How the Dyeing, Steaming and Finishing are Done. : From the Boston Journal of Commerce. For the gratification of such as are not ac- quainted with calico printing processes, we would state that there are several different styles of work, each requiring different methods of manipulation. There are five different styles of dyeing, viz.: madder style, resist style, the padding style, discharge style, China-blue style, and the steam col- ors. These several styles will be taken up in their regular order. Madder fills a very important place in the first preparation of cloth for printing after being bleached. No two colors or patterns take the same amount of madder, but that is the groundwork of body, although other in- gredients have to be added, such as oak bark ground with sumac, ete., which takes the color of pink. Madder comprises very large- ly the component part, with oak bark and sumae, but when the pure color of chocolate is wanted, madder as an ingredient is super- seded hy other bodies; oak bark is increased in weight to the number of pieces very ma- terially to what it was in pink. Now, for pink, sixteen pieces take thirty-six pounds of madder, ten pounds of ground oak bark, and five of sumac. Madder, to which the best chintz belong, in which the mordant is applied to the white cloth with many precautions, is a foreign substance only. ‘T'wo places are resorted to for it. In Turkey a very good grade of madder is procured, but the best is taken out of the mines in the south of France, and is of the finest quality. This is a vegetable substance, and when dried is composed of fine particles and forms in the earth the same as coal. The madder style, called by some dip colors, to which true chintz colors belong, have from five to seven colors, sev- eral of which are ground in after the first dye has been given in the bath tub of mad- der. In dyeing with madder, sumac, fustic, or quercitron, is sometimes added to the bath in order to produce a variety of tints with the various mordants at one operation. Suppose we wish to produce figures con- taining red, purple and black; the three mordants may be applied at once by the three-color cylinder machine, putting into the first trough acetate of alumina, thickened into the second acetate of iron, and into the third a mixture of the two, then drying in the air a few days to fix the iron, then dung- ing and dyeing in a bath of madder and _ su- mae. If it be wished to procure the finest madder reds and pinks besides the purple and black, acetate of alumina of two densi- ties must only be applied, first by two cylin- ders, then dryed, dunged, and dyed in a middle bath. The mordant of iron liquor for the black, and of iron liquor mixed with the aluminas for the purple, must be now grounded in by blacks, taking care to insert these mordants in their proper places on those proportions of the cloth on which the mordant is applied for the chintz pattern. The coloring matter attaches itself in a dur- able manner, but on the more unmordant- ed portions the color is feebly attached, so that it may be wholly removed by washing, either in soap and water in a mixture of bran and water, or in a delicate solution of chloride of lime. The object of the resist style of dyeing is produce a white or colored design on a col- ored ground, topical application in the first place. of asubstance called resist paste, which has the property of preventing the attachment of color, when the whole surface of the cloth is afterward impregnated with a dyeing material. One class of resists, consisting of substances of an unctuous na- ture, acts merely mechanically and chemical- ly. The latter kind are divisible into two subdivisions according as their influence is exerted on the mordant or in the coloring matter itself. Resists of an unctuous ha- ture are chiefly used for silk and woolen goods, but may be also advantageously ap- plied in particular circumstances to goods of cotton, as in the combination of such a style of work as madder and steam colors. In an early stage of the process, after having been printed, dyed and cleared, the red and lilac figures are covered with a resist consisting usually of a mixture of suet and gun water. In this style of work the madder might as well be performed at one operation, as the red lilac mordants are not at all injured by the fat resist with which they are covered. The material generally used for preventing the decomposition of a mordant on particu- lar parts of the cloth is an acid of acidulous salt, capable of uniting with the base of the mordant to form a compound soluble in wa- ter, and not decomposible into an insoluble subsalt during the hanging of the mordanted goods previovs to dunging and dyeing. The resist commonly employed for the iron and aluminous mordants is lemon juice or lime juice, or a mixture of one of these with tar- taric and oxalic acid, and bisulphate of pot- ash. When a piece of cotton cloth is print- ed, with a solution of salts of tin, by the first roller of a two-color machine, and with iron liquor by the second roller over the parts printed by the first roller, such a mix- ture as the above is of course burned wher- ever the salt of tin has been applied, and no subacetate of iron is deposited there during the ageing. The protochloride of tin, how- ever, is never applied in this way witha view of producing a white figure on a col- | ored ground; it is commonly mixed with red ‘| liquor as the deposition of the insoluble sul- phate of alumina from that preparation is not interfered with by the protochloride. After a piece of cloth thus printed has been aged, dunged, dyed in the madder bath, and cleared, it therefore presents a red figure surrounded by: purple or lilae. The padding style is one in which the whole surface of the calico is imbued with a mordant upon which, afterward, different colored figures may be raised by the topical application of other mordants joined to the action of the dye bath. To produce a figure in a mineral eoloring material, the cloth may be first printed with one of the two saline solutions, and be afterward uniformly im- pregnated with the other. To obtain a ground of a mineral color, one or both solu- tions may be applied by the padding ma- chine. Any mordant whatever, such as the acetates of alumina of iron or their mixture, may be applied to the piece by the padding machine, after which it is dried in the hot flue, washed, dyed, washed and brightened. Mineral coloring matters are adapted natur- ally to the production of designs on a white or colored ground, but also to form a ground for the reception of a design in other colors. To impart the color to the entire surface of the cloth, the latter may be impregnated successfully by the padding machine, with the two solutions necessary to produce the color, or the cloth may be padded in one of the solutions and afterward winched in the other. To produce a design in a mineral coloring matter on a white or colored ground, the cloth is usually first printed with one of the solutions and then either padded or winched in the other. Chrome yellow, or yellow and orange, are produced by two chromates of lead, chrome yellow and chrome orange. To impart a ground of chrome yellow the cloth should be padded with a solution of two pounds of acetate of lead in a gallon of water containing a little size, then dried, passed first through a weak solution of carbonate of soda, and afterward through a solution of bichromate of potash, then dried. The manner of producing a white or col- ored pattern on a colored ground, by the top- ical operation of a discharger to a cloth al- ready mordanted or dyed, is applicable to both mineral and vegetable coloring matters. Like the’resist paste, the discharger may act either on the coloring matter itself or on the mordant before the cloth is exposed toa dyeing liquid. Discharges for mordants are generally acid mixtures quite similar to re- sists or mordants, but discharges for color- ing materials are obtained from different elasses of chemical substances according to the nature of the coloring matter to be re- moved. The essential property required in a discharger is that of converting the sub- stanees on the cloth into colorless prod- ucts which may be removed from the cloth so as not to interfere with the subsequent application of a coloring material to the parts discharged. The materials used as dischargers for vegetable coloring principles are chlorine and chromie acids. To effect the topical discharge of a vegetable coloring matter by means of chlorine, with the production of a white figure, the dyed cloth is printed on these parts, which are to be discharged, with a thickened acid mixture, the compo- sition of which is varied according to the fastness of the color to be destroyed. The chemical reactions which take place in this process are by no means complicated. Chlo- ride of lime does not of itself bleach Turkey red and some other fast colors immediately, so that a cloth dyed with such colors may remain for some minutes in contact with a solution of chloride of lime without any de- terioration in color. Almost the only col- ors to which chlorine can be thus applied as a discharger are Turkey red and other mad- der colors and indigo, as the more delicate colors are easily discharged by chloride of lime alone. The style of calico printing by which the China blue tints are produced is an interest- ing modification of the topical style, ‘These tints are distinguished by having blue fig- ures, usually of two or three different depths of color, associated with white. This style of printing is not carried on very extensive- ly on the account of the expense. Before the printed cloth is exposed to steam the coloring may in general be easily removed by washing with pure water, but afterward it is attached to the tissues almost as strongly as any other style of printing, presenting a brilliancy and delicacy hardly attainable by any other process. The system of steam prints, instead of dyeing, has very much increased of late years, so that’at the present time only a few colors are dyed. This has reference to the common style of print goods. This process of steaming is for the purpose of raising the colors that have been printed. Some grades or styles have to be printed twice; the first time is to lay the ground work, after that the figure is printed on the ground work. The way that many of our printing establishments steam their prints is to hang them on racks resting on an iron frame, when that being on trucks is run into large cylinders, when the door is closed tight anda certain pressure of steam is brought to bear on the prints. From twenty iifutes to half an hour is consumed, but that depends on the color, when they are removed and another is subjected to the same process. These prints, when steamed, are found to be rich and beautiful colors. These are all fast colors, made so by passing through certain chemical solutions, setting the color permanently. Some receive more attention than others. It depends entirely upon the color required to be raised in ad- dition to the steaming, and when this is done the cloth passes through a receptacle of boiling fluid containing whatever color is required, and from that it is run through sets of rollers resting in vats of soap and water, and from that to rolls resting in clear water; this is to thoroughly cleanse the cloth from all foreign substance. All steamed as well as maddder-dyed prints, in finnishing pass through a process of bluing and starching, when they are run over and under a set of cylinders full of hot steam, when they are dried. After that they are run through the dampening, where a fine spray of water is thrown onto the prints by a revolution of a brush that runs so rapidly that it is dampened just right for the winding and folding machines in the fin- ishing and packing room. These goods are put in presses where they receive a heavy pressure, leaving them in shape for the mar- ket. Each package receives a nicely en- graved stamp of a lithograph style and beau- tiful in design. Usually the name of the firm is on the stamp, stating number of yards in each piece. i Oe Money in Literature. Money is a handmaiden if thou knowest to use it; a mistress, if thou knowest not.— Horace. The value of a dollar is to buy just things; a dollar goes on increasing in value with all the genius and all the virtue of the world. A dollar in a university is worth more than a dollar in a jail; in a temperate, scholarly, law-abiding community than in some sink of crime.—Emerson. Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.— Goethe. By doing good with his money, a man as it were Stamps the image of God upon it, and makes it pass current for the merehan- dise of Heaven.—Rutledge. The philosphy which affects to teach us a contempt of money does not run very deep. Henry Taylor. It happens a little unlueky that the per- sons who have the most intimate contempt of money are the same that have the strong- est appetites for the pleasures it procures.— Shenstone. Men are seldom more innocently employ- ed than when they are making money.— Johnson. Whoever has sixpence is sovereign over all men—to the extent of the sixpence; com- mands cooks to feed him, philosophers to teach him, kings to mount guard over him— to the extent of sixpence.—Carlyle. He that wants money, means and con- tent, is without three good friends. —Shakes- peare. A wise man should have money in head, but not in his heart.—Swift. Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust.—Holmes. Money is only thus fara standard of value: that which it can measure is _per- ishable, that which it cannot is immortal.— Bovee. Covetous men need money least, yet most affect it; and prodigals who need it most, do least regard it.—Theodore Parker. Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use.—Johnson. The Romans worshipped their standard, and the Roman standard happened to be an eagle. Our standard is only one-tenth of an eagle—a dollar—but we make all even by adoring it with a ten-fold devotion.—E. A. Poe. To cure us of our immoderate love of gain we should seriously consider how many goods there are that money will not pur- chase, and these the best; and how many evils there are that money will not remedy, and these the worst.—Colton. —_——__—~ + A Close Friend. ‘Who is that across the street?” “Oh, that is a very close friend of mine.” “Indeed?” ‘Yes. Never lends a cent.” ——____ >_> Dogwood is used for the handles of light tools and agricultural implements, cogs of mill wheels, shuttles, and similar purposes. A correspondent of an English paper, having asked when to cut oak timber, was very properly informed that the best time was when the market was not overstocked with oak timber. The wood of the phillyrea, is, perhaps next to box, the best for wood engraving. It has been used for the purpose with entire suecess, with the advantage that blocks of large size can be had of it without joining. It works as well as box; and for hardness and durability in printing, seems to be but little inferior. his WAIL OF A DYSPEPTIC. Wholesale Adulteration of Food the Cause of Dyspepsia. From the Chicago News. “Oh, I’m used up with. the dyspepsia,” declared a sour-visaged, discontented look- ing man to an acquaintance as he leaned against a bar chewing a nutritious tooth- pick. ‘‘I’m only one of thousands,” he add- ed with a heavy sigh, ‘‘who have been made dyspeptic in America by the adulterations of food. No use to talk climate or cookery tome. It is the adulteration of food that creates dyspepsia. Why, bless you, the American cooking is on the average the best in the world, but it is almost impossible to get anything pure to cook. **Alum is mixed with yeast powder, bak- ing powders are adulterated with chalk and sugar, sirup and honey are extensively doc- tored. The first three are adulterated with glucose, which is manufactured by treating starch or woody fiber with sulphuric acid. It is never advertised—glucose isn’t—I can tell you, and it isn’t easy to find. A large dealer told me the other day that he didn’t believe he’d had any genuine molasses in his store for years. I never buy any honey unless I get it from an intimate friend. Milk is weakened with water and colored with a prepartion made in the east. It is not generally known, either, but it is a fact that the milk of farrow cows is unfit for food, being filled with an effete excretory matter. And butter—faugh!—it is not only adulterated, but counterfeited. Fat cheese is made from skimmed-milk mixed with lard and tallow so skillfully as to defy detection. I was at an exhibit of butter and cheese in the state of New York awhile ago where the first prize was awarded to a cheese which the makers, with pride—mind you, with pride—afterward affirmed to be a man- ufactured article. “Do you know what gluten meal No? Well,.you see that advertisement, but you don’t see glucose. Fine fruit flavors— what do you think they are largely made is? from? Ah! the chemist has wonderful re- sources. They are are made to a great ex- tent from rotten cheese, fusel oil, sulphuric acid, ether, and other things quite as injur- ious to the delicate linings of the stomach. Many of the soda-water sirups, confections, and jellies are flavored with such stuff. Of course a few persons use genuine fruit fla- vors. The sirup and lime juice is strength with sulphuric acid. Candy is composed largely of glucose and flour. Mighty little pure sugar goes into it. Manufacturers claim the substitute which is made from corn is not objectionable. Candy is adulterated with various sub- stances. Sometimes terra alba is used, and the coloring matter is often highly objec- tionable. “Tea is adulterated with birch, elm, and other leaves; as well tea leaves, with poison- ous colorings. Ground coffee sold in packages is often quite a counterfeit. Among the other coffee adulterations, be- sides the old stand-by chicory, are dried liv- er, beans, peas, all kinds of grain, tan bark, and sawdust. Spices are mixed largely with inert substances, and then injurious matter has to be added to give them fictitious strength. “Thirty-two deadly poisons are known to be used inthe adulteration of wines, and whisky is even treated worse. The popular lager beer is adulterated also to an alarming extent, for it is drunk freely by so many un- der belief that it is healthful and cannot be meddled with as are alcoholic beverages. Even drugs—the very drugs used for adul- terations—are themselves adulterated. Dead- ly poisons are adulterated; Paris green, for instanee, being one. “Tt is impossible to estimate the amount of poison people take into their systems daily, and it’s no wonder some of us have wrecked constitutions,” eoneluded the grum- bler, as he finished his toothpick sauntered out, wearing an expression of enmity to all sourmness of lemon willow, oak, with spent also , the world. —_—> —§-~<2>— Worth Remembering. Men who are the fastest asleep when they are asleep, are the widest awake when they are awake. Great workers must be great rester. Every man who has clerks in his employ ought to know what their sleeping habits are. The young man who is up until 2, 3 and 4 o’elock in the morn- ing, and must put in his appearance at the bank or store at 7 or 8 o’elock and work all day cannot repeat this process many days without a certain shakiness coming into his system, which he will endeavor to steady by some dlelusive stimulant. It is in this way that many a young man begins his course to ruin. He need not necessarily have been in bad company. He has lost his sleep, and losing sleep in losing strength and grace. << ——— Gruffness and ill-nature are not essential to the best shop or mill management. Fore- men with dyspeptic stomachs do not;necessa- rily turn out the best work. There is such a thing as firm discipline coupled with gen- tlemanly bearing, and the foreman who cul- tivates the latter without relaxing the {for- mer is the most likely to get the best results, at the same time making himself ‘‘solid” with both employers and men. ~ SV The Michigan Tradesmal. - A JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO THE Mercantile and Nanufacturing Interests of the State.

Equal to the Emergency. A wild-eyed man entered a pawnshop and wished to see some pistols. “JT sells you dot pistol for two dollar,” said the clerk. “P}] take it.

Vat shall I do?” “Sharge him five dollar.” —_$—>_» > The Logic of Prices. From the Chicago News. “Push the price of flour up another noteh,” said a Minneapolis miller to his manager. “J see England and Russia are likely to have war.” “But the latest news indicates an amica- ble settlement of the difficulty.” “Js that so? Well, then, push the price up two notches. Of course the fewer persons killed in war the more will live to want flour.” . —____2-<____ Why She Chose Him. “Well, Marie, have you made up your mind whether to accept Mr. Strong’s or Mr. Week’s offer?’ “Yes, mamma. Mr. Strong.” “But Mr. Weeks is much the better match financially.” “Yes, mamma, I know that. But then Mr. Strong is taller and more muscular, and I’m afraid Mr. Weeks couldn’t put up and take down the stove-pipe very well.” 2 A match that will strike several times is an ingenious invention, though not exceed- ingly useful. Such a match has recently been invented. The Russian department of commerce and manufactures has awarded a patent to the inventor of a means of so im- pregnating wood with a certain chemical that, when dried, the matches made from this prepared wood can be used several times over, thus effecting a saving of, it is claimed, at least seventy-five per cent. A further saving of matches is proposed to be accomplished by an electric gas lighter, an- other novelty, recently introduced. It con- sists of a tiny electric battery which can be attached toa gas burner. The battery is connected with a little reservoir of inflam- able material, sufficient in quantity to light 60,000 gas jets. One only has to turn on the gas, raise the lighter to it, touch a spring, and the gas is lighted. A man might con- sider some time before he concluded to go to the expense of having the electric lighter fitted up in his parlor, but it might prove a cheap inyestment in the long run. The people of the Pacific coast obtain their supply of codfish from the Chaumogin Islands. The various firms in San Francis- eo engaged in the trade have different places, known only to themselves, to which they an- nually send their vessels, and great care is taken to keep the good fishing spots a secret for their own benefit. The fleet remains in Alaska waters from two to three and a half months, visiting all the islands along the northern shore of Alaska. The fishing is done from boats. The greatest obstacle en- countered is the dense cold fog that hangs over the islands during the season, as is the ease on the Newfoundland Banks. The first paper floor ever laid has just been completed in the new rink at Indian- apolis, Ind. This floor is made by pasting and pressing straw boards together under a powerful hydraulic press, in the same way as the disks of the paper car wheels are made. When these blocks are perfectly seasoned and dried they are sawed into flooring boards and laid with the edge of the paper forming the surface of the floor. The Ihave decided to marry surface is sand-papered until it is as smooth as one vast sheet of ice, and the adhesive quality of the paper prevents any slipping of the roller upon the floor. Already during the present season nine whales have been caught off Los Angeles coast and taken into Portugese Bend, a quiet cove about eight miles west of San Pedro, where about thirty men are constantly em- ployed in harpooning these monster beasts of the ocean, cutting up the carcasses, render- ing the blubber into oil, and putting the same into barrels, extracting the whalebone, and sending the refuse of the animal out to sea to avoid pestilence on land. “Father,” he said as he came running in| from school, “did you ever drill an oil well and make $50,000?” did.” “I was in hopes you had, for 1 want- ed to brag to the boys.” “Well, you can tell em that, although I never drilled an oil well and made $50,000, an oil broker once drilled me and made $75,000, which is about the same thing, I guess.” An enterprising trade newspaper, with a fair circulation, is in a position to do the ad- vertiser great good. In its sphere the trade newspaper is worth a dozen New York Her- alds or Tribunes, with their circulation of hundreds of thousands, to an advertiser in whose interest the trade journal is published. —Coal Trade Journal. Hop vines, usually a waste product in this country, are said to have proved not only good stock for fine paper, but the best sub- stitute yet obtained for rags in French paper mills.

From the American Marketman. We are much pleased and in fact surprised at the handsome showing of THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN’s patronage and immense in- crease in its subscribers, who are to be found in every section of the West. Mr. Stowe’s close connection with a number of trade organizations gives his journal an ad- vantage possessed by few other publications ot that character. The amount of interest- ing and valuable trade news collected and published in THE TRADESMAN is wonder- ful. Asan advertising medium, we know of no paper in the West that we would in- vest our money in with as sure a certainty of return as having a card in THE TRADES- MAN. We heartily join the many friends and patrons of the paper, in wishing it a continuation of its present progress and popularity. or OO An artesian well 1,250 feet deep, near Stockton, Cal., supplies inflammable gas which is utilized as fuel for household uses by the owner of the well.

The magni- tude of this un- equaled circu- lation is best appreciated when it is said that it exceeds the circulations of all other Chicago dai- lies combined. Taking from the three stan- dard newspaper directories — Ayer & Son's Annual, Rowell’s Directory and “<< Hubbard’sDirectory—the << quotations which most nearly represent the actual circulations of the Chicago press, the accompany- ing diagram correctly illustrates their relative positions as to extent of circu- lation. From these figures it appears that the circulation of Tue Curcaco DaILy News exceeds the combined circulations of all the other Chicago dailies by 19,893 copies daily. The Post Orrick Revirw says: ‘‘ Nearly everybody who reads the English language in, around or about Chicago reads THe Datty News.” The reasons for this phenomenal success are obvious: THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS is a complete newspaper in all that constitutes It isa member of the Associated Press, and is the only 2-cent paper in the West that possesses this first essential to a com- plete news service. In_ addition, it has its private wire (by lease from the Western Union Telegraph Co.) connecting its Chicago office with New York and Washington, at both of which points it has its own news bureaus. Special corre- spondents represent it at all other important news centres throughout the country. THE Cuicaco DaiLy News prints ALL the news. Circulation in America. It is an independent paper. It recognizes the utility of political parties as means for the accomplish- ment of proper ends, but it declines to regard any mere party as a_ fit subject for un- questioning ad- oration. It is not an organ, and therefore escapes the temptation of condoning the questionable under the pres- sure of partisan allegiance. 14 is unbiased in its 7 presentation of all 7 political news. It solicits the patronage of intelligent, thoughitul, honest people, who love country more than party. Its staff of writers in charge of the departments of art, literature, musie and the drama is unquestionably the ablest of all the Chicago press. THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS isa “short and to the point” paper. It believes that newspaper reading is but an incident of the day, not its chief business. It accordingly leaves to the ‘blanket- sheets” the monopoly of tiresome and worthless amplification. It seeks to say all that the reader should care to read, and to say it in the shortest possible manner. It is a daily paper for busy people. It is a clean paper, fit for the family circle. It is a cheap paper—2 cents per day, 12 cents per week, 50 cents per month, $6.00 per year. Sold by all_news dealers throughout the Northwest. Mailed to any address, post-paid, upon receipt of price. Where the facilities of a daily mail are’ not enjoyed Tue CurcAGo WEEKLY Nrws is recommended as ‘‘the next best.” It is a large 8 page, 64 column paper, Care- fully made up to meet all the varying needs of the family circle. It is the largest ‘dollar weekly” in America. It is equal to the best. Detroit, Mackinac & Marquette. GOING | OINC GOING = STATIONS. eke | Ae. | Ex. Ac. | Ex. Po | iP M. | | } | 4 50 Ar.

Prom the Chicago News. “The sale of foreign preserved fruits is necessarily very limited,” said a Chicago re- tail dealer, who claims to keep on hand the finest groceries the world affords. ‘They are very expensive, for beside being subject to duty they are put up in the best manner known, and are all the best selected fruit. American fruits crowd them pretty close, however, and the method of preserving for the market shows improvement yearly. The fruits from the south of France, and partic- ularly from the south of Germany, are of finer flavor than the American product. Whether this is due partially to climate or entirely a superior system of cultivation I cannot say. Iam inclined to the opinion that American soil, cultivated as highly as the European, would produce just as good an article. The German small fruits are pe- euliarly rich in flavor and fine in grain. Now, you could not eat more than two or three of these strawberries,” and held up to view a small slender-necked glass jar filled with a ruby-hued berry about the size of a walnut. The jar held somewhat less than a apidt. ‘‘You could eat a plateful of the American preserved strawberry, though,” he continued. ‘‘What does such a jar re- tail for? One dollar. Nearly all of that old-fashioned delicacy, preserved ginger, sold in the American stores is obtained from one firm in Canton. It comes in two ways, crystallized and dry, in small boxes and in earthen jars.” “From where are the best prunes import- ed?” “Oh, from France. They come packed in boxes and in glass jars. The latter are peculiarly large and fine and used for des- sert uncooked, the sameas raisins. The Turkish prune is much inferior, but a far more prolific crop. The best table raisins are the bunch Dehese. The brands used mostly for cooking purposes are, Valencias, sultanas, Ondaras, and loose Muscatels. The best currents are the Vostizza. The cheaper grades come from Zantee. Dry pre- served lemon, citron, and orange peel is pre-7 pared mostly in this country, very little be- ing imported. The very finest citron grown in Spain, and it has the same quality of superiority over American citron that the Spanish melons possess, being thicker and of finer grain. Nearly all fruit glaces are imported from France. Prunellas are brought from Italy to some extent, but most of those used here are grown and dried in California. “There is considerable demand for for- eign cheese. Of course the Switzerkase leads. Itis astonishing how many people eat Switzerkase. The other Swiss cheese sold here is Neufchatel. It is all supposed to be made among the picturesque moun- tains of Switzerland of genuine goat’s milk, but lots of the article is manufactured in this country from cow’s milk, and some right here in Chicago. A popular dessert cheese is the edam, which is made in Amsterdam. The French goods are the fromage de Brie, fromage de Menauta, and fromage deis Sig- ma, all very nearlp alike, and each taking its name from the locality where it is manu- factured. Another French cheese is the Societe Roquefort. Grated Parmesan is a hard, dry cheese brought from Italy and us- ed with macaroni. There is a pretty steady eall for English cheese, which is better than the American article, and will be till we have as good milch stock and as rich pas- turage as they possess in Great Britain. The leading kinds are old Gloster, Cheddar and Stilton. The two latter are small cheeses, flat at each end.” “Do we import any cereals?” “Oatmeal is brought from Scotland and Ireland to some extent. The very best oat- meal in the world is produced in the little Emerald isle.” “Where are most of the olives grown?” “In Spain and Italy, although some are grown in the south of France. They are prepared for shipping, however, mostly in France. Large houses send buyers yearly through Spain and Italy to contract for the crop. The most of the olive oil is made in Italy, mills for the purpose being common. I know a young Italian in Chicago who last year purchased an olive mill in his na- tive land with his savings for the six years he had been in this country. The millers do not buy the olives of the growers, but grind or press them on shares, after the plan of the old-time flour-makers.” is ‘‘Are any mushrooms put up in this coun- try?” “Oh, they are all brought from France. English meadows produce good mushrooms, and this fungi is highly prizedthere. Truf- fles are seldom called for. They are used only to give piquancy to fhe game or fowl stuffing. Snails are asked for but by a few epicures with foreign-acquired tastes. Sar- dines are shipped from France when not from the coast of Maine, although no genu- ime sardines are caught along the American coasts, and the Maine fish dubbed with the name are rank and coarse. Teas are more largely Chinese and Japanese.” ‘Where are capers grown?” ‘In Franee, but they might just as well be grown and bottled in this country, for they are nothing more nor less than the nas- turtium seed. There are few country house- wives who do not pick green nasturtium seeds and throw them into a weak brine to keep till the autumn season of mixed-pickle and mango making. They are picked at different stages of growth, the smaller and most tender being the highest prized and bringing the most money. Nonpareils are the first picking, superfines the second, and capotes the third.” ‘“‘What do you consider the most impor- tant commodity of the American grocery trade?” “Coffee, by all odds. People could better do without sugar than without coffee. You may think that a strong statement, but it is indisputable. The Americans are a nation of coffee-drinkets. America consumes over one-third of the entire product of the world. No breakfast table, whether in the abode of the rich or of the poor, is considered com- plete without it. To many persons it is more necessary in the morning than food. Coffee contains valuable medicinal qualities; among others that of being anti-soporific, and therefore useful in cases of narcotic poisoning. It has been found to be one of the very best stimulants for administration to persons who are nearly dying from star- vation or cold. Alcoholic stimulants often prove fatal when given under the same cir- cumstances. It is invaluable as a disinfect- ing agent.” “Do you know when coffee was first used?” “No one knows that, for it was doubtless used by semi-barbaric tribes long before it was introduced to civilization. There are various legends and accounts given of its discovery. It was probably introduced into Arabia from southern Abyssinia no longer ago than the beginning of the sixteenth cen- tury. About fifty years later it became a favorite drink in Constantinople, and the oriental coffee houses were thronged every hour of the twenty-four. The Dutch gave Europeans their first knowledge of it, they having planted some berries on the island of Java. The young trees propagated from a single specimen plant sent to Amsterdam in 1690 furnished the East Indies, while the West Indies were supplied with another young tree which was presented by the mag- istracy of Amsterdam to Louis XIV., in 1714. It was a most expensive beverage in Europe for a great while. It is said it cost the French government $15,000 yearly to provide the daughters of Louis XV. with coffee. “Tn London the first coffee-house was op- ened by a Greek Jad and it met with more violent opposition, crusades more determin- ed than the prohibition movement being in- stituted against it and the heaviest tax im- posed upon our cherished beverage by the legislature. It was called ‘hell drink’ and ‘hell poison,’ and divers other profane epi- thets were applied to it.” “But where is it cultivated now?” inter- rupted the reporter. “Over almost all the tropical belt. There are between twenty-five and thirty different kinds of coffee. Brazil is merely in its in faney now, and it produces one-half the en- tire coffee crop. The strong coffees, Rio and Santos, are mostly grown there. The west and south are the principal consumers of Rio. The water here and south are so largely filled with lime that it destroys the fine, delicate properties of the mild coffees so prized in New England. You know cof- fee is divided commercially into two classes mild and strong. A very small amount of Mocha is brought into this country, that sold under the name not being Mocha at all. Why, the entire Arabian crop of Mocha would not supply Chicago alone. Probably only about 7,000 bales of Arabian Mocha are brought here annually, and about as much more of other brands of Mocha. “The most prominent of all mild coffees is Java. It is raised on the islands of Java and Sumatra, and ranks first in the estima- tion of the coffee drinkers in the United States. Ceylon is the rival of Java, but we seldom get any plantation Ceylon coffee here as it is sent to England. ‘‘Mexico raises some coffee, and there has been a wonderful improvement in the var- iety grown there in the last five years. Cal- ifornia, too, has turned her attention to cof- fee-growing, but as yet has done nothing more than experiment. There seems no good reason why this most important of all grocery products should not be produced somewhere in our varied climate.” “How much coffee is consumed here year- lye”? “Probably between five and seven hun- dred million pounds.” French bakers are making large use of vaseline in cake and other pastry. Its ad- vantage over lard or butter lies in the fact that, however stale the pastry may be, it will not become rancid. The council of hygiene disapproves of the practice, on the ground that the derivatives of petroleum contain no nutriment. It does not say dis- tinctly, however, that they are injurious to health. Soap trees similar to those growing in China and Japan are said to flourish in Flor- ida. They are prolific bearers of a berry about the size of a marble, which may be used as a substitute for soap just as they are taken from the trees. In Florida, howev- er, they are usually boiled down and cast in- to bars. It is thought they may be made to grow on Northern farms after a little accli- matization. A suit for $5,000 damages has been insti- tuted by a resident of Rome, Ga., against a local grocer who displayed in front of his store a card with the name of the prosecutor on it and the words, ‘‘ Deadbeat, $6.38.” ‘‘ Excuse me, it’s simply a weigh I have,” apologized the grocer, when the customer tackled him on a shortage. Turks Island salt will average seventy pounds to the bushel, and Liverpool sixty pounds. The Grocery Market. Business has been fair during the past week and collections ditto. Sugars are a sixpence higher and firmer at the advance. Palisade granulated is out of the market for a week or ten days, on account of the ex- haustion of the manufactured supply. Oth- er articles in the grocery line are about steady. Candy is quiet and steady. Fruits are firmer and higher. Nuts are steady and without change, with the exception of al- monds, which are a trifle higher. a Miscellaneous Dairy Notes. F. E. Pickett’s cheese factory, at Hil- liards, begun operations on the 20th. Bloomingdale township, Allegan county, will soon have its fourth cheese factory. The butterine factories have nearly all shut up for the season, and as a consequence that staple article is now about out a mar- ket. Freeport Herald: Joseph Post, of Clarks- ville, was in the village Tuesday looking ov- er this locality with a view of establishing a cheese factory here. A meeting will be held in Union Hall Wednesday evening, April 29, at which time the project will be dis- cussed in all its bearings. COUNTRY PRODUCE.

The first duty of an engineer, when he enters his boiler room in the morning, is to ascertain how many gauges of water there are in his boil- ers. Never unbank or replenish the fires until this isdone. Accidents have occurred, and many boilers have been entirely ruined from neglect of this precaution. 2, Low water. In case of low water, mediately cover the fires with ashes, or if no ashes are at hand, use fresh coal. Do not turn on the feed under any circumstan- ces, nor tamper with or open the safety valve. Let the steam outlets remain as they are. 3. In ease of foaming. Close throttle and keep closed long enough to show level of water. If that level is sufficiently high, feeding and blowing will usually suffice to correct the evil. In cases of violent foam- ing, caused by dirty water, or change from salt to fresh, or vice versa, in addition to the action before stated, check draft and cover fires with fresh coal. 4, Leaks. When leaks are discovered they should be repaired as soon as possible. 5. Blowing off. Blow off eight or ten inches at least once a week; every Saturday night would be better. In case the feed be- comes muddy, blow out six or eight inches every day. Never blow entirely off except when boiler needs scraping or repairing, and then not until fire has been drawn for at least ten hours, as boilers are ofter seri- ously injured or ruined by being emptied when the walls are hot. When surface blow cocks are used, they should be often opened for a few moments at a time.’ 6. Filling up the boiler. After blowing down, allow the boiler to become cool be- fore filling again. Cool water, pumped into hot boilers, is very injurious from sudden contraction. 7, Exterior of boiler. Care should be tak- en that no water comes in contact with exte- rior of boiler, either from leaky joints or other causes. 8, Removing deposit and sediment. In tubular boilers the hand-holes should be often opened, and all collections removed from over the fire. Also, when boilers are fed in front and blown off through the same pipe, the collection of mud or sediment in the rear end should be often removed. 9, Safety valves. Raise the safety valves cautiously and frequently, as they are liable to become fast in their seats, and useless for the purpose intended. 10. Safety valve and pressure gauge. Should the gauge at any time indicate an excessive pressure, see that the safety valves are blowing off. Incase of difference, no- tify the parties from whom the boiler was im- purchased. 11. Gauge cocks, glass gauge. Keep gauge cocks clear and in constant use. Glass gauges should not be relied on altogether. 12. Blisters. When a blister appears there must be no delay in having it careful- ly examined, and trimmed, or patched, as the case may require. 13. Clean sheets. Particular care should be taken to keep sheets and parts of boilers exposed to the fire perfectly clean, also all tubes, flues, and connections well swept. This is particularly necessary where wood or soft coal is used for fuel. 14. General care of boilers and connec- tions. Under all circumstances keep the gauges,cocks, etc., clean and in good order, and things generally in and about the engine room in a neat condition. ee Superiority of American Tools. At first sight, the wood-cutter who has swung the heavy and uncouth axe of Europe with the belief that weight and clumsiness are synomyous with force,may smile at the, to him, daintiness of the American axe, but when he finds that with half the exertion expended on the ruder he can accomplish twice the work with the implement, and that the latter will outlast the former, it seems to him like a revelation. Thus through the whole category of American tools and utensils the same principle prevails, and it only requires proper effort for the instruc- tion of those steeped in primitive usage and prejudiced against all innovation to bring our manufactures into general use. Of course the matter of cost is a great fac- tor in this question, for to the old-world arti- san, whose wages are made up of pennies, so to speak, the dearness of American tools as compared with those made at his village smithy seems insurmountable. But if he is shown that our ‘‘dear” tools are cheaper in the end than his own cheaper ones, and that he can accomplish far more, with’ far less waste of time and strength, by using the finer tools, he will, of course, purchase the latter. The obstacles, therefore, to the gen- eral use of American hand tools of all sorts are ignorance and prejudice born of igno- rance. Let us remove the first by patient and positive education, and the second, prejudice, will immediately disappear. —- -¢ — The experiment of making doors with one side white pine, to be painted, and the other yellow pine, to be finished in the grain, has not proved a success. The two woods do not work together, and the doors are apt to assume a rainbow shape. An English lockmaker has constructed a key which he claims is capable of opening 22,600 patent lever locks, all of which differ in their wards or combinations. As describ- ed, the key weighs three ounces, is nickel plated, and is said to be the result of three years’ labor on the part of the inventor in making drawings of the different wards and combinations. Use Of Petroleum as Fuel. From the Mining and Engineering Journal. A considerable degree of activity seems to prevail at the present moment among that ingenious and speculative fraternity whose field lies in the adaption of petroleum to genera! use as a fuel in all sorts of industri- al operations. It is a matter of some inter- est to those who keep the log for these men, to note the fact that there are at least three points involved in the usual methods of treatment of crude oil as an industrial fuel, upon one or all of which they stumble, eith- er through an absolute want of information or by reason of. an entire misapprehension of facts of which, in a fragmentary way, they may have learned something. One of these stumbling blocks is the effect of “super-heating” upon steam, which is so largely used by oil experimenters, and which by so many is believed to be completely transformed into hydrogen by the trifling superheat which they impart to it. Another halting place is found in the quantity of heat needed to vaporize the oil, so that it shall be burned with some freedom and hence in such quantity as to really ap- pear to be doing actual work. This heat is obviously derived from, and absorbed out of, the store of heat which is produced or ought to be in the fire box or heating chamber, and in which the useful work if any, must be done—and that there should be this large absorption is an obseure puzzle of a very trying kind to the ingenous inventor. Still a third difficulty is encountered by those who attempt to make what they call a fixed gas from oil, in order that the fuel my be thus readily distributed over a wider area in a works, and rendered more completely applicable to the various purposes for which itis intended. This difficulty lies in the length of time during which the vapor or gas in process of formation, must be kept or re- tained, in its passing through the hot retorts, in order that it may be fully transformed into the new series of hydrocarbon combina- tions due to the changes of temperature. The anxiety to get a large production of gas leads to the over-crowding of the retorts, to a rapid cooling, or to an excessive and unex- pected consumption of fuel beneath them, to a tarry development that will not be checked, to a choking (with soot and coke) of the smaller passages, and at length to a suspension of operations, and a drawing of fresh breath, so soon to be expended again | x by some in the chase after the same game, either with a fresh outfit, the rents and wear and tear having been mended, or over a field wholly new. Those who study accurately this particu- lar line of industrial effort know that the ab- solute nature of the oil used is such as to shut out even the pretense of a paying use of it in any of these ways except in the very rare cases of a combination of special need of quality in the flame, and an unusual range of prices. That so many experimenters can be found who ignore or deny this fact, can be accounted for upon hardly any ground rational than that they merely know hat oil burns with a hot flame and that hence they suppose it can be used for any kind of heating without reference to the quantity of heat which must be developed in any give case, or to its intensity or to the cost of paca. ——- + =< Black Birch for Inside Finish. Black birch for doors, wainscoting, and other interior work is being introduced to a considerable extent in new buildings, and it is certainly one of the handsomest of the many varieties of woods that are being in- troduced into new houses, while the cost is much less. Black birch is a close-grained wood, and much cheaper than either walnut or cherry. There is a great difference in the quality and color of birch, that growing upon high and dry land being hard and susceptible of good polish while the growth on swampy land is soft, and therefore not well suited for the purposes the upland product so ad- mirably fills. The editor of the Scientific American says: ‘The writer in construct- ing a new house last year had birch folding doors introduced against the protest of his architect, who. had never heard of birch wood being used for that or any other anal- ogous purpose. The result is most satisfac- tory to all parties, and to none of us more than the architect, who preferred the use of walnut or cherry. Possibly the builder took especial care in the selection of his material, so as to convinee the architect of his error and his (the builder’s) superior knowledge; but, however that may be, the black birch doors which in texture resemble satin wood, and in color dark cherry, are the admiration of every one who has seen them. “Birch grows in our northern latitude, and the trees attain considerable height and size in localities, and there is a_ species of bird’s-eye birch which is well calculated for furniture. It resembles birds’-eye maple, and when polished it possesses that sheen which renders satin wood so pleasing to the eye. We predict for black birch an impor- tant place among the fancy woods for house finishing and furniture.” —_—_——__> +> A colossal steam boiler, recently built at Wiessenthal, inthe Grand Duchy of Baden, is believed to be the largest in the world. It weighs 40 tons, and the builder celebrated the completion of it in a manner at once odd and becoming. He gave his workmen a lunch in its bowels. Covers were spread upon a table for thirty persons, and racks for crockery and things to eat were put along the sides. It was not with the utmost ease that the workmen got into the dining hall, since they were obliged to slip through an opening in the top about three feet square. more In our age there is not a man born who ean stand up and say: “I have learned enough, I cannot be taught anything that I do not know.” Nobody, in any trade, can now-a-days dispense with trade papers; any tradesman or manufacturer or technician who would undertake to wrap himself up in the self-sufficiency of his own stock of knowledge, would soon experience its utter insufficiency. History shows us by striking examples—and we need not go back over many ages—the perversity and the sad con- sequences of such imaginary superiority and consequent exclusiveness in industry, as- sumed by whole nations. Both the English and French have for centuries monopolized the markets of the world for certain prod- ucts of their industries; they thought them- selves invincible on that line; that their goods would forever command the market, however worthless; to-day they are com- pelled to admit that their manufacture is not only equalled, but in many respects ex- celled by those of America and Germany, and are actually losing ground on all sides. It is the generalization and popularization, by the trade papers, of knowledge in trade matters which has brought about such a turn of affairs; which has placed our own indus- tries on a level with those of the old manu- facturing countries of Europe; and it would be a great mistake, therefore, for any man- ufacturer or tradesman to ignore the organs of the press representing his special trade.

THe TRADESMAN with a call. Jas. D. Barner, Michigan agent for the Hall Type Writer, who has been in the East during the winter, has returned to Grand Rapids and re-established an office for the sale of the type writer. John Read, with Foster, Stevens & Co., is preparing for a vigorous summer’s cam- paignh, having already acquired a row boat, - a pair of rubber boots anda pint flask. A complete fishing tackle outfit has also been ordered. Jacob Jesson and wife, of Muskegon, spent Sunday in the city, the guests of Judge Montgomery. Mr. Jesson climbed the steps leading to THE TRADESMAN office, and reaffirmed his belief in the enactment of the pharmacy bill. E. A. Owen, the Plainwell groceryman, pulled THe TRADESMAN’S latch-string one day last week. Mr. Owen has lately return- ed from a pleasure trip through the South and is fairly captivated with the climate and business opportunities of Alabama and Mississippi. Traverse City Herald: H. Montague and E. P. Wilhelm, foremen respectively of the grocery and dry goods departments of the Hannah & Lay Mere. Co., left this morning for Chicago to buy stock for their depart- ments. They will be gone a week or ten days. Ben. W. Putnam, of Putnam & Brooks, has returned from a three weeks’ Eastern trip, the longest period he has been absent from business for about fifteen years. He says that tradeis quieter at the seaport cities than in Grand Radids, but that signs of improvement are everywhere visible. 9 Concerning Chattel Mortgages. was in town He favored A reader of THE TRADESMAN sends in a couple of queries, which have been submitted to a responsible legal. authority, with the following result: 1. Does a chattel mortgage have to be ac- knowledged by a notary or justice to make the same legal, providing one of more wit- nesses sign? ANSWER—NOoO, no more formality is nee- essary in the signing of a chattel mortgage than in the execution of a promisory note. 2. In. the ease of a morgage which runs six months, but which is not satisfied at the end of seven months, but is on record, can a third party hold the property.? ANSWER—A chattel mortgage is good for one year from the date of filing, and if prop- erly filed the fact that it overdue does not release the property from the lein. ¢____- In Active Operation. At a meeting of the stockholders of the newly-organized Priestley Express Wagon and Sleigh Co., the following gentlemen. were elected directors: Jas. A. Hunt, For- rest M. Priestley, Geo.

Shakespearan Soliloquy—Some of Soli- man’s Sayings. Cant Hook Corners, April 25, 1885. Mister Editer of Traidesman. Dear Srr—As nothing particular has happened this week at the Corners, I will send you some short sketches that I have written and a bundle of lettets from various correspondents. Publish the parts of them that strike you as O. Kr I will first give you a play—a short play in one act, which is appropriate to the times. THE MERCHANT. Merchant (in soliloquy)— To bust, or not to bust, that is the ques- tion— Whether ’tis better in the end, to pay up The notes and due-bills, drafts and what- not, Or become a bankrupt now, and end it, And go out west and hunt and travel And poke about and find a place Where trade is good and every cent Not squeezed until the Godess howls. Methinks it is a consumation Devoutly to be wished. To make or break, Perchance to strike a worse, Aye there’s the rub; For, with your credit gone and honor too, What signifies the place you are? Chicago, great by any other name, Would smell as sweet, methinks, But man, with a bad name, Its gone, plum up the spout. But to go west the Yankee’s bourn From which no merchant ere returns, Is too much risk. It makes us think, Tis better to bear the ills we have Than fly to others we know not of— Perchance from greasy frying pan We jump, and land into the fire. Thus fortune bad makes cowards of us all, And dhe native vim and resolution Is knocked clean out of us, by this— The darts and arrows of outrageous fortune.” Enter Grand Rapids Drummer— “How, now O’Phellia! Drummer brave, What bringist thou to my domain?” Drummer— : “Greetings my Lord. I have a bill A little bill, or a remembrance, Which I was ordered to present— "Tis for a thousand Sample Scotts. At sixty-five, on ninety days, Or two per cent. for cash in ten. I pray you now my Lord accept it.” Merchant— Not I; I never gave an order For any such cigars, that I remember. Drummer— My Lord you know right well you did— To Cody, Ball & Co., the grocery men.” Merchant— “Oh, thunder! Yes Ido remember now. Methought ’twas but two weeksago, And here the time is up and more. Ah! happy thought—O’Phellia Comest thou back into mine office, A note for sixty days I'll givest thee, To ballance the accorfnt to date.” Drummer— “Correct, my Lord, if that is all That you can do to help us now.” Merchant— “It is, the very best. How time doth fly? Methinks the writing fluid made by Arnold, Searee can turn to hue of black, When, lo! the sixty days are past, And I am asked to pony up,” Drummer— ‘Tis true my Lord, and pitty ’tis, *tis true. But let me show you here and now, The finest thing you ere have seen Since thou wert born, my boy. Just look at that and try it once, A long Havanah filler, made By hand, with wrapper from Wisconsin.” Merchant— “Oh, go ye hence! I want it not. Beshrew me, but I do believe That for each customer that wants To buy a smoke—just one cigar— Some drummer tries his best, To sell me half a thousand. (Exeunt.) SOLIMAN SNOOKSES SAYINGS. He that layeth abed in the early morn and continueth even unto breakfast time, is a sluggard, He deliteth to slug, even while the gentle housewifegrindeth the coffee and broileth the beef steak. 9, But the merchant that ariseth in the early morn and ies himself unto his store, getith a chanee to sell a chunk of plug to- backer to the early wayfarer that goeth forth to labor. 2. Yea, verily, he puttith cash in bis till, even a nickel. 4. Hearken not unto the dulsit voige of beauty, when she asketh thee to trust—un- less she hath husband who is solvent, or a pa who hath many sheckels of silver; even 85 cent sheckels, with the motto *‘In God we Trust” for the other fifteen cents. Yea, verily. 5. If ye heed not this adviee, in the day when thou wotest not, the gentle maiden wilt be indebted to thee in a bill, reaching from the iron safe, ev’en unto the front of the store and threw the door thereof. 6. Look not with eyes of favor upon the red-nosed man, who asketh ye to trust him to a pint of bug juice, even the bug juice called Bourbon. 4%. For, lo! I say unto you: Many moons and seasons and times shalt pass and the man cometh not to reward thee with thy just dues. 8. Listen not, oh, merchant of Mud Lake, Greenville, or Kalamazoo, to the se- ductive strains of the cheeky cigar drummer from New York, whom you know not. In the day when thou thinkest not, thou wilt be stuck with a lot, even unto fifteen score and ten, old teniment house cigars, that the evil one, yea, the old serpent called the D——1, wouldst not smoke in Hades. And thou wilt say in thy heart, ‘‘Beshrew me, but I wilt return these goods even unto the City of the East called York.” But thou reconeth without thy hosts, for in an evil day, lo! a draft cometh to the city bank, in thy name, drawn by the wicked Jubasites, or Blatherskites, or the Mugbuggers, or the Sulzbuggers, that great city that is figura- tively called ‘“Soddom and Gomarror.” And thy goods and chattels and thy teniments wilt be taken in payment thereof, excepting only the beforesaid cigars which stinketh like a serpent and biteth like anadder.
