REGULATE  TH E  PEDDLERS.

living  F.  Clapp, 

the  Allegan  grocer, 

writes T he T radesman as follows:

What information can  you  give  us  that 
will  assist us  in  presenting  to  our Village 
Board the necessity of requiring peddlers to 
pay  a license into our Village Treasury and 
check—to  a  certain  extent—the  peddling 
habit?

The proper way to proceed under the  cir­
cumstances is to  present  a  petition  to  the 
Board of Trustees,  signed by the entire gro­
cery trade of the town,  setting forth the fact 
that legitimate  trade  deserves  the recogni­
tion  of  the  corporation—that  the  grocery 
trade buy lots and erect store buildings; that 
they pay taxes on lots, buildings and stocks; 
that they build sidewalks  and keep them in 
repair  for the  convenience  of  pedestrians; 
that they sprinkle streets or  pay for having 
them  sprinkled;  that  they  contribute  to 
churches,  benevolent  societies,  celebrations 
and public  events  of  nearly  every descrip­
tion;  that they are  foremost  in  every good 
work and are never  backward in any move­
ment which  tends to  build up the commun­
ity in which they live.

It is also advisable to set forth  the  status 
of the peddler.  The latter individual never 
pays taxes  on  lot,  store  or  stock—seldom 
even on a residence.  He does not contribute 
to the support of  schools, churches or  pub­
lic improvements; he  builds  no  sidew'alks, 
or sewers  and grades  no  streets; he  never 
contributes his quota to the  street sprinkler 
and is  never  to  be  found  when  a paper is 
passed around to  assist a  widow in distress 
or to raise funds to get up a celebration.

that 

This much the peddler does not do.  What 
he does do, is infinitely more damaging to the 
business interests of any community.  It is a 
matter  of  common  acknowledgement  that 
the farmer trades where he can  best sell his 
own produce.  The grocer buys whatever is 
offered, expecting to be able to  sell it again 
In  too  many 
to  his  regular  customers. 
cases,  he  finds 
the  peddler  has 
supplied  his  consuméis  with 
inferior 
produce at a lower price  than lie can sell at 
a  profit.  The  result  is  that  the  produce 
which he has taken in exchange for  cash or 
groceries is sold at  a  loss  or  decays on his 
hands.  The next time the fanner brings in 
a load of  produce, the  grocer  is  compelled 
to refuse to take it and the fanner transfers 
his trade to  another  town—a  town  where 
peddlers are not allowed to  step in and ruin 
the summer business of both  the grocer and 
farmer.

The above  comparison,  properly  brought 
before the Board of  Trustees of  any  town, 
ought to appeal to fair-minded  men in  such 
a way as to  secure  the  enactment  of  ordi­
nances favorable to legitimate trade and the 
best interests of  all concerned.

The ruling of Judge Sloan, of Milwaukee, 
in which he held boycotting a crime punish­
able  under  the  statutes,  is  receiving  the 
commendation  of  conservative men  every­
where.  The opinion  was  delivered  during 
the  recent trial  of  Robert Schilling,  in  the 
course of which Judge Sloan ruled that since 
Schilling threatened to put the vast machin­
ery of the Knigfuts of  Labor  in operation to 
prevent the public from patronizing the firm 
boycotted  he  injured  the  firm’s  income, 
which was as  much property' as  machinery

99

or buildings,  and that  to  attempt to dictate 
to them against their  will whom  to employ 
or discharge  was  a parallel  offense.  “All 
organizations of  the  kind  seeking to inter­
fere with the  business of  manufacturers or 
others are not in accordance with law,” said 
the  judge.  “Laborers  or  capitalists  may 
organize for their  own  protection,  but have 
no right to take the  aggressive. 
In our so­
cial and industrial life and our  governifient, 
the socialist,  the anarchist,  and the  boycott 
have no place.”

The prevailing severe drought which seems 
to be common In  nearly every dairy locality 
in the country,  is  causing  a  strong upward 
movement in the price of butter and cheese. 
Butter is up fully one cent  from  the quota­
tions of two weeks  ago and  cheese has sus­
tained  an  advance  of  fully %  cent.  The 
drouth is decreasing the output of Michigan 
butter and cheese fully 20 per cent.

Only  one-fiftli  of  one  per  cent,  of  the 
shoes made in  this  country are produced in 
prisons according to statistics prepared under 
the direction of the Government.  To judge 
by the great cry raised by the labor yawpers, 
however,  one  would  naturally  be  led  to 
think  that  more  shoes  were  produced  by 
convict than by free labor.

A Newaygo patron of  T he  Tradesman 
writes as follows:  “Business is pretty quiet 
here at present, but every one takes a cheer­
ful view of the  situation and  looks for bet­
ter  times  ahead. 
If  T he  T radesman 
wasn’t a  regular  visitor, hard  times would 
seem still harder.”

AMONG TH E  TRADE.

IN  THE  CITY.

M. W.  Hufford, meat  dealer at  168 West 

Bridge street  has sold out.

J. E.  Kennedy  succeeds  Herner  &  Ken­
nedy  in  the  hardware  business  on  South 
Division  street.

J.  C.  Paris,  general  dealer  at Kent City, 
his closed out  his stock and  will engage in 
the  boot  and  shoe,  furnishing  goods  and 
millinery  business  at  606  South  Division 
street.

John Popp is  erecting  a two-story frame 
building,  18x41 feet in dimensions, adjacent 
to his residence at 75 Clancy street and will 
put  a  grocery stock  in  the  lower  floor as 
soon as the building is completed.

S. J.  Henry  and  R.  J-  ltosenberry,  for­
merly engaged in trade at  Cedar Hill,  Ohio, 
have  engaged  in  the  wholesale  fruit, pro­
duce and  commission  business  at  16 Cres- 
ent avenue  under  the  firm  name  of  S. J. 
Henry & Co.

Barker & Lehnen the  Blanchard  general 
dealers,  recently  gave  Arthur Meigs & Co. 
and Spring & Company,  as trustees,  a chat­
tel mortgage for  about  $2,800.  The  latter 
took possession of the stock last week, when 
Attorney Smith secured a  second  mortgage 
for $450  in  behalf  of  II.  Leonard  & Sons 
and other creditors and obtained posssession. 
The holders of the first mortgage then made 
a demand  for  the possession of  the  stock, 
which was acceded to after considerable  de­
lay. 

________________

President  Herrick will make a novel sug­
gestion at  the  next  meeting of  the  Retail 
Grocers’ Association,  which  is not  unlikely 
to  be  adopted  by  that  organization.  Mr. 
Herrick’s suggestion  is  that  a  certain por­
tion of every regular  meeting  of  the  Asso­
ciation be  set  apart  for  the  transaction of 
business  between the  jobber  and retailer— 
that the  jobber be  invited  to  present  any 
bargain  he may have  in  his  respective de­
partment and that members be given an op­
portunity to  purchase! any offerings  of  the 
kind they may need.  Mr. Herrick’s  idea is 
that the  expense  of  such  a  proceeding on 
the part of the  jobber will be comparatively 
nominal—that  by  availing  himself of  that 
opportunity he could see as many grocers to­
gether  as  he  or  his  representative  could 
possibly visit in the  course of  two or three 
days,  and that the advantage to both jobber 
and  retailer  would  be  manifest  from  the 
start.  The project is  certainly unique  and 
will undoubtedly be given a trial.

Charlotte.

C. C. Bailey,  for several years engaged in 
trade at Fife Lake, has removed to Buffalo, 
N. Y.,  where he has extensive landed inter­
ests.

Leavenworth & Co.,  formerly engaged  in 
general trade at Forman,  but  more  recently 
at Midland,  ltave  closed  out their  business 
at the latter place to Lewis Eastman.

A Big Rapids correspondent writes:  Mr. 
Brackney,  shipping clerk for J. G. McElwee 
& Co.  for  several  years,  has  put in a stock 
of boots and shoes in the  store formerly oc­
cupied by Wm. Jacques.

Woodhams  &  Bush  and  R.  Granger  & 
Son, both engaged  in  the  lumber  business 
at Plainwell, have consolidated their stocks 
and will hereafter  transact  business  under 
the name  of the Plainwell Lumber Co.

The firm of Herder  &  Lahuis,  and Wm. 
DeKruip,  of  the  firm  of  Moerdyke,  De- 
Kruip  & Co.,  Zeeland,  have  entered  into a 
copartnership and  have  become  owners  of 
the  stocks of  dry gohds,  groceries,  etc.,  of 
the two firms.

Barry & Lewis  and  will  engage  in  the sa­
loon  business.  Barry  &  Lewis  will  close

tire attention to the drug business.

Fred. Hotchkiss,  the  Hastings  druggist, 
has adopted the expedient originated in this 
State by F.  N.  Latimer,  of  Ludington,  in 
setting apart one front window for a chicken 
house  and  coloring  the  chicks  different 
shades, as  an  advertisement  for  a  certain 
line of dyes.

The suit brought against W.  B.  Falk, the 
Big  Rapids  druggist,  by C. G.  Gardner,  for 
damages sustained by the  latter  in  the sub­
stitution of  mercury for  morphine pills,  re­
sulted in  a  verdict  of  no  cause  of  action. 
Mr. Falk’s defense was that Gardner helped 
himself to pills in  the absence of  a regular 
clerk  and  therefore  had  only  himself  to 
blame for his narrow  escape from fatal poi­
soning.

A Big Rapids correspondent writes as fol­
lows:  The stock  of  boots  and  shoe  pur­
chased  of  T.  Edmonds  by  Wm.  Jacques 
some two months ago has been sold on chattel 
mortgage by W.  D.  Robinson & Co., of  De­
troit.  Mr.  Jacques  purchased it  subject to 
the mortgage, paying 8400 down and buying 
8600 more of goods and selling about 81,000 
worth, making  about  8600  involved  in the 
transaction,  with  a  judgment  holding over 
him.

Quinine from a Newspaper Standpoint.

From the New York Tribune.

It may be  some  consolation  to  sufferers 
from malaria  to know that  there is little if 
any impure quinine  in  the  market at pres­
ent.  This  desirable  state  of  things is not 
due to any sudden  spasm  of  virtue  on  the 
part  of  druggists,  but  arises  from  causes 
that are purely economical.  Quinine is low­
er in price now than  it  has  ever  been; it is 
selling wholesale at 55  cents  an ounce,  and 
it is so  much  cheaper  proportionately than 
its usual adulterants, that a loss rather than 
a profit would result ftom mixing these with 
it.

“People are almost certain to  get quinine 
pure this season,  no matter where they buy 
it,” said the proprietor of a large drug store. 
“The  most  unscrupulous  druggist  has no 
incentive  to  adulterate  it  now  as  he  did 
when he used to  pay $3  and  $4  an  ounce 
for it.  Then it paid to mix it with cinchona, 
which  sold for  SI  or  so  an  ounce.  Yes, 
that is about the only ingredient used and it 
has the properties though  not  the  strength 
of  quinine.  About  the  only  fault  found 
with a compound of  this  kind  was  that it 
lacked  power.  Nothing  injurious  ever  re­
sulted from its use  nor,  in  fact, do  I  know 
of any  substance  that  would  probably  be 
mixed with quinine which  might  harm the 
system.  The most despicable form of fraud 
practiced with this drug, is the short weight 
dodge.  This is worked  by some of  the ex­
treme  ‘cuprate’  stores  and  unprincipled 
dealers.  They sell a pill  that  contains but 
one grain of  quinine  for a  two-grain  pill, 
thereby making just double the usual profit, 
which  one  would  think  large  enough  at 
present.  An  ounce  of  quinine  costs  the 
retail druggist a little over 50 cents.  There 
are 480  grains  in  an  ounce.  At  a  cent a 
grain this gives a profit of over $4 an ounce, 
allowing for  the cost  of  the  rice flour and 
gum-arabic which form the body of the pills 
as well as for the time required to roll them. 
Some of the  high  priced  druggists  charge 
two cents a grain,  making a  profit of  about 
$9 an  ounce,  or  something  like  1,800  per 
cent on their investment.  The cheap stores 
I referred to  that give one  grain instead of 
two  to  their  customers,  make  almost  as 
much as this and few of them are ever found 
out.”

“How do you account  for  the  cheapness 

of the drug at this time?” was asked.

“Quinine,  as  you  are  aware,  is  derived 
from  Peruvian  or  Jesuits  bark,  obtained 
from  various  species  of  cinchona  which 
grow  in  the  Columbian,  Ecuador,  Bolivian 
and  Peruvian  forests  of  South  America.

The  Countess  de  la  Cinchón,  wife  of  a 
Peruvian viceroy, was cured of a fever by its 
use, and when she returned to Europe intro­
duced the medicine there  about  the  middle 
of the seventeenth  century. 
It  derived the 
name cinchona from  her.  This  bark  used 
to be  gathered  by  the  Cascarillas  Indians 
chiefly, who obtained it by cutting down the 
trees  that  produced  it.  This,  of  course, 
soon thinned  out  the  more  valuable  trees 
and such was the  reckless  stupidity of  the 
Peruvian  government  that  though  it  put 
every obstacle in the way of the  tree  being 
planted elsewhere,  it never  attempted by  a 
system of forestry to renew  the  riches thus 
improvidently wasted.  The result was that 
quinine became  scarcer  and  scarcer  every 
year; the price of it went up to an extravagant 
figure; at one time it seemed  as if this most 
important drug was  likely to  become unob­
tainable. 
It was at this time that  the East 
Indian government determined to try to nat­
uralize the cinchona tree in  India.  To  ob­
tain seeds and young plants  was a  difficult 
task, but  Professor  Clement  R. Markham, 
Dr.  Spruce and others  accomplished it, and 
in a  short time a  flourishing plantation was 
yielding large  quantities  of  quinine on the 
Neilgherry  Hills  of  southern  India.  The 
tree has since  become  naturalized  in Java, 
the  mountainous  regions  of  Jamaica  and 
many other places,  so that we are  almost if 
not  entirely  independent  of  the  Peruvian 
forests for this  great  febrifuge. 
It is  this 
increased production of it all over the world, 
one might  say, which  is  making  the  drug 
cheaper and  cheaper  every year  as  the de­
mand  for  it  becomes  more  widespread in 
this and all other countries where

Dose, swear and bake’.”

Forty-Three Out of Sixty-One.

At the third regular  meeting of  the State

poses, which was held at Detroit last week, 
sixty-one candidates  presented  themselves. 
Certificates were issued to forty-three appli- 
cante,  the requisite  being  that  the average 
be  over  50  per  cent.  Thirteen  candidates 
reached  the  required  limit,  twenty  stood

Peppermint  Prospects  Not  So  Good  As a 

Month Ago.

Graham Roys  returned  last  week from a 
trip through  the  Michigan  peppermint dis­
trict  and  was  seen  by a  reporter  of  T he 
Tradesman and questioned as to the status 
of the crop.

“The appearance of  the  peppermint crop 
has changed considerably in the last month,” 
said  Mr.  Roys.  “The  fact  is, many went 
into  the  business  without  experience, and 
with much of  the  land  in  poor  condition. 
Late planting,  poor  roots  and  the  drouth 
have changed the  prospects  to less than an 
average crop.  A Mendon man tells me that 
he will not have half  an  average  crop.  A 
Florence man says that  fields  which looked 
so well four weeks ago must have rain soon 
or it will be a failure. 
I am sure that there 
cannot be more than an average crop, even if 
rain comes this  week.”

Beyond Redemption.

“Do you believe in the power of the Holy 
Spirit?” asked a street preacher of a gentle­
man in the crowd before him.

“I’m sorry to  say  that  at  present  I  do 

not,” replied the gentleman.

“Did you ever  believe  it?”  pursued  the 

preacher.

“ Yes,  several years ago.”
“Then why not now, dear,  dying, sinning 
brother,  why not now?” pleaded the preach­
er.

“I’ve been elected to Congress since then, 

that’s why.”

The preacher picked out another man.
Ink and rust stains may be  removed from 
wash  goods,  says  the  Rep. Anal.  Chende, 
by applying to the  spots a  mixture consist­
ing of two parts of  tartaric  and one part of 
oxalic  acid,  and  afterwards  rinsing  thor­
oughly.  This preparation  does  not  injure 
the most delicate  fabric.

Stranger (to  the  country  storekeeper)— 
Can you tell  me  where  I  can  find  James 
Holt,  who  wrote  this  recommention  for 
Coffin’s consumption cure?  He lives here,  I 
believe.  Merchant—He did before—.  Stran­
ger—Before  what?  Merchant—Before  he 
died of consumption.

The Chemical News offers  all housekeep­
ers good advice in suggesting that all flavor­
ing extracts, especially  lemon,  be  kept  in 
dark  closets.  Sunlight  changes  many  of 
these into  unpleasant  and  sometimes dan­
gerous compounds.

In some localities milk adulteration is car­
ried on to such an extent  that pure water is 
hard to obtain.

A Warning.

Pain is given for the wise purpose of inform­
ing us of the  presence of danger and disease. 
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 Colden 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-

How to Endorse  a  Check.

Very few otherwise  intelligent  and  edu­
cated  people  understand  how  to  properly 
endorse a bank check payable to their order, 
and few realize the inconvenience they cause 
by placing their endorsement in an awkward 
position.  An  observance  of  the following 
rules will enable anybody to place their sig­
nature in the proper place:

1.  Write across the back—not lengthwise.
2.  The top of the  back is  the left  of  the 

face.

3.  To deposit a check,  write  “For depos­
it,” and below this your name.  A clerk not 
having the power of  attorney to  sign  or in­
dorse checks,  can deposit  his  firm’s checks 
by writing on the  top of the  back “For de­
posit only to  credit o f-----,  and  below this
write his own name.

4.  Simply  writing  your  name  on  the
back of a check signifies  that  it  has passed 
through your  hands  and  is  payable to the 
bearer. 
»
5.  Always  endorse a check  just as it ap­
pears  on  the  face.  For  instance,  if  the 
check is payable to “G. Read,” endorse “G. 
Read;”  if  to  “Geo.  Read”  endorse  “Geo. 
Read;”  if  to  “George  F.  Read”  endorse 
“George F.  Read.”  If  the  spelling of  the 
name  on the  face  of  the  check  is wrong, 
endorse first  just as  the  face appears, and 
below  the  proper  way.  For  instance, the 
check is payftble on face to “George Reade,” 
endorse  “George  Reade,”  and  below  this 
first indorsement  write what  it should have 
been,  “George Read.”

6.  If you wish to make the check payable
to  some  particular  person,  write  “Pay  to 
-----or  order. 

---------.

In England all checks are payable to bear­
er,  but in this country all strangers present­
ing checks for  payment  must  be identified 
by some one known to  the bank.

Medicines in Disguise.

“Do you know,” said  a  bon  vivant  to a 
Chicago Mail  man  as  he  poured a  liberal 
supply of  Worcester sauce  over his chop at 
the  club,  “that  this  relish  was  first  intro­
duced as a medicine?”  The club man didn’t 
know it.  “It  was,  though. 
It  contains at 
least  one  of  the  most  nauseating  drugs 
known,  assafoetida, and the original formula 
was evolved  by a noted  physician for a no­
ble patient, whose high living had impaired 
his digestion.  An effort  was  made  to dis­
guise the drugs,  and  it is  generally conced­
ed  that  the  attempt  was  successful,  but 
they  are  there  all  the  same.”  And  the I 
stream of information was interrupted while 
the drug  drenched  chops  were  put  where 
they would do the most good, no diminution 
of appetite following the revelation.

“That is not  the  only  medicine  in com­
mon use without a suspicion  of  its origin,” 
he continued.  “The famous Eau de Cologne 
was  first put  up  as  a  panacea  for all the 
ills ¿hat flesh was heir to. 
It was taken in­
ternally and used as a lotion.  At the house 
of the original maker  in the ancient city on 
the Rhine is to be seen the old circulars and 
labels in Italian and French, setting forth the 
valueof the cure all. 
Its remedial effect no 
proving so great as its elegance as a perfume 
and as its  sale for  a medicine  began  to be 
restricted by taxes and stamps and licenses, 
it was  sold without any indication of its in­
tended use,  and it is now an example of the 
survival of the fittest. 
I am  told  that even 
now it is used  as a ‘tipple’ by many French 
and English ladies.”

Cheese Two Centuries Old. 

Washington Despatch to the Boston Herald.

Boyd  Winchester,  the  Consul-General of 
the United States  to  Switzerland,  has  just 
completed  some  exhaustive  researches  in 
regard to the cheese  industry  of  that coun­
try.  He has made  certain  discoveries that 
the cheese  makers of  this country will be a 
little slow  to  believe.  He  claims  to  have 
seen cheeses that were more  than 200  years 
old.  One of the customs that formerly pre­
vailed in the cheese regions of that country, 
Mr.  Winchester says,  was for friends of the 
bride and bridegroom to  join  in the presen­
tation on their wedding  day of an elaborate 
cheese.  This  cheese was  used as a family 
register and heirloom on  which  the births, 
marriages and deaths were recorded.  He says 
that he has seen some of these “old cheeses” 
that date back  to 1660. 
In many  parts  of 
Switzerland cheese forms the  principal diet 
of the  people.  He  says  that  new* cheese 
often causes sickness.  When this is the case 
the patient is  treated  in  the  homoeopathic 
fashion  with  old  cheese,  which  generally 
effects a cure.

Maxims for  Merchants.

From the Dry Goods Chronicle.

If a man cheats you  once it  is his  fault, 

but if he cheats you twice it is your fault.

The majority of those who engage in bus- 
inesi,  strictly, so-called,  fail  at  least  once 
in their lifetime.

Wisdom in business  consists  in  adopting 
such rules as tend to make the  business  an 
agreeable pursuit.

Books  have  been  called  the  merchant’s 
repeating clock, to tell him how he goes on. 
They should be carefully looked after.

There is no position so  strong  as that of 
the man who stands upon his head—if he be 
not induced to the activity of  just  thinking 
and clear reasoning he will hardly be coerced 
to i t

When an  agent has deviated from his or­
ders and you do not intend to assent to it, give 
immediate notice of  your  dissent.  Silence 
is considered in law an  equivalent to a rati­
fication.

A merchant who  desires  to  make a wise 
disposition of his time should so regulate  it 
as to give each of these great sources of hap­
piness—religion, knowledge and business 
its proportionate share of  his attention.

A merchant  should  not  only be  a  good 
judge of the articles  in which  he deals, but 
he should also know  where  they are manu­
factured,  of what, the manufacturer’s prices, 
how bought,  and  the  best  markets  to buy 
and sell  in.

There  is  unquestionably  an  analogy  be­
tween all the various pursuits  of  mankind. 
Those who have been distinguished for suc­
cess in  business are  of  the same  stamp as 
those who have  been  eminent  in  politics, 
war,  literature or science.

In  all cases of credit the  seller  impliedly 
promises to deal fairly, and charges a profit 
proportionate to his opinion of the risk, and 
the buyer agrees to  make  a fair representa 
tion of his  circumstances,  to  act with such | 
prudence  and  to  live  with  such  economy 
that he may reasonably hope to pay his bills 
at maturity.

A merchant who aims to  succeed in busi­
ness must aim at  these  two points; first, to 
be sure that  he can  satisfy a wide  demand 
for the articles he  deals  in  on  the  lowest 
practical  terms;  secondly,  that  everybody 
within the  proper  scope  of  his business is 
made aware of his  ability  and  confident of 
his disposition to do so.

A merchant who resolves,  but  suffers  his 
. resolution, to be weakened by the first coun­
ter  suggestion of  a  friend,  who  fluctuates 
from opinion to opinion,  from  plan to plan, 
and veers  like a weathercock to every point 
of the compass,  with every breath of caprice 
that blows, can never  attain to greatness or 
success.

Cheese Made from Potatoes.

A foreign paper says that  cheese is made 
from  potatoes  in  Thuringia  and  Saxony. 
After  having collected  a quantity of  pota- 
' toes of good  quality,  giving  the  preference 
to a large,  white  kind,  they are boiled  in a 
cauldron,  and,  after  becoming  cool,  they 
are reduced to a pulp,  either  by means of  a 
grater or  mortar.  To  five  pounds  of  this 
pulp,  which  ought to  be equal as  possible, 
is added  one  pound of  sour  milk and  the 
necessary quantity  of  salt.  The  whole  is 
kneaded together and  the  mixture  covered 
up and allowed to lie for three or four days, 
according  to  the  season.  At  the  end  of 
this time it is kneaded anew, andthecheeses 
are placed in little baskets,  when the super­
fluous  moisture  escapes.  They  are  then 
allowed to dry in  the  shade,  and  placed in 
layers in large vessels,  where  thej  must re­
main  for  fifteen  days.  The  older  these 
cheeses are the more their quality improves. 
Three kinds are made.  The first  and more 
common  is  niade  as  detailed  above,  the 
second with four parts of  potatoes  and two 
parts  of  curded  milk; 
third  with 
two  parts  of  potatoes  and  four  parts 
of cow  or ewe  milk.  These  cheeses  have 
this  advantage  over  other  kinds—they  do 
not  engender  worms; and  they  keep fresh 
for  a  number  of  years,  provided  they are 
placed in a dry situation and in  well closed 
vessels.

A New Drummer Yarn.

From the Boston Transcript.

One day a certain commercial pilgrim was 
in the  wire  grass  region  and  stopped at a 
town while the  superior  court  was in  ¿ses­
sion.  After doing up the  place  he dropped 
into  the  court  house,  principally  because 
there was nowhere else  to drop.  While he 
was there one of the  lawyers  handed an or­
der  to  the  judge  for  ins  signature.  His 
Honor put on his  specs  gravely  and began 
to read the  wanting  slowly.  He made very 
little progress,  but  stumbled  from word to 
word with the  greatest  difficulty and  liait-

The drummer  leaned  over  to  a stalwart 

countryman and remarked:

“Your judge doesn’t seem to read writing

readily.”

“Read writin’!  h—1”  exclaimed  the  dis­
gusted man‘“he can’t hardly  read  readin’!

The  Word Bankrupt.

Few words have so remarkable history as 
the familiar  word  bankrupt.  The  money 
changers of Italy had,  it is  said,  benches or 
stalls in  the bourse  or  exchange  in former 
times, and at these  they conducted their or 
dinary  business.  When  any  of  them  fell 
back  in  the  world  and  became  insolvent 
his  bench  was  broken,  and  the  name  of 
broken  bench, or  bancho  rotto, was  given 
him.  When  the  word  was  adopted  into 
English,  it  was  nearer  the  Italian  than it 
now is, being  “bankerout" instead of batik 
rupt.

A Popular Creed.

Dimes and dollars!  Dollars and dimes!
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes'.
If a man is down, give him a thrust!
Trample the beggar into the dust! 
Presumptuous proverty’s quite  appalling;
Knock him over!  kiok him for falling!
If a man is up, oh! lift him up higher!
Your soul’s for sale, and he is buyer! 
Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes!
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes!

I know of a poor but worthy youth,
Whose hopes are built on amaiden s truth; 
But the  maiden  will break  her  vows  with 
For  a  wooer  cometh  whose  claims  are

ease, 

.

A  hollow heart and an empty head,
A soul well trained in villany’s school, 
Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes!

A face well tinged with the brandy red;
And-cash-sweet-cash he knowth the rule. 
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes!

I know a bold and an honest man,
Who tries to live on the Christian plan; 
But poor he is and poor he’ll be;
A scorned and hated wretch is he.
At home he meets the starving wife,
Abroad he leadeth a leper’s life.
They struggle before the fearful odds,
Who will not bow to the people’s gods, 
Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes;
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes!

So get the wealth! no matter how:
••No questions asked.’’ of the rich I trow! 
Steal by night, and steal by day,
(Doing it all in a legal way);
Join the Church and never forsake her, 
Learn to cant and insult yoar Maker;
Be hypocrite, liar, knave and fool;
But don’t be poor!  Remember the rule: 
Rimes and dollars, dollars and dimes;
An empty pocket’s the woret of crimes!

How to Select a Ham.

Do not select too lean a Joint.  -The fat of 
a ham is  often  considered  so  much  waste 
weight; so  it may be  in many families, but 
one would  not  buy  a  very  lean  piece  of 
beef for roasting; it would surely be dry and 
tough when cooked.  A well fed and quick­
ly fatted pig will  furnish tender,  juicy and 
fine flavored meat  Bear this  in  mind and 
you will be  willing to lose  a little extra fat 
for  your gain  in  the  superior  qualities  of 
every other ounce of the fish.  Let the joint 
be well  rounded  and  plumb  rather  than 
thin and flat,  and  see that  the  skin is thin 
and pliable.

“Sounded the Warning.”

From the Saranac Local.

The city of  Grand  Rapids  has a class of 
men who fondly imagine that the world was 
created  for  their  especial  benefit.  This 
class, fearing  that  unless  a  celebration of 
some sort was  advertised  for the Fourth in 
that city, the rural towns might have a large 
turn out,  got  up a snide  program  and with 
the aid of the  daily papers,  drew  in a large 
crowd.  Of course  these  people  were  dis­
gusted, but the  object was attained—Grand 
Rapids  got  their  spending  money.  Tiie 
T radesman  sounded  the  warning  of  the 
imposture and for it deserves due credit.
Grand Rapids Dairy Board of Trade.
At the regular meeting of the Grand Rap­
ids Dairy Board of Trade,  held on Monday, 
the offerings  consisted  of  fifty  full  cream 
cheese,  June  make,  and  twenty-five  tubs 
creamery butter.  The cheese  was bid in at 
7 cents and the butter sold for 15% cents.

J. C. B.  Galer, of  Ingersoll, Ont., and  J. 
H. Murdaugh, of Croswell,  write  that  they 
will attend the meetings of the Board when­
ever  there  is  sufficient  quantity  of cheese 
offered to  make an export shipment.

The  Grocery  Market.

Business is only fair  and  collections par­
take of  the  droutht somewhat.  Sugars are 
without  marked  change.  Package  coffees 
have been advanced  % cent.  Other articles 
in the grocery line are about steady.

Oranges-are  about out  of  market.  Lem­
ons  are  in  good  demand and  fair  supply. 
The market is firm.  Bananas  are  in  good 
supply and fair to  fine  in  quality.  Candy 
is steady.  Nuts are steady.

Had to  Take it Off.

From the Philadelphia Herald.

“Mamma,”  she  said,  “I  don’t  like  the 

way this bustle sets.”

“Neither  do  I,” was  the  prompt  reply 
“And, besides, your father is swearing about 
the rat trap being  lost,  so  you  must really 
take it off.”

Good Words Unsolicited.

Geo.  8.  Hartom,  general  dealer,  Assyria: 

‘‘T he  T radesman is a fine paper.”

B. T. Esier, general dealer, Grand Ledge:  “I 
I  consider  it  the  best 

am  pleased  with  it. 
paper of the kind I have ever seen.”

Peddlers who claim to be selling groceries 
at wholesale  prices  are  working  the rural 
districts in the  interior of  the  State,  to the 
intense disgust of local dealers.  The coun­
try  papers  in  half  a  dozen 
localities 
have  taken  up  the  cudgels  for  the  mer­
chants,  and  caution  farmers  not  to  have 
anything to do with the peddlers, who, they 
assert,  are  “transient  swindlers,”  “sharp­
ers,”  “unprincipled,”  “scoundrels,”  and 
everything else that is bad.

MISCELLANEOUS.

A Knight of the Grip married the girl who 
dusted his  room  and furniture, because, he 
said,  he uuderstood  dusters  were very use­
ful to traveling  men.

C.  B.  Howard, formerly on  the  road  for 
Hibbard,  Spencer,  Bartlett  &  Co., of  Chi­
cago,  has engaged to travel for the Plumb & 
Lewis Manufacturing Co.

A.  A.  Howard,  of Coldwater, [was in town 
Monday on his way to Muskegon, where he 
will spend several weeks  with friends.  He 
was accompanied  by his  wife, A.  F.  Peake 
—he of the white  hat.  Mr.  Howard  repre­
sents the Merrick  Thread Co.,  of  Holyoke, 
Mass.

C.  Crawford wishes it understood  that he 
participated in  the  base  ball  game  at  the 
traveling men’s picnic.  And T he T rades­
man might add that had it not been for Mr. 
Crawford, Mr.  Cole’s  side  would  not  have 
won  so  signal  a  victory  over  the  cohorts 
of the opposing nijie.

The drummer’s profession is prehistoric 

at least it dates back to the founding of Car­
thage, the  greatest  commercial  city of  an 
cient times. 
It is said that Queen Dido, be­
ing conspired  against  by a  family relative, 
fled from Tyre and  landed  at the site upon 
which Carthage was artef ward built. Here she 
erected a palace,  and her fame for'luxurious 
living  drew  after  her  a  train  of  the  mer­
chants of Tyre, who could not afford to lose 
so valuable a customer as Dido was.  Many 
of them remained at  the  place in order that 
they migtyt supply her with  the Tyrian pur­
ple,  and  thus  it  was  that  Carthage  was
founded.

India Rubber, 
rom the Commercial Bulletin.
The change effected in rubber  by the vul­
canizing process as  discovered  by Goodyear 
may be compared  to  what  is  wrought in a 
perishable bide  or  skin  by tanning; it pro­
duces an article  that  has  all  the  valuable 
properties of  rubber  in  its  highest  perfec 
tion, without the imperfections of the native 
ubber; it can be  made as  hard as iron with 
, beautiful polish  almost equal  to glass,  or 
it can be made  as elastic  as the native rub­
ber.

In  the manufacture  of  rubber  from 3 to 
10 per cent, of sulphur  and various metallic 
oxides, chiefly lead and  zinc,  are  combined 
with it, the quality of  the latter  depending 
on  the  elasticity  and  other  properties re 
piired  of  the  article  to  be  manufactured, 
and to  judiciously combine  the  substances 
with  rubber  in suitable  proportions to pro­
duce the desired results  requires great skill 
and experience,  besides  these,  honesty on 
the part of  the  manufacturer  is also essen­
tial,  for it is comparatively an easy thing to 
introduce mere  adulterating substances into 
the compound, and thereby cheapen the pro­
duct at the expense of the quality—a process 
that is not only annoying but also expensive 
to the consumer.

It is a  common  error  among  the  many, 
who are not conversant  with the subject, to 
suppose that rubber,  in being  made into the 
various  shapes,  is  melted  and  run  into  a 
mould like iron or lead.  Nothing of the sort 
occurs.  Before the  discovery of  vulcaniza­
tion,  solvents were experimented  with,  but 
since that event no solvents have been used; 
the intermixing is done by machinery, most­
ly by huge rolls, after the manner of mixing 
dough for bread,  and  at no  stage  up to the 
time of vulcanizing is the rubber softer than 
stiff dough. 
It is pressed and moulded into 
various forms required.

Flour from Sweet Potatoes.

From the Milling World.

Wheat and other grains are likely to have 
more or less of a  rival in  the sweet potato. 
A patent  has been  issued  for a  process of 
treating  sweet  potatoes  for  making  flour. 
The object  of tire invention  is to produce  a 
wholesome and nutritious article of diet from 
the sweet potato—one that will not be liablq 
to  become  frozen  or  decayed,  and  which 
shall embody all the valuable proportions of 
the  potato, especially  the  starch  and  sac­
charine matte*-.  The  sweet potato is a lux­
ury,  and when  in its  natural  state and out 
of season, is  difficult to  get,  except at exor­
bitant  prices, owing  to  its  liability  to  rot 
and freeze.  This  invention  designs  so  to 
treat the  potato that  the  starchy  and  sac­
charine matters,  with a quantity of the glu­
tinous  portions, may be  obtained and read­
ily transported to any portion of  the  world 
as a staple  product  similar  to  flour; and it 
being  a  well  known  fact  that  chemical 
changes which accrue to  the  liquid  portion 
of the potato in climates other than where it 
grew destroy its natural flavor, an  essential 
feature of the process  is to  quickly evapor­
ate such liquids while the potato is  yet in a 
healthy condition,  and  reduce  it  to a flour 
or meal which will retain  the natural flavor 
of the esculent.  The  product  obtained ac­
cording to the  invention  may be made into 
puddings,  pies,  cakes,  custards  and  the 
like.

Measured in the language of the gas com­
panies,  the electrical lightcan now be profit­
ably furnished at $1 per thousand feet.

Points for Retailers.

From the Dry Goods Chronicle.

Man is the  only trading  animal  in exist­

Let yourself feel a want  before  you pro­

ence.
vide against it.

Brand  the  man  who  violates  confidence 

and abuses trust as a thief.

The  true  definition of  merchant  is,  men 

who live by buying and selling.

“A busy  man,” says  a  Turkish proverb, 
“is troubled with but one devil, an idle man 
with a thousand.”

Business,  in  one  sense,  means  employ­
ment,  or  serious  engagement,  as  distin­
guished from trivial transactions.

Whatever  is  expected  by  one  side  and 
known to be expected by the  other,  is to be 
deemed a part or  condition of  any contract.
Did you  ever  know  anybody to  stick to 
any  kind  of  business, no  matter  how un­
promising, ten  years  at  most who  did not 
prosper?
It is a general rule of  law  that whenever 
a person  has power  to  do  a  thing  he may 
consequently,  as incident  to his  right, do it 
by attorney or agent.

There is no success in  common  life with­
out industry.  To have  the  character for it 
is  the  passport  to  favor,  and  to practice it 
gives daily additional power and worth.

Be cautious in sanctioning acts  unauthor­
ized by you, even if  they are apparently in­
significant or to  your  advantage,  as permit­
ting such acts  confers an  implied authority, 
upon the supposed agent.

Those  kinds  of  business  are  the  safest 
which  are  concerned  in  the  production, 
manufacture or sale of articles of commerce, 
and on which  a  large  percentage of  profit 
can  be  made,  though  the  cost  to the  con­
sumer is  inconsiderable.

Many  young  clerks  seem to  think  that 
when they labor  at  the  employment  regu­
larly assigned  to them  it is all that  should 
be  expected. 
It  is  probably  all  that  is 
expected,  but  the  faithful  clerk  will  not 
neglect opportunities when  by a little extra 
labor he can do his employer service.

A good buyer is a man of few words.  He 
posts himself as  to the market, goes  to the 
houses at which he usually deals, and makes 
his offer as near the market  value as he can 
without comment on the prices of others.  If 
accepted, the bargain is  closed; if  declined, 
he doesn’t want it, or will  look further.

Why is the Wayland  cheese  better  than 
kny other?  Because the maker operates the 
actory on the sweet  curd  theory, and  does 
tot allow the goodness in the cheese to burn 
tp with the acids.
“Silver King” coffee is all the rage.  One 
liver  present  given  with  every  1  pound 
tackage.
L.  Winternitz sells the  best and cheapest 
inegar ever handled at this market.

His X’s Were Big.

Not  long ago a young Boston grocer went 
out into a northern  Massachusets city to es­
tablish  a  grocery  on  a  large  and  liberal 
scale, says  the  Record.  He  rented  a  big 
store, filled it up with electric lights, put an 
immense  and  glittering  coffee  mill  in  the 
front window, filled up  his store  with new 
goods, stacked up in ingeniously constructed 
pyramids and the like,  and  invited  patron­
age with  double  column  advertisements in 
the daily papers.oThe trade started in brisk­
ly enough,  but  he soon  discovered that  his 
patrons  were  somewhat  interested  in  the 
prices that he  sold  his  goods at, as well as 
in the  imposing  surroundings  of  his  busi­
ness.  There was a rival establishment very 
much like  his own,  with electric lights, big 
coffee  mill,  glittering  pyramids  of  baking 
powder,  boxes, etc., further down the street, 
and purchasers were  continually comparing 
his prices with the rates  in  this rival store.
One day a male  customer,  with an open, 

confiding face, came in and remarked: 

“What do  you sell  the  best Haxall flour 

for?”

“Five dollars and a half a barrel.”
“But the other store down the street sells 

it for five dollars.”

“Best Haxall,  is it?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Well,” said the new  grocer,  “they don’t 
sell this kind of  flour for five  dollars.  Did 
you notice how many X’s there were on the 
barrels down at the other store?”

“There were three,  sir.”
“Well, I’ll sell  you this  flour  for $5 and 
it has four X’s  on the  band!  Do  you  see? 
They can’t begin to do that for you!”

The open faced man went out and traveled 

right over to the other  store.

“The man in the new store,” said he “of­
fers to sell me  the  best  Haxall  flour, with 
four X’s  on  the  barrel, for  $5,  and  your 
flour hasn’t got but three X’s.”
The grocer scratched his head.
“Did you notiee the size of the X’s on his 

barrels?” he finally asked.

“Yes,” said  the  customer.  “They  were 

about three inches long.

“Ah, that makes the difference, don’t you 
see.  The X’s  on my barrels  are six inches 
long.  Just look at them?”

The customer was convinced, and ordered 

a barrel delivered at once.

The grocer  from Boston  is beginning  to 
get an idea  of  the  sort  of  competition  he 
has to fight,  and  thinks  that when  he gets 
the population we^l  learned he will manage 
to make a living.
