Unpopularity is one of the worst diffi-

especially those who are young and in-

take pride in putting themselves in con-

Trade is constantly taking a wider scope,

In the course of business there is much
to disturb the temper of the most ami-
able man. But there are some persons
who look at everything with the true
philosophy of not giving an advantage by
showing their own ill-temper. When a
man has such a control over himself jn
all the relations of business, it certainly
has a powerful influence over his own
affairs and of those who come in contact
with him. Go into any large establish-
ment where there is a man of this kind
in a prominent position, and see the
harmony, energy and contentment which
exist about him.
And observe, in a re-
view of years, that success and popular-
ity in business follow such a condition of
affairs with almost unerring certainty.

CHANGES IN “THE TRADESMAN.”
Agreeable to the wishes of an apparent
majority of THe TRADESMAN’S readers,
the change in form so long under consid-
eration by both proprietors and patrons
has finally been decided upon and the
present shape wil] be maintained until

ment, but with the man.
man in good health and with employ-
| this when he is paid monthly will not do
it when he is paid weekly. He is just
the kind of aman upon whom the so- |
called *‘pluck me’’ and installment stores
prey—stores which encourage a man to
such time as it seems desirable to make |
further changes. The present form will
enable the publishers to increase the
number of pages, as the business of the
paper warrants, with greater facility
than under the old newspaper form, and
will also add to the value of its columns,
in an advertising way, by avoiding the
massing of advertisements so common in
a blanket sheet.
To the reader, the new |
form will be found to be more handy, as |
well as more attractive, and convenient
for reference and preservation. The
change involves an additional expense to
the publishers of about $1,000 a year,
buy without cash, at high prices, and
pay as it suitshis convenience; whereas,
any man of sense would far rather accu-
mulate the money beforehand, because
that is the cheapest way of buying an
article of any kind.
One thing ought to be engraved in the
mind of everyone—that you cannot make
men wise or thrifty or economical by
law. The individual controls his own
actions; and a prudent man will be pru- |
dent, and a fool will be a fool, in spite of |
any law which may be put upon the
statute books of any state.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
The State convention of the P. of L.,
which was held at Flint last week,
plainly showed the inherent weakness of |
| the organization and was the sure fore-
but itis the confident hope of the pro-|
prietors that it will add more than that |
amount to the value of the journal, in |
bership claimed for the organization ex-
the estimation of its patrons.
Another change which has been under
consideration for some time has been the |

merging of the business into a
company under the style of

finally been consummated and with this
issue THE TRADESMAN passes into the
’
hands of the new corporation, having a
paid-up capital stock of 330,000. This
is more of a change in name than in
reality, as the founders and former own-
ers of the paper own a controlling inter-
est in ‘‘The Tradesman Company,’’ the
same editor will continue in charge, and

The report of the financial offizers dis-
closed the fact that the enormous mem-
isted only in the minds of those who
made the claims. While the delegates

ship of 115,000, the receipts of the
Treasurer showed the actual membership
| to be less than 43,000.

observed in the past will be continued in
the future.
Thankful for the patronage accorded

record it has made as a reliable exponent
of business men and business interests,
THE
look forward to a career of increased

usefulness.
A USELESS MEASURE.
An effort is being made to have a law
passed by the New York Legislature,
compelling all incorporated employers of
labor to pay wages ‘‘within six days of
the time when such wages are earned.”’
A prominent member of a workingmen’s
organization expresses the opinion that
such a bill ‘twill mean an increase of
| ternity.
The fact that charges of fraud and em-
were brought against the
principal officers of the order; that the
salaries were cut down to beggarly sums,
on the ground that ‘‘the stealings would
even ’em up;’’ that they scored everyone
for extravagance except themselves; that
the sessions were devoted almost wholly
to aimless talks and wrangles
elements of weakness are a sure indica-
tion that the woof of the fabric is broken |
and that no community of interest still
remains to hold the membership
gether.
And the sooner it is abandoned the
better it will be for all concerned. THE
TRADESMAN favors organization among
the farmers, for the same reason that it
favors unity of action among all classes
of men—protection, elevation and fra-

jection to urge against the

they ought to have it; but THE TRADES-

| dominion, and that rights incapable of |
being acquired can not be transferred. |
Behring Sea is not a closed sea. It is
connected with the Arctic Ocean by a}
strait thirty-six miles wide, and with the
Pacific on the south by many passages,
| the widest of which is broad enough for |
half the navies of the world to ride at
anchor and, at the same time, be out of |
sight of land and of each other.
Such being the state of the question
| viewed from the standpoint of interna- |
| tional laws, Mr. Elliott gives his unqual-
| ified approval to the plan ef Mr. Bayard

JOHN JACOB ASTOR.
Upon few rich men has so much praise
been lavished as from every quarter has
fallen upon the bier of John Jacob Astor.
Nor do the eulogies which have been
pronounced on the dead millionaire ap- |
pear to be the perfunctory utterances of
| the press with regard te one whose im-
portance was chiefly dune to the control
of immense wealth, for from very dif-
ferent classes and conditions of men and
from every quarter, there is nothing but
praise.
The Astor furnishes one of the |
few marked instances in American biog-
raphy in which a family that has been
made distinguished and famous by some |
clan

ened and in a few generations died out.
TUBN ABOUT FAIR PLAY.
The Marshall Statesman notes the fol- |
lowing:
We understand the P. of I. of North |
Marshall have arranged to purchase their |
dry goods, groceries, clothing, hardware,
etc., in Chicago, and that James B.
Laing, who lives on the H. L. Day farm,
will act as distributing agent.
The quickest way to kill such a craze |
is to let the farmers who do their trading
in Chicago find a market there for their
products, also. The relations of the mer- |
chant and farmer should be reciprocal,
and when either one goes out of the way |
to make them one-sided, their interests |
are not identical and the one is under no |
obligations to the other.

Nothing insures more confidence in
tradethan prompt pay. Theman who pays
promptly is always a welcome customer.
His trade is sought after. Nobody can
buy at any better figure than he. Prompt
Pay is the best business man and makes
the most money. He always knows
| where he stands; his head is level, conse-
quently he aims to collect just as promptly
as he pays. Slow Pay, on the other hand,
is looked upon as asortof necessary evil.
His trade is wanted, because he pays
after a while at any rate. He is really
better than no customer at all. No one
enjoys doing business with him, how-
ever, and would not if he could get all
the Prompt Pays he wanted. Sifted down
very fine, Slow Pay is really doing busi-
ness as long as he can on other people’s
money. Let every young man in the
trade understand fully the position in
which he will be catalogued among busi-
ness men if he decides to be a slow pay
customer.
It has come to pass in the patent bus-
|iness that a patent costs more than it
comes to, unless it covers some matter of
great importance, like the telephone, the

iIt must be of undoubted priority and
| must be backed by great capital in order
really: to protect the article for which
protection is sought. Again, it takes a
year’s time to obtain a patent, and it has
been decided that it is anybody’s prop-
erty until the patent is actually granted.
In the rush of our modern life, and owing
ito our desire for constant change, the
article sought to be patented may have
outlived its purpose within a year. The
government should not grant a patent
| which is at all doubtful, but when once
granted, the power granting it should
protect it. It is not right that a poor
man should be put to the expense of lit-
igation which may result in his patent
being lost, and his business being ruined,
when he was basing his action on letters

good faith. Let the government grant
only such patents as it is willing to de-

Swedish Inventions in the Dairy Line.*
The different stages of this world’s
progress and existence, even from the
beginning of time, have been character-
ized by the spirit of invention. The
man who first fashioned a rude stone axe
was the greatest benefactor of his fel-
low-man of his time, for he introduced a
newer and higher civilization, upon
which we look downward and backward
as the Stone Age. The man who first
fashioned a bronze sword must have
been considered a god by his fellows, so
great was the improvement of the bronze
weapon over that of stone; but the first,
rude, imperfect bronze weapon was the
beginning of a still higher era of civil-
ization, and the inventive artist who first
made a bronze sword was in his time and
to his people a public benefactor. While
we are too apt to underrate the import-
ance of these earlier inventions, yet they
prove that man has been an inventive |
animal since his existence. It is a long
stride in the material prosperity of the
world from the Stone Age and the Bronze
Age, of whose inventions no protecting
patent office has preserved to us the
records, to this the Age of Steam and |
Electricity, when inventions crowd each
other into existence with such unseemly
haste that the present century deserves |

the telegraph, to say nothing of the tel-
ephone, typewriter and electric light. |
The inventions of the present time are |
so numerous, so great and remarkable, |
that they have actually ceased to be re- |
markable. The inventive genius of the
citizen of this great, broad, progressive
country is so ample for our needs, work-
ing as it were miracles before we have
felt the first throb of expectation, much
less the pangs of need in that particular
direction, that we are too prone to keep
our eyes turned inward rather than watch
as we should the people of other coun-
tries.
And, perhaps, we are right, for the in-
ventions that have had their birth iu this
country and have been given to the
world, making life pleasanter, men bet-
ter and nations happier, are a sufficient
excuse, if excuse were needed, for our
existence. It was needed a Boston, with
its Boston Common, to provide a field for
a Franklin, in which, with his kite, to
capture the lightning, and to-day elec-
tricity is all around us. Given a John
Eriesson, it was needed an America as a
condition to the production of a Monitor;
and it is the country that could produce
an Ericsson that the ‘‘cute Yankee”
must watch with a jealous eye, or he
will lose his prestige and be forgotten by
the surprises to the world of which
Sweden is capable.
When the statement is made that the
Swedes are an inventive people, how few
there are, at least in America, prepared
to accept the statement without at least
a grain of suspicion; yet the statement is
true. The Monitor and the screw pro-
pellor, now so common, are the results
of the great Ericsson’s genius. These
are the greatest and most important of
inventions, kut in all the range of inven-
tions down to the most unimportant of
trifles the Swede has a foremost place.
When we come to the dairy industry, our
Swedish friends have literally ‘‘earried
coals to Neweastle’’ in furnishing us with
improved methods and labor saving appli-
ances. While our inventors have given
us innumerable forms of churns—good,
bad and indifferent, pans of all possible
varieties for setting milk, and butter
packages too numerous to mention, our
Swedish friends have aimed at the dis-
covery of hidden principles and endeay-

been of equal importance to the dairy
industry, certainly none that I now recall
exceeds centrifugal separators, and, while
that invention is yet a child in swaddling
cloths, it is superannuated.

heretofore this had no other use than as
food for calves and swine, and as such a
value, under the most favorable circum-
let dairymen judge
stances, of but about two cents per gal- |
lon. But our Swedish friends want
more, and they handle it not asa refuse
product, but as a wealth producer.
This process is to take a portion of
this skim milk and curd it, as for skim
milk cheese, but at a higher temperature |
and witha larger amount of rennet to
make the precipitation more complete. |
These curds are then put in a common
cheese press and pressed, but at a much
greater pressure than for cheese, and the
product is dried and ground, making
what the inventor has called ‘‘caseine.”’
This caseine, containing a very high
ingredient in feeding eakes for cattle,
horses, dogs and poultry.
By mixing a small percentage of this |
nitrogenous caseine with cheaper kinds |
of grain—tmilling offals—a valuable feed- |

The Pharmacist’s Toast.
May his occupation never become a
drug in the market, as long as he sticks,
like his own plasters, to business! May
he never be bruised in the mortar of ad-
Mr. Pestle’s Trials.
He was the slickest man I ever saw—
slick in his dress, slick in his manners
and slick in his talk. He came into my
store oneevening, about two weeks ago—
| came in bowing and smiling, shook hands
| with me, floated into a chair, lit a cigar
i and
said—well, I don’t know exactly
| what he did say, but at the end of an
| hour he shook, hands again and bowed
;and smiled himself out, carrying in his
| pocket an order from me for a new press-
ure percolator and still, which were
going to revolutionize my methods of
business and greatly increase my profits.
Long after he had gone, I sat thinking
over what he had said and finally con-
been an

may his rise in his profession be as accu-

May his career be as unsullied as dis-
tilled water and as smooth and pleasant
as pure Narbonne honey! May his suc-
cess neyer be alloyed by a mixture of ill-
luck or atineture of regret! May his
counter prove the crucible whereby he
transmutes human ailments into precious
metal and precipitates the golden deposit
into his own pocket! May he never be
called upon to swallow the bitter pill of
cruel spirit of enmity! Should fickle For-
tune ever refuse him her smiles, may he
find an antidote in the soothing opiate of
woman’s love, be strengthened by the

could smile as he did and so warmly

his heart.

value of this product as used for these
purposes. From my own observations I
have no doubt of the importance of this
process. I believe it is to becomea great
factor in the dairying industry. In re-
gard to the question which all dairymen
will ask first—what is the profit?—I will
say, three gallons of skim milk will pro-
duce one pound{of ‘‘Caseine”’ and three
pounds of ‘‘Lactoserin.’’ The manufac-
turers of feeding cakes in Sweden pay
4 cents per pound for the ‘*Caseine,’’ and
cocoa manufacturers pay 5 cents
pound for the ‘‘Lactoserin,’? making 19
cents for three gallons, or 614 cents a
gallon for a raw material which I ques-
tion has hitherto been worth to exceed 2
cents per gallon. While lam unable to

What Puzzles the Men.
The man who wants to dress well and |
ean afford to pay good prices for his |
clothes has always more trouble with his
neckties and his shirts than any other |
article of his apparel. He pays his
shoemaker $9 a pair for his shoes, and
that tradesman sees to it that his custom- |
er’s feet are trimly and comfortably
booted. He goes to the hatter’s. pays 35
for the latest style Dunlap or Knox hat
and walks away. knowing that he has}
bought the best thing obtainable. He
strolls into the tailor’s where his meas-
ure is, selects a piece of cloth that strikes
his fancy and thinks no more about it |

Soda Fountains as Fire Seuitinayeeiieie.
Pharmacists who carry on work and |
store inflammable material in the cellar
should not forget that soda fountains can
be made to serve as excellent fire extin-
guishers by extending a line of gas pipe
through the entire length of the cellar
and to adjacent rooms, with suitable
short hose and nozzle connections; also
that, in the absence of such pipe connec- |
tions, two strong workmen can easily |
carry asmall steel fountain to a point
from which its contents can be emptied
on the fire.

THE LUCKY PENNY.
Some of the Peculiarities of Carriers of
Mascots.
The cherished preservation of odd or
particular coins as pocket-pieces is an
old and harmless sort of idolatry fre-
quently indulged in by a large percent-
age of humanity. Such souvenirs often
possess intrinsic value as well as leg-
endary importance, but, whether repre-
sented by a.broad piece of gold or a bat-
tered copper token, all have associations
or little histories of peculiar interest to
their owners. When these treasures are
under inspection in a social way, remarks
of the following tenor are frequently
heard :
“This is the first bit of silver I earned
when I left home.”’
“YT found this half-penny near Shakes-
peare’s tomb.’’
‘Daniel Webster gave that Spanish
quarter to my father when he was a boy
for hoiding his horse.’’
‘*Here,’”’? said a man noted for his un-
thrift, ‘‘is the only money I ever saved,
and I wouldn’t have saved that were it
not made of German silver.”’
It is acustom for many kind old per-
sons to say, when tendering a bright
piece of silver or gold to an emigrating
lad orlass: ‘‘Keep this in your pocket
and you’ll always have money.”’
The present and injunction are, per-
haps, intended for a practical suggestion
of thrift, although in most cases the les-
son is likely to be disregarded. Few
people possess the quality of economy to
an extent that will allow them to join
Shylock in his boast of ability to make
coins breed.
A large number of these mementos
struggle into the hands of money-
changers whose locations give them
daily opportunity of dealing with emi-
grant arrivals. While speaking of this
incident in the business, one broker said:
“It used to give me a pang when some
poor fellow or woman would unwrap a
time-smoothened piece of foreign money,
or remove a perforated one from achain or
faded strip of ribbon, and tearfully offer
it for sale or exchange. But, one soon
loses sentiment in this business, and, in
a matter-of-fact way,
as you see heaped in that tray.
after
keepsakes could be
prosperity have returned
time to see if their
identified aud recovered, but the crucible |
of the assay office had generally put them
beyond hope.’’
Sometimes a special piece of money is
kept sight of with almost religious inter-
est. Instances are known where pawn-
brokers have made advances often enough
on a revered coin to make the interest
exceed its nominal value many times
over. It is a case of indescribable
horror when the owner of a metallic
‘mascot?’ or prized talisman has paid it
away in some unguarded moment. Hal-
lowed heirlooms have been thus ruth-
lessly swept into the coffers of an un-
sentimental railroad or more profane
tills. This risk is always likely to pre-
vail, regardless of the many ways of
safely storing such _ precious things.
Nine out of ten of the devotees of these
little gods would decline the use of the
safe-deposit boxes or bank vaults, be-
lieving, as they do, that the luck or
eharm chances of the object only become
potent by personal contact.

John B. Beavis Taken to Kalamazoo. |
From the Pentwater News.
Peter Fish. of Chicago, had plenty of |
B. Beavis, |
money and his friend, John
had plenty of experience, and about two
years ago they concluded to
two and engage in the lumbering
ness near Walkerville.
000 and Beavis his time.
of the articles the copartnership was to
expire Jan. 1,1890. Mr. Beavis com-
menced the business; timber was pur-
chased, a mill erected and the manufact-
ure of lumber commenced. A farm was
bought and improved. Finally, in the
course of time, the $20,000 run short,
and $10,000 more was borrowed by the
firm, a bonus of $250 being given.
Beavis purchased land, taking the title
in his and Fish’s name. He _ subse-
quently sold his undivided half, reserv-
ing the timber upon it, and took a mort-
gage back, which he assigned to his wife.
Fish never received anything. The
lumber was undisposed of, and the prop-
erty of the concern was worth about $20,-
000. Fish was ealled upon and was
obliged to pay the $10,000 borrowed.
Thinking that Beavis was wronging him,
he filed a bill in chancery and made ap-
plication to Judge at chambers, for the
appointment of a receiver. Answer was
filed by Beavis, and the appointment of
a receiver was refused by the court. on
the ground that the court had no power
to appoint at chambers. In the mean-
time, Mr. Beavis has been taken insane
and removed by his friends to Kalamazoo |
for treatment.

Flint Daily News, Feb. 27: ‘‘A phy-
sician of this city, who lodges at one of
the hostelries where a large delegation
of Patrons of Industry are holding forth, |
had a peculiar dream along toward morn-
ing. It was to the effect that a mule was
raising Cain with his features. When
he awoke, he heard a great hubbub in an
adjoining room. His expectation of
finding the room full of mules was let
down considerably when he found that it
was only about adozen P.’s of I. prac-
ticing the speeches which they were to
spring on the convention. They had
arisen at5o’clock and were pitching into
capital and labor at a terrible rate.”’
——~. >
The P. of I. on the Wrong Track.
From the Detroit News.
The Patron of Industry knows some-|
thing is wrong. His transactions are}
generally with the village merchant. It
is with him he trades his produce for
necessaries. It is the merchant who/|
seemingly gets so much and gives so lit-
tle. Sosome of the Patrons have resolved
to cut the claws of the ‘‘rapacious’’ coun-
try merchant. They will only give him
amargin of 10 per cent. for his goods. |
Thus the farmer will get more, the others
will get less, and an equilibrium will be
established !°
Fiddlesticks ! How many country mer-
chants are rolling in wealth ? Isn’t their
lot, as a matter of fact, nearly as hard as
that of the granger? Isn’t their seeming
prosperity mainly asham? If the Pat-
rons of Industry could see the ledger
accounts of the country merchants they
deal with; if they could appreciate their
worry and anxiety, their animosity would
often be turned to pity, and they would
look
enemies.
