THE  ANALYST.

I write these pages as a warning.  1 don’t 
suppose any one will profit by it.  From the 
time of  Cassandra  downward,  nobody  has 
ever paid attention  to  warnings.  But  that 
is not my affair.

A New York newspaper,  some years ago, 
gave up several columns of its valuable space 
to the question:  “What  shall  we  do with 
our boys?” 
I  perused  the  correspondence 
with a strong personal interest, for I myself 
am the proprietor of a boy—several boys, in 
point of fact;  but i  refer more particularly 
to my eldest,  aged nineteen,  as  to  whom I 
felt that it was time something was settled. 
I have a  great  belief—partly  derived  from 
the before  mentioned  correspondence,  and 
partly from my own  observation—in study­
ing a boy’s natural bent,  and finding him an 
occupation in accordance with it.  Sucli  be­
ing the case,  I began to study Augustus with 
a  view to finding  out  his  special  aptitude; 
but,  unless a really  remarkable  faculty  of 
outgrowing his trousers may be so regarded, 
I could  not  for  some  time  discover that he 
had any.  By dint,  however,  of careful  ob­
servation  and  cross-examination  of 
the 
household,  I elicited that he  was  addicted 
to making extremely offensive smells in the 
back  kitchen,  with  chemicals,  and  that 
he  had  what  is  called  a  “collection” 
of  beetles  and  other  unpleasant 
insects 
in  a  box  in  his  bed­
stuck  on  pins 
room. 
that  his 
proclivities  were  scientific,  and  I  ulti­
mately decided to make an  analyst  of him. 
Accordingly,  after disposing of sundry pain­
ful but presumably necessary  arrangements 
as to premiums, Augustus was duly articled 
to a Public Analyst. 
I  use  capital  letters 
because I observed that Mr.  Scrutin himself 
always did so.  Why, I cannot say.  Possi­
bly  a  public  analyst—without  capitals— 
would  not  command  the  same amount of 
public  confidence.  On  consideration,  I 
don’t suppose he  would.

It  appeared, 

therefore, 

Augustus’s first demand  on taking up his 
new  occupation  was a  microscope.  “And 
while  you’re  about  it,”  lie  suggested,  “it 
had better be a good one.”  At  first  I  was 
inclined to suspect that  this  was  an  artful 
device for the further indulgence  of  his en­
tomological vices,  and that  the  implement 
would be devoted  to post mortem examina­
tions of deceased caterpillars or  other  kin­
dred abominations. 
lie  assured  me, how­
ever,  that such was not  the  case, and  that 
the  microscope  was  nowadays  “the  very 
sheet-anchor  of  analytical  science.”  The 
“sheet-anchor”  completely  took  the wind 
out of my sails. 
[I feel that there is rather 
a confusion of metaphor here,  but not being 
a nautical person,  I don't feel competent  to 
set  it  right.] 
I  surrendered,  humbly  re­
marking that I supposed §25 would cover it. 
The youthful analyst laughed  me to  scorn. 
The very least, he assured  me,  that  a  good 
working microscope could be  got for would 
be §50 or §60.  Ultimately I  agreed to pur­
chase one at §50,  and  congratulated myself 
that at any rate that  was  done  with.  On 
the contrary  it  was  only  just  begun.  No 
sooner had my analyst  secured  his  micro­
scope, than he began to insist upon the pur­
chase of a number of  auxiliary  appliances, 
which,  it  appeared,  no  respectable  micro­
scope  would  be  seen  without.  He broke 
them to me by degrees.  At  first  he  only 
mentioned,  if I remember  right, an  “achro­
matic  condenser,”  at  §10.  Next  came a 
“double nose-piece”  (why “double”  I don’t 
know);  then  a  polarizing  apparatus  and a 
camera lucida  (§6);  then a micrometer and 
a microtome  (§4  more);  then  somebody’s 
prism at §3;  and  somebody  else’s  micro­
spectroscope,  at I  don’t know  how  much. 
Here,  however,  I put my foot  down. 
I am 
compelled to regard the sordid consideration 
of price,  though science doesn’t.

The microscope and its subsidiary appara­
tus were duly delivered;  but my analyst ap­
peared to be in no  particular  hurry  to con­
vey them to the  laboratory  where  he was 
studying.  On my making a remark to this 
effect he replied: 
“Haven’t taken them to 
the laboratory?  No;  and I’m  not going to. 
Mr. Scrutin  has got a  precious  sight better 
microscope  than  mine—cost  §100  without 
the little extra articles,  and they were about 
§60 more.  He’s got a microspectroscope,  if 
you like!”

I  refrained  from  arguing  the point,  and 
mildly remarked  that in that case he might 
have  used  Mr.  Scrutin’s  microscope,  and 
saved  me some §73.  But  he  rejected  the 
idea with scorn,  and explained that  his mi­
croscope was not for laboratory use, but for 
“private study.”

So far as my  observation  went, my  ana­
lyst’s private study had  hitherto  been  con­
fined to a short pipe and the last number of 
some penny dreadful;  but I did not think it 
wise to check his  new-bom  ardor;  I  con­
tented myself by observing that I only hoped 
he would  “stick to it.”

“No fear of that,” he rejoined,  as  indig­
nantly as a limpet might have  done  in  an­
swer  to  the  same  observation. 
“Why, 
microscopy  is  the  most  fascinating  study 
out.  Just take a squint at that, now.”

I looked down the tube,  but  couldn’t  see 
anything at all,  and made a remark  to  that 
effect.

“Oh, that’s becaus^you  haven’t  got  the 

focus—Now,  try aga

I tried again,  and saw a sort  of  network 

of red fiber.

“I’ll bet a dollar you  can’t  tell  me what 

this is!” he exclaimed triumphantly.

I owned the soft impeachment.
“That’s the maxillary gland of a rat.” 
“Dear me!” I said.
“Yes. 

Isn’t  it lovely?  Here’s  another. 
Now,  just look at that.”  (a queer, granular 
looking  object.)  “You  don’t  know  what 
this is?”

“Give it up,” I said.
“That’s a section of the epidermis  of  the 

great toe.”

“Great  toe!”  I  exclaimed  in  disgust. 
“What  on  earth  have  analysts  got  to  do 
with great toes?”

“Oh,  nothing particular,” he  said  airily. 
“But we like  to  have  as  much  variety as 
possible. 
I should like to have a section of 
everything,  if  I  could  get  it.  Here’s  an­
other pretty slide;  that is  the  section  of  a 
diseased potato;  and this  one  is  a  bit  of  a 
frog’s  leg.”

“Very  instructive,  I  dare  say,”  I  re­
marked;  “but I hope you haven’t made  me 
spend §73 merely to improve  your acquain­
tance with frogs’ legs and diseased potatoes. 
Mr.  Scrutin  surely  doesn’t  analyze  such 
things as these?”

“I can’t say we do  much  in  frogs’ logs,” 
he said;  “but there are lots of  tilings  adul­
terated with potato.  Flour and  arrowroot, 
and  butter,  and  cocoa,  and—and—a  heap 
of things.  And the potatoes just  as  likely 
to be deceased as not. 
It may  be,  anyhow, 
and there you are! 
If you don’t know what 
diseased potato looks like,  your done.”

“A pleasant lookout,” I  replied,  “if half 
a dozen of the commonest  articles  of  food 
are habitually adulterated.”

“Bless you,  that’s  nothing,”  he  replied. 
“If that was  all,  there  wouldn’t  be  much 
harm done.  There are a  jolly sight  worse 
adulterations  than  that. 
In  fact,  pretty 
nearly everything’s  adulterated,  and  some 
of ’em with rank poisons.”

“Rank poisons!  That’s  manslaughter!” 
“Oh,  no;  it  isn’t,”  he  calmly  rejoined. 
“Of course they don’t put in enough to  kill 
you right off.  And  if  you  find  something 
disagreeing with you you can’t  swear  what 
it  is. 
It  may  be  the  nux  vomica  in  the 
beer;  but it’s just as likely to be  entozoa  in 
the water, or copper  in  the  last  bottle  of 
pickles.  However,  you’re  all  right  now. 
With an analyst in the family,  at  any  rate, 
you shan’t be poisoned  without knowing it. 
I’ll let you know  what  you  are  eating  and 
drinking.  This fellow”—and he patted the 
microscope affectionately—“will tell you all 
about  that.”

And it did.  From that day forth  I  have 
never enjoyed a meal, and I never expect to 
do so again, 
I have always been particular 
to deal  at  respectable  establishments,  and 
to pay a fair price,  in the hope  of  insuring 
a good article. 
I have, or had,  a very toler­
able apetite,  and  till  that  dreadful  micro­
scope came into the house  I  used  to  get  a 
good deal  of  enjoyment  out  of  life.  But 
now all is changed.  My  analyst  began  by 
undermining my faith in our  baker.  Now, 
if there was one of our tradesmen in whom, 
more than another,  I had confidence,  it was 
the baker,  who supplied what seemed to me 
a  good,  solid,  satisfying  article,  with  no 
nonsense  about  it.  But  one  day,  shortly 
after  the  conversation I have recorded,  my 
analyst  remarked  at  breakfast time:  “We 
had a turn at bread yesterday at  the labora­
tory—examined  five  samples;  and  found 
three o f’m adulterated.  And do you know” 
—holding up a piece of our own  bread  and 
smelling  it  critically—“I rather fancy this 
of ours is rather  dickey.”

“Nonsense?”  I  cried.  “It’s  very  good 

bread—capital bread,”

“ You may think so,” he  continued calm­
ly;  “but you’re not an analyst.  I shall take 
a sample of this to the laboratory,  and  you 
shall have my report upon it.”

“Take it, by all means.  But if  you  find 
anything  wrong  about  that  bread,  I’ll eat 
my hat!”

“Better not make any rash promises.  I’ll 
take a good big sample,  and  you  shall have 
my report on it to-night.”

On his return home in the evening, he be 
gan:  “I’ve  been  having  a  go-in  at  your 
bread. 
It’s not pure,  of  course;  but  there 
isn’t very much the matter with it.  There’s 
a little potato,  and a little rice, and  a  little 
alum;  and with those additions,  it takes  up 
a great deal more  water  than  it  ought,  so 
you don’t get your proper  weight.”

“Ahem!” I said,  “if that’s  the case, we’ll 
change our baker. 
I’m not going to pay for 
a mixture of  potatoes and water,  and call it 
bread.  But as for alum,  that’s all  nonsense. 
If they put that in we should taste it.”

“Oh, no;  you wouldn’t.  When  alum  is 
put in bread it decomposes  and  forms  sul­
phate  of  potash,  an  aperient  salt. 
It dis­
agrees  with  you,  of  course,  but you don’t 
taste it.  As for changing  your  baker,  the 
next fellow you tried might be a  jolly sight 
worse;  he might put in bone-dust,  or  plas­
ter of  Paris,  or  sulphate  of  copper.  And 
besides,  half  the  adulterations  are  in  the 
flour  already, before it  reaches  the  baker. 
Of course, that doesn’t prevent  his  doing  a 
little more on his own account.”

And with that the matter  dropped,  so far 
as the bread was concerned;  but  my  conf! 
dence was rudely shaken.

A few days  later  my  analyst  remarked: 
“I don’t think much of  this  milk;”  and  he 
forthwith appropriated a sample for analyt­
ical purposes;  but,  happily,  was  compelled 
to own that it wasn’t quite so bad as he  ex­
pected. 
It had more  than  its  proper  pro­
portion of water;  but  that  might  arise—he 
charitably suggested—from  the  cow  being 
unwell.  To make up the  deficiency  it  had 
been fortified with treacle and colored  with 
annatto,  but these  my analyst  appeared  to 
regard as quite every day falsifications.

“It’s a rascally shame,”  I  said,  “if  one 
can’t put faitli in the  milk  jug.  However, 
let us hope that  the  tea  and  coffee  are  all 
right.”

“Not  likely!”  he  rejoined.  “Nearly  all 
tea is ‘faced,’ as they call it,  more  or  less, 
and  the facing is itself in adulteration.  As 
for coffee, you don’t expect to get that pure, 
do you?  It’s sure to be mixed with chicory, 
anyhow,  and  very  probably  with  roasted 
acorns, beans, mahogany sawdust or old tan. 
Baked horse-liver  occasionally;  but  that’s 
an extreme case. 
If by  any remote  chance 
there wasn't anything wrong in the original 
coffee,  you get it in  the  chicory;  and  very 
often there  are  adulterations  in  both;  so 
you get ’em twice over.”

“If that’s the case,  no more ground coffee 
for me.  We’ll grind our own,  and  then we 
are sure to be safe.”

sure  of 

“ You  mustn’t  be  too 

that. 
Some years ago an ingenious firm  took  out 
a patent for a machine to  mould chicory in­
to the shape of coffee berries.  Smart chaps 
those!  And  of  course  they  can  put any­
thing they like into the chicory before  they 
work it up.”

“That’s  pleasant,  certainly.  Then  how 

is one to secure pure coffee?”

“You can’t secure it,  except  by sending a 
sample  to  us, or  some  other  shop  of  the 
same sort, to have it  analyzed;  and  if  it’s 
wrong,  prosecute your grocer  for  adultera­
tion.  After  doing  that  a  few  times,  he 
might find it didn’t pay and give it up.” 

“And how much would that cost?” 
Analysis of a sample of coffee, §5;  analy­
sis  of  butter,  §10;  analysis  of  milk,  §5; 
analysis of tea,  §5.  Those  are the  regular 
charges for private analyses.

“Rather expensive,  it  seems.  And  how 

much would it cost to prosecute?”

“Ah,  that  I  can’t  tell  you,”  said  the 
analyst.  “Another fiver, or  more,  I  dare­
say.  But look at the satisfaction.”

I did look at it, but ultimately decided  to 
give my grocer the benefit of the doubt,  and 
cherise a fond hope that lie  was better than 
his fellows.  The  subject  dropped.  But  a 
few days later there  chanced  to  be  apple­
pudding  on  the  table.  With  the  dish  in 
question my analyst had always been in the 
habit  of  consuming  brown  sugar,  and  a 
good  deal  of  it.  Now,  however,  on  the 
sugar-basin—best Demarara—being  offered 
to him,  lie put on an expression as if he had 
been invited to partake of black draught. 

“Raw sugar!  No,  thank  you.”
“What’s wrong with the sugar?  Is  that 

adulterated, too?”

“Very probably,” he loftly replied.  “But 
that’s a small matter.  The genuine  article 
is bad enough.”

“Bad|enough?” indignantly interposed my 

analyst’s mamma.

“Yes.  Did you ever hear  of  the  sugar- 

mite,  Acam s scicchari—”

“No;  I can’t say I ever did,” I said,  “and 
I  don’t  want  to,  either.  We  have  had 
enough of this sort of tiling,  and  1  am  not 
going to have any more  agonies  over  every 
article we  eat.”

I had again  put  my  foot  down.  But  it 
was  too  late. 
I  had  even  forbidden  my 
analyst, under penalty  of  forfeiture  of  his 
pocket-money for several  months  to  come, 
telling us anything whatever about the food 
we eat or the drink we imbibe;  but the mis­
chief was done. 
I  have lost my confidence

imperfect way to  protect our household. 
I 
may give the strictest orders  that  none  but 
the refinedest of  sugars  shall  be  admitted 
into our store cupboard;  but who  is  to  an­
swer for the man who  makes  the  jam  and 
the  marmalade,  or  the  other  man  who 
makes the Maderia cakes  and the three-cor­
nered tarts?  And how much  is  there  that 
we  have  not  heard? 
I  have  silenced  my 
analyst’s lips,  it is true;  but there is also  a 
language of the eyes, and still  more  a  lan­
guage of the nose, and when with  a  scorn­
ful tip-tilt of the latter, he says,  “No, thank 
you,” to anything,  my appetite is destroyed 
for that meal. 
I can’t take a  pill  or  black 
draught without my disordered  imagination 
picturing my chemist  “pestling  a  poisoned 
poison” behind  his  counter. 
I  can’t  even 
eat a new-laid egg or crack  a  nut  without 
wondering  what 
it  is  adulterated  with. 
This is morbid,  no doubt.  I am quite aware 
that  it  is  morbid,  but  I  can’t  help  it.

but meanwhile  he  has spoiled my appetite, 
and the dish may go away untasted  for me.
Truly,  a little knowledge  is  a  dangerous 
thing.  The  moral  of  my painful  story is 
obvious.

Any little  excitement  of  an  unusual  nature 
disturbs  the  balance  of  the  system, the  ner­
vous  energies  are  exhausted,  and  headache 
and a hundred other disturbances  are  the  re­
sult.  Many  of  the  miseries  of  modern man 
and womanhood might be cured  and  prevent­
ed were their approach  heeded  and  resisted, 
having  their  origin  in  derangements  of the 
liver  and blood, dyspepsia,  jaundice,  indiges­
tion, costiveness and other unwholesome  con­
ditions.  Evils of a diseased nature find  a cer­
tain cure by the use of Coldeu Seal Bitters.  In 
this  medicine, nature,  aided  by  art,  has  pro­
duced a rare  combination  of  medicinal  prop­
erties, wisely adapted for the cure of  diseases 
common to mankind.  The vitilizing principles 
embodied in Golden Seal Bitters will assuredly 
cure the broken down dyspeptic.  Sold by Haz-

isement in the columns of  this paper.
The conviction of a  New  York  musician 
on a charge of  conspiracy, which  consisted 
of instituting a boycott on the proprietor  of 
a music garden,  together  with  the  convic­
tion and sentence of several other boycotters 
in various parts of the  country,  is  likely to 
have a salutary influence over  the  class  of 
disreputables who  deliberately seek  to  de­
stroy a man’s business.  Nearly every State 
in the Union—Michigan not  expected—has 
a law on the statute books  which  construes 
the practice of  boycotting  as  a  conspiracy 
and defines the boycotter as a  criminal. 
In 
passing sentence on the New York musician 
above referred  to,  Judge Barrett  gave  the 
laboring  men  some  very pertinent  advice, 
which they would do well to heed:

I  confess  that  I  am  in  sympathy  with 
every honest effort of laborers to better their 
It is therefore  with sorrow that 
condition. 
I  observe  an 
inclination  to  lawlessness 
among these classes,  because I know that it 
will  alienate  sympathy  from  them.  The 
hopes of the laboring  classes  depend  on  a 
rigid adherence to law. 
If a large  body  of 
men combine to violate  the  law  the  result 
will be war. 
I wish to give  this counsel  to 
all people who wish to bind  themselves  to­
gether into trades unions. 
It  is that before 
they appoint any committee  they appoint  a 
Committee on Law,  with the power  to  ob­
tain  wise  counsel, not  the demagogue, be­
fore  taking  any steps.  Workingmen  may 
combine together  to  better  their  condition 
and to get  better  wages,  but  they may not 
combine to conspire  to  interfere  with  the 
business of a man by forcing  people  not  to 
deal witli him.

T he T radesm an has no desire to belittle 
the attempted celebration  of  Independence 
Day  in this  city,  but  candor  compels  the 
statement tha,t nothing like a  general  cele­
bration will be observed  here. 
In  view  of 
?he three-day jubilee indulged in  last  year, 
it was thought best to give the  surrounding 
towns an opportunity to celebrate this year, 
without let or hindrance.  Late in  the day, 
however,  a traveling  Indian  show  decided 
to make a stand here on the 3d and engaged 
several  persons  who  are  easily influenced 
by financial  considerations to work  up  the 
semblance of a celebration,  with  a  view  to 
swelling the number of strangers  who  nat­
urally flock to a large place on such  an  oc­
casion.  The work was  undertaken too late 
in the day to  enable  the  projectors  to  ar­
range a programme worth  going  ten  miles 
to see and the necessary funds  needed for a 
successful celebration are not  forthcoming, 
in 
as  business  men  generally  are  not 
sympathy  with 
T he 
T radesm an  utters  this  warning  at  this 
time, not to keep  strangers  away  from  the 
city on the 3d,  but to prevent  their  coming 
here to be disappointed.  There  are  plenty 
of things  to  be  seen  and  any  number  of 
ways by which enjoyment may be obtained, 
but a genuine Fourtli of July celebration  is 
one of the things which cannot  be  seen  in 
Grand Rapids this year.

the  movement. 

Rev.  Morgan  Dix,  the  eminent  divine, 
pays the disturbing  element  in  the  labor- 
ind classes the  following  vigorous  compli­
ment:
We have had enough of gush over the re-1 
suits of social inequalities, of railing against 
capitalists,  of slurs on respectability, of  la­
borious flattery of the workingmen. 
If the 
rich do wrong,  so do the poor;  and  to each 
must his wrong-dealing be made plain.  The 
criminal selfishness of  the  wealthy may  be 
properly  explained,  and means devised,  if 
possible,  to stop the accumulation of  riches 
by unholy acts and gamblers’  practices,  but 
the working  classes  must be told,  as clear­
ly, that we are as fully awake  to the wrong 
done by them as to the wrong  suffered, and

that forbearance reaches its limit  whenever 
they, by secret organization and  machinery 
of strike and boycott, and the  slave’s obedi­
ence to a despotic  centralism,  make  them­
selves  public  enemies  and  endanger  the 
peace, prosperity and life  of  honest,  unof­
fending folks.

“To what  is  the  remarkable  success  at­
tained  by  Hanhali,  Lay  &  Co.  due?”  is  a 
question frequently asked of T he Trades­
man.  The  results  secured  by the  firm in 
question  are  due  to  perseverance,  energy 
and  good  management,  coupled  with  as 
grand opportunities as ever presented them­
selves.  Nobody  ever  heard  any  com­
plaint from the employes  of the firm.  The 
The pernicious  system  of  truck  pay never 
found lodgment in their curriculum.  Every 
one moved along in the  line  of  promotion, 
from the lowest step  to  the  highest.  This 
condition of affairs attracted  the  best  men 
to be had and gave the  firm  the  advantage 
of experienced assistants, who were disposed 
to regard their employer’s’ interests the same 
as their  own.

The Ovid  Union,  which  is  usually noted 
for accuracy,  falls into error in  the  follow­
ing statement:

And now Laingsburg wants  a  creamery. 
There is danger in creameries  becoming too 
plenty for profit.

The Union should  stop  long  enough  to 
think that the establishment  of  creameries 
does  not  increase  the  quantity  of  butter 
made, but improves the quality.  Moreover, 
it is well to bear in mind that while there is 
frequently no market for farm  or dairy but­
ter, creamery butter is always  in demand at 
some price.

The decision of the Allegan Circuit Court 
in the Norton  & Wolff  case,  noted  in  an­
other column of this  week’s  paper,  brands 
Messrs. Norton and Wolff  with  the  stamp 
of infamy. 
It maintains  that  they bought 
goods with fraudulent  intent, knowing that 
they were insolvent and that they could not 
pay for them.  Such wholesome  lessons  as 
Norton & Wolff have learned in  this matter 
ought to serve as a warning  to  others  who 
are  inclined  to  follow  in  their  footsteps, 
lest they fall in the same ditch.

The Chicago  Herald  is  being  boycotted 
for publishing the following heresy:  “Chi­
cago did  not  make  the  West.  The  West 
lias made  Chicago.”  This  statement  is  as 
offensive  to Chicago people as a red  rag  is 
offensive  to an infuriated bull.

Norton  &  Wolff Came  Out  Second  Best.
The hotly-contested replevin suit between 
F. Buhl & Co., of  Detroit,  and  Norton  & 
Wolff, of Otsego and Plainwell,  which  was 
tried last week in the Circuit Court at Alle­
gan,  resulted in a victory for the  plaintiffs. 
The suit grew out of the failure  of  Norton 
& Wolff, which occurred  last  October,  and 
the verdict is regarded as a practical victory 
for  the  plaintiffs  in  fifteen  other  similar 
actions brought by the other creditors of the 
firm.  The  testimony in  the  case  showed 
that  G.  B.  Norton  had  been  engaged  in 
trade at Otsego for nineteen years;  that  in 
the spring of 1885 he formed  a  co-partner­
ship with Gabriel Wolff under the firm name 
of Norton & Wolff, the joint capital amount­
ing  to  $8,000; 
that  in  August  the  firm 
started a branch store at Plainwell and sent 
peddling  wagons through the county;  that 
purchases were made  largely  in  excess  of 
legitimate needs, and  when  the  purchasers 
knew they were insolvent;  that their credit­
ors were  not  informed  of  their  condition 
until  the  crash came,  when  it  was  found 
that they owed about $70,000,  and  had  but 
about $45,000 of available assets—a shrink­
age  of  over  $30,000  in  less  than  eight 
months.  The court held  that all purchases 
made under such circumstances were fraud­
ulent and that the  defrauded  parties  could 
rescind the contracts and replevin the goods.

Minor  Drug  Notes.

To restore the luster of  morocco  varnish 
it with the white of ail egg  applied  with  a 
sponge.

In Holland  the “apothecaries’ shops” are 
imder  government  supervision.  Druggists 
are required to have all the drugs  named in 
the “Pharmacopoeia Neerlandica.”

While  digging  a  well  in  Mexico,  the 
workmen  struck  a  vein  of  carbonic  gas, 
which  came  near  proving  fatal  to  them 
The well filled with  gas  and  ran  over  the 
top.

Lanolin is  coming  rapidly into  use, con­
sidering its recent introduction  to  the  pro­
fession in this country.  One of the  advan­
tages  it  holds  over  lard  for  an  ointment 
base,  is  the  rapidity  with  which  it  is  ab­
sorbed.

The Canadian Pharmaceutical  Journal 
says that a quantity of benzoin was  recent­
ly offered in the London market  which was 
originally  shipped  from  Sumatra,  by  the 
Dutch settlers,  in the year  1691.  The  ves­
sel  conveying  the  drug  was  wrecked  off 
the Cape of Good Hope, and from that time 
until lately,  the cedar cases of benzoin have 
been at the bottom of the sea.  The rescued 
drug  was  sold  to  a  firm  of  benzoic  acid 
manufacturers,  as drug  merchants regarded 
the  sample with suspicion on account of its 
peculiar appearance, which neither resembled 
that of the Siam or Sumatra kinds collected 
in  the  present  day,  though,  on  assay,  it 
turned out to be much  superior.

Oceana  County  Druggists.

From the Hart Argus.

At  the  meeting  of  druggists  held  last 
week Tuesday,  to organize an Oceana coun­
ty Pharmaceutical Society,  it was  voted  to 
i proceed  to  organize  immediately.  F.  W. 
Fincher  was  elected  temporary  chairman, 
and  G. F. Cady temporary  secretary.  The 
Society will meet at Shelby June 29, to com­
plete organization, elect officers,  etc.

Grand Rapids Dairy Board of Trade.
The  first regular  meeting  of  the  Grand 
Rapids Dairy Board  of  Trade,  which  was 
held on June  28, was  fairly well  attended. 
The offerings  consisted  of  35  packages of 
creamery  butter—2030  pounds  and  275 
boxes of full cream cheese.  The butter was 
bid in at 16 cents and the cheese at 7J^c.

Attention, M uskegon!

Muskegon merchants  are  hereby caution­
ed to beware of J.  P. Johnson,  a machinist, 
who jumped a hotel  bill  at Elmira  several 
years  ago,  and  lately  left  several  Grand 
Rapids grocers in deep mourning.

A  Coopersville  correspondent  writes  as 
follows:  “There was a fakir here last week

dollars-in-an-envelope trick.  Dan Beecher,

room, an inventory of  its  contents  and the

Traverse City Journal:  One of the  most 
pleasant  society events  that  has  ever  oc­
curred here,  was the marriage of Miss Sybil 
A.  Day,  of  this  place,  and  Mr.  A.  D. 
Baker,  of  Grand  Rapids,  which  occurred 
Thursday evening at the residence of  E.  S. 
Pratt.  The  house  was  elegantly trimmed 
with  evergreens  and  almost an  unlimited 
supply of flowers.  At about 9:30  the  nup­
tial  knot was tied by Rev. J.  S.  Large,  and 
after  the  usual  congratulations,  the  com­
pany partook of an  elegant  supper.  Amid 
the best  wishes  of all,  Mr.  and Mrs. Baker 
took  the  12:30  train  for  Grand  Rapids, 
which is to be their  future  home.  Among 
the guests from abaoad  were  Mrs. Johnson 
and Mrs.  Dr.  Gray, of Greenville;  Mrs. See­
ley, of  Rochester,  N. Y.;  JohnP.  Homiller 
and  Sidney  F.  Stevens,  of Grand Rapids; 
Miss May Davis, of Elk Rapids, Miss Bertie 
Billings and Miss Daisy Large  of this place 
were  bridesmaides,  and  Mr.  Homiller 
groomsman.  About 100 guests  were  pres­
ent.  Mr.  Baker is a commercial  man,  rep­
resenting  the  hardware  firm  of  Foster, 
Stevens & Co.,  and  his  personal  character 
and business attainments  are highly spoken 
of. 
It is universally regretted  by  all  who 
knew Miss Day  that  she  leaves  Traverse, 
but if good wishes of hosts  of  friends  will 
brighten  her * future,  she  indeed  will  be 
happy through the remainder of her life.

Every  arrangement  is  now  completed 
which will tend to augment the pleasure  of

MENTHOL  INHALER

IWÊÊ

Cold in  the Head.

S trictly speaking, this is acute C atarrh, and for w ant 
of effectual means of treatm en t little  attention is paid 
to it, and its annoying sym ptom s endured  for  several 
days develop into som ething  m ore  serious  by  th e  in- 
ilam m ation  extending  from   the  nose  to  th e  throat, 
lungs  or  ears.  Cushm an's  Menthol  Inhaler  acts 
prom ptly  and  as  by  magic,  relieving  the  itching, 
tingling and stuffed  feeling  in  the  head.  At  first,  it 
increases the w atery discharge from  the  nose,  and  by 
its continued use reduces the inflam m ation, and w ithin 
a  few hours  the  w atery discharge  is  dim inished,  and 
the  com plications  which  usually  follow  a  cold  are 
avoided.
All druggists should keep the  Menthol  Inhaler.  Re­
ta il price  50c.

BU SIN E SS LAW .

Brief Digests of Recent Decisionsin Courts 

of  Last Resort.

DEM AND  NOTE— REASONABLE  TIME.
In states where  “reasonable time”  is  de­
fined by statute, a demand note,  if not  pre­
sented for payment before the  lapse  of  the 
time  specified  in  the  defining  statute,  is 
overdue so as to subject  any  one  taking  it 
to all defenses to  which  it  would  be  open 
in  the  hands  of  the  payee,  according  to 
the decision of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
United States.

PROMISSORY  NOTE  —   FR A UD   —   ATTACH­

MENT.

Where a note was accepted in  the  settle­
ment of an open account as an absolute pay­
ment  of  a  debt due thereon,  the  Supreme 
Court of Kansas  held  that  the  fraudulent 
disposition of a part of his  property by  the 
¿debtor several  months  prior  to  the  execu­
tion! of the note,  but during the existence of 
; the open account, was not a ground  for  at- 
f  cachmeaat in an action brought to recover up- 
,  on the promissory note.

JNSUUANCE  —   LOSS  —   ASSIGNMENT 

CLAIM.

The  Supreme  Court  of  Wisconsin,  held 
that a  town  insurance  company,  organized 
under  the  laws  of  1872,  which  had  been 
compelled  to  pay  a  loss  caused  by  a  fire 
started through the negligence  of a railroad 
company, could take an  assignment  of  the 
whole claim for damages from  the  insured 
exceeding the  amount  paid  by  it,  and  re­
-cover the full amount thereof  from the rail- 
Toad company.

MONEY'  P A ID   UNDER  MISTAKE  OF  LAW .
According to a recent decision of the English 
Court of Appeal, the rule  that  money paid 
uniter A mistake of law cannot  be recovered 
from the person who  has  received  it  does 
not apply where the  money  has  been  paid 
to and received by an officer of the  court  in 
Phis  capacity  as  such.  This  was  a  case 
where money was demanded  by and paid to 
. a trustee in a liquidation under the  English 
Bankruptcy act of 1869, and the person pay­
ing the money discovered  that  he  had  not 
been  legally  liable  to  pay  it.  The  court 
held  that the trustee in the liquidation was 
bound  to  repay  the  money  out  of  assets 
available 
the 
creditors.

¡B IL L O F EXCHANGE— NOTICE OF DISHONOR.
The case of Coulsher  vs. Toppin, decided 
recently by the  English  Court  of  Appeal, 
was  one  in  which  it  appeared  that  the 
drawer of a bill  of  exchange  before  it  be­
came due wrote to the holder saying the bill 
would not be paid when due,  though he  be­
lieved it would ultimately be met by the ad­
ministrators of the  deceased  acceptor.  To 
this the  holder  replied  in  a  letter  saying 
that he must look to the drawer to  take  up 
the bill.  The  Court  of  Appeal  held  that 
these  letters  amounted  to  a  waiver,  and 
were  equivalent  to  an intimation  by  the 
party entitled  to notice that he  was  aware 
that the bill would be  dishonored  and  that 
he would ultimately be  looked  to  for  pay­
ment.

EMPLOYER  AND   EMPLOYEE— DISCHARGE.
One James was  employed  by  the  Board 
of Commissioners of Allen county,  Ohio, as 
superintendent of the stone and brick  work 
In  the  construction  of  a court house, until 
the stone and  brick  work  should  be  com­
pleted,  at a salary of 8100  per  month.  He 
was discharged  from  this  employment  be­
fore the expiration of the time fixed  in  the 
contract,  but  he  was  paid  all  the  wages 
actually earned at the time of his discharge, 
lie sued to  recover  certain  subsequent  in­
stallments as though earned, but a demurrer 
to his complaint  was  sustained  by the  Su­
preme Court of  Ohio, which  held  that  his 
remedy was by action  for^damages  arising 
from breach of the contract.

Sayings  of George  Eliot.

The yoke  a man  creates  for jhimself  by 
wrong doing will breed hate injthe kindliest 
nature.

Ingenious philosophers tell |you,  perhaps, 
that the great work of the  steam  engine  is 
to create leisure for  mankind.  Ho  not  be­
lieve  them;  it  only creates  a'vacuum  for 
eager thoughts to rush in.

A good, solid bit o’ work lasts;  if it’s only 
lying a floor down,  some  body’s  the  better 
for  it  being done  well,  besides  the  man  as 
does it

I wouldn’t give a penny for  a man  as ’ud 
drive a nail in slack  because  lie  didn’t  get 
extra pay for it.

There’s  nothing  but  what’s  bearable  as 
long  as  a  man  can  work;  the  nature  o’ 
things doesn’t change, though'it seems as if 
one’s own life was uothingjbut change.

Some folks’ tongues are like^the'clocks as 
run on strikin’, not to tell ¡you' the^time  o’ 
the day,  because  there’s  suinmat  wrong  i’ 
their own inside.

That is the path we all like when  we  set 
out  on  our  abandonment  of  egoism—the

Adulteration  of  Candy.

So much has  been said of late years about 
the adulterations and impurities of food and 
drink, says the New Yoi'k Tribune that it is 
little wonder that  people  have  come to be­
lieve  these  impositions  and  abuses  prevail 
to a much greater extent than they really do. 
Thousands  of  persons  talk  about  sanding 
sugar,  grinding  burnt  beans  with  coffee, 
mixing  willow leaves  witli  tea,  as  though 
these frauds are regularly practiced by every 
grocer  in  the  land.  Nothing  short  of  a 
chemical analysis would convince many that 
every quart of  milk  sold  in  the city is  not 
more or less impure.  There are those could 
not be induced to  eat  canned  goods  of any 
kind, while  the  aversion  of  some to pork, 
through fear of trichiniasis,  is equal to Shy- 
lock’s hatred of the unlovely auimal.

All these are the evil  results of  an excel­
lent reform,  and are in  a  measure unavoid­
able.  That there is yet  room  for improve­
ment in every department of  food manufac­
ture no sensible person  will deny. 
Indeed, 
it may be  fairly said  that  a reformation in 
many  branches of  this  important  business 
has only begun.  But between the real limit 
to which the  evil  of  adulteration  prevails 
and its  imaginary  extent  there  is  a  wide 
margin.  Take the article of  confectionery, 
for example.  To many people  an ordinarj 
lump of  candy  represents  a  compound  of 
glucose  and  terra  alba,  tinted  with  some 
poisonous coloring  matter.  Yet Dr. Edson 
is authority for the statement  that  there is 
not at  present  any  injurious  confectionery 
made or sold by any reputable house in this 
city.  “How then,” it may be  asked,  “does 
it happen that so many cases  of  candy poi­
soning occur?”

The question was put to  one of  the most 
prominent  manufacturers  of  confectionery 
in this  city the  other day by  a  Tribune re­
porter and answered thus:  “I have made it 
a  point  of  late  years  to  Investigate  every 
case of  alleged  poisoning from  candy that 
has been reported in and around New York. 
The result of  these  inquiries enables me to 
affirm that the  majority  of  such  cases  are 
without foundation. 
It has  become so cus­
tomary to attribute unusual sickness of chil­
dren  to  this  source  that  many,  including 
physicians,  do so when there are no  grounds 
for  it. 
I  recall  a  case  that  happened  in 
Brooklyn a year or two ago.  Two children 
were  taken  ill  suddenly  and  some  of  the 
papers reported that they had been poisoned 
by eating colored  lozenges.  Yet I have the 
written assurance of both the  father of  the 
children  snd  the  physician  who  attended 
them that their  sickness  was  due to other 
causes. 
In fact,  they  had  not  been  eating 
candy at all for days previous to the  attack. 
Tliis  is  only  one  instance  of  many that  I 
could tell  you about.  There  are, however, 
some cases of candy poisoning that are gen­
uine, but  the  candy is  not  the  product of 
any reputable manufactory. 
It is stuff that 
is made  by irresponsible  persons  in cellars 
and  garrets, out  of the way  of  the  health 
officials.  These persons, mostly foreigners, 
by the way, have no reputation to maintain. 
Their goods are hawked in the street for the 
most  part,  and  they  care  little  about  the 
character or quality of  the  materials which 
they  employ. 
It  so  happens, though, that 
they have little  need for  ingredients which 
are  really dangerous.  They  make  for  the 
most part  cheap, common  stock, and  corn 
meal,  cerealine,  starch  and  flour  are  the 
adulterants  which  they mostly use. 
If the 
health officials of other places were as wide­
awake as they are here, it would not be long 
before  impure  confectionery  would  be  un­
known in the U nited  States.
•  “But it is not the health authorities alone 
who are trying to abolish the use of  poison­
ous substances in  this  business.  The  Na­
tional  Confectioners’  Association,  a society 
composed  of  the  leading  candyinakers  of 
the country,  will  not only expell  any mem­
ber found guilty of using terra alba or other 
mineral  substances  or  injurious  colors  in 
the manufacture of  confectionery,  but  will 
also prosecute the guilty persons.  Further­
more,  it has a standing offer of SI00 for evi­
dence that will enable it to convict  any per­
son of this offense.  The  use  of any mater­
ial whatsoever that tends to reduce the qual­
ity of candy below the sugar standard is dis­
countenanced by the association.  The con­
fectionery business has been injured greatly 
by false charges,  but the abuses will be cor­
rected shortly  by  legislative  aid. •  The bill 
to amend the laws touching the adulteration 
K)f food, so as  to  include  candies in its pro­
visions,  passed  the  Assembly  and  Senate 
and will doubtless become a law.  This bill 
makes the use of  deleterious  ingredients in 
■candy manufacture  as  great  an  offense  in 
any part of  the  State  as it  now is in  this 
city, which is under the special health code, 
Similar bills  have  been  introduced in other 
State Legislatures where  needed.  There is 
no necessity for using any harmful material 
now.  Sugar  is  cheap  and  chemistry  has 
furnished us with all kinds of harmless veg­
etable  colorings,  making  it  inexcusable for 
anyone to  employ  chrome  colors,  Prussian 
blue,  burnt umber, or Venetian red. 
If you 
have any doubts about a  piece of  candy be­
ing wholesome  drop it into a cup of  water. 
If pure it  will  readily dissolve,  but if there 
are  any  mineral  substances,  talc  or  terra 
alba present  they will  remain undissolved. 
This is a  simple  test, but  for ordinary pur­
poses it is effective and certain.”

The Fellow that Lost His Grip.

Earnest McGaffey in the Current.

It's a long hard road to travel,
The one I’ve journeyed on.
Over the rough, sharp gravel 
From weary dusk to dawn.
But now I’m  overtaken;
Booked for an outbound trip,
All shattered and sorrow-shaken—
A fellow that’s lost his grip.
I was always counted plucky 
And independent too,
Till I became unlucky 
Then ev’rything fell through:
I never did any shirking 
But somehow missed my tip,
And it kills a man for working 
When he feels he’s lost his grip.
We’re all of us men and brothers 
While there’s an even  race,
I struggled like the others 
But couldn’t make the pace;
And now in a stranger city,
My life, like a sinking ship,
Goes down, with none to pity 
The fellow that lost his grip.

And to-day I heard the clinking 
Their patter through the chinking, 
More quickly, for they brought me 
Some little patience taught me—

Of rain-drops on the glass.
Made some dull moments pass 
Relief in their cooling drip,
A fellow that’s lost his grip.
I’ve been a wandering rover,
A stone without the moss,
If I could live it over 
Would life be such a loss?
Would misfortunes still befall me 
Till they had me on the hip,
And would the world then call me 
The fellow that lost his grip?

How swift the time is flying,
The goal is almost won:
1 am dying, dying, dying,
Bewept, bemoaned by none.
I hear the surf on unknown strands,
1 feel my moorings slip,
Christ! reach me out thy saving hands, 
I’m a fellow that lost his grip.

Organization of the Sturgis Business Men's 

Association.

In accordance with an invitation  received 
from the business men of Sturgis to address 
them on the advantages of  an  organization 
for  protective  and  defensive purposes, the 
editor  of  T he  Tradesm an  met  with  a 
number  of  the  leading  merchants  of  that 
place last Wednesday evening  and  assisted 
in the organization of  the  Sturgis Business 
Men’s Association.

Chairman Church  called  the  meeting  to 
order  and  F. Jom acted as secretary.  Mr. 
Church explained the object  of the meeting 
and related his  experience  in  communicat­
ing with the officers of several  retailers’ as­
sociations. 
In  response  to  his  inquiries, 
the Secretary of the  Lowell Business Men’s 
Protective Association answered as follows:
Our  Association  is  working  miracles. 
Men who never  made  any  attempt  to  pay 
are now' settling up even outlawed accounts. 
I tell you it “grinds” them awfully to think 
they will be listed as  dead-beats.

Fred Cutler,  Jr.,  Secretary  of  the  Ionia 
Business  Men’s  Protective  Association, 
wrote as follow's:

We are very much pleased with the work­
ing of the Association  and  have  no  doubt 
that if you organize one in Sturgis,  and run 
it right, you will find it a paying institution.
The chairman then introduced  the  editor 
of  T he T radesm an,  who  explained  the 
aims and objects of retailers’  organizations. 
At the conclusion of his address, J. A.  Dice 
moved  that  the  organization  of  a  Sturgis 
Business  Men's  Protective  Association  be 
proceeded  with  and  that  every  reputable 
merchant of the place be  invited to identify 
himself  with  the  movement.  The  motion 
was  unanimously  carried.  The  chairman 
was then instructed to appoint a  committee 
of five to prepare a draft of constitution and 
by-laws,  which was constituted  as  follows: 
J. C. Davis, A. D. Cory, Henry L. Anthony, 
L. P.  Zent  and  H.  S. Church.  The  com­
mittee was instructed to be  in  readiness  to 
report on the evening of  July  2,  to  which 
date the meeting was adjourned.

The business men of Sturgis are  alive  to 
the benefits of concerted action on  all  mat­
ters affecting the good of the trade  and  the 
indications  are  favorable  for  a  large  and 
prosperous organization.

JENNINGS  VINDICATED.

He Maintains  the  Reputation  of  His  Ex­

tracts  at  Any  Hazard.

The reputation  of  Jennings’ extracts  for 
purity and strength has become a matter  of 
common 
acknowledgment.  They  have 
stood the test of time and have  come  to  be 
regarded by the trade and consumer  as  ab­
solutely the best goods on  the  market. 
In 
view  of  these  facts,  Messrs.  Jennings  & 
Smith were somewhat  surprised  about  two 
weeks ago  to  receive  the  following  letter 
from a dealer  who  had  handled  their  ex­
tracts many years:

Lawton,  June 11,1886. 

Mess. Jennings & Smith, Grand Rapiis:
Gentlem en—I sold  six  bottles  of  your 
to  be  put  into  ice  cream, 
best  vanilla, 
Wednesday, and it made twenty of our citi­
zens very sick,  so sick that  some came near 
dying.  What do you suppose was the mat­
ter  with  it?  The  family  who  made  the 
cream are not able to stand the loss (twelve 
gallons)  and expect you will make  it  right 
with them and  pay the  costs  of  having  it 
analyzed. 
I ate some of  the  cream  and  it 
made me very sick. 
I hope and expect you 
will have the vanilla analyzed,  so that  if  it 
is pure 1 will not lose my trade on your  ex­
tracts,  which I have  handled  for  so  many 
years now.
Hoping to hear from you by  return  mail, 
I remain,

Very Respectfully Yours,

B. J. D esenberg.

D.

P.  S.—I  hope  you  will  vindicate  your- 
selves'and me,  as it will  do  us  both  great 
damage if it is not proven to be pure vanilla 
which was used. 
I think the vanilla  is  all 
right and the fault lies  somewhere  else. 
I 
expect you will  have  it  analyzed  by Prof. 
Kedzie  of  the  Agricultural  College, or  at 
Ann Arbor,  so that the people will see  that 
it is impartial. 

Confident of the purity of his goods, satis­
fied that  the  poisoning  was  due  to  causes 
other than his extracts, and determined that 
no one should say aught against  their  puri­
ty,  Mr. Jennings  immediately  repaired  to 
Lawton,  where he arranged  with  the  per­
sons who  made  the  ice  cream  to  send  a 
quantity of the cream and also some of  the 
vanilla  to  Prof.  Vaughan,  Professor  of 
Chemistry  at  the  State  University,  for 
analysis.  Prof.  Vaughan,  whose  reputa­
tion is world-wride and  whose  opinions can 
by no possible means be impeached,  reports 
the result of the analysis as follows:
The poison in the ice cream is due  to  the 
decomposition in  the  milk.  The  poison  I 
obtained from one-half pint  of  cream  pro­
symptoms 
duced 
in  a  cat 
the  persons  suffered  from.  The 
which 
people  at  Lawton 
that 
the 
poison  was 
extract 
used  and  sent  some  of  that,  which  I 
have analyzed and used myself without find­
ing the least trace of poison.  The poison is 
liable to be developed in any milk  which is 
kept in unclean  vessels  or  impure  atmos­
phere. 
I found no mineral poison  in it, no 
arsenic,  etc.,  but succeeded  in  getting  the 
same poison as I did  from  the  cheese  last 
year.

same 
thought 

the  vanilla 

Such expert testimony as to the  purity of 
Jennings’ extracts will forever  put  an  end 
to all fear as  to  their  w'holesomeness  and 
bring them new friends  among  people  who 
are not sure the goods  they are  now  using 
are equally meritorious.

Purely Personal.

W.  G.  Austin, 

the  Kalamazoo  paint 
manufacturer,  was  in town  last  week  on 
business.

Dr.  W.  Ryno has not removed to Coloma, 
as stated last week,  but  will  continue  the 
practice of his profession in this city.

Chas. E.  Olney left yesterday for Thomp­
son,  Conn., to spend  the  Fourth  with  his 
family, who are  summering  at  that resort.
John Snitseler,  of the firm of Voigt, Her- 
polsheimer & Co.,  is the happy  father  of  a 
ten pound boy, which put in  an appearance 
Sunday.  Fourth edition.

Les.  Freeman,  house  salesman for  Haw; 
kins & Perry,  has gone  to Denver,  and will 
visit Leadville  and  other  points  before re­
turning.  He is expected  back  about  July 
10.

Peter Steketee,  of  the firm of P.  Steketee 
& Sons,  has gone  East on a visit combining 
business and pleasure.  He will visit  Balti­
more, Washington, Philadelphia, New York 
and Boston before returning.

Miscellaneous Dairy Notes.

The  Chelsea  creamery  paid  $2,250  for 
cream during the  month  of  May. 
It  has 
turned out as high as 1,000 pounds of butter 
per day.

Chas.  A.  Barnes,  of  Otsego,  and  R.  D. 
McNaughton, of Coopersville, were in town 
Monday in attendance on the meeting of the 
Dairy Board of Trade.

A rope used for  hoisting  cream  cans  at 
the Nashville  creamery  recently broke  and 
let down a can containing about  35  guages 
of cream.  Ora Hullinger was deluged with 
cream,  and  presented  such  a 
ludicrous 
sight that his fellow employes have not done 
laughing  yet.

The  Grocery  Market.

Business and collections  are  both  brisk. 
Sugars are about the same as last week, but 
an  advance  in  the  near  future  is  by  ho 
means  improbable.

The new pack of  Columbia  River salmon 
will be  considerably  lighter  than  usual, as 
the pack up to June 24 was only about 100,- 
000 cases,  which is  largely  below  the aver­
age pack for this season of  the  year.  The 
Sacramento River pack,  which  amounted to 
48,500 cases last  year,  if a failure this year, 
less than one-third of the usual amount hav­
ing  been  secured.

Candy is steady.  Nut are steady.  Fruits 

are advancing and active.

The Artist Drummer's Illustration.
“I  suppose  that you have all  seen speci­
mens of rapid painting,” said a well-known 
commercial traveler,  “but I’ll bet that none 
of you ever saw a bit of quick sketching that 
nearly  killed  yourself  laughing.  Well,  I 
did. 
It was about a  month  ago,  down  on 
C. & W. M.  On board  was  a  young  chap 
who carries a full line of artists’  materials, 
brushes, paints, etc., all in a snug little grip. 
He is something of  an  artist  himself,  and 
telling  us 
was 
that the secret of 
humor  in  a  car­
toon or  picture is 
that the  beholder 
is always  expect­
ing  s o m e th in g  
funny  when  he 
looks at a picture 
of that  kind, and 
•unconsciously 
gets himself in the mood wherein he  is wil­
ling to be pleased.  He went on at this rate 
for quite a time, until one of  the  boys  told 
him  that  he  was  getting  mysterious  and 
asked for an illustration.

“ ‘Well, I’ll give you an illustration,’ says 
he, and he opened up his  sample  cg.se  and 
got out some brushes and paints. 
‘You see 
that bald-headed old codger sitting up there 
four  or  five  seats  ahead,  sound  asleep? 
Well,  if I should go and paint something on 
the back of his  head,  the  probabilities  are 
that  you  would 
no sooner see me 
at  it  than  you 
would  begin  to 
laugh.  And  no 
matter  what  I 
might paint there 
you would  laugh 
at 
it  anyhow, 
simply  because 
there  is,  or  you
. think there is, something  ridiculous  in  the 
very idea. 
\ “And he tried it.  He stole up behind the 
sleeping man, made five or six  light, quick 
passages with his brush,  and  then  retired, 
►saving the bald-headed man with two faces. 
..^s it funny?  Well,  if you’re predisposed 
Pto hitext disease,  don’t you ever stay around 
whew a rapid painter is putting a face on  a 
bald head or you’ll laugh yourself  into pur­
gatory,  sure.”

I’ll try it.’

Maxims  for Merchants.

From the Dry Goods Chronicle.

To get all we can and keep all we get is a 
doubtful natural  right,  and  only applicable 
in a state of  nature.

Reputation  is the salt of  business; keeps 
it from decay and makes its  workings safer 
than if regulated by statute.
^Integrity is the  corner-stone  of  the char'
■ of the true man of business.  Without 
1 whole edifice topples to its ruin.

A penny is a very  small  matter,  yet the 
comfort of  thousands  of  families  depends 
upon  the  proper  spending  and  saving of 
pennies.

The  best  executive  merchants  are  those 
who make their authority  felt  with  as few 
words as possible,  and  never  display it un­
necessarily.

A right measure  and  manner  in getting, 
saving,  spending,  giving,  taking,  lending, 
borrowing and bequeathing makes the perfect 
business man.

The refusal which is at once the most safe 
from vacillation, and perhaps as little apt to 
give offense  as  any,  is  the  point  blank re­
fusal without reason assigned.

Seventeen  business  men  out  of  twenty 
will admit that the  true  way to make  their 
employees take  an  interest in their work is 
to give them an interest in its results.

In all cases of  credit, where  there are no 
words or  acts  of  especial  trust  and  confi­
dence, the  relation  of  buyer  and  seller,  of 
borrower and lender, is one of mutual prom­
ise and risk.

Honor is the foster parent of credit. 

It is 
the patron saint  of business. 
It  is to busi­
ness men  what  courage  is  to  the  soldier, 
what zeal is the  advocate, or  impartiality is 
to the judge.

Business  engages, 

invigorates  and  en­
larges  the  mind,  its  usefulness,  promotes 
self-respect;  its  results,  if  successful, 
in 
crease the  power  of  doing  what  the head 
conceives and the heart desires.

If there is  any one  worthy of  success,  in 
purchasing  and  selling  pursuits,  it  is  the 
man who looks into the  resources—the out 
goes and incomes of  the  branch of business 
that sways his investments.

Much depends upon the temperament of a 
merchant; it  should he hopeful, that it may 
bear him up against  faintheartedness, folly 
falsehood  and numberless discouragements 
It should also be calm to withstand the pres 
sure of business, and to prevent his running 
from  one  unfinished  thing  to  begin  some 
thing else.

Legal  Enterprise  in Dakota.

“I sent you an account of $25  for  collee 
tion,” said a man coming into the office of ' 
Dakota lawyer.

“My  fees  are  $50. 

“Yes,  you did.”
“What success have you had?”
“Sued him last week and got it.”
“That’s good.  Give  me  the  money and 
tell me the amount of your  fees  and  I  will 
pay you.”
I  have  given  you 
credit for the $25 collected—pay me another 
$25 and we’ll be square.”
“What!”  gasped  the  man,  “I  don’t  see 
where  I  make  anything  by  collecting  the 
debt.”
“Nothing, my  dear  sir;  from  a  money 
point of view, but you can  have  the  satis 
faction  of  knowing  that  a  dishonest man 
has been brought to fjustice!  You  can  use 
your own pleasure  about  paying  that  $25 
now;  I took  the  precaution  to  commence 
suit against you  for  the  amout this  mofn 
km.” ^
