Sam Jones, the noted evangelist, recently 
delivered an address to  the traveling frater­
nity,  at Chicago, which was as follows:

stocks, 

“As you know, brethren, this is a special 
service.  Cards  of  invitations,  perhaps  to 
the number  of  2,000,  have  been  issued  to 
the commercial travelers to be  present, and 
it is to  them  that  this  sermon  is  directed.
The commercial travelers of  America,  or to 
use a refined expression, the angels of com­
merce—[laughter]—are  not  very much like 
the angels of old, for they were few and far 
between; but you are many  and  your visits 
are  made  almost  daily.  You  are  legion. 
Perhaps there are 300,000  commercial  trav­
elers  in  America  to-day.  What  a  power 
you are  for  good  or  evil  in  the morals  of 
America!  My  earnest  prayer  is  that  you 
carry your grip in one hand and the Bible in 
the other,  and that you do business for both 
worlds on  every  trip. 
[Laughter  and  ap­
plause.] 
I am a sort of drummer myself.  I 
spend little time  at  home.  That is a great 
sacrifice.  My wife and children see little of 
me,  but God forbid that there should he any 
weaning from me.  The curse of a traveling 
man is that you can’t he  at  home when you 
are at home; and oh! how many of you have 
brought  tears of  blood to  the eyes of  your 
wives because of your  indifference. 
If you 
are  not  a  commercial  traveler,  then  you 
don’t know how hard it  is for a commercial 
traveler to be a Christian.  If it is essential, 
in  order  to  be  a  first-class  drummer,  to 
smoke tobacco,  drink liquor, and play cards,
I’d rather be a  third-rate  dog  than  a first- 
claSs  commercial  traveler.  And  now  we 
come to the text: 
‘I  thought  on  my ways 
and  turned  my  feet unto  thy  testimonies.’ 
Inconsiderateness  curses  the  world.  You 
never want to think of the right thing.  Y’ou 
think  about  bonds  and 
and 
about what hotel  you  shall  stop  at.  And 
now if we can spare a few moments in hon- 
st consideration I think we may be benefit- 
d in this service. 
‘I thought on my ways.’ 
Till you  look  hack  on  the  past and  ask 
ourself the  question, have  my  ways been 
ise  ways?  Am  I  wise  day  and  night? 
Does wisdom control me?  Now, here I am 
mortal  being;  I’ve got  to  sell  goods for 
thirty years,  but I’ve  got  to  die  some day, 
and then I want to look  hack  and  say that 
ve never done  anything  to displease  God 
or to dishonor my own being.  Some of you 
do  things  to  accomplish  different  ends. 
Some of you have  got the  bottle,  and some 
of you play cards, with something put up to 
make  the  game  interesting. 
[Laughter.] 
And I could tell you of other things  you do 
it were not for  the  pure faces I see with 
bonnets  on. 
I’ve  seen  the 
time when I would have done devilish tilings, 
but you couldn’t have  hired  me to  do those 
[Laughter.]  A man 
things  by the month. 
ho would have you do evil things in order 
that you might  better push  his trade,  will 
be your worst  enemy one  of  these  days— 
after he lias  debauched  you  and  made you 
crush  the  blood  out of  your  wife’s  heart. 
Applause]  There  isn’t  money enough on 
the face of  the  Lord’s  earth  to employ me 
for  one  trip  to  sell  whisky  or  beer. 
I 
wouldn’t sell liquor for anybody.  I couldn’t 
be hired.  I’m not mad at the man who sells 
whisky,  I’m mad at the demijohns,  the bot­
tles,  and  everything  that  holds  whisky. 
Laughter.]  An honest man  is the noblest 
wqfk of  God.  He is  worth  his  weight in 
gold.  Don’t work  for a man  who counsels 
bad means for a  good end. 
I’d  rather be a 
dying man in a poor house  than a man who 
would advise mean  ways  to reach a big or­
der.

[Laughter.] 

“Now,  brother,  determine  first  to  work 
for  none  but  an  honest  house.  Just  say 
that  you  won’t  misrepresent  your  goods. 
Boycott any house that would ask you to do 
such a thing.  You’ve  got the  power to do 
it. 

[Applause.]
‘’Bout the dirtiest  thing  in the  universe 
is a dirty  drummer. 
[Laughter.]  They’re 
hard to find—[laughter]—but when you find 
em you’ll see they’re powerfully dirty.  He’s 
dirty in his  language  and  he’s  dirty in his 
habits.  Oh,  brothers, live pure lives. Never 
say anything you would  not say  in a parlor 
filled  with  ladies.  Wherever  you  go,  let 
the vows you made to your wife be as sacred 
as the Bible. 
[Applause.]  There’s a com­
mercial  traveler  witli  a  precious  group  of 
children at home.  Now,  father,  your  boy 
is  putting  his  tracks  into  your  tracks. 
Twenty years from now  he’ll be a commer­
cial traveler.  He’ll go into the  same house 
you go into,  and lie’ll drink at  the same bar 
you  do.  Right  about,  and  be  pure. 
I’ll 
look on my ways  as a  father,  and in  addi­
tion  to that I’ll look  on  my ways  as a hus­
band. 
I have received a letter from a wom­
an in this  city—the  wife  of  a  commercial 
traveler—telling a  story of  a  broken heart, 
because  of  her  husband’s 
indifference. 
Growing indifference!  Well, sir, I was head 
over heels  in  love  with  my  wife  when I 
married  her,  and  I  love  her  ten  times  as 
much to-day. 
If  I’d  married 
l  bad ’un I’d a-stuck  to her  just  the same, 
for  I  wouldn’t  want  to  shove  her  off  on 
some other fellow.  [Loud laughter.]  Look 
cp thy ways as a husband, and then look on

[Laughter.] 

thy ways  as  a  citizen,  and  then  above  all 
things  see  what  sort  of a church  member 
you are.  Nearly every drummer is a church 
member, but  he  doesn’t  know  it,  though. 
Now,  every one of  you drum-1 
[Laughter.]
mers  who  never  was  a  member  of  any 
church stand up.” 

[Loud laughter.]

Not  a  Sam’l  of  Posen  arose.  “There, 
didn’t I tell you?” said the evangelist with a 
grin,  as he faced the ministers on the stage. 
Then  turning  to  the  thousand  drummers 
who were nearly  exhausted  from  laughing 
at the subtlety  of  the joke, Mr. Jones said: 
“Now that is  a compliment  to  you all,  but 
it’s a slam on the church. 

[Laughter. J

‘But,’ you say. 

“Brethren! if  you see  your  ways are not 
right then make a turn.  Let us keep straight 
ahead. 
‘I want  time.’  A 
second and a half is all  the time  you  want 
to turn round.  Say,  ‘I’ll live and  die clean 
if I never sell another hill of goods.’ You’ve 
got no  time to  throw  away.  A few  more 
days of debauchery and a few  more  nights 
of 
licentiousness  will  put  some  of  you 
where you can’t turn.  But, thank God,  you 
can turn to-day. 
It is a  grand  thing when 
a man walks  up  and  gives  himself  to the 
right.  God grant that every one of you will 
give yourself  to  a better, purer  and nobler 
life.  How  many of  you wiil  start  out on 
that line  to-day?”

About 500 drummers  arose.  “Well, God 
be praised,  exclaimed  the  evangelist,  “and 
may God  bless  the commercial  travelers of 
Chicago and America,  and  their  wives and 
children,  too.”

Among those on the  platform were O.  P. 
Pindell, president of  the  Traveling  Men’s 
Protective Association; John  It.  Stone,  sec­
retary of the  same  organization; John Sar- 
geant,  secretary of  the Dominion Traveling 
Men’s Association of Canada; T.  S.  Quincy, 
secretary  of  the  Northwestern  Traveling 
Men’s Association, and ex-President Sidney, 
of the  Traveling Men’s  Protective Associa­
tion.

Some Rules for  Some People.

1.  Never sign  your name to a letter after 
you have written  it.  The  person to whom 
it is addressed  may  know who it is from if 
you do.

2.  Never keep a copy of a letter it.  Is bad 

taste to copy.

3.  When  you  receive  a  business  letter 
It will 

don’t file it; put  it  in your  pocket. 
come handy to figure on.

4.  Never  figure  your  invoices  carefully; 
they are always correct.  Bill  clerks  never 
make errors.

5.  When  ordering  goods,  always  order 
“Same as  last.”  It  is  a  good  brand  and 
your jobber always keeps it.  He also keeps 
several men to look after it.

0.  If your goods are lost or damaged while 
in transit,  always  make the  .shipper stand 
the loss.  The  railroad  is  not  responsible; 
and,  besides,  you bought the goods  deliver­
ed in your store.

7.  Never  pay  exchange,  even  when  re­
mitting for bills which are past due.  If you 
do,  your jobber will become impressed with 
the idea that you are not “Shrewd.”

8.  When  your  jobber  tries  to  do  you  a 
favor  by  buying  something outside  of  his 
line don’t fail to write him a mean letter con­
cerning it,  in case it does not suit you.  The 
jobber  always likes  to get  these  letters in 
order that  he may  know how  to  act  next 
time.

9.  If perishable  goods of  any kind  spoil 
on your hands,  ship them  back  by express. 
Your jobber  will not  dare  to  refuse them, 
because  he  values  your  trade.  Besides, 
perishable  goods  are  guaranteed  indefin 
itely.

10.  Never head your letter with the name 
of the State in which you live. For, although 
there is a  post-office of  the  same  name as 
yours in nearly every state  in the Union,  it 
would  be  impunging  the  intelligence  of 
some thirty or forty employees of the house 
where you buy  your  goods  to assume  that 
any one of them could be  ignorant of  your 
address.

11.  When you  send  remittances  nothin 
should be  inclosed  with  the  money  to  in 
dicate whom it is from.  No  one would stef 
money unless they knew who it belonged to, 
and no reputable house will have more than 
one  customer  iu  each  town.  Hence  it 
more safe and convenient.

12.  In ordering goods  do not  name qua! 
ity,  brand,  or  price  wanted.  Order  thi 
way:  Please send one case canned oyster: 
one sack  coffee, one  barrel of  sugar.  The 
highly intelligent party who checks up your 
order  knows  exactly what  you  want,  and 
would feel offended if you specified size, style 
or color.  He  is a  good  guesser,  and keeps 
himself in practice  by guessing all  the con­
undrums  in  the  newspapers  during  the 
week,  and by guessing  at  a  mark  on  Sun­
day.
12. 

In ordering  net  cash  goods, always 
state that you want them on sixty days time, 
at  2  per  cent,  off  for  cash.  Wholesale 
grocers make  from K to 1 per cent, to % of 
nothing on such  goods, and  any  first-class, 
enterprising house should be willing to give 
you the  advantage  of  full  terms  and  dis­
counts.

Atropine is said to be  an  antidote to car­

is,  I reckon,  one

Y'oung K- 
best known 
trai,  and

freight  conductors on the Cen- 
onee in a  while it comes  his turn 

rim extra passenger.
One day last fall, after leavin’ Cli-----,  he
found a tramp, a regular old-fashioned, rum- 
soaked,  “tuff”, on the  platform of  the bag­
gage  car.  He  fired  him,  and  after  goin’ 
through the  train  opened  the rear  door of 
the last  car,  to  see if  the  red  lights were 
bumin’  all  right,  and  there  sat  old  Mr.
tramp  as  bold  as  you  please.  K--------
pulled the  bell cord  and  assisted the  bum 
off  the steps,  and signaled  the train ahead. 
Just as she was startin’,  the  tramp grabbed
K--------by the leg and pulled  him  off  the
car  into  the  ditch  and  then  run  for  the 
woods.  K--------  sat  on  the  ties  and  be­
wailed his luck  for nearly an  hour,  or until 
the train reach V------- , and having discov­
ered that they were minus a conductor, they 
uncoupled  the  engine  and  came  back for
K--------.  Mad?  Oh,  no; just indignant.

Coming  down  the  G.  R.  & I.  the  other 
day,  in  the  smokin’  ear  sat  a  dyed mus- 
tached,  rough-clad,  ill-looking  specimen of
humanity.  He got on the train at R--------,
and  when M--------came  along, gave  him a
fiver,  from which to take his fare.  M--------
had no change and told him  that lie  would 
hand it to him in a few minutes.  When he 
came hack he  gave him  what he  supposed
was  the  correct  amount.  On  M--------’s-
next trip through the  train, this party stop­
ped him  and  said “you  still  owe  me fifty
cents.”  M--------put  his  linger  up  to  his
nose, and  laughin’ly  said,  “that’s too thin,  . 
you  can’t  come  any  such  game  on  me.’’ 
Well, one  word  led  to  another,  and  they
both got mad,  and M--------gave  the fellow
an  awful  blastin’. 
Imagine  M-----’s  sur­
prise on reachin’ G-----to find  himself laid
off for thirty days,  for insultin’ the chief in­
spector of  the  railway mail  service.  Since 
then he is more careful how he uses his ton­
gue.

Did 1 know Sam T-----?  Yes,  I did,  and
a better man never  threw a  trunk  out of a 
baggage ear.  Y'es,  I saw him  get killed; it 
was rough.  You see,  he  came  in  on  No. 
28,  and  after  they run  his  train  into  the 
yards,  he  started  for  the  eatin’  house  for 
his dinner. 
I was  goin’ out  on  a  freight, 
and as Sam passed the caboose,  he  hollered 
to me  and I  passed  Jhe  time  of  day with 
ini.  Within two minutes 1 heard an awful 
screech. 
I  jumped from the  caboose,  run 
nek down the  yard  and  helped pick  Sam 
up.  Oh, lie never knew what hit him.  Cut 
in two in the middle.  Same  old  story,  en­
gine  switehin’ cars;  didn’t  hear  them; car 
:ame down the track he was walkin’ on; hit 
him;  dead.  No  one  to  blame;  “contribu­
tory negligence.”  Sad case, as he was goin’ 
to be married in a few days.

The most comical thing I have seen in some 
time took place on the West Michigan a few
weeks ago.  Johnny R-----was  makin’ his
first trip as passenger brakeman,  and it was 
hard enough  to  call  the  stations,  without 
havin’ a pretty girl  say  “good  evenin’ ” to 
him.  She  said it just  the  same,  and  the 
next time Johnny went through the car,  in­
stead of callin’ Pickands Junction,  he  cried 
out:  “Good  evenin’,  Good  evenin’.”  All 
broke up; getting over it now.

Yes,  this is where I live.  See  that  little 
woman  in the depot  door-way?  That’s my 
wife.  Oh,  yes,  we’ve two of them, boy and 
irl.  Good-day,  sir.

A  K nights  of  Labor  Grocery  Store.
The last  issue  of  the Wakefield,  Mass., 
Record,  in an  article  upon  the  Knights of 
Labor in that town, says:

A feature of the  Assembly  here is a gro­
cery store,  which  the  Knights  run  in the 
gallery of their  liall,  upon the co-operative 
plan.  Any member  of  the  Assembly is at 
liberty to take as  many  shares,  or none,  as 
he sees fit.  The goods are bought at whole­
sale and sold to  the  subscribers at the pre­
vailing retail rates.  At  stated  intervals an 
amount equal to six per cent, interest on the 
capital  invested  is  laid  by  as a sort of re­
served fund.  This is taken  from  the mon­
eys received for retail purchasers.  The bal­
ance is  then  divided  into  halves,  one-half 
going to purchase more goods, and the other 
half divided up among  the members in pro­
portion to the  amount  of  goods  they have 
bought  at  retail.  At  each  retail  sale the 
purchaser receives a ticket which shows the 
amount bought,  aiul  which  entitles  him to 
his share of the dividends at the next “grand 
divide.”  The  members,  by  this  method, 
are  saving  money  on  their  grocery  bills. 
The store is open  about every evening,  and 
is “tended” by  some  one  of  the members. 
They find it a paying institution.

Jam aica Tea.

The samples of  tea grown in the Jamaica 
Public  Gardens,  which  were forwarded  to 
London to be  reported  upon, are  said to be 
quite satisfactory, the  brokers  rating  them 
at from 60 to  64c.  a pound,  being  of  good 
flavor and  combining  to a great extent  the 
peculiar characteristics of a fine China black 
leaf and Ceylon Pekol Souchong.  They are 
of a kind peculiarly suitable to  the  London 
market.  Coffee and  sugar  being  unprofit­
able,  in all probability the Jamaica planters 
may turn their attention to planting tea.

The many friends of  Geo. McKay will be 
glad to  learn of the  improved  condition of 
his wife,  who was near  to  death’s door for 
some time.  Her recovery has been so rapid 
of late that she will soon  be able  to resume 
her housewifely duties.

A  traveling  salesman  is  going  to bring 
home the significance of the Supreme Court’s 
decision  to  the  State  of  Virginia.  He 
offered  to  pay  the  State license levied  on 
commercial travelers in coupons of the State 
debt.  The State authorities refused  these, 
in spite of the decision that  they  are  legal 
tender,  and sent him  to  prison  for  selling 
without a license.  He now sues the officials 
in the United States Court for  false impris­
onment,  and he probably will obtain  exem­
plary damages.  Nobody can sue  the  State 
of Virginia,  but the business of carrying out 
her repudiating laws can be made too costly 
for any official to take the responsibility.

W.  B.  Tyler has  sold  his  interest in the

George  J.  Gilbert,  the  grocer,  in  whose 
store,  at Burr Oak,  a fire  was discovered on 
Tuesday night,  is now under arrest on com­
plaint  signed  by  a  dozen  of  the  business 
men of the  town,  charged  with  incendiar­
ism.  His bail is fixed at $1,000. 
It is said 
he  had  taken  insurance  in  three  or  four 
companies to  the  amount  of  $3,100  on  a 
stock  and  fixtures  of  not  over  $800  or 
$1,000.

The  affairs  of  Taleen  &  Johnson,  the 
Ishpeming firm which failed for $50,000 last 
January,  are much mixed.  Ernest Tulberg, 
jr.,  a partner, now  in  his home in Sweden, 
made a deposition  before  leaving  Chicago, 
implicating  John  A.  Taleen  and  John W. 
Jocliim.  Jocliim was a partner in the house 
until  last  May,  when  he  retired  from  the 
firm, Tulberg taking his place.  Taleen says 
that he never  was a partner, but  the  agent 
of Jochim.  The  assignment  was  made  to 
Jocliim at the time of the failure.  Creditors 
think  they have  sufficient  proof to make it 
unpleasant for both Jochim and Taleen, but 
these  gentlemen  denounce  Tulberg  as  an 
upstart and imposter who tricked them.

The great railroad strike in the Southwest 
has not come to an end so promptly  as  was 
announced.  While the strike was  in prog­
ress the companies strained  every  nerve  to 
obtain men in the places of  those  who  had 
left.  To a great extent they succeeded, and 
Mr.  Iloxie now announces that he needs but 
a few more men to complete his  force.  On 
the other hand,  the  Knights  stand  by  the 
usual rule in such cases that all who  struck 
must be taken back or  none  will  return  to 
work.  This the men  are  compelled  to  do 
by  the  rules  of  their  organization.  Mr. 
Iloxie  and  other  railroad  managers  fore­
saw this when they employed the new men. 
This act was a decision to fight the battle to 
the last extremity,  and to take back none of 
the strikers.  And then the struggle entered 
upon  a  new  phase.  Open  violence  was 
offered and several  collisions  have occurred 
between the strikers  and  officers.  As rail­
road property is the -least  defensible  of  all 
property from its peculiar character,  and  as 
its safety depends on the  law-abiding spirit 
of  the  whole  community,  it  requires  noi 
prophet  to  foretell t that  there  are stormy 
times  ahead  for  the  roads  in  the  Gould 
system.

Lowell will undoubtedly be the next town 
to place itself in the line of progress, the re­
tail dealers  of that  place  having  taken the 
initial steps toward  the  effecting  of  an or­
ganization.

The Life of a Bank Check.

A case of peculiar interest to bankers and 
business men who handle commercial paper 
was recently decided by Judge  Chipman,  in 
the Superior  Court at  Detroit. 
It  appears 
that on  Saturday, August 8,  1885,  Ilarmon 
S.  Holmes,  a  merchant  at  Chelsea,  sold 
some live stock to  Charles Roe.  The tran­
saction  occurred in  Detroit  and  Roe  gave 
Holmes a check on Vincent J. Scott’s bank. 
Instead  of  presenting  the  check  for  pay­
ment,  Holmes carried it home and deposited 
it with  the  Citizens’  Bank  of  Chelsea  for 
collection.  When  the  case  came  to  trial, 
the  Detroit  correspondent  of  the  Chelsea 
bank^the  Mechanics’  Bank,  claimed  that 
the check was not  received  by them until 1 
o’clock on Monday, too  late  to have it han­
dled at the local clearing house.  On  Tues­
day the check  was  dishonored,  as on  Mon­
day night Scott’s bank had forever closed its 
doors.  Holmes  sought  to  recover  on  the 
check,  but  Roe’s  counsel  contended  that 
Holmes  had  been  guilty  of  negligence in 
not using proper diligence in presenting the 
check at Scott’s.bank; that  the  rule  of law 
was  that  a check  ought  to  be  presented 
for collection  within  two  days  after being 
made;  that  the  transaction  having  been 
made, and the parties both being here when 
the  check  was  made,  the  collection  of  it 
should have been made here direct; and fur­
ther, that the  clearing house  is for the con­
venience of banks and  not  for private indi­
viduals.

Judge  Chipman  took  the  case  from  the 
jury and rendered a verdict  for  defendant.
The matter involves new phases in so  far 
as  clearing-houses  are  concerned,  as  ques­
tions of their liability on  commercial paper 
may arise,  if delay occurs in handling it.

Good Words Unsolicited.

John Singler. druggist, Scott, Ind.:  “ It  is  a 

very good paper.’’

Geo.  Truax,  grocer.  Spring  Lake:  “I  like 

the paper very much.”

Burdick & Co., general dealers, Mendon: “We 
think your paper a  very  instructive  and use­
ful sheet.”

W. T. Long, grocer, Vicksburg:  “I  am  well 
pleased with your paper.  As it grows older, it 
gets better.”

Harwood  Lumber.

“White and black ash are  dull  and stag­
nant,”  said  Elias  Matter,  the  other  day, 
“owing V> the fact that  little of  either var­
iety is used by the  furniture  manufacturers 
at present.  White and red oak are in active 
demand,  and the same is true of dry maple, 
especially rock maple.”

Woonsocket  Rubber  Co.,  “L.  Candee  & 
Co.,”  Goodyear  M.  I.  R.  Co.  (Wales-Good- 
year Co.),  Hayward Rubber Co. commenced 
operations  April 1.  The  organization is to 
last  for  seven  years.  The  five  companies 
have capacity for making $25,000,000 worth 
a  year  of  rubber  boots  and  shoes.  They 
have established  the  following line  of  dis­
counts from May 1.

The cash discount to retail trade for  pre­

Pepsin of higher digestive power and con­
taining less mucus can be better obtained by 
treating  the  dissected  inner  coat  of  the 
stomachs than by  treating the  whole stom­
achs.  The reason  of  this  higher digestive 
power is,  probably, that less of the strength 
of the gastric  juice  is  wasted,  there  being 
less material where the dissected  coat is us­
ed upon  which it can  expend  itself  in the 
process of maceration.

By using the  above  process,  pepsin,  free 
from mucus, can be obtained  that  will dis­
solve 350 to 400  times  its  weight of coagu­
lated  albumen.  When  made  from 
the 
whole stomachs the  pepsin  dissolves about 
three  hundred times  its  weight  of  coagu­
lated albumen. 
In both of  the  above tests 
the United States  Pharmacopoeia method of 
assay was  used.  Pepsin  carefully made in 
this way contains  no  mucus. 
It  does con­
tain salt but dot an injurious amount.  This 
small amount of salt can be  completely  re­
moved,  if  desired, by  redissolving the pep­
sin and  precipitating  with  alcohol.

There are many particular brands of pep­
sin in  the market,  and  for  most  of  them 
greater digestive power,  of course,  is claim­
ed than  can  be  found in  any other  pepsin 
in commerce.  Upon examination the writer 
has found  that  some  of the  brands, about 
which the most  extravagant  statements are 
made, test the lowest,  when all are examin­
ed by a common standard (the United States 
Pharmacopoeia method of assay).  Thereason 
of  this  is  that  some  manufacturers  have 
special assay methods printed upon their la­
bels,  and when tested  by this  process  their 
own article will appear to be a superior one.

And the variety of methods used by man­
ufacturers for testing pepsin seems to be ex­
ceeded only by the variety of processes used 
for  manufacturing  the  article, no two pro­
prietors seeming  to use  the  same  process. 
The difference  in  manufacturing  processes 
is not in itself  objectionable.  The  trouble 
is the products are  unlike.  Some  samples 
contain  other  substances  than  pepsin  in 
large proportions.  One firm now advertises

A Recipe for P retty Eyebrows.

From the  Chemist and Druggist.

The Pall Mall Gazette of  March 2, quot­
ing the Boston Journal,  says:  “To  obtain 
beautiful oriental eyebrows, anoint the roots 
with a balsam made of  two drams of  nitric 
oxide of  mercury  mixed  with  one  of  leaf 
lard.  After an application, wash the  roots 
with  a  camel-hair  brush  dipped  in  warm 
milk.  Tiny scissors  are  used  with which 
the lashes  are  carefully  but  slightly  trim­
med  every  day.  When  once  obtained, re­
frain  from  rubbing  or  even  touching  the 
lids  with  the  finger-nails.”  The  weaker 
sex may make a rush for  this  new  beauti- 
fier,  and chemists will  do  well  to supply a 
mild citrine  ointment.  But  Cui bonof  If 
a  fair  damsel  awake  one  morning  from 
sweet  visions  engendered  by the  ‘ ‘pretty I Fir^ 
eyebrows,”  will  the  delicate  fingers  not 
travel eyewards as before?  Then— but  the 
new ointment may give  work  to the unepa- 
ployed.

ficulties.

The World’s Production of Quinine.

duction of  quinine  in  1885  emanates from 
what is described  as “a most  reliable quar­
ter,” in London:

Several  exchanges  have  lately called at­
tention  to  the  fact  that  a  combination  of 
muriate of ammonia  and  powdered extract 
of licorice  will  disguise  the  bitter taste of 
quinine.  Equal  parts  of  the  three  sub­
stances are taken,  except when  small doses 
of quinine are to be given, when proportion­
ately  larger  quantities  of  the  extract  of 
licorice may be added.

Only the washed and  dissected  inner coat 
of the stomachs of  the  animals  (generally 
of the pig. but those of  sheep may be used) 
jjpg received.  These  portions of  the stout 
achs are then  chopped  finely.  This can be 
done in one of the ordinary cutting machines 
used in meat markets, the  power being fur­
nished  either  by  steam  or  hand.  Fifty 
stomachs can be  macerated  in a large-sized 
barrel 
(forty-five  gallons).  The  barrel 
should  be  about  three-fourths  filled  with 
water and  then acidultated  with 1 quart of 
muriatic acid  (30 per  cent.)  The stomachs 
are left to  macerate  in  this weak  acid for 
forty-eight hours,  stirring  occasionally. 
If 
necessary the  temperature  should  be  kept 
down with ice to prevent decomposition and 
avoid a subsequent disagreeable odor.  The 
solution  is  now strained  through  a coarse
Trade is good.  The  feature  in the  mar

lower.  Oils sassafras  and  peppermint and 
citric acid  are  easier.  Oil  cloves  has  ad- 
anced.
A  druggist  who  was  interviewed  by  a 
newspaper  reporter  is  reported  as saying: 
If the public are taught  to  demand cheap 
prices,  they  can  only  blame  themselves  if 
they get cheap drugs  and  those  inferior in 
quality. 
It is no less so  in the  drug  busi­
ness than in  others.  Yet  there  are plenty 
of people in our own city who  will go from 
drug store to  drug  store  getting  estimates 
on  prescriptions,  entirely  forgetting  this 
fact, and  taking  risks  on  human  life and 
health for the sake  of  a few  cents.”  This 
is a sound  argument which  might  be used 
by druggists much more freely than it is.

The mucus and  other  impurities are sep­
arated from  the  pepsin  by adding  a small 
portion of  salt (8 kilos)  to  each  bairel and 
stirring  energetically  for  several  minutes 
with a paddle.  This  brings the  impurities 
(mucus, etc.)  and a small  amount of pepsin 
to the  surface,  and  in a  few  minutes they 
dimmed  oil.  Now, add  a  larger 
portion of salt (28 kilos)  and repeat the vig­
orous agitation of  the  contents  of  the bar­
rel.  The quality of salt should be ordinary 
table salt. 
It must  be  fine,  so  that  it will 
dissolve readily. 
It is preferable to add the 
salt itself instead  of  a  solution.  The pep­
sin will now collect on the top of the liquid. 
This is skimmed off and  placed  upon mus­
lin cloths to drain.

The Drug Market.

When partially drained it is well to wash 
the pepsin with water,  to free it  from some 
of the salt,  which is quite  difficult to separ­
ate.  After being left to drain about twenty 
four hours,  transfer  to  bags  (made of  can­
ton flannel),  a ¡small  amount  being  placed 
in layers,  with  planks  between,  in an ordi 
nary small cider press.

After remaining in the press  a few hours 
the pepsin comes out in cakes that are tough, 
and in appearance  something like old leath 
er. 
It is  then  ready  to dry.  This should 
be done  in a  draught  of  cool air.  The re 
mainder of the salt soon begins  to effloresce 
and  appear  in  the  outer  part of  the frag' 
ments  of  pepsin.  The  salt  should  be  re-

A serious mistake  was made  recently by 
a Mariette druggist in filling  a prescription, 
by putting three  ounces of chloral  in place 
of three drams.  Two doses of the compound 
were given,  and nearly proved fatal.  After 
the first dose the patient  slept  four  hours, 
and after the second  dose, which was given 
in the afternoon,  she slept till morning,  and 
it  was  quite  difficult  to  rouse  her.  The 
medicine was then taken and analyzed when 
it  was found that that she  had been receiv­
ing forty-five  grains  at  a  dose  instead  of 
ten.

A check for the quarter’s rent was ordered 

drawn on the treasury.

The following letter was read by the Sec­

retary:

Gr a n d R a p id s,  April 5,  1886. 
Retail Grocer’s Association, Grand Rapids.

Gentlemen—Since  accepting your invi 
tation to appear  before  you  to discuss  the 
subject of “Adulterated Groceries,” at your 
next meeting,  I find that this subject, which 
I consider  of  great  importance  not only to 
the retail grocer,  but to  every  consumer in 
Michigan,  is  most  comprehensive,  embrac­
ing  many  matters  which  are  worthy  the 
careful  thought  and  immediate  action  of 
those who desire the introduction and main­
taining of a higher standard—higher grades 
of groceries of all kinds; hence, the time al­
lotted for the  preparation  of  this subject I 
find inadequate and must  claim your indul­
gence in  asking for  a postponement of  its 
discussion,  for  the  present,  promising you 
I  will  make  good  my  engagement  at  the 
earliest possible date.  Yours truly,

S.  M.  L em on.

The letter was laid  on  the  table and Mr. 

Lemon granted two weeks’ further time.

Several volunteers were instracted to wait 
on those  grocers who  have not  yet  joined 
the  Association,  and  endeavor  to  secure 
their application for  membership,  when the 
meeting adjourned for two weeks.

Never to  our knowledge  has  any  medicine 
met with the success as  has  Golden  Seal  Bit­
ters.  It  comprises  the best  remedies  of the 
vegetable kingdom so as to derive the greatest 
medicinal  effect,  and  is  making  wonderful 
cures.

SELLING  CONSUMERS.

Jobbers to  be  Asked  to  Make  No  Excep­

tions.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of  the 
Retail Grocers’ Association, which was held 
•on the  6th,  was  well  attended.  Horton & 
Perkins were elected  members of the Asso­
ciation.

The  special  committee  appointed  to  se­
cure the signatures of  the  jobbers and com­
mission merchants to  an  agreement not  to 
sell to consumers reported that  some would 
sign  only  with the understanding that  they 
would be allowed to furnish hotels,  restaur­
ants and boarding houses.

E.  E.  Walker was of the opinion that gro­
cers ought not to  buy of an agent who sells 
the hotels.

F. J.  Dettentha ler expressed similar  sen­

timents.

E.  A.  Stowe  asserted  that  he  was  pub­
lishing the agreement in Tiie  Tradesman 
under a misapprehension as to  its meaning. 
He thought it meant what it said.  Under the 
present  aarangement,  the  door  is  opened 
wide enough to allow the  jobber to sell any 
housekeeper  who  has  boarder,  and  in the 
absence of a boarder,  the  lady of  the house 
can call her son a  boarder and  come in un­
der the resolution relative to restaurants and 
■boarding houses.  He would either name of 
the exceptions to the agreement or allow no 
exceptions.

President Herrick suggested that the Mor­
ton,  Sweet's,  Eagle,  Clarendon and  Bridge 
street houses be excepted in the  agreement.
E.  E.  Walker  moved  that  all  the  hotels 
be excluded  from  the  agreement  and that 
the jobbing  houses be  given  the choice  of 
¡selling the regular trade or the hotels.

Milo G.  Randall suggested that the agree­
ment be modified so as to allow  the  jobbers 
to sell the hotels unbroken packages, such as 
a barrel of sugar or a  chest of tea.  Unless 
the Association does so  he  thought  the ho­
tel men would buy their supplies of  outside 
jobbers.

E.  A.  Stowe stated that there was no rea­
son why  the agreement  should not  include 
the  jobbers  at  other  markets,  as  well  as 
Grand Rapids. 
It  should  be  the policy of 
all dealers to refuse  to  buy of  jobbers who 
insisted  upon  selling  hotels  and  restaur­
ants.

E.  E.  Walker said that  the first  thing he 
asked a traveling from  Detroit  or  Chicago 
was whether he sold the hotels  and restaur­
ants. 
If he answered in the affirmative that 
ended the interview.

W. C.  Harper  moved  as  an  amendment 
to Mr.  Walker’s motion that it be the  sense 
of this association  that  the members  ought 
to  refuse  to  patronize  any  jobbing  house 
which makes a practice  of  selling goods to 
consumers.

Walter Meech thought the  language used 
by Mr.  Harper was  too  strong,  savoring of 
severity.

Mr.  Harper  said  he  might  have' said 
■“cheerfully  desist  from  patronizing,”  in­
stead of “refuse to  patronize,” but declined 
to place the Association in an equivocal pos­
ition.

President Herrick said he believed in put­
ting  such  statements  in  plain  works,  and 
in making them good by practice.

The motion and amendment  were carried 
and the  same  committee—Messrs.  Walker, 
Coye and DeJager—were  instructed  to pre­
sent the matter to the jobbers again, Messrs. 
Dunaven,  Elliott  and  Harper  having been 
appointed to assist in the work.

E. E.  Walker said  he was  already begin­
ning  to  feel  the  effects  of  the  agreement 
with jobbers.  He had  had several calls for 
a certain brand of soap in box lots and offer­
ed  it  to  the  customer  at  an  advance  of  7 
cents, on first cost.  He  was  invariably in­
variably  informed  that  the  customer  was 
buying at 7  cents  less,  which  lead  him to 
think that the  jobber  or  manufacturer was 
selling the consumer as  cheap  as they were 
the dealer.

The special committee on  Market report­
ed that the  subject of establishing  a public 
market had been decided adverse to the As­
sociation, on  account  of  a  provision  in the 
charter which would  prevent  such  a move­
ment being a  success.  The  committee was 
instructed to proceed with the peddler nuis­
ance and endeavor to  secure  the enactment 
-of an ordinance,  providing  that  every ped-1

Decline of the  Kalam azoo  Celery Industry. 
From the Kalamazoo Gazette.

A well-known celery king of  this city be­
ing questioned a few  days ago by a Gazette 
reporter as to what the prospects of the cel­
ery crop were this  season,  gave  expression 
to an exceedingly pessimistic  view  relative 
to the future of  this  industry,  by  which so 
much wealth is yearly drawn to Kalamazoo. 
He may be a croaker,  but his  views are cer­
tainly worthy  of  some  consideration.  He 
said:

“The bottom is  going  to  fall  out of  the 
celery business in Kalamazoo  one  of  these 
days.  Of course I’d  advise  people to stick 
to it just as long as  there is  any  money in 
it, but I’ll give you a pointer, those who get 
their living entirely out of celery had better 
be  looking  around  for  something  to  fall 
back on when  they  get  to  the  jumping off 
place.”

“What’s the matter with celery?”
“There isn’t as much money in it as there 
It’s  getting worse  every  year 

used to be. 
and newspaper men are to  blame for it.”

“We—to blame for it!”
“Yes,  sir.  The  newspapers of  the town 
have  boomed  celery  until  people  outside 
havq begun  to think  that  there  is  a  gold 
mine in this  vegetable.  Kalamazoo  news­
papers have published the immense amounts 
of celery shipped from here  during the sea­
son,  so many tons a day, they  have  figured 
out how  many  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
dollars are brought to the city every year by 
the sale of this crop; they have told how the 
industry gives employment to a great  num­
ber of  people,  and have  whooped it  up on 
the subject so often  and  so long that enter­
prising business men outside of  Kalamazoo 
have  begun  to  look  around  and  inquire 
whether they can’t have  a  slice of this rich 
thing,  also;  why  they  can’t  go  to  raising 
celery, too.  When a man has a good thing, 
I  believe  in  keeping it  quiet.  There  are 
thousands of acres of low land in  Michigan 
just as  well  adapted  to  raising  celery  as 
those about this city.  There are  thousands 
of men who are  just as  intelligent and who 
will learn just as readily  how  to raise it as 
the  Hollanders  around  Kalamazoo.  They 
have begun raising celery in other localities. 
I used to  ship considerable  celery to  Jack- 
son,  but  they  have  begun  raising it there,
and I did  not  fill a  single  order from that 
city last season. 
In a score  or more locali­
ties in  this  State  they  have  begun raising 
celery in a  small way,  and  in several local­
ities last year it was grown  in quite respect­
able quantities.  What  is true of  Michigan 
is true of other states.  There  are plenty of 
places in the United States in  which I used 
to  have  a  good  business, but  to  which  I 
didn’t ship a single stalk last season.  They 
have  begun  raising  celery  themselves  in 
quantities  sufficient  to  supply  local  con­
sumption.

“It won’t be many years before the celery 
business will become a local business.  Mar­
ket gardeners will select suitable land in the 
vicinity of all the large towns and will raise 
celery,  just as they  now raise  radishes and 
lettuce,  to supply the home demand.  When 
that time  comes, celery  raisin& t Kalama­
zoo will dwindle  down  in magnitude  to an 
agricultural industry of  very much  smaller 
proportions than now.

“Oh,  I don’t lay it all on  you  newspaper 
fellows,  either.  The hoggishness of the ex­
press  companies  is  what  is  ruining  our 
business.  Notwithstanding 
the  immense 
amounts of  celery  shipped  from  here, the 
express companies  give  rates  on this  class 
of business but very  little  better  than they 
do on  any  other.  They  will  ship  a  box 
of books to  Atlanta for  John  Brown,  who 
probably doesn’t give them -55 worth of bus­
iness a year, just as  cheap as they will  for 
a celery dealer  who  gives  them  thousands 
of dollars’ worth.  The  express  companies 
are making a good thing  out  of it now,  but 
they  are  killing  the  goose  that  lays  the 
golden eggs.  What  better  inducement can 
a  market  gardener living  within  20  or  80 
miles of Boston have for raising celery than 
the fact that it costs  as much to get a dozen 
celery to the metropolis  as  the  celery costs 
in this city.”

Commercial Museums.

A rather novel project is under considera­
tion in Austria,  namely,  the  establishment 
of a general commercial  museum.  A short 
time ago the director of the Austrian Orien­
tal museum conceived the idea of transform­
ing that institution into a great museum de­
voted to commercial purposes,  and  his plan 
is now being  considered  by representatives 
of the Government and commercial corpora­
tions  of  the  country.  According  to  the 
plan the museum is  intended  to collect and 
examine all possible data respecting the pro­
duction,  the consumption,  and  the traffic of 
all countries.  The museum  will  also  con­
tain collections  of  articles  that  can be ex­
ported to or imported from foreign markets. 
It will be in  direct  correspondence with all 
foreign chambers of commerce,  and will es­
tablish offices where information can be  ob­
tained as to the state  of  credit and the con­
dition of trade in foreign parts.  The scheme 
is gigantic,  though  one  which it  is  highly 
probable will be necessitated  in time by the 
exigencies of a highly developed and widely 
extended  commerce.  The  location  chosen 
for the initiation of the enterprise, however, 
does not sqpm  to be the  most  promising in 
the world.  Such an  institution  would find 
a more congenial and natural home in  a city 
like London or New York.

*  A Word to Potato Growers.

Tom Morehouse,  the  South  Water  street 
commission  merchant,  writes  the  Grand 
Traverse Herald  as follows  relative to the 
best varieties of potatoes to plant:

I am  handling  potatoes  extensively,  and 
have been  for  the  past  eighten  years; and 
would  advise  all  growers  to  discard  the 
Rose, both early and late.  They have passed 
their usefulness  and  have run out. 
I have 
had  trouble  for  the  past  two  years  with 
them.  They cut red inside and  are not the 
potato they were  three years  ago.  Clark’s 
number one and two are not good  for  mar­
ket,  neither are White Elephants.  I am not 
speaking for Chicago’s market only. 
I was 
in  New  York,  Boston,  Philadelphia  and 
Baltimore in February  last,  and  found  the 
same expression there among dealers.  The 
best varieties for farmers  to raise are Early 
Ohio, for  an  early  potato; for  late  potato, 
the Burbanks,  Snowflakes,  White  Star  and 
Peerless. 
I intend buying more extensively 
than ever  next  fall, and  I  would  not con­
tract Elephants, Clark’s number one or two, 
or Rose,  late or early,  if  they  were offered 
me at 10 cents per bushel.
Significance of the  Signature  of a Married 

Woman.

The  Tradesman  is  in  receipt  of  the 

following enquiries:

Please state whether the  wife  who holds 
property in her name is liable if  she signs a 
note with her husband  to secure more  time 
in his own business.
A customer wishes to  know if  a  woman 
is liable for  her husband’s  debt  when  she 
signs a note with him to the amount of said 
debt  Please answer through The Trades­
man.
As both  of the above  enquiries  are prac­
tically the same,  one  answer will suffice for 
both.  The Supreme Court  of Michigan,  as 
well  as  similar  tribunals  in  other  States, 
have repeatedly held  that a  note given by a 
married woman is not  valid  unless it is ut­
tered for her own individual indebtedness— 
that is,  indebtedness contracted for the ben­
efit of  her  own  individual  property.  The 
only way she  can be  bound is  by  giving a 
mortgage.

Mill Tally vs. Shipping Tally.

Chase, Mich., April 12. 

Editor Michigan Tradesm an:
Dear Sir—We would like to ask a ques­
tion through the columns of The  Trades­
man,  if you will allow  us.
If  there  is  ten  million  feet  of  lumber 
(mill tally) cut  by  a mill  and  piled  in the 
yard,  how much  ought  it  to  ship out?  In 
other words,  does a yard  hold out with mill 
tally, or  overrun?

Yours Respectfully,  Mill Men.

Wm.  Scott,  secretary  of  the  Putnam  & 
Barnhart  Lumber  Co.,  says  the  mill tally 
ought to run  over  the  subsequent  scaling, 
as it is generally calculated that it will hold 
out  sufficient  to  make  up  for  the  usual

Valentia Orange Crop.

The crop of Valentia oranges  this year is 
f  said to be  very good  and  considerably lar­
i’  ger than for many years past.  The amount 
available  for  export  is  expected  to  reach 
*  2,000,000  boxes,  aggregating  no less  than 

900,000,000 oranges.

Hides, Pelts and Furs.

Hides are unchanged.  Pelts are lower and 
dull.  Furs are a little lower.  Wool is low­
er.  Tallow is lower and very weak.

D. S. Hopkins,  the well-known architect, 
has just issued a fine cottage portfolio,  con­
taining twelve lithographic  designs  of  low 
cost houses,  in various postions.  The work 
comprises  forty-three  illustrations,  and  is 
well worth the  price asked,  $1 per volume.

Dehesa Raisins.

The origin of the word “Dehesa*  is quite 
interesting.  The  Spanish  dictionaries  do 
not  enlighten  us  upon  the  subject  further 
than that “dehesa” means pasture,  and that 
“deliesar” is a verb that means  to  put  into 
pasture any land  not  so  used,  and the con­
nection between the  pasture  and the raisin 
brand is not explained.  The  true origin of 
the word is this: 
Iu the  thirteenth century 
the Moors were expelled from Spain.  Hith­
erto these people had  constituted  the  most 
industrious  part  of  the  population,  and it 
was through them that the country had been 
irrigated and  cultivated to  such  an  extent 
that  it  was  the  most  fertile  part  of  the 
world.  When the Moors were expelled, the 
most fertile part of Estremadura and Anda­
lusia were turned into  sheep  pastures,  and 
the  sheep  husbandry  increased  so  rapidly 
that it soon became  the  most  important in­
dustry in Spain.  These once  fertile plains 
were left  to  themselves  and  soon  became 
overgrown with weeds and  shrubbery.  To 
these pastures the Merino sheep were driven 
every winter,  and in the  summer they were 
taken up into the cooler mountains. 
It was 
found that  this  change  of  diet was highly 
beneficial to the  sheep,  and  very remunera­
tive to the owners,  in consequence of which 
the latter  became  rich  and  powerful, and, 
in opposition to the people of the plains, or­
ganized a formidable  association  called the 
Mesta.  To the  cultivators of  the  soil this 
Mesta must have been something  similar to 
what  the  cowboys  of  Arizona  are  to  the 
more  peaceful  cultivators  of  that  region. 
When bands of thousands of sheep traversed 
the  cultivated  fields  regardless  of roads or 
crops,  it  may well  be  understood what in­
jury was done the tillers  of  the soil.  This 
outrageous sheep monopoly, the Mesta, held 
sway for about 400 years,  and was not abol­
ished until the beginning of the present cen­
tury-1817.  These  pasture  lands,  which 
were known  as  “dehesas,”  and  which  for 
centuries had been idle and  manured by the 
sheep, were at last sold.  On one of the fin­
est dehesas a raisin  vineyard  was  planted, 
and the  raisins  produced  were  of unusual 
size  and  quality.  Such  raisins  they  had 
never seen before.  From  this  time on De­
hesa became the name, not  only of the  fin­
est raisins,  but for the finest  fruit generally 
in  Spain.

He Wrote a Check  Right Off.

From the Detroit Free Press.

The other  day a  farmer-looking  man en­
tered a Griswold  street bank  with a  check 
which he liauded  to  the  paying-teller,  and 
which  was  at  once  returned  to  him  with 
the remark:

“No money here.”
“What!  Are you out  of money?”  asked 

the caller. 
“Oh,  no. 

I  mean  that  the  man  whose 
name is signed there  has  no money on  de­
posit here.”

“Is that so?  Why,  lie’s one of the nicest 

*

men I ever met.”

anything here.”

“That may be, but his  check  isn't  worth 

“Isn’t, eh?  Why,  lie  boarded with  me a 
whole  month,  and  we  think  everything of 
him.  Maybe he’s  got  money  here and it’s 
mislaid somewhere.”

“The check  is worthless,  sir.  He  never 

had a dollar  on deposit here.”

“Never did,  eh?  I don’t see how it comes 
about.*  When  I  asked  him  for  his  board 
money he wrote this  check  out as quick as 
a wink.  You couldn’t pay it  and trust him 
for the money,  eh?”

The teller  looked  at  him in  a sorrowful 
way for a moment,  and the  man continued:
“You’d better do that way,  I hate to hurt 

his feelings, you know.”

“Say,  that check is worthless, and I don’t 
want you to bother  me,”  exclaimed the tel­
ler.

“You  don’t,  eh?  Well;  I  won’t;  but  I 
think it’s a  mean  sort  of  a  trick  on  your 
part.  When a man goes and writes a check 
right off  like  he  did  it  ought  to  be  paid. 
When I go  home and  he  asks  me  if I got 
the money do  you  s’pose  I’m  going to tell 
him what you’ve said?  Not much! 
I don’t 
hurt nobody’s feelings,  if I can help it.”

The  Grocery  Market.

Business and collections are both satisfac­
tory.  Sugars have at last taken an upward 
turn,  hard  sugars  having  advanced  about 
three-sixteenths  and  soft  sugars  about an 
eighth.  Kerosene  oil  has  declined  three- 
eighths of a cent and will  probably go low­
er.  Dried  currants  are  higher  and a  still 
further advance is  looked  for.  Other arti- 
cles in the grocery line are about steady.

Candy is  in  fair  demand  and  prices are 
steady.  Nuts of all kinds are steady at last 
week’s prices.  Oranges are in  good supply 
and unchanged.  Lemons  are  in  moderate 
supply and prices  are  gradually advancing. 
They  are  almost  sure  to  rule  high  all 
through the season.

W hat Not  to  Buy.

From the Hartford Post.

‘ ‘Good morning, Cicely my dear,” exclaim­
ed her intimate as she called  in on her way 
on a shopping tour. 
‘ ‘Do go down and help 
me to select a new spring wrap.  Now that’s 
a good dear.”

“Why,  now,  it really  is impossible.  You 
know 1 helped you select your winter cloak, 
and you  always  thought  it  was  a  horrid 
thing.”

“True; but  this  time,  you  know,  I  only 
want your judgment so as to know what not 
to buy.”

No woman ever consented  to  such condi­

tions,  and no woman ever will.

celona.

“Too Many Irons in the Fire.”

From the Boston Budget.

This is an old proverb,  another version of 
which is:  “He that hath too many irons in 
the  fire,  some  of  them  will  burn.”  This 
morsel of  metaphorical  wisdom,  evidently 
the work of a  blacksmith,  is,  of  course,  in­
tended as a warning against undertaking toe 
much,  and,  at first  sight,  sounds like a pru­
dential maxim,  well adapted  to secure effic­
iency and singleness of  aim  on the  part of 
all workers.  But,  more closely considered, 
the precept shows  itself  for  what  it really 
is,  a piece of narrow-minded petty prudence, 
adapted only for the guidance of  incapables 
and fools.

The fact is, nobody who  is  good for any­
thing  tleeds  any  such  cowardly  caution 
about having  “too  many irons  in  the fire.” 
Your active,  efficient  characters,  they  who 
do the largest share of  work  in the  world, 
are the men who want and will have a great 
many  “irons  in  the  fire.”  Shovel,  poker, 
tongs and a& these masterly workmen keep 
them  always  hot  and  always  busy.  The 
rapidity  of  their  daily  accomplishment  is 
only equaled by its variety.  Both their com­
binations and  their  execution  are  such  as 
perplex and  startle  little  minds  and  lead 
them to repeat  in  full  chatter  much  such 
petty maxims as the one  now under consid­
eration. 
It is by such men tiiat human pro­
gress is advanced, inventions and discoveries 
are made,  fortunes afe  won, and  all valua­
ble improvements and reforms are achieved.

A bank authorized by its charter to deal in

State  of  Tennessee  vs.  Nashville  Savings

Where  a  manufacturer  residing  in  one 
city receives  through  his  agent residing in 
another an order  for beer  from a  customer 
there  and fills the  order  by  delivering the 
beer to  a  common  carrier  at  the  place of 
manufacture, consigned to such customer at 
his place of  residence or  to such  agent for 
him, there being  nothing  in the transaction 
indicating a  different  intention,  the  sale is 
complete,  and the title  passes  at the  place 
of shipment,  even  though the  customer  on 
receiving the beer at his  place of  residence 
pays to such agent there the purchase price. 
So held by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin.

A G R E E M E N T ----- P E R FO R M A N C E —  S A T IS F A C ­

T IO N .

A contract for making  certain changes in 
steam boilers provided that the boilers were 
to be  paid for  as  soon  as  the  persons for 
whom the changes were  made  were  “satis­
fied that the  boilers  as  changed  are a suc­
cess.”  The  New York  Court  of  Appeals 
held that  payment  did  not  depend  on  the 
arbitrary determination  of  the  persons for 
whom the changes were made,  but that  the 
boiler company were entitled  to  compensa­
tion when  it had  fully performed  its work 
If there was no complaint of  it.  The  court 
said:  “Performance mnst of  course accord 
with the  terms of  the  contract;  but if  the 
defendants  are  at  liberty to  ttetermine for 
themselves  when  they  are  satisfied  there 
would  be  no  obligation,  and  consequently 
no  agreement  that  could  be  enforced.” 
After citing a number of cases hearing upon 
the point involved the court added:  “In the 
case before us the work  required to be done 
was specified and was completed; the defen­
dants  made  it  available,  and  continued  to 
use  the  boilers  without  objection  or com­
plaint  If  there  was  full  performance  on 
the plaintiff’s part  nothing  more  could  be 
required,  and the  time  for payment bad ar­
rived, for,  according  to  -the doctrine of  the 
above  cases,  ‘that which the law will  say a

contracting  party ought in reason to be sat­

IN S A N IT Y .

In  May,  1884,  one  Crandal  insured  his 
life for 310,000  in the  Accident  Insurance 
Company  of  North  America,  against  in­
juries effected  by ‘¡external,  accidental  or 
violent means.”  The  policy was not to ap­
ply if death  was  caused  wholly  or in part 
by bodily infirmities or disease of the insur­
ed,  and suicide was also expressly excepted. 
In June,  1884,»the  insured  committed  sui­
cide while  insane.  The  question  whether 
the company under  the  circumstances  was 
liable  was  presented  lately  before  Judge 
Dyer,  of  the United  States  District  Court 
for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, where 
a decision was rendered holding the company 
liable.  The two  chief  ]>oints  discussed in 
the case  were,  first,  whether  the  fact  that 
the insured was insane wlieu  he  committed 
suicide  rendered  the deatli  one  caused  by 
bodily injuries  effected  through  accidental 
means; and  second,  whether  the death was 
due wholly or in part  to  bodily  infirmities. 
In the  case  of  insanity  the court  held the 
act of suicide  was  no  more  the  man's act, 
in the sense of the law,  than if he had been 
impelled by an  irresistible  physical  power. 
When the  insured,  then,  took  his own  life, 
it  was  not  by  his  voluntary,  rational  act. 
The physical violence,  therefore,  which ter­
minated his  life  was  the  same as if it had 
come upon him from sources outside of him­
self,  and for  which lie  was not responsible. 
The court  said:  “It  must  be  held,  there­
fore,  that  Crandal’s  death  resulted  from 
‘bodily injuries  effected  through  external, 
accidental  and  violent  means  within  the 
meaning of the policy in suit.”  It was con­
tended  by  the  company  upon  the  second 
point that insanity was a  disease;  tiiat  the 
death  was  caused  by  disease,  and  hence 
that the company was not liable.  The court 
said that  the rule  set  up  in  behalf  of the 
company did not apply to  accident policies, 
though  it might be said that Crandal would 
not have  committed suicide  if  he  had  not 
been insane, and so that insanity was a pro­
moting cause of death,  yet,  the  court  said, 
the act of self-destruction  should be regard­
ed within the  meaning of  the policy as the 
true  and  proximate  cause  of  deatli,  and, 
therefore, the widow of the insured was en­
titled to recover on the policy.

Telephones  sometimes  make  mistakes, 
consequestly a  Flint  lady  who  telephoned 
to  Detroit 
for  ‘ ‘three  pounds  of  fancy 
cheese” received  by  express  three  cans of 
French peas.

It Is estimated  that  $6,000,000  worth of 
pipes are now useless  in  the oil districts of 
Pennsylvania in consequence  of  the failure 
of wells.
