Miss Betty Perkins took a long but rather unsatisfactory look out between the immovable slats of her kitchen blinds. ‘Dear me!” she exclaimed, after a vain attempt to extend her field of vision, ‘‘! should think anybody with a mite of sense would know better than to make blinds this way. You might as well try to see through the side of the house!’?— which was a exaggeration, but some al- lowance must be made for Miss Betty’s mental state. She had by nature an enquiring mind, and took, at all times, a kind and friendly interest in her neighbors’ doings; but on this particvlar morning her opposite neighbor, Mrs. Blake, had her parlor win- dows open at a very early hour, and had been plainly visible shaking rugs in the back yard before breakfast! When Miss Betty shook the crumbs from her table- cloth she had seen a black silk duster waving vigorously from one of the same parlor windows, and now, in the middle of a warm July morning, smoke was com- ing from Mrs. Blake’s kitchen chimney. Truly, Miss Betty might say with the Mikado, ‘‘Here’s a state of things!’ ‘*You needn’t tell me,” said Miss Betty, apostrophizing her sitting-room lamp as she examined its wick, ‘‘that Melissy Blake’s dishes ain’t washed at this time of day and that’s what the fire’s for. No, it’s comp’ny, that’s what it is; 1 wonder who they be. I was in there yesterday afternoon and she never breathed a word about it; but then Melissy allers was close-mouthed. If ’tisn’t own folks, and I believe her’s all live up Worcester way, it’s pretty funny I wasn’t asked, near neighbor as I be. Well, folks is queer.” Her first plan was to go over to Mrs. Blake’s and find out what she could about the expected guests. She could at least see what preparations were in progress for their entertainment, which would be something. ‘I’m ’most out of yeast and could borrow a cupful,’’ she thought, searching her mind for an er- rand. But on reflection this course hardly seemed advisable, for Mrs. Blake was noted for her skill in keeping her affairs to herself. ‘‘Likely’s not I shouldn’t know a bit more when I come home than I do now,” was Miss Perkins’ second thought. ‘‘No, I won’t go. Pl have an early dinner and see who comes.” Accordingly, at half past eleven, she brought out her tiny teapot and sliced her potatoes for frying, and two hours later, dressed in her second-best black dress, and with her knitting ready, she seated herself at her sitting-room win- dow. The sun had traveled away from that side of the house now, so Miss Betty was screened from the public gaze by one half blind, while the other was com- fortably fastened back out of the way. Capt. Blake on his return from one of his long foreign voyages had found time to plant arow of young maples across the front of his place, and they were now vigorous young trees; but Miss Betty’s window was so far in the angle that she could see the front walk and door and one of the parlor windows. Dalton hours were early, and before 3 o’elock the first guest came in sight. ‘‘Miss Cap’n Swain,’’? announced Miss Betty, half aloud. ‘Straight asa ram- rod, as usual. | believe she’s grown an inch or two taller since Cap’n Swain left off whaling and begun to go foreign voy- ages; but, law! what have we poor, per- ishing creatures to be proud of? I won- der if that’s a new dress, now.” She un- consciously leaned so far forward in the attempt to settle the important point that Mrs. Swain saw her and bowed, which caused Miss Perkins to retire in great confusion; but she came to the front again in time to scrutinize the next arrivals. ‘“‘Dr. Kennedy’s wife,’ said she, and smiling, of course. I never saw her sober, even at a funeral. For my part, I think it makes folks look simple to be always a-laughing. Who’s that with her? I never saw her before. Now, I shouldn’t wonder if it was Mis’ Ken- nedy’s sister, the missionary woman. I heard she was coming. How sing’ler *tis that women want to go gadding about in that way.’’ There was such a long interval before any other guest appeared that Miss Betty had just made up her mind thatthe party numbered three, when Mrs. Randall, the minister’s wife, hurried in at the oppo- site gate. Miss Betty’s hard face soft- ened a little at the sight of her, and for once she had no sharp or unkind word to say. Little Mrs. Randall was hardly ever quite in time; she was apt to come in flushed and breathless, but so sorry for her tardiness, and so sweet and lov- able withal, that every one made ex- cuses for her. Mrs. Blake’s parlor was full of pleas- ant talk that bright summer afternoon. ‘I saw Miss Perkins at her window, as I came in,’ said Mrs. Swain. “I don’t doubt it,” answered her host- ess. ‘‘Poor soul! It seems hard not to ask her, too; but I thought you might not care to tell how much your dresses cost, how much Dr. Kennedy’s fees amounted to last month, and what the minister is going to preach to us about next Sun- day.” The ladies laughed, and the conversa- tion turned on Miss Plummer’s work and adventures. She had been in Mexico and in the Northwest, and had so much to tell that when the great hall clock struck 5 Mrs. Blake was quite surprised, and she went out in a hurry to begin her preparations forsupper. The house was an old-fashioned one, with the side door opening directly into the kitchen, and the only means of access to the cellar by a trap-door in the kitchen floor, and the steepest possible stairs. Mrs. Blake started a crackling wood fire, opened the outer door for coolness, and swung back the door of the trap, which was of such generous proportions that the corner of the tea-table was on the verge, and the doorway in close prox- imity; but Mrs. Blake was used to her NO. 526 made her biseuits and ran up and down the break-neck stairs, without even a sigh for modern conven- iences. house, and she She was justly proud of her table when it was ready. The eloth had been brought by her busband from what the neighbors called ‘‘foreign parts,” and the china had been her mother’s. The egg- shell cups and delicate plates were very pretty, and how nice the thin slices of ham looked, and the great dish of red and white currants! The fruit cake was as dark and rich and indigestible as need be, and the pound-cake!—nobody but Mrs. Blake knew the secret of that. She went back into the parlor for five min- utes while the biscuits got their last touch of brown and the tea one more simmer, leaving the trap-door open to remind her that the cream and the but- ter were yet in the cool depths of the cellar. Meanwhile it had been a long afternoon to Miss Betty. She could catch the sound of voices from across the way occasion- ally, and the desire to know what they were so merry over grew stronger every minute, till at last a brilliant idea came into her head. There was that yeast that she,—yes, really needed; she would go now and borrow it. She would go in at the side-door, and if Mrs. Blake had company, how should she know it when she was not invited? So she put on her bonnet snd mitts, took her green silk parasol, for the sun was still high, and carrying a cup for the yeast, crossed the street valiantly. Mrs. Randall had left the gate open, so she entered without any click of announce- ment, and, as it happened, all the ladies were looking at some pictures and did not see Miss Betty at all. She glanced in at the open side-door, but the kitchen was dark, and looking in from the outside she could see nothing. She stepped on the door-sill and strug- gled with her parasol, which declined to shut. Setting her cup down she pushed harder, but still it did not yield. To bring her muscles into better play she stepped back a pace or two,—and went down the open trap! In falling she clutched wildly at the nearest object, which happened to be the corner of the tablecloth. There was not much staying power about the damask, and it went down with her,—with all its load. Mrs. Blake was just expressing polite regrets about the absent husbands, when a sudden and awful crash drowned her voice and drew them all to the kitchen. What a sight was there, my countrymen! The table, which had been such a thing of beauty a few minutes before, now stood bare and desolate; the cloth draped the cellar stairs, currants had rolled to the farthest corners, and bits of cake were still hopping from stair to stair, and in the center of the cellar floor was Miss Betty Perkins, with her parasol still spread her head, over standing erect in atub of soft soap, unhurt, but considerably crestfallen, and a prey to 2 TRADESMAN ‘ such varied emotions that her face was | void of expression as a blank wall. interest to his partner and established | himself on the opposite side of the street, The amazed spectators looked at this | | where he is at present located. scene and at each other, and then broke | into a laugh in which even Mrs. Blake | | pulley business in Mr. Hester is the pioneer in the wood Western Michigan, joined, although her supper and _ her|and is probably the heaviest dealer in cherished china lay in a common ruin. | that class of goods. and the air was full of the aroma of burn- | the money market has affected his busi- ing biscuits and boiling tea. looked up and smiled feebly. ‘“‘“How—how do you do?” stam- mered. ‘I came to borrow a cupful of comp’ny. Id no idee you had any yeast, or I'd have coma eo-merne.” At this added touch of absurdity the laughter was that Miss Betty looked up at last, in some indigna- tion. But whom did she see among the laughers! The minister himself, who, having knocked unheard, had admitted himself and joined the group in the kitchen, and was now laughing with the rest. This was the proverbial last straw, and Miss Perkins sank under it. One wild struggle to free herself from the clinging consequent equilibrium, and she and was completely extinguished by her green umbrella.

Owen, in an article in last week’s TRADESMAN, headed, ‘Have Business Men Any Use for the Sabbath?” seems to be impressed with the idea that the large number of deaths among busi- ness men is due to the fact that they do not observe the Sabbath as strictly as they ought, and, on that ground, pleads for a general suspension of work on Sun- day by business men. Man certainly does need regular inter- vals of rest, and, possibly, of recreation. The hours of night supply the first, while it is utterly impossible for one day in seven, evenif it could be devoted to “absolute rest,” to supply the latter. Not many business men can _ utterly withdraw their minds from the cares of business on Sunday; indeed, it is unnee- essary for any purpose for which the Sab- bath was instituted. But that is beside the question. Absolute rest, with the mind in anormal condition, is impossible. The mind of the average business man is kept at a high tension all the week, and to suddenly drop all thought of businesss, putting it completely out of mind, would be injurious rather than beneficial, un- less something is given the mind to doin harmony with its usual habits. If it is given anything to do, the mind cer- tainly cannot be in a state of rest, abso- lute or partial. The mind does not abso- lutely rest, even in sleep, the time, if ever, when mental energy is to be recu- perated. The trouble with men of sed- entary pursuits is that they pay little or no attention to even the commonest rules of diet. As arule, they eat ‘‘when- ever they can snatch the time’? from other duties. The food they eat is not very conducive to either mental or phys- ical digestion, and is usually eaten in the shortest possible time. “The man who can never find time to look up at the twinkling stars, or sit down in some quite nook and listen to the voice of nature in her multiplicity of symphonies, ripples, murmurs, and plaintive cadences” —all of which is very fine reading, but—where is the man? How many business men are there who do not take a more or less extended va- cation at least once ayear? Whether they look up at the twinkling stars or listen to the voice of nature, does not seem to have much bearing on the ease. If it is true that more business men “‘die with their boots on’’ now than for- merly, it can hardly be charged to their non-observance of the Sabbath. It may be accounted for by the fact that from the hour when the business man of to- day takes his place at his desk in the morning until he leaves it in the evening every energy of mind and body works at high pressure. There is no other way to succeed in these days. Competition is so keen and there is no much of it that the man who does not give himself heart and soul to his business will soon find himself on aback street or in the poor house. The effects of the constant nervous strain under which he labors for six days in the week could hardly be counteracted by one day’s rest, and if heart disease or apoplexy be the result— itis the price he must pay for his suc- cess as a businessman. But this is taking it for granted that there are more sudden deaths among business men to-day than there were years ago, which assertion lacks confirmation. There are more sud- den deaths, certainly, but there are more THE MICHIGAN business men, and physicians say there are more sudden deaths among all classes. Why? Thisis the age of steam and elece- | tricity; of fast trains and electric cars; of labor saving machinery in every depart- mentof industry. So much more can be accomplished to-day than was the case | when our fathers did business that a man | does not need to live so many years. | | There are just as many, probably more, octogenarians:in the world to-day as there ever were, and they are just as | jolly and ruddy cheeked, and frolie just as hilariously with their grandchildren | asin ‘‘the days of the fathers.’’ Mr. | Owen must be color blind or he would surely have noted the large number of white heads which adorn the ranks of business men. They are found in every profession and in every ealling, and their nameis legion. One fact should not be lost sight of, however. The young man is coming to the front. Many of the largest and most important business concerns of the country are managed by young men, and managed just as efficiently and just as successfully asin the days when ‘‘the head of the house” was adorned with ‘‘the crown of silver.” Maturity comes earlier and mental development is much more rapid now than was the case some years ago, so that, though the end may come earlier, life in reality is just as long. But it has not been demonstrated, beyond question, that the average length of life is shorter than in the past. The scriptural ‘‘three score years and ten’’ prevails to just as great an extent as it ever did. The only reason for the observance of Sunday as aday of rest that has any weight whatever is a moral one. Little importance can be attached to the utter ances of science on such a question, as there are hardly two scientists who agree on any subjeet. The attempt to show that the life of the business man is shortened by his non-observance of Sun- day as a day of rest is a failure for two reasons: It has not been shown that he does not observe the Sabbath as much as he ever did and it has not been shown that the average length of life of busi- ness men is any shorter thanit ever was.

THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. Coleman—The Michigan Head Lining & Hoop Co.’s mill has been shut down for some time owing to the hard times.

St. Helen—The big sawmill of Henry Stevens & Co. shut down last week, the stock tributary to it being exhausted. It is said the mill will go out of commis- sion and be either sold or removed. The old miil was sold to Salling, Hanson & Co. last spring and removed to Grayling, and it is about ready to begin sawing. Stevens & Co. have operated their miils at St. Helen about fifteen years. have Saginaw—The manufacturing of 1893 is drawing to aclose and is not ending as brilliantly as it opened. The mills of Bliss & VanAuken, Green, Ring & Co., A. W. Wright Lumber Co. and those of Col. Bliss will doubtless run late, but the others now running will soon shut down. Should present condi- tions prevail, a lower scale of wages will go into effect next spring in the mills, as is the case already in wages for men for the woods. ‘The indications all point to a hard winter for those industrious toil- ers, and many of them who have had plenty of work during the winter months for the last quarter of acentury will find ita hard shift to find enough to do the coming winter to keep the wolf from the door.

There is no business man who has not at onetime or another had reason to be disgusted with the poor service of the telegraph companies. Sometimes it is one thing and sometimes another. Very frequently it is tardiness of delivery, and yet occasionally, as revealed by the following story, it is thereverse. in any event the cheap machinery with which a big corporation feels bound to attempt to serve the public, and with the cast iron rules necessary for regulating such employes as they gather, causes some ludicrous blunders. The story is as follows: A man went with a telegram to the of- fice. It was midnight. Handing the paper to the fellow in the cage, he said: “IT want that delivered at 8 o’clock to- morrow morning.” The fellow in the cage said, ‘We can deliver it within an hour.” “J don’t want my friend aroused at 1 o'clock in the morning. Send it away from here at 7, so that he will get it a5 5.7" The fellow in the cage was puzzled, ‘‘We don’t do business that way,” he declared. ‘I wouldn’t know how to fix it so as not to be delivered at once.”’ After a great deal of cogitation, a bright idea struck him. ‘‘If you pay the tolls on the words, ‘Don’t deliver till 8 o’clock,’’? he said, ‘‘that will do it all richt.”’ And toll. much. Within an hour a messenger boy ar- rived with the dispatch at the house of the sender’s friend. He rang the bell for ten minutes. Then there came a po- liceman who asked what the matter was. The messenger boy said he guessed some one’s wife must be dead, as he had an important message that had got to be de- livered at once. mered at the side of the house with his night stick and awoke every one in it— about thirty all told.

Customers trading in the stores when the ‘closing hour comes must necessarily be waited upon, but it is a nuisance, and an injustice upon your brother merchant, to keep your place of business open from fifteen to twenty minutes after the bell jrings. Try and be more punctual. ——>-><-_-———_———— A Little Too Preyious. MANISTEE, Oct. 14—An item which appeared in one of the Grand Rapids daily newspapers recently regarding the affairs of the R. G. Peters Salt & Lumber Co. is hardly correct. It goes.on to state that the concern is all out of debt and that Peters is handling it himself now. Had the season been a good one this much wished for consummation would doubtless have been reached before this time. Asit is, the hard times and low prices have delayed the matter some- what, but only for a short time, and be- fore very long the institution will be en- tirely free from debt.” 9 < An amusing incident occurred at the counter of a well-known bakery. A man whose sons bear quite a resemblance to their father, sent one of the aforesaid sons to the bakery to buy two loaves of bread. While the son was waiting for the bread, the father stepped in and told the son to go on anothererrand, and that he would take the bread. When the girl at the counter turned again to de- liver the bread, behold there was a gray- bearded man holding out the self-same bread-check and reaching for those two loaves. The girl said: ‘‘A boy bought this bread.” ‘I know it,” replied the gentleman, seriously, ‘1 was a boy when | bought it, but | had to wait so long for the bread that 1 grew into a grey-haired man.’’ That girl’s face was a picture.— The Helper.

Dettenthaler, fish, game, ter and poultry jobber at 117 and 119 Monroe — was born in Munich, Ba- varia, in 1854. His father, George Detten- thaler, was in the livery business in tbat city for many years. Frank’s recollec- tion of father’s business is very vague, but he says the principal differ- ence between the livery rope and this country is that people hir- ing horses do not do their own driving, the driver being considered a part of the outfit. Saddle horses mand there than oys- his pusiness in Eu- in de- rank attended are here. F more school in his native city until about the age of 14, when he went to work in his father’s barns, continuing there until his emigration to this country. On_ his ar- rival in the United States he proceeded to Baltimore, Md., where he had friends residing. From Baltimore he went to Chicago, and thence to Racine, Wis., returning in a short time to Chicago, when he engaged as cook inarestaurant. This situation he held for about five years. His knowledge of the Anglo- Saxon tongue and of American customs and business methods was very limited, hampering him to such an extent that he determined to study in order to fit him- self to compete with those who were ‘‘to the manor born,” and who had had the a liberal educa- Ameriean public schools and a life-long intimacy with America customs and which itself an education of the most liberal and effec- tive kind. He night subsequently taking a course in a busi- ness college, while working as cook. From Chicago Mr. Dettenthaler went to Grand Haven and engaged as steward of the Cutler House. From there he went to Burlington, lowa, and started a res- taurant on his own account, which only lived about a year. He turned to Chicago, this time in the manufacture of what are known as Moravian pretzels. It is not known whether the pretzels were to the taste of his customers or not; the not to Frank’s taste, however, and in less than a year ke quitit. The season of 1878 him again in the Cutler House at Grand Haven as steward. At the close of the season he came to Grand Rapids and took charge of the cooking in Sweet’s Hotel, where he remained five years. In 1883 he purchased the fish and oyster business of H. M. Bliven, at 117 immense advantage of tion in institutions, is of attended school, once more re- to engage business was saw |nificent inerease Monroe street. It is in connection with this business that Mr. Dettenthaler has proved himself to be aman of affairs, capable, aggresive, energetic. He has thoroughly mastered every detail of a business which requires a man to be con- stantly in communication with every part of the country. Hiscorrespondents com- prise men in almost every walk of life, from the keen, shrewd man of business in the metropolis, to the unlettered back- woodsman and fisherman, the fact that he is every day receiving communi- eations from in the who are seeking to do business with him, and “men woods’’ is an evidence of the widely known char- acter of his business and shows the con- fidence reposed in him by men who them- selves are not capable of doing business except in the crudest manner. The mag- of the business in the last ten years also proves his ability as a business man. The first year’s business | amounted to $18,000; last year’s business jamounted to about $70,000, | | | the State. which next year he expects to reach $100,000. A constantly increasing trade has made the old location altogether too small, and so Mr. Dettenthaler secured the lease of the premises next door. The partition be- tween the two stores was torn away and extensive alterations made in other direc- tions, so that now he has one of the most ecommodious stores in the city, if not in Cash and parcel carriers run to every part of the store;everything has been arranged with a view to the econ- |omy of both time and labor, and is most jadmirably adapted to the purpose in- tended. Mr. Dettenthaler is a member of the Masonic order, the K-P., the Patriarchal Arch, Royal Arcanum and the K. O. T. M. He is also a member of the Fountain Street Baptist Church and a liberal tributor to its various benevolences. He was married in 1876 to Miss Louise Scholl. Mrs. Dettenthaler died in 1889, leaving him with one child, who is now a charming young lady of 16 years. She is attending Kalamazoo College, where she is winning laurals as a student. If there is one virtue, more than an- which marks Mr. Dettenthaler’s it is his pertinacity. Whatever he undertakes is done in a spirit which precludes defeat. Although he met many discouraging circumstances at the inception of his career as a merchant, he superior to the occasion and his eareer since that time been full of the honors and emoluments which ac- erue to the suecessful man of business. con- other, career, rose has i — ip a se ai a a i a an a 4 - ae MICHIGAN TRADESMAN.| 11 aes ‘aes Current.

A firm in an enterprising town in New York lately advertised fora clerk to take charge of its grocery department, and among the qualifications necessary was this: ‘One who has taste for reading the trade journals with a view to being well informed.”’ It would seem as if every merchant and every clerk would be only to glad to avail himself of every help in the way of education, and particularly so in the direct line of his business or employ- ment. One source of information journal, wherein are is the trade gathered items re- garding the goods handled in the special | branch of trade to which the journal is | | later. being a well-informed clerk. Trade journals are one medium through which he can inform himself, and they ought to induce him to try further fields of reading. One of the best salesmen that I ever} met was one who always carried an edu- | cational book in his gripsack; when he} had to wait for a delayed train or had an} he had his} hour to spare at the hotel, book in his hand. I found him a pleasant companion and so did his customers. served the that came to him a well-informed man; in- success He was | terested in everything worth a man’s | thought, with no time to waste over bil- devoted, discussions upon trade matters, | suggestions as to trade points, from the experience of others, and gos- sip. as to the world of business. drawn | { | repeating it } equal to many men on the stage. liards or bar-rooms or worse things. One of the high salaried men that called on me from New York had the faculty of picking up the latest story and to perfection. He was But if t matters not how thoroughly one is! I asked for specific information about an posted as to his own trade and locality, | article in his there is never an issue of his trade nal that will not contain that which he ean read with interest as well as profit. If this is true of the merchant how much more generally it will apply to clerks! It is the one encouraging feature to} the ambitious young poor man | { | of the} ' present that his competitors in the ranks | are so superficial, so anxious to shine to- day, and so antagonistic to hard work. A large number, a large proportion, are ‘‘yraduates” of a school system that teaches a smattering of everything, from drawing to Greek, and teaches nothing thoroughly. The ‘‘graduate’’ has a fine sense of his own ability and importance and rests upon this. His place in ‘‘soci- ety’’ is of much greater importance to him than his position in the store, and so much of his time is taken up with his social duties he has no hours to spare for reading either trade journals or any- thing else. There is usually, in the same store, a young man who is too insignificant to have a place in ‘‘society.’’ His mind is too warped to enjoy the small gossip that occupies the mouths of his more ex- pansive companions, and his business oc- ecupies his thoughts during all his wak- ing hours. Heis the one clerk who sees the weekly trade journal; not infre- quently he digests its contents better than does his employer: he thinks over the things he reads and assimilates them —makes them his own, and in due course of time is referred to by all around him, for this or that bit of information. As a salesman he is able to explain in an intelligent manner why things are thus and so. Buyers see that he knows his business and they like to trade with him. When goods are called for that are not in stock, or may never have been kept in stock, he knows about them, can show where they are weak or strong, and can advise with his employer as to whether it would be wise to add them to the stock or not. His greater knowledge of everything about the goods helps him to remember | paying for refreshments, have them, but beyond this he had noth- prices better, and is hourly consulted by | his associates about points in which they are uncertain. Whatever changes are made in the force, until the day comes when he has a store of his own, or is given an interest in the firm. It is not the brilliant fellow that suc- ceeds. When he does it is the exception. ; It is the plodding man, careful, intelligent. When I was a salesman on the and, upon entering the store, saw the trade journal unopened, circulars and price lists unread. 1 always knew I might ask good prices with safety. On contrary, where 1 saw the trade paper open at the desk I felt my way carefully to discover what prices I might get. To-day the trade journal more distinctive field than it had twenty years ago; it is less a mere price list and more an intelligent friend. No mer- chant can afford to discard its help no clerk should miss the opportunity of going to the school that it conducts for his benefit. But this article is not writ- ten to increase the circulation of trade} journals; it is toemphasize the benefit of ' who is thorough, he is sure of his place} line he could _ not jour- | give it; he had the samples and there was the price; he could jtell a good story and was free in if you would ing. I was not surprised when his employer told me that he would be allowed to re- sign atthe end of the year. Said he: ‘“‘He sells less each trip. Everybody likes him and speaks well of him, but each time they see him they buy less of him.” I thought I understood the reason. Stories are good in their way; cigars and wine influence some, but, after all, men think, ‘‘business is busines,” and they want to buy of aman who understands his goods from A to Z. It is for this reason that merchants are looking around either for well-in- formed clerks, or for those of such frame of mind that they will inform them- selves as they grow in the business. If the desire is there the rest will follow. Twenty-five years ago a young man worked in a stove store next door to me. He worked hard, too, for he had to run stoves out and in, black stoves, set them up, and do anything and everything needed to be done. Shops in those days kept open till 8 o’clock every evening, and were opened very early in the morning. But this young man found time to study up on everything connected with stoves and tin. By and by, with a very few hundred dollars and some credit, he opened a shop to make tin cans, and to- day he is at the head of the largest fac- tory of this kind in all the world. He read and studied ‘‘with a view to being well informed,” just as the New York advertisement wants a young man to do, and his information became valu- able capital. The young man of to-day should take courage and press on in the same direc- tion. Well-informed men are needed, always will be needed, and will always get to the top. oO Notice of the Lansing Meeting.

Progression in Milling Processes. Written for THE TRADESMAN. When I was a boy on the farm one of the most important duties was ‘‘goin’ to mill.’? This duty devolved upon pater familias whenever the bottom of the “flour chist” became visible, and, like all domestic duties—suech as going for the doctor—had to be attended to at once, re- gardless of circumstances. The weather, condition of the roads, or press of other matters, cut no figure—when the com- mand was given it had to be obeyed. About two and one-half bushels of wheat, with the usual accompaniment of cockle, drips and rodent deposits, was the regu- Iation “prist.” To forget the “bran bag” was to necessitate a violation of or- ders to keep the ‘‘middlin’s” separate. The ‘‘grist mill’? might be only a mile distant, or it might be ten miles away; if there was no grist ahead, it was con- sidered a stroke of good luck—that is, if the water was not too low, the water wheel out of repair, the stones passing through a ‘‘pecking” operation, or miller on a ‘‘spree.” Whenever three grists were ahead, it meant an in- crease of the lie-swopping and plug-to- bacco-chewing crowd in the store over on the corner. The reason the grists were not larger, thereby reducing the time lost in going to mill, was the fear on the part of the maternal head of the house that the flour might become stale before it could be used up. The wheat was taken from the same bin each time, with about the same mixture of foreign matter—ex- cept the portion contributed by the afore- said rodent, which naturally increased as the bin became lower and another harvest approached—yet no two grists gave the same degree of satisfaction. When the bread ‘“‘raised’’ all right and was light and spongy, the extra quality of the wood used in baking was given eredit for it; but when the mass was un- risable and depressed—like the business of the country at the present time—and the bread was sour as swill and black as the ace of spades, the miller was cursed for it. This made the millers of forty years ago reckless, and the only way they could get even was to steal half the grist and get on a ‘‘spree” occasionally. it was in those days that the old philos- opher lived who said ‘‘that bread was the staif of life, but whisky was the staffer.” In those times the two or whisky was required to counteract the injurious effects of the} vile impurities which, unavoidably, were incorporated in the ‘‘staff of life.” My father was a millerof the olden time, and a good one, too. He could dress a stone as neatly and as quickly as any miller of his time, and he could make as good flour, after he bought “smut” ma- chine, as that made in any country mill at that time. One day, while at dinner, a grist arrived at the mill. His partner, who had joined him a short time previ- ously, and who knew nothing whatever of milling, undertook the job. He let the water on and dumped the wheat in the hopper. When the last of it disap- peared from sight, he ‘traised the lever’ and proceeded to capture the grist. But it wasn’t in the usual place, much to his surprise, and, after searching in vain, he started off for father, who was a mile away, to come and find that grist. The disgusted farmer was left in charge of the mill. The grist was found in a dirty bin in a dark corner in the basement of the mill where it had been deposited by some dis-arrangement of the old-fash- ioned conducting spouts or carriers. his | actual bread-producing properties. What a wonderful change has come about in the milling processes since that time! Indeed, milling, as a science, was unknown forty years ago. Up to that time the principle involved in the pro- grinding remained the same from the time that Sarah used her mill when cess of grain told by her lord to do the thing handsomely and in a hurry for the strangers—that is, by the use of two stones, the lower one stationary and the upper one in motion. I say the principle remained the same—the mode of applica- tion marked the only changes made dur- ing thousands of years. At first the up- per stone was kept in motion by seizing it with both hands as Sarah did, and pre- cisely as the natives of South Africa did The next step in advance in the application of the old principle, was the quern, or handmill, still in use in the Shetland Isles and other places. The old quern searcely differs the more modern mill stones, except in the stones being small enough to allow of the upper one being turned by hand, instead of by The rock our fath- was a form of silica not so brittle. This rock is found in abundance only in the mineral basin of Paris and adjoining districts, and belongs to Tertiary formation. The highest degree of im- provement reached by the old principle of milling the patent process of dressing the stones by means of a pecul- iar kind of diamond; the application of a current of cold air for the purpose of keeping down the temperature of the the introduction of a patent disintegrator which ground wheat two vertical iron made to revolve in opposite directions so as to grind the wheat by percussion. The ‘‘smutter” and crude fanning-mill then in use prepared the wheat for the hopper, but the result, whatever the con- dition or quality of the wheat, when Dr. Livingston visited them. from a pair of wind, water or steam power. from which the mill stones of ers’ time were made. like flint in hardness, but the was millstones, and by means of dises was sim- ply flour of one grade, containing impur- ities the extent and nature of which no one ever dreamed of at that time. To-day, milling has become a science. Wheat is not now thrown into a hopper, “dirt all”? into a cider mill, tween a couple of stones, run through a flour. > ? an bolt and called Scientific investi- gation has discovered the fact that the proper way to convert wheat into flouris by a process of gradual reduction. Mod- ern mechanical ingenuity is equal to the most adqanced thought, and scientific de- are made than ma- chines are brought into existance to give them practical exemplification.

Most people now understand that there isa vast between flour, not only in purity and color, difference but in It is not only more conducive to good health, | but it is actually more economical on the part of the consumer, to buy the higher like apples are thrown | and then passed be- | The complicated | machinery in use in modern milling vro- | eesses requires the most skillful manipu- | grades of | grades of flour. For instance, a grade of flour costing $4 or $5 a barrel is cheaper, from an economic point of view, as a rule, than a grade costing from $1 to $2 less.

This isa demonstrated, and over again, and one which should be thoroughly understood by a larger fact which has been over the masses of the people, especially at the present time when the cost of living is a and when the price of wheat is so unusually low. question of vital importance There is a wonderful discrepancy be- tween wheat at 59 bushel and bread at 8 cents per loaf!

CAMPBELL, City T*cket Agent. 23 Monrce Street Paricr Buffet No. 15 Wagner ———— News from the Metropolis---Index of the Markets. Special Correspondence. New York, Oct. 14—Contrary to the usual custom very little money is being taken from this city by the South and West to move the cotton and wheat crops, and, on the other hand, vast quantities are coming here from those sections. It is needless to say that the recent per- formance of the Senate has not increased the respect for that honorable body among business men here and one can hear something that sounds very much like curses not loud but deep on every hand. ‘‘We are marching straight to national bankruptcy’’ said one, and the sentiment seems to prevail pretty gener- ally. Trade has received a setback ap- parently, and many are in the *‘dumps.”’ Travel to Chicago is simply immense, and surely no one would think a national stringency was prevailing. Sleeping car tickets are sold on nearly all lines for two weeks ahead and everybody is bound to see Chicago or die. The deciding race between the yachts was as full of interest ports from Congress. A boat was chart- ered by a lot of Produce E: nge mem- bers, at $3 each, and the interesting part of this was that though the members waited, the did not come and they are now wondering whether it was the famous Fiying Dutchman they paid for. Your mous Aladdin oven, invented by Edward Atkinson, and has sampled the food cooked therein by the heat of an ordin- ary lamp. There was a piece of roast beef weighing twelve or fifteen pounds, fish, sausages, puddings, bread, ete. Every article, including the huge piece of meat was done to aturn, and nothing could excel the toothsomeness of each. The sausages and bread were perfect; in fact, they must have been revelations to most of those present, and it seems won- derful to think that all this could be done with about a quart of oil, costing three cents. The old range has got to go. When we stop to consider the enor- mous waste of heat there must be in the burning of coal, we wonder it has not been more carefully studied before. The latest style of ovenis a home-made affair, and can be made by anybody. A person of ordinary intelligence can get up an excellent meal, whether he (or she) has had any previous experience or not. This has been proven over and over, hard as it seems to believe it. The country around New York for many miles is being riddled by trolley car tracks, and New Jersey, in particu- lar, is having them placed in every direc- tion. This is bound to exert quite an influ- ence on the trade of many country mer- chants, and, as freight cars will follow in time, it is certain that many will come to the city to trade who have hitherto patronized ‘‘home talent’? exclusively. At the same time it will take out of the city many of the inhabitants of the over- crowded parts, and so the exchange may be about even, if notin favor of the coun try dealer. Michigan as were the re- boat correspondent has seen the fa- celery begins to be seen in the big markets, and, although not strictly prime as yet, it is a portent of what we may expect in the near future. The best celery from the Wolverine State is worth about 60 cents per dozen roots. Cranberries are becoming plentiful, and are $4.75@ crop promises to be of ample dimensions this season. Potatoes are 2.50 per outside price. worth 6 per bbl. The in good supply at $1.75@ bbl., and this seems to be the Many that are coming will not grade as first-class. The apple crop will be short, but just now this town is full of ’°em. They are quutable at $2.75 for Kings; $2.25 for Greenings, and $2@2.25 for Bald- wins. Dried fruits are very dull of sale, with the exception of appies, which are held at 10@10%¢ cents for fancy; peaches, 18¢; 8@10c; raspberries, I firm, and at about 15(a cherries, 17@ 181¢: California apricots, present prices are paying a good profit to growers. Sutter remains at 30c for best Western and New York State, but the market is | tem, | Ottawa THE MICHIGAN very dull, and, even with small receipts, presents no signs of immediate revival. Other grades range 24@28c. Cheese is quite firm and prices at home are so high that exporters are not buying to any extent. For fancy fully cream State 11%s¢ is obtained, and for colored, 10‘¢e. These prices are even below those said to be obtained at the factories. Michigan eggs are worth 23e and this is also the price of other good Western stock. Canned goods in demand. Tomatoes are on their way up again, and bid fair to reach, if they do not pass, last year’s prices. They are quotable at $1.024¢@ 1.10 per dozen for New Jersey and Mary- land pack. Sugar is now only about a week be- hind in its deliveries, and the great American public is to be congratulated. Price unchanged. The meeting of the Wholesale Grocer’s Association was held on Oct. 4. Presi- dent G. Waldo Smith, in his annual ad- dress, speaking of the limited price sys- said that wholesalers must main- tain it or they must fail, or, at least, sell goods at unremunerative figures. While much has been accomplished in this di- rection, there still remain such goods as Royal Baking Powder and Baker’s Cocoa, the manufacturers of which refuse to grant a limited price and rebate, and they must be labored with. He sug- gested that the members of the Associa- tion have uniform terms and have them printed on their bills, offering discounts for prompt payments and charging inter- est on payments deferred. There ought to be more sociability, he thought, among the members in the way of stated dinners, where all could become better acquainted. Complaint was made at the meeting that some retailers were in the habit of clubbing together and buying sugar in 100-barrel lots, which they then divided among themselves at prices less than the limited prices established by the refiners. It was agreed to secure the services of a man to look the matter up. | Mr. Smith was re-elected President of the Association for the ensuing year. JAY. Weekly Report of Secretary Mills.

Rec- ommend only such as are worthy, and who are justly entitled to be called trav- eling men, and look well to their condi- tion of health and general good stand- ing.’’ An application blank was mailed to each member with notices of assessments | 3 and 4, and will be promptly forwarded | to any member upon request. A new supply of nickel-plated grip-tags have been secured and will be sent to any member upon request. For the convenience of our members who may wish to pay any dues or assess- ments when in this city, I have arranged with M. S. Goodman, Secretary of the Hazeltine & Perkins Drug Co., corner and Louis streets (two blocks from Morton House), to receive and re- ceipt for the same. A united effort is to be made by all or- ganizations of commercial travelers in the United States before the coming ses- sion of Congress, to obtain an amend- ‘TRADESMAN. ment to the inter-state commerce bill, to allow railroads to grant concessions of mileage and baggage to members of such organizations. The railroads are will- ing to do this so soon as they can legally and our Association is on record at Washington as having accomplished most effectual work in this direction, during the past four years of our exist- ence, through the successful campaign planned by ex-President Peake, who, by the way, has never carried a pound of excess baggage in his life, but did the work in fraternal regard for his more unfortunate fellow travelers and our As- sociation.
