Petoskey, Marble- head and Ohio Seeder tee een eee THE CANDIDATE AT BINNACLE. | “If Lonly had Twemlow’s secret of mak- ng a ten-pound sentence weigh a ton,” reflected the Rev. Leander Knox sadly, as he came away from an interview with the secretary of the Committee on Dis- tribution of Ministers. He was a pleasant-faced young man of somewhat slender physique and a quite unnecessary stoop. He had sufficient skillin the making of sermons and an agreeable voice for their delivery. He| was also very much in earnest regarding his work, and thought it the greatest thing in the world to be a worthy minis- ter. But he had one seemingly fatal de- fact. He was unimpressive. The few judicious persons who are the salt of ev- ery congregation found pleasure and prolit in his thoughtful sermons, but the majority slumbered or allowed minds to wander at will. ‘Yes, Mr. Knox,” the Secretary had said, kindly, ‘‘they liked you very well at East Corsica. In fact they came near giving you a call; but there were some— you know there always are some—who thought they wanted a preacher with | more animation.”’ *“*Probably Deacon Cross and Mr. Slo- | bridge,” thought the young minister. | They both closed their eyes when the opening voluntary began and didn’t show any further signs of life until it was time for the last hymn. But he said nothing. He only sighed and looked down at his| carefully polished shoes, both of whieh | showed signs of breaking open at the| their | sides. “Now, the people at Binnacle want a| young man,’ continued the Secretary, briskly and with even more kindliness than before. ‘I think you’d better go | there for next Sunday.”’ *‘Binnacle?” said Mr. Knox, hesitat- ingly, ‘‘that’s quite a distance, isn’t it?” ‘* Oh, yes, it’s along way, clear up the east coast, you know. But you go the whole distance by boat, and the fare is ridiculously low just now.”’ There was a comprehending twinkle in the Secretary’s eye as he spoke. “Thank you,” replied the Rey. Lean- | der, with a sigh of relief. ‘‘I—I shall be glad to go wherever you recommend. | But do you think the people of Binnacle will be less critical of my—my unfortu- | nate lack of animation? ”’ He flushed painfully as he remembered | that it was but a few weeks since he had thought ef East Corsica and Binnacle as | places altogether too small for the exer- cise of his talents. “Why, no,” rejoined the Secretary, eandidly, ‘‘l1 don’t suppose they will. But you see, my dear fellow, there isn’t | going to be a lack of animation any more. | Forewarned is forearmed, of course, and | the impression you will make depends | altogether upon yourself. of good stuff in you. Just give it a} chance to come out. Drop in here when you get back from Binnacle. [ll war- | rant you'll have something good to re- | port. Boat leaves at seven Saturday night.

After that first envious wish for the secret of Twemlow’s oratory, the young minister’s reflections took on 2 more cheerful hue as he walked homeward. His slight figure grew mose erect, and he even whistled a bar or two of a college song under his breath. The Secretary’s words had done him good. He felt a glow of ardor—a desire to prove then and The subject for a sermon particularly ap- propriate to the people of Binnacle flashed into his mind, and its outline be- gan to take shape as he walked. there that those words were true. From that it was easy to pass in imagination to the picture of a well-filled church and the eager faces of people who drank in every word he was preaching. Not a single nodding head or wandering eye, but a breathless intentness through which his voice resounded like the strokes of a bell, waking an echo inevery soul. How glorious it would be to have such power for good! The glowing col- ors of his vision quickly blotted out the remembrance of many listless and un- | Sympathetic audiences. He went eagerly to work upon the ser- mon which was to be his masterpiece. Never before had his mind been so active and illuminated as now. The subject | unfolded itself with wonderful clearness and he was able to clothe his thought in simple but effective phraseology. Il- lustration and anecdote and apt quota- tion came crowding upon him as he It was a theme which had been a long time ripening in his mind, and un- der the stimulus of new hope he poured out his soul upon the paper with a fiery energy which astonished even himself. “There!” said he, as he flung down the pen and clasped his hands, with excitement, above his trembling head. 7 know there’s ‘go’ enough in that sermon, and if I don’t stick my miserable self in between it and the people next Sunday morning it will do some good.’’ And then he went to bed and dreamed that the people of Binnacle were so de- termined to have him for their minister that they put their church upon a raft |} and chased him with it all up and down | the Atlantic coast, giving him ‘‘a call’’ through an enormous speaking trumpet every time they came within hailing dis- tance. It was a pity that this high tide of hope and courage could not have lasted; but by the time Rey. Leander Knox stepped on board the steamer on Saturday night lall his feelings were at low ebb, and there was a large area of psychological mud flat second-rate Food at the boarding-house, which he more than passable, had been particularly unsavory that week. He had eaten but little, and was faint for lack of nourishment. He had the beginning of a bad headache. He was disgusted with his sermon, with himself, and, by anticipation, with the people of Binnacle, who would be sure to’ criticise. “I know I shall make the flattest kind in plain view. patronized, never anything 2 THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN: of failure to-morrow,’’ was his gloomy reflection as he took a seat on the upper deck. He had been just in time to se- cure a stateroom and there was a long line of tired and perspiring men stretch- ing away from the purser’s window who were doomed to disappointment. These late comers must either sit up all night, or seek the hospitality of the ‘‘gentle- men’s cabin.”’ The mercury was at ninety and many of the passengers had an unwashed appearance. People with sensitive noses would probably choose to sit up.

There was | @ woman with a babyin the next section, and he was shy of babies. The mere recollection of a terrible infant that had sat next him in the horse-cars the week before made him turn hot. But he was tired and must sit some- where. He looked hard at the baby to make sure that it was asleep, and not | immediately dangerous, before he dropped into the vacant seat, and then he sat up very straight and stiff, so as not to touch seemed to notice his attitude and drew timidly back as far as she could. Knox had been sointent upon the baby that he had not really looked at her before. He felt a pang of dismay as he glanced down into her death-like face. She was a poor pinched little creature, dressed in coarse and shabby black. Her hair, of no particular color, was strained sunken, blue-veined temples, her ears were almost transparent and her little mouth, close shut as if with pain, showed only a slender line of livid blue. There was a look of dull misery in her pale eyes, as shé made a feeble effort to draw herself back out of the way. The baby lay across her lap, wrapped in a faded shawl. It moaned slightly when she moved, but did not cry out. Its eyes were open, or partly so, and even the young minister’s unpracticed glance could see that it was in asort of stupor very different from healthful sleep. He forgot that he was afraid of babies the young mother on the arm. ‘“‘Madam,”’’ said he, ‘‘your child seems very ill. Can’tI get something for it— 979 mother or you: She seemed surprised at his interest but not particularly grateful. ““No,”’ said she, *‘I don’t want nothin’ she closed her eyes as if she were not desirous of further conversation. with an| j and touched | matter drop. He looked intently at the child and ventured to touch one of the poor little hands that lay on the outsic te | of the faded shawl. “I think,’ said he gently, }and your little one ought to be getting some sleep—with that long journey to St. John before you. Shall I call the | your stateroom?” “I didn’t git no stateroom, the woman. ‘Staterooms is fer them | | that can afford to pay fer’em. ’Twas all | |I could do to buy the tickets fer me an’ | my husban’.” “Your husband?” said ” replied | ingly. “Yes, I’m takin’ his body back to St. John,’’ was the answer. ‘‘We’ve been no luck.

In a moment, however, stirred by some vague-impulse of Daniel’s memory. “Not but what he was a smart man an’ a strivin’ one, in spite of all his bad luck with fire an’ hoppers an’ cyclones, until he ketched the fever ’n’ ager. That} seemed ter sorter shake the life all outen him, an’ he was glad to jest die an’ git rid of worryin’.’’ The woman’s tired, matter-of-fact tone stirred Knox more profoundly than sobs and cries could have done. It told of a misery too complete for ordinary mani- festation. Wretchedness had fairly de- stroyed her sensibilities. She was past she went on, justice to feeling anything except weariness, and was not roused to any show of interest when he spoke of the alarming condition of her child, “‘Yes,’’ said she listlessly, ‘‘I s’ pose it’s pooty sick. an’ ain’t never ’T was sick when ’twas born well since. I man- aged to git somethin’ for it ter eat until this mornin’, but we ain’t either of us had nothin’ ee: P’r’aps that’s partly what’s ailin’ of it.’ The young man sprang to his feet. ‘“*“Good heavens!’? thought he, ‘there have I been pitying myself because of the hard fare at Mrs. MceTaggart’s, while these poor things were starving to death. It’s lucky that I have a stateroom.” His mind was working so fast as he walked away that he could not stop for connec- tion between his ideas. A moment later he was back, fat yellow stewardess. ‘Come, chile!” said she, bending over the forlorn little widow, ‘‘come with me.

Knox marched off with the baby, without | a blush, in spite of the many curious eyes that were watching. “Get them whatever they been with the like—tea ,;| and toast and a nice piece of beefsteak and plenty of milk for the baby,” said he, as he handed his shawl-wrapped bundle | ’eept to git through to St. John; and | in through the door of the stateroom. ‘“‘How kind people are!” he thought The voluble stewardess had Knox was as a rule easily rebuffed, but | | overflowed with expressions of pity for hes himself.

Cheese, which has been the fortune of | Roquefort, has destroyed its picturesque- | ness. It has brought speculators there | who have raised great ugly, square build- ings of dazzling whiteness in harsh con- trast with the character and somber tone of the old houses. Although the place is so small that it consists of only one street and a few alleys, the more ancient dwellings are remarkable for their height. It is surprising to see in a village lost sterile hills, houses stories high. The fact that thereisonlya ledge on which to build must be the ex- planation. What is more curious in the place is the cellars. Before the cheese became an important article of commerce these were natural caverns, such as are everywhere to be found in this calear- eous formation; but now they are realiy cellars that have been excavated to such a depth in the rock that they are to be} seen in as many as five stages, where long rows of cheese are stacked one over the other. The virtue of these cellars from the cheesemaking point of view is their dryness and their scarcely varying temperature of about eight degrees cent- igrade summer and winter. But the demand for Roquefort cheese has become so great that trickery now plays a part in the ripening process. The peasants have learned that ‘‘time is money,’’ and they have found that bread crumbs mixed with the curd cause those green stacks of moldiness, which denote that the cheese is fit for the market, to appear much more readily than was formerly the case, when it was left to do the best it could for itself with the aid of a subterranean atmosphere. This is not exactly cheating; it is commercial enter- prise, the result of competition and other circumstances too strong for poor human nature. In cheesemaking, bread crumbs are found to be a cheap substitute for time; and it is said that those who have taken to beer brewing have found that box, which is the commonest of shrubs, is a cheap substitute for hops. The notion that brass pins are stuck into Roquefort cheese to make it turn green is founded on fiction. — > eo — Poverty may be a blessing, butit is one of the blessings we are quite willing the other fellow should enjoy. en Use Tradesmanor Superior Cowpons.

De Ville, Jr., has sold his meat market at 507 Ottawa street to Mc- Guire & Flory, who will continue the business. The Hester Machinery Co. has sold the O. E. Brown Milling Co. a 15 horse power Eddy motor and shipped a boiler and engine to H. Pierce & Son, who are put- ting in a planing mill at Watervliet. C. Dogger, formerly engaged in the grocery business at 327 East Bridge street, has leased the store building at the corner of Lyon and Houseman streets —formerly occupied by J. L. & W. Pur- chase—and will occupy it with a grocery stock, supplied by the Olney & Judson Grocer Co. A. E. Brooks & Co.’s office and fruit and confectionery stock were completely destroyed by fire last Saturday night. The manufacturing department was only slightly injured. The insurance is prob- ably ample to cover the loss and, in case the adjustment is made promptly and liberally, the firm will probably resume business in the course of a couple of weeks. C. H. Chadwick, grocer at 144 West Fulton street, recently turned his stock, fixtures, book accounts, horse, wagon and cart over to the Ball-Barnhart-Putman Co. on a bill of sale. E. J. Gillies & Co., of York, thereupon garnished the com- pany on aclaim of $140 and the garnishee defendants made a disclosure, showing their claim of $400 to be satisfied by the proceeds from the stock and fixtures, and offering to terminate the proceedings by turning over the horse, wagon and cart to Gillies & Co. The proposition accepted. was —_-—-.-—> Purely Personal. Sidney F. Stevens and wife have re- turned home after a fortnight’s outing at the Northern resorts, F. H. McDonough, Michigan manager for Sprague’s Collecting Agency, is spend- ing a couple of weeks in Detroit. L. C. Granger, the Charlotte general dealer, was in town last Friday on his usual monthly pilgrimage to the Grand Rapids market. Carl Hester, member of the Hester Machinery Co., is rejoicing over the advent of an 8 pound daughter, who introduced herself last Wednesday. Ludwig Winternitz, formerly a resi- dent of this city, but now General Agent for the Fermentum Compressed Yeast, with headquarters at Chicago, is in town for a day or two. Geo. Medes, formerly book-keeper for Jennings & Smith, but for the past year in charge of the lumber operations of D. | W. McNaughton, at McNaughton, Wis., has returned to Grand Rapids to take a | position and partnership interest in the | new wholesale boot and shoe house of | Herold, Bertsch & Co. H. D. C. Van Asmus has been appoint- ed General Manager of the Valley City Transportation Co. and will devote con- siderable attention hereafter to working | up freight for the steamer Valley City. Mr. Van Asmus presents cegent reasons junior THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. why the shippers of the city should make | the tonnage on the river as large as pos- sible, to ensure the favorable action of | Congress when the needed appropria- | tion to improve navigation is asked for. | Mr. Van Asmus’ long experience in the | railroad business renders him peculiarly | fitted to assume such an undertaking. a The Grocery Market. Sngar—While there has been no change in price during the past week, the tendency is decidedly firm, in sympathy with raw sugars, and an advance is by no means improbable. Coffee—Rio grades have advanced te and the manufacturers of package goods have followed the market with a similar advance. Dried Fruits—Dates are inactive and nominally steady. New Smyrna figs are on their way tothis country and will probably reach this market in about 20 days. Prunes continue quiet and steady. New Valencia raisins are expected to reach Grand Rapids about Sept. 20. On- daras will sell for 9!¢e and common Valencias for 8'ge. In domestic fruits, dried apples are a little depressed East, due to the fact that New York crop pros- pects on apples have considerably im- proved of late. Provisions — Pork changed. steady. Spices— Pepper continues firm. Pi- mento is in light supply and in good de- mand. Oranges—Owing to high prices and poor quality, jobbers have made no pre- tense to keeping this fruit in stock, so that it is practically out of market. Lemons—Continue searce and high. Bananas—In fair supply at about the same prices as a week ago. >? > How Country Merchants Should Buy Butter. is quiet and un- Cut meats are easier. Beef is Correspondence Canadian Grocer. As the plan which I have adopted in taking butter from farmers has been very successful, several merchants have asked me to explain it to them, which I gladly do for tworeasons, namely: To try and raise the standard of butter in sections where there are no creameries, and to prevent the country merchants from losing every summer what is made the balance of the year. I distribute among my customers one- gallon stone crocks, which cost 10 cents each and hold from 8 to 9 pounds of butter. This I consider the best size, as one churning will fill it, therefore there will be only one quality in each. Then it is clean, and will not taint the bntter, is light and easy to handle, and, in re- tailing, a family would buy it where they would not think of taking a larger one. It always saves to a considerable extent, the loss occasioned by weighing out in small quantities. When these crocks are brougbt in filled I put a label on them and fill in the name of the maker, not forgetting to let the maker know that her name is on the butter, If sheallows the name to be put on, she gets the highest price; if not, a reduction of 2 or 3 cents is made. In this way every woman judges her own butter. For example: One week last fall the weather was very hot, and it was hard to make good butter. One of my best customers, on coming in the following week, said: ‘I did not bring my butter last week; it was not as nice as I would like to have my name on. Therefore I took it over to and got sugar for it.’’ l know several farmers’ wives, who, previous to adopting this plan, made very ordinary butter, but now they do their best to make a good article, as their repu- tation is at stake. If an inferior article is made, it goes to my neighbor. I don’t want it, and the maker does not want me | have to re-pack, they get 2 cents less per to have it. To force them to take the crocks 1| make a differenae in price. If in tubs, | pails, rolls or in any shape where I would pound. Last August to commence with, I bought 100 crocks, and in a short time 200 more. I have now 800 one-gallon erocks in circulation. Another ad- vantage is, that it does away with the old plan of having butter brought to the store in tubs, pails, tins or rolls, which was all thrown in a heap, regardless of color or quality, and packed when the clerk had time. I can get 2 cents per pound more for this butter,-as buyers can depend on getting a good article. Ne From Out of Town.

Tete ie das Clearly Marked Prices. J. M. Batchelor in Dry Goods Bulletin. Secret markings for describing the cost and selling prices of goods in coun- try stores, while some storekeepers pre- fer such a method on account of the| privacy of doing business in that way, are not recommended by numerous mer- | chants in the larger cities. This latter | class claim that there is more profit in|! an open display of at least the selling price; and a few go so far as to confess the truthful margin of profit to anyone who in good faith chooses to ask for it. Stores which confess profits to customers are among the largest in the East, and their managements say frankness in this particular tends to attract the class of trade they desire most, that of honestly disposed people. Whether it is advisable to go so far as this, on general principles, may be an | open question, but it is pretty well es-| tablished that it pays to mark all goods, | so far as their selling price is concerned, | in plain figures which any customer can | see withomt asking the question of the salesman. The reasons for this practice are that the customer in seeing the price plainly marked feels assured that he is | not being deceived by the salesman and no advantage is being taken of him or her because they happen at the moment to be wearing pretty good clothes. This latter particular, as odd as it may appear, is a feeling which prevails more or less among the whole people. Ninety- nine out of every hundred customers, who are not overburdened with wealth, instinctively feel, when they go to price or buy anything, it is not proper to go too well dressed; and we Know of numer- ous well dressed ladies who positively re- fuse to enter a store to make any impor- tant pure hase if they are wearing their best clothes when in the vicinity of the store, or if they do enter one, they will select a store, if it is to be found, where the prices are invariable and plainly marked so anybody can read them. | Customers feel this way because of an old practice in former years by a certain class of more or less unscrupulous deal- ers who “sized up” a ecustomer and packed the price on according to ap- pearances. While this usage is still in vogue witha certain class of Shylocks who should be shunned by honest people, the system, so far as it prevailed as such, has practically been abolished; never- theless, mothers remember the old abuse and frequently warn the members of their families not to enter a store too well dressed. Plain marking of the selling price re- moves at once ail this peculiar dread, and assures the customer that he is get- | ting as good terms as anybody. People | do so hate to be cheated that everything done by the storekeeper calculated to re- move all agitation on this subject eventu- | aily redounds to his credit. > Old Discount Rates Re-established. The leading wholesale dry goods mer- | chants of New York and Philadelphia |} have entered into an agreement to re- | establish their old discount rates, and have issued the following circular to the retail trade and to other wholesalers: Please take notice that discounts on all purchases or contracts made hereafter shall be as follows: On net 30 day bills, days.

VPRO Pre ese ee ee THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. 7 The Rights of Labor and the Laws of the Land. The laws of this country are the fair- est, the most reasonable and the most just laws that history records. The princi- ples which they embody are those which have been recognized as fair and just by all civilized nations in all ages, by the best and ablest men in those nations, and also by the great religious leaders and organizers of the world. The lib- erty of the individual and the welfare of the state are the two chief interests of all just laws and all good government. These two interests are cared for in this country more carefully and intelligently than they have been or are in any other. This is proved by the fact that to get an anarchist we have to import him ready made. The sunshine of our laws and customs is too genial for their breeding here. It is also proved by the fact that hundreds of thousands, yes, millions of men, since we became a nation, have un- der our laws developed their lives from a low beginning in ignorance, and obscurity into intelligence, useful- ness and prosperity. Itis not under bad laws that such things can be done. It is only reasonable, therefore, that labor organizations should be urged not only to obey the laws of the land, but to teach their adherents that to obey these laws is their first and most important duty. The weakness of these organiza- tions has been, and is to-day, that they claim—not in words, perhaps, but in acts—that the organization of wage work- ers into unions gives them certain ‘rights’? not before possessed. The leaders of labor unions can engage in no better work than to teach their followers that whatever claim of ‘‘rights’’ cannot be enforced under the law is not right, and must be abandoned. If this had been done by labor union leaders, the twelve men who were recently shot to death at Homestead would be alive to- day, and the red smear of murder would not appear on so many pages of the his- tory of labor unions. One of the facts which organized labor would do well to understand is that un- der the laws of this country a man may work for whom he pleases and for any price that may be agreed on between him and his employer, and that the em- ployer may at any time cease to employ him and hire someone else in his place. Employes and employers have precisely equal rights in these matters. Another fact equally important is that the law will punish the man who, by physical force, prevents another from working. To dosois a lawless act, and that it is done by or for the benefit of organized labor makes no difference. The law does not take cognizance of organized labor any more than it does of red-haired or temperance or catholic or protestant labor. And not only the law of the land, but also the sentiment of right-thinking people everywhere makes it an evil and an inexcusable act to prevent the man who needs work and wants to work from doing so. How much sympathy for la- bor is there in the sentiment which beats a man black and blue when he applies for the work the wages of which his hun- gry family needs—because he does not belong to aunion? What sort of charity would that be which would refuse help to a starving child unless it was enrolled in some Sunday school mission class? Still another point to be learned by poverty | Cast Loose Pin, figured combinations of labor is that they cannot! ~ = 8 claim from the law the same recognition which it gives to employers until they be- come equally responsible before the law.

In such a case the employer has no remedy. The labor union insists | on being ‘‘recognized,’’ and uses all lawful and even many unlawful means to seeure recognition, and yet has noth- | ing of that responsibility before the law | upon which only, can one business con- | cern recognize another. When the law | compels labor unions to become pecuni- arily responsible for their actions, some phases of the labor question will be set- | tled.

A German grocer thus relates how he meets competition: ‘‘Mrs. Jones she has been buying eferydings fon me, but by once she shtop und buy fon Meester Brown (dot’s my neighbor). Vell von day she coom in my shtore mit a bucket pickles on her arm, and ven I ask her vere she buys dem, she say ‘by Brown, und I get em fer 5 cents per dozen’ (dot’s sheaper as I can sold em), but ven she turn her back around I yoost take three of dem pickles out her bucket und put em in an egg case. Den I say: ‘Lady, yoost tumble dem pickles out here on de counter once; I like to see of Brown can sell you von dozen pickles for 5 cents; and ven I count joost nine pickles, she say: ‘Jeeminently, dot shwindler; I ney- er go by his shtore any more!’ She buys fon me now all de times, sometimes two times in von day.”’ ——— ae —-O Card from Mr. Church. GRAND RaApips, Aug. 26—An item in your last issue practically describes our new Alabastine as being a kalsomine, making it necessary for me to ask you to correct it. It is true that improvements have been made within the last year which enable us to now mix Alabastine and Plastico in cold water, instead of boiling water, which was necessary here- tofore, as with all other ready prepared goods for tinting walls, but instead of making it remain in solution for a num- ber of days, as all kalsomines do, it re- tains its original cementing properties, and the user can mix with water only what he requires for the day’s use. The mixing with cold water also does away with the necessity of mixing it until needed for use. M. B. Cuurcnu, General Manager Alabastine Co. Hardware Price Current.

A vast amount of gold has been taken out of the earth within the century now nearly at its close, and it will be interesting to attempt to trace it. The United States did not count much as a producer of gold until after the discoy- ery of the mines in California. Since then and up to the beginning of the year loss. 1892, we find the total production of gold When the burning and rioting take| in the Union to be $1,900,000,000.

The mint re- port for 1891 shows that the total amount of gold, in coin and bars, in the United States on the last day of December, 1891, was $688,665,211. do military duty. 20.000 militia in the field.

For He has helped to} create the wealth that establishes the | goldsmiths for plate and jewelry, and by goldbeaters for dentists’ foil and guilders’ leaf. Therefore out of $1,900,000,000 of gold produced in the United States up to the end of 1891, it was held that only about $689,000,000 remained in the coun- try in the form of coin and bullion, while the enormous sum of $1,211,000,000 had entirely disappeared. Where can it be? Without doubt a great deal of it was sent to Europe. We have the Govern- ment official returns. from 1843 to the end of 1891 in excess of imports, of $470,000,000. This amount deducted, from the remainder of $1,211,- 000,000, would leavea balance of $741,- 000,000. Here, then, is the enormous amount of $741,000,000, in gold, which cannot be accounted for. How much of it is hid away in odd corners, in the old stockings of frugal housewives, in the hoards of mis- ers? The people must have a large amount of gold coin so secreted. Hand- fulls of gold pieces treasured in broken teapotsand other such receptacles, and even iron pots full are sometimes dug up where they were buried and forgotten. It would not be surprising if more than a hundred millions of gold were so hid- den away by the people. Then, there is a large amount in plate and ornaments, watches, jewelry, and in other forms in which gold is consnmed. But how much is sunk in the sea, in rivers, in lakes, by the wreck and burning of vessels? No- body can answer. The most of this is probably lost forever. They show exports SOCIAL RESTRAINT AND NATU- RALISM. In this age, which has been specially designated as the era of woman’s eman- cipation, we encounter a direct effort on the part of the emancipators, so-called, to destroy all the romance, poetry and sentimental association with which the female sex has been associated and sur- rounded in most countries, save those inhabited by savages. We have recently been told by physi- ologists that notwithstanding they are rated as the softer sex, are not women, by any means as sensitive to pain as are men. Still another class of physiologists tell us that women are not as sensitive to odors snd perfumes as are men. Now come the criminologists, who declare that women are by nature, physical and moral, just as prone and ready to com- mit crimes as are men but for the re- straining influence of social environment. Since the actual statistics show that in most countries women are from three times to ten times as free from shocking and outrageous crimes as men, we have been always ready to impute this to superior moral qualities; but if we are to believe the new expounders of demo- logical science, then we must look for- ward to the complete emancipation of the gentler sex with many misgivings. But if the emancipation of women | from social restraints is to exert so radi- | cal an effect upon her moral nature, what | will be its effect upon man? If women |are only better than men through the restraints and limitations of social or- | ganization, and it is certain that men are | largely restrained by their love and re- | spect for women, it will result that when |; woman shall be permitted to become as |evil as her nature will permit, she will | cease through her superior goodness and | purity to exert any restraining influence Without the sheet anchor |upon men. that men will grow as much worse as it is possible for them to become. But the scientists, who are claiming that there are no higher laws than those ‘ physical evolution and no light clearer and more potential in its illuminating qualities than that of nature, teach that when men and women shall conform wholly to the dictates of nature they will no longer need the artificial restraint of social regulation. This is doubtless true, for the beasts which livé in a perfect state of nature need no such restraint. If the human race could be brought to that condition men and women would be able to live without either morals or re- ligion like the beasts which perish, real- izing the dreams of the scientists and apostles of modern naturalism. But at this state of the development social re- straints are eminently necessary. THE INCONGRUITY OF ARBITRATION. The idea of arbitration, as a means of adjusting confli#ts between employer and employe, is rapidly growing into disfavor, as conservative men look upon it as an unwarranted interference with the rights of both parties to a controversy. To be just and intelligent, arbitration must in- volve a knowledge of the business on the part of arbitrators, superior to that of both parties to the controversy. Where is this qualification to be found? And when an employer is already paying all the business will warrant and all the employe is worth to that business, there is no middle ground between the existing rate of wages and the demands of striking workmen. To insist on ar- bitration, in such cases, is equivalent to the introduction of socialism. Arbitration, however, has its legiti- mate field and uses. It may often be profitably employed to save lawyers’ fees and the befogging influences of lawyers’ pleas. But its use is never pertinent or practically possible in any case that could not be the subject of- legal dis- cussion; and there are few who will con- tend that the price of work, any more than the price of wheat, shall be decided by law. Not all union men are murderers, but nearly all the murders nowadays are committed by union men in the name of unionism. Shoe and Leather Review: “A drum- mer is never certain of the reception which will be accorded him when he first presents himself to a stranger. Many otherwise considerate business men will give a traveling salesman scant and often brusque treatment, if they are not in need of his particular line or if, as is often the case with some houses, con- tracts for the season have been let, and further purchases are out of the question. Often the individual who accords the salesman almost brutal treatment, has his own representatives on the road, and if he would only consider the annual ex- penses he is under in maintaining such a representation, he would feel more char- itable toward the representatives of houses which solicit his business. Some men have the faculty of receiving a | traveler in a kindly spirit and dismiss- | ing them promptly in an equally affable though positive manner, if not in the |market for goods at the time. A sales- | man carries away with him a respect for such a man—which does not cost the lat- | ter a cent and brings to him the good- | will of others which often, indirectly, | that woman’s influence now is, it is plain | contributes to success.” v THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. 9 JIM ALLSPICE. Pertinent Hints to Landlords and Hotel Clerks. Written for THE TRADESMAN. The traveling man—sitting on the ho- tel veranda, lollying in a chair, with his feet resting on the rail, picking his teeth —is not always there of his own choice, and he may not be removing the rem- nants of a choice meal. There are hotels, taverns and stopping places, which trav- eling men live in, stop at, or by dire necessity are compelled to take up with. After fourteen years experience on the road I am of the opinion that the average hotel man has not solved the keynote or | the route to a traveling man’s wants or his pocketbook. Traveling men are born like most other human beings and they can all recall | their boyhood days, when good bread and butter on mother’s table, with the | occasional addition of a little ‘‘lasses” or | honey, was a banquet. We were in high feather with a big yellow bowl of mush | and milk and we could get to bed with- | out a pitcher of ice water or a call at} 7a.m. Traveling men who have homes | do not ask their wives for milk toast, | iced tea, rare done steak, fried eggs | flipped or two kinds of pie and one of | pudding; but we are contented to sit| down to bacon and liver, Johnny cake, | boiled potatoes and a cup of coffee. Why ? Because they are properly cooked. It | is not the quantity put on the hotel} table, nor the variety; the way to a man’s | pocketbook is through his stomach. When | a traveling man enters a dining room in the morning, he is not generally at his | best and would not care to be called out | on dress parade. If he has any doubts | about the paternity of the butter or his suspicions are aroused as to the mixture of the coffee or the lard the eggs are fried in, it will not do to approach him | and very abruptly call out ‘‘Beefsteak or | liver?”’ in acold, far away voice, as he} may be still suffering from an attack of sitting up late with friends studying the | fine points of a ‘‘game of chance,’’ or he | may have been on the late train and did not get his rest as usual. If the dining room girl would quietly smooth down the table cloth, lay out a clean, crisp | napkin, place the pickle bottle in close | range, pour out a glass of ice water and sweetly remark ‘‘Poached eggs on toast —or will you have some fruit or raw) oysters?” her chances for marrying and} becoming a princess would thousand fold; but ‘‘Beefsteak or liver’’ | sounds as harsh and sickening as grind- | stones and increase a whetstones; and oftentimes | when a worn-out traveler boldly resents | the everyday bill of fare and mildly sug- | gests to the pert young goddess who is waiting on him that his inner man de- | mands an occasional change, why is it the girl and the cook put him down asa crank or a big nuisance when he orders | a little milk toast or a couple of soft boiled eggs and a little dipped toast, | instead of the tough leathery piece of steak and a plate of raw cakes and corn syrup? We are all human and the ay- erage bill of a traveler is not less than $2 aday and no kicking. The alleged honest farmer sits beside you and eats a full regulation meal for a quarter and the steady boarder puts in the week eat-| ing at the same table at an average of $5 a week; but he works generally at the store where the groceries are bought. | Now, a traveler does not want the earth, | | as there are plenty of capitalists ahead | | peace with himself, neighbor and Maker. | calls the whole } — . | tising mediums for a well-kept hotel and | the victory of the strikers. best part of his time, it is not at all strange that the boys should into being ‘‘particular’’ people. With what feelings of relief the trav- | eler makes his run for his Sunday hotel, or, as it might be, his home fora day! What draws him there, maybe off his regular route? They make it pleasant for him; appreciate his presence as well as his money; he has bread with butter on both sides, if he wants it; everybody | from the landlord to the porter is glad | to see him; he can sit down for a day and forget the trials and tribulations of everyday, life, and feel at of him; but, as the hotel is his home the develop humdrum All hotels are not alike, but, like the | flowing spring in the desert, a good hotel is duly appreciated by the generally tired | and well-worn traveling man. There are hotel clerks and would be clerks at hotels. The genuine article is always on deck, greets you on your ar- rival by tossing out your mail, puts you down for No. 9 or the other best room in the house, quietly tells you who is there in your line, and you are at home inside of five minutes. When you leave, he makes your change for your bill with all the swiftness of a circus ticket seller. The fiend of the hotel is the old-time ealler for early trains. He generally floor in routing out one man, and 5 to7 a. m. means, according to his notion, one call and only a waste of time to go the rounds more than once. Traveling men are not generally kick- ers and no one appreciates good treat- ment, good, clean beds and good meals, and gives up his money more cheerfully, and proves to be one of the best adver- landlord than the much misrepresented traveling man. Jim ALLSPICE. — - ——~> -0 <= ___—__- The Nation’s Strike Record. Since 1880 the government has issued report of strikes. Between 1880, according to this report, a good whole-souled an annual 1796 and 1,491 important strikes occurred, besides times that number of small ones. From Jan. 1, 1881, to December 25, 1886, there were 3,902 strikes, involving 1,323,- many 203 men and 22,304 business firms. In the last named year were 1,90v strikes that caused a wage loss of $2,858,191 to the men and $3,000,000 to the employers. So far this year, 827 strikes have been reported, only six of which resulted in In the light of such a record, the work- man who obeys the mandate of the mas- ter workman or strike committee—who order strikes for the sake of inflating their own importance and lining their own pockets with the contributions which pour in to assist the strikers, but never reach them—deserves the humilia- tion, starvation and defeat which awaits him. >_> - Electric Fan for Office Use. Fan motors are becoming almost as | common for general purposes as is the telephone. In many well regulated of- | fices one or more of these little machines | will be found running at a speed varying from 800 revolutions to 2,000 revolutions | per minute, and thereby cooling the air | and greatly reducing the stifling temper- ature of the room. Office work with the | mercury on the top rungs of the ladder | has been changed from drugery to a) pleasant occupation by means of this} little device. No invention of modern | times has done more to make the hot weather bearable than has the fan motor. JOBBING GOODS. TRADE WINNERS All Goods Manufactured by Us. Quality the Best! Purity Guaranteed!

The method adopted was as fol- lows: An aqueous extract of the cheese was made and filtered through heavy er paper. The filtrate, which Swedish filt was strongly acid, was rendered slightly alkaline then agitated with After separation the ether was and ether. removed with pipette and allowed to evaporate spontaneously.

I have named this substance tyrotoxi- con (cheese poison). It gives with pot- assium, ferricyanide and ferric chloride, Prussian blue. It also reduces iodic acid. The ordinary alkaloidal reagents fail to precipitate it. The crystals have a pene- trating old cheesy odor, and it is inter- esting in this connection to state that Husemann and Bohm have both observed this odor in poisonous sausage. If the crystals be allowed to stand at ordinary temperature they decompose with the formation of an organic acid, whose nature has not been determined, A few drops of an aqueous solution of the symptoms observed in these crystals placed the those who had been made sick by eating of the cheese. upon tongue produces all This was tried repeatedly ipon myself and upon some of my stu- dents who kindly offered themselves for experimentation. Drugs # Medicines. | In November, 1885, a student brought |me a four-ounce bottle partly filled with | milk which had stood tightly closed with a glass stopper for about six months. | From this I succeeded in obtaining a |trace of the poison. Afterwards, I ob- tained from a gallon of milk which had stood for three months in a closed bottle, some of the crystals. Ten drops of an old, caused, within a few minutes, froth- |ing at the mouth, retching, the vomiting |of a frothy fluid, muscular spasms over the abdomen, and after some hours watery |stools. The next day the dog seemed to | have partially recovered but was unable ito retain any food. This condition con- tinuing for two or three days, the animal | was killed with chloroform. No exam- jination of the stomach was made. This stpeiiniaind with the dog shows that the | lower animals are subject to the influence lof the poison, and the only reason why | no symptoms have been produced in cats | and dogs by feeding them cheese is that in the quantity of cheese which they will eat they do not get enough of the poison to affect them. June 13, 1 received from Dr. Henry B. Baker, secretary of the Michi- gan State Board of Health, a pint bottle about two-thirds full of melted ice-cream, with the request that I analyze it, as some eighteen persons had been seriously affected by eatingit. Dr. Baker also sent some of the vanilla which had been used as flavoring. It was thought that the poison would be found in the vanilla, as some lemon cream, furnished by the same caterer, had not affected those who ate of it. As the readiest and most positive means of deciding this, my assistant, Mr. Novie, and myself took at first thirty drops each of the vanilla extract. No ill effects following this, Mr. Novie took two teaspoonfuls more, with no results. This settled the question of the supposed poisonous nature of the vanilla. From this ice-cream, proceeding as with the cheese, I obtained crystals of tyrotoxicon, and with them produced nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea in a cat. After 24 hours these symptoms in the cat had subsided, but it was still unable to eat anything. Three days later the ani- mal was placed under the influence of 1886, ether and its abdomen was opened. We certainly expected to find marked in- flammation of the stomach. But we really did find the stomach and small intestines filled with a frothy, serous as had formed the vomited matter, and the mucous membrane very white and soft. There was not the slightest redness anywhere. The liver and other abdominal organs seemed to normal. It may be remarked that this condition of the cat’s stomach cor- responds with that so often observed in children after death from cholera-infan- tum. The custard of which this cream was made was allowed to stand in a very foul atmosphere, so I was informed by a resident of the place in which the caterer lived, some two hours before it was frozen. During this time fermentation was undoubtedly going on. By placing small bits of the poisonous cream in good milk and allowing it to stand for twenty-four hours, the whole becomes poisonous. This proves that the poison is due to the growth of some ferment. Recently, Drs. W. K. Newton and Shippen Wallace, analysts for the New Jersey State Board of Health, have fluid, such be aqueous solution of these crystals placed | in the mouth of a small dog, three weeks | mnie an important contribution to our knowledge of tyrotoxicon. Their report may be found in the Philadelphia Medi- | cal News, of September 25, 1886. Many | persons at different hotels at Long Branch | were poisoned by milk. The poisonous | milk was all obtained from one milkman. | Drs. Newton and Wallace found that the |cows were milked at the unusual hours ‘of midnight and noon. The noon milk- ing was immediately placed in cans, without being cooled, and ‘“‘carted eight miles during the warmest part of the day ina very hot month.” It was this milk which produced the poisonous effects. The morning’s milk was always good. To the medical profession, the most interesting point connected with this poison is its probable relation to cholera- infantum. There is a great similarity between the symptoms produced by the poison and those observed in the disease. The suddenness and violence of the at- tack, the nausea and vomiting without marked tenderness of the abdomen, the great thirst, the severe pain in the back of the head, the nervous prostration and tbe tendency to deep sleep are observed in both. Again, the white soggy appear- ance of the mucous membrane of the cat corresponds exactly with observations in children after death from cholera-in- fantum. Cholera-infantum, as is stated by Smith, “tis a disease of the summer months; and with exceptional cases of the cities.” Thus the disease occurs at a time when decomposition of milk takes place most rapidly. It occurs at places where ab- solutely fresh milk often cannot be ob- tained. Itis most prevalent among classes of people whose surroundings are most favorable to fermentative changes. It is most fatal at an age when there is the greatest dependence upon milk as a food, and when, on account of the rapid de- velopment of the intestinal follicles, there is the greatest susceptibility to the action of an irritant poison, and when irritation and nervous fevers are most easily in- duced.

ACCOMMODATION NOTE, According to the decision of the Su- preme Court of Illinois, in the case of Hodges vs. Nash, an accommodation note may be pledged as security if such pledge is not inconsistent with the purposes for which the paper was executed, and the pledgee is deemed to be a holder for value, and may maintain a suit against the accommodation indorser on the paper. INFRINGEMENT DECISION. In the case of Strait et al. vs. National Harrow Co., which was brought to re- strain the company from bringing certain suits for infringements of patents, on the ground, among others, that the de- fendant had entered in combination with various other manufacturers of spring tooth harrows for the purpose of acquir- ing monopoly in this country in the man- ufacture and sale of the same, Judge Wallace, sitting in the United States Circuit Court at Utica, rendered a decis- ion in favor of the company. MORTGAGE—NOTES — DEBT — TRANSFER. The Supreme Court of Georgia held, in the recent case of Western National Bank of New York vs. Maverick Nation- al Bank of Boston, that where a mort- gage upon realty is given for securing several negotiable promissory notes, some of which notes are negotiated by the mortgagee before maturity and others are retained by him, and after the ma- turity of all the notes the mortgagee in his own name, and without ever having made any assignment of the mortgage or any interest therein, forecloses for the whole amount of the notes so transferred and retained, and afterward assigns the judgment of foreclosure to one of his creditors, who, besides extinguishing his antecedent debt against the mortgagee, pays the latter a large sum in cash, the debt and the cash together being the con- sideration of the assignment, the assignee, if he takes the assignment without any notice of the transfer of the notes or that the transferee had any interest in the mortgage security or in the judgment of foreclosure, acquires the title to the judgment unaffected by the secret equity of the transferee, and the latter cannot recover from the assignee any part of the proceeds of such judgment after the judgment has been paid off by the mort- gagor. CONSIGNMENT — INSURANCE —CONTRACT. Judge Pennypacker, of the Philadel- phia Court of Common Pleas, recently held, in the case of New York Tartar Co. vs. French et al., that in the absence of a contract or custom requiring it a con- signor could not be held responsible for the value of goods which the consignees had requested him to insure, but which he had neglected to insure. The de fendants ordered some goods of the plain- tiff company, and requested the company to insure the consignment. This the company neglected to do, and the goods were lost by the foundering of the vessel carrying them. The defendants claimed that since the plaintiff company failed to insure there was no delivery. The court decided in favor of the plaintiff company, saying: ‘“‘There was no provision in the contract requiring the plaintiff to procure the goods to be insured for the defend- ants. There was no evidence of a cus- tom of the trade making it aduty of vendors to get the goods insured, while the two occasions upon whieh the plain- tiff complied with the request of the de- fendants to have the goods insured, taken the two vecasions in are insufficient to establish such a course of dealing between the parties as would |make it obligatory upon the plaintiff to provide for having the goods insured.”’ GINSENG ROOT.

Assist your neighbor in the defence | Of his property, whether it is in the shape of house, farm, railway, pocket-book, mill or bank. It may be your turn next. Remember that one good turn deserves an- other and that we reap as we sow. There | are very in many quarters about the sacredness of property. It is not only in violent, senseless strikes | that this is made manifest, but we discov- er it in the frivolous talks and silly writ- ings of people on the right hand and on the left of us. The man who has nothing has his evil eye on the man who has. If an honest, hard-working truckman has ac- quired a good span of horses you see that no spendthrift takes them from him. Confirm him in his ownership and abso- lute use of them for himself and not for another. Suppose a dangerous fellow comes along and says to your neighbor, ‘*‘T want possession and use of your span two days next week—no compensation.” Strike hands with your neighbor in re- sisting the impertinent, thievish demand. This is as much our duty as if wefounda midnight burglar in hishouse. It makes no difference in what form are his posses- sions—a railway, a pocket-book or aspan of horses. There are savages among us who, when they differ with the boss about wages, set to work burning up his goods and killing those employed to defend the property. A tremendous evil thus sails and endangers everyone who has the smallest deposit in any savings bank, or $50 worth of property of his own. We venture this prediction: Here in America, with our large liberty and great opportunities, those will suffer fearfully (more than in other lands) who intro- duce this great crime among us. There are too many well-to-do people to put up with this new robbery of person and property. Boycotting and all that kind of violent business is a sword with two edges—sure to wound him most who uses it most. The course and the end of vio- lent and unjust men is easily foretold. It is a time when everyone who carries a watch needs to cry out ‘Stop thief.” Ishmaelites can’t grow nor stay here, nor can servants take the master by the throat, saying, ‘‘Give me five dollars a day instead of three.” That thing, if it ever came in, was played out long ago, and there is no breath left in the vile thing now to be resurrected in the United States.

And it is all because there is a difference between the employed and the employer. It does not look well; it does not make bullets beings sacrificed anybody feel well (except, perhaps, the capitalists who see their employes defeat- ing their own aims by unlawful acts), and it does not work well for the country. It is not peace, but the breaking out of a revolutionary spirit that must be quelled longer be called the no or America can home of the free. Already the country is not what it was; for thousands upon thousands of foreign- ers have come in among us who know neither the language of this people nor their time-honored methods of procedure. Many of them have come with daggers in their hands and blood in their eyes. The only excuse which charity can offer for their readiness to shed blood is that they are too ignorant to know what they are doing. Our farmers send their products to our | great commercial centers to be sold. They want the money and the people need the products. But without ceremony or ex- euse the farmers’ labor is destroyed by fire, side-tracked and left to rot, or other- wise ruined. Ata meeting of those who claimed to be striking for their rights at Buffalo, one of them—McNamara by name—wanted the Strike to be run on the following plan: “Run cars off the track, go through the yard, knock the engine tanks, cut hose and so on, as to disable holes in so en- If that spirit is to be cultivated, the sooner men of thought and character, gines.”’ who belong to organized societies, make up their minds to quit such bodies the better it will be for themselves as well as for others.

The decline in the New England mack- erel catch within intermission through an entire season, irrespective of the necessity, if the fish were to be perpetuated, of letting them alone while spawning. In 1884 the largest quantity of mackerel] | ever taken was landed by the Eastern fleet, from which period until 1890 the eatch steadily decreased, the total for that year not amounting to 5 per cent. of the quantity landed six years before. In order to protect the fish, the closed season from March to June was made, and that this has been productive of good results quite evident, as the catch in i891 was two and one-half times as large as in 1890, while the record thus far for is Riches Take Wines And fly away, but the weeds that are in your nice lawn will never come out unless you buy a YHISYLE OR WEED CUTTER recent years has been | attributed to their being taken without | No. 38 Thistle and Dock Cutter, Shank, Handled. The Thistle and Weed Cutter is for cutting thistles, dock or other weeds out of lawns or gardens. With this tool they can cut up by the root without breaking the surface of the lawn. this season is quite as favorable, the fleet having landed 24,470 barrels, 16,905 barrels to a like date in 1891, and as compared with only 4,949 barrels ina corresponding portion of 1890. As compared with the heavy catches of 1884 and 1885 that of this season is small, but it must be recalled that in those years the run was large and the fleet was much larger than that of 1892. The poor seasons for fishermen since 1886 have lessened the inducement to fit out vessels, and the fieet has dwindled rapidly as the catch. The lowest prices seen of late years were during 1885. The habits of these fish are yet un- known to science, and where they breed | or where they go to during the winter months is as yet all guess work. They | are first seen in the early spring months coming from the south, but it is not be- lieved that they go beyond the southern point of Florida.
