‘ ‘Sam, ” remarked ray employer to me one 
evening, shortly after tee curtains had heed 
drawn upon the business of the  day  and  I 
had extracted a fragrant weed  from  the ci­
gar ease  and  was  in the act of lighting it, 
preparatory  to  my  usual nightly rest of a 
few moments,  ere going home for the night, 
“ Sam,  there’s some very  crooked» work go­
ing on in this town.
Biggs told me, this af­
ternoon,  that be had taken no  less than ten 
dollars in bogus money—-from a dollar down 
to a nickel, in specie—during the last week* 
and he swears it is made  right  under  our 
noses.”

“ Well,” said I, as I got  a  fresh  grip on 
tee counter with my feet,  “I had  no  suspi­
cion there was any of  tee  ‘queer’  floating 
around loose in this little  one-horse  town. 
I wonder if I’ve got  stuck on  any?”  And, 
as I spoke,  I went to the cash drawer,  from 
which the day’s receipts had  not  yet  been 
removed,  and began to examine its contents, 
hardly expecting to find what I  sought.

country traversed  by  this  great  line  from St. Paul,

“I’m lucky,  at any rate,” I  continued,  as 
I finished my  examination.  “Every  piece 
in the till  is  as  good  as  wheat,  and I’ll 
watch closer,  hereafter.”

“Don’t you be so sure,  Sam,”  said  Mr. 
Elroy, with a quizzical smile  on  his  face. 
“If I’m not awfully  mistaken, you’ve got a 
counterfeit  silver  dollar and two fifty cent 
pieces in teat  drawer. 
I  was  examining 
the ehange before  supper,  and  they  were 
there at that time;  but they  are  such  eon-

ence.  Here, Sam,  I’ll show  you,” and Mr* 
Elroy went to tee drawer,  took  out a silver 
dollar and two half dollars,  after  some ex­
amination, and held teem out  to me.  Sure 
enough, they were had;  but such  close imi­
tations of the genuine teat,  had  Mr.  Elroy 
not pointed out to me the  defects, I should 
have taken them to be perfectly  good under

sufficient start in life to warrant  taking up­
on my shoulders the responsibility of a fam­
ily.  But how could I  hope to  win  it, 
tied 
up,  as I was,  in  the  store  all  day?  The 
more I thought it over,  tee  less  hopeful I 
became of getting the reward;  but  I  deter­
mined to watch for the  slightest  clue  and 
to  say nothing of my resolve.

Two or three days passed  with  no event 
of any import,  and,  although  I   had  kept 
dose watch of the money  received, no more 
of the “queer” was offered to me.

One afternoon, during a lull in  trade, old 
man Hyde, the father of  the girl I hoped to 
wed,  came  slouching  through  tee  door, 
about half drunk, his normal condition.

“Gimme half a pound of  terbacker,” said 

he, as I turned toward him.

I reached him the desired  article and, as 
he tendered me a new silver dollar  in  pay­
ment, he remarked:

“I heerd they was  passin’  ‘queer’  stuff 
’round town..  One feller  tole  me they was 
a reward fer the man as ketched them that’s 
shovin’ it. 

Is that so?”

I told him that, to the best of  my knowl­

edge and belief,  it was as he had heard.

d—d stuff! 

“Wall,  I jest wish I had a bushel  of  the 
I wouldn’t  scruple  to pass it.”
I put the dollar in the till,  gave  the man 
his change and he slunk out  of  the  store, 
muttering to himself  about “ teem d—d de­
tectives!”

It had become a  habit  with me to exam­
ine every piece of money  I  received,  and I 
mechanically did so with  the  dollar  Hyde 
had given me. 
It was a counterfeit and,  on 
examination,  I found it to be an  exact  du­
plicate of tee one Mr. Elroy had discovered! 
Then the remembrance of the man’s  drunk­
en maunderings flashed upon  me, and I be­
gan to wonder-if it could  be  possible  that 
Hyde was the man the  detectives  wanted. 
But, pshaw, that could  not  be!  Hvde had 
n’t brains enough to do such fine work,  and, 
besides,  he  was as poor and illy clad as pos­
sible,  seeming to be hardly  able  to  make 
both ends meet, while a successful  counter­
feiter would  naturally  have  good  clothes 
and present an opulent appearance.

Notwithstanding all  my  reasoning  and 
arguments  against
I 
could not get it out of my head  that  Hyde
was the man wanted, 
I   deter-
mined to  keep  my  weather  eye  open  and 
await developméhts.

probability, 

The next morning,  as  I  was  arranging 
some goods upon the shelves,  the  object of 
my matrimonial  intentions,
Martie  Hyde 
came in and, after some desultory conversa­
tion between us, the young  lad£  asked for 
some  sugar. 
I  weighed  out  the  desired 
amount and she gave me a  silver  dollar in 
return.  I gave her the change and she went 
out.  3ify heart throbbed painfully as I took 
the dollar from the drawer to  make  my us­
ual examination. 
I had made up my  mind

and  a  deputization,  after  informing  the 
s'beriff of the  use to which I intended  put­
ting it.  With a rifle on myshoulder  and a 
revolver in my pocket,  I started  out.  Tak­
ing a course  sufficiently  far  away to avert 
suspicion,  I made a detour of Hyde’s  small 
farm and took  my steps to the  rough cabin 
of an old hunter,  who lived by the accuracy 
of  his  aim  and  seemed  to enjoy life im­
mensely in the woods.  His  cabin  was  lo-

in the heart of the  forest.  Old  John  was 
sitting placidly smoking his pipe and clean­
ing his gun. 
I broached my plan to tee old 
man and offered him half of  the  reward if 
he would help me and we  were  successful. 
Old John took his pipe out  of  his  mouth 
and eyed me sarcastically for a moment.

“See here, lad,” he  began,  “ha’in’t I ben

“Martie,” I whispered,  “don’t speatr, but* 

come here.” 

v

The girl nearly jumped over the  table M  
her fright, but she made no  sound  and diet, 
as I asked.

,v  

“Why,  Sain!” she  exclaimed,  under her; 
breath,  “ what on earth are you  here for a t 
this time of night? . If my father knew yott> 
were in the house, he  wouldn’t-  hesitate to  
kill you!  Please go*  for my sake!” 
“ Where is your father?” I asked. 
“He—he’s gone to bed.”
I noticed the hesitation in her  reply, and 
at once determined that it was not the truth 
and teat Hyde was engaged in his nefarious; 
business somewhere about tee house, 
: 
“Martie,” I whispered,  “tell  me  w here, 
I have  proof  that  he is n  
your father is. 
counterfeiter, and I am here to  arrest  him!
I will guarantee  you  perfect  safety if you 
will tell me,  and no one shall  harm  you or 
know that you were the  means  of  his dis- ' 
covery.”

^ 

I believe  he  killed  her! 

“Oh*  ¡Sam!”  exclaimed  the  girl, as she« 
clasped her hands around my arm in her ex­
citement.  “I dare  not  tell!  He  said  he 
would kill me if I did,  and  I  am  sure  hd 
would.  My sister  helped  get him arrestecfc 
once.  He got off some  way,  and  she  dis­
appeared soon after  and  has  never  come» 
back. 
I wish I .  
dared tell, for I am sick of this horrible lifel”'
I soothed the girl and calmed  her  fears,. 
and she finally showed us the  way  to  the- 
cellar.  Hyde had a^confederate,  so  M artie' 
told us;  but they were  both  unarmed,  not 
expecting a surprise,mid we knew we could 
capture them  easily.  Leading  us  silently 
down  a  dark  flight  of  stairs  into  room 
where a light burned feebly  upon  a  shelf* 
Martie pointed out to  us  a  door,  made ofc 
solid oak and heavily barred  with iron.
. “Wait a moment,” whispered Martie, “an€&
I will give them a signal.”

As we drew our revolvers,  Martie  spoke 
the word “Open!”  and  the  counterfeiters 
were revealed.

Hyde and his confederate were  powerful 
men and nearly overpowered us.  Somehow* 
in the melee,  a revolver was discharged and 
Hyde sank to the floor gasping  for  breath.. 
The other man was soon  secured,  and then  ; 
we had time  to  examine  our  capture, 
it 
was a valuable one.  The  room,  about ten 
by fourteen feet in  size, was filled with im­
plements  for  making  bogus  coin—molds* 
furnace,  dies,  machines for  milling  and in? 
a corner was a heap of  shining  metal,  evi­
dently used for melting.

We carefully bound his  confederate  .and; 
carried Hyde to the upper rooms.  The bul­
let had evidently made a fatal wound.  Hyde- 
was gasping and straggling  for  breath and 
motioned for water.  He regained  his voice 
‘  .
and gasped: 
“I’m done for,  but I must  say  just  one 
word before I die and make what  little res­
titution I can.  Martie,” and the dying man 
looked into the girl’s eyes  as  if  he  would 
read his fate there,  “Martie,  you  ain’t   my 
gal no more’n you’re the daughter of that old 
hag I call  wife.  Yer  mother  died  in our ^ 
house when you  were  about  two—”  The ~ 
effort was too much for the  dying man;  his 
throat  contracted  painfully  once  or twice 
and his soul went to meet his Maker.

; 

Hyde’s confederate was  sent  over  for a&. 
long term of years.  I received  the  reward 
offered and the commendations of tee officer 
who made it.  He offered me  a  position in 
his service.as a detective,  but  I  preferred 
mercantile life with Martieas a life partner.,

Rights of Mercantile Agencies. 

■
A closely contested libel suit that involve», 
the right of a mercantile agency to send out. 
derogatory reports recently occupied the at­
tention of Judge  Barker  and a jury in the- 
Boston Superior Court for  ten  days.  The 
plaintiff was George J.  Raymond,  a  well- 
known dealer in small  wares,  and  tee de- .. 
fendant the E.  Russell  &  Co.  Mercantile 
Agency.  The damages were piacedat $75,- 
000. 
In 1882,  in  response  to  inquiries o f  
subscribers,  the agency  made  unfavorable^ 
reports regarding the  credit  and  business^; 
standing of the  plaintiff,  alleging  that he^ 
was about  to  fail.  The  judge > instructed; 
tee jury that it was not  strange  that  such* 
establishments should come into  existence* 
and the inquiries made by their agents-weie-' 
tee same as if made by the principal* and i f  
honestly and conscientiously made are priv­
ileged.  Proper care must be used in tee se-s - 
lection of agents and in the collection of in—  J 
formation,  and the truth of the reports sent- * 
out  must  be  honestly  believed.  Rumors, 
must be communicated as rumors, a ad there- % 
must be no coloring by the persons, sending; 
them out,  and there should be no-spit^ or iU ;

whom tee information  is  furnished.  Tfce- 
jury,  after being out twelve  hours,  brought
iu a verdict for the defense.

tiously  around  to  the  rear,  a  window 
was found slightly ajar.  We  knew  that if

and the words of  Mr.  Biggs,  Mr.  Elroy’s 
competitor in trade,  that  “it’s  made  right 
under  our  noses,”  seemed to me to be the 
exaggeration  of one naturally suspicious of 
his neighbors.

I had been in the employ of Mr. Elroy, as 
clerk in his general store, nearly  five years, 
and had come to be looked  upon by him al­
most in the light  of  a  son.  True,  I  had 
been faithful to his interests and had spared 
neither labor nor pains to make myself useful; 
but employes are not always rewarded with 
tee confidence and esteem of those who ena-: 
hie them to earn the bread of  life,  and  in 
my case I felt extremely grateful to Mr, El­
roy and his estimable wife for  their consid­
eration.

Upon my shoulders,  during the five yeara 
I had been in Mr. Elroy’s store,  had  jested 
the burden—pleasant to me—of  a  mother’s 
support, by the sudden death of  my  father 
in a logging-camp,  where he acted in tee ca­
pacity of foreman. 
It had- been  impressed 
upon me by my father that  my  pathway in 
life lay through  the  dusty  lanes  of  com­
merce and, accordingly,  my education up to 
tee time of . my  father’s  death,  had  been
snaped with this end  m  view, 
Therefore,
at the time of our  sad  bereavement,  I was 
qualified to take the  minor  position  with 
Mr. Elroy so kindly  offered  bÿ  him  upon 
learning of our destitution.

A few months previous to  the  discovery 
of the counterfeit money  in  circulation,  m y 
thoughts and course of life  had  been inter­
rupted aud directed into a new channel by a 
fair maiden who,  with her parents, had come 
to reside upon a little farm near the village. 
The girl was as beautiful as one could wish, 
but her parents were  tee  most  villainous, 
ill-favored,  rough-looking  characters  teat 
had ever disgraced this  respectable  neigh­
borhood  with  their  presence.
From  the
first, these vagabonds,  as my  mother called 
them, were shunned by their  neighbors and 
looked upon as birds  of  evil  omen.  This 
mistrust of the girl’s relatives  by  everyone, 
and  my own  mother  especially, 
together 
with a lack of worldly possessions sufficient 
hitherto,  been the 
to support a wife»  had,
chief obstacles in the way of  my  obtaining 
tee desired end.

To take up toe thread  of  my  story, 

the 
. developments of the day following  the dis­
covery of tee counterfeit  money  were such 
as to confirm me in the  belief  that - Biggs 
was right in regard  to  tee  manufacturers 
thereof being residents'of Smithfield.,

A gentleman can^ Into tee  store  during 
tee forenoon  and  was  closeted  with  Mr. 
Elroy far some time. „  As tee  stranger  lef$ 
tee store, Mr.  Ulroy remarked:

“Saur, there*» going to  be some  startling 
developments in coimeetion with  this conn-, 
terfeiting.  That fellow who just  left  is a 
detective,  and he offers a reward  of  $1,000 
for tee arrest of the guilty parties.  Chance 
ter you, Sam, if you’re smiui.”

This set  me to thinking.  Herd  was  an

British Provinces of North  America into  a

;  > colonies;  .with  legal  rights  of  secession 
/"seem ed  to  the  individual  provinces, 
in- 
1  stead  of  consolidating  them  intoaniiide- 
R  pendent nation.  The second was in plung­
ing this loose confederacy deeply  into  debt 
;1  to build  political railroads with a monopoly

I  Some of The Tradesman’s readers may 
be  inclined  to  smile  at  the  enthusiastic 
ptophesies of Mr.  'Newell  in  reference  to 
Northern  Michigan  as  a dairy section, set 
forth in  another  column,  but no one who 
has studied the situation  carefully  will say 
aught  against  the  writer’s 
conclusions. 
Thorough  experiments  have  demonstrated 
to a  certainty that much of  the  land  com­
monly known as “pine barrens” can be con 
verted'into fair grass land  through  the in­
termediation of successive rye crops plowed 
under until a mold is formed strong enough 
to  maintain  the  p ass  roots.  Once well 
rooted,  grass crops  thrive  remarkably well 
mid the long winters offer the  only obstacle 
in the way of successful  dairy  operations 
As compared with  the  increased  value of 
lands in the so-called dairy sections, howev 
-«r,  Northern  Michigan  presents 
excep­
tional opportunities for men of  capital,  ên 
etgy and experience in  the  development of 
the dairy industry.

Wm.  E.  Cooper, proprietor of  the collec­
tion agency known as  the  Retail  Dealers’ 
Commercial Agency,  has  compromised  the 
legal  proceedings  brought  against  him in 
the Superior Court by A. Livingston, by the 
payment of $150.  The suit was brought by 
Livingston on the  ground that Cooper pub 
lished his name on a   delinquent  list  with­
out any valid reason for so  doing,  Living­
ston claiming that he owed no bills in Coop­
er’s hands and, moreover,  that he never re­
ceived notice of any kind previous  to Coop 
erts blacklisting him.  The fact that  Coop­
er was not Willing that the  case  should go 
before a jury is proof  presumptive  that he 
could present  no  valid  defense—in  other 
words, that he  is  conducting  business  in 
such a way as to bring  himself  and his pa­
trons  under  the  punishment  of  the  law 
whenever the victims of his unjust methods 
are inclined to assert their rights before  the 
proper tribunal.

Howard City—H.  E. Walsworth has sold 
his interest in the grocery business of Knapp 
Walsworth to  his  partner, who will con­
tinue the business  under  the  style of O. J. 
Knapp.

Dimondale—The  store  occupied  by  the 
Windsor  Co-operative  Co.  was burned to 
the ground one day last  week.  The  stock 
was  mostly  saved,  so  that  the loss will 
not exceed $2,000.

Charlotte — Reynolds  Bros.,  the  Eaton 
Rapids dry goods  dealers,  have  purchased 
the R.  C. Jones  dry  goods  stock and will 
continue the  business  under  the  personal 
management of Henry L. Reynolds.

Cadillac—F.  C.  Lentz has  purchased the 
grocery  establishment  of F. D. Griffin,  and 
will move his own stock  to  that  location. 
The building now  occupied  by him will be 
used by its owner, John Turner,  as a furni­
ture store.

Detroit—S. A. Welling, formerly engaged 
the wholesale  notion  business, at Grand 
Rapids, but  for  the  past  year  engaged in 
the same business at Detroit, has concluded 
to return to Jackson,  where  he  first  estab­
lished in the notion trade twenty years ago, 
Ludington—E.  S.  Day  engaged  in-  the 
grocery  business  nearly  a  year  ago  and 
three  months  later  was  joined  by  his 
brother, D.  S.  Day,  when  the firm name 
was  changed  to  E.  S.  Day  &  Co.  The 
principal partner was elected  city treasurer 
and  discovered  about  three  months  ago 
that  he  was  “short”  about  $1,100.  To 
secure his bondsmen,  he gave them a bill of 
salé of his grocery  stock,  which  was  sub­
sequently closed out to  Chas.  Tripp.  The 
stock  was  worth -about  $1,100 ’ and  the 
book  accounts  amounted  to  $600.  No 
statement of  affairs  has  been  rendered to 
the creditors,  none  of  whom has received 
any intimation  that  he  would be paid auy 
portion of his claim.  Considering  that the 
firm had $1,500  original  capital  and  that 
the  salary  and commission received by Mr. 
Day from the city  amounted to about $800, 
the failure has a singular appearance.

Italy  seems  to  have  embarked  on the 
; ’proverbially  unprofitable business of shear­
ing a wild boar,  in her  war  upon  Habesh, 
it,  Abyssinia.  The

country 
is  poor 
and  barren,  with 
miasma  and  fevers 
localities; 
in  some 
the  people  warlike  and  savage  fighters. 
Their  forces  may  be  crashed  by  the im­
proved  weapons  of  modern  civilization. 
Nut by-no device'could the country be made 
¡•» profitable possession, and nothing but the 
»craze for colonial  possessions  and depend- 
j «ocies, which has seized  Western  Europe, 
can account for  so  foolish an undertaking 
as this war.  As  it  is,  the Italian army is 
not crushed because  King  John cannot get 
«applies enough to enable his  army  to  ad- 
yance, and is not victorious  because it can­
not  leave  its  base  of  supplies for an ad­
vance  into  the  country.  Both  sides  un- 
Aontatedly  are  heartily  sick  of the barren 
and absurd conflict.

The Inauguration of a manufacturing  ed

CIGAR  DEALERS
$11,550 forth of Real Estate

Read  this  Scheme.

And  personal  property  to  be  actually 
given away to  purchasers  of  the celebrated
“Golden-Rod” and “Presto” Gigars
in 1888.

We  have  sold  these  goods  for  the  past 
ten  years  at  the  uniform  price of  $55 per 
M.  for “Golden-Rod”  and  $35  per  M.  for 
the “Presto”  cigars,  and  shall  continue  to 
sell tllem at that price,  thus  charging noth­
ing extra for  the property we  shall distrib­
ute.
We  have figured that  by liberal advertis­
ing we can  save  the  salaries and  expenses 
of several men on the road and that the'dif­
ference will  pay for  this  property and  the 
puichasers of  the goods  will get  the direct 
benefit. 
Just  look  at  this  carefully  and 
see a plain business proposition.  We hand 
over to you direct the amount it would cost 
us to sell these  goods in   the ordinary way.
We will  distribute  this  property  in  the 

fallowing manner:

We will  start  an  order  book at this date 
with lines numbered  from  1  to  3,000  and 
each order will  be  entered  in  the book  in 
the order it is received at our  office.

Every fifth order  received will entitle the 
party ordering  to  a  fine  gold  handled  silk 
umbrella which wili be sent with tae goods.
Every  24th  order  received  will  entitle 
sender to a full tea set of 56  pieces Import­
ed China Ware, which will be sent with the 
cigars.
Every 74th  order received will entitle the 
party ordering to a clear title deed of a piece 
of  real-estate.  Either  à  building  lot  and 
water  privilege,  at a  summer  resort, a-city 
lot in city of  Sault  Ste  Marie,  a house  and 
lot in  St.  Ignace,  or  a  farm  of  160  acres. 
There are 39 lots of the  real  estate and 730 
articles  of  personal  property  to  go  with 
3,000 orders, an  average  of  more  than one 
in four.

An order will consist  of  %  M.  “Golden 
Rod” cigars at $55 per'M. or Y  M.  “Presto” 
cigars  at  $35  per  M.  An  order  of double 
this amount from one  partv will be entered 
as two orders.

These cigars  are not  made  of  cheap ma­
terial, like the  ordinary  scheme  cigar,  but 
are First-Class  Goods,  made  as  we  have 
always made them,  to hold trade.

STRAY  FACTS.

Freepdrt — John  Nagler  has  started  a 

lumber yard.  ~

Mancelona—A.  L. Wileox and Warren S. 
Watson have dissolved  the  firm  of  A.  L. 
Wilcox <fe Co.'  Business will  be  continued 
by the former.

Albionr-rGaige  &  Jones,  proprietors  of 
the  Standard  coal  mine  at  Jackson,  have 
purchased 400 acres of  land  near this place 
and will transfer their base of operations to 
Albion.

Fennville—The business men  are consid­
erably elated over the striking of  salt brine 
in their test well,  said to  be  the  strongest 
brine in the State.  One quart of the water, 
when  evaporated,  produced  ten ounces of 
salt.  The well is down 1527 feet,

Croswell—An inventory  of  the estate of 
Albert  J.  Thorp,  who  recently  assigned, 
shows  assets  of  $7,244  and  liabilities in 
about the same amaunt.  Detroit  creditors 
are  principally  interested  in  the  failure, 
Schloss Bros,  to the extent of $1,127.31; A. 
Krolik & Co.  to the tune  of  $1,319.05, and 
the Dime Savings  Bank  to  the  amofmt of 
$1,200.

St.  Louis—The St. Louis  Magnetic  Min­
eral Water Co.,  recently  organized,  has a 
capital  stock  of  $50,000.  L.  Saviers  is 
president; N. A.  Richards,  vice-president; 
M. J.  Moore, treasurer;  F.  C.  Henry,  Sec­
retary,  They  will  spend  some  money in 
printers’ ink in the expectations of reviving 
the  glories  of 
the  old  Wah-wah-sum 
springs.

Nortliport—B.  N.  Pickard  has  brought 
suit  for  $5,000^damages  against  Deputy 
Sheriff  Bryant, of  Leelanaw county.  Pick­
ard bought  the  store  of  Nelson & Co,  last- 
January,  and  the  Deputy Sheriff  closed it 
on  an  attachment  taken  out 'by  Stern  & 
Hill, of  Chicago,  who  claim  the  transfer 
was  fraudulent.  The  trial  occurs  at  the 
May term of  the Circuit Court at Leland.
The  Case  of  Mr.  McAdam,  of  Cadillac.
Agreeable to promise,  T h e  T radesman 
sent a special representative to Cadillac last 
week to investigate the statements made by 
a local  correspondent  in  its issue of  April 
11 relative to the causes which led to the fail­
ure of  J.  C. McAdam, the  dry  goods  mer­
chant.  While  several  gentlemen  of  high 
standing  in business, social  and  legal  cir­
cles pronounced the statements  correct, the 
majority  appeared to favor  Mr.  Me Adam’s 
side  of 
that  T he 
Tradesman  has  no  hesitancy  in  stating 
that its correspondent must  have been mis­
taken;  that  the  majority  of  his  charges 
must  have  bees  drawn,  from  wrong  con­
clusions;  that  their publication was a mis­
take,  as  they tended to place  Mr.  McAdam 
in an unfavorable light in  the  community. 
T h e  T radesman does no  man  an  inten­
tional  injustice,  and  welcomes  this oppor­
tunity to thus set at  rest  any misapprehen­
sions  which  may  have  existed  ■ in Nconse- 
quence of  such publication.

TO  THE  TRADE:

W e wish  to caution the trade against  oil from 
Dima Crude which is being offered for sale in some 
localities as being best W ater W hite.  This oil. has 
not  yet  been  satisfactorily  refined  and is  sure to 
cause complaint wherever marketed.  If bright and 
fresh it quickly deteriorates, and in burning smokes 
the  chimney and  gives. off  characteristic  sulphur 
odor, especially  when  the  lamp  is  turned  low  or 
when it is put out.  W e submit that w ith our guar­
anteed brands and  qualities  at prices we  are mak­
ing, there canjbe little use for the inferior grades.
OUr  XXX  WATER  WHITE  MICHIGRfi trand
is made by the  Standard Oil Company from select­
ed Pennsylvania  product, and is  a perfect  burning 
oil of light gravity, free from  paraffine  and always 
uniform.  W e keep in stock and can ship promptly 
the following grades:
MICHIGAN TEST CARBON  OIL, 
XXX WATER WHITE MICH. OIL,
DEODORIZED STOVE  GASOLINE.

wfr'â recent  inform- 
_ 
al conference  of  butlnqss  men thd  nhed'of 
some means for concert  of  action among the 
various interests'of the  city came up for dis­
cussion. _ The lack  of  anything  of  the kind : 
was  recognized  by  everybody  present.  The 
discussion led to the  conclusion  that the sub­
ject ought to be  thoroughly  investigate«}.  À 
committee of three  comprising  Messrs. D. O. 
Roberts, Sam.  Folz  and  A.  K.  Edwards,  was 
asked to take the matter  in  h’and and, if their 
inquiries showed  that  an  association for this 
purpose  wag  called  for  by  the  interests of 
Kalamazoo business, mature plans and  call a 
general  meeting  to  which’  such  measures 
could be reported.  The  committee has- been 
conducting  a  correspondence  with  various 
places.the  past  two  weeks  to  ascertain the 
various methods pursued and  the experience 
had  with  them.  That  committee  is  about 
ready to report and will probably call  a meet­
ing for some evening the  middle of the week, 
perhaps Wednesday, to take such  action as is 
found best.  That  meeting  is  a  general one,

M. C. Goossen, of the Committee on Trade In­
terests, presented the following report, which 
was accepted: 
'  From what your Committee on Trade Inter­
ests can learn, it  seems  that  there  are  some 
misnnttorstiuutings in regard to business inter­
ests.  We,  as  a  Committee,  suppose  and  do 
recognize the fact, that we are  not  to  be  re­
specters of  persons, <ir, in  other  words, busi­
ness firms or  corporations.  We do hot  make 
reports  With  intebt  to  hurt  or  damage  any 
man’s trade  or business—that would be  con­
trary to'the purpose of your Committee.
Bringing  the'pickle, question  up  again,  it 
seems that a  member bx the firm of Walker & 
Sons  has  taken  up the question  of  shortage 
with the intent of revenge, but your Commit­
tee  has  not  as  yet  reported  whether  this 
Walker brand  was- a  Grand  Rapids, Chicago, 
New York or  Boston  brand  of  goods.  How­
ever, we  will say  that  the  brand  referred  to 
was  not  Walker & Sons,'and; therefore, the 
Committee ean not see why ill-fee li ng should 
exist against one of.its members who is trying 
to further the interests of the trade generally. 
To  be  sure,  yonr  Committee  cannot  do 
effectual work without stepping on someone’s 
toes,  and the result  is  that  the  promise  has 
been given that another  year every barrel of 
pickels  shall contain  1,200 together  with  the 
firm assertion that the  grocers  shall  have  to 
pay for them, too.  Your Committee  assured 
the offended one that the grocers were willing 
to pay for alt they received.  While we will al­
low, and are satisfied that the Association will 
concur in the opinion of your Oommittee that 
the grievences are not all one-sided, we do not 
doubt  but  what  competition  in  trade  has 
driven, and is daily driving  business  men  to 
just this work of cutting on count, weight and 
measure of  most everything bandied  by the 
commercial world; in fact, it has driven many 
a small  dealer, and larger ones as well to the 
wail for just such  leakages  as  these,  and to 
remedy this matter is a necessity of the day.
-  Your  Committee  would  also  refer  you  to 
weigh a box of cod-fish  and  see  whether  the 
net weight  contained  in the box is 40 pounds 
or whether It is  from 36 to  38;  also  mackeral 
whether a One-half barrel contains 100 pounds 
or only  contains  90.  Further,  a  member  of 
your Committee bought six cheqse  last week 
and  on  weighing  them  found  eight  pounds 
short, which  makes a  deduction  of  31.08, to-
f ether with  cash discount,  making a  total of 
1.64 on an investment of about $28, making a 
net saving of 6 per cent.
Bear these things in mind, gentlemen.  Your 
Committee  is  seeking  to  interest  you  and 
hopes  that  larger  attendance  may  follow 
meeting after meeting.  You cannot afford to 
miss even one.  Each  and every member can 
bring some point of interest,
C. E.  Morrow,  traveling  representative  for 
F. & J. Heinz, the Pittsburg  pickle  manufac­
turers,  then  addressed  the  Association  at 
some  length  on  the  subject  of short-count 
pickles.  He  said  the  agitation  inaugurated 
by  the  Association  had  been  productive  of 
good results, as  no  grocer  in  the  city  would 
now buy anything  but full-count  goods.  He 
considered this a  long  step  in the right direc­
tion, as  it evidenced a  determination  on the 
part of the retailer to pay for what he got, and 
namore.  This  stand was  especially  pleasing 
to the  speaker, as  his  goods  are  guaranteed 
full count  every time.  So confident is he of 
this fact  that  he offers  to  give  a  barrel  of 
pickles free to any member of the Association 
who fails to find things just as represented.

President  Herrick  remarked that it  is  too 
often the case that grocers do not know  what 
their goods actually  cost  them  and that they 
sell too  recklessly in  consequence.  As  an il­
lustration of this statement, he cited the case 
of  a  neighbor  grocer who  was  selling  Ber­
muda onions for 10  cents a pound, when they 
<jost a  trifle more than, that amount at whole­
sale.  His experience was that the grocer can­
not watch his tares too closely.

M. C. Goossen called attention to the weight 
of 50 pound  tin cans of  lard.  The  packages 
are supposed to contain 50 pounds net.  A sa 
matter of  fact,  they  are  from  two  to  three 
pounds short.
Leonard  Kipp  remarked  that  his  jobber 
refuses to  make good such shortages, where­
upon, a  member  remarked  that  no  jobber 
would stand out in defense of dishonest meth­
ods if  the  purchaser  insisted  upon  getting 
what he bought.

Mr. Kipp suggested that sugar brrrels would 
stand  weighing,  when  President  Herrick re­
marked that  empty sugar  barrels  invariably 
weigh from one  to  three  pounds  more  than 
they  are  marked,  even  in  the  case of  hard 
sugars, where soakage  plays no figure.

The collectors reported that  they  had  been 
fairly successful  in  the  collection  of claims 
and requested the  members to use their tele­
phone whenever they want a report on a new 
customer. 
of $39.24, and the meeting adjourned.

The “ Bad Debt” Collection  Agencies.
Sa n d  L a k e , April 26,1888.

E. A. Stowe, G rind Rapids:
D e a r  S ir —Noticing iD  your last issue  your 
article headed “Beware  of Him,” referring to 
Sprague’s Bad Debt Collection Agency, 1 here­
with enclose two precious blackmailing letters 
received  by  our firm—the first  a  cool  false­
hood,  the  second  a  plaintive  mewing  of  a 
feline  specie, better  known  as  pure  cussed- 
ness,  mixed  with  17 ounces to the pound of 
“ You-don’t-know-what-you-may«-want-in-the- 
futuro” sort, of  sympathy and  advice, all  of 
which we  pronounce  an  unmitigated lie  and 
humbug.  First, we don’t  owe any man a dol­
lar by the  name  of the alleged creditor ; sec­
ond, we have never refused to pay our honest 
debts; third, we can get all the eredit we need; 
fourth, we eau pay our debts 190 cents on the 
dollar and  have some  left to help  prosecute 
this “Imp of Hades,” to  the dire influeuce-of 
this  “Chicago  Detectives  Agency”  notwith­
standing.
Plainly, E. 4;, what do  you  think  of  such 
missives going through the public mails?

Yours truly,

J ,  V . Cr a n d a l l  & So n.

The Messrs. Crandall ought  to know the at­
titude of  T h e   T r a d e s m a n  on  the subject of 
“Bad Debt”  collecting d&encies, it they have 
ipad the  paper as carefully as we  think they 
m m   T h e  T r a d e s m a n   has  always  held that 
Such methods were .¿a direct  violation of law 
and that their  employment rendered all  per­
sons connected therewith liable to inlfatwant 
under the statute;  that the postal authorities 
are taking steps to secure the enactment of a 
law  by Cpugress  prohibiting  the  Use  of  the 
mailsfor such blackmailing purposes; that no 
one who  possesses  any, of the  attributes  at 
a gentleman will resort to such  means for the 
collection  of  claims.  The

E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
D e a r  Si r —I enclose  you a list of names un­
der the head of  “Information  Wanted,’■  “Be 
instated” and “Found” Tor publication on the 
next State list.  I also-enclose  you check for 
$2 for eight aew members, lately added to our

Our Association is interested in  your insur­

T r a d e s m a n.  Will you kindly inform us of the 
other associations or members  which  are  in 
terssted, that we may join with them in a har­
monious effort to push the scheme through?

B. A. Stow«, Grand Rapids; 
Dear Sir—Since  writing  you, I have  made 
some investigations  into  the  organization of 
the  proposed  Business  Men’s  Mutual  Fire 
Insurance  Co.  I cannot  find  how  we  can 
organize  and  do  business 
throughout  the 
State,  except 
through  special  legislation 
Most  mutual  insurance  companies  are  con­
fined to three contiguous  «»unties.  Act  No. 
75, Laws of 1883, permitted ths organization of 
merchants’ mutuals, with  the  State for a ter­
ritory, but the  courts  have  held  that act un­
constitutional.  Can you give us  a way out of 
this difficulty?
At the last meeting of-the Association here, 
two new members  were  admitted,  making 85 
in  all.  Our  Association  is  ready  to furnish 
land and money, too, to  any  permanent  fac 
tories seeking new and desirable locations.
There  are  good  openings  here  for a good 
harness shop; also a boot and shoe store. 

Yours Respectfully, 

G e o. B. C a l d w e l l , Sec’y.

Four New Enterprises W ithin Six W eeks 

Owosso, April 18,1888.

E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
D e a r  Si r —Owing  to  the inclemency of the 
weather to-day, business is  so stagnant that 1 
find ample time to  direct a short communica­
tion to you  an«T inform you  that the Owosso 
B. M. A. is still wide awake and full of energy 
and enthusiasm, being ever on  the alert  and 
keeping  an  eye  open for  anything good  for 
the prosperity and welfare  of  our oity.  And 
in  order to  demonstrate to  you  the truth of 
this statement, I will inform you of  the good 
accomplished  in  the  line  of  improvements 
within the last six weeks.  We have secured a 
steam  granite and  marble works;  also a  dis­
tributing office and repair shop of the Groton 
Bridge Manufacturing C ol, of  New York, for 
their western trade.  This  is quite an  exten­
sive  concern, manufacturing  wrought  iron 
bridges, traction and  portable engines  grain 
separators, clover machines, buhr stone  feed 
mills,  spoke' machines,  etc.  We have also se­
cured  a canning  factory,  for the  canning of 
fruits and ail  kinds  of  vegetables.  We  have 
just secured  a  cart  and  buggy  factory,  the 
firm agreeing to turn  out at  least  3,000  carts 
and buggies the first year.
All this has  been  accomplished  within  six 
weeks and will prove quite an extensive addi­
tion to our already established manufacturing 
enterprises.  The  new  enterprises  are  to  be 
attributed wholly to  the energy  and  labor of 
the  B. M.  A., together  with the co-operatiofi 
of our common council.
I think this is sufficient to prove to you that 
we are not of the Rip Yan Wjnkle style.  Our 
last regular  meeting  was  well  attended  and 
quite successful-and benefioial.  We have lost 
several  members  by  business  changes,  but' 
have made-enough new ones to keep our num­
ber goo«!.  We are still on the leok out for new 
enterprises.  By the way-we have no foundry 
and  machine shops in our oity at present ana 
I think there would be a splendid opportunity 
for one in a manufacturing city of this size.

E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
D e a r   Si r —A  month jor  six  weeks  ago  I 
wrote you and asked  you  to  send me copy of 
your constitution  and  by-laws,  and you very 
kindly’and  promptly  complied  with  my re­
quest.  The business  men  of this place held a 
meeting a few days  ago  and  decided to form 
an auxiliary to-the State Association,  We are 
to hold  another  meeting  next Tuesday night 
for the purpose  of  perfecting  our organiza­
tion.  My object in writing  you at this time is 
to ask whether you could give us  any inform­
ation or Suggestions  relative to the best man­
ner of proceedure  in  organizing,  other than 
what is contained ip  the  copy of the constitu­
tion.  Would our annual dues to the State As­
sociation  for  the  balance  of the year be the 
full  amount required  for the year?  Any in­
formation or suggestions  you might see fit to 
offer would be thankfully received.

Yours truly,  *

convenient cottage and  his  eating-house at

THIS  PAINT  is composed of NATURAL  MINERAL and  HYDRAULIC  CEMENT,  and  will  out-wear  other pigments.  .It 
will cement up the cracks, fill up the pores of  the  wood and make  a  hard  and  serviceable covering.  FLOORS are necessarily waa&r 
ed frequently, this paint will  harden  almost to  stone  under the  influence  of water  by reason  of  the cement.  The success  of QUB 
FLOOR  PAIIJT is the result of  a series  of  practical  experiments  extending over several  years, with the view of  filling  the dem spi 
for a Paint adapted to floors  and such places as are often scrubbed with soap.

early  settlers of New  Amster-

ag the tortuous  paths of Manhattan 
¡an Aludan N ights  tale  would hot 
Aeemed more incredulous to them than 
tire  stately  putter  add  cheese

of  modern  New York.  The 
tirine  that Red  once flourished on the 
J P ^ J Id k a g e  of  the Netherlands  and' 
s |  ftbe lowcountries, while  wandering at thefjr 
sífjérwn sweet will In this island colony,  mark- 
|ssi« i   oat  some  of  the  principal  streets  of 
f^.A tteriea*6  metropolis. ¡  It .was  here  that 
W  ,American dairying  had  its  birth on a hum- 
scale and in  a primitive  manner, prob- 
y; but ail things were primitive  in those 
^d&jrs and ail great  enterprises  have humble 
beginnings.  The  sturdy  Dutchmen,  with 
their flocks and herds, crept up the Hudson, 
and under the very shadow of the wigwams 
«of the liv e  Nations turned their cattle loose 
P   on the Mohawk flats.  The  frugal wives of 
rthese  brave  Knickerbockers  here  found 
' their butter just as golden mid their cheese 
[; i  As rich and mellow as  their  skill  had  for­
merly produced under the dykes of Holland, 
•and thus this  ancient and honorable indus- 
.tty, nourished  lavishly  by  a rich  and  pro-, 
«¿active  country,  moved,  like  everything 
^xiiB   progressive,  steadily  westward.  As 
'  th e  temperate zones  contain,  and  always 
| |  wUlcontain, the  most  enlightened 'and  in-1 
^i^lj^Ugent  people  on  thè  earth’s  surface,’it 
;;«MB6essarily  follows  that  every  by-path  of 
"trade or  improvement from  which  flickers 
4%  least ray of  hope is  soon  developed by 
B  them  into the broad avenue of success.  The 
g ^ d |u ry  products of this country wiR probably 
/¿Rways find a  steady and  lucrative  market 
•In the  manufacturing  districts of  Western 
Europe, for  unlike  the  wheat  growers  of 
p$he Northwest, the dairymen of this country 
(have no fear of competition with the penny 
fiafearof India or  Russia, 
it  is true that in 
th e  southern hemisphere, Australia and the 
A rg^tm e  Republic,  some  attention  has 
-»been  paid to  dairy  advancement in connec­
tion with stock-raising, but we of the North 
have little to fear  from  our southren breth­
ren in this  regard,  for  while the. St.  Law­
rence basin  and the Upper Mississippi val­
ley  are  natural  dairy  regions,  the  South 
¿Ahterican  pampas  and  Australian  bush 
-■Steins must  always  remain  better  adapted 
.to the production of  beef'and hides.  Here 
'in  the  United States  the fatare  magnitude 
: 9 fth e  dairy  industry cannot  be forseen  or 
'•pstímated.  We  know  that  we  possess  a 
'vast area of  the finest  grazing  land in  the 
’^tforld,  and  in  the  bolder  prairie  states 
creameries and cheese  factories are already 
;in£ringing on the stock rangers’dpmain and 
jv&olstein milch cows  feed side by side with 
L,. beef steers.  This  country will always pro- 
-duce  its  own  beef  and  have  an  immense 
-surplus  for export, but  butter  and  cheese 
p a re  necessary  food  staples,  too,  and their 
¿^manufacture seems to  be  supplanting stock 
¿raising in portions of the Northwest.

While it  is interesting to watch  the pro- 
sgressive strides  of  this  honorable  branch 
¿^im áb aad ry  in other  states, we  of  Michif 
ganw ill find it the most  profitable to  care- 
-ísfttUy-study  Its  different  phases,  that  its 
v «onerai .tone may be improved and its value 
¿¿mhanced.  The natural and climatic condi 
-.-tiens of ! tins  great  State  are peculiarly fos- 
tering  to  the  industry  under  discussion. 
W m  have excellent grass  land,  streams and 
rivulets  of  cold  crystal  water  flowing  in 
every  direction,  and  a  climate  that  for 
hgalthf uluess and vigor cannot be surpassed 
lin tfe^nnion.  Where  mankind  is  healthy, 
mmlmate  must  necessarily  be. 
Perhaps 
¿^» n y  think  because  the  southern  counties 
¿ ¿•now produce the bulk of the milk flow, and 
th e   magic  name  of “Lenawee” chaperons 
Michigan cheese to the open  markets of the 
^world,  that north of the  forty-third parallel 
dairying In this  State will  never amount tp 
much. ‘  To all such, skeptical  people let me 
¿ n y  that the inhabitants of  Northern Michi- 
<gan are there to stay and, now that lumber 
:Rig is on the wane, men  are  turning  to the 
¿¡eliltiyation of the soil,  and  with the best of 
./’«oeeess,  too.  Clover  and  timothy  grow 
« n k  and green  on  thousands  of  acres 
¡'«èvèry northern county where five years ago 
mío señad broke  the  soli ti de  of  the prime-
- vai  forest.  Although  the  growth  of  our 
portion  of  the State  has been  retarded in 
yearsback, ite advancement  is  new  rapid
- •mod its complete development  is  folly  as­
sured.  .  A  good  grass  country  implies 
igood dairy  country.  Hay  and  potatoes go
^together, and we possess the finest hay and

is the fig banana.  The fruit  is  small  and 
somewhat  resembles  in  shape a green fig. 
There are 200 or 300,  however,  on a single 
stem, and when ripe  they  present  a  very 
handsome  appearance.  The _ color  is of a 
very delicate yellow, the skin is  very  thin 
and the flavor is  a suggestion of the fig and 
banana  combined.  Many  engaged  in the 
American fruit trade  have  never  seen this 
fruit.  Occasionally  a  bunch  or  two 
is 
brought here by some one  connected  with 
one of the steamers.  They are produced in 
but very small  quantities,  while  the great, 
care required, in handling them would make 
•them an expensive luxury.  Vet were  they 
once  introduced  the  demand  for 
them 
j  would become large.

Dairy  Notes.

Bloomingdale has seven  cheese  factories 
the 

within a  radius  of  twelve  miles  of 
place.

Albert  Lawton  and  Wm.  Dorgan  have 
formed a copartnership  and  purchased the 
1 cheese  factory  at  Coopersville  of  E.  J. 
Savage.  The nW   owners  will  start  the 
factory  about May 1.

Hon. E. N. Bates’ cheese  factory,  at Mo­
line, began  operations  on  April 18.  At a 
late  meeting  of  the  patrons,  F, G.  Snow 
was elected President  and  stringent  rules 
i governing the care of milk were  adopted.

•ho to whogeorder they shall be paid/This 
should be done  even  on  checks  that  are 
lusde out to “bearer.”  It should be remem­
bered that cheeks are sent in lieu of money, 
end no eadoreement can make  them  better 
than money.  ’ If not endorsed over to some-. 
one, as above'diiecLed, they axe as unsafe to 
transmit as money, as  whoever gets bold of 
them can cash them;  and if they arrive Safe: 
ly at their destination the name of the Rend­
er has to be pinned to them until  cashed at 
bank, 
compilations 
Would occur.
The following, also,  should  not  be over­
looked:  In purchasing a bank draft,  Smith 
should have the same made out to  his  own 
order,  and not to the order of Jones, to wham 
it is to be sent.  He should then endorse the 
draft ou the back:  Payjfco Jones  or  order, 
Smith. 
If  this  draft  is  then  lost in the 
mails, a duplicate can be  procured  without 
trouble;  but if it had been made to the order 
of Jones the finder would have good oppor­
tunities to cash it, and in all  cases  of  fla- 
' grant carelessness the Taw says the loss  has 
to be borne by the  careless one. 
If  a  de­
positor uses ordinary caution iii his business 
with his bank, and his  check  is  forged or 
the amount raised,  the  loss  falls  upon the 
bank.
,  - The holder of a note or  check  may  give 
notice of protest,  either to all  the  previous 
endorsers, or to only one of them;  in  case 
of the la Jer, he must select the last endors­
er, and the last must give notice  to the last 
before him,  and so on.  Bach endorser must 
send  notice  the  same  day  or  following. 
Neither Sunday  nor  legal  holiday is to be 
counted in reckoning the time in  which no­
tice is to be given.  „

Insect Powder.

From the Druggist.

Many  of  th e ' younger  members  of thè 
drug trade will hardly  believe that the arti- 
èie known as insect  powder  was  generally 
known a dozen years ago,  and it will prob­
ably surprise  an  equal  number  when, we 
state that to day it is known to hundreds of 
of  thousands  of  people—certainly  not as 
to its efficacy  in  the  destruction  of ihsects 
and many of those who do  know  of it have 
not taken sufficient interest in the article to 
learn in how many ways  it  can be used for 
the relief and comfort of man and beast.
It occurs to ns that  the  druggists should 
do all they can to bring it  to  the  notice  of 
like  many 
the  people.  Unfortunately, 
other articles of great value, this article has 
been greatly adulterated,  and  thus injured 
its standing  in  the  market.  But  we  are 
firmly  convinced  that  the days of poor in­
sect  powder  are  counted,  simply  because 
the  retail  dealer wilt lose confidence in the 
jobber who sells  him  such  stuff, and a re­
tail dealer who is  of  the  opinion  that  the 
consumer does not know the poor  from the 
good article will also make a great mistake. 
He will simply lose his trade.
Insect powder of late years has been very 
cheap,  but this year the price is just double 
what  it  was  last  year,  and if the reports 
from Dalmatia may  be  relied  upon  it Will 
continue  to . rule  high  durine  the present 
season.

Caution in the Use of Rat Poison.

The druggist is expected to serve the pub­
lic in every possible  manner,  and this, too 
usually, free of charge.  One of  the  latest 
opportunities for his  showing  his  interest 
in the public welfare is  connected with the 
sale of rat poisons. 
It  seems  that  entire 
families have been  poisoned by eating food 
that had been  trailed  over  by rats or mice 
who ref used to eat poison,  but  were  ready 
to run over it and then carry  some  of  the 
poison to food they share with  the  family. 
Poison mixed with meal or flour  is  espec­
ially liable to be scattered  in  this  manner.

Keep  Posted  on  Prices.

It is an  excellent  practice  followed  by 
many druggists who mark  the cost price on 
every  article  in  stock,  but  such  figures 
should not always regulate the selling price, 
The  druggist  should  keep  posted  ou the 
current value of his goods, and govern him 
Self  accordingly.  Unless  this  practice is 
followed,  some  of  his  competitors,  who 
have  purchased  goods  more  recently,  will 
get the advantage of him by-giving custom 
ers tiie advantage of  declines,  and  letting 
them go to his own store  when  goods  ad 
vance.

The Drug Market.

There are few changes  of  importance to 
note this week.  Quinine has declined, both 
P. & W. and  German.  Opium  is  steady, 
with a firmer feeling in  New  York.  Mor­
phia  is  unchanged.  The  manufacturers 
association  advanced  the  price  of  paris 
gremì 1 cent on the  18th.  Juniper  berries 
hate declined.

One Thing at a Time.
The  Am erican  Drug  Clerks' 

very pertinently says:

Journal

When  compounding  prescriptions,  put 
your whole  mind  upon  the work in hand; 
allow nothing  to  distract  your  attention. 
Finish one prescription,  even  to  the label, 
before  beginning  another.  Serious  mis­
takes have  happened  through  interchange 
of labels.  “Be neat,  accurate  aud rapid.”

There  are  immense  deposits  of sulphur 
in Utah  Territory, New Mexico, California 
and Colorado,  but the transportation  facili­
ties arepoor.

■>  When you  sell  an  uncommon  prepara- 
tion  or  strange  drug,  with which you are 
|   not familiar, it is advisable to read up about

Glycerin was a rare chemical  forty years

The  druggists  in  Silicia  who  left their 
business  at  the  outbreak  of cholera have 
been fined and suspended  for a few months 
„ ÿom  the practice of pharmacy.

«The druggists of  Hamburg  are  required 

r law to number  their  perscripfcions  con- 
■secutivifly,  from  one  up,  each day.  The 
object of such a law is not very evident. 
Infusions seem to be much  more popular

f  oouarries..

«perienced druggists make  fatal  mistakes 

•  The fact that some of the oldest and most
dispensing  should stimulate  every phar- 
àiacist  to  exercise  great  care in handling 
^medicines.

j:  A druggist  of -St.  Louis  recently  burned 
: his hands  with  phosphorus and died from 
¡Ahe effects. 
It  is  a  dangerous  element to 
keep in stock, and should  always  be hand­
led with caution.

According  to  the  Drugman,  opium has 
been declared  a  government  monopoly in

I will'state in its behalf that  I  have  had  the 
best results with  nursing mothers  who  were

also increasing the appetite and in every wav

beneficial  effects  on  weak  and  debilitated 
patients  bave been  most satisfactory, espec- 
: ally to those in a stage of recovery after  se­

I write this  thinking you might like tô have 
my opinion  on  its  merits.  I  certainly  shall 
prescribe  it  in future, where the  system re­
quires building up. either from constitutional

ace  innumerable,  and  the  entioe* 
held «at to draw fte  
pockets of the  rural  vis­
ito r are  of-all  sorts  and'sizes.  From the 
grogshop to the  theater, from  the  peanut- 
atand  to 'tho. gamidkig  belt they live and 
thrive  mostly on fhe “blood” sucked,  vam­
pire-like, from  the  innocent  country lamb 
i f t  -is a -remarkable fact that notwithstand­
ing the 
exposures  by  the  daily
papers of these “fakes,” the  average sight- 
, seer and  visitor is continually ‘Tong in” by 
some  snide  scheme,  old  as the  hills  and 
yet  new  to  the  “biter.”  Our  depots  are 
watched by men  whose eyes are as keen as 
the  «yes  of  the  old  pioneer  scouts  who 
«roghirfor Indian tracks  in  days  gone by, 
sad  who  can  tell a “sucker”  the  moment 
Ms red necktie and  glossy broadcloth frock 
coat  leaves  the ear platform.  The variety 
hdlds a peculiar fascination  for  the 
country greenhorn  who  comes to the  cit^, 
and, with the  bagnio*,  shares  the  largest 
m rt of  rim  money  left  in  the  city by our 
rural  guests.  There  is  something  pecu­
liarly  daring  to  the  mind of our  country 
friends in  visiting  the “tabooed” region of 
the  “wine-room.”  The  gay  tin«**  the 
painted faces, the half-naked  forms of  the 
women who inhabit  these  dens of vice are 
pictures that at home  are  held up as exam­
ples  of  honor,  and  yet,  when  the  city 
friend  mentions  the  “elephant,” Kusticus 
eagerly jumps at the hook.

• 

With all the hue and cry of  a few months 
ago, gambling  hells  are in full blast in the 
city,  and  the young  country  lad,  who  at 
home is the “boss” pedro  player  and  who 
has won as much as forty cents  at “penny- 
ante,” muBt needs be steered  against  some 
“faro joint,” in  order  that  when  he  gets 
home again he  may  relate  how  he clipped 
the “tiger’s” claws, or was clipped himself. 
One of the  worst  “fakes’? in  our  midst, 
however,  is  the  “auction  room.”  In  the 
country,  at the county fairs,  these  auction 
fiends y reap  a  rich  harvest,  and,  when 
the season is over, they retire to  the  cities 
and  blossom  out as “store-keepers.”  It is 
a temptation  that  few  can  resist  to  buy 
something  for  nothing, and  yet,  how  men 
who ought to be up  to  the  tricks of  trade 
can fall into such  glaring pitfalls is an ever 
recurring surprise.

A  man  comes  in  from  Hodunk  to  buy 
an overcoat.  He  has  in his pocket money 
enough to pay for  the  garment  and,  pre 
haps, a few  dollars  for  sight  seeing.  As 
h e goes along Canal street, he hears the loud 
voice of the  auctioneer  and,  glancing up, 
mads that a  “Bankrupt  sale—silverware- 
gold watches—must be sold  at  any  price 
Is going on.  H e goes in—not  to  buy—oh 
dear no! too sharp for that,  you  know, just 
to look on.  He finds half a dozen men and 
hoys looking on  while  the  gay and festive 
“sport” on  the  counter  is  relating  funny 
stories and telling what  a benefactor  he 
to mankind in  general  fer  closing out this 
stock  of “solid gold  watches,”  etc.  Fifty 
cents is bid by someone  for  a  solid  gold 
wateh and the  auctioneer in mock indigna 
tion almost falls off the  counter.  Suddenly 
he spies  Rusticus, winks  at  him and says 
«Two dollars, did  you  say?”  and,  before 
Cor friend can  master  his  embarrassment, 
the auctioneer goes  on,  soon  to have some 
“coffee,”  raises the  bid until ten or fifteen 
dollars  are  bid.  Rusticus  examines  the 
watch,  is  told  by  a  man  disguised as 
laboring man  that  “I   bought one just like 
It for  thirty-five  dollars,”  and  before 
knows how it  is  done,  Rusticas  isotit 
the street  again—a  cheap  brass  watch 
his pocket,  and  minus  fifteen  or  twenty 
dollars.

Does  he  kick? 

Sometimes  he  does. 
But what  good  does  it  do?  The auction 
store: is licensed.  The  transaction  was  a 
purely business  one,  and  Rusticus is over-.
■  *wtd, or out-lied,  and hides  his  shame and 
trusts to trading the watch for a horse “out 
home.”

Then we have the “museum of  anatomy” 
for “gentlemen only.”  Rusticus .strolls in— 
admission  only-ten  cents.—sees a lot of im- 
-*  possible wax images, and horrible freaks in 
*  alcohol, sera a tot of  anatomical charts  and 
snakes, is “steered”  into a side  room  and 
\   has his head examined by a “phrenologist,” 
is  charged  five  dollars  for a chart  of his 
V>a,i and a ten «ent  pamphlet, and  leaves, 
plucked again. 

l  :  t >o  they ever  learn?  Not  much, or else 
gj >t  these harpies would  soon  starve out of  ex­
istence.  Sometimes they warn their friends, 
.oftentimes they say nothing  |h d  frequently 
In Revenge ‘ ‘steer” their own friends against 
¿he same “snap.”
