TOWER & CHAPLIN, General Collectors, 16 Houseman Block - Grand Rapids THE BUTTON BUSINESS. Views of a Man Who Knows All About It. From the Shoe and Leather Review. The Review representative was talking with the biggest button man in the country. He isa Yankee, keen, bright, and incisive. He knows so much about buttons that he did not know where to begin. “Jf you talk about buttons for clothing,” he said, ‘the fabries are silk, twist, serge, ete. The buttons used on clothing and underwear are largely composed of celluloid, bone, paper, rubber, etc.” “How many buttons are yearly imported into America ?” “Tf you mean by that to ask me as to the value, I can say that the importation of fine buttons will amount to not less than $750,- 000 a year. These are mostly for dress goods and are what we call wrought buttons. Of this quality of buttons at least $506,000 worth are made in this country. Of hard buttons now made in this country it is not too much to say that half a million dollars are annually invested at a profit. There is one class of button, used in children’s cloth- ing and in the shoe trade, which represents annually not less than $2,000,000. “What is the latest in the style of buttons ?” “A new article is being placed on the mar- ket formed of solid leather. Before we talk about that, let me say that the silk and twist buttons are made principally in New York and Massachusetts. The hard buttons are manufactured in New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The American buttons made for clothing are manufactured in Massachusetts. The leather button is manufactured solely in Provi- dence, R. 1.” “In what place are the most buttons made?” “In Attleboro, Mass. In Williamsburg, N. J., they make a silk mohair-covered button; In Waterbury, Conn., a hard, brass, celluloid and rubber button. The fancy me- tallic dress buttons, used principally in ladies’ trimmings, are made in York State and Rhode Island.” ‘What is the cheapest button made?” “The shoe button.” ‘‘Are they imported ?” “ Yes, to the tune of half a million dolars a year.” : “Where do they come from ?” “Principally from, Germany. They are made there and sold for fifty cents a great gross—think of that, 1,728 buttons for half a dollar.” “Can’t the Americans compete?” “Yes, and they do. In three factories they turn out about $2,000,000 yearly. These buttons are made from pulp and a combina- tion of straw and clay. The clay is Japanned. That is the Yankee way of beating foreign importation.” “Ts the manufacture of the eye of a but- ton a separate industry ?” “Yes; I know of one factory where sev- eral tons of brass and iron are used monthly for this portion of the button. Of the eye makers, a Waterbury, Conn., company is the biggest. They use ten tons of brass per month.” “Why cannot America make as fine a button as is made abroad ?” ‘“‘ Of late we have been doing it; but it is this way: The feature of an imported button is its covering. Our manufacturers are buy- ing the covering over there by the yard. They then take scrap tin, press it into the form required to make the button-top and bottom and cover it with the imported cloth. This lessens the cost, as the serap tin which they utilize was heretofore thrown away. It may surprise you to know that the greater proportion of buttons used for pantaloons are now made from refuse tin and iron. This comes from tinners and stove factories. The best quality of button made for clothing is what is technically called ‘high brass.’” ‘What about fancy buttons ?” “Those manufactured here are made from a low grade of brass and colored like jew- elry. They are principally wrought into form by hand. ‘Thus far we have said nothing about the porcelain buttons which are so largely used on shirts and drawers. They are principally made in Connecticut and Massachusetts. The rubber button, used largely in gentleman’s clothing, forms a big share of the button contingent. There is still another button made of leather, largely employed by upholsterer, carriage-maker, saddlery, and harness trade. It is simple, durable and strong. It is made from the scrap of sole leather which, heretofore, boot and shoe makers have either thrown away or consumed by fire. You will be surprised when I tell you that this section of industry | has already been worked up to a very im- portant point. There are already on the market upwards of 800 varieties and styles of leather buttons. Everything is imitated in leather. One style in particular, about six times as large as the leather button made tor ladies’ kid gloves, is used by the million for interior decoration. The Wagner and Pull- man Palace Car companies order them by the hogshead, and there were several hogs- heads used in the interior decoration of one New York opera house.” “What about the cost of these buttons ?” “They are cheaper than any ever manu- factured, because the material employed has GRAND RAPIDS. MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1884. | heretofore been deemed of no value. The | makers have just filled a novel order from Tiffiany & Co., jewelers, of New York. That firm makes a handsome fancy box which has always had legs of turned-wood, put on with glue. They have just ordered 3,000,000 knobs of leather, with a rounding or oval top, which are perfectly noiseless, and will not scratch or abrade anything with which they come in contact. As you prob- ably know, sole leather is the hardest of all leathers. It is increased in hardness in the course of manufacture. The leather is cut into small pieces, and the eye or nail forced into it while in a moist or pliable state. When put under pressure and allowed to dry, it becomes one of the hardest materials. You know that paper, in the form of car wheels, will take the best steel edge off a tool. Leather can be made as hard “as the ear wheel. The button, before being placed on the market, was subjected to a 3,000 pound pressure.” ‘Tow do you stamp it out?” “Not by one, two, or three blows. It is coaxed down into shape by a series of pres- sure. First, twenty-five pounds, then fifty, then 200, then 600, and 3,200 pounds next. Leather must be worked gradually, and so the last ‘lick’ represents a strength of five- horse power.” ‘““What is there new in the line of buttons?” “It happens to be my own invention, and is made of wood pulp.” “ But wood pulp is nothing new.” “Yes, and no. They say paper is made of wood pulp. It is not true, for linen, cotton, and vegetable substances are mixed. The button of which I speak is made of wood pulp pure and simple—wood in its native state without the addition of foreign substances.” —<__?<___—- The Ubiquitous Drummer as an Object of Interest. France B. Wilkie in the Chicago Times. At the outset of my journey I was a good deal surprised when, after registering at the hotel, I would be asked, “‘Do you wish a sample-room?” My education led to the conclusion that a sample-room is a place de- voted to mixing and drinking cock-tails in the front room, and playing auction-pitch in the back-room. Hence my surprise to be asked if I wished a sample-room; and it was only after several experiences of the kind that I began to learn what a sample-room is in the country places. It is a room in which the drummer displays the goods which he sells on sample, and, hence is something which is entirely consistent with the morals and professions of a community which per- mits no dalliance with alcoholic temptations. It is in the direction of the extension of the sale of goods that the railway has been a potent infiuence. Generally during my travels the percentage of passengers on a train was made up of “traveling men,” as they speak of themselves, and in many cases this class constituted a majority of those who occupied the sleepers, and filled the forward car with the fumes of tobacco smoke. Asa rule, at the hotels, of ten pas- sengers who registered at least eight belong- ed to the drummers’ brigade. These men are the vital elements which one encounters in a journey anywhere in almost any state in the West. They atford to the ordinary traveler an agreeable variety. They are all young, intelligent in face, cos- mopolitan in appearance, good-humored, ac- tive as cats, and self-possessed to an incred- ible extent. They have the serenity of a brickbat; nothing disturbs them; they are equally at home in the Palmer House, or the cheapest “tavern” at some cross-roads station. ’ The existence of these professionals is due to the railway. They are carried everywhere, and they take a species of civilization with them. They have made napkins known and sucured their popularity. They keep in a delicious flutter the virginal hearts of the girl-waiters at the hotels, ana in this are in- troducing the gentler sentiments in the re- moter areas of settlement. They are mis- sionaries who distribute the gospel of jollity, cheek, audacity, good humor, sociability, and good fellowship in every direction. They advance civilization; they accomplish as much in this line ina twelvemonth as formerly was accomplished in a score of years. What the Methodist circuit rider is to the frontier in religion, the commercial trav- eler is in business, trade, and social mat- ters, Both have good appetites, and have a liking for fried chicken and other of the good things which gratify the physical de- mands of full-blooded, energetic, virile men. —_—__—_+>___ Different. “Well, I’m glad this measly election ex- citement is over at last.” “How’s that?” “Why, the turmoil was enough to drive one crazy.” “Ha!

Wilkie in the Chicago Times. | There is one thing which has hitherto stubbornly refused to yield to the softening | and civilizing influences of the railway, | and that is the beefsteak of the average | éeuntry hotel and the railway eating-house. | It seems to be an institution which defies) time, and which is as full ef wiry tendons | and invincible muscle as ever. There must | be some secret possessed by those who have the getting up of the beefsteak served at the country hotel. Before the steak is cooked it can be eut with an ax; but | after it has once passed through the hands of the cook it turns the edge of a knife, and defies mastication. One would think that in place of serving up this article as an | edible, it would be more profitable, and cer- tainly more appropriate, to utilize it in some other direction. If there be a change needed in the character of the material in use for buffers and springs on cars, beef prepared in the manner in yogue in the localities referred to would admirably an- swer the demands of this needed improve- ment. 1 have never yet drawn my knife savagely but vainly over one of these cuirassed beefsteaks without wondering how in the werld the hardening is done; and how it is possible for a simple person by the aid of only a little fire to thus, in a moment, transform a bit of beef into adamant. There is another thing which the railway, with all its civilizing influences, has not been able to materially modify, and that is the waiter-girl system in use in all the country hotels and eating-houses. To some travelers the system is perhaps a blessing, but to an elderly, and especially a bald- headed gentleman, it is an indescribable and remediless misfortune. He is the last to be waited on, while the dudish drummer is carefully, quickly, and tenderly cared for. The elderly person, with a shining caput, is lucky if be manages to get a bite hefore the “All aboard!” of the conductor breaks up the symposium. When one of these females does finally condescend to notice the patient old party who is waiting humbly to be served, she comes over with a frown, as if indignant that fate should require her to give any time to any less attractive mortal than the smiling drummer. She flings at him in a spiteful tone, and with the rapidity of a flash, a single word of several dozen syllables, which, in response to repeated re- spectful inquiries, she finally resolves into “Beefsteak, corned-beef hash, pork chops, ete.,”” meanwhile keeping an eye on a tray- eler for a bag-house on the opposite side of the table. When the old person is helped, the napkin, butter, sugar, milk, and a few other articles are always left out, and then commences a season of trouble for the elderly guest. He looks up respectfully, and finally succeeds, after some difficulty, in catching the eye of the young lady who has waited on him, whereupon she responds with a virtuously indignant glance, as if saying: ‘You old reprobate! You can’t play any tricks on me! I’m no such person!” It is a long time before he can induce her coy nature to entertain the thought that it is a spoon he wants instead of her virgin affections; and even then she brings the re- quired object reluctantly, as if she were not entirely convinced that the intentions of the venerable party could be honorable. The most of these shy young damsels are from 30 to 50 years of age, and are gen- erally wearers of number twelve boots, men’s size, and who have fists like a heavy- weight prize-fighter. Few of them tip the scales at less than two hundred pounds, and the majority of them are Built as if for Greco-Roman wrestlers, or the tossing of cannon-balls and the shouldering c* colts in a cireus. In view of these facts, o.. readily sees why they are so sensitive and timid when in the presence of their common enemy, man. <9 Dishonest Trade Methods. Honest competition is of public benefit, while on the other hand deceptive practices to attract trade are an evil. An upright dealer remarked recently: ‘I found I was losing a good customer and one day meeting him inquired the cause. The customer re- plied: ‘I buy cheaper from your neighbor,’ aud. taking out a pocket rule, he said: ‘I paid you 65 cents for this and I buy the same article for 30 cents from the other store.’ ” The merchant was astonished and asked him to bring his pass-book of entries made for goods at the other establishment to verify the price. This was done, and in looking over the items the next charge to that of pocket rule was for an article 50 per cent. at least above the market price. This species of overcharge was noticed at frequent inter- vals and the customer soon found that he was being cheated and at once closed his run- ning account and returned to the old store. The dishonesty consisted in selling a few ar- ticles below valve to attract the customer and then more than make up the difference through overcharges on other goods. A general merchant not long ago was in- duced by*a salesman who had been dis- charged from his former situation to buy a bill in another house where he was employ- ed. The bill amounted to near $3,000, and NO. 61. included twenty-five barrels of sugar. On in- vestigation it was found that eleven barrels of a poorer grade had been substituted in place of the quality purchased, but as the bill had been paid the merchant sustained the loss. It was the low price of the sugar that had sold the bill, and the grocer had practiced a deliberate cheat. The merchant returned to his former house when again on the market. A retail dry goods merchant said recently: “Tam going back to my old house to make my purchases this autumn. I was induced to leave it last spring through lower prices of- fered me in another house for calicoes and muslins. I found in examining my goods on their arrival at my store that 1 paid more for my notions, hosiery and dress goods than I ought to have done, and that deception had been practiced on me. I swallowed the bait on the ealicoes and domestics, and they hooked me on the remainder of the bill.” A subscriber closes his letter to us this week as follows: ‘We have seventeen well- filled grocery stores in our town, and in or- der to keep a good share of trade, prices are eut very low, and sometimes disagreeable tricks are brought to bear to steal a customer . from another store; this, 1 suppose, is the rule all over.”’ He is not far from the truth, as this mode of unfair competition is too prev- alent. In regard to cutting prices a merchant has an undoubted right to set a price on any ar- ticle in his store; if, however, through the eut price he unduly advances the valte on other articles sold to a customer he at once practices fraud and deception. After gain- ing the confidence of the buyer through the low price for a given article, he turns round, deceives and defrauds him through the extra cost placed on other goods which more than makes up the loss occasioned by the low val- ue on the first article sold. After all, trickery in trade does not pay in the longrun. Exposure is certain, with the zonsequent loss of custom. Common every- day honesty is the most successful compet- itor in common every-day business. -o<_—— PD. E.

A well-known furniture traveler says that the way a Western town is built is about as follows: A name is given to the locality, a shanty is built, a newspaper started and a postoffice established.

Wuzburg, John Peck, C. P. Bigelow, O. H. Richmond, J.S. Cowin, Isaac Watts, H. B. Fairchild, M. B. Kimm, R. A. Schouten, Wm. L. White, Wm. E. White, L. M. Herrendeen, Theo. Kemink and Frank H. Escott. Chairman Wurzburg presided and Secretary Escott wielded the pen. The constitution and by-laws were presented for signature, and those present attached their autographs to the document. The names of Wm. H. Van Leeuwen and A. C. Bauer were also subscribed by proxy. The election of officers being next in order, Mr. Fairchild presented the name of Mr. Wurzburg, referring to his connection with the drug trade of the city for the past twenty-four years, and to the fact that he deserved the election as a compliment to his services tothe trade. The nomination was seconded by Mr. Watts, who declared that the society wanted a man for president who would be representative of the business as well as the professtonal interests of the drug trade. Mr. Wurzburg nominated Dr Bigelow. Mr. Wurzburg, however, received eleven of the thirteen votes cast and was declared elected. He thanked the society for the honor conferred upon him, and as- sured the members that he woutd endeavor to do his duty in the matter. Dr. Bigelow and Mr. Peck were the only candidates for vice-president, the choice falling to the former. Mr. Escott was elected secretary by ac- clamation—at once a compliment to his ability and a recognition of the efficient work he has done in assisting in the or- ganization of the society. : Mr. Fairchild was elected.treasurer by ac- clamation—a dangerous move for the society to make until the members are assured that the incumbent of that office will be able to find acceptable sureties on his bond. "The following gentlemen were elected a Board of Censors by acclamation: John Peck, C. P. Bigelow, J. S. Cowin. The following were elected a Board of Trustees, with the exception of the first named, who serves in that capacity ex-officio: ‘The President, Wm. H. Van Leeuwen, Isaac Watts, Wm. E. White, Wm. L.

The meeting then adjourned, to meet at the same place on the evening of Dee. 4. ——___—. 2+ The near approach of the holiday season seldom fails to enliven trade of all kinds. The shop-keeper gets in an attractive stock of Christmas and new-year’s goods early, and his customers find the attraction irresisti- ble. They begin to spend money freely, and naturally exert themselves to replace the dollars which slip away so easily for Christmas gifts; censequently there is a spurt of activity all around, no matter how dull the season may have been. Many of the large notion stores have already taken on this holiday aspect, and business has brightened up perceptibly in consequence. It is believed by many that this holiday ac- tivity, which will last up to Christmas, will tide over the time pending the complete restoration of confidence as to the affairs of government. Casting the important subject of politics aside, the natural course of com- mercial events would seem, at the present time, to be alone sufficient to bring about a reaction before the new year is a month old, —____—>_2>—___— A student in the Pharmacy Department of the University, calling himself A. R. Boyle, of Springfield, Ohio, succeeded in swindling the Ann Arbor banks out of $450 by means of forged drafts. He visited all three banks, and showed lettters from A. B. Prescott of the Pharmacy Department, Maj. Soule, treasurer of the University, identifying him as the person named in the drafts. The drafts were all cashed, but came back protested. Boyle fled the first of the week. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT And Condolence on the Death of Our Brother Druggist, Edward B. Escott. At a meeting of the Grand Rapids drug- gists, held November 9, 1884, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : - WuHEREAS—In view of the loss we have sustained by the decease of our friend and associate, Edward B. Escott, and of the still heavier loss sustained by those who were nearest and dearest to him; therefore, be it Resolved—That it is but a just tribute to the memory of the departed, to say that, in regretting his removal from our midst, we mourn for one who was, in every way, worthy of our respect and regard. Resolved—That in the death ot Edward B. Escott, we lament the less of one who was ever ready to proffer the hand of aid and the voice of sympathy to the needy and distressed; a friend and companion who was dear to us all; a citizen, whose upright and noble life was a standard of emulation to his fellows. Resolved—That in our natural sorrow for the loss of a beloved friend, we find con- solation in the belief that it is well with him for whom we mourn. Resolved—That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensa- tion with which it has pleased Divine Provi- dence to afflict them, and commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best, and whose chastisements are meant in mercy. Resolved—That this heartfelt testimonial of our sympathy and sorrow be forwarded to the family of our departed friend by the secretary of this meeting. GEO. G. STEKETEE, O. H. RicHMOoND, Frerp. THuM, F. J. WuURZBURG, C. P. BIGELOW, Committee. ee a The Drug Market. The drug business has been fairly good during the past week, and a marked improv- ment in collections is noted. Iodine and the iodides have met with another advance, and a still further movement in the same direction is expected. Other articles are about steady. - —>-o>—- It has been found, to the entire satisfac- tion of surgeons, that the hydro-chlorate of cocoaine, a drug now made by only one firm, in Germany, is a local anesthetic. By its use a patient, undergoing an opera- tion, feels no pain, while at the same time he preserves his consciousness. The bless- ing of such a drug is illimitable. Chloro- form, which has been such a boon to suffer- ing mankind, is refused by many persons because the thought of unconsciousness is as full of terror as the anticipation of the pain itself, and the discoverer of the new drug will deserve quite as much honor as has been accorded to the discoverer of the old one. —>-o<- “In a city of this size,” complains the Grand Rapids Telegram, “with 30 odd drug stores, there ought to be one enter- prising enough to keep open all night. It would be an innovation that would be ap- preciated and supported.” A drug trade journal is advertising a new patent medicine which is declared to be “the only specific for the fear of lightning.” —__—~»-9-—<——- Good Words Unsolicited.

OFFICE IN EAGLE BUILDING, 3d FLOOR. [Entered at the Postoffice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Matter.1 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1884. Credits in Business. From the United States Economist. Not only are credits necessary, but they involve further obligations of a high order onthe part of those who give them. Of course, all risks are calculated and consti- tute a part of the charge on goods so sold. It is expected that there may be some fail- ures, that there may be some wide-spread business troubles, or that there may be mon- ey stringency at times. It isa part of an im- plied contract, a part of the high mercantile character, a part of the largeness of the true merchant, that when such times do come the debtor should not be pounced upon and forced to the wall because his hands are tied by events which he could not control. It is in ‘such times as these, in fact, that the dif- ference is seen between the real merchant and the mere trader. The man who has his tens of thousands at stake with a customer of whom he hears some rumors of difficul- ties, is likely, as in more than one case which we know of, to proffer aid or an extension of credit. On the other hand, it is but too of- ten the case that the man who has only a few dollars, or hundreds at most, at stake, is very active with his tongue in weakening and pull- ing down his customer, caring for no amount of destruction he brings about, so that he may possibly be ahead of others to save the dollar that is owing him. But itis not only when a merchant may be actually in such trouble that such credit- ors seek to work destruction. It is often the ease in times like the present, for instance, that their principte is to try to break down the credit of men in good standing. Rumor is a powerful agency of destruction at such times, and however good a balance sheet a merchant may have, it is often in the power and heart of those huxtering characters to strike dead blows in their greed for gain, or out of mere dissoluteness of mercantile eharacter. Ifamerchant can make a fair showing at such a time, he is entitled to be upheld by his creditors, and, besides, their interests are identical with his own. The mereantile community would be spared many a disaster, if a high sense of responsi- bility in such cases were generally prevalent. Credits not only entail responsibilities of this kind upon the creditors, but merchants should not make rash credits in their zeal to sell goods. A risky expansion of business by such methods as the present system of long datings-ahead, is apt to weaken the eourage and magnamity of the best mer- chants in times of difficulty, but itshould be considered that the more risk is taken, the moré incumbent it should be upon the creditor to stand by his customer in the hour of peril. Credits are necessary and whole- some, but they are inseparable from the cor- relative duty mentioned and a sense of mag- naminity on the part of the true merchant. ’ ——_—_—> 2 >____ Peculiarities of Travel in a Sleeping-Car. The abundance of railways makes travel a luxury instead of a crucifixion. There are, however, some peculiarities which may be noticed, and one of these is one which I am sure the traveling public will thank me for calling attention to. It is to be found in the fact that the person in charge of the sleep- ers is, asa rule, an African, whose tropical blood demands a high temperature. The moment the passengers are in their berths he proceeds to close all the ventilators and open the dampers of the stoves. In a little while his chilled blood is warmed to a com- fortable degree, the car becomes almost as hot as the fiery furnace in which. the three Hebrews were to be cremated, the at- mosphere is stifling with the intense heat and noxious from the imprisoned emanations of the breath and the perspiration of the suffer- ingsleepers. There are groans, writhings, profanity and discomfort all over and through the car save in the case of the slumbering African, He sleeps serenely. What suffo- cates the others appears to add oxygen to his blood; he stews in the grease of the vile composition which fills the car and is su- premely happy. Now, the railway which will supply Afri- cans of lower thermometrical averages, and who will not have chills at a temperature below a hundred degrees, will confer “boon” on the traveling public. ———————»> +> A Good Paper. The Youth’s Companion is a paper which itis a pleasure to praise. For it demonstrates that it is not necessary to poison a boy’s mind in order to stimulate him. The pulse is made to throb, but with an impulse to do} right and fill a high place in the world’s es- timation. That this can be done and that The Companion has been able to achieve a circulation of 325,000 copies, is no small tes- timony to the skill and liberality with which it is edited. Those who know the paper best wonder how any American family is willing to do without it. The price is $1.75 a year. Subscriptions sent in now will entitle to copies of all the remaining issues of this year, as well as to the whole year 1885. oO Needed by every retail grocer or confec tioner, one or more of Kenyon’s Patent Spring Paper Bag Holders. Each has ca- pacity of containing about fifty bags. Their great convenience can be learned by having one mailed for 30c, four for $1, or one dozen expressed for $2.50 from Kenyon Brothers, Wakefield, Rhode Island.

CHASE & SANBORN, Boston, Mass. GENTLEMEN—In reply to yours of the 18th inst., asking our views in regard to the general excellence of your “STANDARD JAVA,” will say that our house was founded in the year 1840, and from that time to the present our earnest united efforts have been to se- cure goods which represented the very highest grade of quality, and the success we have had and the reputation we enjoy we attribute to this policy. About a year ago our attention was called to your “STANDARD J. AVA,” we person- ally tested it very carefully and to our mind it was most excellent. We then ordered a sample lot and placed it before our customers for approval, and it was pronounced by them a very fine Coffee. Since then as you know we have bought largely, and freely admit that it gives the best satisfaction. It is uniform in quality, and we have daily proofs from con- sumers that it is richer, finer flavored and more uniform than the Coffee we formerly sold which was the finest brand of Ankola or Mandeheling Java in the market. Yours respectfully, (Signed, ) Toseph RR. Peebles’ Sons. Send for Sample Lot. We guarantee to increase your Coffee trade, We have done i with others; we can with you.

Hay scales built upon land by the owners are real estate, and pass with the soil under them.—Dudley vs. Foot & Morse, Supreme Court of New Hampshire. CARRIER—DETENTION OF GOODS—LIA- BILITY. In a recent case where goods which were te be converted into money were detained in transportation by a earrier, the Supreme Court of Texas held (Houston & Texas Central Railway vs. Jackson) that the carrier was liable to pay legal interest by way of damages. LIFE INSURANCE—-INSURABLE INTEREST. A stranger who has no interest in the life of another can not obtain a membership for that person in any mutual benefit society where the membership secures an insurance on the life of the member, according to the decision of the Supreme Court of Indiana in the case of the Elkhart Association vs. Houghton, decided on the 30th ult. REDEMPTION—RIGHTS OF JUDGMENT CRED- ITOR. A judgment creditor after redeeming the tract has been made between other parties accepts the contract, it cannot be canceled by the parties so as to affect his right to en- force it, according to the decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals in the case of Dodge’s administration vs. Moss. In this ease the act of an attorney was held to be the act of his clients, and equivalent to an acceptance by them of a contract made be- tween third parties for their benefit. CARRIER’S LIABILITY —CONNECTING LINES. In a ease recently decided by the Texas Court of Appeals the receipt given by the company between the parties read: ‘ Re- ceived of J. W. Dupree one valise, valued at $500, and for which amount the charges are made by said company, marked J. W. Dupree, to be forwarded to Grandview, Tex., and there delivered,” etc., and contained a provision authorizing the company to de- liver the valise to any connecting carrier, and exempting it from apy loss which might occur after such delivery. The court in this case (Texas Express Co. vs. Pacific Express Co. et al.) held that the company could contract to carry the valise beyond its own line of road, and that having done so it could not legally stipulate that it would not be liable for less except on its own lines, but that it was responsible for the Hocker’s Standard Maunfactures Hoecker’s Self-Raising Buckurheat Is made from best New York and Pennsylvania stock.

He has only the right to have the land sold on his execution, and to receive the proceeds of that sale, by apply- ing the excess above the redemption money advanced, and interest, on his execution.— Brooks et al. vs. Sanders, Supreme Court of Illinois. INJUNCTION—EQUITY. A court of equity will not enjoin a judg- ment at law merely on the ground that the process in the suit in which judgment was rendered was not served on the defendant. To justify the interposition of a court of equity in such a case, it must be further shown that if the relief sought be granted, ee es a different result will be obtained from that | cps avd SontTars, wa behalf of ie ee poration, with another manufacturing com- already adjudged by the void judgment. This is the rule under the common law au- thorities.—Supreme Court of Illinois. AND CLIENT—PURCHASE EX- ECUTION. The mere relation of attorney and client does not of itself disable the attorney of a judgment creditor from buying on his own account ata sale in execution of the judg- ment, provided he act with perfect fairness and good faith and in no manner in opposi- tion to the interest of his client. So held by the Supreme Court of Louisiana in the recent case of Hyams, administrator, vs. Herndon et al. ATTORNEY CARRIER—LIABILITY—SPECIAL CONTRACT. While ordinarily the carrier’s liability is to the consignee, yet the shipper is his agent in making the contract, and it is sufficient for the carrier to prove a special contract limiting his liability with the ship- per. This may be done, according to the decision of the Kentucky Superior Court in the case of Adams Express Co. vs. Marshall, by showing that the shipper has voluntarily accepted a bill of lading containing the negligence of the connecting lines. AUTHORITY OF AGENT—USAGE. Ta the case of The National Furnace Co. vs. the Keystone Manufacturing Co., de- cided by the Supreme Court of Illinois at the September term, the following facts ap- peared: A corporation engaged in the man- ufacture of pig’ iron adopted, through its directory, a resolution as follows: ‘‘Resolved, that A B, of Chicago, be and is hereby ap- pointed and employed by this company as its sole agent for the consignment and sale of its entire product, he to receive a com- mission,” ete. This agent assumed to au- thorize another to make contracts in respect to the subject matter of the agency, and the pany to supply the latter with all the pig iron they should need, use or consume iy their business during the then ensuing season of such business. It was shown to have been the custom in Chicago for iron brokers to employ salesmen to make con- tracts to furnish manufacturers with the year’s supply of iron, to be delivered as or- dered. Upon the question as to the extent of the agent’s authority under these circum- stances, the court held that under the resolu- tion appointing him, in connection with the usage of trade in Chicago among this class of dealers, he had authority, as the general agent of his principal, to contract, through |, the instrumentality employed, for the sale of iron thereafter to be produced, and to be delivered in the future as ordered, and that his authority was not limited merely to the sale of the iron when it was ready for the market.. The court further held that, aside from any usage or custom among dealers, the resolution of appointment itself was broad enough in its terms to constitute the person appointed the general agent of the principal in respect to the business to which it related, and authorized him to contract Hecker’s Perfect Baking Power Efecker’s Hominy or Corn Grits Is made from fine white flint corn.

Effect of the New Administration On Business. Chicago News: Prominent business men of Chicago express no alarm at the prospect of a change in the administration of the affairs of the government. The excitement attendant upon the election has militated somewhat against the regular current of business, but not to such an extent as to create any apprehension for the future. Some are of the opinion that the unseason- able weather of late has had more to do with the temporary lull in business than any fear that Democratic rule would operate against the business interests of the coun- try. The tariff policy of the incoming party was adverted to as likely to be an important factor in determining the permanent results on business, but no one seemed to entertain the opinion that the changes, if any, will be so radical as to retard the country’s pros- perity. .. 2 New York Shipping and Commercial List: The week opens with the political at- mosphere clearing, the uneasiness growing out of the uncertainty of the result of the election-that generally prevailed last week, gradually disappearing, and a disposition to abide by the verdict of the majority, what- ever it may be. That even the accession to power of another political party is viewed without dismay by conservative business men, is sufficiently demonstrated by the fact that amid all the recent excitement of party strife, the commercial situation has been scarcely disturbed, and now presents the same calm aspect that prevailed a week ago. Indianapolis Grocer: Now that the elec- tions are over, let us give business a chance. It is the duty of every good. citizen to abide by the decision of the majority of the people, and as the voting is over, and nothing is to be gained by a wild abandon- ment of occupations to indulge in the luxury of fruitless controversy and_ excessive hilarity, let us ‘sober up” and concentrate energies upon business. It is an unfortu- nate necessity that compels us to divert our energies six months every fourth year, and three months, to some extent, at least, every other year, to political ends. But in re- publics the sovereign must make exercise of his powers, and these are to vote and convince others to vote right. But when the ballots are cast the fight is over. There is no further appeal, and the resort should then be to the store, the workshop, the plow, and the counting room. Here’s to the general good of our whole country during the administration of our new President. Northwestern Lumberman: The week past has been devoted more to speculating on the results of the late national election and waiting for the count than to business. The lumber trade, such as there is, has con- tinued in motion, but the men engaged in it have discharged their duties in a perfunctory way, not knowing whether or not they were laying sure foundations for future prosper- ity. The lumbermen of the country, like other business men; are moreor less distrust- ful of the results of a presidential election, and when the final count fails to be prompt and satisfying their distrust is intensified. Yet we know of no lumberman who propos- es to wind up business on account of a change of administration. There is only a waiting and careful looking to see what shape gov- ernmental affairs will take. Few will under- take to branch out into new enterprises this winter. Expenses will be reduced and kept to the minimum as nearly as possible; every- thing will be conducted in a conservative way, and devoid of unnecessary risk. The stock of lumber on hand is ample for all re- quirements, and the work of distributing it to a legitimate trade will engage the hand lers of manufactured stock for the next few months, while logging will be prosecuted on a scale somewhat restricted as compared to the lavish manner of previous years. From now until spring there will undoubtedly be manifested a degree of moderation in all things—a feeling along the way that leads into the future. It can truthfully be said that there is a lack of confidence in the minds of lumberman as to the shape affairs will assume for the year tocome. While they are not discouraged or bowed down, they feel as if they would like to see a clear- ing away o fdoubts, a settlement of some un- certain questions of government policy. If the incoming administration could be in- duced to cast some shadow before, indicating what is to be its policy in regard to the rey- enue, the surplus in the treasury, the finan- cial system of the country generally—wheth- er the new administration is to be a bullina china shop (pardon the similtude) or a con- servative, safe custodian of the nation’s in- terests—it would act asa pacification of much fear and pertubation. All are ready to ac- quiesce in a change, and give a cordial sup- port to the new government, if a guarantee of a safe, careful, and, withal, progressive policy can be assured. The business men of the country want but little disturbing tinker- ing with the revenue or finances, neither do they want a re-actionary policy that shall check advancement toward the grand future to which all spirited citizens aspire. They want security and a free field, and these only. ~~ -©- <> The tobacco crop of this country, which, in 1864, was but 197,000,000 pounds, prom- ises to be between 600,000,000 and 700,000,- 000 pounds, or more than three times that of twenty years ago. The acreage, which in 1864 was 239,826 has jumped to nearly 700,000, while the yalue of the crop, which in 1864 was $30,000,000, will probably reach $45,000,000 or $50,000,000 in 1884. Order Magnolia Plenty of Bad Figs in Market. From the New York Sun. Wholesale fruit dealers in this city are re- ceiving complaints every day about the figs which they have forwarded to their out of town customers. The figs are said to be sour, and often decayed. “The fig crop in Turkey has been unusual- ly large this year,” an importer said recently, “and there are quantities of figs in this mar- ket. The fault is that the figs have not been properly cured. Many were picked before they wereripe, and many have been shipped before they were thoroughly cured. Every year this happens to some extent, but never to such an extent as at present. One of the reasons for the figs being bad is that the hot weather has lasted longer than usual, and has caused the figs to sweat and become sour.” “How are they selling?” “Anywhere from six cents to twenty cents a pound. A very fair article can be bought for fourteen cents. Last year nearly $400,- 000 w orth of imported figs came to this coun try. This year there were more in bulk, bu- they are not worth so much.” At Half Cost. From the New England Grocer. “Sugar at half cost,’? was the label posted in a Boston grocer’s store window. “What are you paying per pound for sug- ar, now?” asked a customer of the clerk at the sugar counter. “We are paying a trifle over six cents per pound at wholesale,” said the clerk. “Well,” said the customer, “Ill take a pound. He’s your pay,” handing out three cents. The clerk delivered the goods, put the three cents in the money drawer, and then that sign came down in the twinkle of an eye. No more goods sold “at half cost” in that store. Should Have Come to Grand Rapids. The following, from the Chicago Grocer, relates the disastrous consequences frequent- ly attendant upon a visit to the Wicked City —consequences which could have been avoid- ed by coming to this market instead: Henry Phillips, a grocer hailing from Law- rence, Mich., came to the city a few days ago to purchase a stock of goods, but falling in with some giddy habitues of the “levee,” was soon pickled, and was picked up by the patrol and taken to the armory at an early hour the following morning. He looked very penitent when he appeared before Justice Foote, and fortunately had money enough left tu pay the fine of $1 and costs which the court assessed him. ———_—~ -¢<_____ Dairymen’s Convention. C. B. Lambert, the well-known writer of dairy topics, makes the following pertinent suggestions: I am in hopes that some of the factory- men will bestir themselves and eall a factorymen’s convention. Michigan has many advantages for being a dairy state, but the dairymen lack system. — +2 <> The commercial editor of the Cleveland Herald says: “If two pots of butter be taken, and the one thoroughly washed in weak brine so that it will not color the water, and then work it over and expel the surplus moisture, and take another lump from the same churning and work it over without washing, but salt it at the rate of an ounce to the pound, and set them away, the salted butter will be the first to get rancid and worthless.” ———@q@q@m o> —_ It is claimed that certain Detroit jobbers are disregarding the compact recently made with the manufacturer of ‘‘ Hiawatha” by giving a rebate of 50 cents on every five pails purchased. THE TRADESMAN will in- vestigate the report, and ascertain the exact facts in the matter. : SE aoe, San cE A premium of thirty thousand dollars, says the Paper World, has been offered by the Mexican Government to any one who will establish in that country a paper mill at a cost of $150,000. The Government will also concede the right to all cactus plants on the State lands. : —~> -9- <> The Minister of Commerce of France has issued a second circular calling upon the police to enforce the law prohibiting the use of salicylie acid in all kinds of food. French brewers are very indignant, as salicylic acid had been extensively used in spite of the law. a * Direct shipments of Florida oranges are now coming in and the quality is very good and prices low. Lemonsare steady. Chest- nuts are a little higher. Peanuts are easy, with slightly lower prices for new stock in Virginias. i oe Wisconsin has fully a thousand cream- eries and cheeseries. “STATE SEAL.” Cody, Ball & Co.’s New Brand of Fine-Cut. Stimulated by the almost unparalled suc- cess of their brand of plug tobacco, ‘“‘Tram- way,” Messrs. Cody,.Ball & Co, have been experimenting for some months past on a brand of fine-cut that will be as fine in qual- ity, give as good value for the money, and prove as satisfactory to the retailer and con sumer as ‘Tramway ;” and they have been re- warded by the production of a piece of goods that has no equal on the market and is bound to meet with the same generous recognition accorded its predecessor in the plug line. “State Seal’ is made from the best selected leaf, by the best known processes, is of su- perior strength and excellent flavor, and is as fine as anything on the market, no matter what the price.

The following is a scale of hardness in use in the laboratory of the Technical High School at Prague, composed of eighteen me- tallic substances, arranged in ascending or- der from the softest to the hardest: 1.. Pure soft lead. . Pure tin. Pure hard lead. Pure annealed copper. Cast fine copper. 6. Soft bearing metal (copper, 85; tin, 10; zine, 5). 7. Cast iron fanpenied). 8. Fibrous wrought iron. 9. Fine-grained light gray cast iron. 10. Strengthened cast iron (melted with 10 per cent. of wrought turnings). 11. Soft ingot iron, with 0.15 per cent. carbon (will not harden). 12. Steel, with 0.45 per cent. carbon (not hardened). 13. Steel, with 0.96 per cent. carbon (not hardened). 14. Crucible cast steel, hardened and tem- pered, blue. 15. Crucible steel, hardened and temper- ed, violet to orange-yellow. 16. Grucible steel, hardened and temper- ed, straw yellow. 17. Hard bearing-metal (copper, 83; zine, 17). 18. Crucible steel, glass hard. The test is made by drawing a cylindrical piece with aconical point along a polished surface of the metal to be tested. In the case described, that of a bronze used for the cross-head guide of a locomotive, the point, when loaded with five kilograms, was drawn six times through a distance of three centimeters. Under these conditions the points of the number below five in the scale were blunted without marking the surface; with Nos. 5 and 6 neither point nor surface were abraded; but No. 7, while being slightly worn on the point, began to scratch the sur- face. The hardness was therefore that of pure copper or soft bronze. The absolute tensile existence was found to be 2051.7 kil- ograms per square centimeter, while that of copper is 1920 kilograms per square centi- meter, and that of the bronze, No. 6, is 2,300 per square centimeter, thus showing an inti- mate relation between the strength and hard- ness of similar metallic compounds. Worthless Hardware Products. Mr. C. B. Webster, the United States Con- sul at Sheffield, reports that the production of rubbish hardware is increasing to an alarming extent in that headquarters of Eng- lish cutlery. The cutlery trade is grievous- ly missing the influence that the guild of cutlers used to exercise over the production of the district when they had the power to destroy any cutlery when it was found to be made of material inferior to what it profess- ed to be. The demoralizing power of unre- stricted competition has pulled down prices so grievously that pocket knives are now sold at 24g cents each, and good looking razors at 75 cents a dozen, and the parties that make them have to make a living from the profit realized. To make cutlery atsuch a price the most inferior material has to be used. With all the patent processes of the present day, it has come to be very difficult to know with certainty what kind of mater- ial is bought under the name of steel. In Sheffield, alloys of Scotch pig-iron and serap are made into castings by certain enterpris- ing parties and vended as crucible steel cast- ings, with a tensile strength of only about eight tons per square inch, and very far in- ferior for standing wear and tear and in strength to good honest anthracite pig-iron. Yet the demand for cheap steel-producing processes goes feverishly on, and the same causes that keep up this demand will be at work when good cast steel becomes as cheap re ee oF as pig-iron is to-day, should that point of |- cheapness ever be reached. —_-. > Elastic Lacquer. A very elastic lacquer, perfectly supple, aud not liable to peel off, may be thus made: are put into 22 pounds of water in another. As soon as the lime causes an effervesence 55 pounds of india-rubber are added. This mixture is stirred and then poured into the vessel of hot varnish. The whole is in- stantly stirred so that the ingredients may become thoroughly incorporated. Straining and cooling complete the process. When required for use it is thinned with the nec- essary quantity of varnish, and applied hot or cold to wood, iron, walls, waterproof cloth, paper, or other material. - ei Cleaning Brass. To remove the stains of iodide potassa and | aqua ammonia stains off of brass, scour with | a mixture of ammonia water, alcohol, and | chalk. For delicate work the chalk should | be finely levigated. For heavy work pow- dered bath brick, rotton stone, red brick dust, or Tripoli in sweet oil may be rubbed on with a flannel, and the article polished with leather. The government method has been to dip the article in a mixture of two parts nitric acid and one part sulphuric acid, immediately removing to water, and finally rubbing with sawdust. Grease is removed with alkali. ———— “No, marm,” said the shoe-dealer, ‘I Increase Your Sales. From the American Storekeeper. Every country merchant should look about him and see if he is selling all the goods he ought with his facilities and surroundings. Consider if there is not some other line of which he could carry the staples, and there- by add materially to his sales without a much greater investment than he now has. We do not think it policy fora trader to take too many lines of goods, but it should be his study not only to keep everything in his regular stock for which there is a reason- able demand, but to extend his trade gradu- ally by trying the most staple articles in some new department, and thus increase his sales. If he already has a good trade es- tablished in boots and shoes, he can add hats and caps to his line without a large in- vestment. If in the grocery trade, and his capital will permit, he should by all means add a erockery and glassware department. Nor does it require so large an outlay. One can purchase two or three assorted crates of staple crockery and glassware for from one to three hundred dollars, which would prove the nucleus of an important department, by which his profits would be greatly in- creased. The dealer in stoves and tinware, by a careful study of the demands of his customers, can gradually increase his line with the more staple articles of hardware. Remember the. people must have all the goods we have named, and you ought to sell them. Of course we would not advise the trader who has barely enough capital to keep up his stock as it is, to increase his liabilities more than he is obliged to; but there are hundreds of well-to-do store- keepers content to take the trade as it comes, in the line which they have followed all their lives, and to whom the additional out- lay of from three to six hundred dollars would cause no inconvenience. They may be compared to the old fogy farmer whose broad acres are capable of supporting twice the number of sheep he has ever kept, which fact he has never dis- covered. Don’t embark in anew business or con- tinue in an old one and be content with “only a living.” Force: the fight into new channels. You can do it without increasing your expenses. Let no opportunity for add- ing to your sales or making an honest dollar escape you. : A Word of Praise. From the St. Louis Grocer. There has been much written about the relations between employers and employe, and while we do not intend to discuss the general relations, there is one point that it will not be amiss to touch upon. While it is true that an employe engages to work for a certain sum of money and can not expect any other recompense, in many cases he does look for other pay than the money, and feels disappointed when he does not get it. Werefer to the point that a faithful and efficient employe expects at times to get due credit from his employer for the good work he is doing. Failing to get this praise for his good ‘work an employe feels slighted, and ulti- mately becomes discontented, because he feels his labors are not appreciated. In course of time this restiveness and discon- tent become so great that the employe changes to some other house, where he hopes his labors will receive at least some honorable mention. There are many men in the employ of others who desire words of praise, and he is a wise employer who praises his help when good work is done. By so doing he creates a feeling of good will that big salaries cau never gain, and he gets in- creased efficiency in his employes. We be- lieve employers are altogether too chary in their praise of good work, and that it would be money to them if they adopted the course of rewarding merit by a simple word of praise. a Bee A Very Tight Squeeze. From the Wall Street News. It was in a Michigan town. The papers were out with a sensational article regarding | the defaleation and flight of the town treas- About 120 pounds of oil varnish are heated | yrer, and the affair was the talk on every in one vessel, and 33 pounds of quicklime | corner and in every store. A New Yorker who happened to be in the town was consid- erably interested, and in conversation with a leading merchant he remarked; “T presume he gave a bond?’ “Oh, yes.” ‘ ‘‘And the bondsmen are good?’ “That’s the deuce of it, mister!’ exclaim- ed the merchant. I’m the only bondsman, and he’s placed me in a mean position. I was preparing to fail and beat my creditors, but I’ be hanged if I see how I’m to beat the creditors and the town, too, and get enough property in my wife’s name to start would like to give you a smaller pair, but to sell you anything below eights would render | me liable under the statute for the preven- | tion of cruelty to animals.” He didn’t sell | her anything under eights or over it. Some | women are so touchy about the size of their | feet. / vas not in, but de bill vas made owit.” \ a wholesale house in Detroit !”’ —--—<-6- <> A company is getting ready to build a) | pneumatie tube for carrying letters and small packages from Chicago to New York. The idea at first seemed impracticable, but on examination it turns out to be feasible. Two tubes are to be made of brass, which will run side by side, although it is said one tube will be tried first. A powerful engine with an exhaust wheel is to be sta- tioned at one end. It is said that if the tube is properly made and planted no air willescape. The right of way, it is believed, ean be secured for nothing, or at a nominal expense, and the main cost will be the tubes and engines and stations. A bank cashier went into a German cus- | tom boot shop and was measured for a pair of boots. In afew days he ealled for his boots. The German cobbler met him smilingly with the remark: ‘ Doze boots fears of consumption. _. Nails in Decoration, Charles G. Leland, in St. Nicholas. Round-headed brass nails may of them- selves be extensively used in decorating chests, ete. It is wet] known in repousse or sheet-brass work that a very important point consists of introducing at regular in- tervals bosses,”’or;;round studs, of such a nature that they shall attract the eye by re- flecting light. Thus, in the days when every room had its salvers and plates of hammered brass, favorite subjects were oranges. grapes, and other round fruits, whose hemispherical and rounded surface gave a brilliant reflect of light. Accordingly, a very favorite subject for a brass platter was the spies returning from Canaan, bear- ing between them an immense bunch of grapes. During three hundred years there were as many salvers made with this sub- ject as all others combined. In fact the em- ployment of the boss, or knob, or circle, in art is as old as art itself; it was common among the earliest races, and an article which I have read declares that the white dots ina blue ground which form the un- dying ‘“ polka-dot pattern” in cravats is a survival of the heads of the rivets in an- cient armor. It is as curious as instructive to observe how, for instance in Romanesque dress, very good effects were produced by simple circlets, surrounded at times by dots. These are seen, too, not only on old Anglo- Saxon and Gaulish dresses, but’ on all ob- jects where it was desirahle to produce the most ornamental effect in the easiest man- ner. Nails can be had at the brass fur- nisher’s in great variety and of every pat- tern, from one or two inches in diameter down to the tiniest tacks. —_—___—._2—.____-- Making Screws. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. The process of making screws is a very interesting one. The rough, large wire in big coils is, by drawing through a hole of less diameter than itself, made the needed size. Then it goes into a machine that at one motion cuts it a proper length and makes a head on it. Then it is put into sawdust and “rattled,” and thus brightened. Then the head is shaved down smoothly to the proper size and the nick put in it at the same time. After ‘‘ rattling” again in the sawdust, the thread is cut by another ma- chine; and after another “rattling” and a thorough drying, the screws are assorted by hand (the fingers of those who do this move almost like lightning), grossed by weight, and packed for shipment. That which renders it possible for machines to do all this is a little contrivance that looks and opens and shuts like a goose’s bill, which picks up a single screw at a time, carries it where needed, holds it until grasped by something else, and returns for another. ‘This is one of the most wonderful pieces of automatic machinery ever seen; and it has done its distinctive work at the rate of thirty-one screws a minute, although this rate is only experimental as yet. Ninety- three gross a day, however, has been the regular work of one machine. © . |ing, Pulleys and Boxes.

From the New York Times, A very important scientific discussion con- counterfeit money quicker; they keep their | cerning the buttoning of female dresses is | cash accounts clearer, and don’t want to run | just now occupying the more thoughtful of | the whole store, as men do.’”? So said one | the London weekly papers.

From the Buffalo Express. : “Do women embezzie ?” ‘No, they don’t. I never knew a woman { server—who is believed to be Prof. Huxley | to a reporter. ‘Yes, they are invariably —has discovered that women universally but- | ton their clothing on the left, instead of the | : right side. That is to say, the buttons on | collars, handkerchiefs, ete.—but the cases any given article of female dress are on the | are rare. Most saleswomen and cashiers in left side and the button-holes on the right | side. The opposite is true as to all articles of male apparel, and scientific persons are now earnestly endeavoring to ascertain why the difference between the sexes exists. The opinivn is freely expressed that the habit of buttoning clothing on the left side is an evidence of mental weakness. Strength of mind, according to those who hold this opinion, is never displayed by left-handed persons, and it is assumed that the person who buttons a dress on the left side is, of course, more or less left-handed. Man, be- ing stronger than woman, naturally buttons things with his right hand, while woman, be- ing the weaker vessel, buttons her clothing with the left hand. The trouble with this ingenious theory is that it is not true. Although women’s dresses are invariably buttoned on the left side, they are not buttoned with the left hand, and women are very seldom left-hand- ed. ltissaid by experts that in buttoning a dress a woman uses both hands, holding the putton side with the left hand and fastening the buttons with the right. Nevertheless, ‘not an English scientific person has thought it worth while to ask if women fasten their buttons with the left hand; and columns of able arguments have been written, all of which are based upon the unwarranted as- sumption that women are left-handed. A key to the solution ofthe problem was furnished some time ago by an English- man, who wrote that dresses were buttoned on the left side because dressmakers made them to be so buttoned. This ought to have suggested the theory that to make dresses button on the left side is an hereditary cus- tom handed down from one dressmaker to another, and that the origin must be sought for in the day when dressmakers first began to make dresses that are fastened in front. No one, however, has done this, perhaps be- cause it is easier to invent theories than it is to make laborious investigations. Prior to the Reformation, dresses were fastened at the back, and one of the grand- est results of that memorable insurrection against ignorance and superstition was the emancipation of women from dresses ‘“hook- ed,up behind.” It was Luther who took the bold ground that woman, So long as she had to have some one to assist her in fastening her dress, was not a free person, and that in order to develop her noblest qualities, she must be permitted to fasten her dress in front, and thus dispense with assistance when putting on her clothes. Calvin differ- ed from Luther in this matter and maintain- ed that dresses fastened in front were not authorized by scripture and were therefore wrong. Melanchthon tried to steer a middle course, and naturally gaining nothing by it, Luther upbraiding him for his want of cour- age, while Calvin charged him with heresy. The final result of the very hot discussion of the matter between the leaders of the Refor- mation was that each each ont clung to his original position, and that, with the excep- tion of the immediate followers ot Calvin, the women of the reformed faith accepted the doctrine of Luther and began to wear dresses fastening in front. So strong is the force of tradition among women that the dress fastening behind did not entirely disappear until within the last quarter of a century. Men are now living who remember having seen dresses fastening behind, and there are women who still speak of the trouble and vexation which such * dresses involved. Hooks and eyes held their place with still greater tenacity than dresses opening behind, and for some purposes they are still used by dressmakers. Now, it is evident that hooks and eyes can be used with ease only when the hook is held in the left hand and the eye in the right. The hook merely requires to be held per- fectly still while the eye is passed over it. This is the reason why, when dresses were fastened with hooks and eyes, the eyes were always placed on the right side of the dress and the hooks on the left side. After the Reformation, when dresses fastening in front began to be used, they were still fastened with hooks and eyes, and of course the eyes were placed on the right side. No dress- maker ever thought of deviating from this custom, and it is safe to say that no woman would have had the patience to wear adress hooking on the right side. When buttons began to take the place of hooks and eyes it was natural that dress- makers should place the button-holes on the side where the eyes had formerly been plac- ed. Dressmakers, being women, knew nothing by experience of the nature of but- tons, and supposed it was necessary. to han- dle them precisely as hooks were handled. We have thus a clear and trustworthy ex- planation of the origin of the custom of but- toning dresses on the left side. Any British scientific person willing to incur the labor of every sense respectable. ‘“* Newspapers nowadays are full of wicked embezzlements. Bank presidents run away with forfunes, wreck homes, families, lives, reputations and public institutions. Cashiers steal, gamble, abseond, speculate and use money intrusted to them by poor working people. They lie, dissemble, deceive, and finally rob the directors of the corporations employing them; but women do not steal. Look at the suicides caused by all these breaches of trust! See the beggars these sleek-tongued villains have made in two cities during the past week—but women do not embezzle. ‘“* { have a cashier now who is the shrewd- est woman [ ever knew. She sits up there where the cash balls roll in, evidently kept busy making change... But that young woman knows all that is going on at every eounter of this large store. She catches shoplifters, reports irregularities among clerks, and detects every little device in- vented by the salesmen to beat us or our customers. Sheis not a spy or a ‘tattle- tale.’ The crookedness she reports among clerks would affect her if allowed to pass. She often calls me up and points out some mistake in the cash check, saying, for in- stance, ‘that has occurred five times this week. Mr. is very careless.’ So you see she does not accuse him of willful mis- takes in making out his checks, but I under- stand her and apply the proper remedy. ‘‘A eashier’s place isa hard one. She sits up there alone, generally; she must be quick to make change, and the knowledge that every cent lost comes out of her $8 or $9 a week, naturally tends to make her nervous. She must wateh for mutilated, punched and plugged coins; and for coun- terfeit pieces and bad bills. The checks accompanying the cash are invariably writ- ten in haste, are often illegible, and if she does not read the figures correctly is liable to send back too much change. “But you asked me if women embezzle. Never have I known a single case; never have I heard of one. I can not say that of men. I have employed four young men at different times. One left me, one was not quick enough, and the other two robbed me.” The Thread Industry of the United States. The thread industry of the United States, while it does not rank alongside the iron and steel industries in importance, makes quite a respectable showing, in figures at least. American manufactories now turn out daily 12,000 dozen spools, containing 200 yards each, or, in other words, enough thread in six days to girdle the globe four and one-sixth times. The annual consump- tion of spools by our thread-makers alone represents from three to four thousand cords of wood. Fourteen thread manufacturers who export largely to this country also use immense numbers of American spools, wind- ing their thread upon them after the thread has paid duty at some of our ports. The consumption of the best grades of thread in our country is estimated at 21,000,000 spools per annum. cope . Pretty Feet. Ladies in India never wear shoes, and their feet, instead of being deformed, are natural and beautiful, says the New York World. The climate does not permit such a practice with us, but there is no need of our going to the opposite extreme and mak- ing our feet so ill-shaped that they are never shown without shrinking. It is pos- sible to preserve the feet in their natural condition and yet wear shoes and stockings. Why should not the foot be preserved as beautiful as the hand and face? The fact that it is covered and rarely seen is:no reason for neglecting it. On the other hand, ‘“ Ihave never known a_ beautiful woman,” said an artist who had painted many of them, ‘“ whose foot was present- able without a slipper and fine stocking.” —__<9- About 150,000 gallons of handkerchief perfumes are consumed annually in Europe and British India. The English revenue from eau de cologne is $40,000 annually, and the total revenue of other pertumes is esti- mated at $200,000 annually. There is one great perfume distillery at Cannes, in France, which uses yearly 100,000 pounds of acacia flowers, 140,000 pounds of rare flower leaves, 32,000 pounds of jasmine blos- soms, 20,000 pounds of tube-rose blossoms, and an immense quantity of other materi- al. Rubber may be melted over a warm bath. To obtain it in the liquid state, it 1s*com- monly the practice to dissolve it in some suitable solvent, and then evaporate that solution to the desired consistency. WHOLESALE PRICE CURRENT.
