kansas says, ‘‘Farmers are drinking buttermilk;’’? and another from Minnesota says, ‘‘The mer- chants are selling more green tea than they do roasted eoffee.’’ This testimony is the result of the ob- servation of men who come in contact constantly with retailers and consumers, and who, therefore, enjoy the best facil- ities for making just such an estimate, the result of which ought not to surprise those who have not been prejudiced by following the bull lead in recent opera- tions. Here is a definite reply to the often repeated enquiry, Have high prices curtailed consumption? As one of the above salesmen very forcibly remarks, 60 cents a bushel for wheat and 25 cents a pound for coffee is too great a differ- ence. High prices, therefore, have not only curtailed actual consumption, but, fur- thermore, have caused small dealers to carry light stocks, partly because they have not cared to take the risk of losing money by a sudden depreciation of their stock, and partly because of the larger amount of capital that the carrying of such stock has required at the enhanced cost. Under these circumstances, the city jobber very naturally enquires, what has become of the increased warehouse deliveries that have been made during the past twelve months ? Obviously they have increased what are termed the ‘-working stocks’’ of interior jobbers and roasters, especially in large distributing centers like Chicago, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Toledo, Cleveland, St. Paul, ete. nt The Biter Bitten. Frem the United States Economist. There is a contemptible practice which enquir e is its last is becoming more general, but which sometimes leaves the biter bit. It is best illustrated by what a large buyer said to arepresentative of the Economist: *“] had a line of desirable goods of- fered me by an importer at a proper maarket value. I informed him that I had bought about all that I could well handle for the season, and I inadver- tently dropped the name of the house from whom ][ had purchased. It wasa rival house. When he saw that I would not buy any goods, he asked for an ap- pointment to show some new samples. He came, and among other goods showed me some of the same patterns of which he knew I had a full stock, and he offered them ata price which must have been eonsiderably below cost. He never dreamed that I would buy, but he wished to make me dissatisfied with what I had already bought. I was careful to en- quire how much he could deliver and had him mark prices down forme. He was only too glad to do it, for he was sure I wanted to make a claim on his rival. I gave him such an order that it nearly turned his head gray. I got my goods, for he knew that he could never do another iota of business with the house if he didn’t keep up to his agreement.’’ a He Was a Sufferer Himself. “Of course,”’ said Blifkins, ‘‘l ain’t the man to hesitate fora minute, or com- plain when it comes tohelping those who are in distress, but if you figure it right down, lam a good deal of a flood sufferer myself.’’ ‘You a flood sufferer !’ ‘“‘Well, I should say so.

Pompeii—Pompeii is one of the most pompous, pushing, prosperous places in Gratiot county, located on the T.,S. & M. Railway, between Carson City and Ashley, in one of the very best agricul- tural regions in Michigan. Born fourteen months ago, she now boasts of two ho- tels, a new stave factory running twenty- five hands day and night, one of the best elevators in the country, one drug store, one hardware store, one meat market, one agricultural store, one clothing store, one harness shop, three general stores and several minor concerns, mills, shops, etc., and still more coming. —————_—> + _—_—_ Bank Notes. E. W. Pickett has moved his Exchange Bank, at Wayland, into his new brick building. That is a queer story of E. L. Harper, the wrecker of the Fidelity Bank of Cincinnati. It is to the effect that he has been doing a profitable iron business to the tune of $350,000 a year while serv- ing his sentence in the Ohio Peniten- tiary. Through the efforts of his faith- ful wife, a joint stock company was formed, and, presumably through the collusion of some of the prison officials, Harper was allowed to direct the move- ments of this company by telegraph, thus enabling it to make money when other men the iron business were actually running behind. Itisa striking illustration of what a ‘‘smart’’? man with money can do even when he is dead in the eyes of the law. In the meanwhile, in | the discovery of this little arrangement will be likely to arrest the effort to ob- |tain a pardon for this distinguished criminal. The Largest Income in CADILLAC, June 2° A.

Hoops from the wholesale grocery business, the trade loses an aggressive and devoted ad- herent. As a traveling salesman for eleven years, Mr. Hoops threw into his work such marked individuality that he came to be regarded as the leading gro- cery salesman of the State. His career as a jobber, during the past four years, has been marked by the same aggress- iveness which characterized his work on the road. It is a pleasure to consider that a continuous service for fifteen years has been rewarded by a comfortable competence. ——_—_>-s__——_ Gripsack Brigade.

The Romans, in obtaining silk and other goods from the extreme East at the time of the commencement of the Chris- tian era, found it very convenient to procure a sufficient amount of specie and bullion to exchange for them, for the goods could only be got for eash. Thus, Pliny values the amount annually ex- ported from Rome to India and China, during the first century, at 25,000,000 francs, which would, at the present day, represent something like 150,000,000 francs. Indeed, the producing East slowly absorbed the treasures of the masters of the world, this drain causing the value of money to appreciate more and more in the empire; hence, toward the sixth century it became absolutely imperative to procure the raw material, if not at home, at least, nearer by. China, meanwhile, remained as silent as a sphynx and kept its secret. Its cus- tomhouse regulations prescribed that the silk trade should be confined to the two cities authorized to that effect. All attempus to find out something about the origin of silk remained fruitless, until the year 552, when two Persian monks. attached to the missions in Northern India. offered the Emperor Justinian to proceed to China and there procure the necessary information relating to silk eulture and manufacture. This offer he accepted, and before the year came to a close. the monks had returned with silk concealed in their bamboo, pilgrin’s staffs. At the same time, it is asserted that as early as the previous century a king of Little Bokhara mar- ried a Chinese princess, who introduced the silk worm, so as to be able to wear silks preduced in her adopted country. But. however this may be, the merit of the monks’ devise, alluded to, is not dis- puted. In 553. the first skein of silk was pro- duced in Asia Minor and was obtained from the culture thus imroduced, and thence it spread to Europe with all the greater ease, as it was found that the mulberry tree was indigenous to Asia Minor and Southern Europe. The for- mer, in particular. proved to be admir- ably adapted to this sort of agricultural pursuit, and soon silk from the extreme East would be dispensed with. While it had taken 1.000 years to introduce and accumulate silk on the shores of the Bos- phoros after it had been discovered in China. it took another thousand years transfer its production from the Bos- phoros to the valley of the Rhone. The fact is that Western Europe. during the Merovingian era, was too poor to dress in silk. A few pieces, imported from Oriental countries. sufticed to adorn the altars of churches and thrones of palaces. Cathe- drals in Europe have preserved some of these silks. It was reserved for Mohain- med and his warlike followers popu- larize silk as they advanced from Arabia. In 711. Omar conquered Egypt; soon after. the Iberian peninsula was invaded from Northern Africa, and only at Tours, in 722. the Mussulman hordes were pelled from France by Charles Martel. During the five centuries of spreading Moorish civilization in Spain. at Bagdad and Alexandria, silk quickly attained eminence as an article of dress. In Per- sia and Asia Minor the Arabs bestowed special care upon its culture: a colony of Syrian Arabs raised it to a still more flourishing condition in Andalusia, where it begun to be spun and woven. The mulberry tree was planted on the Northern coast of Africa, at Gabes. and subsequently in Sicily and Spain. The crusades familiarized West- ern. Christian nations with silk, but they were still to poor too make extensive use of it. In 1098. the silk captured at the storm- ing of Antioch by the crusaders was specially laid aside to adorn altars, in Western Europe. In 1140. the Norman pirate, Prince Roger, of Sicily. during a war with the Greeks, brought home cap- tives who introduced the spinning and weaving of silk, after an approved method. into Sicily. Thence the art was carried to Florence and Luceas in Italy: but the merchants of Venice and Genoa, nevertheless. continued importing silk goods from the Orient. Only subsequent cess ty LO To re- Soussa, to the beginning of the fourteenth cen- tury did silk-culture penetrate into France. ——————> -—__—_——_ Legal Status of the Bicycle Rider. From the New York Law Journal. The Supreme Court of Indiana was re- cently called upon to review a non-suit in an action brought to recover damages for being struck down on the sidewalk by a bicycle rider. The trial court had held that bicycling was a form of pedes- trianating. and that the bicyclers had as much right on the sidewalk as any pe- destrian. ‘The appeal from the non-suit was argued in the forenoon. When the courtadjourned for dinner, Judges Coffey and Berkshire started to walk to their hote!, and as they were passing out of the Capitol grounds a clumsy bicycle rider ran into tuem, knocking both down and badiy bruising the former. This practical argument had sucha convincing effect on the minds of the learned judges that they immediately overruled their unrendered decision and filed an opinion setting forth that a person who “rudely and recklessly’? rides a bicycle against a man standing on a sidewalk is responsi- ble for damages for assault and battery. After quoting an Indiana law forbid- ding persons from riding or driving on the sidewalks, the court says: ‘‘If side- walks are exclusively for the use of foot- men, then bicycles, if they are vehicies, must not be ridden along them, since to affirm that sidewalks are exclusively for the use of footmen necessarily implies that they cannot be traveled by bicycles. It would bea palpable contradiction to affirm that footmen have the exclusive right to use the sidewalks and yet con- ceue that persons not traveling as pedes- trians may also rightfully use them. We thinx. nowever. that a bicycle must be regaruce as ® vehicle within the meaning of the taw.’’ ———_—_—__—»-¢+<-__---—- An Avle Little Saleswoman. From the Chicago Mail. I heard a story about a pretty little widow. the other day, which contains a hint to young women who are suddenly thrown upon their own resources. This little woman lost her husband, and in the course of time it became necessary to do something to support herself. After try- ing a good many places she was given a position in a State stgeet dry goods store, with the handkerchief counter as her de- | partment. The first day she was there a, gentleman came along and stopped at! her counter to look at the goods. She | felt that she ought to sell him something, so she went at it energetically, and though the man tried in every way to | elude her, he couldn’t do it, and was finally forced to buy a half-dozen hand- kerchief. When she got her salary at the end of the week, she found a sub- stantial increase over the figure at which she had engaged. She asked the cashier the reason. “Because of a sale you made the first day you came. If you remember, you sold half a dozen handkerchiefs to a gentleman after making a long talk.’’ “Yes, I remember,”’ she said. “That was Mr. Partridge, the pro- prietor of the store. He thought your salary ought to be raised.” This was a good while ago. The lady is happily married again. You may be sure that a girl who can sell goods to the proprietor of the store will not be any too long in getting a husband, and a good one, too. 21» 2—__——_ | Keeping At It.

Grand Rapids: ae £iaaiy the stand you have taken. was a reckless institution, conducted with very little regard to the right | its patrons, itis the Western Union. 1} have suffered the loss of hundreds of dol- lars at its hands—simply as the result oi criminal carelessness—but I would as soon think of suing the Atlantic Ocean as bring an action against the telegraph monopoly. Therein lies the Western Union’s strength—it knows that it is rich and powerful and can usually tire out a person disposed to litigate with it, by a series of appeals from court to court. until the money and patience of the liti- gant are exhausted. Like yourself, I have been surprised at the lack of interest manifested by the local manager whenever called upon to rectify a mistake or trace an error. He invariably treats such matters in the most matter-of-fact manner, as though he was doing a favor, instead of receiving one. Until the Western Union awakens from the lethargy into which it appears to have fallen, and supplants the barnacles by live men, I shall continue to use the telephone and Uncle Sam’s mail service, in preference to trusting to the anti- quated stage coach masquerading under the style of the Western Union Telegraph Co.

There are those who argue that the} granting of bonuses to unmixed evil, advantage. the enterprises is an compensating That attested | any such is not always ease is + by the experience of thus set forth by the Times of that place The policy of Owosso regarding the further extension of her manufacturing industries demands the attention of every one of her citizens. Ten years ago Owosso numbered less than 2,500 people, and was simply a country trading post, with no prospectof outstriping her neigh- bors. A decade has witnessed a mighty transformation. To-day we have a pop- ilation of six or seven thousand and a business exceeding that donein any town of equal size in Michigan. Every piece of property has doubled or trebled in Owosso, value. his result is due to the enter- prise of our citizens in securing manu- facturing industries. Large bonuses have been voted from time to time by our city council to induce capital to lo- cate here. Moreover, at times, the older and better established of our larger manufacturers have received aid from the city, that they might further increase their business. The result has, in nearly every instance, proved _ satisfactory. Should we not continue the plan ? We are led to make the above remarks in view of a proposition from the Owosso Table Co. They have purchased the land between their present location and the railroad, and on this intend to erect a building, 36x96 feet in dimensions, two stories high. This addition will enable them to employ fifty men, instead of twenty, as now. They ask the city to give them $1,000. Robbins & Son are too well Known to Owosso people to re- quire any extended notice, and we can only say that we believe the future pros- perity of the city would be enhanced by voting the proposed bonus.

My friend Bascom, general dealer everything at Z , has been laid up at! home for the greater part of a year, in The Michigan Tradesman in j consequence of a lingering attack of ehronic rheumatism, during which time his chief—and only—clerk, Job Bright, has conducted his little business hon- estly, faithfully and intelligently. The other evening Job came down to Bas- com’s and informed him that sickness at home necessitated his absence for a couple of days or so. and remarked that, as trade was stagnant, he thought it better to lock up than to employ a sub- stilute. to which Bascom assented. ‘“‘But the next morning,’’ said Bascom, ‘“‘T became uneasy. To think that the store, which for years had opened during business closed up, was extremely distasteful to me. So, after a while, I got my crutches | and, despite the protests of my wife, crawled down town and opened up. And} my little experience that day convinced me that a small trader only wants some painful bodily infirmity to convince him that, in proportion to the money earned, he is about the most unreasonably driven human being in any trade or profession. ‘““My first customers were a dozen or more school children after candy, and my gross receipts from ten or twelve painful journeys was exactly eight cents. Then a big, fat girl came in, and, after I had hobbled the entire length of the room, asked if I had any advertising ecards. I had hardly got seated when she re-appeared, and another trip revealed that she wanted an almanac. Then in | about five minutes she occasioned me a | third pilgrimage to ascertain whether I! could furnish her with an empty box. ‘I had hardly got seated, and resumed the perusal of my paper, when a ‘lady put in an appearance with an enquiry for | soap for babies. Upon being in-| formed that I had wanted to| look at some other kinds, and, after So always been hours, was none, she OC- | i cupying my time for half an hour, said | She never used anything but and left me to my reading.

This query, which seems on the face of | it to be a very simple one, is in reality, | when carefully considered, very difficult to answer satisfactorily, inasmuch as the | ferment which we term pepsin, and | which is the digestive principle of the| gastric juice, has never yet been isolated absolutely pure and in the exact condi- tion in which it exists in the gastric se- cretion. Moreover, there have been varying de- grees of success on the part of makers | of this product in manufacturing, from | the pig’s stomach, preparations which | are termed pepsin, or pure pepsin, and subsequently, for convenience in keep- ing, dispensing, prescribing and manip- ulating this product pharmaceutically into various other forms, such as sac- charated pepsin, liquid pepsin, ete. | These preparations, however, have been | shown by comparative tests to differ so| widely in digestive strength, which | should be the chief criterion of their) utility, that a pharmacist is excusable | for being in doubt as to what to dispense | when ‘‘pepsin’’ simply, without specifi- | cation as to brand or variety, is pre-| scribed. There seems little doubt that as long as the present official standards exist, | that pharmacists are justified in dis-| pensing in conformance to them until | they are advanced; but we must confess | that our sympathies are with those who | dispense only the purest and digestively | the strongest pepsin obtainable, and who | influence the character of physicians’ | prescriptions by informing them of the) great variety in the strength of pepsins | and of their ability to supply the best. oo Uses of Soapstone. A writer in a London journal cails at-| tention to the unappreciated us and | preservative qualities of soapstone—a material. he says, which possesses what may be regarded as extraordinary qual-} ities in withstanding atmospheric in-| fluences, those especially which have so much to do with the corrosion of iron and steel, and from experiments made it is said that no other material is capable | of taking hold of the fibre of iron and | steel so readily and firmly as In China, soapstone is largely used for pre- | serving structures builtof sandstone and | other stones liable to crumble from the effect of the atmosphere: and the cover- | ing with powdered soapstone in the form | of paint on some obelisks in that coun- | try, composed of stone liable to atmos- pheric deterioration, has been the means |} of preserving them intact for hundreds | of years. es Lillis. “> The Pottery Trust.

K. V. Kniest in Western Druggist. It is the pride of every modern pharm- acist to be ‘topmost’? in the number of his preseriptions; and to sail gaily, it is necessary to duplicate many preserip- tions which by reason of the customer’s ownership, or the design of the wri would be taken from the pharmacist’s fil ver, were they let go without copying or an increase in number, in the prescription, the pharmacist many below in the number of his prescriptions actual to the number not duplicated or accounted for. It is therefore necessary to copy many prescriptions which otherwise would not cause an inerease to the aggregate. It will be found a great saving of explana- tion to copy the prescription unknown to the customer, unless the pharmacist is previously privileged to do so, beeause the average customer thinks his or her particular prescription is of extraordi- nary value, of which the pharmacist wishes to take possession. There are many different ways of per- fotming this little act, and generally each pharmacist has his ownidea. Some prefer a verbatim copy, regardless of the character, others change the Latin to the English or vernacular, and vice versa. Where the original is written in the correct English or Latin Pharmacopeial out be so titles, then a verbatim copy is the best method. Where the ingredients are in- dicated in the common or vernacular, then the correct English or Latin titles should be used. In many prescriptions and family form- ulas, some ingredients are so titled that they indicate a medicine different from that really wanted; this is often forcibly illustrated in the ammonias. In the copy- ing of such prescriptions, the ingredients should be titled under their correct Eng- lish or Latin pharmacopeeial titles, with the vernacular title opposite in paren- theses, not forgetting, however, to add quotation marks, which will exhibit the article dispensed, and show the mis- nomer. It often proves serviceable to number the original as well as the copy, and the price attached in your individual mark will often be appreciated by some other member of the firm, who may be called upon to refill the same in the event of your absence. Regarding the filling of prescriptions not much is left tosay. The author has used the following method, which offers at all times quick access to some ‘‘back date’’ prescription. Beginning with the first 100 prescrip- tions, pass a very strong piece of twine through their upper right hand corner and attach to it on each side a heavy piece of cardboard a little larger than the prescription. Tie the two ends of the twine loosely against the prescriptions, leaving a few inches slack in the ends. | On the outside of both cardboards write plainly the beginning and closing num- pers, also the beginning and closing dates. Construct each succeeding hun- dred the same, and with the slack ends tie to the preceding hundred. When a | thousand has been reached, place them in a suitable box, recording on one end the beginning and closing number and the same regarding the dates, and then keep the whole at some place convenient to the prescription case. The label should embody the number, name of the patient, name of physician, 'and while the dates may be attached, it is unnecessary where it appears on the prescription, and the number, etc., are plainly written. Whenever the label! printers issue a prescription label of un- sized paper, with a plain, white ground, unruled and devoid of illustrative cuts, otesque types, ete., they will fill a ong felt’? want. In the writing of the rections, where the original is English, one should try to use the same language, word for word, if correctly written. It isa matter of sore regret to the phar- macist to contend with the directions as they often appear on a prescription.

It is based on the proposition that the manu- facturing proprietors of such goods will announce that all parties who in any way advertise their goods at less than retail prices will be refused further supplies, and that if wholesale dealers supply them the wholesale houses will also lose their supply of such goods. It places no bar- rier on the retail purchaser, and he is enabled to meet the low prices of his competitor, but he nor they cannot adver- tise cut rates. The evidence of the break- ing of the agreement is not difficult to procure, and it is believed that it will not be difficult to secure the moral effect of an advance to a more profitable rate of prices. Something should be done toward secur- inga better patronage for druggists from the public for those goods which more properly belong to the business of the druggist than the dry goods dealer or the ladies’ shoe store, and if there can be any method adopted that is honorable and legal which will make business more satisfactory in the pecuniary sense, why not give it a trial? —_——__—_»-——-_——- A Natural Seauence to Trade-Marking Medicaments. That the ultimate tendency of trade- marking medicinal products is to create a public demand for them which can be supplied without recourse to the pharm- acist or the physician, has been frequent- ly pointed out in these columns. A signal illustration of how this method works is afforded by an adver- tisement in a recent issue of the Detroit Free Press. In the column devoted to quack advertisements, such as the fol- lowing—‘‘humors, blotches, sores, seales, crusts, and loss of hair cured;’’ pimples, black heads, chapped and oily skin prevented;’’ ‘aching sides and back, hip, kidney, and uterine pains and weakness relieved in one minute’’— ap- pears this advertisement: DR. KNORR’S ANTIPYRINE AN APPROVED REMEDY FOR Headache, Migraine, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Whooping Cough, Etc. Prescribed by Physicians generally. It is a white powder; dissolves in cold water. To be had at all druggists. All original packages bear Dr. Knorr’s Signaturein Red, and the U. S. Patent Label. Having secured the support of physi- cians and pharmacists, and thus created a demand for antipyrin, the proprietors now seek a wider market, and the physi- cian and pharmacist too late may awake to the fact that they have warmed into life and demand, a remedy which is to be so controlled as to rob them of the patronage they should justly receive. How long will it be now before an- tipyrin will, like quinine, be openly sold by fancy goods dealers and grocers at prices that druggists can not compete with: and how long before pharmacy will become a lost art, and the materia medica be made up of patented com- pounds, with their therapeutics on the label? The solution of this question rests to some extent with the pharmacists. They have itin their power to, at least, dis- courage thisclass of preparations. There are usually others of similar medicinal action, equally efficient therapeutically, and pharmacists can not afford, from any pointof view, to assistin the process of their own undoing. Away. then, with the theories that are so glibly advanced, that monoply of medicaments stimulates invention and advances pharmacy. Let us have open pharmacy, quality the only protection for pharmaceuticals, no secret formule, and with such an era we have no fear that pharmacy will retrograde. On the contrary, relieved from the complications that now embarrass it, it will assume its rightful place among the arts and sci- ences, and its votaries be elevated soci- ally, scientifically and financially. —_—>—2-——_— Settled by the French Academy. A question which must often have pre; sented itself to conscientious druggists has recently been made the subject of a report by a committee of the Paris Aca- demy of Medicine.

Dur- ing the captain’s absence the wife had been treated with jaborandi with the above result. ———___—_—<>> 2 __—_ One Pharmacist for Every Three Phy- sicians. According to a computation made here by the advertising agent of one of the drug houses, there are now in the United States 31,800 pharmacists, or one to every three physicians. The same individual says that one pharmacist in ten makes some decided change every year, i. é., he moves his place of business, sells out, alters his firm name—or dies. The sta- tistics of this record of pharmaceutical metabolism seem to show that one drug- gist is born and two-thirds of a druggist which will probably leave New York by | the Netherlands line about July 18.

Thence they will proeeed to Paris, where a stop of seven or eight. days will be made. Thereafter they | come to England. The trip will extend | over a period of forty days, the total ex- pense will not exceed $150 for each per- son, and the number of the party will not exceed thirty. They will be in Paris at the time of the meeting of the Chemi- eal and Pharmaceutical Congress, it is expected; and if they manage things | properly they will be able to attend the meeting of the British Pharmaceutical Conferencein Newcastle at the beginning | of September. | How She Knew. | A little girl recently said she knew) they were going to have cabbage for} dinner, as she could ‘hear it with her) nose.”’ compounds under its | all Sal rd : z | Mentha Piper.....--+- to dispense dimethyloxyquini- | This | s Ascribed to Jaborandi ro- some Op Camphorate Deodor..
