AMONG THE PINES. Certain Sccial Phases in Northern Michi- gan—No. 5. Chas. Ellis in the Current Michigan isa fine farming State. The soil is rich and strong, and yields abundant- ly of all the northern crops. In the older portions of the State, where the farms have been fully reclaimed from the long domin- ions of the forest, the farmers are thrifty, prosperous, independent. But the work of making a good farm in Michigan, is so much greater than it has been in a prairie State, Lllinois, for instance, that the pioneer has to do a great deal of hard labor that is not farming, before he ean get his land into con- dition to farm, before he ean be said, in fact, to have found his farm. A spot was pointed out to me one day, as 1 rode along a country road up here, over which, the story was, a solitary horseman carefully picked his way one warm day, some years ago, when this road was only a blazed bridle-path. By the side of the path, at the spot mentioned, the) aforesaid solitary horseman found a log cab- in, at the door of which he stopped and in astonishment inquired of the still more soli- tary individual whom he found there: “What in the name of heaven are you do- ing here, my friend?” < “Wall, stranger, reckon I’m living here.” “But you don’t mean to say that you in- tend to stay here?”’ “Wall, Mister What’s-yer-name, yer about k’rect; stay’s the word.” “What do you intend to do here?” “Wall, seein’ ’syou arnt very ‘’quis’tiv’ aboaut the hull bizness, VH tell yert Pm goin’ to make a farm here.” “But,” said the astonished horseman, who was looking up pine lands, for purposes of speculation, ‘but my good man, where are you going to find your land?” “Wall, mister, never seed trees yit b’twhat ther’ w’s land under ’m, ’n I reckon (Hi find some on’t here, arter a while.” All along that road to-day farms, farm- houses and barns are to be found, with oc- easional villages and growing young towns. Most, if not all ef the farms, however, are still in process of evolution from savagery, or wilderness, but the work goes steadily on. Here and there you see a farm that is only such by courtesy. That is to say, because a man has settled there, bailt himself a log house and barn, or some simple shanties an- swering the same purpose, ard begun the work of “clearing,” he is classed among tar- mers. He begias the work of making a farm. Iie chops Gown the standing trees and cuts them into Jogs, as he does also the windfalls. The merehantable pine has been already cut, for all this land passes through the hands of lumbermen or speculators, before it comes into market for farms. The pioneer farmer buys the hardwood, the refuse pine, and all the stunps. He burns his chopping, and between the stumps he sews and _ plants his seed. Again he chops and burns, and again he plants among more stumps. So year af- ter year he gains little by little upon the forest, but still the stumps remain. They cling te their home. They die hard as say- agery does everywhere. The roots of the hardwoed stump rot and become brittle enough, excepting the oak, to break and tear out in a few years, but those of the pine are almost immortal. The sap of the pine is full of balsam, and pine stumps burnt well on the outside, and a clearing will show a mass ef coal-black stumps, molars, so to speak, for twenty years or mre, which even then will not let gotheir grip inthe jaws of mother Earth without an amount of cutting, digging and pulling that makes the pioneer farmer a veritable surgeon-dentist of the soil! Ifa man is young and strong when he begins this work, and health and strength ‘remain with him, it is reasonably certain that, by the time he is, say, fifty years old, he will have a snug farm wader cultivation, a fair propertion of it fully eleared of stumps and as fruitful as can be found in the same latitude all the way around the globe. But not more than one in eight or ten of those who undertake such a task, ever makes a suecess of it. The hard work and poor fare break down the courage, even if the health does not fail, and they go in search, of some spot where nature has made better prepara- tion for poineer farmers than she did up here. In many eases such men, in leaving, leave all that, too, perforce. The land into which the put their small store of money has perhaps been eaten up, and goes to satisfy some mortgage. Then their places are filled by others who take up the work where the pioneer left it, and are more successful, be- cause of the unrequited toil of those who failed. But not all of these succeed. Some of them grow weary over their everlasting fight with stumps, and sell out in hope of finding in the farther west, some easier Eden. ‘Thus the toilers toil “and die, many of them with but little satisfaction and less pleasure in life. Yet at last some one is sure to become a well-to-do farmer upon the spot where the pioneer began his stubborn battle with the wilderness. These unsuc- cessful people are neyer known; they disap- pear unwept and unsung to-day, for our world of man applauds only success, wor- ships only gain. Yet it was substantially the same sort of struggle that began at Ply- mouth Rock. The amount of labor, of hard human toil, that nature has exacted for the wildness that she has surrendered to civili- zation in two centuries anda half in our, country is something, as a whole, astound- ing, approaching the inconceivable, incom- prehensibie! Man in a state of savagery is as high a de- velopment as nature can droduce until man himself learns in his struggle for life that he can by “taking thought”? improve upon his conditions, that he can to some extent make or mend his own environments. The wil- derness filled with savagery is nature not yet} stimulated with the idea of property, posses- sion, wealth, betterment. Civilization is na- ture plus man at work. Difference between savagery and “finest civilization” is legiti- mately traceable to the amount of work done by man to make himself the possessor of something, some thing which hope and sel- fishness lead him to struggle for, fight for; in times not so far away to steal, lie and murder for. In this way lazy, deceitful, paneful Savagery, for out of that came we all, has in some cases become a mighty thinker and worker. Through it all, however, success has de- pended in the main, upon the quality and quantity of the food. A German philoso- pher said that without phosphorus there is no thought; but without food, what? Poor food means poor civilization; poorest, none. Ireland is an example of a country witha potato civilization. China has a rice civili- zation. The civilization of England and our own country, in its best, it based on beef. In a new country, where nutritious game is easily obtained, men will do pioneer work with greater success than where there is none. The Indians of North America endured so long, beeause in spite of their lack of skill as cooks, they had abundance of food with strength in it. Could the endurance of the Indian have been converted from idle mus- cular energy into the molecular vibration of ambition and greed thrilling up and down his nervous system, he*might have had a strong civilization of his own. -o A Yown in Mourning. One of our traveling men noticed at a small station, the other day, that the men collected on the platform all wore a deject- ed look. Their subdued manner and sor- rowful appearance indicated that a serious disaster had occurred. “What’s the trouble?” he asked through the car window. ‘A lot of people mutr- dered?” “No, stranger, it’s worse’n that,” said a citizen. ‘The White Elephant burned down las’ night.” “The White Elephant! What’s that?” “Hit war the only likker store in town, stranger.” A Mighty Mean Man. John Richards is a very stingy man, and particularly to his wife. They were ina certain dry goods store a few days ago, and Mrs. Richards hinted that she wanted a blue silk dress. “Nonsense, blue doesn’t suit your com- plexion, at all.” “Then [ll take a green dress.” “Do you want to poison yourself? Don’t you know that all these green dresses are poisonous?” “Then you pick me out a dress.” “That’s the trouble.

Oil is not necessary to the plia- | pility of leather—the leather of the ox, goat, ealf and kid. It is necessary the leather be kept moist; but oil need not be the moisten- ing means. Yet in use oil is the most con- venient means for keeping leather soft. It would be inconvient to employ water to keep pliable the leather of our boots, because of its spreading the pores of the leather and | admitting cold air besides, unless always wet, leather becomes hard and rigid. Oil, on the contrary, keeps the leather in a prop- er state for its best usefulness, that of plia- bility. But in order that oil may soften the leather, its way should be prepared by a thorough wetting of the leather by water. Much less oil is required if the leather is well saturated with water. The philosophy is obvious; water is repellent to the oil, and prevents it from passing entirely through the leather, holding the oil in the substance of the leather. ‘he use of water for soften- ing belts in factories is not inconvenient, if advantage is taken of a holiday. At night the belts may be brushed clean and thor- oughly wetted, then in the morning use the oil; a much smaller quantity is necessary to make the belt pliable than when no water is used. <> -9- —___— A London lawyer suffered a long time from lead poisoning before the doctors dis- covered that it was owing to his use of snuff put up in so-ealled tin-foil wrappers. -6-_ <> — J.

Yo the Editor of THE TRADESMAN: DEAR Sir—I notice that a Grand Rapids druggist, in a communication to the Cedar Springs Clipper, makes a pretty effectual answer to an alleged “prominent. cit- izen,’ who wants to see the Legislature enact a law compelling druggists to paya State tax of $200 for the privilege of selling liquor. Asthe writer states, there is no need for such an enactment, as the existing law provides that druggists shall sell liquor for no other than ‘‘tmedicinal, mechanical or sacramental purposes and it only remains for this provision to be enforced to put a stop to all such complaints. In addition to the above, there are several other strong arguments to support the posi- tion taken. One is, that not one druggist in twenty can sell $200 worth of liquor in a year as a druggist, let alone make that amount. | So, as druggists must keep liquor for medi-. cal purposes, or shut up shop, it follows that should such a law be passed as |‘‘prominent citizen” wants, every druggist in the State would either be obliged to close up, or open aregular bar and dish whisky out by the drink to all,in order to sell enough to pay the tax. It is a very close shave at pres- ent for many druggists to even make enough to pay the Government tax, and I, for one, would not take out a license at all, were I not forced to do so by the public expecting me to keep liquors and refusing to trade with a druggist who does not. tespectfully Yours, O.

The glycerine is taken from the mother li- guor by the ordinary chemical methods and super heated steam is then brought to act in the residum, which removes the impurities. and leaves a choice quality of glycerine. | These dregs are used very extensively in the | manufacture of glycerine in France, but. they have not come into much use in this country as yet.” : — -o ~ -—--—-- Medical Advice by Telephone.

Behind a neat prescription counter the druggist sat smoking a cigar and talking with a friend, on a moist evening, when bus- iness in the drug store was less brisk than usual. Complex, yet faint, odors from hun- dreds of carefully labelled jars and bottles on the shelves mingled with the fragrance of tobacco smoke, and seemed to impart a mysterious charm to the conversation. “I have made it a point for thirty years,” said the druggist, ‘‘to pay strict attention toa prescription while 1 am compounding it, and then drop it out of my mind entirely. That is the best way to avoid making mistakes.” A girl with a shawl over her head came in and presented a bottle and a piece of paper, on which her mother had written: . “Please send five cents worth of orinka for sore throte.” The druggist quietly poured some arnica into the bottle, pasted on alabel, took the proffered nickel, and sat down to resume his talk. **As I was saying, [ always forget a pre- scription as soon asI have fiiled it. Of course it is numbered and preserved for fu- ture reference, but if one of my regular cus- tomers should ask me to put up ‘some more medicine same as the last you know,’ I would have to send him home for the bottle which had the number of the perscription on it. If I attempted to remember all the med- icines [mix I would soon be insane. A druggist ought to feel that when he fillsa physician’s order he holds the life of some person in his hand. To mistake one drug for another at such a time may cost a life. Such mistakes result from carelessness, as a rule, not from ignorance, as most people think.” “Dad wants a poor-house blister,’ said a boy who had entered the store unobserved. “What dees he want it for?” “To put on ma’s side where he—where it pain ’er.”’ “Do you mean a porous plaster?” “Oh! yessir.” ‘‘In nine cases out of ten, I believe,” the druggist said, when he had an opportunity to take up the thread of his discourse again, “‘earelessness and not 1gnorance, is the cause of druggists’ mistakes. A druggist who knows that he is not proficient in the busi- ness will look carefully at every jar or bot- tle which he uses in compounding an order. An experienced druggist, unless he is a care- ful man, will sometimes mistake one drug for another which has a similar appearance, because he neglects to look at the label. Such errors happen more easily when a man permits his prescription counter to become littered with drugs not wanted for immedi- ate use. It is safer to clear the counter af- ter each order is filled. The worst possible habit for a druggist however, is to remember prescriptions already compounded. Whena man attempts the feat of thinking about an old prescription while he is at work ona new one, he is in a fair way to commit a murderous blunder.” “Good evening, doctor,”’ A man with along, thin nose, who had entered softly, waited until the druggist had walked from the prescription counter to the front before he inquired in a low tone: “is there any sickness in Mr. Pillbox’s family? I see his boy come in here awhile ago.” “If you wish to know about Mr. Pillbox’s affairs you had better go and ask him. Ido not make a practice of retailing gossip about my neighbors.” “Ah! Good evening.” ‘There is another reason why a druggist should forget his work when it is finished,” said the compounder, after the inquisitive man had departed; ‘‘such a practice enables aman to keep the confidence of customers without trouble. Nothing is more fatal to the business of a druggist than a well-found- ed belief among his neighbors that he will gossip about persons who buy ‘drugs from him. It is surprising how many persons make attempts to get information from druggists about their neighbors.

The relator never can be supplied with this new element of com- meree, so necessary in the prosecution of all kinds of business, unless supplied by the respondent. the money required by it from its other sub- seribers in Lincoln for putting in an instru- ment. He has proven, and it is conceded by the respondent, that he is able, financially, to meet all the payments which may become due in the future. It is shown that his office can be supplied with less expense and trouble to respondent than many others which are furnished by it. No reason can be assigned why respondent should not fur- nish the required instruments, except that it does not want to. There could, and doubt- less does, exist in many cases sufficient reas- on for failing to comply with such a demand, but they are not shown to exist in this case. {t is known to be essential to the business interests of relator that his office be fur- nished with a telephone. The value of such property is of course conceded by respondent, but by its attitude it says it will destroy those interests and give to some one in the same business, who may have been more friendly, this advantage over him. Itis said by respondent that it has public tele- phone stations in Lincoln, some of which are near relator’s Office, and that he is enti- tled to and may use such telephone to its full extent by coming there; that, like the telegraph, it is bound to send the messages of relator, but it can as well do it from these public stations; that it is willing to do so, and that is all that can be required of it. Were it true that respondent had not under- taken to supply a public demand beyond that undertaken by the telegraph, then its obligations would extent no further. But as the telegraph has undertaken to the public to send dispatches from its offices, so the tel- ephone has undertaken with the public to send messages from its instruments, one of which it proposes to supply to each person or interest requiring it, if conditions are reasonably favorable. This is the basis upon which it proposes to operate—the demand which it proposes to supply. It has so as- sumed and undertaken to the public. That the telephone, by the necessities of com- merce and public use, has become a public servant, a factor in the commerce of the na- tion, and of a great portion of the civilized world, cannot be questioned. It is to all in- tents and purposes a part of the talegraph system of the country, and in so far as ithas been introduced for public use, and has been undertaken by the respondent, so far should - the respondent be held to the same obliga- | He has tendered to it all} } ED AKIN WDER This Baking Powder makes the WHITEST.

Grand Rapids, CREAMERY BUTTER. Paper read by C. B. Lrmbert before the Michi- gan Dairymen’s Association. Some writers of the present day have ad- vanced the idea that creamery butter can on- ly be made at private dairies. I cannot agree with them. Perhaps it may be that I have had no experience in private dairies. I will admit there are some that produce a very choice article, and bring the highest price in the best markets; but as I know what is required to constitute creamery but- ter, there is not one-tenth of the private dair- ies which, under the present system of set- ting the milk and preparing the cream for the cheese, can produce a creamery butter. I find there is a general idea among the far- mers and dairymen, as well as many of the merchants, that if the milk is set in one of the many patented submerged ereameries, that is all that is necessary to constitute it a creamery butter. But such are not the facts. It is not setting the milk in somethiffg call- ed a “creamery; but it is to set the milk where you can develope and retain those vegetable oil flavors that are necessary in ereamery butter. Therefore, it cannot be done in private dairies without a large ex- pense and then it would require extraor- | dinary skill to produce a uniform article in flavor and texture day after day. In mannfacturing creamery butter at the factories, the requirements are much the same as for cheese. There should be a com- pulsory system, among the patrons, in the selection of cows—those that give a large percentage of butter—pasturage, water, care, and gentleness when milking. The feeding at the stable should consist of different kinds of grain, being fed morning and even- ing during the summer season, in winter three times a day. I will give the different grains and percentages which I know are the best to produce the largest amount of butter and the best flavor: Oat meal, 500 pounds; eorn meal, 200 pounds; pea meal 150 pounds; bran 300 pounds; linseed meal 100 pounds; cotton seed 50 pounds. In summer feed each cow two quarts morning and even- ing. In winter, increase to three quarts at each feeding. ‘The milk should be taken to the creamery morning and evening, should be strained and cooled to at least 80 degrees at the dairy. Milk taken to the factory twice a day produces a larger quantity and a much better quality of butter than when mixed and only taken once a day. Israel Boies, of Genoa, Ill., one of the best authorities in the United States, when alive, would pay five cents more per hundred for milk deliv- ered twice a day, than for that delivered once, and in my experience I have found that Israel Boies was correct. The operator, to be successful, must be a man of intelligence, good judgment, sensi- tive to all taints, and thoroughly acquainted with the properties of milk. In the con- struction of a creamery no expense should be spared. The butter maker should have perfect control of the temperature in the milk room. There should bea churning room, a cream room, a refrigerator and store room, a bountiful supply of pure, ¢ cold water and ice. The drainage should be perfect. The pans for setting the milk should not hold more than 1,000 pounds to 1,200 pounds of milk with plenty of space under and around for cold water, with an apart- ment in the center of the pan four inches wide, forming a resorvoir of cold water to cool the milk in the center. When receiv- ing the milk, the strainer should set over a covered pail containing ice and salt, so as to expel the animal heat and cool the milk to a temperature of 62 degrees as quickly as circumstances will allow. Skimming the milk is a very important point in cream- ery butter making and one that will test the abilities of the operators to know when the flavors of the vegetable oils are developed, for they must retain them in the butter. These flavors may be fully developed from nine to eighteen hours after setting, when the cream should be taken off at once, with great care not to take any milk with it, for this cream should ripen without any foreign substances. It should then ‘be placed in a pool of water ata temperature of 64 de- grees. Ifthe cream is ata temperature of 62 degrees, it should be stirred often while undergoing the ripening process. The cream that rises after the first skimming may be allowed to geta slight acid before skim- ming; but the milk should not be loppered, as the gases arising from milk in this stage has a tendency to destroy the flavors. The same care must be exercised when taking this cream off as into the first. Divide the cream of the first skimming in as many cream pails as are required, so that you can equally divide the second skimming with the first. It should then be placed in a pool of water at a temperature of 58 degrees, stirring it often to expel the gases as well as to equalize it. Itshould not remain in this pool longer than twelve hours before it is churned. The churn should be rinsed and cooled with cold water before the cream is put into it. If you wish to color the butter, use sufficient coloring for a bright dandeli- on, as that color will suit nearly every mar- ket. I consider the square churn the best now in use. When churning, the cream must be keptina regular motion. If the cream is at a temperature of 58 degrees, and of the proper ripeness, from eight to twelve minutes will be sufficient time to separate the butter globules from the butter milk, leaving them in a granular form about the size of a grain of wheat. Then it is time to draw the butter milk from the churn. After that is done, rinse the butter with cold wa- ter, letting it drain off directly from the churn until the water which runs off looks quite clear.

At the request-of the Commissioner of [n- ternal Revenue of the United States a com- mittee of the National Academy of Sciences was appointed, consisting of professors of . University of Philadelphia, Yale College, Colombia College, Harvard College and Johns Hopkins University, the purpose be- ing to scientifically investigate the various products known as glucose, grape sugar, maltose, ete. The committee found that glucose is made from many things besides starch and potatees, sueh as ‘from leaves, straw, rags, chips, twigs and residues from reweries, distilleries,” etc. The following, hich we take from their report, shows to what use glucose is put: Both glucose and grape sugar find exten- siye applications for a great variety of pur- poses as substitutes for cane sugar or for barley. The most general purposes for which glucose or starch sugar is used are, 1. For the manufaeture of table syrup. This consists of a nearly or quite colorless glucose, with a sufficient addition of cane sugar from the sugar refinery to give it the flavor and appearance of a highly refined molasses. The quantity of cane syrup added varies from 2 per cent. up to 33 per cent. 2. Asa substitute for barley malt in the brewing of ale or beer. ‘This is really a sub- stitution of Indian corn for barley, but it constitutes a very imperfect substitute, as the corn, by the treatment employed in ex- tracting its starch fer conversion into glu- cose, is completely deprived of all the nitro- genous bodies and mineral salts which it originally contained. Hence, the glucose alone, which is simply transformed starch, is substituted for the entire barley grain, with its great variety of valuable constituents. This is not true, however, of the maltose produced from the entire corn by the action of the malt. This material contains all the soluble constituents of the corn, together with the additional substances which are rendered soluble by the action of the dias- tase of the malt. 3. As a_ substitute for cane sugar in con- fectionery. 4, For the adulteration of cane sugar, to which it is added to the extent of 20 or more per cent. 5. Asa substitute for cane sugar in can- ning fruit, and in the manufacture of fruit jellies. 6. For the manufacture of artificial honey. This is neatly put up in glass jars contain- ing a small piece of genuine honeycomb. 7. In the manufacture of vinegar. 8. In the manufacture of liquor coloring, used in mixing liquors and making artificial liquors. 9. Other more limited applications: In the manufacture of wine; by the baker in making cakes; in cooking; in the prepara- tion of. sauces; as an addition to some canned meats, especially corned beef; in the preparation of chewing tobacco; in the man- ufacture of printers’ rollers, and in the man- ufacture of some kinds of ink. ‘The demand for glucose and grape sugar is extremely variable, and depends on the relative prices of corn, and of the articles for which this kind of sugar is substituted, especially sugar house sugar and barley. —_—> ¢———___—- The Grocery Market. A small-sized boom has characterized the , grocery market during the past week, the volume of business having been heavier than for any week for several months. Col- lections are also good, every indication pointing to the fact that the financial situa- tion is gradually improving. Prices have remained about steady, the most important variations being indicated by the change list at the head of Price Current. The confectionery trade has picked up considerably, prices being steady and the de- mand active. Fruits are in good demand and somewhat higher. Nuts are steady. The demoralized condition of the oyster market should have been referred to last week, as the failure of the trade to receive oysters when ordered may have occasioned surprise. The Chesapeake and other oyster bays have been frozen over, thus effectually preventing the oystermen securing their usual supplies. As a consequence of this condition of affairs, all the markets have been nearly bare of oysters, and the jobbers " haye been compelled to pay extremely high prices, thus doing business at a loss. They have taken care of their regular customers, so far as possible, and from this time on ex- pect the supply to be equal to the demand. —_—_—_—__-_ >< It was an easy-going individual, on a cer- tian business street, who was noted for pro- erastination in all things. He had just re- ceived an order for a lot of potatoes, and he was considering the matter of filling the or- der when his clerk came upon the scene with a lot of bags “Wonder what we fill these bags with?” ‘I don’t know,” replied the boy, “but it might be a good idea to as- tonish our customers once, and fill them with dispatch.” -” hey were filled. “T wish you would take to smoking, my dear,” said Crimsonbeak to his wife as he lighted his ‘‘Connecticut filler” after dinner, the other day. ‘And why do you wish that, pray?” replied the lady a little suspicious- ly. “Oh, ve heard that smoked tongue was an improvement on the other kind, and you’ve given me so much of the other kind, recently, that I should not object to a change.” Aud then he went out to see if the doormat was comfortable for the night. “A low voice—an excellent thing in wom- an.” Also in a business office. How to Detect Alum in Bread. From the Grocers’ Journal. Persons ean test the bread they buy for themselves by taking a piece of the bread and soaking it in water. Take this water and mix it with an equal part of fresh milk, and if the bread contains alum the mixture will coagulate. Ifa better test is required, boil the mixture and it will form a perfect clod. Begin and Barbier, French chemists, say the continued use of alum in edibles pro- duces a cough and affects the bronchial tubes, often with very serious results. Pro- fessor Lervin says: “After the frequent use of alum in extremely small doses, it has been observed gastric symptoms result, pro- ducing loss of appetite, nausea and gastri- tis.” “Ajum,” says Dr. Von Klein, of Colum- bus, “has a tendency to irritate the or- gans of the stomach. If alum is introduced into the stomach, and it does not meet with sufficient mucous membrane, the stomach will positively be more or less atiected, and this in the course of continued abuse is nec- essarily injurious.” An easy and simple plan to detect alum in baking powder, is to dissolve a teaspoonful or more in an equal amount of milk and water. Boil a few min- utes, and if the powder contains alium aeurd will at once form. —_____—~< 2 .__—- Liquid Bluing. From the Scientific American. Will you please publish a formtla for liquid bluing? W. H. The liquid blue of the market is said by Dick to be prepared by placing an earthen ware vessel containing 8 parts sulphurie acid intoa tub of very cold water, and ad- ding one part of finely powdered indigo, very gradually to prevent heating, stirring with a glass rod oceasionally, and when sol- ution is effected allowing it to stand 48 hours, then diluting very gradually with twice its weight of soft water. This authority pre- fers, however, the following formula: Into five pounds of the most concentrated sul- phurie acid stir gradually one pound of the best indigo finely ground; expose to a heat of 160 deg. F. for 10 or 12 hours, stirring occasionally. A little rubbed on the window pane should assume a purple blue color. <> -0- How ie Break Strings. The tollowing is an ingenious mode of breaking strings which will often prove ser- viceable when a cutting-tool is not at hand. -ass the cord around the left hand, so that it crosses itself at the point where it is de- sired to separate it, wind one end about the fingers of the left hand, and then, holding the other end firmly at a distance from the ‘| left hand of about a foot (or more in propor- tion to the size of the cord), bring the hands together and then separate them with a sud- den jerk, the left hand being at the same time held closed. A strong cord can be broken in this manner with very slight effort and without hurting the hands. : ~~ 9 <> Dairy Matters. Alma is to have a cheese factory. The Centreville Creamery Co, will pay out $4,000 per month for cream, judging from present indications. It has distributed 500 cans. The Fairfield township, Lenawee county, farmers sold $22,292.34 worth of cheese dur- ing 1884. The cost of manufacturing was $3,306.77. ——_—__-_ >> “Gave a Full Report,” From the Cadillac Times. That enterprising journal, Tims MICHIGAN TRADESMAN, gave a full report of the two days’ session of the Michigan Dairymen held at Grand apts last week. ——>—-@--<— > The adulteration of milk is at present re- ceiving the attention of the Paris authori- ties, who are considering the best means of checking the modes practiced by dealers. The consumption is more than a quarter of a million quarts daily, and M. Ch. Girard, chief of the municipal laboratory, announces that bicarbonate of soda and water are the chief means of adulteration. > o> Customer- Give me a pound of oleomar- garine!’’ Grocer—‘Yes, ma’am; here’s your change.””? Customer—‘‘Why, you’ve charged me nineteen cents; it used to be eighteen.” Grocer—‘‘Yes, ma’am; but we are not allow- ed to sell it now—there’s a law agin it—so it dearer!” The story is told of a Chicago Board of Trade man who, when lately in St. Louis, and wishing to inform his house that the market had declined and that he would be home on the following day, telegraphed: “Wheat has gone toh—. I will be there to- morrow.” A book just published is entitled, ‘‘Hiow to make $500 Yearly Profit with 12 Hens.” Such a volume is not calculated to find favor with the thousand or more egg pack- ers who have pickled eggs ata loss during the past season. “Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them,” remarked a small man in the street car as a fat woman sat square down on him. <> -9- <> Immense | crops of mustard are produced in Southern California, and several mustard mills have lately been established in San Francisco to work up the product.

The first patent granted to an inmwentor in| the United States is mentioned in a speech of Ex-Senator Wadleigh, of New Hamp-| shire, in the Forty-fifth Congress. The Sen- ator said: “An intelligent gentleman of my own State has referred me to an act of the general court of Massachusetts Bay, passed | in 1646, granting to one of his ancestors, Joseph Jenks, the exclusive right of making | and selling his improved scythe for the term | of fourteen years. That, I think, was the first patent granted to an inventor in Amer- ica. The improvement referred to changed the short, thick, straight English scythe into the longer, thinner, curved implement with | stiffened back now in use. .> The éontempiated glass- sworks at Michi- gan City will soon be begun. A stock com- pany has already been organized by the citi- zens, for the purpose of building one of the largest glass-works in the west, at a cost ranging from $100,000 to $150,000.

Mansfield, Michigan representative Pe B radner Smith & Co., Chicago, has gone | to the Garden City on business. Albert Friend, of the late firm of Friend, Joyce & Co., at Manistee, will take to the ' road, as soon as he can secure a position. The Muskegon News speaks of Steve Sears as a “handsome man.”. How much Steve paid for the compliment is not stateg. Geo. Bb. Mather has been engaged by the Kentucky Railroad Tobacco Co., of Coving- ton, Ky., to work Railroad and K. of L. plug ‘among the city trade. | J. A. Crookston states that Soliman Snooks’ coutribution on the benefits of se- cret societies was read aloud before the Ma- ' sonie lodge of Charlevoix? J. D. M.

Charley Robinson attended an inaugura- tion banquet at Cadillac last Wednesday ev- ening and was asked to respond to the toast of ‘‘The Drummer.” He talked for two hours at the end of which time half the com- pany had slipped away from the hall and the remainder were fast asleep. A Birmingham, England, commercial house, acting up to the spirit of the age, has employed lady travelers. Placing great faith in the power of beauty on tradesmen, the house in question selected pretty women as its representatives. It will be difficult for traders to withstand the canvass of such uncommercial travelers. The traveling man who seeks trade in the small towns where all the heat in the hotels is confined to the office and kitchen—ther- mometer at twenty below—has a perpetual ead: of ee usure, Boccanes: ae enjoy- ment is varied by a ride across the country with two or three big trunks and valises, facing a stiff north-wester, or lay out all night in the cars behind a snow plow. They usually get fat over it and catch some terri- ble colds in the bargain. William H. Pittwood—better known as “Billy’—died at Mitchell, Dak., Sunday afternoon, and the remains are now on their way to this city for interment. ‘Billy’? was educated at Albion College, and was for a time engaged in trade in this city, after which he worked for Geo. Crawford, of Big Rapids, several years. Subsequently, he traveled for John Caulfield for four or five years. About three years ago, he engaged in the grocery business at Mitchell, Dakota, under the firm name of Knowles & Pittwood. He was a good salesman and a warm-hearted man.

Mister Editer of Traidsman: DEAR Str—I swon to gratious, if I kuo whar to commence to begin to tell you the goins on during the past week. Some tink- ered thing or other 1s all the time hapnin to mar the harmuny of things in general at the Corners. When one screw aint lose, then another is. The post office is yet a bone of contenshun, but that has ben overshadered (modern meaning) by the skating rink ex- citement. Now you kno, Bro. Stowe, ’m a good natered man and a peaceful man and I want peace, even if I have to fight to get it, as I telled em durin the late war. But I never sposed fora minnit that any harm wood cum from such an inercent little thing asaroller rink. Ed Smikes told us lots about the rinks in your city and got us on to the plan to start one here. SoItooka sheer in it along with Wilkins, the insur- ance man, and a cupple of others, and we fitten up a rink in the old Slathers’ bildin, on Damlongue street, and went to quitea little lay out to bild an addition on behind it for skatin purposes. Well, every thing went off as happy as cood be for a hull week, and then trubble commensed. Our revival got to runnin, you kno, full blast, and the town bein most too small ta support both places, the conse- quenses was that the preacher, Rev. Mr. Ropemin, went for our little venture one night, bald headed. He said, “Brothers and Sisters, I am sorry to say that you have in your midst one of them sinks of iniquity, hotbeds of sin, Hell holes of Satan and open doors to perdition, called arink. Ihave no- ticed that but few of your young people are here to listen to the outpouring of the spirit, as I labor night after night. Whar are they? Isay, Whar! Go to that vile den, the skat- ing rink, and you will find them slidin and slippin around on wheels, to the seductive tones of a fiddle. Yes, bretherin and _ sis- ter, a fiddle, think of it! What a terri- ble thing it is, that your children, your dear ones will pay 10 cents each to enter that reak- in pit of sin, when they could come here to this church and get salvation without money and without price. Root it out, root it owt, or your young folks and even many older ones will be damned.” Just as he finished this denunciation, I heard Wilkins back by the stove say “Well Ile be d d.” Wilkins is nota chureh member, and I am sorry to say he is a little profane at times. I felt pretty allfired streaked myself and diddent kno what to say or do. Just then Deakin Skinner riz and says, “Bretherin and Sisterin, I agree with the mninister. Weought to root out all such things. Nip em in the bud, I say, nip em the bud afore they get too numerous. Iam opposed to ail such sinful amusements as rinks, dancin, theaters and all sich andl make a moshun that the house resolves it- self ina committy of the hole and have summoned afore it Bro. Soliman Snooks, a member of this church, who, I understand, is one of the owners of the said skatin rink.” (Great sensation.) Bro. Potter seconded the motion made by the last speaker and also said that the re cent dramatic entertainment at the Corners was, in his opinion, an enterin wedge driven by the Great Adversary. I begun t oget a leetle riled about this time and I noticed Wilkins was a hitchen around as if he was on a hot griddle. The preacher put the moshun and asked if any one had any remarks to make. So I riz and said as follers, towit, namely: “Mr. Chareman, feller citizens, and sisters: Iam in favor of the moshun now pendin afore this onerary body. And I further move an amendment to the efect that the said commity of the hole also inves- tigate, while they air about it, the efect of rinks in such towns as Grand Rappids and whether they efect the attendance at prayr meetins thar or not. Our worthy brothers who last spoke can no dout inform us, as they attended a meetin in that city a short time ago. I understand that they meta ‘Gent from Texas’ at that meetin who brothers probably gave them much light on this sub- ject.” Wilkins got Bro. Jones to support the mo- | shun to amend, but Deakin Skinner was on his feet in about 2 seconds, and you ought to seen his face. It was a sickly yaller, ex- cept the end of the nose, which was a nice royal purple: ‘Mister Moderator” (the Deakin is used to settin on a skool board) “on further thinkin this matter over, I beg the liberty to withdraw the original moshun, with the consentof my seconder, on the grounds that perhaps it wood be unyvise to stir up dissensions in the church just at present and out of respect to our worthy brother, Soliman Snooks.” (Clappin of hands back by the stove.) Bro. Potter hastened to withdraw his sec- ond, so the thing fell threw. Oh, no; I gess not. Soliman aint asleep, not this evening, he haint. When old Skin- ner and Bro. Potter gets threw this toll gate without payen, they will have to be mighty spry in the mornin. Bro. Ropemin was astonished at the efect of my little orashun, and said, ‘‘Will some one else make a similar moshun?” Just then up popped Wilkins and said, “May it please the onerable court, I wood like to ask the onerable court, if he cood in- form us as to when he, the said onerable court, last heard from Miss Rosa Hopkins, lof Quenden, Massachewsitts, who vanished and disappeared on or about the time the re- vival broke up thar, that was conducted by this onerable court.” Jerusalem! I never seen the beat of it, the way the beloved evangelist wilted. The “Court” did not seem to be “pleased” at all, so as the meetin was about out for the even- ing any way, he closed in due form. It was too bad for Wilkins to come out in that way and I told himso on the way home. Says I: “What was youa drivin at any how? what do you kno about that matter?” He says: ‘Never you mind, Sol., what Ime about. Ime onto his little racket and dont you forgetit. Its ‘Allin a Life Time’ and a friend of mine at Fall River Massachewsitts posted me on his record. He is a sheep in wolt’s clothing, but I wood a held my gab and not a’gin him away, if he had let our rink alone.” I felt pretty bad at the way things was goin but I dont kno but Wilkins was about right after all, for next evenin we all waited at the church a hull hour, but the evangelist failed to materialize and on investigatin we found he had left town bag and_ baggage, and to make matters worser, one of our most shinin lights and a constant attendant on the revival durin the past ten days, Miss Mary Jane Potts, is also missen. By gum! I wish we had never that confounded rink, which I fear sponsible for all this trubble. Old Potts is a flyin round now with a dub- ble barrelled shot gun on his shoulder, a re- volver in his hip pocket (Crouch-Holecomb patern) and blood in his eye. If he comes across the evangel I fear carnage will | fol- low. I tell you Bro. Stowe, we can’t be too careful in hirein strangers, and I gess_ that good old reliable Parson Mugger will do the savin of soles at the Corners, for little while any way. The sowin cirele, for the benefit of the heathen, met last night at Dekin Pratts house, and I am told that the ladies cum to the verdict after much discussing, that Mary Jane Potts was “no better than she shood be” and that she probably enticed Bro. Ropemin to wander from the narrer path. I swon to grashus! if I can see it in that light, and the Widder Spriggs cood not eith- er. She was present and give the circle a piece of her mind and a good chunk of it to. She is a spunky little critter, when she thinks wimmin are “trod on,” as_ she _ ealls it, and I heard her say a while ago that she believed she wood have more respect for Adam, if he had stood up to the rack and said: “Aye, Lord, it was I, even I was the hair pin that picked that apple and Eve only just ate the core of it. Punish me, but dont for | Heavens sake, multiply tne sorrows of poor | | Eve,” ' Tam inclined to think thewidder is about | right, for cum to think of it, the man, when it cames to forbidden fruit, most generally takes the meat and leayes the coreand seeds for the poor partner inthe transaction. I tell you, I believe in sticken up for the wim- min folks, for, you see,my mother wasa woman and by astrange coincidence my sister and wife was, too. Unless unkle Potts shoots someone, or some other calamity happens this week, I think 1 shal devote my next epistle to treat- in on fools in general and the ‘“‘stop my pa- per” fool, in perticular. The Corners is all broke up just now over the triberlations of the past few days, but | we are growin cammer every minnit. With | charity towards all, SOLIMAN SNOOKs, G. D., P. M. and J. P.
