The corner grocer was half asleep in his | floor, when the | chair in the middle of the door opened and a man attired in a plug hat and a diamond pin entered. The merechant-supposed,the new comer to be a customer and stepped behind the coun- ter. Butacustomer would have dropped into a chair and begun talking about the weather. This man hoisted a new pair of lavender pants to a clean spot on the coun-- ter, took a book and a map of the county from his pocket and began to talk as though he had just been wound up and meant to run down before he could be kicked out of the place. And the merchant stood there behind the counter and listened until the floor seemed bobbing up to meet the ceiling and the: air began to look blue. Then he sat down and listened until the landscape seen through the narrow window began to evince symp- toms of the jim-jams and the boys playing at marbles out on the green seemed to be valking about on their Then he leaned his head against a friendly chest of young hyson and closed his eyes. The man kept right on talking. He was president, treasurer, secretary, board of directors and advance agent of an Advertising Snap, and was out doing mis- sionary work among the country merchants. The Snap unfolded itself like a panorama of Milwaukee harbor in July, with every prospect pleasing and large glasses of beer two for five cents. It was a fortune in itself and only very few would be let in on the ground floor. ‘‘Hundred page book on county matters. Ten thousand edition Only few ads. taken. Never have another chanee like it. Perpetual advertisement.” A little girl came in to exchange ten cents worth of postage stamps for kerosene oil, and the plug hat and diamond pin sat down ina chair to regain its breath. While the merchant was drawing the ker- osene he remembered where he had met the Advertising Snap before. Jt was such an old acquaintance that he would have shaken hands withit only for its disreputable habits. It had followed him from state to state for years and made life a burden to him. Wher- ever he had located in business there some chap in lavender pants anda plug hat had crept in with this old Advertising Snap that had limped out of the ark on crutches and had been growing more useless and more bald headed and brazen faced ever since. heads. more “Yes, yes,” said the merchant wiping his hands on a bit of wrapping paper, ‘‘I know all about you scheme. You put every ad- vertisement in this book at the top of the column and next to pure reading matter.” The plug hat said that the merchant had hit the strong point of the scheme. He had been in the business long enough to know what merehants wanted and he had erected the scheme with special reference to their wants. ‘Then you put each advertiser’s larger type than his rivals and special mention in the index raphy of noted men.” The plug hat. observed that he made such pledges only when he ran across a real live merchant who knew his business and insisted on these things as extras. Of course, if he insisted ——— “T knew I couldn’t be mistaken,” broke in the grocer, applying his handkerchief to his eyes. ‘‘Excuse this emotion, but this re- minds me of my childhood’s days.” The plug hat began to look a little flur- ried. Heran his hands through his hair, drew his gloves through his hands and looked as though he would like a little dif- ferent customer to work on. “You see,” said the grocer, in a moment, “its the same old Snap they used to run in on the old man who kept the corner store and traded marbles for eggs of the vintage of 1812 in far-off New England. I never expected to meet it away out here in Michi- pan? The plug hat watched the yellow sunlight resting fair and sweet over the level land- scape beyond the village street and observed that it was about time for the fish to com- mence biting. “There was a sort of a strawberry mark on the hind foot of this old New England Snap,” the grocer continued, ignoring the attempt on the part of the plug hat to change the subject; ‘‘let me see if I can remember what it was. You have another man come around in about six weeks and collect the advertising contracts on the delivery ofa book to each advertiser, don’t you? Yes? I thought so. That’s the on the hind foot. Oh, yes, and the adver- tisers pay their money and the ten thousand books printed expressly for this county will be along ina few days? That’s it. They always come along in a few days.” “T’}] tell you what,” added the grocer, growing confidential, ‘‘in my hot youth, ‘way back in-the 40’s, I went into this Snap one warm day when there wasn’t much doing in the way of business, and for days and weeks after that I sat watching the card in give him and the biog- strawberry mark - waiting for the man to come with those books. They’re somewhere on the road yet. They must be, for they never got to destination.” The plug hat putup his ‘‘dummy,” bought a cigar and insisted on the grocer’s taking one. “You see,” resumed the grocer as they sat smoking together under the wooden awning in front, ‘‘I didn’t care so much about the books not coming, because there were to be a hundred pages in it, and the chances were a hundred to one every time it was opened that the opener wouldn’t see my advertisement. I thought of that after I gave the man my order, and if the books had ever shown up, I should have had to hire aman by the month to drive around the county and show the people where my ad. was and explain it to them. No, I didn’t eare so much about the books never coming, but I did feel like kicking myself all over a forty acre lot every time I thought how I had been done up ona scheme I had been warned against in my eradle. If it had been something new, now——” The grocer smoked the remainder cigar in silence. The plug hatand ea pin had f his vanished. Good Advice from a Humorist. To young men Bob Burdette says: “You take a basin of water, place your finger in it for twenty-five or thirty seconds, take it out and look at the hole that is left. The size of that hole represents about the impression that adviee makes on a young man’s mind. “Don’t depend too much on your family —the dead part I mean. The world wants live men; it has no use for dead ones. Queen Victoria can trace her ancestors back ina direct line to William the Conqueror.

There are many manufacturers of boots and shoes who transact a large business with jobbers, with whom they have never had a personal acquaintance. The sales- men by whom the negotiations are conduct- ed are the only persons known to the buy- ers, There is no friendship in trade, ac- cording to the adage, but these gentlemen who travel and sell goods manage to keep on such agreeable terms with the parties they deal with, that they command the pre- ference when there are stocks to be replen- ished. A salesman must be an agreeable gentleman; he wouldn’t secure much trade unless he was. He establishes relations with numerous customers all ever the Un- ion, and when their trade is once secured, it isn’t easy to get them away from him. But no cross-grained fellow would do for a tray- eling salesman. =< A Misunderstanding. From London Punch.

It is imported in pretty large quantities from Egypt to Greece, where it is eut into small bits and sold almost as soap in cakes is sold. A small quantity is said to be sufficient for washing a whole dress, whether silk or woolen. their | | { . . | | winding stage road over the hazy hills and | Buckwheat Cakes in Summer.

The straw was then forked off and the grain swept into piles. When the wind was blowing briskly the grain was thrown into the air with shovels, so that the chaff could be blown away, and then the)! grain was ground between the old-fashioned millstones. The bran was separated from the meal by sifting with a wire bottomed The first improvement was made when a silk bolting reed was substituted for a wire cloth After a great many years an old York State miller concluded that the meal would have shuck or bran in it 1f the could be removed | from the berry before it the year, | of buck- | sieve. sieve. less shuck ground. To} do that he run the grain through a series of corrugated simply cracked open the shuck and allowed the kernel to drop out. The icken shucks and kernels were separted by screens, and thereafter buckwheat flour was about as white as any other. The demand for it increased rapidly, but it was not quite perfect, because the fine fuzz and dirt adhering to the outside of the berry fell through the screen with the kernels after the shuck had been broken | open by the rollers of the shucker. To get | rid of this it was necesssary to polish each berry of the grain separately before it was shueked. 'The machine for doing this has just been put on the market. It consists of ‘ast-iron cylinder, say three feet long and one foot in diameter, which revolves w vithin a jacket made of steel wire cloth. The cyl- inder is covered with square knobs a half ineh large, which project within a fraction of an ineh of the jacket. The cylinder is set a whirling at the rate of 750 re volutions | « a minute, and the grain after passing over a | ; the straw out falls down be- tween the jacket and the eylinder. There it goes around and around, knocking against the knobs and the jacket, an upward cur- carrying off dust, until it falls out below as clean as a hound’s tooth. Then it slides over a magnetized plate to re- move any trace of metal before going to the shucker. That makes what we call perfect buckwheat flour. Most millers have had to relearn their trade within the last five years on account of the numerous improve- ments introduced in the processes of manu- facture, but in no branch of the business has the progress of improvement been more marked than in the handling of buck- wheat.” Was | rollers which sereen to get Tent Of air the ~- -O A Soap Mine in Wisconsin. A new industry has lately sprung into ex- istence in Waupaca county, Wis. Near the shores of the Waupaca river, a few miles south of the town of Weyanwega, some men digging a cellar discovered a stratum of a peculiar kind of clayey soil. Some speci- mens of the strange material were thrown out, and a farm house was built over the excavation then made. Later an English laborer at work on the farm belonging to the house found the pile of strange looking soil which had been thrown out, and after examining it, declared it to be a valuable substance for scouring silver and gold ware, such as he had seen dug in a certain part of England. Experiments were at once made, and it was found that the substance would do just what the Englishman claimed, and aman named Seoville purchased the from under which the substance was taken and twenty acres of land surrounding. Seoville interested some Oshkosh capitalists in the matter, and they purchased the right to dig all the material on his land paying Seoville therefor $5,000. They also engaged Scoville to dig and prepare the material and ship it to Oshkosh. In the latter place it is being put up in small packages for polishing purposes, and a soap is being manufactured also with the new ingredient as the chief substance of it. : oe The Worst on Record.

At the late an- nual market of Brunn the prices of cotton cloth and leather showed a great fall on the averages of previous years. ‘The war alarms stopping purchases from Russia and the Danubian principalities may have had some- thing to do with this. But the general stagnation in Austrian commerce cannot be explained wholly by this cause, for it exist- ed throughout the past year, as is shown in the diminished receipts of all the rail- way lines and of the Danube Steamboat Company. house | tatoes are round, | larger the | sold some articles by The coy Side of the Question.

One of the difficulties with which honest manufacturers have to contend is that un- serupulous parties appropriate the and imitate the style of their gcods. A large in the recently declined to place an order with a leading manufacturer of fine goods which retailed at $5 per pair; the reason he assigned was that there were many base imitations on the market in com- petition, and he couldn’t spare the time to explain to his customers (when told him they sore procure the same goods eise- where at $375) what the differance was. He said the imitation had ruined his traffic in that specialty, though the higher cost shoes were much the cheaper. Thus a manufacturer was compelled to see his bus- iness taken from him because consumers eould not distinguish, by their appearance, between the genuine and the counterfeit. Sheep leather can be made to resemble goat, but it is an outrageous offense against mor- ality to call by it anything but its real name. It is equally iniquitous to attempt to pass off a buff, grain or flesh split shoe for a calt- skin; either shoe may be as serviceable and equally good in style, fit, durability and prices, but deception is always impolitic; sooner or later it is sure to be discovered with disastrous consequence to the deceiver. Manufacturers of leather and of shoes ought always to be prompt in exposing the duplic- ity of competitors who palm off a spurious article for genuine. Merchandise should be sold on its merits; dealing will pay best in the long run. ASD The famous Panama hats are all made i Guayaquil, Ecuador, and get their name os sause Panama merchants formerly controll- ed the trade. They are madeof the pita fiber, a sort of palm, and are braided under water by native women, of strands often twelve and fifteen feet long, and fine ones are very expensive. It often takes two or three weeks to braid a single hat, which sells for five or six dollars and lasts forever. A traveler speaks of one made of a single straw or fiber, as fine as thread and soft as silk. The woman who made it was engaged four months in the work, and it was valued at $250. The Wesiern Medical Reporter says that a grocer, wno had an aged and disabled horse, wished to get rid of him by as pain- hame retailer West they square less a death as possible, and gave him forty Having made prepar- ations for the funeral, the grocer proceeded to the siable, where, asionishment, he found the horse in excellent spirits, and eating his oats with his former habitual haste, so as to be ready for the early trip to market.

The article on Stewart Ives, in last week’s TRADESMAN, created something of a sensa- tion in business circles, but the events of the past few days have satisfied even the most skeptical thas THE TRADESMAN’S conclusions were correct. Mr. Ives has been taken to Chicago, to be examined by eminent medical talent, when he will be placed in a private retreat for the insane. His mania has not yet developed into vio- lence, but all his conversation of a business nature is largely inflated. The night pre- vious to his departure for Chicago, he bought about half the State of Michigan of I. M. Weston, giving his paper for the same. The Muskegon News thus refers to recent exhibitions of Ives’ insanity: ‘‘Col. Stew- art Ives told Mr. Barney the other day that if he would pull down the wooden part ot the Occidental and burn it, he would build him a fire-proof brick hotel edifice and it wouldn't cost him acent. The Colonel is evidently a little off in some things. He offered a Whitehall man $6,000 for a horse that would have been dear at a quarter of the money, andehe has made other fabulous offers for horse-flesh in this vicinity.” The Detroit Free came out the morning following Te TRADESMAN’S ap- Press pearance with a special reference to the ini-* tial article, beginning as follows: ‘A great sensation was created here to-day by the publication in Tre MicuiGAn TRADESMAN of an article to the effect that Col. stewart Ives, of this city, one of the most prominent and wealthy lumbermen in Western Michi- gan, had shown unmistakable evidences of insanity, both in the conduct of his business affairs and in his social relations.” >» -a>_—_—_ “The Merry Merchant.” Daily Leader: The collosal brain of Mr. A.

Big Rapids. June 29—J. B. Beaumont has closed his jum- ber business at Lumberton and gone to San Jose, Cal. H. W. Swift, who lately moved his shingle mill from Edmore to Rodney, will open a grocery and provision store at the latter place. The Big Rapids Tub and Pail Factory, which employs sixty-five men, is operating under a contract, the term of which expires in ninety days. Unless prices advance or a new con- tract is made, the factory will then shut down. Early in the week there were numerous in- quiries for THE TRADESMAN from those who wished to learn the facts in the Ives difficulty. Since the appointment of Mr. Mason, as suc- cessor to Stewart Ives, the employees at the mill have received their wages, and all is go- ing well. It is believed here by many that Mr. Ives is insane. Many more, however, claim that his reckless expenditure of money is not evidence of that fact, but merely a character- istic of the man. Kalkaska. June 29—The saw mill of the Smith Lumber Co. burned at 2 o’clock this morning. Loss $8,000; insured for $4,090. The fire originated in the engine room. Shelby. June 29—J. Halstead, wagon maker, who made an assignment last September, has made an arrangement whereby his non-preferred creditors receive 50 cents on the dollar cash. A mortgage is put upon the plant to raise the money, which consists of a wood shop, black- smith shop, engine and boiler and wood work- ing machinery—in ordinary times a valuable piece of property. Mr. Halstead is thus put upon his feet again, and it is hoped his well- known energy Will bring him through his’ troubles all right. The citizens of Shelby will be glad to see the wagon works open again. Sherwood Hall, of your city, gave valuable help in putting the matter in shape. Geo. MeMullin has moved his harness shop across the street from his old place, and has bought the building in which he is doing busi- ness. A. J. Clark has opened a grocery in the old Potter building.

Charley Robinson and Dave Haugh ren- dered themselves liable to a charge of per- sonating an officer one day last week. A couple of Ashton youths attended the circus at Cadillac, and celebrated the event by ab- sorbing rather too much tanglefoot. Robin- son and Haugh struck town about the time the boys returned home, and some of the the practical jokers of Ashton got them to represent themselves as officers. from Cadil- lace and ‘‘arrest” the young men on a trumpted-up charge of disorderly. They carried out the first part of the programme to perfection, but the victims of the joke were so scared that they were allowed to re- gain their liberty after remaining in ‘‘cus- tody” about an hour. If you ever hear of Robinson Haugh being waylaid -up around Ashton, you may know that the young fellows are ‘‘getting back at” the amateur minions of the law. —_—_-—~ 2 <= “Sweet Lotus’ Smoking the rage nowadays, or Tobacco is‘all MISCELLANEOUS.

INEXCUSABLE TAXATION. The Law Relating to Nluminating Oils. The Legislature adjourned without pro- viding for a reduction of the fee for the in- spection of illuminating oils. As a result, the oil dealers of this State will pay this year a useless excess of not less than $5,000 above the cost of running the inspection ser- vice, including the salaries of the State In- spector and deputies. It cost during the year 1884 a total of $17,295.45 to inspect the illuminating oil sold in the State that year. The total number of barrels inspected was 178,581, and the cost of inspection was as nearly as can be conveniently reckoned 102 cents per barrel. At the end of the year the State Inspector turned over to the State Treasurer as excess beyond the expenses of his department the sum of $4,262. In view of this fact, it was recommended by the Inspector in his annual report that the inspection fee be reduced from 13 cents to 11 cents per barrel, which, on the basis of that year’s consumption of oil, would have been entrely sufficient to meet the cost of the service for the year 1885, especially since the regular annual increase of oil used must also increase the sum paid into the State Inspecior’s hands as inspection fees. A bill was offered by Representative Wiggins for the reduction of the fee to 11 cents, as rec- ommended by the State Inspector. But a bill was subsequently introduced in the Sen- ate embracing the House reduction clause, which contained also a clause for a reduc- tion of the test standard. The House bill was discussed and either referred back to its committee or ‘‘shelved,” because the pending Senate bill had incorporated the provision which was the purpose of the House bill. The Senate bill got through its ‘committee, and passed the Senate. The House committee opposed the reduction of the test, and the Legislature adjourned without making a law of the bill. The clause reducing the inspection fee ‘“‘went by the board,” of course, along with the rest of the bill, and the oil ‘dealers of the State must stand the consequences, and still pay 13 cents per barrel inspection fee. There will be fully 200,000 barrels of oil used in Michigan this year, and the dealers will pay a useless tax of at least $5,000, which will go into the already rich treasury at the end fees, above 63. of the year, as surplus inspection f salaries and expenses. —_—_————_—_> a More about Southern Iron. met Mr. Goltstein, the superintendent of the St. Louis Steel Works, the other day,” said John Otis, the Mancelona iron man, last Friday, ‘‘and he gave me some facts and figures concerning Southern iron which I regard as significant. He claims that the Southern operators have three ser- ious obstacles to contend with—climate, soil and ore. The first conduces to indo- lenee, the second is incapable of producing the hardy foed necessary to continued exer- tion, and the third is greatly inferior to the ‘Lake Superior product. The Southern coke is the poorest he ever saw, as it takes more of it to make the iron, and contains proper- ties injurious to the metal. The average 7 cost of making a ton of Southern iron is about as follows: Ore: 45 tons @ Blood... swe, ee $3.75 ‘umestone, 110M... ....... 3... ee 1.25 WOON es 6.50 pammnee ASDGr._... 8-8. ee 1.50 Current sapplies and labor................ 40 Reserve for general repairs............... 50 Wopel. 2, 2520s. ek $13.90 *“*“As Lake Superior iron can now be made nearly as cheap as the Southern product, ‘and as the former is always preferable to the latter, he fails to see wherein the South is to dominate the prices of the great staple in the future.” eB << ___— *‘Surfeit the People and Sicken Them.” The announcements from two representa- tive jobbing houses in this week’s paper that they have embarked in the cheap tin- ware business will undoubtedly cause con- siderable conjecture among the trade as to the cause for the innovation. A reporter of “THE of the jobbers with an inquiry as to his rea- sons for adding another line to their already large business and he replied: “A few months ago the erocer was pestered to death by persons who wanted a silver spoon with every pound of baking powder, and so on ad libitum. The only way for the gro- cer to meet the want was to pile scheme on top of scheme until he sickened the con- sumer of the whole gift business. Just now the public clamor seems to be in the direc- tion of cheap tinware. If the hardware dealer doesn’t put in a line of the stuff, the people will go to some bazar for it; and asa consequence, he is compelled to lose con- siderable trade. I hold that the legitimate dealer is forced to handle cheap tinware, to ineet the prevaling craze for cheap goods, which will probably take some other form within the next few months.” A The Gripsack Brigade. Jas. Rooney has sold a hose cart to the Imlay City fire department. Alfred Hollway has invented and applied for a patent on a new style of desk, which is said to possess genuine merit. Ed. Krekel, who has traveled for Rindge, Bertsch & Co. for several years, has taken up his residence in Milwaukee and will hereafter cover the Upper Peninsular and Wisconsin trade. Fred. Nielson, the Pentwater banker, took up a collection to defray the expense of shaving John McIntyre one day last week, but John misappropriated the funds— as usual—and still bears the appearance of a polar bear. TRADESMAN recently approached one | | trimmings, ete. i ed Alby L. Brasted is the latest aspirant for canine fame. Herecently purchased a fine water spaniel at Cheboygan, and exhibited the trophy to the Petoskey trade one day last week at the end of fifteen feet of two- inch rope. If the animal lives until the Fourth, he will appear in the procession in company with Geo. Owen’s collection. John McIntyre contributes the following: “On coming out of Chicago on a Michigan Central train a few days ago, Mr. David Smith, the gentlemanly perambulator for Bannard, Lyman & Co., met a lady who had lost her ticket an:l all the money she had with her. With eyes full of tears, she asked Dave 1f he was a Mason. He replied: ‘Not exacily, but my father used to carry a hod in the city of Dublin’.” The traveling men’s banner is now com- pleted, and will be open to puplic inspection for the first time on the Fourth. Itis made of blue silk, with gold braid, fringe and tassels and red silk cords. + The inscription on the banner is peculiarly appropriate. The upper half is occupied with the sentiment, ‘‘The Drummer is the Most Innocent Man on the Road,” below which is a very fair represen- tation of a grip-sack. At the botton is the inscription, ‘‘Grand Rapids Drummers.” All the wording is in zilt and is well done, the whole presenting 2 very attractive appear- ance. The Fourth of July committee have gotten out a large colored poster announcing the programme on Jndependenece Day. Includ- ed in the display lines is one reading ‘‘250 Drummers in Uniform.” One of the Grand Rapids boys stood among a crowd watching the posting up of one of the bills in a North- ern town last week, when an old resident remarked that 250 was a good many drum- mers, concluding with an inquiry as to whether they were all ‘‘snare drummers.” Tre TRADESMAN authorized to state that Grand Rapids traveling men are never “a delusion and a snare.” Jainwell Mdependent: The traveling men who make their homes in Plainwell have decided to remain here on the Fourth, and enjoy the novelty of a holiday with their families. They have a very pressing invitation to join the gripsack brigade at Grand Rapids, but have concluded to stay at home this time. * * * C. B. Lamb brought suit before Judge Arnold this week, against a Chicago firm, and the respondents were thunderstruck when His Honor re- marked that he could not hear the case, as he might be prejudiced, because the firm owed him money that he could not get. At a meeting of the traveling men, held at TH TRADESMAN office Saturday even- ing, Captain Bradford presided and W. S. Horn wielded the pen. The committee on banners made a report, which was accepted and adopted, and the committee discharged. A resolution was adopted that each member of the ladies’ band be presented with a but- ton-hole boquet and that Joe Reed make the presentation speech. George Seymour, Wm. E. Cooper and D. C. Underwood were appointed a committee to secure a room for a3rendezvous on the 3d and 4th. The meet- ing then adjourned, to meet at the place designated by the committee at 8 o’clock on the morning of the Fourth. << -@- <> Messrs.

I wanted to tell you about our meetings and the proceedings of the ‘‘Regulators,” but that will have to lay over, too, because T want to speak a little about the new law. The pharmaseutical law isamighty good thing, I think, provided its groceries and provisions are carried out as they ought to be. But Iam glad to learn that the Board is not going to ask such a lot of fool ques- tions of the condidates as they have done in some other States. Take No. 50, for instance,—in the Illi- nois questions printed in Ture TRADESMAN last week. ‘How many elementary bodies are there in nature?” I would like to see some feller answer that correctly. I will give a chromo to the chap that first answers it, post paid, with stamp enclosed to pay re- turn charges. T have been corresponding with some ot the members of the State Board, and as near as I can get at it from all points, the list of questions will be about as follows. Any one can see that has ever been in the drug business, that what we need in a drug clerk is a practical knowledge of the busi- ness. Now, it may be we Lenough to let the candidate wrastle with a few nice, well-con- structed, well written prescriptions when he is examined, because it will probably be the last such he will ever see; but practical to see that he is posted on reading it is more and filling such prescriptions as the speci- mins below, taken from the actual files of a city drug store, by a member of the Board. Drug clerks should study well this list of » PRACTICAL QUESTIONS. No. 1. If epsom salts sells for 10 conts a pound, how many ounces would you give a man who threw down a nickel and said: ‘‘I want a dose of salts, 5 cents worth”? No. 2. If a boy calls for “Spirit of Nitre,” would you give it to him? or would you give him Spts. Aeth. Nit.? No. 3.
