Eight- before, John Markham came there from the East, and bought a little ‘‘bottom-patch’’ of sixty acres, and set- tled on it with his wife. He built a log- cabin, set to work awkwardly to culti- vate a few girdled acres, and tried to ac- commodate himself to an tion.

He brought books, not over a hundred in number, which his neighbors deemed to be a great library. His house was neat, owing to young wife’s taste. The neighbors said: ‘‘It?s stuek roun’ with thing-a-majigs till it’s a plom sight.’’ Markham worked hard, and so did his wife, and, soon after their coming, Kitty was born. She was christened Catharine Burnett. Three months after her birth her mother died, and Mrs. M’ Kissen, who had just lost a child of nearly the same otfered to nurse Kitty—an offer thankfully accepted. But John Mark- ham caught cold by exposure, it settled upon his lungs, and in less thana year he died, leaving his little possessions to his child. Kitty thrived and soon became known as a M’Kissen, the circuit-rider’s baptismal certificate to the contrary not- withstanding. She and Hugh, who was a nine-year-old boy when she came, had his age, been brought up together. When she was half grown, Peter M’Kissen was killed by the fall of a girdled tree, and Kitty became the mainstay of the house, for old Mrs. M’Kissen, who was ten years | senior to her husband, had aralytic for years, and passed her time Ss been half | in hobbling between her bed, the kitchen | table and the fireside, where she com- | forted herself with her cob-pipe, fre- quently refilled.

That kind of knowledge did not interfere with her housewifely qualities, for known to be the best cook and baker as well as the best butter-maker and neatest housekeeper in the county. Hugh measured all other girls by her Procrustean standard. Be- sides, Hugh was not matrimonially in- clined. His home was too comfortable, and he was inno hurry to bring a strange woman there. But Mrs. M’Kissen thought it high time for her son to marry, and spoke to him about it. ‘What's the ment of mother; she was need, mother?’ he re- sponded. ‘‘l’m comfortable, and so are you. Why should I bring a strange girl here—one that ain’t used to us and our ways, upsetting things?”’ ‘You needn’t do that neither,” said his mother. But Hugh was too obtuse to take the hint and went out to salt the cattle. But he communed with himself as he went. “I might spark Luey Campbell,’’ he thought. ‘‘She’s been East to school, and she’s a sort of high-flyer, but she’s pretty. Old Jim Campbell’s oa off, and he has only young Jim and Luey. I I'll speak to Kitty about it. And there she is at the cows, now.” Kitty was there with her milk-pails, and Hugh broached the subject at once. She looked up, blushed a little and then looked down, and listened. ‘Lucey Campbell!’ eried. “So, Boss! Why don’t the ecre’tur’ keep still? Lucy Campbell’s nice girl; a little sharp-tempered, but yuu’re not; and she never turns a hand to anything around the house; but you’re not looking for a housekeeper.

It re came from Tawas, the owner of the lumber deeming it advisable to have the benefit of the > Saginaw River market. The barge Al- pine, also lumber iaden frem Tawas for Bay City, also reached the River the same day, for the same purpose. Marquette—E. L.

He does not start his mill without orders for bill stuff to eut, however, he having captured the order for all the material to be used in the erection of anew | dock for the Duluth, South Shore & At- = Railway.

Oscoda —Some of the lumber towns seem to have imbibed the idea that they can swoop down on the profits of the lumbermen to any extent desirable. A ease has recently been tried in the Cir- euit Court here, which will probably be appealed to the Supreme Court for final adjustment. The Gratwick, Smith & Fryer Lumber Co.’s assessment on their | mill property by this village was on a| valuation of $110,000, or double that of | | the previous year. The company pai the tax under protest, and commenced action to recover a portion of the amount, on the ground of excessive tax. The | case was tried before a jury, naturally prejudiced in favor of the village, which promptly deeided against the company. The ease will now go to the higher court onthe pleaof fraud and irregularity of the tax roll. Houghton — The following attaching judgments have been taken against the} Huron Mining Co.: L.

About the Bank Where You Deposit Your Money. J. M. Batchelor, in Dry Goods Bulletin. A striking feature of business habits is the state of mind of the average re- tailer toward the bank where he keeps his account. In small cities and towns the people throw around their bank a kind of halo, that it is too sacred to en- quire into. —> but in a quiet way. 1an in Dry Goods Bulletin. anging a display of blankets it is best to give up a window entirely to this than resort to a ip with other lines. A ‘tive arrangement is to build up boxes and boards, according i of the window, which should over so that none of the foundation is seen, then take your blankets, roll them and tie with colored tape or braid; by so doing the blankets may be arranged at the will of the draper. Rows of blankets alternating in colors, look well offset by plac- ing a blanket here and there lengthwise. Another arrangement is to allow the hang full length on both the window, then place boxes in foundation, on which boards and saw off the ges so as to py a circle; this will the draper to place the blankets being banded; an- aced on top and a smaller circle made from lumber, and the blank- ets arranged in the same manner.

A traveling man who was also newly wedded wife tnat he would give her a dollar every time he kissed her and in that way she could save plenty of money. Things went on this way for several years and as he made plenty of money he faithfully kept his promise. Finally reverses came and the once pros- perous traveling man found he _ was virtually a pauper. He went home to his wife and told her all. She, however, did not seem to feel worried and he was | somewhat suprised when she ask him to take a ride with her that afternoon, but he accepted her invitation. Passing a large block on a well known street, she said, ‘*That’s mine.’’ Soon she came to a handsome flat and said ‘‘That’s mine.” Well, she showed him several places with the same remark until he be suspicious and inquired * deuce did you accumulate so much wealth???’ ‘Do you remember the con- tract you made when we were first mar ried?’ saidshe. “Yes,” he replied, “I do.”? Well, I invested it and it has made us rich.” The traveling man hung his head and said nothing. This was kept up for thirty minutes until his wife be- came alarmed and she asked ‘‘What in the world is the matter, and what are you thinking about?” He said, ‘*I was think- ing of how rich we would be if I had done all my kissing at home.’ 2 <> Combinations Pay. That combinations pay those who are on the inside will be pretty generally admitted, and yet the people have but a vague idea of how well combinations do pay. An instance is given in the trans- continental railroad combination, which recently voted to the Pacifie Mail Steam- ship Company the sum of $75,000 per month, conditioned solely on an agree- ment by the steamship company that it shall not accept freight between San Francisco and New York at such rates as might divert business from the transcon- tinental roads. The transcontinental railroads dare not do this openly, there- fore, as a sort of blind, which, however, is so gauzy that it deceives no one, the subsidy is paid in the form of a contract for space on vessels. Last year these roads paid over half a million of dollars for space on vessels and did not use the space. In addition to this the combina- tion pays $500,000 a year to the Canadian Pacific for keeping out of the Pacific coast business of the United States, mak- ing an aggregate subsidy amounting to $1,500,000 a year to prevent competition in the carrying trade of the Pacific coast. This is but one of many instances that could be cited, showing how combinations pay. Itis needless to add that the con- sumer is called upon to pay the subsidies. —_ ><> A Folding Lantern for Usein Tents. The globular brass lantern, hitherto in use for military service purposes, is to be superceded by a folding lantern for use in tents. The new lantern is carried in began to ‘Howin the a case of tin, with a lid and leather car- rying strap attached. It weighs 74 pounds and is about one foot long. The folding lantern is made of tin, the sides, top and bottom being so hinged together that they can be folded up and placed inside the tin case which protects the lantern from injury. Guides, partly of tin and partly of copper, hold the glass sliding where bolts hold the parts in position where the lantern is fixed for use. —————_—>_-4§ Women are quite accustomed to mascu- line criticisms on their clumsy use of tools, but the Chicago Times bears the palm for gallantry when it asserts that, if the last nail in the Woman’s Building at the World’s Fair is to be driven by a woman, and if it is expected that the building will be completed in season for the opening, the nail in ques- tion should havea head as large as a Dutch cheese.

The officers of the Patrons’ Commercial Union are out ina ecard to the farming community, in which Director Conklin says: The aggregat sales of the Union since March 24, the date that me and Secretary Taylor took possession of the business in regular form, have been over $50,000, and the actual savings to the members amount to over $20,000—the average per cent. of saving being about 30. Such a statement looks well in print, much better if it eorrobora- but it would look very were accompanied by ting evidence, such as the affidavit of a customer of the Union to the effect that he had saved 30 per cent. on every bar- rel of salt or dollar’s worth of granulated sugar purchased through the medium of the Lansing concern. The manifest ob- ject of the statement is plainly shown in the after part of the circular, where a piteous appeal is made to farmers, either in or outside the organization of the Patrons of Industry, to an ad- mission fee which would enable them to buy goods at such a tremendous conces- sion. some send in What Has the Future in Store? The uncertainties of 1892 and those aifecting our material interests chiefly from the politicians. first the tariff, concerning can figure positively; ver question with its uncertainties; and thirdly is the presidential campaign with its unknown quantity. the settlement for four years of these come There is which no one next comes the sil- final dis- turbing problems, we might move on in our calculations with some show of suc- eess. What we know in our affairs is hard enough to handle, but what we don’t know is the chief harassment— that for which we can’t make provision. So there is nothing left for us to do but keep our weather eye open for rising fogs, and do the best we can under the circumstances. It is the management of these uncertainties which makes the dif- ference between a purse full and a purse empty. No doubt but the coming year is one full of opportunities. Our huge crops and big demand for them fixed all that for us, an enriching fact for all branches of business. Gro. R. Scort. > . > - Cheese Exhibit at St. Johns. Hon. E. N. Bates, President of the!

The new officers are: President, Charles F. Beek; Vice-Presi- dents, Geo. C. Bogue and Albert Ives, Jr.; Secretary and Treasurer, R. A. Catton; Auditor, T. J. Chamberlain. High salaries paid to some traveling men are the cause of some grumbling among the manufacturers and jobbers. It seems to us that this is grumbling without reason. If amanis a good sales- man, he deserves to be paid so well that he does not lose energy and ambition. Other things being equal, a_ traveling man should be paid higher than an office man of the same caliber. The exposure and discomforts incident to traveling, the breaking up of social relations, some- times ending in the disruption of families are risks for which an added compensa- tion should be paid. o. mM. more than the senedict, the Ionia traveling man, has been superintendent of the Church of Christ Sunday school at that place for twelve years, and church treas- urer for six years. Owing to a change of his route, the church was notified that he could not accept either position again. At the close of the annual business meet- ing, one day last week, Rev. W. H. Scott ealled Mr. Benedict to the front of the audience and in behalf of the church presented him with a beautiful plush cushioned oak rocking chair, stating that it was a token of appreciation of his faithful services to the church for the many years he had servedit. It was a complete surprise to Mr. Benedict, who could only thank the friends for the beautiful gift, which expressed to him so much esteem and confidence on the part of the church.

Regarding the report that the National Cordage Co. had secured control of the rope and binder twine plant of the Amer- ican Manufacturing Co., located in Green- point, the Cordage Trade Journal learns that such an arrangement was consum- ated, and that it took effect on December 1, although the matter has been kept quite secret until the report referred to was printed a fewdaysago. The control was not secured by purchase, but the American company leases its plant to the National company for a term of years. The American Manufacturing Co.’s business is that of manufacturing jute bagging for covering cotton, and it has mills in St. Louis and Charleston, S. C. Only recently it has erected (in fact, it is not yet quite finished) an extensive plant in Greenpoint for the manufacture of this bagging. To this plant was added an extensive mill for the manufacture of rope and binder twine. It is this latter that the National Cordage Co. has secured control of, and in no way does it effect their bagging business. The American Manufacturing Co. now controls about 50 per cent. of the bagging business of the United States, and is constantly increas- ing its capacity. Whether the rope and binder twine machinery will continue to be run or not is a matter of uncertainty. It is said that there is now more machinery in operation than is necessary to supply the demand of thecountry for cordage, and it is not impossible that some of the mills may be shut down. lt is generally understood that an ar- rangement has been made by which the National Cordage Co. secures control of John Good’s plant for the manufacture of rope, located in Ravenswood, and also of his plant in Washington avenue, Brook- lyn, for the manufacture of machinery for rope and binder twine making. It it said that the plants of Mr. Good are leased to the Natioual Cordage Co. for three years, and that a royalty of $150,000 a year is to be paid for the con- trol of the works. It is also reported that the National Cordage Co. has secured control of the cordage plant of John T. Bailey & Co., of Philadelphia, but in an interview pub- lished in a local paper, Mr. Bailey states that this is incorrect, although proposals have been made to them which are under consideration. >_> __ Lansing—Geo.

His cottage was planned by himself and is the pieture of beauty, symmetry and lovliness, and would do credit to our city architects. His barnis an imposing one—a perfect horse palace —and, like his eottage home, has the ear-marks of its designer. After looking these buildings ever, Mr. Thurkow invit- ed me into his store. If I was surprised at such beautiful buildings, a greater surprise awaited me. I expected to see a commonplace sort of a country store, but upon entering the store, I was struck with its appearance, for I beheld evidences of the same thought, ingenuity and constructive ability. Everything was in the very best of order—‘‘a place for everything and everything in its place.”” He has, among many other things too numerous to mention, an in- genious rack for roll oil eloths and win- seeing dow curtains and a set of revolving shoe shelves which holds forty dozen ladies’ and gentlemen’s shoes. Everything evinced neatness and ability and I could but exclaim, ‘‘This beats anything I have ever seen for a country store.”’ O. F. ConKLIN. <-> Country Callers.

Up te the time he | made the purchase he had been consider. | ed a straight, steady and honest fellow. | Dr. Koon had so much confidence in him | as to depart trom his usual eareful busi- him have the taking his indi- ness methods and let without security, merely roods vidual note. Almost immediately after thus striking out for himself he seemed to become first, careless and negligent in business, then wild in his pure hases and dissipated in habits. About two weeks ago, with bills crowding him from every direction, with a prosecution threatenin him for selling drugs without State au- thority, and with the certainty he had reached the end of his business rope, he left, ostensibly on a business trip, and ereditors are now hunting for him. The loss to the widow of the former owner of the stock will, under the cireumstan- ces, be a serious one. io 2 -3- 40 Cydonium.... ... 75@1 00 | Chloroform . 60@ 68 Chenopodium ........ 10@ 12], quibbs .. @1 25 Dipterix Odorsate......2 19@2 20 | Chloral Hyd rst... pion 50 Foeniculum..... ..... @ 15|Chondrus .. @ 25 Foenugreek, po..... 6@ =8i© vine honidine, P, & Ww 15@ 2 eae 4 @4% German 3 @ 12 Lini, grd, (bbl. 3%) 4 @ 4%] Corks, list, dis. per Lobelia. .. 3@ 40) Cent ............... 6 PharlarieCanarian.... 3%@ 4% | Creasotum _........ @ ww Rava ..... 6B 7 Creta, (bbl. 75) a zz Sinapis, Albu..

The first day of January has so long | and so generally been used by civi- lized nations as the point of departure for beginning the year that few people ever think of inquiring into the origin of | its supremacy. Properly, a year being the period of time occupied by the earth in making a single revolution around the sun, one day is as good as another from which to commence it. If there be any choice, it would be in favor of the sum- mer solstice in June, when the sun is the highest in the heavens at noon and the} day the longest, or the winter solstice, in December, when the sun is lowest at noon and the day the shortest. Then, too, there are the equinoxes in March and in September, when the days and nights are of equaliength. Ali these four days have been used by different nations in olden times as New Year’s day, but, as in many other eases, circumstances have brought about divergences from the practice. The Jews still adhere pretty closely to the autumn equinox, and the Christian ecclesiastical year is regulated more or less by that of the spring. Our custom of commencing the year with Jan. 1 was introduced by Julius Cesar, who adopted it because it happened to be the day of the new moon which, at the time, next after the old Roman New Year’s of the winter solstice. Subsequently, the reckoning of the years gradually fell into new confusion, partly followed from imperfect astonomical calculations, but more from the independent lawless- ness of rulers, so that the year, for cen- turies, began on seven different days in different European countries, and even in parts of countries, and it is extremely difficult for an unskilled person to de- termine precisely in what year, accord- ing to our calendar, any historical event in the middle ages happened. Finally, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII, used his au- thority as the head of the Roman Church to straighten things out, but his new re- formed calendar was not adopted by Protestant Germany until 1700, nor by Great Britain until 1752. Oddly enough, the reform, involving, as it did, the dropping of eleven days, so that, for ex- ample, what would have been the 3d of the month was reckoned as the 14th, was extremely unpopular, and it took all of the famous Lord Chesterfield’s tact and persuasiveness to carry it through the British Parliament, while a mob hooted him in the streets, crying out: ‘Give us back the eleven days you have robbed us of!’ Russia has not even yet adopted the new system, and does not keep New Year’s day until the 12th of this month. But, however it came about, our pres- ent New Year’s day is firmly established, not only for historical and legal pur- poses, but also in the world of finance and trade, as the usual day for summing up the results of the past year’s busi- ness, and for the balancing of books pre- paratory for a fresh start. I presume that all of my readers who keep books have by this time got them written up, ready for taking a trial balance.if not for making out a balance sheet. The excep-| tions will be either due to the complexi- ty of the accounts, or what is more com- mon, to the necessity of detecting some error which spoils the symmetry of the trial balance, and profoundly vexes the soul of the book-keeper. 1 well remember how, in my clerking days, an elusive dol- lar, or even a fugitive cent, would give ‘covered it immediately. | too, how an error of a single figure will me hours upon hours of work in hunting for it, and when I found it how I was enraged with myself for not having dis- Itis wonderful, make itself felt in a long account, as the peas in the feather bed were felt by the princess through three other feather beds on top of them, and preved her to be a real princess. I have had so many ex- periences of this sort that I can entirely Sympathize with the steady old book- keeper who went on a spree for the first time in his life because his trial balance came out right as he first made it, with- out requiring any corrections. The sen- sation must have been as exhilarating as it was novel. Railroad companies in this State are reguired to begin their fis- cal year, as the United States Govern- ment does, on the first of July, so this evil day for their book-keepers does not | come yet, and, perhaps, since my time, | some mercantile houses may have adopt- ed the custom of balancing their books | on other days than the first of January, just as many leases are now made to run from the first of February instead of the time-honored first of May of our fore- fathers. Fortunately for the book-keeper, his tribulations begin and end with his fig- ures. Whether the balance to a new ac- count is on one side or the other is all the same to him. It is enough that it is the right balance for making both columns equal. To his employer itis a different thing. Heis concerned with quite an- other result than mere symmetry, and I fancy this year,in a great many instances, the result is far from satisfactory. My business friends in this city tell me that, in point of profits, 1891 has been the worst year they have had for along time. It is not that they have lost so much, but they have gained so little that what losses they have suffered have made an enormous comparative hole in their profits, and left them little to carry for- ward. The recovery which should natur- ally have followed the crash of 1890 has delayed its arrival, and we are only just now beginning to feel it. Disagreeable as it is to face the un- pleasant facts which the balancing of books brings to view, the experience cannot and ought not to be avoided. I even recommend to my friends who are not in business to keep a set of books by double entry for their private affairs,and to balance them once a year, the same as merchants and bankers. Any one who has head enough to deserve and own property at all is able todo this with very little instruction. The advantage of keeping a set of books is that a man by it has his affairs always under his ob- servation as a whole and knows exactly where he stand financially. He sees his income and expenditures side by side, and is warned in time if his expenditure is outrunning his income. So, too, by keeping a separate account for each in- vestment he can tell its value and wheth- er it is worth retaining or whether it should be disposed of. Even so little of | an account as a cash book is better than | none. I once advised a young lady of my acquaintance, when she married and went to housekeeping, to put down in a Bi Of GR G RAPIDS, ALI GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN.

An illiterate person who cannot read and write dispenses with books from necessity, and a genius may do it from choice, but ordinary men had better avail themselves of all the aids to memory at their command. Those of my readers who have strug- gled along with me thus far in my desser- tation are probably expecting me to wind up with the usual hackneyed moral of the application of book-keeping and con- duct, and to speak of the balance that will be struck for each one of us at the Day of Judgment between our good and our evil but I shall disappoint them. 1 believe that good and evil incommensurable—that is, that nature Our old Dutch an- he business conviction clearly Some deeds, are there is no such community of between them that a given quantity of the one can be set off against a given quantity of the other, any anced against color, more than sound can be bal- light. The idea that heaven of a man’s conduct, ing entered on one page and his virtues and his benevolent on the page opposite, originated, 1 believe, with Mo- hammed,and is unworthy of an intelligent Christian. My idea is, that the balance which tells in favor of a man’s character is the preponderance of his his evil inclinations,and that this prepon- derance is not determined by the number of his sins and of his merits. If venture to advice a record is kept in his sins be- actions good over may serious a subject, and one apparently so far re- moved from that of finance, itis not to trust to the expectation that even a sin- gle sin will be nullified by hundreds of The sip may result from a disposition, olfer on so good deeds. predominant whereas the opposite acts may be only factitious and hypocritical.

MATTHEW MARSHALL. >< The Marketing of teen said, is From the Produce Trade Reporter. Few persons who have not given the egg a commercial thought have any idea of the volume of trade when concentrat- ed, or the aggregate value of the product from the hen,and the relationin which she has fought her way to recognition as an |} important factor in furnishing the human family with her product. It is just as necessary for the shipper to take care of this product when in his hands as it is for the farmer to look after his interest. To be Geanctatty asuccessful shipper he must give every attention to details, and first see that the eggs he is forwarding are ‘‘fresh.”’ it is | ' : t is| | many shippers are quite careless in the|’ |employment of help, which in most cases keeping | or sweetness against | The time has | | regard to his true | gone by when rotten,cracked or even stale | eggs can be sold either in large or small quantities at full price, and the shipper who fails to distinguish the difference between old and stale eggs, and persists in packing them with the strictly fresh, only damages his prospects for realizing’ count. | position is that in which you | | What is thus important | producer is usually the very one who is dissatisfied with his returns, and gener- ally most severe in charging those who have received his consignments with earelessness, lack of ability, or some- times dishonesty, in trying to place his goods on the market at the highest price, forgetting that he who originally bought and packed the stock is alone in fault. The change from packing and shipping eggs in barrels and old boxes to that of | the almst universally adopted thirty-doz- jen cases is a great improvement. ‘Too are boys who may mean well enough but lack the experience in packing, often | neglecting to put the required chatt or eut straw on the bottom of the case, or pack the eggs in broken, torn or imper- | fect fillers, which causes breakage in} transit. Or they fasten the lid down} without first placing the long clean straw or other packing on top of the eggs, so that the entire top layers will not break should the case be turned down or given a severe jolt. Every shipper should keep asupply of new fillers on hand to replace any that may become torn or im- pure from broken eggs. The habit of patching up or filling in with any refuse, with the idea that it is a substitute for a new filler, invariably costs the shipper in one shipment for broken and spoiled more than would buy an entire set of fillers. One set will pos- sibly complete one dozen cases at a very small cost, while if the dozen of cases have each one imperfect filler, the break- age of two or three in each case, and the spoiling of as many more, be- sides damaging the appearance of the re- mainder, must be apparent to every ship- per if he gives it a single thought. How many shippers give their egg eases the care required to keep them in good condition? And yet carelessness in this respect is often very expensive to them. Itis not infrequent for the bot- tom to drop out of an egg case, thereby dashing the entire contents to almost to- tal ruin; or for one of the end pieces, whicb are used as handles, to come oft in handling, which will always give the ease a severe fall, with more or less loss to the shipper. And there are many other mishaps of almost daily occurrence which could all be avoided if shippers would only use a hammer and a few nails and give their cases the care they require. The rivalry between shippers in the country is often a serious drawback among the trade, and results disastrous- ly to all who practice it, particularly when each one is bending every effort to pay a higher price to the farmer than the markets allow. Strictly fresh eggs, properly packed in good cases, would never have a ‘‘loss off.’’ except when they are shipped in very warm weather from a distance, or are roughly handled during transportation. Every shipper should know by a careful study of his trade the quality of the stock he buys, and should reject al! imperfect eggs just N. as they are rejected by the city trade and |} consumer. The sooner all shippers Ps adopt this rule the sooner they will ool | | | | eggs up the trade to that perfection its impor- tanee demands. j i — ip — elie Working at a Discount. It is the only way good results can ever be realized. The cierk who is merely worthy his hire will never get any higher.
