TH E  DRUMMER’S  GHOST.

W ritten Especially fo r The Tradesman.

In the fall of ’72,  I was  on  the  road  for 
Jones,  Smith & Jones,  wholesale  boot  and 
shoe dealers of Chicago.  For three months 
previous to the time of which  I write I had 
been calling on the trade of  Iowa  and  Ne­
braska,  but on my arrival at the  house  one 
Saturday in November, I was informed that 
I should take Indiana and Ohio,  next  trip, 
as Berger, whose territory it  was,  was  ill 
and unable to go,out.  Accordingly, I made 
my  preparations,  fixed  up  a  new line of 
samples and started out the following Tues­
day.

It 

Being a stranger to the merchants on this 
route, my success' was not phenomenal,  and 
I  reached the little  town  of B -—■—, in In­
diana,  on a dark, drizzly  November  night, 
thoroughly tired out  and  heartily  discour­
aged. 
nearly  nine o’clock when the
train steamed  into  the  station.  The depot 
was situated half a mile from the town, and 
there was no  vehicle  of  any  description to 
convey  myself  and  grips  to a hotel.  This 
added not a little to  my  already  great dis­
comfort;  but,  as  nothing  better  offered,  I 
hired a surly-looking  fellow—a Pole or Bo­
hemian I judged,  by his  conversation—to 
carry my  grips,  and started  out  to  walk 
through the deep,  sticky  mud  to  the town.
Peter,  the Polish  tatterdemalion  who es­
corted me, understood and  spoke  so  little 
English, that our conversation was extreme­
ly limited.  His sallow face  and sharp fea­
tures  rendered  him  particularly  unprepos­
sessing.

“Tell me, my worthy friend,” I asked, as 
we waded side by side through the mud, “do 
you know Mr.  Talbot, the  hotel-keeper?” 

“De old Starotsky.”
* ‘Good; but what can I  do in your old Sta­

rotsky?”
“Die! ”
“God forbid!  that does not at all chime in 

with my arrangements.”

“Stone dead;  die!”
“Why,  what have I done?”
“American—no Pole.”  »
“I am an American,  certainly.”
“Know that.”
“What do you mean by dying then?”
“So,  and so,  and  so!”  And  the  fe!low 
thrust the air as though he  clenched  a dag­
ger.  He then pointed to his heart, groaned 
and rolled his eyes in a maiinbr awful to be­
hold. 
I began to feel rather uncomfortable, 
for Peter had by no  means the look  of one 
beside himself;  moreover,  the hangers-on at 
a railway station were seldom  lunatics.

“I think we are at cross-purposes, my ex­
remarked. 

cellent  friend,”  I  at  length 
“What do you mean by ‘die?’”

“Kill! ” and he gave me a  wild,  sidelong 

glance.

“How kill?”
“When night  comes.”
“When  night  comes—this  very  night? 

Your wits are wool-gathering.”

“No understand.”
I shook my head and  desisted  from  any 
further  attempts at  conversation.  We evi­
dently could not make each other out.  And 
yet,  there was fearful meaning in the scoun­
drel’s words. 
I was well  aware  that  this 
part of Indiana was infested with a gang of 
lawless  men,  sometimes  called  “ White 
Caps,” and that several  murders  had  been 
laid at their  door.  What  if  the  dunder- 
headed fellow had meant to convey a warn­
ing to me? 
I  determined  to  divulge  the 
whole  to  the  proprietor  of  the  hotel—or 
Starotsky,  as  the Pole  called it—as soon as 
we arrived. 
It was  an old,  weather-beaten 
structure, situated on a dull,  remote  street. 
Ere we reached it, I observed how each pas­
ser-by cast a furtive glance at its time-worn 
walls.  My guide did the same;  and, setting 
my grips down on the  steps,  pointed to the 
door and shuffled off without a  word orges- 
of salutation.

As I entered the old hotel, I was puzzled to 
know where to find Mr. Talbot, the landlord, 
who, by  the  way,  was  an acquaintance of 
mine.  The house was quite spacious.  The 
creaking of the rusty door-hinges resounded 
through  the  whole  building,  yet  without 
bringing anyone to  ascertain  who might be 
there.

I  discovered  an  apartment  on my left, 
opened the door  and  went  in.  The room 
was evidently  a  bar-room,  for  pn one side 
was a long counter,  and  several suspicious- 
looking black bottles stood  on  a  shelf  be­
hind  it.  As  I   stepped  further  into  the 
room, which was lighted by a dim kerosene 
lamp, I discovered,  to  my  horror,  a  coffin 
standing on two  wooden  chairs  in the cen­
ter of thé roôm. 
If I   be  always  polite  to 
the living,  as traveling men always are, still 
more so am I to  the dead. 
I  was  about to 
retire as gently as I could,  when  a  parting 
glance at the coffin showed me  that its hap­
less occupant was none other than Mr.  Tal­
bot,  the landlord, who  had  been  called on, 
poor fellow, to his tuni,  to  discharge  that 
great tax so peremptorily demanded of us by 
that grim  collector,  Death.  There he lay, 
regardless alike of black  bottle or dice-box, 
although to life an ardent, admirer of both, 
calm and composed as though  he had never 
»hared to the  joys  Or  sorrows  of  this  life. 
Indescribably  shocked;  I   rushed  from the 
chamber of death andsôught  relief  in  the * 
longf gloopiy corridor,  ; K h ato n  earth was

I to do?  Here I was, in a town  of which I 
had never even heard until sent there by my 
firm, and no other hotel in the place!  What 
was I to do?  Where to  lay  my  head,  or 
how to find lodgings?

My gloomy reflections were here disturbed 
by  the  creaking  of  a  door  on  its  rusty 
hinges,  whose harsh grating jarred strange­
ly on my neves.  A villainous-looking  man 
came up the stairs, contemplated me with  a 
broad  griu of  astonishment  and  at  length 
addressed me.

“Howdy?  Do you want  a  room  for the 

night?”

“Yes,” I replied;  “after I have had some 

supper, if you can supply me with it?”

“Oh,  certainly,” and without further par­
ley he took* my grips  and,  signalling to me 
to follow him,  led me  into a  long room,  in 
the center of which was  a  long  table,  with 
half-a-dozen rough-looking  characters  seat­
ed around it playing  cards.  After clearing 
an end off,  my supper  was  brought  in by a 
slouchy-looking girl,  and I sat down among 
the rough crew to eat. 
I was  nearly  fam 
ished, and,  therefore,  ate  heartily  of  the 
rough food prepared  for  me, notwithstand 
ing the glances of curiosity and surprise cast 
in my direction.  After  supper,  I enquired 
of the man  who  seemed  to act the part of 
host,  how the landlord met his death.  His 
reply,  as follows,  I have condensed as much 
as possible:

Mr.  Talbot  had  been  passing the  after­
noon playing cards and drinking with a par­
ty of friends.  The fumes of  Indiana  corn 
juice had mounted to the heads of the party 
Words grew high,  blows  were  exchanged, 
and one of the party dealt  Mr. Talbot three 
or  four  blows  with  a  knife,  any  one  of 
which was  of  itself  sufficient  to have ex­
tinguished life. 
In order to avoid incurring 
the penalties of Indiana justice,  the  guilty 
parties had taken  themselves  off—whither 
no one could tell.  He  explained to me,  al­
so, that my friend  Peter  was  a half-witted 
fellow, and that  his  pantomimic  gestures 
referred, in all probability,  to the fate of the 
landlord.  The  narrative  finished, he con 
ducted me up the  rickety  staircase  to the 
apartment provided for me. 
It was of large 
dimensions and contained an  old-fashioned 
bedstead,  an  old  table  and  two  or three 
dusty  chairs.  Suspended  to.,the wall was 
a shabby looking-glass,  almost  bereft  of its 
reflecting powers, in  a quaint, old-fashioned 
frame, while the  wall  itself  was  covered 
with dingy,  smoke-begrimed  paper. 
I felt 
by no means at ease in  this  lonesome  old 
barn,  as I had a considerable sum of money 
on my person,  which I had  collected on my 
trip.  But I kept  my  own  counsel,  partly 
from sheer nervousness,  and  partly because 
I did not wish to  appear  at  all  daunted at 
being  in  such  close  proximity to a corpse. 
Lebrecht lighted a  lamp  and  bidding  me 
good-night, left me alone.

I doubted the honesty  of  the  fellow and 
almost determined to leave the hotel at once, 
but I held  back  from  very  shame.  Why 
should I make him the confidant of my tim­
idity? 
I had no doubt that he would  spend 
the night in some room  or  other  to  keep 
watch over the murdered  body  of  his  em- 
ploper.

I  do  not  believe  in  ghosts,  but yet at 
night-time I own to being  somewhat appre­
hensive  of  their  appearance.  This  may 
seem to involve a paradox,  but I only state 
the  facts.  The  death-like  stillness of all 
around, the  time-worn  paper  that hung in 
shreds around that dreary chamber, the con­
sciousness of a murdered  body  in the room 
below,  all conspired to fill me with awe and 
I  wearied  for  repose,  but 
apprehension. 
could fiud none, 
I examined  the  window 
to ascertain if  it could  afford  me  egress in 
ease of necessity,  but to my dismay I found 
it securely boarded up on the outside, which 
forbade all hopes of escape in  that  quarter.
Suddenly,  the old hotel  seemed  awaken­
ing to life. 
I heard  doors  open  and close, 
steps at some little  distance  and  the sound 
of voices in  animated  conversation. 
I was 
at  a  loss  how  to  account  for  this  rapid 
change in the state of affairs, but I felt that 
it boded me little good.  It seemed as though 
I heard a voice saying,  “ ’Tis you they seek! 
Save yourself before it is too late! ”  I shud- 
dored in every  limb.  Methought I saw the 
murderous gang,  how  they  thirsted for my 
money and  were  planning  the  method of 
my death.  I heard their footsteps approach­
ing nearer  and  more  near.  Already  they 
had reached the door  leading  to  my  apart­
ment.  They were muttering together in low 
whispers. 
I sprang up,  bolted  and  barred 
the door, and,  as I  did  so,  became  aware 
that someone was endeavoring to open it on 
the other side. 
I  scarcely dared  to  breathe 
lest my very  breath  should  betray  me. 
I 
heard by their voices  that  they  were  the 
men I had seen playing  cards, 
I could de­
tect the words “blood,”  “death” and drum­
mer.  My knees quaked, cold  drops started 
on my brow.  Again was the attempt made 
to open the door;  but it seemed  as  though 
the intruders wished to avoid confusion,  for 
I  heard them depart,  or rather  glide,  from 
the  door.  Whether  it  were  that  the men 
had aimed at my life, my; property or wheth­
er they had determined upon another  mode 
of attack, I  resolved to extinguish my light, 
ip order that it might not  betray  me  fropa

S&K&  Mow could % tell  but! th at o n e ^ l

the ruffians might not fancy taking a shot at 
me through the cracks in  the  boarded  win­
dow?

Night is no friend to man,  and  man  has 
an  instinctive  dread  of  darkness,  else 
whence the terror  of  children,  even before 
they have been frightened by tales of goblin 
grim and spectre dire?  No sooner was I  in 
obscurity than all manner of horrors, possi­
ble  and  impossible,  crowded  upon  me. 
I 
flung myself upon my  bed  in  the  hopes of 
sleeping,  but  the  clothes  seemed  tainted 
with the foul odor of dead men’s graves.  If 
I sat up it was worse, for  ever  and  anon a 
rustling  sound,  as  of  some one near me, 
caused me to shudder  afresh.  The form of 
the murdered mau,  with his  livid brow and 
half-glazed eye, seemed  to stalk before me. 
What prospects would I not have  sacrificed 
to be out of  that  horrible  hole!  And now 
the bells tolled the
Whenohureh-yards yawn, and hell itself looks
Each stroke vibrated upon my soul.  In vain 
I called myself a superstitious fool—a faint­
hearted  dastard—it  availed  me  nothing. 
Unable,  at  length,  to  bear  up  longer,  I 
sprang from my  seat, groped my way to the 
door, unbolted and unbarred it and resolved,
albeit it at the risk of  my  life,  to  gain the 
street.

“ Witching- hour of nig-ht 

, 

Merciful heavens!  What  did I behold as 
I opened the door? 
I started and staggered 
back.  Little had I looked  for such a grisly 
sentinel!  By the  dim  flickering  of an old 
lamp,  I  saw before me the body of the mur­
dered landlord, lying on  his  bier,  even as I 
had seen him in the room  below.  But now 
I could perceive how his  shirt,  which  had 
previously been concealed,  was  dyed  with 
the big black  gouts  of  blood. 
I  strove to. 
rally my senses, to persuade myself thatthe- 
whole was the mere  phantasm of  my  over­
heated imagination;  but as I stirred the cof­
fin with my foot,  until the corpse seemed a s . 
though about to move  and  unclose its eyes,
I could no longer doubt the fearful reality of 
the spectacle before me.  Almost paralyzed 
with fear, I staggered back  into  my  room 
and fell backward on the bed.
And now a confused noise proceeded from 
the bier.  Was the dead alive,  for the sound 
that I heard  was  of  one  raising  himself 
with difficulty?  A  low,  suppressed  moan 
thrilled in my ears,  and I  saw before me the 
form  of  the  murdered  man. 
It  strode 
through the door, entered  my  room, 
then 
stalked awhile to and fro,  and disappeared. 
As I again summoned reason to my aid,  the 
spectre,  or the  corpse,  or  the  living dead, 
gave my reason the  lie  by  depositing  its- 
long,  lank, livid length  upon  my  bed  and. 
across my body,  its icy shoulders resting up­
on my  neck  and  nearly  depriving  me  of 
breath.
How I escaped with life, I can not explain 
to the present hour,  Mortal  dread was up­
on me, and I  must  have  remained  a  long 
while in  unconsciousness;  for,  as I heard” 
from beneath my hideous  burden,  the clock 
sound,  instead  of  striking one—the  signa 
for spirits to vanish—it was striking two.
I leave the horrors of my  situation to the 
reader’s  imagination.  The  noisome  smell 
of the charnel-house  in  my  nostrils  and  a 
yet warm  corpse  struggling  for  breath,  as 
though  the  death-rattle  were  upon  him, 
while I was benumbed  with  terror  and the 
hellish  weight  of the burden I bore.  The 
scenes in Dante’s  Hell  fell  far short of an­
guish such as I  was  then  experiencing. 
I 
was too weak or terror-stricken to disengage 
myself from the corpse,  which seemed as if 
expiring a  second  time;  for  I  conjectured 
that, while senceless from loss of blood, the- 
wretched man had been  taken for dead and 
thrust forthwith  into a coffin, and  now lay 
dying in good earnest.  He  seemed  power­
less alike for life or death, and I  was doom­
ed  to  be  the  couch  whereon  the  fearful 
struggle would terminate.
I strove to fancy  that  it was all a dream 
and that  I was  laboring under an attack of 
nightmare, but circumstances and surround­
ing objects were too  strong to admit of any 
such  conclusion;  still,  I  believe  I should 
have finally succeeded in  convincing myself 
that it was all a vision,  had not  an  incident 
more striking than any  that  hitherto  pre­
ceded established,  beyond  a  doubt,  the fact 
of  my  being  broad  awake. 
It  was  day­
break;  not that I could perceive the light of 
heaven,  for the shoulders  of  my  expiring 
friend impeded my view,  but I  inferred  so 
from  the  stir  in  the  street. 
I  heard - the 
footsteps and voices of men just outside the 
room, 
I could not make out  the subject of 
conversation, but I  divined  that  they were 
busy about the coffin.  Now, beyond doubt, 
they were looking for the dead man, and my 
delivery was at hand;  and  so it proved,  al­
though it happened after a fashion for which 
I was but little  prepared.  One  of  the ex­
ploring party smote so lustily upon the form 
of the dead or dying that  he  started up and 
stood erect,  Some of the blows lighted up­
on my hapless person with such  effect as to 
make me yell out  most  vigorously and take 
a position directly in the rear of the defunct. 
This new method  of  restoring  the  dead to 
life proved so efficacious  in  the  present in­
stance that I doubt whether the impassibili­
ty of the dead were  not  preferable  to  the 
acute perceptions of the living. 
I was now 
conscious of the  fact  that  the  room  was 
filled with men.  The timely castigation had 
been adminiatered by an officer appointed to 
superintend the funeral.  The landlord still 
slept the sleep of death to  his  coffin,  stand­
ing in the room next to  mine,  which I had 
mistaken for the hall,  whither  it had been 
conveyed  by  the  drunken  fellows  of  the 
dining room, who had been ordered to carry 
it to the landlord’s own chamber, but instead’ 
had brought  it  there  and confided it to the 
charge of one  of  their  besotted  comrades, 
who had slumbered  at his  post and, awak­
ened probably by my  entrance,  had groped 
bis Way, with all theinstinctof onefar gone 
to liquor, to my bed  and there  slept off the 
Aimes of his potations.
Suffice it to say, 1 sold  no  goods  to that 
tofm and got home as  quickly  as  possible, 
where,  on account of the  fright  received,  I 
.was  laid  up  for  seven  weeks with brain

What do you think of this?  While In conver­
sation  with  Wm. M. Dale,  one of  the largest 
druggists in  Chicago,  we  were  surprised  to 
learn that he had sold over one and a half mil­
lion of TansUl’s  Punch 5c. cigars and that the 
quality gets better ail the time.  The  demand 
continues to increase.  Let us tell you, if you 
want to sell a cigar  that your  customers  will 
be pleased with, the sooner you order Tansill’s 
Punch the better.—Independent Grocer.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. 
Detroit, Oct. 19—As the editor of a  jour­
nal whose policy has been  to  bring  about a 
harmonious  feeling  between  the  different 
markets of the State, I  deplore  the extreme 
position taken by one of  the  Grand Bapids 
dailies in its frequent references to the City 
of  the  Straits.  That  Detroit  may  have 
seemed to be old-fogyish in the  past,  I  am 
pot prepared to deny, but a day’s visit with 
the men noy? at the helm in business affairs 
will convince the most skeptical that a spir­
it of enterprise is now a marked  character­
istic of Detroit  business  men. 
In view of 
this fact, I  deplore the compromising state­
ments  continually  made  by  the paper re­
ferred to, as such a course will unavoidably 
bring about an era of ill-feeling between the 
two cities, which cannot fail to result to the 
disadvantage of both markets.

As a young man, interested in the success 
of young men, I  am pleased to note the tend­
ency  here  toward  shifting the  burdens of 
business  onto  young  men’s 
shoulders. 
While hardly in keeping with Detroit’s rep­
utation  for  conservatism,  it is a fact that 
more young men are managing  large estab­
lishments here than ever before and that the 
ratio is increasing  every  year.  Perhaps to 
this change may be attributed  the  absence 
of  that  public  indifference  which,  it 
claimed, once  existed  here,  but I prefer to 
leave the  affirmation of  this  supposition to 
those more familiar with the subject.

With all due respect to  the  older  men, 

think they will mostly agree with me that it 
is, generally speaking, the young men who set 
the stamp of enterprise on a town.  Fertile 
in new ideas, they are content to allow their 
eiders to put a veto on  half  their  sugges­
tions,  while  they  carry the other half to a 
successful issue.  Full of  vim  as  well  as 
ideas,  confident  of  the  success  of  their 
plans, cheerful in spite of  rebuffs  and  re­
verses and elastic  under  defeat, the young 
men of the country present a distinct  type, 
which is one  of the most characteristic  fea­
tures of American progressiveness.

Buffalo, Oct 20—A city  of  grain  eleva­
tors, iron factories, lumber  and ship yards, 
coupled with unusual transportation  facili 
ties, both by water and  rail—such  are  the 
features  which  commend  Buffalo  in  the 
eyes of the stranger.

New  York,  Oct.  22—The  Englishman 
who comes to this country for the first time, 
takes a trip across the continent on  a light­
ning express train, deriving all his informa­
tion concerning the country from the people 
he  chances  to  meet  and talk with on his 
journey, and then goes home to write a crit­
ical analysis of  American  customs,  meets 
with  merited  derision  at the hands of our 
people.  Lest I   may  be  accused of  being 
equally inconsistent, I shall not attempt any 
general references  to  the  metropolis of the 
country,  after  having  walked  its  streets 
scarcely  more  than  a dozen hours for the 
first time.

One of the most frequent  topics  of  con­
versation among  grocery  jobbers is the un 
warranted advance  in  sugar  made  by  the 
Sugar Trust.  John T. Burgess,  who bears 
the reputation of being one ef the best post­
ed men in the city on  the  grocery  market 
as i irres me that the present  price of granu­
lated is preposterous, considering the ruling 
prices for the raw product, and that there 
no reason—aside from the artificial advance 
sustained by the  refiners—why  granulated 
should be sold above 6 cents from first hands, 
Tea is dull and  featureless,  the  market 
having  apparently  no  strength. 
Japans 
havp been in  small  demand.  Amoys  and 
Formosas  are  fairly  steady,  but  English 
Breakfasts are without particular change 

The  coffee  men  claim  that the present 
condition  of  the  market is a puzzle.  The 
general tendency is downward—the dullness 
In this country has caused an  actual decline 
abroad.

Speaking in a general way, cassia is firm: 
pepper is easier;  rice is dull and  slow  sale: 
Valencia  and  Malaga  raisins  are  lower: 
currants  are  weaker;  citron  is  dull;  old 
Turkish prunes  are dull and lower;  filberts 
v are higher; choice butter is scarce,  but me­

dium grades are plenty and dull;  cheese 
qnotably lower,  both  at  home and abroad: 
canned goods are without change, except to­
matoes, which are higher.

The  Law of Supply  and  Demand. 
‘Gabe Perkins, you stele those chickens, 
did yon not?’’ asked the judge, as he looked 
severely at the dark  prisoner  over his spec­
tacles.

“yes, sah, your Honah;  I donestoledem 

cbickuns, fo’ suah.”

“What excuse have you  to  offer  for the 

crime?” 

demand.”

“Nothin’, sah, but de  law  ob  supply an’ 

“What has the law of supply and demand 
got to do with your stealing your neighbor’s 
chichens?”

“ Well,  you  see,  we  had a party at our 
house de other night,  and  dere was a berry 
great  demand  for roast  chickun;  so, you 
see, dere  was  de  demand  and dere was de 
chickuns in de hen-roost, an’ nobody aroun’» 
so I  done grabbed two  or  three  of  ’em,  an’ 
dat was de supply.”

“ 1 see,” remarked the judge,  as he wiped 
the  tears  from  his  specs.  “Weil,  Gabe, 
there is a demand for a good,  stout  nigger 
to break stone at the jail,  so I’ll supply you 
for about thirty days.”  And Gabe went out 
sadly,  declaring  that  he “couldn’t see no 
sense in dat law,  nohow.”

Ah  EX*»«  Tea-Taster.

Referring to the wonderful skill exhibited 
In the line of tea-testing by  Henry  J. Saw* 
dy, formerly of Hudson, the Chicago  Neves 
remarks:

A great  deal  has  been written about the 
ruinous physical effects  of  mis curious and 
well-paid trade—if an income'ranging from 
810,000 to 825,000 a year  may  properly be 
called  well-paid—but  Mr.  Sawdy  shows 
none.  The  Eastern  tea-tasters, as a rule, 
are as abstemious as monks  in  their  diet, 
avoiding highly-flavored food  and  tobacco, 
but Mr. Sawdy is an epicure  and  gives fre­
quent  dinners  to  his  friends.  He  knows 
every variety of leaf grown in the tea coun­
tries,  and identifies each  after  one  sip  of 
their inf usion.  He is in  frequent  demand 
by the importers of New York  and Califor­
nia;  and,  it is said,  whether a  cargo  worth 
anywhere  around  8200,000  or a single box 
of tea depends upon it, his judgment is  un­
questioned.  Of  course,  such a fineness of 
taste is natural.

“What a horrible odor of earburetted hy­
drogen!” exclaimed ah  Ann  Arbor student. 
“Mum?” said  the  janitor  with  a  puzzled 
countenance.  “The  smell  of  earburetted 
hydrogen,” she explained.  “That’s no kind 
of gm,  mum,” replied the  janitor;  “that’s 
garse.  The pipe is leaky, mum.”

T h e,  Merge  their  Organization  in to a B.

-  8
A t the regular meeting of the Retail Gro­
cer’s Association, held  <to  October  .18,  an 
application for membership  from L  Town­
send, corner Wall  and  South  Ionia streets, 
was received and  the  applicant  declared a 
member of the Association, 
f  Chairman Coye, of theCommittee on Me­
morial to the Couneil,  to whom was report 
ed the  question  of  petitioning  for  the ap­
pointment of an  officer to  prevent  the sale 
of  decayed  vegetables,  adulterated  spices, 
etc., reported tiiat there  was  no  ordinance 
providing  for* the  appointment  of such an 
officer.

Chairman  Stowe,  of  the  Committee  on 
Revision of Constitution, presented the fol­
lowing report:
7  Your Committee on Revision of the Con­
stitution, appointed on April 5, and excused 
from duty  April  19  until  such  time  as we 
could report-* draft  thoroughly  in  accord 
with thè ideas of  the  State  body, herewith 
present the  form  of local  constitution and 
byelaws  recommended  to  local associations 
by the Michigan Business Men’s Association 
at  its  recent  annual  convention,  held  at! 
Flint, with such  changes  asvseem to be ne­
cessary  to  meet  locai  requirements.  AK 
though doubtful whether such recommenda­
tion comes  properly  within  our province, 
your Committee would  suggest  the  desira­
bility of enlarging the scope  of our organiz­
ation so as  to  include  reputable  business 
men  in  any  line,  taking  on a public im­
provement feature, and  changing the name 
to that'of the Grand Rapids Business  Men’s 
Association.

Committe.

The report was accepted, when H. A. Hy- 
dom  moved  that  the  report  be  adopted. 
After a considerable  discussion  of  the sub­
ject, B;  F. Emery moved that  the report be 
laid on the table for  one  week,  which was 
subsequently withdrawn.  The original mo­
tion was then adopted.

President Coye congratulated the Associa­
tion on the change it had  made  and stated 
that he expected to see the new Association 
prove even more of a  success  than  the old 
organization.

H. A.  Hydorn suggested  that  the officers 
whose terms expire at the next meeting con­
tinue to hold office until the annual meeting 
in January.

The Secretary read a communication from 
the State Association  relative  to  applying 
for a charter and ratifying the  State consti­
tution.  On  motion  of  Geo.  Dunaven, the 
State constitution  was  ratified and the Ex­
ecutive  Committe  was  instructed to apply 
for re-affiliation and  incorporation  without 
delay.

B. F. Emery read a  paper on the  subject 

of “The Groceryman at  Sea,” as follows: 
Mr. President and Gentlemen:

Agreeable to promise,  I  have  noted down 
a few facts, figures  and  fancies  regarding 
my experience as a dealer ona naval vessel.
To  commence  with,  to use an old sailor 
phrase,  1  will  spin you a cuffer.  From a 
.printing office to the deck of  a man-of-war, 
from  good  broiled  beefsteak  and  feather 
beds  to  salt-horse,  plum duff, lob sconce, 
hot water and spoons in  lieu  of  coffee and 
tea, I soon found to a boy with a good appe­
tite a horse of another color.
The town  clock  of  a  man-of-war is the 
ship’s  bell,  which  strikes  every half hour 
from the time the captain’s pennant is brok­
en at the mast-head and the  ship  goes into 
commission and the  same  is  hauled  down 
again and  the  ship  dismantled,  and  the 
crew is paid off.
Everything goes like machine work—eat­
ing and even sleeping is done with the same 
routine during the cruise.
Two important persons play  a  conspicu­
ous part in the daily  programme—the  pay­
master, or general dealer, and his assistant, 
known as Jack-of-the-Dust.  The  paymas­
ter has full charge  of  all  the  ship’s  stores 
and money—Jack dishes out  the goods and 
spends his  money  with  equal energy.  No 
competition,  no dead-beats,  no delivering of 
goods,  no running  around  after orders,  but 
your custo ners  living  with  you and all ea­
ger to do business.
The  ship’s  stores  are  divided into two 
classes—the provisions Uncle Sam furnishes 
and the clothing, cloth,  flannel  and general 
wearing apparel.  Tobacco, tin  pails, cups, 
spoons and blankets the crew buy.
The standard dollar is a big black plug of 
tobacco, and all trades and  dickers  among 
the ship’s company are figured on that basis.
The ship’s company are  divided  into two 
divisions—starboard and  port watch, and it 
is four hours’ labor on and  four  off, except 
when it is all hands on  deck.  Every  man 
and boy has his number and station and be­
longs to a certain part of the ship (the same 
as we all live on certain streets in this city), 
the eating  department  being  divided  into 
messes of about twenty men to a mess, with 
one man at the head as cook, who, for draw­
ing the provisions and being  both  landlady 
and Bridget,  receives  his  ration in money 
(amounting to $7.50 per month)  in addition 
to  his  regular  pay.  The  provisions  are 
served out three times a  week,  scales being 
sometimes used,  but more  often  pork  and 
salt-horse are weighed out with a pork hook. 
The  provisions  are of a hard and solid na­
ture, especially the hard-tack and salt-horse, 
,  but the main varieties are  pork  and  beef, 
dried  apples,  molasses,  rice, flour, canned 
tomatoes, pickles mid  a  four-pound  can  of 
beef called bouUton, which is the butt of the 
whole  list;  also  butter,  Which  generally 
. dates  away  back  and  is strong enough to 
take care of itself.
Once a month, the crew draw their cloth­
ing, tobacco, etc., all  of  which  have  one 
price during the cruise.  Every three months 
all hands sign accounts with tire paymaster,
;  as they all bave an open  account, the  crew 
. not receiving their pay until they  are  paid 
off and discharged. 
In lieu  of grog,  every 
man and boy draws out  about  five  dollars 
:  every three months,  instead of the old way 
of aU hands being piped  up  to  splice  the 
TO*in  brace,  or,  in plain  language, lake a 
drink with Uncle Sam every day.
The Stowing away and care  of the provi­
sio n s and supplies, especially where the ship 
is loaded for a  long cruise, is  no  small job. 
All barrels of  meats  are  whitewashed  and 
put in the lower hold;  the  hard-tack  must 
have especial care,  to  prevent  tire  peavrl 
from working in the break, and, as rato had 
oftrtirmftfthfta  always  abound,  the  clothing 
must all be  thom^fely  campbored;  boots 
tòd-sboes are ali sewed, nò pegsor urite be-

There is n o  talking baek to  a n  officer,  and a 
w ordof eommand te a s quickly executed as 
given.  T he  second  is  “ cleanliness.”  No 
tody’s parlor w ill shine any brigbter. andno 
body‘of  men can be found  any  cleaner or 
neater than a m an-of-war or  its ship’s com­
pany  after  they  have been  to   sea’  throe 
months.
T he w ater is carried in large iron tanks in 
the hold.  AU  steam ers  condense  the salt 
w ater into fresh  fo r  drinking  and cooking 
purposes.  A  pail  of  fresh  w ater  at  seats 
considered by an  old salt in  about the same 
light as a waterm elon is to a  colored man— 
a genuine picnic.  The  soap  is  made  ex­
pressly for salt w ater use and  iu five-pound 
bars as w hite as  the  driven  snow.  Every 
man is bis  own  tailor  and,  generally, his 
own barber. 
Now, gentlemen, in  conclusion,  if I have 
not already  completely  tired yon out with 
my sailor yam, I  will simply say,  to  return 
home from a  long  foreign  cruise,,  to  the 
United States,  whose  flag—the  stars  and 
stripes—is respected on aU waters and lands, 
and once again to mingle  with  my own kin 
was my lot in 1867.  When I was  paid off, 
after serving three and a half  years  in the 
United States Navy,  I took up the battle for 
for bread and butter  as  a  Groceryman  on 
Land.

E. A.' Stowe presented the following: 
Resolved, That this Association put itself 
on  record  as  unqualifiedly in favor of the 
establishment of a permanent  exposition as 
advocated by L  C.  Levi  and  other  public 
spirited gentlemen and that we individually 
extend the undertaking  aU  the  encourage­
ment and support we can command.

On motion of H. A.  Hydorn,  the  résolu 

.

tion was adopted.  *

The meeting then adjourned.

AMBOY  CHEESE-

• cU ^ieed'lr stuffed, so  that future genera- 
tionscould see what fools God’s green earth 
had fostered, and that  when  I   said  1,700 
pounds made a  ton, /I gave, unconscious evi­
dence of having been  in  the  employ of a  
coal merchant and was,' therefore, biased in 
my judgment.  My answer, he said, showed 
that I  possessed a  gigantic  intellect and it 
would be a shame to take it off to sea where 
it might get moldy, although, no doubt,  the 
salt air would do me a power of good,

I'accepted my old position bn the grocery 
wagon.  When  I  want to go to sea now, I 
roll and toss on the crest-covered waves and 
billowy billows which lash  themselves into 
a fury in the zinc-lined  bath  tub. 
It  only 
costs a quarter, with the  two towels and no 
seasickness. 

Be n  H ea d.

Muzzy’s Com Starch is prepared expressly 
for food,  is made of only the best white com 
and ts guaranteed absolutely pure.

The popularity of  Muzzy’s  Com and Sun 
Gloss Starch  is  proven  by  the  large  sale, 
aggregating  many  million  of  pounds  each 
year.

The State  Assayer of Massachusetts says 
Muzzy’s Com  Starch  for table  use,  is  per­
fectly pure, is jvell  prepared,  and  of  excel­
lent quality.  •

Muzzy*s Starch, both for laundry and table 
use,  is  the . very best  offered  to  the  con­
sumer.  All  wholesale  and  retail  grocers

Shattered,

■Written Especially for The Tradesman.
M  But few people in  ibis  world  have  any 
idea how close I once  come  to being an ad­
miral: in the United States  Navy. 
I  shud­
der now as I think of it.  X was at the time 
servingmy country—and  employer who run 
a  grocery store in a hard town  small  by, in 
1he capacity of captain  and  special pilot of 
a small but active grocery wagon.

But i  was not satisfied With my  position. 
I panted for  a more  stirring  existence. 
I 
wanted to phing into war and satiate a long 
and enthusiastic hankering for gore. 
'There 
was not a boy in the town who could  sit as 
far out on the end of the seat  on the wagon 
as I  could—and yet I was not  happy.  The 
country wanted a  few admirals, and! want­
ed to be one of  them. 
I   wanted  to  walk 
the decks of our  famous  American men of 
war with my sword  drawn  up to my breast 
—and my salary  up to date—and  order the 
crew  to  never,  under  no  circumstances, 
throw up the ship or  words  to  that effect. 
Then I  would write to  the  Secretary of the 
’Navy and tell him  how  we  had  met them 
sand we were theirs.

That does not sound  just  like the lines I 
•want  to  quote,  but it’s near  enough to al­
low the reader to catch on.

A vacancy existed at  Anapolis,  and  the 
'congressman from our district  called  for  a 
competitive examination  to  fill  the  place. 
I   responded.  About  half  a  dozen  old 
back  numbers 
sat  on  the  board  and 
pumped us applicants until I  hadn’t a single 
idea that I  could lay  hold  of  without hust­

question  and  when  I  answered it I  would 
ask then  a couple,  but  they  paid no atten­
tion to me.

They asked  me  about  everything  they 
scould conveniently think of, beginning with 
¿¡taking my  name, when  I  was  born,  what 
for, if I  was ever sea-sick and how much of 
m y internal  system  did  I part with while 
looking over the side of the  ship,  and  who 
mutilated  the  handsome  proportions  of 
William E. Patterson, Esq.

When I had sent a  gleam  of  intelligence 
on all  of  these  essential  points  into their 
brains, I was sent  to  the  doctor,  who had 
considerable merriment at my expense.

“Disrobe,” said he.
“Doc,” said L as  a  heated  bobtail flush 
made a round trip over my classic  features, 
•“lam  only a boy,  yet  I   will  preserve  my

I have just  fed

enough  choice  genus  of  wisdom  to  last 
them till the robins nest  again, but before 1 
will stand in all  my  naked  beauty  before 
you I  will  scorn  the  position  I  so  much 
hanker after. 
I will leave  the Navy to  get 
along the best it can.”

He  explained  that  it  was  to prove my 
physical qualification  that  he  asked me  to 
submit to the examination, and  1  began to 
disrobe. 
In a few fleeting moments I stood 
an all my glowing beauty before him.

‘‘Young man,” said he, “I don’t remember 
of ever  having  looked  upon  such a quaint, 
picturesque-looking  piece of architecture as 
you are, nor have I  ever seen such wild and 
irregular chuncks cut in  the  atmosphere as j 
are now executed  by  your  anatomy.  You 
are so constructed that you  can  cover more 
of the adjacent neighborhood  than any per­
son I  ever saw  of  your  size. 
I  think  you 
could spend a very happy day if, peradven- 
ture, yon could have  a  family  reunion  of 
your feet  But, no, that is  hardly  possible 
as no arrangement  could be made in regard

you,  I  held  firmly  to  the  orthodox belief 
that  man was made  in  the  image  of  his 
Creator—I  think differently now.  To what 
use do you intend to  put that wild waste of 
shoulder blades and  where  under  the blue 
vaulted  dome did  you  find  those  misfit 
.  ears which extend so  far out  into  the cruel 
world and how in  the  name  of  heaven  do 
g  you  keep  what  brains  you  have  in your 
head when you gap or laugh?  I  never saw 
a   better exhibition  of the internal workings 
of the human system  then  when  the top of 
your head flew  back  a  minute  ago and I 
Jmew you were enjoying a smile.  With un­
restricted freedom do  your  bones meander, 
In controversy  to  all  physiological  laws,

demeanor  of your  left  knee  strikes  me 
most painfully.  The  uniform  that  would 
fit you would also fit  an  adult  flash of zig- 
zag lightening.  You  are  truly  a  unique 
: !  hunk of  human  nature—all  that you  lack

jtn snob a variety olpyrays,  that  the 
cautioustrader aftehfinds himself “circum­
vented.”  Recemfly, however, I have noticed 
that the raids of the elan  are  less frequent 
and lees profitable, and if every membra:  of 
the  various  business  men’s  associations 
would do his duty faithfully  it  is very evi­
dent that their  mission of legal plundering 
would be practically ended.

The other day a young  fellow walked in 
to  «lone’s store and  got a pretty large com 
pound  of various drugs mixed  together in a 
bottle.  Beaching for the package he said: 

“You'll have to put it down a  few  days, 

Mr. Jones!”

“Lemme see!” said  the  old  man,  reflec­

tively, “  ’Aint your name Gowger?”

“Yes!”
“An’ you’s  shet  up  a  year  or  two  fur 

" borrowin’ a cow?”

“Yes,  but—
“An’  arterwards  about  twice  as  much 
longer fur a mistake in the title of a hoss?” 

“Yes, but I’ve reformed!”
“Chaplin  kind o’  made you see the error 

of your ways, I s’pose?”

“Yes!”
“Say young feller, did  you  ever  happen 
to read ’bout the niggers’ reformin’ down in 
Texas?  No!  Well  you  see  they  were 
havin’ a pow’rful revival  where this nigger 
lived, an’ one  night  the  preacher  tackled 
the subjec’ of chicken  stealin’,  an’  shot  so j 
much fire an’ brimstone at the  practie’,  that 
this partic’lar nigger got terribly scared, an 
he riz up in meetin’  an’  said  that  if  thè 
Lord would forgiv’ ’im fur the chickens he’d 
took, he’d solem’Iy  promis’  to  confine  his- 
self exclusively  to sheep in the futuri.”

“An’ now, Gowger, you put me in min’ of 
that darkey!” continued Jones, regarding the 
young man with manifest  disgust,  “only  1 
b’lieve it’s  a  cussed  sight  more  like  re­
formin' to change from  chickens  to  sheep, 
than ’tis to quit stealin’  cows an’ hosses an’ 
go to dead heatin’!  The hoss thief  has  got 
to have suthin’ like  a  little  sand,  but the 
beat’s the  sneakin’est  kind  of  a  sneakin’ 
coward!”

And in some  respects  I  don’t know  but 

the old man was nearly correct.

B Y   A  OOTOffTBY  M ERCH A N T.

Written Especially fo r The Tradesman.

While I was standing in my store  door  a 
few moments  ago  Slosser  passed  by,  and 
although I nodded,  and  manifested  a  de­
sire to recognize him I couldn’t  discover by 
any motion of Slosser that he acknowledged 
my existence.

Slosser is an agriculturalist who owns one 
hundred and twenty  acres of fine land; one- 
third of which is recorded in his son’s name, 
one-third in his  wife’s  and  the  balance in 
his own.

I  don’t think that  I’m  unduly  sensitive, 
but as Slosser has been “cutting” me stead­
ily and  persistently  for  the  past  twelve 
mouths the thing is  becoming  monotonous 
I know what impels  him to ignore me, and 
from long acquaintance  with  gentlemen 
his character and habits. 
I  can readily un 
derstandhis  reasons,  and  appreciate  the 
disgust and contempt  which  an  accidental 
view of  me  occasions  him.  But  what 
blame Slosser for is that  he  won’t give me 
an opportunity to abjectly apologize to him 
except  in  some  public  and  conspicuous 
place.  No man of the remotest  sensibility 
likes to grovel in the dust  before  a  fellow 
man, no  matter how  deeply  he  may  have 
wronged him,  when there are dozens of his 
neighbors in light to  witness  his  degreda 
tion, and when Slosser coldly  and  deliber 
ately gives me  to  understand  that my hu 
miliation  must  be  a matter of public com 
ment I  submit that  he is  unreasonably vin 
dictive.
* 

* 

* 

* 

*

Will T h e T radesman  kindly  allow me 
te give  my  version  of  the  difficulty  that 
exists between Slosser  and  myself?  I am 
aware that, at first glance,  it  may appear to 
be a trivial and unimportant matter, but as 
combination of trivial and unimportant mat 
ters has  an  unmistakable  effect  in  subdu 
ing and  obstructing  the  sunshine  of  life.
I may,  possibly, by  “rising  to  a  personal 
explanation”  be  instrumental  in  averting 
some little  spells  of  cloudy  weather  for 
others.

Nearly all men have their indiosyneracies 
and peculiarities and Slosser’s peculiarity is 
an instinctive  dislike  for  people  whom  he 
owes.  Now I am not going to condemn him 
for this trait, or assert  that it is a remarka 
bly singular and noteworthy one,  for it may 
be that nature and  habit  have  rendered  it 
almost impossible for  him  to  conceal  his 
feelings, and I know  that  he  is  only  one 
amidst a multitude that  have  a  chronic af 
fection of the same kind.  As I said  before 
it’s only  Slosser’s  stubborn  vindictiveness 
that I take exceptions to.

If  Slosser  had  approached  me  in  s 
stiaightrforward and business-like  manner 
and demanded credit, I  should have politely 
but firmly refused him; but he didn’t, and 
claimed that the fact of  our  estrangment is 
due to him as well as myself. 
I knew him 
by  reputation,  to be  one  of  that  class  of 
gentlemen who  take  pride  m  remarking 
“Well,  what are you going to do  about it?” 
“I’m execution proof!”  “If  you  get it be­
fore I do,  let me  know!”  and  making  ex­
pressions of a  similar  nature,  and,  under 
ordinary circumstances, I should have so con 
ducted myself that Slosser and I would have 
continued on amicable  terms,  but . the cir­
cumstanced,  while  in  one  sense  they were 
too ordinary,  were such  that  I  openly and 
advisedly accuse  Slosser  of  deluding  and 
entrapping me into tke gulf  that  separates 
us.

But I suspect  that  I   am  becoming tire­
some,  and almost approaching  the  point of 
Ill-temper. 
I don’t want  to  do  either;  I 
merely want to show, calmly, dispassionate­
ly, and as a matter  of  warning  to  others, 
v how I came to give Slosser a  casus belli.

About fifteen months  ago,  Slosser  who 
had, metaphorically  speaking, just finished 
cutting a new notch on his stick of victims, 
happened  to  cast  his  eye  on  me,  and 
•“ marked me for his own.”  He  at once  be­
come one of my  best cash  customers.  He 
praised my commodities and approved of the 
¡appearance of my store.  He  selected some 
¿specialities in  my  line  and  recommended 
them continuously  to  his  neighbors.  He 
put  me.  on  track  of  a couple of  d.  b.’s, 
but, as  I  now  believe,  privately  warned 
them of the impending peril.  He, in short, 
used every scheme  and  device  to  lay  me 
under obligations to him.

And  then  Slosser  gradually,  and  cau­
tiously  and  skillfully, 
like  a  practiced 
angler,  after  a  fish  that  has  been  often 
scratched by the hook,  began the exhibition 
of bis art.  He obtained  small  credits  and 
payed promptly.  He  extended  his  opera­
tions but kept his  record  untarnished,  and 
than, after  he had  dissipated  my  distrust 
and made me  believe  him  a  maligned and 
misunderstood Individual,  he  “struck’’ me 
for far. more than all the  profits  that  had 
accrued from Mb trade.

.  -A*  several  cases  of  lead  poisoning by 
«RMHNbfrnit have been reported at different 
^pbe^lfhave examined a  tew specimens for 
and tin, and before giving the results of 
' •the examination would  make mention of a 
lew  of the ways and  means by which  lead 
enters the system, the symptoms and treat­
ment of poisoning by the same.
The introduction of lead  into  the system 
may take place through the skin, the  stom­
ach, the lungs, and the mucous  membranes 
in other parts;  through  the skin, as in the 
iqppitea&ion of carbonate of lead ointment to 
bains, where  a  large  surface  is  involved; 
through the lungs,  as  certain  occupations 
involve the inhalation;  persons employed in 
the  manufacture  of lead  paints,  and also 
those  employed  in  paper-staining,  glazing 
muds, grinding of  colors,  painting,  plumb­
ing shot-making.  Lead  poisoning  has  re­
peatedly occurred from sleeping  in  newly- 
painted  rooms.  Lead  may  be  introduced 
through the stomach in  various  articles of 
food and drink.  The  colic  of  Poiton was 
due to wine, and that of Devonshire to cider 
adulterated  with  lead  to give it sweetness. 
In  a  garrison  of  United  States  soldiers, at 
Fort Delaware, numerous cases of lead pois­
oning occurred, which were found to be ow­
ing to the use of the  water collected in cis­
terns from a large  painted  roof.  Fountain 
soda-water often contains lead in considera­
ble quantities.  An epidemic colic  in  New 
Orleans  was  traced  to  lead  contained  in 
soda-water.
Professor Doremos, some years ago, dem­
onstrated the presence  of lead in considera­
ble quantity in soda-water  drawn  from the 
fountains in New York city.  Water distrib- 
ed through lead pipes is not infrequently the 
"cause of its  introduction  into  the  system. 
Lead is used sometimes to  color confection­
ery, condiments, and other articles, in suffi­
cient quantity to produce  poisonous effects.
During the spring of 1866, in Orange Coun­
ty, N. Y., 313 cases  of  lead  poisoning oc­
curred.  After considerable research, it was 
ascertained that lead was contained  in  the 
flour and meal used in that part of the coun­
try.  The mill stones were old and constant­
ly needing repair;  the  large' cavities  fre­
quently forming were  filled  up  with com­
mon lead instead of  being  filled  with  ce­
ment;  the attrition of the grinding detached 
minute particles  of  lead,  and these minute 
minute  particles  becoming  mixed with the 
flour and meal  were  transformed  into  the 
carbonate  by  the  process  of  fermentation 
and baking.  Persons have  become poison­
ed by eating of  canned  fruits,  supposed to 
be due to lead,  with which  cheaper  grades 
of tin are sometimes contaminated.  Several 
years ago, a  number  of  persons  in  Ohio 
were affected with a disease which for some 
time was regarded as a novel epidemic, and 
was called dry cholera.  This  disease  pre­
sented the diagnostic character of lead colic 
and it was traced to  the  common  use of a 
cheap kind of earthenware, into the glazing 
of which lead entered.  Oases have been re­
ported of lead-poisoning  by  means  of  col- 
Jyria and vaginal injections.
Lead, by whatever  source  it  enters  the 
system, produces, if in  sufficient  quantity,' 
symptoms and signs by  which  the  physi­
cian is enabled to make a  correct diagnosis. 
•A few of the symptoms are:  Pallor  due to 
aiMBmia, icterode hue of the skin, loss of ap­
petite,  constipation,  metallic  taste  in the 
mouth, a peculiar fetor of  the  breath,  mus- 
eular debility, pain in  limbs,  pain in abdo­
men  which  is  usually  in the region of the 
umbilicus.  The  pain  is  sometimes  acute 
and  lancinating,  while  at other times it is 
dull or  aching.  The  abdomen  is  usually 
more  or  less  tympanitic,  but may be de­
pressed; and is often resisting  to  pressure. 
Pressure may be well  borne if made gradu­
ally and over considerable space,  and  often 
affords relief, while  pressure with the ends 
of the fingers, or percussion of the abdomen 
is not well  borne.
More  or  less,  nausea, 
sometimes vomiting,  scanty urine, and mic­
turition sometimes difficult and painful.  A 
marked characteristic is the bluish discolor­
ation of gams at  their  junction  with  the 
teeth.  The discoloration is attributed to the 
formation of lead  sulphide,  hydrogen  sul­
phide being evolved from the decomposition 
of food beneath the margin of the gums and 
between the teeth.
The treatment of lead poisoning embraces 
palliative and curative measures.  Anodynes 
given by mouth and rectum, conjoined with 
soothing  applications  to  the  abdomen,  or 
given by mouth;  warm baths  are  useful as 
a palliative measure;  opium  in  some form, 
tiie dose and  its  repetition  to be  regulated 
by the persistence and intensity of the pain; 
free purgation, saline, or other cathartics to
be  determined  by condition  of  stomach. 
A him has been administered with good suc­
cess;  one to two drams is administered dur­
ing the day in a ptisan, to  which  forty  or 
fifty drops of  laudanum  are  added.  The 
remedy now regarded as possessing the most 
Assum­
efficacy is the iodide of potassium.
ing that the  local  manifestations  of  lead 
poisoning are due to  the  presence of an in­
soluble compound of lead  in  the  tissues of 
the affected parts, it is  claimed  for the  io­
dide of potassium the power of effecting the 
liberation of the lead from  the  tissue  and 
its elimination from the system.  The iodide 
is supposed to combine with  the lead in the 
‘tissue, forming the soluble iodide  of  lead, 
which is eliminated through  the urine. 
In 
the treatment of lead poisoning by iodide of 
potassium it is recommended to begin  with 
moderate doses, .gradually increased.  Mel- 
sens recommends^ grains three times a day 
a t first, the quantity increased to adram per 
diem if the remedy  occasions  no  inconven­
ience.
The  experiments  which  I   have  made 
would tend to  prove that  public opinion in 
regard to the liability of  lead  poisoning by 
the Use of canned .goods  is  an  error.  Al­
though tin was found to  be  present,  it was 
in such minnte quantity that it could not be 
considered injurious.

PER.FUME

From the Atlantic to the  Pacific, through­

out the entire country.

One of  the  most  important provisions of 
the new  liquor  law,  in  its  bearings  on  the 
drug  trade,  is  that  clause  which  prohibits 
druggists selling liquor to minors, except on 
the written order of the parent or guardian.
By being supplied with proper blanks, this 
provision is rendered  as  little obnoxious as 
possible.

Highly recommended by Mrs. Grover Cleve­
land, Lillie Langtry, Emma Abbott, Rhea, and 
a host of eminent ladies and gentlemen whose 
taste and judgment are reliable.
Testimonials of druggists  from  alt  parts of 
the U. S. ascribe it the FAVORITE and LEAD­
ING odor with the masses.

The  Drug  Market.

Quinine tends steadily downward.  There 
is little demand and large stocks.  Opium is 
doll and weak.  Morphia  is  steady.  Bal­
sam  copaiba  has  advanced and is tending 
higher.  Cubeb  berries  are  very  firm, and 
likely to be higher soon.  Calomel, corrosive 
sublimate and red precipitate  have  all  ad­
vanced 3c. per pound. 
Insect  powder  has 
again  advanced  and  very high prices will 
rule  next  season.  Cocoa  butter  has  ad­
vanced.  Oil sassafras has declined.

The  report  of  the  proceedings  of  the 
Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association, 
just issued,  fills 300 pages.

A customer entered a drug  store  in  this 
city a few days ago and inquired for “porous 
plasters with holes in them.”

READY FOR USE DRY.

NO MIXING REQUIRED.

It sticks to the vines and Finishes the whole 
crop' of Potato Bugs with one application; also 
kills any Curculio, and the Cotton and Tobacco 
Worms.
This  is  the only safe way  to  use  a  Strong 
Poison ; none of the Poison is in a clear state, 
but thoroughly combined  by  patent  process 
and machinery, with material to help the very 
fine powder to stick to  the  vines  and  entice 
the bugs to eat it, and it is also a fertilizer.
ONE POUND will go as far as TEN POUNDS 
of plaster and Pans  Green  as  mixed  by the 
farmers..  It is therefore  cheaper,  and  saves 
the trouble and danger  of  mixing  and  using 
the  green,  which»  needless to say, is danger­
ous to handle.
Bug Finish was used the past season on the 
State Agricultural College  Farm  at  Lansing, 
Michigan,  and,  in  answer  to  inquiries,  the 
managers Write:  “The Bug finish  gave  good 
satisfaction on garden and farm .’1  Many  un- 
solicitated letters have  been  received  prais­
ing Bug Finish.
Barlow A Star, hardware dealers at  Cpld wa­
ter. Mich., write as  follows under date oj May 
14:  “ We sold 3.100 pounds of “BugFinish” last 
year.  It is rightly named  “Bug  Finish,” as it 
finishes the entire crop of bugs with oneappli- 
c&tiod.  We shall not to satisfied unless wo sell 
three  tons  this  year,  .as  there,is  already  a 
Strong demand fo r it.  .Please send us ten bar- 
rels(3,000 pounds) at once.”  i 
Guaranteed as represented.  Cheaper than 
ly other Mlxtureused for the purpose.  :

A nd then for a time, perhaps for a day

Would I  lay it aside, and then give away 
i  To the filthy weed’s magical power.
Though it causes f'iifkraany times family jars 
;  And rouses the ire of my wife,
To suck the  sweet vapor of fragrant cigars, 

Restores all the sunshine of life.

But that’s all the better for me.

Bor if swine loved tobacco as well as a man. 
They’d sharpen their noses anew 

And root the dear luxury out of the land, 

Then what in the world would I do?

So I’ll thank  the  kind  fates  and  nature’s

“See that little man over there?”
‘‘Which one?”
“ That little whiter-haired  man in the seat 

next the open  window.”
“ Well, what of him?”
“ Well, sir,  six  years ago  that man’s hair 
was black as an  Indian’s, when he went on
the  road  for  --------Bros.,  of  Oshkosh—
clothing, you know.  He had  at  that  time 
about  ten  thousand  dollars  of  his  own. 
The firm asked  him  to  travel  on  commis­
sion, and  guarantee  all  accounts  he  sold. 
Did he do  it?  That’s  what  made his  hair 
‘ gray.  He is a poor man now.” *

“ I  hear Dash Blank  is  going back on the 

road.”

“ That so?  Why, I   thought  he’d quit for 
good and gone into the furniture business!” 
“ Well, he had, but it’s too quiet a life for 
him, and he’s going  back  to  the  old  love, 
with  its  late  trains  and  hard  drives,  its 
poor hotels  and  worries. 
I  fancy  an  old 
traveling man is  just like  those war horses 
we read about.  At  the  sound  of  a  drum 
they prick  up  their  ears  and  prance.  So 
with us.  Even  after we  have retired from 
the road, the rattle of a ’bus  on  the  street, 
th e  whistle  of  an engine or  the sight of a 
gripsack start a sympathetic quiver in every 
muscle.  We are creatures of habit.

He had on the latest style of  clothes,  but 
he  was  young,  so  very,  very  young  and 
fresh.  He  traveled for  a very large house, 
o f course,  and he sold  more  goods in a day 
than most men  did  in  two  weeks—in  his 
mind.  The  older  man  with  him had met 
him in the .depot and  they had struck  up a 
speaking  acquaintance.  The  train  came, 
"they  got  aboard, our  young  friend  threw 
back a seat, with  that  easy grace that only 
an old  man  on  the  raod  doesn’t  assume. 
They seated themselves  and  Johnny Fresh 
said:

“ Let’s see, where did  you say  you  were 

going?”

“ To Chicago.”
“Me too, Pete.  Do  you  carry mileage?”
“ No I have a—”
“ Eats—is that so?  Now,  don’t  you  ever 
buy a ticket on this  road  again. 
I ’ll  give 
you a quiet tip—the  fare  from here to Chi­
cago is six dollars but  I  hand the Con. two 
dollars and that fixes  me.  Where'  did you 
buy your ticket?”

“I  have no ticket, sir. 

I 
am the general superintendent of the road.”

I  have a pass.

Always sell your goods  on their merits— 

never on .the demerits of other goods.

No wise traveler will rub his polities into 
the face of  his  trade.  You  are  not on the 
road for that purpose.

Always be so well posted in the  line you 
handle as to be able to show your trade that 
you understand  your  business. 
It  is  bad 
Jtolicy to  let  your  customers  know  more 
about your goods than you do.

There  are  certain  seasons  of  the  year 
when only the new men  and  old  liars  sell
