LAMOREAUX & G0, Grand Rapids, Mich. and for | for what he All communications and } | that opposites attract. It must have been so in this case, for I was young and reck- less, while he was past the middle age and a quiet, conservative man. In those days few questions were asked as to where a man hailed from and what he had previously been. We sized him up was then. I knew nothing |of Johnson except that he was a hard | ferred solitude to | death and the future state, worker, even tempered and rather pre- company. He had three or four books among his baggage, and those, I learned after his death, were works too deep for the mind of the av- erage miner to grapple with. In a roundabout way I came to under- stand that Johnson had queer ideas about but he never discussed the matter openly. It was my own private belief that he was a little the head, and I also realized that I was not able to cope with his theo- ries mentally. Although almost oppo- site in our ideas, we got along first rate together, and never had the slightest ap- proach to a quarrel. One June day my tentmate was killed by a premature blast, as many a miner had been before. He was dead before anyone reached him, but we could all see how his death had been brought about. Next day we buried him under the only tree on Strawberry Hill, as our camp had been named, and in a week we had al- most ceased to remember him. No one knew where to send his few traps and the little eash he had on hand, and the first were auctioned off and the second held for a claimant. Johnson had been buried about four weeks when the men who were working a claim at the edge of the hill on which his grave had been dug accidently ex- ploded several pounds of powder. No one was hurt, but a portion of the hill was torn away and the coffin unearthed and shattered. When we gathered around it we found it empty! I had helped to lift the dead man into it with my own hands, and had nailed the cover down myself, but the body had disap- peared. There wasn’t the slightest evi- dence that it had ever been put into the rough board coffin. Where had it gone to? There were eighty-four men of us in that camp, which was scores of miles from civilization, and you can imagine our wonder and consternation to find that body missing. We had the grave under our eyes, and no one could say that it had been disturbed. “on” in It was no use tospeculate. There was the empty box, and no man could furnish a reasonable theory as to where the body had gone. The idea of body snatching was absurd. There was no other camp within twelve miles of us. Johnson had been dead twenty-four hours when we buried him. We knocked off work for the day and gathered in groups and talked it over, but when night came the mystery was just as deep asever. Next day thirty men packed up and left Straw- NO. 442, berry Hill for new diggings. There was something so uncanny about the resur- rection that no money could have hired them to remain another night. 1 don’t deny that those of us who remained felt a bit nervous and uncomfortable, but we were doing fairly well in our respective claims and were willing to risk thing by staying. We expected to see Egbert Johnson’s ghost stalk about the camp any night after that, but, as night after night passed away and nothing oc- curred, we gradually came to drop the subject and feel more at our ease. some- lt was, [I believe, on the 18th of June that we buried Johnson. On the night of July 16, close upon midnight, I sud- denly awoke froma sound sleep. I was alone in the tent. and, as it was a warm night, the fly at the door was tied back. This permitted the full moon to light up the interior as bright as day. I lay on my side, facing out, and the first object my eyes rested upon was the familiar form of Egbert Johnson. He sat ona box reading one of his books, and for a moment I forgot that he was dead and buried. He was dressed in his working clothes, as on the day he was killed, and the hand which held the book had one finger wrapped up in a rag, just as I had wrapped it three days before his death to heal a cut accidentally inflicted. I re- peat that it was a full minute before it flashed upon me that Johnson was a dead man, and then I uttered a yell that aroused half the camp and rolled off my bunk and rushed outdoors. In three or four minutes I had thirty men around me making inquiries, but I was so upset that I could only point to the tent whisper Johnson’s name. The crowd moved forward and investigated. The man I saw had disappeared, and I was unmercifully guyed for having an attack of nightmare. Did I see Johnson? Was I really awake? I would have sworn to it a over, and yet not a man in the camp be- lieved my statements. The adult reader won’t; only here and there will any one be found to admit that it might possibly have been so. There has never been a doubt in my mind, however, and it will at least interest you to learn what hap- pened next day. We were drifting into Strawberry Hill again, and it was my turn at the heading. I was detained fif- teen minutes at the tent to sharpen some tools, and a miner named Jackson took my place temporarily. He had not been at work five minutes when there was a fall of rocks and he was crushed to death. His fate would have been mine had I been on time. Did Johnson come to warn me? Some of the miners believed so, and some still declared that 1 had seen nothing. I was undecided, but leaned toward the belief that his visit had some- thing to do with my escape. A month later, as soon as I could do so without exciting ridicule, I left the dig- gings and went to Bald Eagle Gulch, fifty miles away. There were about seventy men on the ground, and I was a stranger to all. I staked outa claim, put up my tent, and was soon a resident of the and dozen times 2 THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. Gulch.

The instant Lopened my eyes I saw Egbert Johnson. In this case my bunk faced the dsor and the fly of the tent was down, while the interior was dark. Where the light came from I shall not attempt to discuss; there was a light, 10wever—a light strong enough to ena- ble me to see the face and figure of my old tentmate. I saw him just as plainly as 1 ever saw a living human being, but Then he faded away and was gone, and, though terribly rattled, I had not cried out.

Sixty hours from araging blizzard to a land of roses and never-ending sun- shine! Such is the wide difference between our changeable Northern climate and the islands of Bermuda, situated but 600 miles east of Charleston. That such a group of islands lying, as they do, so near us are not numbered among the possessions of the United States is the crowning mistake in our life as a nation. Discovered in 1515 by Juan Bermudez, twenty-three years after Columbus’ dis- covery of America, they were at various times visited by daring mariners until 1615, when James I, of England, granted letters patent to a number of English capitalists, who took formal possession under the name of the Bermuda Com- pany. In 1687, the islands passed into the hands of the crown and from that date begins their growth as a military and naval station, until now they are the most impregnable possession of England, with the single exception of Gibraltar. The islands are said to number one for each day in the year, excepting the present one. Only five of this num- ber, however, are of especial importance and they, being connected by causeways and bridges, practically form one island, which, in its entirety, much a gigantic fishhook. At the southwestern extremity is situ- ated the naval department, containing among its many interesting features the floating dock ‘:Bermuda,’’ the largest deck of its kind in the world. On Ireland island, near by, are the works and shops of the naval department, complete in every respect and capable of supplying any ship of the eight which compose Her Majesty’s North America and West Indies fleet, which have their head- quarters here, with anything from a nail to a gatling gun. Hamilton, the beautiful capital of the slands, lies in the secure harbor offered by the curve in the hook, is protected by the many islands standing between it and the and becomes a perfect refuge for the storm-tossed ship. Be- fore reaching this haven of rest, it is necessary to traverse a narrow channel, extending the entire northwest side of the islands, surrounded by submerged coral reefs, of which the islands them- selves are a natural part. What can be a more glorious sight than the early morning sail from St. Georges at the north, to Ireland island at the south, with the green-colored hills spotted here and there by the typical Bermudian homes, built of the white rock which composes this oasis in the sea, with the white roads disappearing in the like threads. Then the noble ship finds her way among the tiny islets, sometimes so close to shore that a peb- ble might be thrown from her side and touch them, until she lies alongside the wharf at Hamilton, the seat of govern- ment. 365, resembles very sea, same distance We find here a population of 15,013, comprising 5,680 white people and 9,33: negroes—not the colored people of the States, but English in voice and manner. The governor of the islands, sent from England, is also commander-in-chief of the military forces, and is assisted by a legislative council and house of assembly occupying quite the same position as our President, Senate and House of Repre- sentatives. The judicial department is | quite the same as the English, with the | Court of Errors as the last resort. By | an act of the legislature of 1872, a sav- | |ings bank, under the supervision of the | local government, was established and | receives deposits from two shillings and | upwards, paying on the same a nominal | | rate of interest. The postoffice assumes |the same functions as our own, adding | | thereto telegraphic communication over | | the islands, being operated by soldiers | |from the royal engineers. An excellent | | telephone system extends the | jislands, requiring something like 500 | over miles of wire for its service. The temperature, ranging, as it does, during the winter months from 65 de- grees to 75 degrees, permits the raising of potatoes, onions (and they are genuine Bermudas), tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, peas, cauliflower, cabbages, car- rots and sweet potatoes. These, with which is a staple product, form the chief articles of export; and, as an example of their dependence upon the United States, it may be stated that in 1889, the exports of the Bermuda Islands to our own country were about beans, arrowroot, $650,000, and to all other countries only $60,000! The about grocery trade is carried on i the manner as with us at home, the dealers buying almost all of their supplies in New York. It might be mentioned that one retail grocery buys = same sugar from the American Sugar Refining Co. in 100 barrel lots. A large number of the smaller inland dealers depend upon the larger Hamilton grocers for the bulk of their supplies. Until 1890, Bermuda was only in com- munication with the outside world by means of a weekly steamer to New York, but now a cable connects it with Halifax, and, although the rate is 84 cents a word to Grand Rapids, address and signature included, it makes the distance thousands of miles shorter. Only nineteen square miles of land, alone in the ocean, removed further from mainland even than St. Helena, but worthy the expenditure by England of millions of pounds sterling for use solely as a coaling and military station, it serves as a lesson to America, who, secure in the time of peace, at the outbreak of trouble finds herself without a sure naval or military station outside of her At- lantic and Pacifie coast.

Then From aGrocery Clerk to a Capitalist. From the Pentwater News. Many of Pentwater’s old settlers re- member Ralph Kellogg and his little gro- cery about twenty years ago. The prin- cipal clerk in his grocery was a young son named Frank. He wasn’t much of a clerk, but even at that age he was ‘‘pizen” onatrade. He would trade jackknives, guns, watches, boats or anything else he could get a proprietary interest in, and in nine cases out of ten he would come out ahead. The most satisfactory day’s work he remembers doing was when he started out in the morning with a jackknife, made three trades and at night had the same knife and fifty cents in money as the result. Pentwater be- came too circumscribed for him and he went to Chicago. A few years there, and we hear of him in large real estate deals, finally as a capitalist. He always had a tender spot for Pentwater and an abiding faith in its future, consequently, he is the owner of considerable property in Pent- water, and to his influence the hotel now being erected here is largely due. He is still a young man, but is very nicely situated. His wife is a very estimable lady, who has borne him a fine family of children. In his home surroundings he is especially blessed, and his greatest pleasure is in enjoying its attractions. ————_ <>-o-<— Prices in Billing Hardware. As a large percentage of the trade have expressed a desire to have goods figured out net, several of the leading jobbing houses in the line of hardware have decided in so far as possible to bill goods at net figures, asit is plain to be seen that it simplifies matters in every re- spect, to say nothing of the additional time consumed in figuring out the net value of an article under a list and dis- count system. The average citizen, as well as a hardware man, would feel that it was a complicated business should he step into the nearest furnishing store, and inquire the price of a flannel shirt, and be told that it was $4 list with 75 and 10 and7}¢ percent. discount. The same is true of a gross of hat and coat hooks or one dozen locks, as all the peo- ple wish to know just what the article is worth net. Since changing to this net system, they have found not only great saving of time of bill clerks, but find that price clerks can do twice the amount of pricing. —— > -- > A Lesson in Labeling. Dispensing medicines in unlabeled bot- tles is inexcusable, but to deliberately affix a misleading label toa parcel should be regarded as a criminal act. The con- sequences to be expected from such a practice are exemplified in the follow- ing note, which recently appeared in current pharmaceutical literature: “A little incident occurred in one of our city drug stores recently which near- ly cost a man his life. The man in ques- tion had been in the habit of getting a bottle filled with gin, and having a label put on it which read ‘Bug Poison.’ All went well until one day a new clerk re- ceived the bottle with the order to fill it, and fill it he did, just as it was labeled, with bug poison. The man received it and took a generous drink from it before he discovered the contents was poison. Some lively work and promptly adminis- tered antidote saved his life. We un- derstand that he has since become a total abstainer.”’ deicncienensant i ><“ Nitrate of Silver. How many drug clerks are aware that official nitrate of silver in sticks contains about five per cent. of chloride of silver? This is intentionally introduced by the addition of hydrochloric acid, to render the sticks more opaque and tough. When the moulded nitrate is treated with water, a residue of insoluble chloride of silver remains. —————< Cheap Yeast.

One of the most unique characters in the mercantile business in Michigan is G. Martini, who conducts a general store at Red Jacket. A native of Italy, he first emigrated to the diamond fields of South Africa, but was unable to achieve suecess in that locality and worked his passage to America, subsequently finding his way to Chicago. Here a friend fitted him out as a seissors grinder and he started northward, with the machine on his back. Arriving at Red Jacket, he found work in one of the mines there, but when the paying clerk came to take his name, the Italian accent was too much for the clerk and the latter exclaimed, “Your name is Mike Murphy; don’t forget, now.’’ And, to this day, many people of Red Jacket call him ‘Big Mike” and ‘‘Mike Murphy,” utterly ignorant of the fact that his real name is Martini. After working a few years in the mines, Martini married a thrifty German girl, and a few years later they opened a little confectionery shop. The business grad- ually expanded and a full line of gro- ceries, notions and toys was added, making the establishment one of the leading features of Red Jacket. Not the least interesting feature of the concern is the proprietor himself, whose ready fund of ancedotes is always on tap. A few years ago, he returned to Italy to visit his mother, when some wag sent him a lettre addressed ‘‘G. Martini, Duke of Michigan.’? This title immediately put him on an excellent social footing in his native country and the remainder of his yisit was crowded with receptions and complimentary balls. The man who goes to Red Jacket without paying his respects to the ‘Duke of Michigan” misses a treat he will afterwards regret. * * * Another peculiar merchant is W. W. Goff, manager of the hardware establish- ment of Hawks Bros & Goff, at Mance- lona. He is about sixty years old, tall, cold and distant—teetotally unapproach- able except by a very few men. His firm has an excellent rating, being worth up- wards of $100,000, and the Mancelona house meets its bills with unusual promptness. He buys nearly all his goods of one house and probably but one man in that house could hold his trade. He is well posted in ancient and modern history and the current events of the day, and converses for hours with intimate friends; but a stranger might as well try to melt an iceberg with a smile as to interest him in something he does not eare to investigate. One of the hardest men in Michigan to do business with is George Schwab, the Spring Lake grocer. Gruff, morose, ec- centric in every respect, he is the terror of the new traveling man, who soon dis- covers that it will require a good many visits to Spring Lake to get on suffi- | ciently friendly terms to sell him. So | long as a customer rematius in the store —no matter if he wants only a cake of yeast—the affable grocer will not look at | a traveling man, and those who cannot | sell him are frank to admit that they do} not possess the key with which more favored salesmen are able to unlock his | heart. i i aim —e For the finest coffees in the world, high | grade teas, spices, etc., see ad.

GoopHART, Mareh 3—The tendency of the times is toward dictating prices others may have for their products. One of the — of trades unions is to dictate the wages which manufacturers are to pay members of the union for their services. ;One of the features of the Grange, the P. of I. and other farmers’ organizations | ‘is to dietate the profits which the middle- men, manufacturers, carriers, etc., are to have for their services and products. The primary object of business men’s associations was to dictate who should and who should not have credit, thus | assuring better profits and less danger of loss to members. The manifest tendency of the whole people is toward dictating, through legis- latures, the rates of passenger and freight traffic, also the telegraph and telephone toll, all of which point to the indubi- table need of only of the whole commercial system of the peo- ple. The moral well-being of the people demands governmental control, and the | United States postal system will furnish the key to the solution of the problem. The attaches have to be quali- fied for the special service each one has to perform. Our State pharmacy law helps also towards the solution. A phar- macist has to have special qualifications, or, rather, suitable qualifications for his special business. The same should be true of every individual who proposes to engage in atrade or profession. Every trade and profession has special features that demand special qualification. Our system of schools as affected by state supervision of teacher’s qualifications is another symbol of the wisdom of govern- mental control. I venture the assertion, without fear of contradiction, that there are no intel- ligent men who, as non-professionals, ever engaged in any of the trades or professions, with or without success at- tending, who will not, if they yield to their honest convictions, agree with me that special features of any trade or pro- need special qualifications, al- though they may not goto the extent of turning over to the government the supervision of those qualifications. So much in deference to Mr. J. W. Baker’s paper, on ship” in a recent issue of THE MAN. Very truly, GIDEON NOEL. _ - » sent free to any dealer or .pplication. ¥.
