The soft rose light from the tinted side lamps shimmered down on Alma Martin as she bent over the luxurious bed where her two children slept. She kissed little Alma tenderly and brushed back little Fred’s dark hair so softly that he did not stir ip his sleep. She was very proud of him for he was an affectionate, manly child and resembled his father. She went toa window and looked out onto the moonlit lawn where a fountain plashed and white statues stood like ghosts of stone in the shadows of the trees. ‘‘T wonder why he does not come,’’ she said, looking uneasily at the clock on the mantel. ‘‘He knows I can never sleep while he is away. Then her face lighted up; she had heard her husband’s step on the veranda. She ran to meet him and threw herself into his strong arms when he entered. ‘*‘T have been waiting for you, dear,’ she said, sweetly, ‘‘you are late to-night.”’ Laurence Martin folded his wife to him and kissed her, but did not reply. She released herself from his embrace and looked at him in surprise. i" What is the matter?’ she stifling an exclamation of alarm; ‘‘you are pale and trembling; what has hap- pened?” He did not look at her but led her further away from the sleeping children. ‘I?ve had trouble with Burford at the club,” he said, in a low tone. ‘‘I tried to control myself, but he was determined to insult me, and before the others. He hates me and has been trying to pick a quarrel with me fora long time.” ‘*What did he say?” She was as white as death and her hands spasmodically. ‘“‘He made a remark at my very elbow about the humbleness of my people and said that but for my having toiled like a miser and become rich, I could never have married into your family.”’ “What did you do?’’ ‘I told him he was a coward; I tried to get to him but they came between us. I was blind with rage; I don’t know all I said.’ For an instant her fine patrician face was aflame with rage and she stood be- fore him like an angry goddess, but she sank into a chair and covered her face with her hands. Neither spoke, and the silence was so profound that the breath- ing of the children was audible. When she looked up she had grown very calm. ‘He will challenge you.” ‘*} know it; he said Colonel Moulton would wait on me at once.” A shudder convulsed her from head to foot. ‘*He has killed two men in is the best shot in Chaaleston. you going todo? Oh, my God! awful!’ s9 asked, were clinched duels and What are This is “There is but one thing open to me,” he said, laying his broad hand softly on her head, ‘‘and that is to meet him. Your grandfather was killed in a duel; NO. 480° your father respects the custom and would despise a man who would decline a challenge. You have inherited their views, for | have seen your face light up with pride when others have spoken of theircourage. My ancestors toiled for their daily bread and knew no honor which could be upheld by _ blood-shed, and I have inherited their views. Il have always felt that it kill a man ina duel. was murder to You may not think so now, but you would despise me if I were to refuse to meet Burford. I don’t blame you, forit is bred in the bone. Your world would brand me as a coward —the cowardly son of a blacksmith, the father of your children, you, the haughty great-grandchild of anearl. Ah, I know how they would talk.” With a slight scream she rose and threw her arms around his neck. ‘‘Never mind, you must not meet him, Laurence; think of me and the children.” ‘TY am thinking of you,’’ he said, ing her softly. ‘‘There is nothing else left forme todo. 1 know you better than you know yourself.’’ A step sounded in the vant entered. ‘‘Colonel Moulton, speak with you.” ‘Tell him I shall be in at once.” The wife stood like a statue listening to the servant’s retreating foot-steps, then she sank, unable to stand, at her husband’s feet. **} love you with all my _ soul,” groaned, clinging to his knees with her frailarms. ‘‘Don’t accept the challenge. It would kill me, my love for you. kiss- hall. A _ ser- sir; he wishes to she Nothing could change Would you kill me? Would it be honorable for you to my death? Assure as you man I shall die. For my sake anything, but don’t meet him!” His handsome face filled with tender- ness as he raised her up and clasped her to him, but he said with his troubled eyes. She pushed him toward the door, a playful, half hopeful smile on her face. “Go now,’’ she urged, herself with excitement; I don’t care what they all only for you!” pause meet that tell him nothing, save almost beside ‘Shave it over. think, I care He kissed her again, and his face took back a little of its natural color. ‘I would do anything you ask,” he said. ‘It would be an unpardonable crime before high heaven anyway, feel- ing as I do about it. But, if I refuse, you must make up your mind to bear a good deal.” She made no reply, and he crossed the hall to the drawing room. She stood for a moment, holding to the heavy curtains, a strange despair dawn- ing in her eyes. Fifteen minutes later he returned. She was sitting at the side of the bed, gazing fixedly at the children. She did not look up when he stood over her, but covered her white face with her hands. “Well, I have obeyed you,” he said gently, ‘and now we must think no more about it. Ifeel that I have done my duty. Moulton seemed astonished, ee tli ane 2 on inet 2 THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. but he said finally that my written | apology would satisfy Burford.”’ ‘Satisfy!’ She hissed the words | through her teeth, and clutched the eoverlet convulsively. ‘‘And you wrote it; you wrote that vile scoundrel that— that you were sorry you resented sult. He spoke of you as he the meanest of his and you replied he foreed—forced you to beg his in- | would of slaves, because his pardon in a note that he will exhibit to everybody in this city. Oh, if I were only a man, I would tear him limb from limb!” Laurence Martin shrank from his wife | in surprise, and all signs of hope left his face. Fora moment he stood erect and motioniess, then he bent her and tried to lift her up, but she shrank shud- dering him, and uttered a low moan like a woundedanimal. _____ Trade Unionism in Australia. The outcome of the recent strikes and riots in Sidney, Australia, has been very bad for trade. The trouble occurred ina mine, and for a while the aspect of affairs was very threatening. Eight of the ringleaders were arrested and tried on charges of conspiracy and inciting to riot. Six were convicted and sentenced to imprisonment and hard labor for terms varying from three months to two years. The one most heavily punished was the secretary of the local branch of the Amalgamated Miners’ Association, who was the instigator of the trouble. He was avery important person in union circles, and his conviction has caused great indignation and alarm among his associates. A monster petition for the release of the convicts was presented to the authorities, but they refused to inter- fere, saying that the law must take its course. It is thought that the trade union in Australia has received its death- blow. —~>-e Good Words Unsolicited.

Bay Mills—The Hall & Munson Co. has purchased all of the standing timber in Chippewa and Luce counties owned by the Calumet & Hecla Mining Co. business | the most prosperous the Huron shore ‘lumber trade has experienced. Lumber ij has been sold about as fast as manufac- | tured, at good prices. The mills will all be fairly stocked for next season. Detroit—Articles of association of the | Michigan Arms and Cycle Works have ‘been filed at Detroit. The capital stock ! | is $10,000, of which $6,000 worth has been paid in. John B. Peterson, Jr., George Wm. Toney, George L. Peterson and Charles A. Converse form the company. Manistee —The Canfield Salt and Lumber Co. is erecting anew salt shed which will have a capacity of about 7,000 barrels. The company does not ex- pect to ship a great deal more this fall, and after the shed is completed will fill it and then shut The dock pretty well cleaned of lumber and the mill can be run later in the season than usual. Bay City—The Sage sawmill has only cut about 12,000,000 feet this season, ow- ing to the timber of the firm having been exhausted. The stock cut this season came from Canada. What the future of the mill is has not been determined. As an enormous quantity of logs will come to the river from Canada next season it is quite possible that some arrangements will be made to keep the mill in motion. down. is have carried freight from Benton Har- | bor to Milwaukee this winter, but which slipped up on her contract some way, was in here last week, and took out about 4,000 barrels of salt for Chicago, and will tie up there for the winter. Her ma- freight of that kind, as she ought to carry »,000 barrels at least. The barge Mar- shall, which has been earrying salt from here ali season, has taken a load of lum- ber for Tonawanda, where she will tie up for the winter, and will probably be in the salt trade next season again. Empire — The Empire Lumber Co., which is an offshoot of T. Wilce & Co., of Chicago, is getting its mill in shape for the winter’s campaign. A new battery of boilers has been put in, which will make six large boilers, and furnish all the steam wanted for the new engine, which is one of the largest in a sawmill in this northern country. Another cir- cular will be added to the equipment, and about three miles of standard guage railroad, to insure asteady supply of logs, independent of snow or ice. It is sup- posed that it is ultimately intended to connect the road with the Manistee & Northeastern, and so be able to ship by rail as well as water should the necessity arise. Saginaw—Lumber will be cleaned off the mill docks as never before at the close of the season in a score of years. Dry lumber is shipped up close, and there will be light stocks of green left when the milisshutdown. A large ship- per said that if the railroads did not take out a foot of the stocks on the mill docks enough left to load the boats in spring before the mills start. He said he had never seen lumber shipped up so closely at this date. As local yards buy quite freely during the winter, the rail- | al Manistee—The Chicora, which was to| chinery is not well arranged for carrying | during the winter, there would not be the ! ‘roads and yards will clean up the stock | long before spring arrives, and Saginaw ' ; will go into the spring trade of 1893 | with practically no lumber to offer on the | |cargo market. Three or four mills gen-| erally run nearly through the winter, | | but their output is handled by rail. | —_ .- -<— | 1 The Hardware Market. Hi General Trade—With the coming of | ; Snow and cold weather, a shortening up| | in the demand for building materials and | an increased demand for other lines of | | goods is quite apparent. The volume of | | business keeps up and everything is mov- | ing along very satisfactorily. The gen- | eral conditions of the market are Station- | lary, and but few changes in price have} | taken place. Wire Nails—Notwithstanding the man- | ufacturers were looking for better prices, | the advance does notcome. if anything, | the market is weaker; more especially is | this the case with jobbers. The present | price is $1.75 to $1.80, according to quan- tity wanted. Glass—Window glass is very scarce } and manufacturers are having hard work | | to eateh up with their orders. They give} very little encouragement for doing so before Jan. 1. The price still remains as quoted last week.

Henry has opened a grocery and shoe store at Alto. The I. M. Clark Gro- eery Co. furnished the groceries and Rindge, Kalmbach & Co. the boots and shoes. As will be noted by the report of the last meeting of the Retail Grocers’ Asso- ziation, a food exposition is among the possibilities of the future, in case a suf- ficient number of manufacturers of food products express a desire to patronize such an enterprise. A number of Grand Rapids capitalists have purchased the sole right to manu- facture a new kind of water gas in this State, and are testing its effectiveness and economy at an experimental works on Madison avenue, at the intersection of the D., L. & N. Railway. It is claimed that an excellent quality of fuel gas can be produced for 5 cents per 1,000 feet and that the gas can be converted into beautiful illuminating gas for 15 cents per thousand. The machinery for its manufacture is very simple,the expense of equiping aplant fora town of 5,000 people being about $8,000. The inventor, who is a Philadelphia gentleman, spending a few days in the city, superin- tending the equipment of the experimen- tal works. is About a year agothe Retail Merchants’ Protective Association of Rochester, N.

The man- ager leased offices in the Wonderly build- ing and introduced the system to the merchants of the city on the basis of $10 for an annual membership, usually pay- able in advance. Mr. Manleyclaims to have done excellent work for the agency, but for some reason his drafts for ser- vices were not honored and he therefore sent in his resignation, being succeeded by F. Hale Sessions, who, in turn, was succeeded by J. O. Merriman.

And it is well that it should not, for, though inthe progress of mental de- velopment of bar- barism have been eliminated, force yet a necessity to sustain the best inter- ests of organized society against the foes without and foes within that defy and oppose the spirit of an age remarkable for mechanical and commercial enter- prise. So, while philanthropists deplore the evils of war between nations and the military force required within organized protect the state from they acknowledge than Re- the grosser forms is goverc:ments to internal dissensions, that the gain to society enough to balance the resultant loss. Every government has at times compelled to appeal to this all-persuad- ing instinct for existence. Without it the world would not now be made up of powerful nations fulfilling their destiny in the onward march of civilization by conquests over barbarous tribes, their development through commercial channels. War subdues and commerce civilizes, and thus in the past they have| proved, for the most part, nnewatabie | allies. As becomes the normal condition of latter day governments, the commercial enter- is more been and by peace greed engendered by prises finds scope for certain destructive influences that cannot be so justly cused as the one first mentioned; at the same time they challenge particular at- tention on accountzof the fact that the evils resulting are every year on the in- crease, greatly to the injury of coming generations. Originating in the primal condition of man when, procure a livelihood, he was obliged to kill either the beasts of the forest, fish of the sea, or fowls of the air, the hunting instinct remains, among the refining influences of to-day, as powerful in those whom it affects as when savagery was the prevailing mood of the human race. To a certain degree, the hunter has been the pioneer and pro- tector of commerce. This continent, after its discovery by Columbus, re- mained still a wilderness for two hun- dred years or more, unproductive and valueless to the enterprise of the East. The portion we now occupy would not have been brought from its original wild- ness and barbarism to the present stage of improvement, were it not for the men whose hunting instinets induced them to roam over its entire surface in quest of game. They became the pioneers and surveyors who first gave to the world knowledge of its wonderful resources. ex- to Davis Waists..... 9 00|Bortree’s 9 Grand Rapids..... 4 50j|Abdominal........ 15 00 CORSET JEANS. ee 6% | Naumkeag satte en... 634 Androscoggin.......

Now that there are continuous organ- ized counties in the place of pathless forests and uncultivated prairies, the hunter of to-day loses the characteristies of his predecessors, with all the romance connected, and pursues his prey from sheer love of the sport—to relieve the ennui caused by luxurious living. It is, without doubt, a lower motive than the one which ruled the Nimrods of the past, though it is confessedly the only one that controls the hunting indulged in by the wealthy classes. Cooper’s hero, were he to appear again in life,’,would have sympathy neither with those who, in cold blood, for sordid pelf, slaughtered the armies of buffalo that were not long ago the life and romance of western plains and valleys, nor with the dainty sportsmen of to-day who, with the latest deadly weapons and dogs trained for the purpose, out-Herod the noted king of Judea in useless, wanton sacrifice of in- nocent life: the former he would score as ‘“‘cowardly,varmints” that killed God’s creatures like sheep at the butcher’s pen without the poor plea of necessity; the latter he would look down upon with contempt as he did on their prototypes of a hundred years ago. To both classes of hunters the law now appeals with restrictions -and penalties which miti- gate somewhat the evils of the promiscu- ous and uncontrolled killing of game in organized communities; but, outside the jurisdiction of law, the destructive de- sires of men have worked an immense havoc that has never been reached by any restraining power, for, to satisfy a greed for present profit, they have robbed future generations, even to the obliter- ation of entire species of game. The sealing fishery is a notable in- stance of their destructive search for wealth. The cod and mackerel fisheries have also been nearly destroyed by reck- less methods that, in wasting a portion of each catch, have prevented all chance of natural increase, until our markets are almost bare of any genuine sample of either species. Not only has animal life been uselessly destroyed, both for sport and profit, but vegetable life has not been spared. Over many states an immense inheritance of valuable forests has been wasted with the heedlessness of a spendthrift, and much of it with almost criminal wantonness. The largest por- tion, it is true, was removed to prepare the soil for necessary cultivation, but, outside of such justifiable destruction, the torch of the careless hunter has aggravated the process of devastation. Long before the first century of our National life was spent, this havoe had | | economic law will be puton trial be- fore the jury of impartial posterity, and the verdict justly rendered against him will offset his present fame, great it may be. To enjoy to the fullest extent the bounties which nature has_ provided, man must learn to use them rationally. It is hardly worth while to emerge from barbarism if we live regardless of the future, like the savages whom we displace. The prodigality fostered by the immense richness of our inheritance will not al- ways find its extravagance met by an adequate supply. Already we have re- ceived many timely warnings to take account of stock. If we do not heed them, the highest court of bankruptcy will be compelled to appoint a teceiver, and our republican experiment will find little favor shown in the subsequent official settlement. This age is great in mental, moral and scientific attainments; let us, therefore, cease to imitate the savage in both cruelty and improvidence. S. P. WHITMARSH. DODGE Independence Wood Split Pulley.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEWBER 30, 1892 INTERNAL TRAFFIC GREAT CITIES. The task of subsisting and maintain- ing the internal economy of great cities is among the most important of modern problems and is always a subject for in- struction and interesting study. to understand how possessed facilities for provi- OF It is easy enough cities which navigation sions and other with before days of raiiroads; but now it would seem were supplied necessaries the a difficult matter to take care of which rail- population gathered in a_ place possessed neither waterways nor ways. the chief cities, the eapitals the interior, the purposes In the early periods and particularly of coun- tries, were situated in as remote as possible from frontiers. This was done for of against invasion. But cities were all placed upon rivers which at least for small and also furnished water for all purposes. defense foreign these were navigable, vessels, Babylon Nineveh and the great interior cities of So were placed China, also London and Paris. which are very old cities. Rome was fourteen miles from the meuth of the Tiber, which was then navigable from the sea for the galleys and moderate-sized ships of antiquity. Tyre, Carthage and Alex- andria were exceptions, for they were placed directly upon the seashore: but the great masses of the ancient popu- lations were gathered in the heart of the countries. seafaring nations, whose people lived by carrying and conducting foreign commerce, the greatest numbers Except in of the people were gathered in the river | valleys whose fertile lands furnished the great food crops, since by defective means of tation, it was found more advantageous for the people to live near the grain fields, than to carry the crops to long distances. Like conditions will again obtain, and hence the day will come when the most populous cities of our continent will be situated in the Mississ- ippi Valley. Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha and Cincinnati will one day rival Lon- don and Paris in their vast aggregations of people. interior transpor- a great , and | reason of the | | birds and 65,000,000 gallons of | wines and beer were required for | Subsistence of the people for a year.

There is a popular notion that ecrimi- nals convicted of murder, when they are standing upon the scaffold in the very presence, as it were, of death, if guilty, should exhibit a great amount of agita- | tation and emotion, while a quiet, steady | demeanor is supposed to indicate inno- cence. The actual behavior of murderers un- |der such circumstances usually disap- | point these preconceived theories. Take the circumstances of the execution of | Cream, the London monster, who recently | went to the seaffold for the murder of a | woman by poisoning. The man is re- | ported to have died with great com- posure and firmness, and yet it would be | difficult to find in the annals of crime a | more fiendish and atrocious creature in ;human form. This man had murdered | six women in London and several more | in the United States and Canada. Worse than the ogreish Bluebeard of |the story books, who punished witb death the indiscreet curiosity of his several successive wives, Cream, who | did not live in a heathen age, or a_ bar- barous and paynim country, like his fabled prototype, but in the glorious ‘light of the nineteenth century and in Christian lands, multiplied and repeated many fold his murderous crimes for the | sheer love of it. Here was a creature | Steeped in guilt, and who never denied | his crimes, but he died with a quiet and spirits, | o'clock | There | Nothing is more common in murder trials where the incidents have been peculiarly atrocious than for the be- | reaved and innocent friends of the de- | ceased to give way to excessive emotion, | while the murderer remains quiet and self-possessed. All experience proves that the average person who is ignorant | Of criminal matters and has had no ex- | perience with criminals, is entirely in- | capable of comprehending the interior | intelligence of the hardened wretch, and | itis utterly futile to attempt to judge them from the point of view of innocence /and virtue. Conscience, which is doubtless origi- | nally an interior spiritual suggestion, is | largely influenced by education, and it | may be educated downwards or smothered | in depravity as well as strengthened and fortified by virtuous practices. It is not | likely that a person who is so full of hate ; and malignity as to plan and execute, with deliberation and satisfaction, the | murder of another, wiil be troubled much | by conscience. How certain then that a | villain like Cream, steeped in depravity j}and delighting in the death of his | numerous victims, should have no twinges |of remorse. It is than probable that his chief regret would be that his eareer of wickedness was cut short. We have seen men who had accident- ally killed a friend or companion, or who had in the heat of sudden excite- ment slain another, live ever afterwards lives of gloom, sadness and regret, but never in the person of a deliberate and malignant murderer have there been any such manifestations of remorse or settled distress of mind, to the knowledge of the writer. It is plain that the common notion on such subjects must be revised. The man who accepts death through devotion to an honorable cause, be it a sentiment, a principle or a creed, can and does die like a hero or like a saint. But his sublime courage and holy faith must not be confounded with the demeanor on the scaffold of the depraved and hardened | criminal who dies as the fool dieth or | like the brute beast, stolid and stupefied, | without hope and without fear. more | la SOCIALISTIC RAILWAY SCHEME. One of the demands of the Farmers’ | Alliance as formulated in the St. Louis jand Ocala platforms, was government | ownership of railroads. It was proposed that all the business of carrying and of ; the transmission of intelligence should | be taken from private corporations, and | placed in charge of the general govern- ;ment to be operated in trust, the profits, | after paying expenses, to be divided out | among the people at so much per head. There were presented only two meth- ods by which the government could se- |eure such control. One was by buying | out all the railroads, telegraph lines and |ships and boats, and the other was to | seize on them by force and take posses- sion outright. The thousands of mil- ‘lions of money required to effect the buy- ing out of the property made up too vast | | | | | asum to be seriously considered by any set of theorists, and the downright sei- zure savors so much of socialism and an- archy that it is plainly not to be thought of at present. The Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union, which have been holding a con- vention for some days past at Memphis, have proposed an experiment in socialis- tic railroading, in which it is demanded that the United States government shall construct and operate arailroad from British Columbia to the Gulf of Mexico. It is estimated that the work will cost $15,000,000, with a further cost of mil- lions for equipments. One singular provision of this scheme is that the work shall be done by the convict labor of the different states. It is difficult to believe that any combina- tion of farmers and workingmen would countenance the use of convict labor on public works by the United States, but the proposition only shows that when people of any class launch out into poli- tics without any real principles or rea- sonable system of honest public policy, they will adopt any scheme that will promise to advance their ends. Anybody who has listened to the wild howls that are set up by the self-styled apostles of free labor whenever it is pro- posed to employ convicts at any work that will assist in their support and so lighten the burden of taxation, will be astonished to hear that such people would willingly turn over the labor of building a socialistic railway to the 50,000 con- victs now in the states’ prisons, instead of reserving it for the free laborers and mechanics. But such is the scheme which the saviors of the farmers and the apostles of free labor have proposed in their Memphis congress. It is truly re- markable. THE NICARAGUA CANAL. The world’s greatest reformers and most far-seeing statesmen and philoso- phers seldom, if ever, live to see their grand designs realized. They plan and they prophesy. They lay out vast works for the advancing of human progress, and for the amelioration of the hardships and the lightening of the burdens of the hu- man race, and they predict the enormous benefits that are to accrue from them,but they die and leave to other hands and other generations of men the working out of the lofty designs and the magnifi- cent aspirations in which their genius and their hearts had been so much en- gaged. Almost from the day of the discovery of the narrow thread of land which con- nects the two continents of North and South America, and separates by a few score of miles the two greatest of the earth’s oceans, there has been felt a fixed and abiding necessity for the piercing of this isthmus for the convenience of the world’s commerce. Even theold Spanish navigators who realized the hardships of the long and perilous voyage in their sil- ver-laden galleons from Peru around the uttermost capes of South America to the shores of Europe, proclaimed the neces- sity for such a work. To-day, when six million tons of shipping are carrying trade between the countries of the Pa- cificand Atlantic Oceans, the need of this canal has grown so great that it now seems as if the time of its consummation were near at hand, As to the work itself, there is presented no problem which is not easily within the @- ~?¢ > tha Phare P a {- ++ = = ns PP ~ 2 To Clothing Merchants.

Escott, Me ngs—First Wednesday evening of March September and December, WHAT CONSTITOTES A DISEASE. The doctrine that filth plays portant part in the causation of lies at the foundation of very much the sanitary administration of cities and an towns throughout all! civilized countries. however—and | The popular impression, undoudtedly the belief among a very large part of the medical profession, as| well as among many of the officials who have charge of sanitary administrations— | is that filth in the ordinary sense of the word is iiself the active cause of disease, and that little else is essential to the pro- duction of certain infectious diseases than to deposit a certain «mount of filth, or to allow such filth toaccumulate with- in the premises occupied by agiven popu- lation, in order to generate a_ pestilence. Hence the activity of sanitary bureaus in sweeping out filth, in cleansing foul spots, in removing garbage, in depositing tons of disinfectants in cesspools, cateh basins and sewers. This activity in the cleansing of towns, the removal of filth. the sanitation of eellars and yards, is commendable so lung as the true role of filth in the causation of disease is not lost sight of, and the entire energy of sanitary organizations not expended in this ene direction. Undoubtedly each and all of the so called filth diseases may find victims in houses that are absolutely faultless, pro- vided that conditions otherwise favorable exist in such the houses, is houses, prime con- dition being the presence of human beings. A child sick with diphtheria in any house whatever constitutes a men- ace to every one wholives in the house, and especially to the younger portion of the household. This again is but one of the essential conditions to the propa- gation of infectious diseases. The results of the experimental re- searches of recent years, in regard to the natural history of infectious diseases, appear to show that what the older ob- servers were wont to call causes, were conditions only, and that overcrowding or density of population, faulty venti- lation, and the presence of filth are simply the favorable and conditions in the propagation of disease, and not in any sense its cause. Analogy would teach us that the actual eause of an infectious disease the disease itself—that is to say, a previous case—and the more we learn of the origin of epidemics, as well as of so-called sporadic cases, the more we are inclined to look for previous eases as the true cause of origin. Nor does the fact that we do not find the previous case prove its non-existence. By some authorities smallpox is called a filth disease, and experience has shown is that the liability to its occurrence is in-| creased by the presence of filth. About one-half of the local outbreaks in Massa- chusetts in the last ten years families of persons engaged rags, and in nearly every instance it was found that the rags had been collected in some large town in which smallpox had recently prevailed. In this case the pre- sumption is very strong that the filth or the dust of the rags was simply the medium of contagion, the bales having probably contained rags which had had direct connection with the persons suffer- ing with smallpox. im- | disease | of | unfavorable | have | occurred in paper mill towns and in the in sorting | | In the same category may be placed |anthrax, a disease rare in the United | States, but occasionally introduced into | factories engaged in the sorting and | preparation of foreign horse hair. The presence of the materies morbi in dust of these factories is not to be | wondered at, when it is known that such | hair is sometimes shorn from animals which have died of anthrax. Another disease which recent inquiries show conclusively to be propagated through the medium of dustladen atmos- ;phere is that most destructive of all diseases, phthisis. The danger which |exists in the distribution of the dried sputa of the phthisical subjects cannot be overestimated. The liability of infection by scarlet fever is undoubtedly increased by the presence of dust; since the contagious | principle of this disease, so far as can be learned, exists largely in the particles of dried ephithelial scales which, falling from the body, mingle with dust of apart- ments, and thus spread the infection from the sick to the well. In the same category may be placed | typhoid fever. In fact, this disease may | fairly be styled the chief of filth diseases, and, although it may not be possible to | trace the typhoid bacillus en route from | the ileum of the sick to the csophagus | of the well by the medium of any drink in which milk or water is used, the | evidence as toits transmission in this | manner is conclusive. Liebermann says of the disease: ‘‘Daily observation is | sufficient to show that the decomposition |}of organic substances, and of excre- mentatious substances, is not of itself sufficient to produce typhoid fever. There are multitudes of houses in which the effluvia of the privies can be smelled through all the rooms, and in which the inhabitants are constantly inhaling sewer gas, and neither the temporary nor permanent residents are attacked with typhoid fever.” We are, therefore, forced to the conclusion that the poison of typhoid fever does not originate in the filth or decomposing substances, but simply finds in them favorable conditions for its spread. The evidence that both cholera and yellow fever are propagated by sewage— polluted water supply—is very strong. In both cases the introduction of the disease from without appears to be essen- tial to its propagation. Filthis simply a medium favorable to its spread. The relation of diphtheria to filth not so clear asin some of the infectious diseases, and it is often claimed that sewer gas isthe common eause of the disease. That such filth may bea proper soil for the cultivation of the disease, when once introduced, I have no doubt, but the claim that the disease originates in it is open to question. The point which I desire to emphasize is not that the removal of filth should be discouraged, but that when it is done it should be done intelligently and with this principle in view—that filth isa con- dition rather than a cause; that itis the soil for the culture and transmission of the infection and not the infection itself. S. W. ABBOTT. ——— How a Traveling Man Was Fooled. The Pullman section of the New York express had just pulled out of the Grand Central depot in Pittsburgh, when a drummer dashed through the gateway. He sighed as he saw the last sleeper dis- appearing in the distance, and then walked with a dejected air over to the track where the second section of bag- gage cars, smokers and day coaches lay. | In afew moments the signal was given and the train moved slowly out of the de- pot. The drummer glanced around him. Among the passengers he spied several of his ilk, but they were traveling sales- men of a grade that do not usually take | Pullmans, consequently he heeded them | not. | In the front of the car sat a little girl | with her head buried in her arms, which | Were spread on the window sill beside her. A mass of golden ringlets fell upon ;hershoulders. A large man sat beside |her, evidently her father. At the next | Station the man rose without a word and | left the train, leaving the little one alone is the | in the seat. She still slept. Half an hour passed and the ringlets moved. A | piteous, haggard little face was slowly jraised and two large, frightened eyes |looked strangely around the car. Then | the little head sank down upon the arms | again and the child went to sleep. | Later, when the drummer tried to doze, he kept thinking of those tearful, lonely eyes, and often during the early part of the night he glanced at the mass of gold- en curls. Two o’clock in the morning found him wide awake. The little girl moved again. Once more she looked around with the same scared expression on her puny face. The other passengers were curled up in their seats, and no one but the drummer saw her. His heart was touched. He pitied the child in her loneliness. Walking to the front of the ear, he sat down beside her and tenderly stroked her curls. When he asked her name she did not answer, but drew further away from him. Where was she going? At this question she looked sul- len and cross. Would she like some- thing to eat? No, she shook her head and pouted. ‘Well, my dear,” said the good-natured drummer, ‘I will see that you do not get lonely before daylight, at any rate. Would you like me to tell you a story that my mother used to tell me when I was small like you?”’ The drummer then proceeded to tell the child a fairy tale, and followed with another, and still another, before he stopped. The little face did not bright- en. The child stared through the win- dow at the dim outlines of the moun- tains past which the train was speeding. The drummer tried another plan. He told a funny story about a little boy who built a fire in his father’s silk hat, and he laughed so heartily when he had fin- ished that the little girl looked up in as- tonishment. Then a bright smile stole over her face. The drummer felt en- couraged. He had begun another funny story when the child, still wearing the same amused look, drew from her pocket a card which she held up before her per- severing entertainer. On it was written: ‘*This little girl is on her way to Phila- delphia, where friends will meet her. She is deaf and dumb.”’ The drummer took one sheepish glance around him to make sure that none of his fellow passengers were looking, and then slunk back to his seat, curled him- self up with his overcoat for a pillow and went to sleep. nl The Drug Market.

Mallett in Dry Goods Chronicle. When you have a decided taste for it, possess sufficient capital, and are ac- quainted with the details you are fitted to | engage in any business. When you come to consider every oth- er business superior to your own, you may conclude that your own business is superior to yourself. When you have learned to serve faith- fully, you may be expected to command wisely. When your stock is turned over often, | you can afford to sell cheaper and still increase the net profit. | When you inquire into the cause of a marked success, you will invariably dis- | cover that much of it was due to the abil- | ity to select and retain efficient employes. | When you lock your store door at night | leave your business inside. No balmy | sleep with worry for a bedfellow. When you have decided upon a course in business which is satisfactory to your own mind and experience, do not allow the doubts of others to dampen your en- thusiasm, When you have exerted your abilities, and success seems doubtful, train your | mind to review results kindly. Be san-| guine. Worry, not work, is the bane of many lives. When a business is said to run itself, it is generally the result of the force of gravitation. Gravity is always down- ward. When you begin to have some doubts of the superiority of your own abilities, you are on the threshold of afresh ad- vance. Over self-confidence is the rock which has sunk many a young mercantile mariner. When you expect an advertisement to create business, word it for business. An advertisement has no life in itself; it depends for its efficiency upon the vigor with which you endow it. When you receive tuition from expe- rience, don’t forget to graduate. When you furnish the capital and an- other the experience, don’t swap. When you find yourself inclined to be rash in buying stock, remember that ‘it is better to ery after the goods than over them.’’ When you ailow business to unduly worry your mind, it is a sure indication that your adventure is a *‘size too large.’ When you are told that ‘*A rolling stone gathers no moss,’’ also remember that **A setting hen gathers no fat.’? Don’t be entirely guided by old ‘‘saws.”’ Ji } a ee Business Principles. From the Dry Goods Reporter. A man’s personality has as much to do with his success in business as the posses- sion of capital. There are certain busi- ness principles, the observance of which is compensating; the non-observance of which ends in the demoralization of a merchant and his business. A business man should guard his repu- tation for straight and upright dealing, fora loss of confidence in him by the| public whom he serves has only one end- | ing—disaster. He should remember that his customer’s interests are his interests. The seeking of their trade is a species of tacit contract to serve them well. In forfeiting their confidence he does not live up to that contract and loses what is more precious than gold—a good name. The sum total of business principles is: Be true, and act squarely towards your customers, your creditors and yourself. The man whois untrue on any one of | these points is as much a fool as a thief. | —_ 2. => From Out of Town.

Plate-Glass Makers’ Combine. Pittsburg dispatches state that twenty plate glass representatives of the eight factories in the United States met there November 16 and entered into an alli- ance for the purpose of regulating the production to meet the comsumption of plate glass in America, as the factories at present turn out more glass than the country uses. The capacity of the eight companies is 22,500,000 feet, while the consumption this year was but 15,000,000 feet. There is no likelihood of the price dropping lower than 55 cents, the pres- ent rate. Each factory will be appor- tioned its qnota of the production, and be required to abide by the agreement.
