The original idea of a fast freight line was that of a corporation technically, if not actually, distinct from the railroad company or companies over whose tracks its ears ran. The fast freight line corporation owned its own ears and kept close watch on their movements. They‘were supposed to be de- voted wholly to through business and not to be liable to indefinite detention by foreign roads that were improvidently short of cars. The billing of freight carried in these cars was through billing, and goods were not subject to delay at junction points. A pro- per tracing form was devised and used. to show how the freight*was traveling and to locate responsibility as between the different companies over whose roads the cars of the fast freight line ran. So far as the shipper was concerned he gave his business to the fast freight line in return for a contracted speedy transit of his freight. It cost him no more than if he simply delivered it at the receiving depot of the initial line and trusted to luek in all matters relating to the handling of his freight after the initial line had made the customary delivery to its connection. In course of time, however, ausage was generally established among merchants of shipping high class freight, or freight liable to damage or depreciation by delay, as line freight. Shippers have al- ways been partial to the fast freight sys- tem. But, as regards the railroad corporation over whose rails the line ears ran, things were a little different. The crowning beauty of the new theory of transportation was rep- resented by a fast freight line corporation whose proprietors and managers were more or less managers, if not proprietors of the roads that constituted the route of the line. Under this regime it was possible for a fast freight line to make money, while the road over which its ears ran was_ practically bankrupting itself to enrich an adventitious sucker that could not exist without the rail- road’s support. To state the point very plainly, it was then not considered improper that A, Band C, being officers and stock- holders of the Poverty Flat railroad, which in connection with the Sandy Desert road formed the line between Farmersville and Golden City, to form a fast freight corpora- tion which should operate over these two roads and secure the bulk of the high class freight requiring to be transported between Farmersville and Golden City. Under favor- able circumstances the fast freight line would be able to pay rieh dividends out of money really earned by the struggling corporations over Which its business was carried. The temptation constantly before the officers of railroads who were personally interested in fast freight lines was, naturally enough, to throw all the business they could to the fast freight line, when much, if not all of it, might have been carried by the railroad en- tirely for its own account. Where this temptation was yielded to, the stockholders of the railroad whistled for dividends while fast freight line shareholders grew relatively rich. As railroad managers became educat- ed to the finer points of their profession they gradually came to see that conditions were changing, and so changed some mat- ters in which fast freight lines had long had too absolute sway. They looked forward to a time when every railroad should. be its own fast freight line. The rapid transit companies had been paid large sums for cominissions, salaries and other expenses, and this money the prudent railroad mana- ger desired to save for the stockholders. in the corporation which paid for his services. The expenses of fast freight lines were of two kinds. Lines which were represented by corporations entirely separate from the railroads and owned their own cars exacted a commission on all business delivered to the railroad in their cars, and paid all expenses of managers and soliciting agents’ salaries and offiee rent and dividends out of this The Merchants’ Despatch and Empire lines, the only remaining proprie- tary lines, continue to conduct business in this way to this day. The freight is billed at the regular through rate and the commis- sion deducted as an arbitary, the roads in the line prorating the remainder. Co-operative lines worked on a different basis. Three or four roads came together and formed a fast freight line. Each road furnished its proper quota of Which were distinctively painted and lettered. Re- ceipts and expenses were prorated according to mileage or tonnage as_ the case might be. The auditors of the roads interested, aided by the separate auditor of the fast freight line, settled accounts once a month. Mile- age on4ine cars was accurately recorded and industriously exacted in all cases. Some- times two or three fast freight lines were operating over the same road. To each of them the railroad company contributed its share of expenses for office rent and solicit- ing agents’ salaries. Inasmuch as every railroad company has its own freight con- tracting agent at each terminus it often hap- pened that the regular agent and the fast freight line agent would be working for the same lot of freight—a clear surplusage of the services of one able-bodied railroad man. comission. "ars, n Trades GRAND RAPIDS. MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1885. — When two or three line agents were eaci working for freight which in any event must | go over a certain initial railroad the situa- | | tion in point of want of economy became still aggravated. Sometimes rates were cut and oeeasionally the road would kick but not often. Line agents have been more punished for eutting rates, but these inci- | traffic | dents are among the curiosities of management and not every-day big-letter facts. : Yhe newer idea of railroading abolish commissions whereyer practicable. Freight privileges were no longer farmed out, and salaries were substituted for com- missions. There was gradually erystalliz- ing an idea which, briefly and tersely for- mulated, was: ‘*The fast freight line must was to go.” Roads as distant in interest as the Pennsylvania and the Burlington were marked with equal sagacity of management in this particular. The latter ceased to have any actual interest in fast freight lines other than its own fast freight trains. The for- mer wiped out the stock of the Star Union, and made it little or nothing more thana specialized branch of the Pennsylvania’s business. High-class freight went by fast trains, but the railroad company which hauled it absorbed all the profits. Extran- eous corporations were left out in the cold. One improvement after another was made in the way of handling freight till there were but few advantages left for the fast freight line to boast of as against a reliable railroad which could issue through bills of lading and punch the ears along all the way from starting place to destination. As far as speed was concerned the word “fast freight” became a misnomer: Plenty of other freight moved equally as fast. De- lays at junctions were obviated by special instructions and allowing the first way bill to accompany the freight. In the olden days when they came to a ‘‘four-track,” Empire fast freight trains waited but ten minutes for second-class passenger trains and then took the right of way. The en- gineer or conductor of an Empire fast freight had to get through on schedule time or show uncommonly good cause for delay, or else be promoted to a coal train or some other less arduous place. The time made by the fast freight lines of other days is beaten every day in the week by the quick freight trains of to-day: It used to be an argument in favor of fast freight lines that slow fitight whieh laid over at junction points was likély to be robbed by yard thieves, but now every road has its own secret service and depredations of this kind are comparatively few and far between. As to billing, the advantages of a fast freight ime are not what they once were. Any road to-day will issue its through bill of lading. Sometimes a shipper will prefer a line bill toa regular railroad’s cause of some fancied superior responsibil- ity for delay or loss or damage, but the oc- easions justifying this belief are relatively rare. In the matter of keeping track of the freight in transit many railroads offer facil- ities equal to those of the fast freight lines. Line freight is reported by tracer, forward- ed by mail. If cars are traced by wire the railroad company does it and pays for it, and doesn’t get any credit for it with the shipper. When a railroad undertakes to puneh up freight by wire it generally suc- ceeds in making good time. But the whole question at last becomes one of economy. Where a fast-freight line op- erates over a road the services of two sets of men are required. The line office does billing that the railroad clerks might do. The line agent solicits freight that the rail- road’s contracting agent could just as well get. The line agent cannot guarantee immu- nity from over charges or promise unusual expedition in settlement of claims for loss or damage. Moreover, there are restrictions placed on the use of line cars, which largely issue be- increase a mileage account. For these reasons, railroad after railroad has abandoned the fast freight line system. It has had its day and economy demands its substitution by other methods. The Wa- bash has recently lopped off all the fast freight lines operating over its tracks, and has reduced its contributions for salaries of soliciting agents, office expenses and iile- age very considerably, while slippers thus far have not been heard tocomplain. There is plenty of fast freight west of the Mississ- ippi, but practically no fast freight lines, and yet the western shipper is about as well pleased as the west bound shipper from New York. It is not only that the fast freight lines must go—a great many of them have gone. The indications are that before a great while the days of all fast lines will be num- bered. In their stead will come a system- atie and simple plan of through billing over all the roads, while each road will hustle high-class freights along its track as quickly as it can. Consolidations have made our railroad systems longer and fewer in num- ber, and through billing means more than it used to. Perhaps transfer companies will never achieve quite as much celerity as some other corporate bodies, but there is hope even in this direction. In the matter of time the western lines are already setting a. good example. Cars are carded and freight billed so that certain trains carry the quick | freight, and as many sections are runas o What for time in one way, others have done for necessary. some roads have systematie hurrying of freight a manifest system. graph code all ears are reported at time of arriving and leaving division points by wire by means of to the office of the master of transportation. | Tf an By tl any particular car is merely fast freight but it quickens the move- ment of all freight and increases the amount y ear is delayed the reason is stated. iis means it is possible to tell where located. of serviee that can be gotten out of a given | | 1 The only other thing that! number of ears. is necessary to quicken freight time is to re- arrange tracks at junction points so as to admit of rapid transfer.

An average day’s work for a brick-layer is 1,500 bricks on outside and inside walls; on facings and angles, and finishing around wood or stone work, not more than half of this number ean be laid. To find the num- ber of bricks ina wall, first determine the number of square feet of surface, and then multiply by 7 for a 4-inch wall, by 14 for an 8-inch wall, by 21 for a 12-inch wall, and by 28 for a 16-inch wall. For staining bricks red, melt one ounce of glue in one gallon of water; add a piece of alum the size of an egg, then one-half pound of Ven- etian red and one pound of Spanish brown. Try the color on the bricks before using, and change to light or dark with the red or brown, using a yellow mineral ror buff. For coloring black, heat asphaltum to a fluid state, and moderately heat true surface bricks and dip them; or make a hot mix- ture of linseed oil and asphalt, heat the bricks, and dip them. ‘Tar and asphalt are also used for the same purpose. It is im- portant that the bricks be sufficiently hot, and be held in the mixture to absorb the eolor to the depth of one-sixteenth of an inch, a The Split Bank Notes. About 2 year ago the secret service detec- tives sueceeded in tnearthing a new form of spurious money. The first specimens were genuine bank notes which had been split in two, and a counterteit-back or face pasted to the good half, as the case might be. The secret service officers have never been able to discover how these notes were split. Cer- tainly the government has no machinery in its possession eapable of performing the work, and up to this day the mysterious process is yet unsolved. The offenders are still at large, and while the officers have suspected many of the older counterfeiters of being the guilty ones, they have never as yet succeeded in getting sufficient proof to warrant arrests. Comparatively few of these spurious notes are in circulation. Occas- ionally one turns up for redemption at the Treasury, but the clew to the maker seems as far off as ever. et AB New Word Coined. “Mamma, what kind of a wagon is that inquired a little girl on west Madison street yesterday. “That’s a street sprinkler, my dear.” Just then then the driver of the wagon turned on the water and the little girl elap- ped her hands in delight, exclaiming: “Oh, mamma, see it sprink!” A retired humorist ventured one day into a mill, and while in an unguarded moment he was perpetrating some of his old and upon an innocent opera- tive, he was drawn into some of the pon- derous gearing and dreadfully crushed.

From the Chicago News. Ella Wheeler used to now, if what is write poetry, but Wheeler Wileox in the papers be really hers, she has credited to Ella left the field of poetry and taken to writing | what would readily be distingwishable as | prose essays if the lines did not begin with capital letters and end with rhyming words. | One of these rhyming compositions floating | | | about the newspaper field under the heading It is not| “The Traveling Man,” isa defense of the | **much-abused, misused” commercial drum- | mer. Here is a sample stanza: First, in a crowded car is he to offer, This traveling man unhonored and unsung— The seat he paid for to some woman young, Or old and wrinkled. He is first to proffer— Something, a trifle from his samples maybe, To please the fancy of the crying baby. The succeeding stanzas picture this trav- eling man lifting windows and pulling down curtains ‘‘for wnaecustomed hands,” offer- ing his sample case to make a bolster for some mamma’s — child, to ev- comfort, turming paying fares for those who have no money, and even, if the peace of some young lady’s soul demands it, flirting with her a little. We have seen this kind of a traveling man, but he is of the sort grouped by the older members of the brotherhood under the looking eryone’s seats significant head of a ‘‘fresh lot.” He is not a characteristic commercial drummer, and when he has been in the business lon- ger he will be a different man. The real, simon-pure traveling man knows the best seat in the car and usually manages to get it. Ifthe chances are that the car will be crowded, he puts his sample-case at one end of the seat and curls himself up in the re- maining portion. Don’t think for a moment he is keeping his eye peeled for an oppor- tunity to jump up and give his seat to some woman. He used to do that when he was new, but now—perhaps because he has learned that traveling women generally have very little appreciation of the sacri- fices made for their ecomfort—he shuts his eyes and pretends to be asleep whenever anybody comes looking for a seat. If he is roused and asked for part of his seat he will —that is, the old experienced drummer will —deelare that he is holding it for a friend. Moreover, the experienced drummer has learned that it doesn’t pay to attend to any- body’s business but his own own. He has had foreed on him the discouraging conelu- sion that if he doesn’t look out for himself nobody else will; so he settles in his seat and shuts himself within ealm, cool, eomfortable—glad always to see ladies get seats, but pretty sure that if he sits still and snoozes somebody else will get up and himself, provide for them. We believe the poetess should stick to her poetry, or, if she must depart from it to sing defenses for anybody, let her choose some beneficiary more in need of popular pity than the traveling man, who, ofall persons, needs it least. oe How Bananas Are Cultivated. A Costa Riea correspondent writes to the Brooklyn Eagle an interesting account of the way in which bananas are cultivated for the United States market. The natives, by the way, think the people of the United States great fools to eat as many bananas as they do,for the fruits of the country which will not survive a sea voyage are so much more delicate and delicious that the banana is given to the swine. Asa general thing banana seedlings are planted about 200 to the acre, which usually produce fruit when two years old. the same root annually; the second year ach shoot bears a single bunch of bananas, and then dies; but others are growing to take its place, and the harvest is continuous 3 each plant yielding four or five bunches a year, ripening at intervals of two or three months. Thus an acre of bananas will pro- duee about 900 bunches annually, which are worth from $250 to $300 according to their quality and the demands of the market. It eosts about $20 an acre to clear and plant the ground, and about the same amount an- nually to keep the plantation in order and gather the harvest. Every eight or ten years the trees have to be renewed. The natives to the contrary notwithstanding, bananas are justly regarded as a very delic- ious, nutritious food. They come in, more- over, at all times and can be served in many ways ; they are palatable cooked in fritters ; make an excellent desert eaten with cream ; and perhaps taste best when bought on the streets or in the cars, and eaten without any style.

At the adjourned meeting of the Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society, heldat Tire TRADESMAN office on the 9th, the follow- ing druggists were in attendance: Presi- dent Wurzburg, Secretary Escott, J. D. Lacey, J. I. Zerkle, M. B. Kimm, O. H. tichmond, H. E. Locher, Will LL. White, J. W. Hayward, John E. Peck, A. Sanford and W. H. Knight. President Wurzburg stated that the main object of the meeting was to consider the bill recently introduced in the House of Repre- sentatives by Mr. Parkhurst and recom- mended by the Committee on Liquor Traffic. All present condemned the measure as Un- just and partial to the liquor dealer, and on motion the President appointed a committee to draft resolutions embodying the sense of the Society, composed of the following members: F. H. Escott, Wm. L. White, O. H. Richmond, J. D. Lacey. and J. W. Hayward. The committee subsequently presented the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: WirerEeAS—A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives, at Lansing, entitled ‘‘A bill to prevent persons selling drugs, from selling liquors as a_ beverage”; and WueEREAS—The title of the same is in- tended to mislead the publie by conveying the impression that the druggists of Michi- gan are engaged in selling liquors as a bey- erage; and Whuerreas—tThe provisions of said bill are impracticable and impossible to carry out; and Wierreas—lf said bill should become a law, it would work great injury to persons legitimately engaged in the drug trade and in the majority of cases prevent the public from obtaining liquors of any class for medicinal, sacramental, or mechanieal pur- poses; and Wiereas—The present laws in such cases provided are amply sufficient to pre- vent the sale of liquors as a beverage, by druggists; now therefore be it Resolved—That we most respectfully re- quest our representatives at Lansing to use their utmost endeavors to defeat the pass- age of said bill. The same committee also presented the fol- lowing resolution, which was also unani- mously adopted: Resolved—That the sincere thanks of this Society are due to the Hon. M. H. Ford for his energetic and able advocacy of the Phar- macy Bill, recently passed by the Legisla- ture of Michigan. Secretary Escott then requested President Wurzburg to call one of the other members to the chair, when he offered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted: Resolved—That the Grand Rapids Phar- maceutical Society request the executive committee of the Michigan State Pharma- ceutical Association to present the name of Frank J. Wurzburg as one of the candi- dates for appointment to the State Board of Pharmacy; and that His Excellency, Gov- ernor Alger, be earnestly requested to con- sider the same favorably. The Society then adjourned, to meet again on Thursday evening, July 9. —_-_ >_< The manufacture of oil from the castor bean is a budding industry in Arizona, es- pecially at Tucson.

    -6 > — The Donkey that Wouldn’t Bray. From the Philadelphia Call. Once upon a time, a donkey fell into a deep hole, and, after nearly starving, caught sight of a passing fox, and implored the stranger to help him out. **T am too small to aid you,” said the fox, ‘‘ but I will give you some good advice. Only a few rods away is a big elephant. Call him and he will get you out in a jiffy. ” After the fox had gone, the donkey thus reasoned to himself: Iam very weak from want of nourishment. Every move I make is just so much additional loss of strength. If I raise my voice to call the elephant, I shall be weaker yet. No, I will not waste my substance in that way. It is the duty of the elephant to come without calling. So the donkey settled himself back, eventually starved to death. Long afterward, the fox, on passing the hole, saw within it a whitening skeleton, and remarked, ‘‘If it be true that the souls of animals are transinigrated into men, that donkey will become one of those merchants who can never afford to advertise. rr German mills supply nearly all the Lon- don dailies with print paper. and WHOLESALE PRICE CURRENT. “ WIDE BROWN COTTONS.

Lansing. June i5—It occurs to me to-day that perhaps your readers—the druggists especially—would like to know something about the influences which were brought to bear on the Governor in relation to the appointment of the members of the Board of Pharmacy. When the bill first passed, Governor Alger intended to give Grand Rapids a place on the Board, and so expressed himself to several citizens of the Valley City. Indeed, he went so far as to ask Major A. B. Watson, who is understood to have been the Governor’s right-hand man and confidential adviser in Western Michigan, to look over the | field and send in the name of a suitable person for appointment to the Board. The Major ealled on the leading druggists of your city, stating the trust reposed in him by the Goy- | ernor, and inquiring as to the most available | man for the position. All but Geo. G. Steketee heartily recommended Frank Wurzburg, and in the meantime THE TRADESMAN came out with an article nominating the same gentle- man, and the Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society cordially seconded the nomination. Acting on these expressions of opinion, Major Watson sent in Mr. Wurzburg’s name, expect- ing that his appointment would necessarily Instead, however, the Governor chose ' Major Watson has written the Governor a sharp letter, stating that he has not improved his prospects for a second term, by the exer- cise of duplicity, thus placing Mr. Watson in an embarrassing position before his towns- men. Mr. Watson fecls worse about the mat- ‘ter than Mr. Wurzburg, as the latter gentle- man was made a candidate without his knowl- edge and all the work in his behalf was done by friends, without any expressed wish from | him. Mr. Wurzburg would probably have received | the appointment, however, if it had not been i for Jacob Jesson, of Muskegon, who entered the field early in the day, and was backed by Messrs. Moon, Wilson, Edwards and Wells, all of whom called upon the Governor in his be- half. At first, the Governor refused to listen to the entreaties of the Muskegon delegation, as he said he had already decided to give Grand Rapids a place on the Board, and he could not give two places to your side of the State. (And yet he has given Detroit and Ann Arbor each a representative, and Muskegon is farther from Grand Rapids than Ann Arbor is from Detroit—poor logic, that! But the Mus- kegon people put their demand s0 forcibly, and Jesson’s services to the drug trade were so apparent, that the Governor yielded. I am told by one of the Governor's friends that a position on the Board was offered H. H. Stafford, of Marquette, but that he declined the honor. Frank Wells, who worked like a tiger for the passage of the bill, could also have had a place if he wanted it, but he also declined. In a general way, I think that the present Legislature has effected more wholesome leg- islation for the business men of the State than any other session in my remembrance. —~<~ -3- -0 <> “A Rakish Lad.” From the Chicago Herald. working A middle-aged, euterprising-looking pas- | senger said he was a lawyer in a Wisconsin town, and the handsome, dashing young man who flirted with a pretty girl in the) front end of the car was his son. son a lawyer, too?” ‘‘No; he never comes } “Ts your | near the office.

With the object of producing manganese | copper in a readier and less expensive way | than at present, pure copper is melted in a] eruecible with ferro-manganese containing a| large percentage of manganese, and in the presence of silicium. When pouring out in- to ordinary molds, the manganese will be found to have combined with the copper, and the silicium with the iron, the latter | forming alayer upon the manganese copper. The greater the amount of the silicium pres- ent the more perfect is the separation, though even so small a quantity as 1 per cent. of silicium as compared with the man- ganese present suffices for the desired effect. In some cases the ferro-manganese contains in itself sufficient quantity of silicium to produce the necessary reaction upon the iron so as to set the manganese free to combine with the copper.

We may prepare to hear the newspaper wit remark how Cupid has spik- ed a Kannon, and how the brave Maria stands by her Gunn, and how Gunn has gone off with Maria, and how Maria may bust her gun before the ice cream season is over, and how Walter’s Kannon uses a heap of powder, and how her old Gunn’s a smooth “bore,” and how a new lot of Gunn carriages will be in demand, and how Gunn comes home from the parade loaded to the muzzle and shoots off his mouth, and how his Kan- non kicks and throws canister, and how she fires her Gunn, and how her bawl breaks him up, and how the unlimbered Gunn makes a startling report of it, and how— well, the paragraph will go booming along indefinitely in style, as sure as a gun’s iron. —Fumny Oil Region Paper. Oil of peppermint is a favorite article of speculation in Wayne county, N. Y., where’ the plant is largely grown, and a recent and unusual shrinkage in price has filled many people with alarm. A few weeks ago the price was $4.65 and $4.85 a pound, and now itis only $3.50 and $3.60. Scores of people in the county purchased large quan- tities of the oil as a speculation, expect ing a rise to $8 or $10 a pound.

The Association has been instrumental in getting this act passed, and although great efforts were made by some members of the Legislature to kill the bill by obnoxious amendments, they failed in their efforts to do so; and as compared with other state acts of the same kind, ours is the best passed by any Legislature so far. The committee on the Pharmacy Bill, consisting of Geo. MeDonald, of ixalaimnazoo, H. J. Brown, of Ann Arbor, F. M.

It will also give the’druggists a cer- tain amount of professional standing and virtually relieve them from jury duty.

Association JACOB JESSON, Secretary Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association , Muskegon, Mich. A Strange, Weird Story, Hard to Believe. From the Evansville Argus. “Grip” comes to us this week with a strange, weird story. It tells of a traveling man who was fleeing from the cholera. It eaught him just before he got to a cosy -cot- tage, in which lived a beautiful and robust girl. Her parents were away and the neighbors were all sick, but when she found the tray- eler ina dead faint at the door, she took him in, put him to bed and nursed him. He grew rapidly worse, and at the end of the second day had given up all hope. That night a fearful storm came up and blew off the roof of his room, and a drenching rain poured on him for two hours. After it was over the girl eame in, and then to save his life, him in her arms to her own room, put him in her bed, and then got in and held him for five hours her warm body and saved him. Tt is a beautiful story, one of the best we ever read, and we only wish we could be- The hero of the story married the eirl; that was right. If he hadnt married her we never would have forgiven him on earth. Still, we can’t exactly swallow it, for her room was next to his, and how could his roof blow off and hers still be left in- tact? Wonder if he only dreamt he had the cholera; or maybe he dreamed the whole thing. Anyhow, if it was a dream, it was a good one. If he was a married man and the baby crawled down and laid up aginst the pit of his stomach, we don’t wonder that he dreamt that the girl held him five hours. Most men would dream that a red hot grindstone had fallen across them. We don’t know what to make of this affair, and the more we think of it the harder it grows. “qx »>-o<2__—_—_ There are only 208 distinet characters in the Abyssinian alphabet. took close to HARDWOOD LUMBER.

Canr Hook CorneERs, June 12, 1885. Mister Editer of Traidesman. My law case is still pending. We got an adjournment of one week to allow time for defense to procure witnesses and file an af- fidavit for change of venue. There is not much other excitement going on at the Corners except the organizing of a new society here which is called the ‘*Uni- versal Regulating Society.” The association has a great work to perform and an im- mence field. The object of it is fo get laws passed by our legislators to regulate every- body according to our ideas of what they ought to do. Wimmen, especially, need reg- ulatin, and they have been neglected in that respect too long along already, as I told Sis- ter Biglow yesterday, when she came in to get a bottle of morphine, a half pound of tea and some Macaboy snuff. She was going next day to tend a meeting of wimmin which she belongs to, she said, and tha they also had a big work to perform. Said she: ‘‘Bro. Snooks, you would hard- ly believe it, but only last week a high-ton- ed, well-dressed man, which we think wasa a drummer from Detroit, went into A. T. Quartzes drug store and had some brandy mixed up with some peppermint and lod- num and actually took it right thar. Did you ever see such bare-faced work?” “No, Tam dumed if I ever did, Sister Biglow,” says I. ‘‘But there is a saloon right there near that drug store. Why dident the drummer go there for his drink?” “Oh, that is plain to see. He was one of these high-toned fellers; said he never went into saloons: claimed he had a pain in his stomimie, and all that. We found it all out, too, I tell you. We ped a spy in there that saw the whole affair.’ “Ttis awful!” “Now, how much better it wood be, Sister Biglow, to havea law to make that chap go to a saloon. The beauty of it is, that in such a case he would probably meet some of his friends or ac- quaintances in thar and have to treat ’em, and then they wood treat, so the result wood be that instead of this drummer leaving only says I. I asked fora law to prevent wimmin from as strong téa, to the manifest injury of themselves and the human race. Miss Sister Spilkins wanted a law to pro- ‘hibit widows from getting, married again, ‘as there was only one man for each woman any how. There was other resolutions offered,’ but these are the principal ones. We referred them all to the committy of the hole, which sets at the next meeting, and when the res- olutions come up for the action of that august body, you bet the fir will fly. We believe in liberty and human rights— that is, that folks shall have the liberty to do as we think they ought to do, and the right to think as we do. I don’t suppose you have any such folks and societies in your city, Mr. Editor. No, they exist only in small places. You don’t have any wimimen folks in your city that /spend their time attending to every one’s bizness except their own. No, you do not, I kno, and right thar is where you get left by not living in a nice little place like Cant Hook Corners. Yours for organization and regulation, SoOLIMAN SNOOKS, G. D., J. P. and P. M. —_+_<._2<>____— Mr. Bilson Discourses on Certain Abuses. Canr Hook CorNERS, JUNE 12,1885. Editor of THE TRADESMAN: Well, the excitement over my encounter with Snooks has pretty much all died out, and the townfolks who gather in my store eyenings have begun talking about other matters. One of the principle subjects of of conversation is the new society lately started here for the regulation of abuses. I supposed that the people of Grand Rapids are considerably annoyed by the Salvation Army and the numerous street peddlers whom your weak-kneed mayor allows to perambulate your thoroughfares, but they are nothing compared to the numerous nuis- anees which exist in a small town like the Corners. One of the worst features of vil- lage life is the gossiping tendency of old women who seem to delight in expanding aiole hillinto a mountain, thus keeping the community ina continual uproar. An- other evil is the local jealousy which pre- vents one person from dressing better or living in a better house than another, with- out exciting comment. One side of the town is jealous of the other side, and soon. I sometimes think that the cities attract all the men and women of brains, and that the small places catch all the inferior order of beings. Perhaps this statement is too in- clusive—I should dislike to believe that I belonged to the inferior class, in fact—but the men who build cities and accumulate great fortunes are certainly superior to the average villager. I see that the traveling men are going to march in the procession on the Fourth at your place. J éxpect to be in Grand Rapids at that time, and shall enjoy nothing better than seeing the familiar faces of the jolly boys who have visited me with greater or less regularity during the past dozen years. If the committee would allow it, I should like to walk with the boys, carrying a cant hook, indicating the town in which IL have the honor to reside. Yours truly, PHILANDER BILSON. i Try the Crescent Mills ‘All Wheat” made by an entirely new process.

Snooks, what ahead you have got. We have never once looked at it from that standpoint. I must make a note of that and mention it to our Union, as showing the damage to trade by druggists selling liquor.” Vell, is there anything Sister Biglow?” “Oh, yes} I have walked so tar this morn- ing, that I have a terrible pain in my side. I guess you may fix me up a dose of vale rian and lodnum, Bro. Snooks; and you may put in about an ounce of alkahol, just to warm it up—dont put in any kind of intox- cating likers, tho; I never tech them on no account.” I did not tell the good that the dose I fixed contained more strength than to say nothin of For what trade by more in my line, too, wolnan any two drinks of brandy, fuzil oil] enough to kill a eat. of hurting my a good customer? would be the use driving away But I was going to tell you about our so- | i ciety. After we was duly organized, we be- gan to get up our platform and the trouble commensed to begin. You see, Mr. Editor, every one of us wanted to reaalake the oth- ers. and not to be regulated ourselves. Sister Hobson made a motion that shood be prohibited from smoking and chew- men | ing tobaco. Then Bro. Wilkins shood be appinted by the State to see that wimmin shood not wear corsets except when ordered by a (male) physician. Doctor Trotter wanted a plank as follows: Wuereas—In the opinion of a large number of Homopathic physicians and many other people, drugs and medicines are del- eterious to the human race; therefore be it Resolwed—That the use ‘and sale of all kinds of medicines be prohibited, except sugar pellets and Homopathic atteyuations. 3r0. Isaac Goldstein moved that a plank be inserted to prohibit the use of pork and lard. Bro. Dr. Kobb moved the adoption of a | plank to prohibit people from dectoring | themselves; or emploping anyone except a | regular Alopathic doctor. | Bro.

COLD STORAGE WONDERFUL RECORD OF THE SHOLVUIOdsad $,di00dd GRAND Raping REFRIGERATOR Co.'s No. 61. - Size 7 eel hig’ oh, 7 feet front, 3 feet 4 inches deep. Into one of these refrigerators "730 ibs. of Ice was put on Friday, May 29, 1885. The ‘thermometer soon registered 400 P brent only 8 degrees above freezing point. The ice remained in the refrigerator 7 days. It was frequently opened, and as the ice melted the thermometer gradually rose to 480 at the end of the week. The ice was taken out and carefully weighed. There were 325 pounds of ice re- maining, showing an average consumption of ONLY S&S POUNDS PER DAY for this Mammoth Reiriger- ator. The wails of the Refrigerator were perfectly dry, showing that fruit may be kept an indefinite time free from mold. These Refrigerators are also excellent for Butter, as the wooden walls are “Pargetized” by a preparation which takes away even the flavor of wood. Hote! keepers would find this a most excellent Refrigerator for their use. Sev- eral sizes are made. Grocers need no longer sell strong But- ter, rotten eggs, or decayed fruit as these Refrigerators are large enough to hold an entire stock.
