He was throw- ing into the seale, against millions of rold, so large a quantity of his life in savage mountains. He was risking the end, that may be sudden with the strong- est, and risking it so long away from almost everything that money could buy. A millionaire, forsooth! And yet I never lived so poorly, even for a day, as he has for the last year—I who have nothing but day’s wages. I never en- dured such privations, such dangers, such lonely hours, such companionship of a beggarly crew of Indians and half-breeds. Too high a price, especially if he has not five years more to live. Too higha price, especially if he has shortened his such heartaches, days by planting malarial deeay in his bones. Too high a price, as his wife loses her bloom by worry in her palace, waiting by the window. Too high a price, as his boy grows up without the imprint of his father’s fashioning hand, without that affection which comes only from association, without that binge of memory of a father revered on which to turn his subsequent life. Too high a price, if the sweet little daughter died last winter and the millionaire can only visit her grave, marked with costly mar- bles. There are some things worth untold millions; for instance, home not yet sear. The deluded wretch who loves money more than youth, health, home and country, who values the means of comforts more than the comforts them- selves, pays too high a price. Emory J.

Bread of Southern Spain and How It is Made. The bread in the South of Spain is delicious; it is as white as snow, close as cake, and yet very light; the flour is the | most admirable, for the wheat is good and pure, and the bread well kneaded. | The way they make this bread, says the Confectioner, is.as follows: From large, long panniers filled with wheat, they take out a handful at atime, sorting it most | carefully and expeditiously, and throw- ing every defective grain into another basket. This done, the wheat is ground between two circular stones, as it was ground in Egypt 2,000 years ago, the requisite rotary motion being given by a blindfolded mule, which passes around and around with untiring patience, a bell being attached to his neck which, as long as he is in movement, tinkles on, and when it stops he is urged to his duty by the shout of ‘‘ar a mula’ from some one within hearing. When ground, the wheat is sifted through three sieves, the last one of these being so fine that only the pure flour can pass through it; this is of a pale apricot color. made in the evening. sufficient water, with a little salt in it, to make into dough; a very small quan- tity of leaven or yeast in one batch of household bread, as in Spain, would last a week for the six or eight donkey loads of bread they send every day from their oven. The dough made, it is put into sacks and carried on the donkey’s back to the oven in the center of the village, to bake it immediately after kneading. On arriving there the dough is divided into portions weighing three pounds each. Two long, narrow wooden tables | on trestles are then placed down the | room, and acurious sight may be seen. | About twenty men, bakers, come in and range themselves on one side table. the nearest, which he begins kneading and knocking about with all his might for about three or four minutes, and then passes it on to his next neighbor, who does the same, and so on successively until all have kneaded it, when it be- comes as soft as new putty and ready for the oven. Of course, as soon as the first baker has handed the first lump over to | his neighbor, another lump is handed him, and so on until the whole quantity | of dough is kneaded by them all. The bakers’ wives and daughters shape the loaves for the oven, and some of them are very small. They are baked imme- diately. 9 A Confidence Game.

He said that he had heard the voice of alady in the room of a drum- mer several times. The landlord inves- tigated it, pounded on the door, and made a good deal of trouble, but found that it was the lady’s own room. Then he tackled the sad man, who said it might be the lady’s room, but that if they would search it they would also find the drummer. Much excitement was caused and money rapidly changed hands. Cur- ious faces of both sexes were seen pro- truding from various doors all along down the hall. Finally, a stern-voiced drummer from St. Louis said this thing had gone far enough and that he knew the lady in question, and that while the charge was substantially correct, it ought to be explained a little. The lady her- self was the drummer. The man with the tremulo in his voice then paid his bill out of the landlord’s money, took several deep draughts at the bar at the landlord’s expense, and hur- ried down to the depot to pay his excess baggage bill, also with the money. because they are not necessary. | VOX humana and the tremulo pulled out on | hotel | in a low} voice that unless things were reformed | landlord’s | i We guarantee this cigar the best $35 cigar on the market.

Cost and Productiveness of Labor. From the American Analyst. The U. S. Commissioner of Labor is preparing to transmit to Congress his first report on the cost of production. The commissioner has been engaged on the report for several months and has obtained some very interesting and valu- able material. The purpose is to ascer- tain all the elements that enter into the cost of production of a manufactured article, and Congress extended the in- quiry to foreign contries, in order to obtain facts bearing upon the tariff ques- tion. The commissioner’s report will embody data that have never been presented in any official report in any country. It will undertake to give with precision not only the elements of cost in the production of an article, but the | efficiency of labor in different countries and in different lines of industry and the relations between efficiency, wages and | manner of living. The labor will be re- duced to the hour basis, and it will be possible to determine, by an examination of the tables, the precise relation between the wages in the United States and European countries and the relation be- tween the work performed in each country for those wages. The cost of management, the cost of repairs, the interest on invested capital, will all be set forth with a fullness which will ad- mit of the most searching comparisons. Where a product is composed of more than one material, each of the raw ma- terials will be followed to its source, and the cost of producing it set forth. The report on iron and steel will be sent to Congress within a few weeks, and those on cotton and wool will follow soon after. The other reports upon which the com- missioner is at work are on glass, linen, silk and lumber. These facts will be of use from a theoretical standpoint and in tariff and industrial discussions. They are so full and precise that they are likely to have a still further use for the practical business man. By comparing the statements for different establish- ments he can learn what others in his line of business are spending for the different elements that enter into their produets, and ean correct his own meth- ods by the study of those of others. The hours of labor, the wages paid, the cost of raw material, the cost of subsidiary materials, the cost of managemennt, will all be set forth and can be studied by the intelligent business man. ——»>- > Repentance Column.

It is a great mistake to suppose that the best work of the world is done by people of great strength and great oppor- tunities. It is unquestionably an advan- tage to have both these things, but neither of them is a necessity to the man who has the spirit and the pluck to achieve great results. Some of the great- est work of our time has been done by men of physical feebleness. No man has left a more distinct impression of himself on this generation than Charles Darwin, and there have been few men who have had to struggle against such prostrating ill health. Darwin was rarely able to work long atatime. He accomplished his great work by having a single aim, and putting every ounce of his foree and every hour of his time into the task which he had set before him. He never seattered his energy, he never wasted an hour, and by steadily keeping at it, in spite of continual ill health and of long intervals of semi-invalidism, he did a great work, and has left the impres- sion upon the world of a man of extra- ordinary energy and working capacity. Success rarely a matter of accident: always a matter of character. The rea- son why so many men fail is that so few is men are willing to pay the price of self denial and hard work which suecess exacts. _ > <— Just as Good, and Cheaper.

It was on a Pennsylvania Railroad train, coming north from the city of Washington. All the passengers but two | in the sleeper had dozed off. The excep- | tions were a young man and a baby. The former was willing to follow the example of the majority, but the latter objected in a loud voice. Its cries awoke the other passengers, and some pretty strong language was heard. The young man got out of his berth and earried the baby up and down the ear, trying to soothe it. But the baby was fretful, and its voice would not be stilled. Finally, a gray-headed man, who was | evidently an old traveler, stuck his head | out from behind the curtains and called | to the young man in a sharp voice: ‘See here, sir, why don’t you take that | child to its mother ? She will be able to} manage it much better than you. It evi- | dently wants its mother.’ ‘Yes, that’s it,’ echoed other irritated | passengers. The young man continued to pace up and down for a moment, then said in a| quiet, strained voice: “Its mother isin the baggage car.” | ‘There was an instantaneous hush. The | gray-headed man stuck his head out into | the aisle. ‘‘Let me take it a while,’’ he said, softly; ‘‘perhaps I can quiet it.”’ —— -2 << A Nickle Mine. On a little branch of the Canadian Pacific Road near Sudbury, Canada, is a} nickle mine that produces more nickle, it is said, than the entire market calls | for. Itis found at adepth of about 300 | feet below the surface, in a layer of oxidized Laurentian rock, characteristic | of that region. As soon as the mineral | is hoisted from the mine, it is broken up | and calcined, or roasted, for the purpose of eliminating the sulphur it contains. When this process is completed, the residuum is conveyed to the smelter. After the dross of the mo!ten metal flows off, the nearly pure nickle and copper are blended together, forming an alloy, | 70 per cent. of whichis nickle and 30 per | cent. copper, which is drawn off at the} base of the furnace and allowed to cool. When cold, the product is shipped to Swansea, Wales and Germany, where the | constituent metals are separated and re- fined by secret processes, known only to the manufacturers and jealously guarded. The output of the mine is stated at 4,000 tons of nickle annually. i om Lakeview Items. Wm. E. Chamley is building an addi- tion to his livery stable. Pierson & Brink have the Globe Hotel well under way of repairs and refurnish- ing. Nathan Osborn has built a large, brick bake oven and will try and run a first- class bakery. D. Phillips, of Greenville, has opened a meat market here—making three now in this village. Mr. Pierce, of Holland, has his little steamboat here on our lake and is putting her in first-class shape. | a Estimate of Men. In spite of pretense and its short-lived sueceess, men are generally valued at what they are worth. Sincerity and honest endeaver will not die unrecog- nized, although their recognition has not been sought or expected. Those whom the world has most greatly honored have | generally thought and cared the least | about its plaudits. Absorbed in their | undertakings and conscious of their own capacities, they have been masters both | of themselves and of their work; and | public esteem, unasked and unsought, has been poured upon them in full meas- ure. a | | | oo In the little world in which children | have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely per- | ceived and so finely felt as injustice. It) may be only small injustice that the | child can be exposed to; nevertheless, he is keenly alive to what is right and fair, however limited his domain. THE MICHIG AN TRADES MAN. py HAMMERS.

Unexpected Death of John H. Mcintyre on Decoration Day. John H. McIntyre and ‘‘Windy’’ Haw- kins traveled together the first four days of last week. Although Melntyre oc- easionally eomplained of feeling poorly, he was in the best of spirits, having a happy salutation for every acquaintance he met. The two travelers parted com- pany Thursday afternoon, Hawkins com- ing home to spend Decoration Day, while MeIntyre went on to Wingleton to fish with his friend, Wm. Dermott, Manager of the W. D. Wing Co., Limited. Dermott was too busy to accompany his friend to the river the next morning, but sent one of his assistants in the store in- stead. After fishing about an _ hour, chest and sat on the bank for a few min- utes to rest. Not getting any relief from the pain, his companion helped him back to the store, where he was made as comfortable as possible on a bed in a | room adjoining the office. A mustard plaster was applied as soon as possible and Dr. Tanner was summoned from Baldwin. The latter arrived about 4 o’clock, when the pain The sick man felt so much better that he called for a glass of water, but) before the ice had cooled the contents of the glass, or the doctor had been able to make more than acursory examination of his patient, a brief succession of con- ivulsive gasps was followed by a sud- den cessation of life. Telegrams had been sent in the mean- time to Lemon & Peters, for whom the deceased traveled, asking that his family be informed of his condition and demise. Mr. Lemon failed to receive the messages until after the last train for Wingleton had departed, when he instructed Mr. Dermott to forward the remains to this city by the first train Saturday morning, with an escort. Mr. Lemon met the re- mains at Kent City and, on their arrival at the West Bridge street depot, about forty traveling men formed in line and escorted them to Durfee’s undertaking rooms, where they were prepared for burial. A meeting of the traveling men was held at Sweet’s Hotel Sunday noon, when Committees on Carriages and Resolutions were appointed and sixty members of the fraternity agreed | Sided.

He subsequently trav- eled for Arthur Meigs & Co., going over to Lemon & Peters when the business of the former was absorbed by the latter. Mr. MeIntyre’s personal characteris- ties were so marked that he was remem- bered wherever he went. He was a con- firmed practical joker and nothing af- forded him more gratification than to be able to play asevere joke ona friend. Unlike most men of such disposition, however, he invariably took a jest on himself in good part. Mr. Lemon spoke very feelingly of the deceased, stating that he considered him a valued sales- | man and a loyal man to his employers.

The law of insurance, while yet ina comparatively embryonic state, is gradu- ally being evolved by the slow process of judicial interpretation. The next gen- eration will probably possess as complete a codification of determined legal princi- ples governing the underwriter’s agree- ment as the present generation enjoys concerning real property or ordinary con- tracts. A great obstacle, however, in the way of speedily settling the yet undetermined principles lies in the reluctance of policy holders to involve themselves in the un- certainties, perplexities and expenses of legal controversy, and the consequent inclination to permit insurance companies and adjusters to bealaw unto themselves and to accept with meek submission whatever these magnates conclude graciously grant. It may be set down as an established rule that the insurance companies will demand everything to which the inexhaustible resources of sophistry will give a color of reason; but sophistry is not law, and the courts, when given the opportunity by a policy holder who has stamina enough to defend his | rights in the judicial arena, will very quickly supplant the cunning sophisms of glib adjusters working for a per cent. of salvage, with sound, healthy legal axioms. The measure of indemnity was the bat- tle ground in the case of the Mansfield Drug Co. vs. the Etna Insurance Co. et al., just decided in the United States Circuit Court of West Tennessee. The plaintiffs had certain insured goods, which had been manufactured by them- selves, destroyed by fire. They con- tended that they were entitled to eollect for these goods that sum of money which it would require to replace them on their shelves after the fire by 3 purchase of them in the market, pre-| cisely the measure of indemnity to be allowed them as to all other goods. The defendants insisted, on the other hand, that they were liable only for the actual cost of the production of the articles burned: that the difference between this | cost and the selling prices represented the ‘*profits,”’ insure such profits. The position of the companies, while, as we shall see, not} tenable, was, nevertheless, very plausi- ble, and we have no doubt that losses have been adjusted upon this basis without controversy. It to note how very thin the claim appears in the light thrown upon it by the logical is reasoning of the eminent jurist who de- | cided the case. “It is conceded,’’ he those medicines “that by if the says, compounded plaintiffs had been found in the stock of | goods burned next door to the plaintiffs, that would be the correet measure of in- | for that merchant, but not for | The | demnity this—for him established who made them. market price of the med- icines may be recovered in the hands of | all other dealers, but, in the hands of the | original druggist who compounded them, the very same words of this policy mean | something else and do not mean that which they are confessed to mean else-— to | and that the policy did not | many | buy anew plant, rent a new house, hire | interesting | where. It seems, then, to be a misfor- tune that one should keep on sale the finished products of his own handiwork, since the insurance policy means a dif- ferent measure of indemnity to him than to others who keep the same products for sale—less for him, more for them.’’ The judge then proceeds to demonstrate the impracticability of determining the actual cost of production, since many elements enter into the calculation not easily divided and apportioned to differ- ent articles manufactured, as interest, insurance, taxes, general expenses, etc., |ete., and then continues: ‘Shall we, |then, introduce this novel measure of | damages by implication into insurance | policies upon any distorted notion of the | principle that it is only indemnity that | we are seeking and that this is full in- ;demnity ? Suppose this should be con- |ceded, who can say that, when all the | lelements of value are hunted up and fairly included in the estimate, it would be less than the market value of the same |product in the hands of the wholesale | dealers and jobbers? It might be more, | for not all products bring always in the |market the cost of production; and, in |the law of economics, production does j/not always cease because this is so. | Now, would the insurance companies | pay more, if, in the given case, for par- | ticular reasons, the cost of production |exceed the market value? If not, why |not, on this new doctrine in insurance jlaw? The insurance companies surely | cannot indemnify with the market price where that is less than the cost of pro- | duction, and with the latter when it is |less than the market price. * * * | Drug establishments are expected to ;compound medicines, and it is a fair im- plication that in terms the policy prom- | ises to pay the cash value of these com- |pounded drugs called ‘medicines,’ as | ‘medicines’ or compounds and not as | drugs, and not the cost of compounding jonly, but the value of the compounded articles. If they had meant the cost of compounding only, the contract should have expressed it explicitly.”’ | Apparently relying upon the opinion expressed in a recently published text | book upon the law of insurance, the jattorneys for the companies laid great | stress upon the point that ‘‘profits’’ are inot insurable, and all that the plaintiffs realized over the cost of production was | *‘profits.’’ |confusion, if not a distortion, | principle. The true explanation of the | principle is ‘‘that the profits a dealer | expects to realize by sales are not in- icluded in the estimate of his insured values, because, when the article burned has been replaced by purchase, the profit to be realized by sale may yet be made, and so he is fully indemnified by the actual cash value to him at the time of the fire, and it would not require for his a sale by him to his customers. But, obviously, it seems to the court, this |/means the profits to be found between the purchasing price, or cost of the value of the same finished article in the hands of the dealer who suffers by fire, and not the profits which lie between the | raw material and the finished product in be he at time a manufacturer and a dealer in the finished article or not. * ithe hands of the same dealer, |the same fire, was under no obligation to resume the compounding of these medicines, | new laborers, ete., in order to replace by actual manufacture, or compounding | these goods, at a less cost than it would | take to buy them in the market, so as to |ease the insurance company on the loss; 'to replace them by purchase in the mar- ket, or, what is equivalent to that process, pay the drug company the money | that would enable them to do that thing.’’ In commenting upon this decision, the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter selects the iextract given below as the gist of the judge’s opinion.

England factories, whose goods he is selling, and carefully notes the wonders and intricacies at- tached to a standard factory. A visit to a factory of this kind lends great con- fidence to our timid salesman, reminding him of the necessity of holding prices firm, and thus bearing the responsibility of his position, in increasing the wages of those toiling in factories getting but a mere pittance for what he would call ex- | acting labor.

One of the most delicate matters the merchant, has to contend with is the varying degrees of farm butter and | the difficulty making prices which | will be satisfactory to all concerned. Rather than contend with the oppo- sition involved in a system of equal | justice to all, the average merchant pays of the same price for grease that he does for | the choicest butter, dairyman thus discouraging the production of inferior stuff. An in- stance of commendable frankness on the | part of a merchant is thus related by the Minneapolis Commercial Bulletin: The merchant other farmer came in and asked him to buy his dairy. ‘‘What will you give me,”’ “Twelve cents a pound.’’ “But you eents a pound for ’s dairy. you offer me only twelve cents ?”’ lt was not an easy position merchant to be placed in. He was facing his best customer—a man who very often paid cash for goods, and, if credit was he asked. asked, paid his bills with but little delay. | He had made the offer of twelve cents, knowing that the farmer did not make as good butter as his neighbor. Should he tell him the reason ? The merchant thought it over a mo- ment. If he declined to give him a rea- son, the farmer would be dissatisfied and | would accuse him of unfairness, and, perhaps, withdraw his patronage alto-| gether. He decided that frankness was the best thing and he said: “You don’t make as good butter as The farmer was disposed to feel a lit- | but the | tle angry at the blunt statement, merchant said: ‘*‘] do not wish to offend you, but true, as I will prove to you, so you have no ground for being offended at what I say. angry, I will tell you why I say so.’ The farmer agreed to the proposition. ‘Your butter is not worked well. You it is : do not work out the buttermilk, and your | sour after | butter becomes rancid and standing awhile. Your neighbor works his butter well and it is always sweet.’’ The farmer did not get mad, but de- cided to heed the merchant’s statement. He went home and the next lot of butter he made was shown to the merchant. ‘There was a very noticeable improve- ment, and improvement has follow d un- til now the farmer makes as good butter as is made in that section. The merehant’s frankness made him a friend, and it also made money for farmer. The Grocery Market. Sugar is higher and the market is some- what giving promise of. still prices in the near future.

The commission merchants of the city /are very bitter against the American Ex- press Co., because of its utter disregard | to the shippers’ interests. One of the commission men was the Saturday trade and had sold all but | five cases at a good margin of profit. | When the train arrived, however, only twelve cases put in an appearance, the excuse of the agent being that the car | was so crowded that the remainder of the shipment had been left behind. It came in late Saturday night, but by Monday |morning the berries were unfit for the for the} | table—a total loss to the shipper. As the Express Co. assumes no liability under such circumstances, the annoyance to shippers and dealers is far beyond the | actual loss involved. > o<._ Butter in a Bad Way. several years, but this year it is in worse condition than ever before.
