ARSENIC EATING.
The Effect of the Drug on the Dead and the
Living.
| From the Detroit Evening Journal.
‘ A citizen and a local physician were re-
/eently engaged in conversation in front of
the City Hall. As they stood talking a hand-
somely dressed and attractive woman passed
ed to catch a second glimpse of her. She
was of medinm height and finely proportion-
ed. Her features were perfect, and her eyes,
large and dark, contrasted with indescribable
effect with her pale, delicate but beautiful
complexion. The two gentlemen were for
the moment lost in admiration of the woman,
and did not resume their conversation until
she had disappeared in the crowd.
“What a beautiful woman,” repeated the
citizen.”
“Very,” replied the physician.
“Do you know her?”
°No.”?
“Do you know of her?”
“Well, no more than
me.”
“And that is—”’
“That she is an arsenic-eater !’’
‘How can you tell?”
“By her general appearance. I cannot ex-
plain to you how I tell, without going into
details.”
“Pardon me, but will you enlighten me on
this subject?”
“Arsenic possesses great antiseptic powers.
It.has a marked effect in preserving the body
froin decay. When arsenic is taken, and
it destroys life, if the person lives long
enough for it to pervade’ the entire body, the
remains will continue for an sndefinite
period in a remarkable state-of preservation.
Skins that are intended for stripping have
arsenic rubbed on the flesh side. The habit
of eating arsenic is prevalent in certain por-
tions of Austria. In the city of Vienna it is
a common custom to put arsenie in the food
of horses. It gives them a glossy coat, and
makes them fat and gives them good wind.
It has the same effect on man. The body is
rounded, the éyes are brightened, and the
respiration is improved. But when the hab-
it of arsenic eating is once formed, any irreg-
| ularity in taking it is dangerous, and may
iend fatally. Arsenic eating shortens life.
However, there have been cases where per-
sons, who have been slaves to the habit from
their youth, have remained in good health
at the age of 60, and even older than that.
The practice of arsenic eating, confined to a
small territory at first, is rapidly spreading
all over the world. It is popular among the
demi-monde, and is used by them to enhance
their charms.
what particular line is he “In the debt
line.” ‘In the debt line?” ‘ Yes, he has
contracted about $10,000 worth of debts dur-
ing the last two years. Everybody says he
is very successful at his business.”
It is said that the largest grapevine in the
United States grows on the premises of Mr.
Madden in Pike county, Ga. It is eighteen
years old, is thirty-four inthes in circumfer-
ence at its base, is a quarter of a mile long,
and yields five wagon loads of grapes.
The breaking up of the great Glenn wheat
ranch in California, the largest cultivated
farm in the conntry, will soon take place.
About 15,000 acres, more than one-third of
the ranch, are advertised for sale, and other
farms will shortly be placed on the market.
The cotton-growing region of the South is
rejoicing over the invention of a cotton-pick-
ing machine which successfully discriminates
between the open bolls, green bolls and
blossoms. It harvests cotton at the rate of
two hundred pounds an hour, and promises
to take the place of hand-picking. °
The idols worshipped by the heathen of
Africa and India are nearly all manufactured
in England, and pay a very handsome profit.
It is stated that the commercial value of the
brass and cast-iron gods shipped to heathen
lands far exceeds that of the Bibles, books,
and tracts which reach the same destination.
It is said that one New York produce firm
has: paid an average of $50 a day for a month
at a time for telegrams to Chicago, and the
telegraphic business of five firms with their
Chicago correspondents costs $110,000 a year.
And yet less than half a century ago all the
world’s business was transacted without the
wire.
The cheapest postal service in the world is
that of Japan, where letters are conveyed
all over the entire empire for two seu—that
is about one and two-fifths cents in our mon-
ey. This is the more wonderful as the coun-
try has litttle over one hundred miles of
railway, a small steam marine, and rather
poor roads.
English farmers have been in the habit of
selling their wheat crop as soon as threshed
to get money with which to purehase feed
for stock during the winter. Of late years,
however, the wheat crop has been very poor,
giving asmaller amount of money to invest,
and the losses from disease have been unusu-
ally severe.
A nunber of Boston capitalists have ac-|
; Dutch Guina for aterm of thirty-three years, |
‘and have already begun operations there up- |
(on an extensive scale. Their lease covers,
, 1,000,000 acres, and the quality of the gum |
\is said to be equal to that of the best Kast)
India product.
Baltimore, having more than $20,000,000 |
| invested in oyster packing, and over 30,000 |
| persons engaged in the business, is taking
‘measures to prevent the destruction of the
‘oyster beds in the Chesapeake Bay. It is
| proposed that the period of rest for the oys-
‘ters shall be lengthened and extend from
April 1 until October 1. |
“Well, John,” remarked the thrifty house- |
wife, as she noured the tea with that beauti-
‘ful rise and fall motion she had cultivated |
‘with the tea-pot, “I guess you had better or- |
roasting pigs for $3 and $35.50 each, and)
tripe for six cents a pound. |

“Aw, you can sell me, aw, a blue neeck-
tie, to mateh my eyes, you know?” inquired
an Austin dude in agentleman’s furnishing
store. ‘Don’t know as 1 can, exactly,” re-
plied the salesman, “but I can fit you with
a soft hat to match that head.” Then the
dude withdrew from the store, a crushed
strawberry hue suffusing his effeminate
features.
Hop growers have a strong competition in
hemlock bark. Numberless schooner loads
of this latter material are received in Chi-
cago, and prepared for use in giving lager
beer pungency and color. So long as beer
drinkers are willing to accept bark extract
in place of hops, the cultivation of the latter
must cease to be renumerative. It is diffi-
cult to grow hop vines in competition with
hemlock trees.
A lady living in Glendive, Montana, who,
while on a farm in Ohio, had great exper-
, ience in raising hogs, writes that worms in
the intestines, or parasites in the flesh known
as trichine, may be destroyed by giving the
hogs wood ashes with their dry food or lye
in their swill. She states that the parasites
in swine are always accompanied with an
overabundance of mueus, and that the quan-
tity of it may be greatly reduced by feeding
the animals wood ashes or lye.
The great boom in the hop market last
year, when the price went up from twerty-
five cents per pound to $1.10 caused the
brewers to use substitutes, and instead of
11g pounds of hops to the barrel, they use
six-tenths of a pound. The substitutes are
gentian root, colombo root, chamomile flow-
ers, quassi wood or extract, nux vomica,
aloes, cocculus indicus, licorice paste, ete.
And people who drink these concoctions
sometimes wonder why they do not fee! very
well.
At Astoria, Oregon, all the offal of
salmon used for canning is thrown into
sea at the shore, the canneries being so
the
the
sit-
| uated that the great Pacific Ocean, at the
mouth of the great Colorado River, receives
all the rejected matter. According to the
Portland Oregonian, this seeming wasteful-
ness is a means of constant reproduction of
the salmon. The first operation in the ecan-
neries, he argues, is to relieve the fish of
their entrails, fins, heads and spawn, and
these in almost every instance, are dropped
directly into the river. Much of the spawn,
of course, is eaten by fish or destroyed, but
a goodly share, he thinks, finds lodgment on
the bottom, where in the natural process it
hatches. It is afact well known that the
water about the canneries fairly swarms
with young fish during the summer and fall.
The Value of a Good Clerk.
From the Commercial Enquirer.
A good clerk is a prize too rarely found
and when found, often unappreciated.
When aman has a clerk in whom he can
place confidence he may regard himself as
extremely fortunate. One good clerk will
do more and do it better than two poor ones.
He does not require constant looking after.
When he does anything there is no necessi-
ty for his employer to do it over again. He
will always take pains to treat customers
well and give them exactly whatthey want.
He never acts as if he owns the whole
establishment and a very large part of the
world outside of it. He is polite, unassum-
ing, and anxious to forward. his employer’s
interests. He is sufficiently level-headed to
recognize the fact that the more his employ-
er’s business increases the better is his
own chanee for advancement. With this
end in view he naturally takes aclose per-
sonal interest in the business.
When aman is fortunate enough
such an employe, he would do well to en-
deavor to retain him. If he wants a_ holi-
day once ina while, let him have it. He
will appreciate it and make it up to yon,
to get
| Should heask a favor of you, grant it, as by
so doing you will make him regard you as
his best friend and the bond between you
vill be one of friendship as well as business
interest. Many employers overlook the
fact that a good clerk isa person of some
influence. Ife can aiways bring trade with
him, and need never be at a loss for employ-
ment. If he leave one employer he can
readily obtain a position with another,
probably in the same neighborhood, and
draw trade to his latest employer. When

How to Trave! without a Ticket.
A “Traveller” writes to London Truth:
| der up a barrel of flour in the morning, Mrs. | Perhaps the following story may be of in-
| Thriftless’ folks, over the way, had a barrel} ¢grest to some of your readers, if they
i rolled in to-day, and they won’t be in borrow-
ing trim for some time.”
| “ow is it you can tell such whoppers?”
/asked a caller, addressing the editor of the,
| fish story department. 2
“Well, you see,” re-
| plied the editor, ‘our wife’s name is Anna.” |
| Kitten heads are sufficiently fashionable |
‘in Paris to make the special business of |
| breeding the kittens profitable. It is to be
hoped that the fashion will extend to the
United States just long enough, in point of
time, to clear off the present available stock,
and afford relief to the countless millions of
human non-fashionables who are sadly afflict-
ed by the miserable midnight merriment of
ancient toms and tabbies. Raw materials of
this kind ean be sold very cheap, and bills be
dated ahead to the satisfaction of buyers.
The Territory of Arizona makes a good
showing. According to the report of Gov-
ernor Tuttle its population is not less than
75,000. It was 40,440 in 1880. It is now in
excess of that of Nevada. In the production
‘of gold, silver and copper, it is only second
'to Colorado as a bullion producer, the com-
| bined annual value being nearly $24,000,000.
\In eattle and sheep it is making enormous
progress. The present demand is for artesian
| water, and Congress will be asked to make a

“What has that to do with it?’ “A great
\deal. When we are writing fish stories we |

| should ever be under the necessity of travel-
ing without a ticket: The other day, on the
— Railway, aman gotinto one of the car-
riages and presently began talking to a_fel-
low passenger. After a time he asked the
gentleman whether he had ever heard the
story about how a man traveled without a
ticket. ‘The gentleman said he had not; so
the man asked him to lend him his ticket,
that he might show him how it was done,
and began fiddling. about with it, but pre-
tended that the stury had suddenly slipped
out of his head, but that he would be sure
to remember it soon. After a time the
train got near London, and as the man _ siill
could not remember the story, he returned
the gentleman his ticket. This struck the
gentleman as being very curious, so he
watched the man. When the man got to
the barrier and was asked for his ticket, he
said he had given it up, but the tieket col-
lector denied it, and after a good deal of al-
tereation the man pulled some silver out of
his pocket, and was about to pay his fare
when he suddenly said (producing a small
piece of ticket) that he could prove that he
had given up his ticket, because he remem-
bered playing about with it in the train and
tearing off a small piece and that if the
ticket-collector looked he would find a tiek-
et with the piece torn off. On looking, the
ticket-collector found a ticket with: the
piece torn off, and of course, immediately
| liberal appropriation for boring such wells. | begged the man a thousand pardons.

The Department of Agriculture now re-
ports that cotton will pan out about 86 per
cent. of the yield last year.
The remarkable multiplication and success
of palpable frauds by Chicago jobbers serve
to bring into disrepute the idiotic maxim
maker who said that ‘Tricks in trade never
prosper.”
At a meeting of the Western Nail Asso-
ciation at Pittsburg on the 14th, it was de-
cided that the mills should shut down Dec.
22 and remain so until Feb. 4. This will
have the effect of equalizing the overproduc-
tion and bettering prices.
The diminished consumption of iron and
steel in the United States is indicated by the
fact that for the nine months of the present
year the total imports have been but 540,-
029 tons, against 950,905 tons in the corres-
ponding period of last year.
_A comparison of the amount of national
bank cireulation outstanding Nov. 3 with the
same a year ago, shows that there has been
a contraction of $11,179,323. The amount
- Nov. 3, 1883, was $251,522,408, against
$362,701,731 on Nov. 5, 1882.
A California paper says: Our production
of raisins this year is over 125,000 boxes,
and in three years it bids fair to be 400,000.
Most of this production will be in San Ber-
nardino, Los Angeles and San Diego coun-
ties. The New England immigrants who have
settled in colonies will be the great raisin
makers of California.
The extravagance of strikes is now being
well illustrated at Pittsburg, where window-
glass workers have held out against the man-
ufacturing concerns for two months. The
loss in wages is $210,000, equal to about four
times the difference in wages for a year if
the reduction proposed by the manufacturers
had been accepted. And it is likely that the
strikers will yield at last, after so much dis-
astrous idleness.
The No rthwestern 1 Lumberman, in de-
tailing the events of the life of David Ward,
commonly called “Dr.,” of Detroit, vouch-
safes the opinion than his Michigan and
Wisconsin pine is worth, at current prices,
$15,000,000, and his hardwood and mineral
lands $25,000,000 more. -. 65

WORTHLESS QUOTATIONS,
How the Grand Rapids Daily Papers Mislead
the Business Public.
The daily papers of Grand R tapids all pub-
lish what they are pleased to call a ‘“‘Whole-
sale Market,” although the information im-
parted is of little value, as it is seldom cor-
rect, and consequently cannot be relied upon.
The markets are ostensibly ‘ Corrected
Daily,” and a great show of authenticity is
given them by regularly changing the date
line at the head of the markets, but in most
cases this is the only change made in weeks,
and sometimes months. That this fact may
be made patent to all, but few illustrations
are necessary. For instance, the Times is
still quoting ripe peaches and tomatoes, al-
though neither have been in the market for
amonth. Butter is placed at 16c, whereas
even a fair quality brings 25 per cent. more.
Beans are priced at $1.75, but the jobbers
and commission merchants are getting $2.50
for common stock. The Democrat quotes
potatoes at 70c, when as a matter of fact
they are a drug in the market at about half
that price. Concord grapes and pears have
not been in the market for a fortnight, but
both are still quoted. Celery is quoted at
20e per bunch, although it is active at 50¢
per dozen bunches. Squash is placed at 4c
per pound, but is selling for half that figure.
The Eagle is scarcely less deserving of cen-
sure, while the Leader has always been open
| to a this respect. It is still in the

It had been hoped that the recent financial
flurry would serve to avert further assign-
ments, but the present week opened with
rather more-than its full quota. Phillip E.
Newman «& Co., boot and shoe dealers doing
business here and at Kalamazoo and South
Bend, Ind., tacked a notice on the door Mon-
day announcing an assignment to W. M.
Robinson. L. Creighton, a commission lum-
ber dealer at C adillae, with small assets and
liabilities, failed. Cummer & Rawles, hard-
ware dealers at the same place, made an as-
signment to Peter Haifley, with liabilities
estimated at $37,000, and assets at $42,000.
Rice & Messmore, the private bankers at
Cadillac, made an assignment Monday noon,
after fighting strenuously for a fortnight to
get above water. This will necessarily im-
pell Messmore Bros., the clothing dealers, to
take the same course, and may possibly
bring about the failure of O. S. Whittemore
& Co. Every failure of the kind brings le-
gitimate business down nearer to hard-pan,
and renders the future brighter for all not
seriously affected by them.

Brief Review ot the Leading ‘Lines of Trade.
Dry goods are quiet and collections not so
good as earlier in the season. Groceries are
somewhat depressed, owing to the general
failure of crops, and the consequent ‘ poor”
feeling prevalent among the farming class.
Sugars are a triflle lower and have evidently
touched bottom, Coffees are slightly higher
and firmer. London layer and new Musca-
tel raisins have advanced. Candy is down
1ge, in consequence of the drop in sugars. |
Business continues fair to good, and dealers |
look for a lively holiday trade. Boot and)
shoe and drug jobbers report a booming bus- |
iness.. Hides, pelts and furs are very dull, | PH vrEeR’s
and hides are likely to decline.

Result of Last Week’s Gale—Mlistakes of the
Signal Service.
The northwesterly gale which prevailed
almost steadily on the chain of Great Lakes
last week was the most disastrous to life and
property that has occurred in any gale since
1867. The total number of wrecks was 40,
which includes vessels going ashore, as well
as those which went to pieces, and the total
number of lives lost was 68, so far as known.
Besides these, there are other vessels missing,
or that have not been heard from since the
gale began to blow. The season as.a whole
has been the most disastrous to shipping and
insurance men alike that has ever been known

; due to an unpropitious and stormy season,
but largely to the inexcusable mistakes of
the Signal Service. The latter have missed
every gale of wind in such a way as to en-
courage vessel masters to leave port on the
verge of veritable hurricanes. Such was the
case last week and also last May. To go
further back, they made the same mistake
before-the great gale of Oct. 16, 1880, in the
wake of which followed the terrible disasters
of the Alpena, Wells Burt, and ee the
Akeley.
