Synopsis  of  the  Proposed  Enactment  Gov­

LEGISLATION  FOR  DRUGGISTS.

erning  Pharmacists.

The  Demand for Oak.

SPRING  

A  COMPAN ?

The following is a  liberal  abstract  of  tlie 
bill  adopted at Lansing by the newly-organ­
ized  Michigan  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
which they will  ask  the  Legislature  at  its 
next session to enact as a law :
Section 1  provides that it shall  be  unlaw­
ful for any person to  open  or  conduct  any 
pharmacy, drug store or place  for  retailing, 
compounding or dispensing drugs, medicines I 
or poisons for medical use,  unless  such  per­
son and his employes shall be registered.
Section 2 provides  that  every  person  en- 
gagedjin the business of a dispensing pharma- 
cist at the time the act goes into effect  shall, 
within three months  thereafter,  forward  to 
the board  of  pharmacy  satisfactory  proof, | 
supported by affidavit, that he  was  engaged 
in such business at such  time,  and  that  he 
shall then be granted a  certificate  of  regis­
tration upon payment of a proper fee.
Section 3 requires licentiates in  pharmacy 
to pass satisfactory  examination  before  the 
state board of  pharmacy, to  have  had  two 
years’ practical  experience  in  drug  stores, 
and entitles them to registration ; it also per­
mits the board to grant certificates  of  regis­
tration  to licentiates of  such other  pharma­
ceutical boards as may be deemed proper.
Section 4 entitles any assistant or clerk  in 
pharmacy, not less that 18 years of age, who 
lias  not  the  qualifications  of  a  registered 
pharmacist at the time the  act  tal>es  effect^ 
and wl^o has  been  employed  two  or  more 
years in a drug store, to a “registered  assist­
ant” certificate, which certificate permits him 
to continue his business as a clerk or  assist­
ant, hut does not  entitle  him  to  engage  in 
business on  his own account unless he  shall 
have had at least five years’ experience.  His 
certificate  will  be  renewed annually there­
after upon the  payment of 50 cents.
Section 5 invests the governor with power 
to appoint five persons to constitute the board 
of pharmacy.  These  persons  so  appointed 
are required to have had  at  least  10  years’ 
practical experience in pharmacy,  and  shall 
hold their offices five years.  It also arranges 
that the term of office of  one of the first five 
appointees shall expire on  the  30th  of  De­
cember of each year, and that  the  governor 
shall fill the  vacancy, and  all  other  vacan­
cies that may occur, with the advice and con­
sent  of  the  senate.  Appointments  made 
when the senate is not in session may be con­
firmed  at the ensuing session.  The  Michi­
gan pharmaceutical association is.required to 
report  annually  to  the  governor,  recomend­
ing, the first year, the names  of  10  persons 
deemed by the association qualified to  serve 
as members of the board, and  each  succeed­
ing year the names of  three  persons  to  fill 
any vacaacies that may occur in  said  board.
Section 6 requires the board  to  meet  and 
organize within thirty  days  of  its  appoint- 
! ment, by the election of a president and sec­
retary, and limits their term of office  to  one 
year.  The  board is required to examine  all 
applications for registration;  to grant certifi­
cates to such  persons  as  may be entitled  to 
them; to prosecute persons violating the pro­
visions of the act ;  to report annually  to  the 
governor and Michigan  Pharmaceutical  As­
sociation the condition  of  pharmacy  in  the 
State, furnish a record of the proceedings of 
the board, and the names of pharmacists reg­
istered under the act.  The board is required 
to hold meetings at  least  once  every  three 
months for  the  examination  of  applicants 
and the transaction of other  business,  these 
meetings must have 30 days’ public notice of 
time and place before  convening;  it  is  em­
powered to make by-laws for the fulfillment 
of its duties, and required to keep a registra­
tion book in which shall be  the  names  and 
places of business of  all  persons  registered 
under the  act.  Three members of the board 
constitute a quorum. 
*
Section 7 requires every applicant for  reg­
istration as a registered pharmacist to pay to 
the secretary of the board $2, the  same  sum 
by licentiates of other  boards who  shall  ap­
ply for registration,  and  by  applicants  for 
registration by examination the  sum  of  $5. 
If applicants fail to pass the money  will  be 
refunded.
Section 8 requires, that  the  certificate  of 
j registration shall be conspicuously posted in 
I the pharmacy to which it applies,  and  com- 
j pells registered  pharmacists  who  desire  to 
continue in the business to pay to the  secre­
tary of the board a registration fee, which in 
no case shall exceed $2.
Section 9 fixes the salary of  the  members 
of the board at $5 for each  day  actually  in 
session,  with payment for all  legitimate  ex- j 
penses incurred; the  secretary  to  receive  aj 
salary  fixed  by.  the  board,  traveling  and 
other expenses incurred in the  performance 
of his duties.  These expenses are to be paid 
out of the moneys  received  from  fees  and 
penalties.  All moneys received by the  sec- 
retary in excess of the  per  diem  allowance 
and other expenses shall be held as a special 
fund for meeting the expenses of the  board, j 
The secretary must give suitable bonds from 1 
time to time, and the board in its annual  re­
ports render an  account  of  all  moneys  re­
ceived and disbursed.
Section 10  provides  penalties  for  infrac­
tions  of  the  act.  Registered  pharmacists 
who  employ  unregistered  persons  for  the 
compounding or retailing of medicines or per­
mit the compounding  of drugs or  medicines 
in their places of business except  under  the 
supervision  of  a  registered  pharmacist,  or 
shall fail to procure their annual registration 
or use false representations to  procure  such 
registration, or violate any* other  provisions 
of the act shall  be deemed guilty of a misde­
meanor and be liabie to a fine of $50 for each 
and every offense.  This, however, does  not 
interfere with  the business  of  a  physician 
nor the making  or  vending  of  proprietary 
medicines when thé same are properly sealed 
and  labeled,  nor  with  the  sale  of  usual 
domestic remedies,  nor  with  the  exclusive 
wholesale business of any dealers.
Section  11  prohibits  the  adulteration ot 
drugs, medicines and pharmaceutical  prepa­
rations so that they will  not  correspond  to 
the recognized tests of identity or purity and 
fixes the penalty of a conviction  at  not  less 
than $50 nor more than $100 for the first of­
fense and not less than $75  nor  more  than 
$150 for each subsequent offense.  The board 
is |empowered to employ an  analyst  to  ex­
amine so-called adulterations and  if  his  re­
port warrants to prosecute the  offender.
Section  12  regulates  the  sale of poisons. 
No person shall retail poisons without  affix­
ing a label bearing the name  of  the  article 
and the word “poison” distinctly shown.  It 
also requires the seller to satisfy himself that 
the poison is to be used for a legitimate  pur­
pose, and prohibits the delivery of poison  to

F ron  th e  N orthw estern  Lum berm an.

Ten years ago it would hardly  have  been 
admitted by dealers who  handled  Michigan 
and Indiana oak that in a decade there would 
be such a thinning out of the “monarchs” of 
the forest that a scarcity would be felt.  Oak 
was in too gr®at abundance in some  sections 
of those states to suit the fancy of  the  own­
ers of the land upon which  it  grew.  Much 
of it was  cut  simply  to  get  it  out  of  the 
way, and the owners of it thought they were 
fortunate if they could sell  it  to  mill  men 
who would cut it, and  thus,  themselves,  be 
saved that trouble.  There was less  call  for 
it then than now.^  As  the  building  of  rail­
roads has increased, the demand for  oak in­
creased proportionately, until now  the  once 
great oak states, Michigan and  Indiana,  can 
not justly lay claim .to being called such.  Oak 
in those states has not boomed  in  price  like 
walnut—iris not an excesssve price that bars 
a supply—but heavy contractors are  looking 
elsewhere for  it  for  the  very  reason  that 
they are obliged to.  There is a large amount 
of Tennessee and Kentucky oak, upon which 
heavy  freight  rates  are  paid,  distributed 
from the Chicago  market,  and  the  amount 
coming forward  from  those* states  will  in­
crease from year to year.
Fashion has little to  do  with  the  use  of 
oak.  From the start it has demanded  to  be 
used, and it holds its  place  with  a  grip  as 
strong as the wood  inself.  The  two  kinds 
of pine may  jostle  each  other;  whitewood 
may take the place  of  white  pine;  walnut 
may be crowded out by other kinds of  hard­
wood, and often by soft woods; in fact, most 
of the woods, in their  uses,  are  subject  to 
the  caprice of taste, but oak stands  sturdily 
by  and  refuses  to  yield.  For cars, staves, 
agricultural implements, for  a  hundred  and 
one things, in fact,  it must be had.  The dis­
covery of forests of other woods does not af­
fect its  value.  There  has  never  yet  been 
any material discovered or invented that, will 
take its  place,  and  we  feel  tolerably  safe 
when we say that there never will be. 
It  is 
one of the few indispensable woods.
We doubt if to-day there  is  a  market  in 
the world that is not  demanding  good  oak. 
Throughout the foreign countries the  call  is 
so large that it cannot be filled.  English car 
builders are buying car sills on track in Can­
ada, and their operations would be  extended 
to the States if they  could  find  responsible 
parties with whom to  make  contracts.  The 
inspection is severe, and that  stands  in  the 
way of the American manufacturer, for, as a 
rule, he does not like to be hound by specific 
specifications.  He delights to take  a  go-as- 
you-please gait, and  the  result  is  that  his 
lumber often is  not up  to  the  requirements 
of the purchaser.  The exact methods of the 
white pine manufacturers of the  Northwest 
he has not learned.
The oak of Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennes­
see and Kentucky will  in  large  part,  in  the 
shape of timber and staves,  find  its  way  to 
the southern ports,  and  thence  to  Europe. 
On the Mississippi river  and  its  tributaries 
the stave business is  picking  up,  and  with 
cheap water transportation to New  Orleans, 
the business will not only be a large one, but 
it ought to be profitable.  On the same rivers 
the getting out of oak timbers for the foreign 
market will become a large business, spurred 
on by northern push and capital.  Alabama, 
we believe is yet  destined  to  send  a  good 
deal of oak abroad.  Some  of  the  English 
dealers object to the oak  of  that State,  but 
they must overcome some of their objections, 
for to get all the oak they want from Canada 
and Michigan is out of the. question.  There 
is certainly no tougher oak than grows in the 
South, and this quality is the one needed.
Red oak, a few  years  ago  thought  to  be 
useless, is no longer despised.  Its value has 
become known, and the uses to which it will 
be put will increase.  That the manufacture 
of it into staves for the West  India  market 
will grow into an important industry admits 
of little question.  Taking everything in con­
sideration, the owner of oak stumpage ought 
not  to  feel  that  he has a very big elephant 
on his hands.

Of  Course  It  Does.

From the Fife Lake Comet.
E. A. Stowe, publisher  o f' The  Trades­
man,  Grand  Rapids,  stopped  at  the Lake 
Yiew Friday night.  Mr. Stowe’s  paper  is 
a new  venture  in  journalism,  but  it  is  a 
journal  that  deserves success from the  out­
set.

The  Consolidated  paper  com pany,  com­
prising  50  wrapping  paper  mills  in  the 
Northwest, met in Chicago recently,  and  re­
solved, in view of the overstocked condition 
of the market, to shut down  all  mills  from 
December 1 to February 1.

The prospect of an open winter is not just 
what the rubber boot  and  shoe  men  would 
most desire, but so far they have nothing  to 
complain of.

Breakage  of Stoves  in Transit.

From  th e Iro n  Age.
The breakage of stoves  in  transit  is  an 
evil for which  we  can suggest  no  remedy 
other than those which makers  and  dealers 
have  it  in  their  power  to  apply.  They 
must filler  crate their  stoves  securely or 
ship til  m without  releasing  the  carrying 
companies  from  liability. 
Probably  the 
companies would refuse to  take  them  un­
less they were released;  probably  the deal­
ers would  object  to  paying  extra  rates if 
they  could  be  so  shipped,  and  probably 
neither makers nor dealers would be  willing 
to assume the cost of safe  crating.  We do 
not know, therefore, what we  can  suggest. 
Stoves, as now  built,  are  extra-hazardous 
freight to handle.  They  are  bulky,  awk­
ward to  handle,  heavy and  brittle.  Most 
of the breakage results from  the  shocks of 
bumping incident to running  freight  trains 
—very little of  it  from  careless  handling. 
In carload lots, packed by  the makers, 
the 
percentage of breakage is  small, but  when 
a few stoves are shipped  with  miscellane­
ous freights, piled in as miscellaneous freight 
must be, the risk is  very  serious.  The re­
course of  suing a  railroad  company  is  no 
recourse at all. 
It  could  only  be  done  at 
great cost of money  and  time,  and  delays 
and appeals would irfake it cheaper to’  pock­
et the loss and save  counsel  fees.  We  do 
not, however, know  a more  important  sub­
ject, or one which invites a fuller  and  freer 
interchange of views  between  makers  and 
dealers.

How to Teil  a Good  Potato.

To distinguish a good from  a poor potato, 
take a  sound  one,  pay no  attention  to  its 
outward appearance, but  divide it  into  two 
parts with a  sharp  knife and  examine  the 
exposed inner surfaces. 
If there is so much 
water  or  “juice” 
that  a  slight  pressure 
would seemingly cause it to fall off in drops, 
you may be assured that it  will be  “soggy” 
after it is  boiled.  That  is  evidence  of  a 
poor potato, and don’t you buy it.
The following are  the  requisite  qualities 
of a good potato:  When cut into,  the  color 
should be yellowish  white;  if  it  is a  deep 
yellow it will not  cook  well.  There  must 
be  a  considerable  amount  of  moisture, 
though not enough to  collect  in  drops  and 
fall off, even with moderate  pressure.  Rub 
the two pieces together, and, if it is 'good, a 
white froth will  appear  around  the  edges, 
and also  upon the two  surfaces  after  they 
are separated.  This  signifies  the  presence 
of a proper quantity of  starch. ■  The  more 
froth then, consequently, the  better the  po­
tato ;  while the less there  is, the  poorer  it 
will cook.  The quantity of the  starchy ele­
ment may also be  judged  by  the  more  or 
less ready adherence of  the  two  parts. 
If 
the adherence is sufficient  for  one  piece to 
hold the other up, the fact  is  evidence  of a 
good article. These are the experiments usu­
ally made by experts when buying  potatoes, 
and  are the  best tests  that  can  be  given 
short of boiling;  but  even  they are  by  no 
means infallible.

For the  Man  Who  Leaves the  Door Open*
We clip the following from  an  exchange:
While the Man Who Takes Your Umbrel­
la has all seasons for his own,  and  the  Man 
Who Has a  Little Story to Tell  fails  not  in 
seed-time nor  in harvest, there is one partic­
ular  fiend who becomes particularly  numer­
ous at about the time when  there  is  a  cool­
ness in the morning breeze  and  little  steam 
in the radiator.  We refer to the  Man  Who 
•Leaves the Door  Open.  He  comes  to  the 
store on various ostensible  erlands,  in  fact 
he  comes  on  about  every  known  pre­
text—excepting to settle a  bill—but  always 
his  actual purpose  is  to  go  away  leaving 
wide  open  the  portal  through  which  the 
wintry zephyrs come cavorting  with  glacial 
coolness, and bearing in their chaste embrace 
fall many a token of  the  snow  outside. 
It 
does no good to bawl after him  to  shut  the 
door.  Oh,  no.  He  is  meandering  adown 
the street, watching the white-winged clouds 
playing  tag  in  the  deep-smiling  heavens. 
But as we lay  down our work, and  walk  to 
the door and close  it  softly  and  pensively, 
and then stoop to gather up the scattered pa­
pers that have been whirled  about  our feet 
like fading  forest leaves, the blessed Serosch 
whispers promises of  a  good  time  coming, 
and we are consoled with confidence  that  in 
that bright dawning era our wintry days will 
be free from earking care, for the Man  Who 
Leaves the Door Open must go.

Haw  to  Choose  an Axe.

The Eau Claire, Wis., Free Press  has the 

following:

Contrary to the  general  supposition, the 
axe is an  instrument  of  skill,  and  the  ex­
pert axeman looks as closely  to  the  fitness 
of the bevel of  his blade, the  form  of  his 
helve, the length and  shape  of  blade  and 
pole, and the weight of his axe for  the pur­
pose contemplated, as the fencer to  his foil. 
The weight of an axe, says  an  experienced 
Eau Claire logger, is arbitrary,  and  depen­
dent upon the choice of the axeman  for the 
purpose intended. 
If the object to be cut is 
small timber, which may be severed at from 
one to half a dozen blows,  an  axe  with  a 
long, thin blade, and as  little  bet'el  as  is 
compatible with strength, is  chosen,  and at 
every stroke the blade is buried to the helve. 
Another Chippewa' lumberman says  if  the 
purpose be to fell large trees  or cut  heavy 
timbers, and this same axe  is used,  it  bites 
deeply in its Strokes, but the  chip  remains 
in the timber after the «incisions,  and  many 
more blows are required to  dislodge it  than 
were necessary for its  formation; therefore, 
for this  purpose,  an  axe  having  a  thick, 
heavy bevel, and cutting much  less  deeply, 
is selected.  The  bevel, now  acting  as  a 
wedge, forces  out  the  chip  at  the  same 
stroke by which the incision is made.

A Compromise on  Starch.

From Texas Siftings.
Mrs. McVapid,  of  Austin,  is  considered 
very obtuse by those  intimately  acquainted 
with her.  One morning  she  called  to  her 
little  boy,  who  was  playing  in  the  front 
yard:
“Tommy, go down to the grocery store and 
bring me a pound of starch.”
“I  liavn’t  got  time  to  go  down  to  the 
grocery store and get a pound of starch.  It’s 
most school time, now.”
“Is that so,” said  Mrs.  MeYapid,  witli  a 
troubled  look,  then  brightening  up,  she 
added,  “Well, then, run down and  get  only 
half a pound.”
Tommy  complied  with  the  compromise, 
was late at school, and the teacher  took  the 
starch out of him with a shingle.

The  Next  Commercial  Bocm.

From   th e   Commercial  Bulletin.
If all the signs of the times may be believ­
ed, the next industrial boom is to be in sugar 
and sugar machinery.  The practicability  of 
the  production  of  sorghum  sugar  in  the 
United States as a commercial success  is  al­
ready  demonstrated,  and in  three different 
locations widely  separated  in  latitude  and 
j  longitude the industry is already established.
! Rio Grande, N. J., made  350,000  pounds  of 
sugar last year, anti will this year double the 
| product.  At Champaign. 111., there was apro- 
I duct of  160,000 pounds last year, which will 
tli is year  be  doubled.  At  Hutchinson  and 
Sterling, Kan., there are factories which have 
already  demonstrated  the  practicability  of 
the industry as well, and there is nothing  to 
prevent  the establishment of  one  thousand 
sugar plants during the next  ten  years  and 
the production of $25,000,000 worth of sugar. 
This is no visionary matter; the product may 
quite likely  be $50,000,000 in that time,  and 
the value of machinery and capital employed 
fully $150,000,000 even if in that time we are 
not producing the entire  $100,000,000  worth 
of sugar now imported.
A  Smarter  Conductor  than  He  Thought  He 

Was.

The time was  midnight.  The  man  was 
fearfully and wonderfully full.  He  walked 
up to the fire-alarm signal box and  placed  a 
nickel in it.  Then he sat down on the curb.

“Why don’t the car start?”
He received no answer.
“Why don’t the car start?”
Still no  answer.
“Gimme back my fare,  then?”
It was not  returned.
Then he jumped up, grabbed the telegraph 
pole around the waist, and attempted to  trip 
it up.  There was a spirited tugging for sev­
eral seconds, and then he made a terrific kick 
at the “feet” of his adversary, and the result 
was that he kicked himself over on  his  own 
head.
As he executivized himself  lie  moved  off, 
saying:
“Yer a smarter conductor than  I  thought 
yer wuz, but I believe now that I’d a throw- 
ed yer if yer coat hadn’t a come off.”

Anti-Tobacco.

From   th e  Philadelphia  Call.

An incessant chewer  of  tobacco  who  was 
very anxious'to break himself  of  the  habit 
was advised to buy a box of a certain  patent 
tobacco antidote, which he did.
A day or two afterward he was asked if it 
had had the desired effect.
“Desired effect!”  he  replied.  “Why,  my 
mouth is one piece of raw  flesh!”
“Then you have no desire to  chew  tobac­
co?”
“Chew tobacco!  Why, I can’t  chew  any­
thing.  1 have taken nothing but  cold  gruel 
since yesterday morning. 
If I  keep on with 
that ‘patent  antidote’  you  suggested  for  a 
week longer I ’ll be in my grave.”
‘'Well, the manufacturer doesn’t guarantee 
to keep a  man  in  good  health.  He  only 
guarantees to cure the bad  habit  of  tobacco 
chewing.  You musn’t expect too much.”

He  D|dn’t Drink  His  Claret Alone.

From   Texas  Siftings.

“Gracious, Henry!”  exclamed  an  Austin 
lady to her husband,  “you  didn’t  drink  all 
that bottle of claret alone, did you?”
“Alone, darling!” replied Henry.  “O, no, 
I didn’t drink it alone.  I had just taken two 
toddies and a rum punch before I tackled the 
claret 
I thought the claret  itself  might  be 
a little lonesome, and so I took them to keep 
it company.

Grocers should keep out of polities.  Their 

motto should be,  “measures, not men.”

A woman hater says that it takes a ton  of 
coal to keep a  ten  cent  geranium  alive  all 
winter.
Many a clerk wTho works hard  during  the 
day allows his  hands to go  to  waist  during 
the evening.

Two advertisements got mixed in a country 
paper so as  to  read,  “Peterson’s  Purgative 
Pellets”  “Make liens Lay.”

Sampson, the stjong  party,  was  the  first 
man to advertise.  He took two solid columns 
to  demonstrate  his  strength,  and  sacral 
thousand persons “tumbled” to  his  scheme. 
And he brought down the bous?.

When a man’s wife comes in and sees him,
| razor in hand, and his  face  all  lather,  and 
; asks him:  “Are you shaving?” it’s aprovok- 
I ing thing for him to answer:  “No, I’m black- 
j ing the stove,”  but it is human  nature  to  so 
! reply.

Toad raising is a profitable*Austrian indus­
try.  The  creatures  are  produced  for  the 
London market, where they are sold for $15 
| or  $20 per hundred, and are bought by gar- 
| deners’ and agriculturists for use in  destroy- 
i ing  obnoxious insects.

The  Cincinnati  Board  of Trade  has  for- 
j mally adopted its Finance Committee’s report 
j declaring tlipt “the trade  dollar  lias  become 
j a nuisance and a  source  of  much  complaint 
against the Government,  and  that  the  only 
just and proper course is for the Government, 
which created it, to redeem it.”

Judge Swan, who has passed some months 
on the Queen Charlotte Islands, in the  inter­
est of the United  States  Fish  Commission, 
reports  the  discovery  of  a  new  food fish, 
which he calls the  black cod.  He  says it  is 
one of the finest fish he has ever seen, and is 
caught in great numbers by dredging in deep 
w’ater, and, when salted,  is more  tender  and 
palatable than  codfish.

A new method, known  as  the  centrifugal 
process, is  now  being  introduced  into  the 
making of butter.  It makes as high as 2,000 
revolutions  per minute, and  converts  fresh 
milk into butter in an hour’s  time.  Hereto- 
| fore, milk  was  set  in  pans  in  which  the 
! cream formed, then to  be  churned,  but  the 
j instant  conversion  of  fresh  milk into  but­
ter is one of the latest  marvels. 
It is a  ter­
rible blow to oleomargarine, as the saving of 
time and labor in the manufacture  of  butter 
is greatly lessened.

If you want to do  a  wise  thing,  send  to 
Tatum  & Co., of  Cincinnati,  for  a  sample 
lot of their copying presses.  They make  so 
many of them  that  they  can  cater -to  the 
taste of any buyer, and the dealer who sends 
for one lot always  “tries  it  again.”  They 
have  a  combined  copying-press  stand  and 
blacking case which is  quite  a  novelty,  and 
is proving a popular piece of office furniture. 
Their copy-press stands  are  just  the  thing 
for a stationer to have, who wants to display 
his goods, and at the same time have a  table 
he can readily sell.

An advance of live cents  per  hundred  on

When you find a traveling  salesman  who! 
is opposed to  The  Tradesman,  you  may [ 
take it for granted that he and the house  he 
represents are doing a tricky  business,  with 
a different  price  for  every  patron,  and  do 
not want customers  to  have  reliable  trade 
information and quotations.  Such men only 
favor papers that quote  prices from 25 to 30 
per cent, above the market.

The effect produced on the match trade by 
the abolition of  the  tax  to  which matches 
were formerly subject presents a remarkable 
illustration of  the  commercial  rule  that  a 
decrease of price is naturally  and  in  nearly 
every case  accompanied  by  an  increase  of 
consumption. 
It was hardly to be  expected 
that the sale of matches  would  be  substan­
tially increased by the  cheapening influence 
of the change in the law.  They  are  a  sort 
of merchandise which  may  be  accounted  a 
necessity  which  is  constantly  in  demand, 
and which has always been sold  at  a figure 
too low to restrict its use to any considerable 
extent.  Yet  manufacturers  say  that  the 
repeal  of  the  tax  has  had an  exceedingly 
stimulating effect upon their business. 
It is 
a suggestive circumstance.

To the Distributors Of Blackwell’s Durham Smoking Tobacco throughout the United States:

GREETING:—It  has  been  our  aim  for  some  time  to  supply  you  with  an  article  that  would  not  only  advertise  our  brand  of  W.  T,  Blackwell’s  Genuine  Bull 
Durham  Smoking  Tobaoco,  but  also  be  useful  to  you  and  an  ornament  to  your  place  of  business;  just  what  to  select  has  been  our  difficulty.  Chromos, and  articles  of  that 
nature  soon  lose  their  novelty,  and  we  regretted  to  expend  such  an  enormous  sum  on  anything  that  would  not  last  and  be  of  some  value.  The  novel  idea  finally  struck 
us  of  producing  a  bale  of  Blackwell’s  Genuine  Durham  Smoking  Tobacoo,  containing  “ Works ”  instead  of  the  original  well-known  article,  guaranteed  to  furnish  you  with 
Correct  Time  and  be  a  pleasing  reminder  when  your  orders  should  be  sent  in  for  the  “ Bull.” 

Respectfully  to  the  Trade,

Is the Sky  Brightening?

From   th e Shoe  and  L eather  Review.

The business world has  been  sorely  tried 
during the past few months  by  a  series  of 
commercial disasters, many  of  which  were 
of such a character as  to  make  one  almost 
lose faith in all business integrity.  When it 
is  discovered  that  a  firm  like  that of the 
Shaw Brothers, counting its property by the 
millions, has been carrying on  a  systematic 
swindling of its creditors, and  issuing  false 
statements in regard  to  its  operations  and 
condition of affairs,  it  is  not  strange  that 
other firms should be regarded with more or 
less suspicion and  that  the  feeling  of  dis­
trust  should  become  general.  A  certain 
amount of confidence is necessary in all bus­
iness transactions, and it is the sudden weak­
ening  of  this  confidence  that  causes  the 
financial panics and disasters.  The failures 
during the past six months have been of  un- 
paralelled magnitude,  much greater  in  fact 
than those which led to the well-remembered 
panic of 1873. 
It  is, therefore, the more re­
markable that the failures this yetir seem  to 
have so little effect outside the  parties  who 
are  directly  interested  by  actual  dealings 
with the weak  firms.  One  explanation  for 
this is found in the fact that we  have  a  bet­
ter currency now than we had then, and con­
sequently,  that  values  are  not so easily af­
fected.  But there is another and better rea­
son in the fact that the .country at large  has 
this year all the elements  for  general  pros­
perity.  The  harvest  was  bounteous,  and 
prices of food products  are low.  There is a 
good demand from abroad for our surplus pro­
ductions.  These conditions  under ordinary 
circumstances  would  insure  an  active  and 
heatlhy business movement.  Merchants and 
manufacturers very naturally looked for such 
a movement and made their preparations ac­
cordingly.  Just at the time when the move­
ment should start up, however, comes in the 
new element of distrust  on  account  of  the 
startling revelations  made  by  the  failures. 
The immediate effect was  to  check  the  nat­
ural and legitimate  movement  of  money  in 
the regular channels of trade.  The  chronic 
croaker fairly revelled in gloomy predictions 
more of disasters to follow.  Holders of money 
werefcfraid to let it go out of their possession, 
and  houses doing an extended business sud­
denly found themselves crippled for want of 
the accommodaitons which they had  a right 
to expect.  The only wonder is that the disas­
ters were not much greater.  The manner in 
which the shock was met  and  sustained  by 
the great majority of business houses, is  the 
strongest possible  proof  of  their  excellent 
condition.  Anqther curious  feature  is  that 
the retail trade seems to have  been  affected 
only in a very  small  degree.  The  warning 
came in time to prevent  them  from  buying 
to excess, and in almost every instance  they 
find that the actual  consumptive  demaud  is I 
exceeding their expectations.
It now  looks  as if the worst was  passed. 
The inflow of gold lias set in from Europe in 
payment for the produce we have been send­
ing.  and  the accumulation of money at  the 
financial centers compels the bankers to seek 
employment for it even to the extent of taking 
considerable risks.  Interest rates were never 
so low when unquestioned security is offered, 
and this will necessarily encourage new bus­
iness ventures.  An index of  this  tendency 
is furnished by the strong bull movement  in 
the New York stock markets during the past 
week. 
It is not  possible  for  the  natural 
movement of trade to be held in check by ex­
traneous causes for any  length of time.  Dis­
trust may rule for  a  time,  but  if  there  is 
nothing in the actual conditions  to  warrant 
the  feeling, the return of  confidence cannot 
be long  delayed.  When  the  reaction  does I 
come, the forward movement will be  all the 
more vigorous because its strength  has  been 
so  thoroughly  tested  by  the  obstruction. | 
The failure of the weak firms  under  a  very 
moderate strain, is  good  proof  that  their j 
operations were more or less reckless, and it j 
is a very decided benefit to the general busi-! 
ness to have such firms out of the way.
The new year will open under very favor- j 
able  auspices.  Overproduction,  which  is 
the nightmare of  trade, has  been  effectually | 
checked, and it is estimated that  the  stocks! 
of manufactured goods  in  the  country  will | 
be smaller than at any time during  the  past j 
ten years.  There  is  a  plethora  of  money j 
that  must  find 
its  way  into  business! 
channels  for  employment.  The  farmers; 
have plenty of money and plenty of produce j 
to sell, and as soon as they get over the  idea 
that there is danger  of  a  grand  crash  they 
will unsew their pockets and let  the  money 
go into circulation, thus giving a healthy im­
petus to all departments of  trade.

A.  H.  F OW L E ,

PAINTER  AND  DECORATOR,

Alabastine is the first and  only  prepara­
tion made from  calcined  gypsum  rock,  for 
application  to  walls  with  a  brush, and  is 
fully  covered  by  our  several  patents  and 
perfected  by  many  years  of  experiments. 
It  is  the  only  permanent  wall  finish,  and 
admits  of  applying  as  many  coats  as  de­
sired, one over another, to any hard  surface 
without  danger  of  scaling,  or  noticeably 
adding to the thickness of  the  wall,  which 
is  strengthened  and  improved  by  each  ad­
ditional chat, from time  to  time. 
It  is  the 
only material for the purpose not dependent 
upon glue for its adhesiveness ;  furthermore 
it is the only  preparation  that is  claimed 
to  possess  these  great  advantages,  which 
are  essential  to  constitute  a  durable  wall 
finish.  Alabastine is hardened on  the  wall 
by  age, moisture,  etc.;  the  plaster  absorbs 
the  admixtures,  forming  a  stone  cement, 
while  all  kalsomines,  or  other  whitening 
preparations,  have 
inert  soft  chalks,  or 
glue,  for  their  base,  which  are  rendered 
soft, or  scaled, in  a  very  short  time, thus 
necessitating  the  well-known  great  incon­
venience  and  expense, which  all  have  ex­
perienced,  in  washing  and  scraping  off  the 
old  coats  before  refinisliing. 
In  addition 
to the above adyantages,  Alabastine  is  less 
expensive,  as  it  requires  but  one-half  the 
number of pounds to cover the same amount 
of surface with two coats, is  ready  for  use 
by  simply  adding  water,  and  is easily ap­
plied  by  any  one.

Representatives  of the  Pullman  Car  Co. 
have been prospecting at Stony Creek during 
the past week with a view of purchasing Min­
ard Bros, milling properties.  They expressed 
themselves as  highly  pleased  with  the  out­
look, and  think that a bargain can be made. 
If this corporation takes hold of Stony Creek, 
business there will undoubtedly be  resurect- 
ed to shine in its former glory.

baking  powder,  styled  the  “.Yale,”  which 
they will shortly place on the market.

Henry  Ives  has  taken  the  road  for  the 
Plumb & Lewis Manufacturing  Co.,  and  is 
meeting with flattering success in  Illinois.

Claus Orth, formerly engaged in  trade  at 
Detroit, but for the past two years with  the 
Oriel Cabinet Co., has invented an ingenious 
contrivance for a money  drawer  or  jewelry 
case, by which the  money  or  valuables are 
made to disappear and  re-appear  at the will 
of the owner. 
It can be made any size,  and 
pot in any piece of  furniture  or  used  inde­
pendently.  Mr.  Orth  has  taken  steps  to 
secure a patent,  and  proposes  engaging  in 
the manufacture of the article here.

AROUND  TH E  STA TE.

The Howard Record says that  that  place 

needs more store buildings.  Good sign.

It is B. J.  Whelpley  who  has  purchased 
Ilalliday & Brown's general stock  at  Hoyt- 
ville.

The  apple  crop  in  Calhoun  county  this 
year was almost  a  complete  failure.  The

cery business at Hudsonville, but  latterly  in 
trade  at  Saranac,  lias  moved  his stock to

Muskegou  News:  Messrs.  Schimmell  & 
Lovejoy, of  Ypsilanti, will open a  crockery 
store in Quinlan’s  new  block  next  mouth. 
Mnskegons’s commercial interests  are grow­
ing  very rapidly.

Plainwell is a  pretty  hard  town,  but  ho 
one has  ever supposed that girls  not  yet  in 
their teens were in the habit of playing pool 
for peanuts as stakes.  Wm. English vouches 
for the fact, however.

Bradstreet’s  Mercantile  Agency  reports 
that  Frank  Raymond  has  engaged  in  the 
flour  and  feed  business  at  Fennville  and 
that H. A. Goodrich lias just opened  a  pool 
and billiard room at the same place.

Minard Bros., formerly Wheeler & Minard 
Bros., have sold a  portion  of  their  general 
stock at Stony  Creek—otherwise  known  as 
Benona—to N. Nelson, and  are  packing  the 
remainder, preparatory  to shipping it to  St. 
Charles.

Davis & Stevens  have  opened  a  general 
grocery store at Whitehall,  occupying  J.  O.

Stevens has been a resident of Whitehall for 
several  years.

Graves  &  Son,  for several years past en­
gaged  in  the grocery trade at Sheridan,  but

place  shortly.

The business men of Shelby—in  conjunc­
tion with W. H. H. Walker, who  severs  his 
connection  as superintendent  of  the  Grand 
Rapids Wheelborrow Works on January 1— 
propose to organize  a  stock  company  with 
$20,000 capital for the purpose  of  engaging 
in the manufacture of wheelborrows  at that 
place. 
It is stated that the citizens  will  aid 
the enterprise by contributing to a  fund  for 
the purchase of a desirable site  for  the  fac­
tory.
The Ovid Register  says:  Our  industries 
are not “infantile  ghosts.”  The  Ovid  Car­
riage Works; the pride of our town and State, 
is compelled to run twelve and a half  hours 
to fill its orders.  The apple dryer, and cider 
and jelly manufactory of Gleason  Bros., em­
ploys twenty-five hands, and is doing a large 
business.  The  manufactory  of  D. Thoinp- 
. son &  Co.  employs  twenty-five  men.  The 
new enterprise of Patou,  Beach  &  Abbott, 
manufacturers of base ball bats,  is  meeting 
with flattering success.

GOOD  F E E L IN G   A T   MONTAGUE.

Said a prominent representative of the gro­
cery business at Montague, to Tue Trades­
man’s  traveler  a  day  or  two  ago:  “ The 
working people at this  place  are  in  better 
shape, financially,  that  ever  before.  The 
season  was  backward  to  begin  with,  and 
they  have been almost  constantly reminded 
that  tipsy  have a hard  winter  before  them. 
As  a  consequence,  the  majority  of  them 
have saved a  considerable  portion  of  their 
summer’s earnings, instead  of  living  it out 
as they go along—as  is  usually  the  case— 
and most of them  have  enough  laid  by  to 
carry  their  families  through  the  winter, 
while they seek employment in  the  woods. 
This relieves us of the necessity of  trusting 
them, and while our aggregate  trade  is  not 
much  as  formerly,  our  cash  business  is 
fully up to the average.”

Secretary Jesson, of the Michigan  Pharm­
aceutical Association,  has received from the 
Calvert Lithographing Co.  the  proof  for  a 
handsome lithographic certificate of member­
ship, 14x18 inches, which will  be  submitted 
to the executive  committee,  and  if  accept­
able  to  the  majority,  adopted  and  copies j 
sent to each of the 147 members  of  the  As- 
sociation.  Mr. Jesson says  that he is in  re-1 
eeipt of letters  almost daily  from those  not 
yet  identified  with  the  organization,  com- 
m ending  its  object  and  praising  in  high 
terms the proposed legislative  enactmen  t.

retirement  of  an  old  standby.

Donald M. McClrllan, who started in  bus­
iness at Reed City in the spring of 1872, has 
sold his stock of general goods  and the good 
will of  the business  to  Seymour  &  Smith, 
of Flint.  “Don” or “Mac,” as  he  is  famil­
iarly  callqd,  started  in  trade with nothing 
but a very valuable business experience, put­
ting  in that exceptional acquisition  against I 
a partner’s  capital.  At  the  expiration  of j 
two years he purchased  his  partner’s  inter­
est since which time he has conducted the bus­
iness alone, havinfi accumulated  in  a  little j 
less than a dozen years  a  competency  vari­
ously estimated at from $40,000  to  $60,000. 
He  invariably  discounted every bill, and  in 
this way established a reputation for prompt 
payment  second to none in the State.  This 
cardinal principle of business success, joined 
with sagacious buying,  careful  attention  to 
customer’s interests,  and  a  rigid  no-credit 
system, is a sufficient explanation  ofMcClel- 
len’s anomalous  prosperity.  The  incidents 
of his business  career  are  stated  as  above 
that they may serve as an  example  to  anx­
ious aspirants for legitimate mercantile suc­
cess, although in doing so we  lay  ourselves 
ope* to the charge of giving undue attention 
to thg details  of  a  man’s  private  business. 
Mr. McClellan retains his property  interests 
at  Reed City, including  the  handsome  new 
business block  lately  completed,  which  his 
successors  will  occupy.  He  retires  from 
trade reluctantly, in order to  join  his  wife, 
whose health is too  frail  to  withstand  this 
rigorous northern climate.  He contemplates 
re-engaging  in business at Aikin, .S  C.,  and 
his brother, Alford, who  has  been  his  able 
assistant since 1873, will  probably  be  asso­
ciated with him.  Messrs. Seymour & Smith 
propose to conduct  the  business  on  even  a 
more extensive scale than it  has  been  here­
tofore,  paying  considerable  attention  to  a 
jobbing trad«.

T H E   GROCERY  M ARKET.

Nothing is very  booming  in  the  grocery 
line.  Most lines are declining,  rather  than 
advancing,  with  the  exception  of  coffees, 
which are still on the  rampage,  as  is  indi­
cated by the change in  quotations.  Canned 
goods, as usual at this  season  of  the  year, 
move rather slow.  There is plenty of them, 
notwithstanding  the  old  cry  of  “Short 
Crop,” and as  a  prominent  Chicago  dealer 
says:  “If  the  tomato  worm, and the  peach 
blight  and  the  early  frosts  would  get  in 
among the packers  for  one  season  instead 
of the f  ruits,  it  would  be  better  for  the 
canned  goods  trade  generally.”  Foreign 
frutis are rather easier,  nuts  rattier  firmer. 
The  new  crop  New  Orleans  molasses  is 
moving fairly and at very  reasonable  prices. 
There is no change to note in teas or  syrups 
since last week.
