ONLY A COUNTRY GIRL. |
Richard Wyndham will never forget!
his summer at Hillsboro’. Society was |
sorry to lose him from Newport that
season, but Society did not know how
small was the fortune left by Mr. Sewell
Wyndham.
Richard was decidedly out of temper.
He could have borne it all so much more
cheerfully had his bank account per-
mitted Bethlehem and the Maplewood.
But that was not to be thought of; so he
chose an eminently respectable New
England town, proportionately above the
sea level—this latter as a precaution
against a return of the hay fever. This
was his physician’s advice, and made
such an excellent excuse to give the
friends who urged him into a whirlpool
of gaiety.
He walked back and forth upon the
broad hotel piazza and looked at the
town, which he had not been able to see
in the darkness on his arrivel the night
before. The hills were all about, and
broad intervales stretched away on either
side. It was a beautiful view, and
Richard was not wholly unresponsive.
He threw away his cigar and walked
down the street. He noticed with ad-
miration the large yellow and white,
square, strongly built, pleasant old man-
sions, surrounded by acres of green grass
and well-kept lawns. He could see that
the village never had been desecrated by
capitalists; its very air proclaimed its
scorn of manufactures and the populace.
It was a New England town, pure and
simple, with its very shops in the side
streets.
It was impossible for Richard to clas-
sify the people who lived in such sub-
stantial old houses, so suggestive of
mahogany and old silver.
He had met only one country girl, and
he could hardly consider her a type of
the country girl, for she had spent so
much time in town and in foreign tfavel.
He had read a few stories of country
people, but the provincialism and rustic
dialect offended his good taste.
As he sauntered along, one house in
particular attracted his attention. It
was a delightfully picturesque old home-
stead, with its wide piazzas supported
by heavy columns. It was far back from
the elm-shaded street, with trees and
vines and flowers all about it. Like all
the lawns this was green, velvety, and
well kept.
Powdered wigs, silver buckles, knee
breeches, brocades, courtesies, and min-
uets were everywhere sug gested.
Richard wondered what sort of people
were left to keep up the old-time aris-
tocracy. It would be iconoclastic to
imagine them rustic, yet—
Ah! that might be a Dorothy coming
out the door. She paused to gather a
few of the climbing roses, then moved
on among the other flowers. She was
dressed very simply ina quaint gown of
white, yet it was allin the fashion of the
present day. He could not see her full
in the face,. but the oval and bloom of
her cheek, the light curls about her
forehead, the low coil of hair on her
neck, the modeling of the upraised arms,
the outline of her figure, emphasized his
first impression that she was beautiful
and suggested that she might grace other
than a country house.
Richard walked on through the village
until he came to a road that led to the
grove beyond. There, warm and tired,
he threw himself down under a tree to
rest in the shade.
For a little while all was quiet; then
the sound of hoofs, the barking and
bounding of dogs, and a horse and its
rider passed by him. He had recog-
nized something familar in the figure of
the woman in the saddle.
By and by, as he turned his steps to
the village, he came to the bend in the
road, and saw, standing there, the young
girl who had ridden past him, trying to
tighted the saddle girth. Richard walked
a little faster, lifted his hat and asked if
he could be of service. He had soon
straightened the saddle, buckled the
strap, and was left walking. toward the
hotel.
‘‘A truly rural incident,” he laughed
to himself. ‘‘Those straps are always
breaking in the country—that is, if Ican
trust to the story writers who are always
constructing plots about them—but they
are a little hackneyed at present, thongh.”
He wished that Guy Stuydevant were
with him, though he would not in the
slightest be interested in a country girl.
Richard had a clear mental photograph
of the girl whom Guy would marry. She
would be tall, and dark, and proud. She
need not have money, but she must have
irreproachable connections. Richard
sometimes wondered about the girl he
himself would marry. Not that he had
ever been in love, or was in haste to wed.
His batchelor apartments at the club
were as comfortable as they were expen-
sive—and he knew that three thousand a
year was a beggarly income for one,
much less for two. In his boyhood he
had decided that beauty would win the
day; a little latter he had thought that a
fortune—with or without beauty, if it
must be so—would go along way in her
favor. He needed no one to help him
establish a social position—that was done
for him years before he was born. And,
besides ancestry and a coat of arms, he
had height and breadth, and asufiiciently
attractive face and manner to insure a
ready smile from all women.
A week had passed Richard
tightened the saddle girth, and the pretty
figure on horseback was quite familar to
him. In fact there seemed nothing to do
in Hillsboro’ but ride or walk. There
were a few people at the hotel, but
Richard did not find their society espe-
cially enlivening, so he was thrown upon
his own resources for amusement. Inthe
morning he walked in one direction, in
the evening, in the opposite. It was be-
coming unbearably stupid. The season
at Newport was an unusually brilliant
one, his friends wrote. That very night
Mrs. Wheeler was to give a great ball.
He thought of Harriet Wheeler. She
since
was undeniably plain, but would inherit
such a fortune—and she had long been
sighing her heart away for Richard.
Well—
Just then Richard glanced up to see a
young woman saunteriug along before
him, in the pleasant twilight. Twodogs
were leaping and running through the
bushes on either side. Then the trees
hid the girl from Richard’s sight. The
next time he glanced up, he saw a rough
looking man _ stopping her, evidently
begging or demanding money. She tried
to pass, but the tramp seized her wrist.
Richard’s college sports and record as
a swift runner stood him in good service.
The tramp saw Richard bearing down
upon him; he hesitated a moment as tak-
ing a mental inventory of the young
man’s strength, then made a dash for
the woods.
Richard’s offered escort to her home
was eagerly accepted. Her half-breath-
less, tremulous manner, her cheeks
flushing and paling, made him feel very
chivalrous towards the defenseless crea-
ture by his side. She even started nerv-
ously when the dogs came crashing out
the thicket. ‘‘I am sorry,’’ she faltered;
‘IT never dreamed of danger—I always
walk or ride at sunset—and nothing ever
happened before. I am so grateful to
you—what should I have done’’—
Her voice was low and pleasant, and
she had none of the disagreeable man-
nerisms that Richard had read about.
She was almost childlike in her sim-
plicity—another phase of country life,
Richard theught. And it was not un-
pleasant after the laissez aller of the
New York bred girl.
They found her mother sitting on the
piazza, while the daughter, not yet self-
possessed, told, in a breathless way, a
tale that horrified her mother and gave
the impression that Richard had behaved
like a hero, dispersing an army of so-
cialists.
After being warmly thanked for his
gallant behavior, Richard left his card,
and called the next morning—after the
conventional precedent in books—to in-
quire for the health of the young woman
he had rescued. In the brightness of
the morning light and the less excited
state of her daughter, Mrs. Alger was in-
clined to look upon the young rescuer’s
part with less enthusiasm than the even-
ing before. However, she was suffi-
ciently grateful, after finding that he was
to be in Hilisboro’ several weeks, to in-
vite him in a way that might or might
not be accepted, to call again. This was
a courtesy not usually given to people
who came to the Hillsboro’ House.
It.
Richard found it very pleasant to go to
the Algers’. He used to wonder, as he
and Ethel talked, if she would not open
her innocent blue eyes at the world—at
his world. Not that the Algers were
even provincial, nor that the women of
his set were better bred, more gra-
cious, and surely few had the sunshine
and charm. Yet there seemed a wide
gulf separating the simple people of

He used to feel that perhaps he ought

{
He failed in this, and began going over
the same mental ground he had been
traveling the last twenty-four hours. He
had made no mistake—there could be no
complications.
He thought of his income. Three
thousand dollars! It would take that
sum to dress a wife properly—dinner
gowns, evening, walking, driving, recep-
tion and ball costumes; jewels, laces,
bonnets, wraps, shoes, gloxes, parasols!
Ethel seemed to have simple enough
tastes now, but in the whirlpool of fash-
ion she might lose her head.
He had often pictured to himself the
sort of establishment he would like to
own. There must also be.a country
house, a yacht; then the dinners, the
flowers, the horses, the wines. He ’must
give up all these ideas of matrimonial
bliss if he were to marry Ethel. Stocks
had so depreciated that the income on
his father’s property amounted to searce-
ly three thousand dollars. It was mad-
ness for a man in his social position to
think of marrying a girl without a for-
tune.
Yet he could not bear to think of her
marriage. It would be a country lawyer,
probably.
He wondered how Ethel would carry
off the responsibilities of hostess, how
she would Jook in an opera box. After
all, his club apartments were delightful.
What if Ethel should not regard the cus-
toms of the Wyndhams? She seemed to
take guidance from a sort of revolution-
ary spirit, probably the same that led her
mother to ignore tradition and marry an
artist.
Ethel used, with a sweep of her pretty
hand and aturn of her stately neck, to
renounce some of the very things that
were indispensable to the people he
knew. Sometimes he used to fancy she
was not a novice in social matters. Yet
they had never talked of the fashionable
world, for he had not wished to embar-
rass her about that which she had never
seen.
He could imagine how she would open
her pretty blue eyes at the merry-go-
round of society. At such times he felt
he could forego everything, and take
Ethel by the hand and livein an Arcadian
spot. But he was afraid that piping to
sheep might become monotonous after
the first flush of springtide was over.
As the weeks went on Richard loathed
the city. He longed to go back to Hills-
boro’ where he could once more sit on
the old piazza and look into the face
that haunted his dreams. It was on
these keen autumn mornings, when the
sun shone brightly and cleared away the
mists, that walking or riding would be
so delightful. Ethel would call her dogs
—he could see her now, erect in the sad-
dle, galloping over the country, Don and
Duke bounding on before.
The impulse was strong upon him. He
would fling up everything and go back to
the dear voice that was calling him.
But everything seemed to conspire to
keep him in New York. The autumn
was growing late. Familiar faces were
again upon the streets, and houses were
once more inhabited. The Stuydevants
were at home, and Richard was about to
look up Guy, when he received cards to
a ball, and a note from Guy telling him
it was to be given in honor of his be-
trothed.
O80 Guy was engaged! Richard was
quite unprepared for that news—he was
not so anxious to see Guy after all. He
felt a cold despair creep over him, with
the conviction that after seeing Guy’s|
fiancee he would postpene his visit to
Hillsboro’.
Guy was engaged. And unhappy
Richard did not try to find him to con-
gratulate him and wish him happiness.
He was very unresponsive to his friend’s
happiness. He heard his aunts speaking
about the size of the girl’s fortune, her
beauty, her honorable and ancient family
name, her distinguished connections.
Richard listened with a sigh.
was a lucky dog—
Ah, Ethel!
Richard paced up and down Lis room
some time atter the hour appointed by
the Stuydevants to receive their guests.
He regarded his reflection in the mirror,
face to face, and felt a certain satisfac-

saw carriage after carriage roll up and
away, its occupants passing under the
canvas canopy that extended from the
curbing to the door that was continually
opening and closing. The
brilliantly lighted, the vestibule set with
plants and palms. Strains of music
floated out upon the night air, yet Rich-
ard dismissed his coachman, and decided
to walk a little.before going in to see
Guy’s betrothed.
An hour later he entered the swinging
door, and caught glimpses of shining
jewels, white shoulders, a mingling of
black coats with rich silks and dainty
laces. He breathed the perfume of
flowers, and heard the seductive refrain
of ‘‘A Thousand and One Nights’’ waltz.
When he came down stairs the rooms
were a little less crowded, for the dancers
had sought the ball room, and Richard
more easily made his way to Mrs. and
house was
Miss Stuydevant. They murmured
something about his meeting Guy’s
fiancee. He was listening in only a
dreamy sort of way, for he sawthe dark
tall creature standing near Guy—but his
gaze was riveted upon a beautiful girl
near Miss Stuydevant.
The blood mounted to his face, he
looked at her with his soul in his eyes.
She stood calm and smiling and well
dressed, but with the same simplicity as
last summer at Hillsboro’. Now he saw
it was that very simplicity which gave
her distinction, and she seemed to belong
as much to this scene as to the great
house in the country.
How came she here! Whatif she had
not a queenly fortune—he loved her! He
cared not for poverty. He would follow
the guidance of his heart and will.
What if the woman by Guy’s side were
radiant in glitter and jewels—his dear
one carried only flowers. The other was
tall and dark and proud—his dear one
was fair and sweet and gentle.
With her any spot were paradise.
How had he lived these few months
away from her? Bah! Society! What
did he care for that? It was selfish and
hollow. He went swiftly toward Ethel
while she smilingly advanced a few steps.
Her manner was as sweet and gracious
and frank as ever.
She looked at him with her face radi-
ant, and her eyes shining with a softly
illuminated brightness.
Richard ceased wondering how she
happened there—such was his joy to
greet her.
*‘Ah, Miss Alger!” he cried in an im-
passioned tone. ‘‘It is such a delight to

Ishpeming—A. J. Austin, the meat
dealer, is a philanthropist in his way. In-
stead of throwing his waste meat away,
he puts it into a big cauldron, adds ecab-
bage, rice and other vegetables, pours in
water, and thus produces an excellent
soup. Mr. Austin has kept a number of
families from starvation in this way at
an expense of about $1 per day.
Stetson—A. J. Felter, who has been
engaged in general trade here for several
years, has formed a copartnership with
John De Vore under the style of De Vore
& Co. for the purpose of handling lines
of crockery, glassware, notions, wall pa-
per and stationery in a new store build-
ing, 20x40 feet in dimensions, adjoining
Mr. Stetson’s establishment. Mr. De
Vore has clerked for Mr. Felter several
years and will probably reap the reward
of faithfulness in his new undertaking.
Saginaw—E. St. John has given
Charles H. Green a mortgage on his book
and stationery stock and real estate as
trustee for creditors whom he is owing
$45,608.37. Those who have endorsed
his paper are made preferred creditors.
All of his private property, with the ex-
ception of his homestead, is turned over
to his creditors, including several houses
and lots, which are the private property
of his wife, who insisted on paying every
dollar so far as their joint property
would do it.
Montague—Wm. Peck closed the store
of the Peck Mercantile Co. and filed a
bill in the Circuit Court to

chattel mortgage given by the company
to himself. The amount of the chattel
mortgage is $2,526.28, which Mr. Peck
claims was given to him to cover five
notes given at different times. He also
asked for a receiver and John H. Chap-
man was appointed, with bonds of $8,000,
with E. M. Ruggles and J. C. Lewis as
sureties. Mr. Chapman is now in pos-
session of the stock and is taking an in-
ventory.
The liabilities are given as
$4,600. The assets are $5,000 in goods
and $2,300 in accounts. The closing of
j the store by Mr. Peck was done to pro-
| tect his own interests in the stock from
|existing judgments against against the
| Peck Mercantile Co.

Sidnaw—An extension of the Nester
estate logging road from this place to
Baraga is contemplated, and surveyors
will begin work there shortly. The dis-
tance is about twenty-five miles, almost
entirely through a heavily timbered
country.
Manistee—The Canfield & Wheeler
Co. hasaman along the river buying
logs and is picking up quite a lot of
hemlock and a few lots of pine. Al-
ready 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 feet have
been secured, to be put in on
The balance of the company’s cut comes
in by rail over the Manistee & North-
eastern.
Menominee—The two sawmills of the
Ludington, Wells & Van Schaick Co. cut
45,000,000 feet of lumber, besides the
usual large amount of other mill prod-
ucts. About 6,000,000 feet of the lumber
cutis piled in the yard. The company
now has twelve camps in operation and
will bank about 30,000,000 feet of logs
this winter.
Menominee—The Bay Shore Lumber
Co.’s sawmill has cut 31,000,000 feet of
lumber for the season. Of this amount
12,000,000 feet is piled on the docks and
in the yard. This lumber is owned by
Holland, Graves & Montgomery, of Buf-
falo. The company is operating three
camps on Sturgeon River, about nine
miles from Norway, giving employment
to 125 men and sixty teams, and already
has 8,000,000 feet of logs skidded.
Muskegon—In accordance with the
agreement entered into by the Muskegon
log owners with the Muskegon Booming
Company, a dredge is now on its way up
the river. Itis experiencing unlimited
difficulty in endeavoring to get to the
places in the river where its work must
be done. The probabilities are that the
work will be quite expensive, and as it
enters into the cost of next year’s drive,
log owners, of course, are interested.
Menominee—TheKirby-Carpenter Co.’s
two sawmills, which are the largest pro-
ducers on the river, close the season’s
operations with 96,288,284 feet of lum-
ber, 23,147,000 shingles and 16,848,650
lath. It is estimated that 48,000,000 feet
of lumber remains in the yard at this
writing. This company now has twen-
ty-one logging camps in and
expects to bank upward of 75,000,000 |
feet during the winter. The late fall of |
snow has greatly improved the roads,
and 10,000,000 feet of logs are now on}
the skids.

and the Peters mills will run for some
time—the Peters concern as long as they
can get logs and the Buckley & Douglas
all winter. The latter will saw hemlock
and hardwoods, as usual, expecting to}
put up about 4,000,000 feet of hardwoods | |
before spring. They want about a month |
for repairs and are undecided whether |
they will take it in December or March.

Filer & Sons have about 16,-
000 barrels in bulk in their bins. The
State Lumber Co. is tearing out some of
its grainers and putting in new ones. A
few years ago nothing but the best white
pine was thought good enough for this
purpose, but now hemlock plank is used
entirely, and to obviate the splintering
and wear under the shovels used for lift-
ing the salt, the grainers are lined with
maple culls, one inch thick, of which
there is ore a surplus.

The Grocery Market.
Sugar—The market is still weak, the
decline of a week ago having failed to
induce any rallying movement. Jobbers
are buying only for immediate wants,
being still sore from their recent expe-
rience in attempting to anticipate the
wants of thetrade. Retail dealers would
do well to buy sparingly, as the present
indications are that the staple will go We
lower before many months shall have
elapsed.

The Hardware Market.
General trade has been good the
past week in all lines of hardware. The
snow storm seemed to have been quite
very
general in Western Michigan and to have
had a good effect trade. Very few
lines of however, show any im-
provement in prices and the
seems to be lower.
Wire Nails—At the low prices which
are being named on carload shipments
from mill for future, many orders are
being placed. We quote $1.20 at mill
for January and February, which does |
not indicate any prospect of higher |

market.
Sleigh Bells—The demand, owing to}
the snow, has started up with a good |
deal of briskness.
are soon broken, as jobbers purchased |
sparingly, fearing an oven winter. We
quote string bells at 90c@$2 a string.
Snow Shovels—The demand being large
and stoeks very low, all the manufac-
turers are sold out, and cannot promise
to fill orders for at least fifteen days;
and, as no one can tell what the weather
will be in that time, jobbers hesitate
about placing an order.
Hand Sleighs—In sympathy with bells
and snow shovels, the demand for sleighs
has not been so good in many years; and,
as we have had three bad winters, all
manufacturers have been pursuing a
conservative course and are caught with
very light stocks; and as jobbers do not
stock up ahead as they did years ago,
somebody will have to go without.
Crosscut Saws—Are moving nicely.
The Atkins, Simonds and Lumberman’s
Pride seem to take the lead. Should we
have a good, old-fashioned winter, we
may look for a good demand. We quote
Atkins at 30c per foot; Lumberman’s
Pride, 30e; Simonds 6-foot, $4.80;
foot,-35. —— less 25 per cent.

Card from the Valley City Milling Co.
GRAND Rapips, Dee. 4—In the pub-
lished proceedings of your meeting, held
Nov. 20, you quote Mr. Peter Schuit as
saying, ‘‘Lily White appears to be sold
at all kinds of prices,” and Mr. Daniel
Viergiver as saying, ‘‘That the Valley
Jity Mills retail from one to two tons a
day.” Both these statements are incor-
rect and do us great injustice. The facts
are we have only one price (discount, if
any), based upon terms and quantity, as
in every other line of business. As for
our asking all the way from $1.50 to $1.75
per 100, we can say that since Nov. 13
we have asked no more than $1.65 in
small lots, on usual terms, and no less
than $1.55 in large quantities on a cash
basis. Mr. Viergiver has not favored us
with his orders, nor have we had any
dealings whatever with him, and he is
not, therefore, in a position to talk about
how we do business. We desire to state,
distinetly and once for all, that we do
not do a retail business, but, on the con-
trary, have referred scores of people to
their nearest retail grocer. Sinee the
hard times began we have made free de-
livery of flour to the poor and needy
when asked todo so by some generous
citizen desiring to relieve distress, and to
our own employes who help make the
flour and do our business we always
have furnished and always expect to fur-
nish flour at wholesale price.
Referring again to prices, no retailer
can say we have sold him, or even offered
him, ‘‘Lily White’? flour for less than
$1.55 per 100, and if there is one who can
say we have, we invite him to do so. We
have been decidedly misrepresented, and,
no doubt, unintentionally, by the gentle-
men referred to, and would suggest that
members of your Association investigate
grievances of all kinds very carefully
before making publie statements harm-
ful either to a jobber or a manufacturer.
Sincerely yours,

THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN.
THE MICHIGAN CRANBERRY.
In the early days of Michigan history |
it was very common to hear the remark,
‘**The marshes are red with cranberries,”
and among the early settlers the
berry became a very
winter supply,
at the established price of 2
bushel.
From numerous sources of informa-
tion, lam Jed to believe there were as
many or more wild cranberries in Michi-
gan in the early days as in Wisconsin,
but so negiectful have the later settlers
of our State been of this gift of nature
that I doubt if the value of the Michigan
crop has ever been as much as $50,000 in
one year, while many cropsof Wisconsin
have probably been sold for as much as
$500,000. A great share of the lands
that were by nature cranberry lands have
been turned to less profitable uses, some
of them possibly to better purposes, such
as the celery lands of Kalamazoo and
other points. There are yet many pieces of
waste land in our S ate that can be made
valuable for this fruit, but care and ex-
perience are needed to select the places
having the right conditions.

There are some plantations about the
Traverse Bay region that are very suc-

State. I do not know of any having
more perfect frost protection than the
“Grand Mere’? farm near St. Josepb,
where we have lost but one crop in four-
teen yeurs from frost. This land ic
practically a ‘‘bayou” alongside the
great lake, with just elevation enough
for drainage.
The average Michigan native

ers seek for **Michigan Bugles’’ to
satisfy their customers.
The the

has not yet had the attention it deserves,
but offers an interesting field for study
and experiment.
The prices of the cranberry have been
quite materially reduced by the large
product, but they are yet too high to be
as stapie as they should be for economi-
eal buyers. A lower price will no doubt
largely increase the demand, and foreign
markets take them when they are com-
paratively as cheap as apples.

Rome and Greece united in admiration

distinction are not to be got save by the
use of intellectual forces and physical
exertions, and commonly persons must
be specially endowed in order to obtain
particular supremacy. The idle, the
profligate, the ignorant, who are embit-
tered because they themselves have not
reached positions of wealth and distine-
tion, and are enraged against those who
have, are socialists of an aggravated
type. When they go to the extent of
seeking to destroy those who are above
them in the social scale, then they be-
come nihilists and anarchists, who are
socialists of the worst type.
But the large bodies of socialists are a
good sort of people, who, brooding on
the inequalities of social condition, de-
sire to even up or level down society, so
that all may be equal in wealth and con-
dition, a situation utterly impossible un-
tilfall human beings are made intellec-
tually, morally and physically equal.
The differences of individuals have
brought about existing conditions of so-
ciety, and these will remain until the
end of the world, and after it, if such
contingencies may be figured on.
In an autocratic country, where the
law declares that some are better than
others, and are entitled by the mere ac-
cident of birth to rule over others, there
is some excuse for the popular dissatis-
It must be remembered that fifty years
ago this great nation had nothing like
the population, the aggregated wealth
and the representatives in State and na-
tional legislatures that exist to-day. In
1840 there were only twenty-eight States
with a population of less than 18,000,000.
There were fifty-eight Senators and some
135 Representatives in Congress. To-day
forty-four States with a population of
more than 65,000,000, represented by
eighty-eight Senators and more than 300
Representatives, not to speak of State
and city governments, furnish vast
hordes of officials who handle thousands
of millions of public funds, and neces-
sarily, in the same proportion, the more
officials there are, the more dishonest
men there are among them. But itis ex-
tremely doubtful if men to-day are, as a
rule, any less honest than they were half
a century ago.
True, since the civil war, a point in
American history from which an entirely
new era of American politics must be
dated, there have been many examples
of publie corruption, not only in Federal,
but in State and municipal public life.
Nevertheless, it cannot be held that ear-
lier generations were entirely guiltless.

Suppose these amounts charged as loans
were genuine loans to Congressmen, and
itis very doubtful if they were, the en-

corrupt, and the result of it was that the

bacteriologists have developed the fact |
that not only tyrotoxicon. but also the
peculiar flavors characteristic of cheese, |
are products of decomposition and
fermentation. These facts are gradually |
becoming known to the public, and ao)

all due respect to Prof. Henry as a sci-

which have been advanced by some mod-
ern bacteriologists, but a careful study

sense from that by which cider is econ-

The digestive process is a change by
and without any destructive
change, and without decomposition prod-
ucts. The fermentation which takes
place in cheese is a process in which poi-
sonous products are formed and destruc-
tive processes take place. It is impossi-
ble to believe that any such process is
essential te the digestive process. Fer-/
mentation, properly so-called, is the re-
sult of the action of germs. It is possi-
ble to conceive of a person’s being born
under circumstances in which germs
might be entirely absent. Would Prof.
Henry undertake to assert that an indi-
vidual born under such happy cireum-
stances would be made_ better by intro-
ducing germs into his stomach, or that
he would be likely to die of indigestion
because his food was entirely free from
germs? On the contrary, every physi-
cian knows that the freer the stomach is
from foreign microbes the better, and the
more perfect is the digestive process.
The writer has made a careful chemi-
cal study of over 2.500 stomach fluids
furnished by nearly 2,000 different per-
| sons, and has found a constant associa-
tion between a multiplicity of microbes
in the stomach and a deteriorated diges-
tive product. In the treatment of dis-
ordered digestion, it has many times been |
found necessary to suppress altogether
foods containing microbes, including
yeast bread, unless the latter has been
previously sterilized by conversion into
zwieback. It is possible to prepare light,
out either baking powder or yeast, a fact
aware, as he gives us no alternative ex- |
from baking powder, or sodden bread.
Although eschewing each of the three
kinds the writer
largely supplied with an
abundance of most palatable bread made
of bread mentioned,

A New Mineral.
An American chemist has recently dis-
covered a new mineral which, in hard-
ness and beauty, is only second to the
diamond. The discovery was made quite
accidentally. He was experimenting iu
the manufacture of diamonds, and was
using the aluminum smelting apparatus
of a Lockport, N. Y., firm, where elec-
tricity is employed and an enormously
high temperature produced. By mere
chance he put into the crucible together
a lump of clay and a piece of graphite,
and the result was some small wine-col-
ored crystals of rhomboidal form, which
proved to be harder than sapphire.
Chemical analysis proved that the erys-
tals were composed of carbon and silicon
in a combination hitherto unheard of.
it does not occur innature. The process
above described, repeated again and
again, produced the wine-colored rhom-
boids every time. A company has been
formed to manufacture them for polish-
ing all sorts of things, even diamonds.
They are crushed to powder like emery
and made into wheels with a cementing
compound. The demand for them is al-
ready greater than the supply. The new
mineral has been named ecarborundum.

Court, holding that the act
mitted on the high seas, and,
a State court could not have jurisdiction
over it.
This claim was sustained by the high-
est court, which decided that the lakes
are high seas and subject to all the regu-
lations as to all acts done upon their
waters just as if such acts were done
upon the ocean. Of course, nobody is
going to callin question the sufficiency
of this decision, but it is not amiss to
inquire as to what may possibly result
from it in an international controversy.
It has always been held that, so far as
the lakes are boundaries between the
United States and the British dominions,
the line of international demarcation
was drawn through the middle of the
great bodies and of the connecting
streams of such waters, on its own side
of the dividing line. Butif these waters
are high seas, they are not to be divided
or allotted to any power, but any country
has jurisdiction only over the accustomed
maritime league from shore, and inside a
line from headland to headland, at the
mouths of rivers, inlets and bays.
If it is to be held from such a decision
that the United States does not claim
control beyond the maritime league on
the lakes, but that those waters are
the same as the ocean, free to every ship
and every power that sends its ships
upon the ocean, it may prove a serious
matter. But does the British Govern-
ment make a like surrender as to the
waters on its side of the line? It is
not likely. A power which excludes
American fishing vessels from the mouth
of the St. Lawrence, and from all the
bays and inlets from the Bay of Fundy
to beyond Labrador, is not likely to
give up voluntarily control over an inch
of the land or sea which it holds.
But an interesting question comes up
in the case of Lake Michigan. Every
foot of its coast is in the United States,
and where it joins Lake Huron the line
from headland to headland units two |
shores of the State of Michigan. Is Lake |
Michigan also a part of this free fresh- |
water ocean? Is Chicago only separated
by a league of water from the open sea,
where the warships of every nation may
cruise at pleasure? The United States,
not many years ago, set up the high
claim that Behring Sea, an integral part
of the Pacific Ocean, was an American
lake. This has, however, been long ago
abandoned, and now it appears that an
American lake, a fresh-water lake at
that, wholly inclosed in United States
territory, is a high If this be the
was
sea.
there is an immense descent from the
arrogant claim upon Behring Sea to the |
voluntary surrender of ownership of a!
fresh-water inland lake.

Is the Profit on Bread Too Large?
Written for Toe TRADESMAN.
Five thousand destitute people in the
city and one and four ounces of
bread cost eight cents! What will these
destitute people do for bread this win-
ter?
pound
it would seem as though cruel cir-
cumstances would compel them to forego
this great luxury and confine their diet
to cheaper food, such as pies, cakes,
tarts, roast pig. stuffed turkey and cran-
berry sauce. Eight-cent bread was all
right in war times when everything was
dear, work plentiful and wages high:
but now, when wheat is a drug in the
market at 54 cents per bushel, and labor
so overwhelmingly abundant that it will |
not command any price, such extrava-
gance would be almost criminal.
Somebody said that bread was the staff |
of life, but he didn’t mean the kind of
bread that and two-fifths
cents a pound, when wheat is worth only |
nine-tenths of one cent a pound. Oh, no; |
it would be an insult to the memory of |
the author of this familiar saying to cali}
eight-cent bread made from fifty-four-|
cent wheat the ‘‘staff of life.”” A ‘‘staff” |
of life is something that life may rely
upon for a sure support when everything
else passes beyond reach: but a pound |
and a quarter of bread at eight cents is|
not even among the possibilities for those
who are fairly able to help themselves,
and as to those who are entirely help-
less, it is simply preposterous to think
of it.
The bakers say they feel the effects of
the hard times. No one disputes them.
Indeed, if this were not the case it would
be impossible to make any sane person
believe that the times are hard. If the
quantity of eight-cent bread sold did not
show signs of diminution it would cer-
tainly be an indication that the times are
good and people had more money than
they know what to do with. By way of
justifying themselves before the publie,
and of pacifying their own troubled con-
sciences, the bakers claim that.

for their goods,
the confectioner, the fancy gro-
cer, the jeweler, the merchant tailor and
scores of others; but in their cases the
falling off in trade is a di-
minished consumption made imperative
by the stringency of the times. In the
baker’s case it is not so. The direct ef-
fect of this stringency is to increase the
consumption of bread which is the staff
of life, and decrease the consumption of
luxuries and even many of the se-entied |
necessaries not indispensible in the
maintenance of life. The cause of the
falling off of the baker’s trade is a less-
ened demand for the eight-cent article
which is a luxury of the luxuries, and
one that is altogether dispensible in the
question of domestic economy.
the result of
The bakers have made an egregious
blunder in this matter. In their greedy
persistency in maintaining the present
extortionate price of bread, in defiance
of the stringency of the times and in ut-
ter disregard of the principles of justice
and common sense, they have invited a
large number of domestic (home-made)
bread makers all over the city to enter
the field and compete with them in gath-

Adding to this the 30 per cent. advantage
already pointed out, it gives the baker a
profit of 326 per cent. Remember, the

The Potato Crop of the World.
The potato crop of the world amounts
to the enormous sum of 2,850,000,000
bushels, by far the largest proportion of
which is grown in Europe. Germany is
the largest potato producing and con-
suming country in the world, with the
average production of nearly 900,000,000
bushels per annum, and in years of the
largest production exceeding 1,000,000,-
000 bushels. Russia comes next with a
crop of 464,000,000 bushels, closely fol-
lowed by Austria-Hungary and France.
The crop of the United States is small in
comparison with that of Europe, aver-
aging only about 170,000,000 bushels,
which is considerably less than that of
the United Kingdom. This crop does
not largely enter into the foreign trade
of any country, the supply being mainly
for home use.

GRAND LEDGE, Nov. 28—M. Rosen,
clothier and gents’ furnishings goods,
mysteriously vanished from this city
sometime between Saturday night and
Monday morning. Recent developments
show that his stock is also gone. Dili-
gent search and inquiry reveal nothing,
only that fora week past someone has
come to the alley back of the store about
8 o’clock each night with a chestnut
horse and express wagon,-and about 11
o’clock would leave with a load of boxes
and trunks. Which way or where he
went no one knows. To-day there are
creditors on the ground representing
$3,000 to $4,000. Notice was left on the
door saying: ‘*Will be back in two days.’’
The boxes are all left on the shelves,
making it look as if the goods were there,
and the store was already to open, and
not until the door was forced open and
the boxes examined was it found that
the goods were all gone.

NEW PHASE OF THE SUGAR QUES-
TION.
All that I know is that the facts I state
Are true as truth has ever been of late.
—Byron.
There is a bright side even to the work
of a storekeeper.
There was once a customer who bought
a big bill of goods, allowed the clerk to
make the selections, asked no questions
as to cost or quality, paid spot cash for
everything and took the goods away from
the store himself.
But that is another story,* and the man
is now dead. Let us hope that he rests
easily in his grave, and that the flowers
of spring bloom unceasingly and spread
perpetual fragrance above his tomb.
Requiescat in pace.
It is often a pleasure to supply infor-
mation to those whe seek knowledge
and who go about obtaining it in a be-
coming manner. The writer is acquaint-
ed with one such, and the penstock to
the fount of wisdom ever responds read-
ily to her magic touch.
“Mr. Thurston, have you any sugar?’’
“We have.”
‘‘What kinds do you keep?”
‘Well, several. What kind would you
like?’’
“Tl hardly know. The last light brown
sugar I got tasted smoky—I didn’t get it
here—and I don’t like that kind very
well. Does yours taste smoky?”
‘I think not. Never heard that it did.
However, here it is, and you can taste
for yourself.’’
“No, I don’t think that tastes as
smoky as the other did. It seems quite
nice; but that was so smoky | think per-
haps I had better take some other kind.
Is this all you have?’’
“0, no. Would

“I don’t Know about that, either. I

Summer that wasn’t sweet at all. Is
yours sweet?’
*“O, yes, ma’am: ours is sweet, I’m
sure. At least I never heard anyone
complain of it.”’
“‘Are you sure it’s sweet?”
“*Yes, ma’am; very sure.”
“Il think I had better look at it, any-
way. I saw some granulated sugar that
a neighbor had that was so coarse that it
wouldn’t hardly dissolve, and, of course,
sugar that won’t dissolve isn’t just the
thing for coffee. That looks quite good.
Yes, it tastes sweet at first.

“I suppose it is.’’
‘‘Ain’t you sure, then?”
‘‘Why, yes; I am pretty sure.

“Don’t you think the brown sugar

that dark sugar cannot be pure, and to
purify or refine brown sugar the dark
particles of coloring matter must be re- |

be wrong.”

dealer all the shoes you will need for,

for less money than any Montgomery |
Ward & Co. dare name in their cata-
logues.”
“I don’t see why you can’t sell one
pair at a time just as cheap as a dozen.”’
“It is because it often takes as long to
sell one pair as it does to sell six. Mer-
chants are like farmers in one respect—
they like to see money coming in in
large sums. Supposing | make a profit
of 25 cents on a pair of shoes that it
takes me fifteen minutes to sell—”
“I think that is an outlandish profit
to make on a pair of shoes!’’
‘Well, but I mean by way of illustra-
tion. Now, if in half an hour I could
sell five pairs more to the same _ per-
making pairs in all, there
would bea profit of a dollar and a half.
Well, then, why couldn’t I throw off
enough on the lot to make it an object to
the customer?”’
“Oh, I suppose you could. You mer-
chants make big enough profits anyway.
I’ve heard that you don’t get less than a
hundred per cent. on anything, and
from that up. I know a man that
used to be a clerk in a store, and he says
they always made just half profit on
sugar, and [ think you ought to sell
sugar cheaper. Can’t you?”’
‘No, ma’am, we can’t. Sugars are up
and we are giving you the best possible
price.”’
*‘What made sugar raise?”
“The war in Maracaibo.”’
“My! Is thatso? Whatis the matter
there?”
‘Why, the king’s

Then the sowed a few rows of
field corn in the same place, with the
hope of blending the two and raising suec-
cotash. This, of course, didn’t work, for
the oysters climbed the bean poles, and
they were cooked whole for string beans,
the king eating so many of them, shells
and all, that it made him dreadful sick.
The queen was mad because the king ate
her oysters, and so they have gone to

Fanny, isn’t it?’’
“No, I don’t see as it’s very funny.
It’s just queer. But I’ve heard that they
do strange things in those foreign places.
Then most likely there won’t
sugar at all after a little.’’
‘Not if the war keeps on.”
“Do tell! And how much would you
charge for a barrel of granulated?’’
“Couldn’t make any better price.”’
‘**How many pounds of the light brown
for a dollar?’’
‘Sixteen.”
‘“‘How much by the barrel?’’
‘Same price.”’

will evaporate after a while?’’

Points for Clerks.
Of all the allurements which beguile
the steps of youth, probably not one is so
powerful and so fatal as false friendship.
And it is ‘‘false’’? in every sense. The
‘honor among thieves’? is only in the
name. The bund between them is one of
fear and hate, rather than confidence and
love. However fair and flattering
promises of those who tempt others
do evil, they are at heart hollow. When
a ‘tool’? has served his purpose he
cast off with
contempt.
A certain Frenchman named Dentz had
betrayed a party who was considered

As the hour approached, the secretary
sent a messenger for his son. When he
came he said; ‘Look well now at what
passes, and never forget it. You will
see what a traitor is and the method of
paying him.’’
Dentz entered the apartment and ap-
proached the desk behind which his pay-
master was standing. A sign was made
for him to atop. On the desk lay two
packages of 25,000 franes each. With a
pair of tongs each package was picked up
and dropped into the outstretched hand
of the other, and then he was pointed to
the door. A dog would have been treated
with more respect and consideration.
One rather wonders what were the feel-
ings of the man as he retired with such
gains in his possession. The love of
money must have been very strong to
have given much pleasure without that
which gives money its chief value, the
respect of his fellows.
When one has made money at the ex-
pense of his reputation, he has lost
ground he will hardly be able to recover.
But the loss to himself from the
moral standpoint is far greater than any
disadvantages that may arise because of
‘‘what people may say about him.’’ What
you are is far more important than what
folks think you are. Said Macaulay:
‘‘One foolish line of a man can do him
more harm than the ablest pamphlets
against him by other people;” and the
same is true of one evil act. Just a
forged signature to a paper can blacken
aman’s whole prospects for life, and
bring disgrace and ruin on all associated
with him.
There have never been better cautions
and directions given than those which
Solomon wrote down, though his observa-
tions of life were made from the stand-
point of a palace, and one would sup-
pose he had seen life mainly on its pleas-
ing side. Yet the old world goes on
much in the same pace. Evil workers
say now as then to those they would lead
astray: ‘“‘Castin thy lot among us; let
us all have one purse. We shall find all
precious substance; we shall fill our
homes with spoil.” Well does he add
the caution: ‘‘Walk not thou with them;
refrain thy foot from their paths.”
There is not a crooked way of getting
money that does not bring ‘ta wound and
dishonor;”’? and the wound to the spirit
of the too trusting, deceived youth is
often the hardest of all to bear.

‘““To-Morrow’”’ Never Comes.
Longfellow has said that ‘‘Our unfin-
ished tasks wait like mendicants at our
gate.”? The shiftless man expects to ac-
complish to-morrow the work of yester-
day, and wastes to-day in vague plans
for the future. The satisfaction of be-
ing abreast of his work he has never

complains, ‘‘no time to do anything.’
He is always afew minutes too late to
catch the train, or just misses an import-
ant appointment.
His position is like that of a person
who would attempt to climb a ladder
with both hands full of packages. A
step forward means the loss of balance,
and the shiftless man spends all his en-
ergy in recovering his own possessions.
What he did yesterday slips from his
grasp as he reflects on to-morrow, be-
cause his plans do not provide for the
necessities of to-day. He resolves at
night to accomplish the unfinished task
to-morrow, but when the sun rises he
discovers that it is simply another ‘‘to-
day,” and delays the purpose for a more
| leisurely occasion.

The prospector digs among the rocks
and washes the sand in search of gold,
yalue has rewarded his efforts, buoys his
courage with dreams of the glittering
nuggets which the shovel of to-morrow
will bring to the surface. The miner’s
to-morrow may serve some useful pur-
pose and cheer his heart, but the busi-
ness man who puts off the present duty
will never find a to-morrow to which he
ean intrust the demands of to-day.

News from the Metropolis---Index of
the Markets.
Special Correspondence.
New York, Dec. 2—We are entering
the last month of a year the departure of
which no business man will regret. It
has been full of disappointments and,
although a revival of confidence has been
predicted for so long, the fact remains
that the present volume of trade does
not justify the assertions made a month
agoormore. The charitable associations
are crowded with applicants for relief,
and mendicants are more numerous than
ever.
These are rather gloomy views, to be
sure; but, when the situation of business
during the past summer is remembered,
it will be seen that it is very hard to find
a ray of cheerfulness. The strike onthe
Lehigh road came at an unfortunate
time, and the strikers, who seemed to
have justice on their side, seem now to
be forfeiting the good opinion of the
people by resorting to violence. This
strike, and the stopping of hat factories
at Danbury, are two disquieting elements.
They affect many consumers and, in turn,
the retailers, jobbers and manufacturers.
The sugar market remains steady and
prices are unchanged. With prospects
of an oversupply in Europe, there seems
no reasonable chance of any advance; in
fact. it is predicted that the consumer
will buy granulated sugar before next
summer for 4 cents a pound. Indeed, it
is now retailing here at the rate of 16
eents for 314 pounds.
Coffee excites no attention and the buy-
ing is of amoderate, everyday character.
For Rio No. 7, 173¢e prevails. For mild
coffees—Mochas, Javas, Mexicans, etc.—
the inquiry is about of an average char-
acter. Affairs in Brazil are watched with
eagerness, but the supply of coffee in
Europe is so large that no great change
is looked for, whichever side wins.
Dullest of all things are canned goods.
The big dry goods stores which have
grocery annexes are advertising special
bargains in ‘‘tinned’’ goods, and they
offer well-known brands at almost job-
bing prices. In the whole line there is
nothing which brokers handle which at-
tracts more than passing notice. Toma-
toes are said to be doing very well in
Baltimore, and no fears are felt about
the supply beinginsufficient. California
canned goods are meeting with some
favor for holiday goods.
Lemons are in ample supply, but are
selling indifferently. They are worth
$3.25@4.50 per box, with some fancy
Serrentos selling as high as $6@7 per
box of 300. Florida oranges have the
eall, and have driven the foreign out.
Bananas are moving slowly at from
$1@1.25 per bunch.
Butter does not reach the 30c mark
and the finest Western is selling at about
26ce. Cheese is moderately active at 10@
12¢, as to size and quality. Eggs are
selling well, fresh arrivals bringing 25@
27c. ‘‘A dozen of eggs for a pound of
butter” now is the rule.
Rice, molasses and syrups are all sell-
ing at a slow rate. New Orleans mo-
lasses, 33@40c; Porto Rico, 23@30c;
sugar syrups, good to choice, 17@22c.
The meeting of Congress is awaited
with a good deal of interest and discus-
sions over the tariff wax hot and heavy.
Government reports of the wheat sup-
ply are being severely criticised and it is
felt that they are about as inaccurate as
can be; in fact, worse than none.
Returns made to raisers of poultry
must show about the most unsatisfactory
returns imaginable. Good turkeys have
retailed at 12}¢c a pound. Where the
profit is at such prices no one can tell.
The supply was tremendous, and buyers
had it all their own way.
The number of pilgrims going home to
Thanksgiving was remarkably small.
The financial stringency is felt all
around, although 45,000 people went to
see the football game and the theaters
are well patronized.
No statement of the affairs of the
Thurber, Whyland Co. has yet been
made, although itis promised within a
few days. It is said that Mr. Thurber
feels greatly encouraged over the pre-
liminary figures, and everybody hopes
he may soon be ‘‘on top’’ again. Jay.

The Saginaw Fishing Season.
Sacinaw, Dec. 1—The fishing season
is about finished in Saginaw Bay. The
eatch has proved exceptionally large and
is considered more profitable than the
season of 1892. There is plenty of fish
in the market, and since Sept. 15, 30,000
packages of 100 pounds each of herring
have been salted down and shipped from
the valley. The floating ice which is
driven by the wind cuts the nets, other-
wise the fishing season would continue
longer. As soon as the bay freezes over,
the ice as far as Tawas City will be dot-
ted over with about 300 fishing shanties,
each with two occupants, and the work
of catching the finny tribe through holes
in the crystal surface will continue until
the ice breaks up in the spring.

Reduction in the Price of Bread.
Detroit, Nov. 29—The Master Bakers’
Association held a meeting last night at
the Russell House, at which the price of
bread was discussed. At the conclusion
of the discussion, it was decided, in view
of the low price of flour and other arti-
cles used in the manufacture of bread,
to reduce the price as follows: For two-
pound loaves, heretofore sold at eight
cents retail, now seven cents; for one-
pound loaves, heretofore sold at five
cents, at four cents; Vienna bread to re-
main the same, at five cents per pound
loaf. This action was taken as a result
of thorough understanding among those
comprising the Association.
