BUSINESS FORMS.

ComMERCIAL TarMs.—The following is the definition of
terms used in commercial reports and transactions between
buyer and seller of stock and grain.

If wheat is selling at $1.10 to $1.15 in June, and the seller
agrees to deliver it to the buyer in July, it is understood that
the person who sells the wheat can deliver it at any time
during the month of July.

To sell short, is contracting to deliver a certain amount of
grain or stock at a fixed price, within a certain length of time,
when the seller has not the stock on hand. The person who
sells “short” finds it to his interest to depress the market, in
order that he may buy and fill his contract at a profit. The
‘ shorts”? are termed ‘‘ bears.’’

Buying long is contracting to purchase grain or shares of
stock at a fixed price, deliverable within a time named, ex-
pecting to make a profit by the rise of prices. The “longs”
are termed ‘‘ bulls.”’

Promissory Nores.—A promissory note Is an agreement
in writing to pay acertain’‘amount of money at a time therein
named, or on demand, or at sight to the person therein
designated, or his order or assigns, or to the bearer. ‘The
person making the note is called the drawer or maker.

A note is void when founded upon fraud. Thus, a note
obtained from a person when intoxicated, or obtained for any
reason which is not legal, cannot be collected. If, however,
the note is transferred to an innocent holder, the claim of
fraud or no value received wiil not avail. The party holding
the note can collect if the maker is able to pay it.

A note given upon Sunday is void in some States.DETROIE- BUSINESS GUIDE. 23

riage is valid, without any other ceremony being performed.

followed by a mutual assumption of marical rights and obliga-
tions, is sufficient.

Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ver-
mont (both parties, as husband and wife), West Virginia and
Wisconsin one year; Florida, Indiana, Maryland, North
Carolina and ‘Tennessee, two years; Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey (for desertion), three years.

Divorce, Causes For.—The violation of the marriage vow
is cause for absolute divorce in all the States, excepting South
Carolina, which has no divorce law.

Wilful desertion, one year, in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado,
Dakota, Fiorida, Idaho,” Kansas, Kentucky, Montana,
Nevada, Rhode Island, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

In Georgia an absolute divorce is granted only after the
occurrent verdict of two juries, at different terms of the

cause, adultery. In South Carolina there is no divorce law.

All of the causes above enumerated are for absolute or full
divorce.

re-marriage by divorced persons in Connecticut, Kentucky,
Illinois and Minnesota. Hither party may re-marry, but de-
fendant must wait two years and obtain permission from the

restrain the guilty party from re-marrying in Virginia.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE LAWS—ConrTINUED.
the plaintiff may re-marry, but the defendant cannot do so
during the plaintiff’s life-time, unless the decree be modified
or proof that five years have elapsed and that complainant
has married again and defendant’s conduct has been uniformly
good. Any violation of this is punished as bigamy, even
though the other party has been married.

The courts of every State, and particularly of New York,
are very jealous of their jurisdiciion, and generally refuse to
recognize as valid a divorce against one of the citizens of the
State by the court of another State, un ess both parties to
the suit were subject at the time to the jurisdiction of the
court granting the divorce.

Kansas courts grant divorces for the reason that the
applicant’s husband. or wife has obtained a divorce in
another State, and the applicant has been forbidden to re-
marry, he may go to Kansas and obtain a divorce on that
ground. If his wife contests the case, or can be served with
the papers in Kansas, so that she is brought under the
jurisdiction of the Kansas court, the courts of New York
must recognize the divorce as valid. and cannot punish the
husband for re-marrying in New York.

New York permits polygamy and polyandry in certain
cases. Desertion for five years, without knowledge that the
deserter is living, permits the one deserted {o marry again;
and the second marriage is valid, though the deserter returns.
The second marriage may be declared void, but only from the
date of the decree, by a court of competent jurisdiction, upon
proper petition; but if no such petition is made, and all
parties are satisfied, one husband may live in lawful wedlock

with two or more wives, or one wife with two or more hus-
bands. The children will inherit, and both wives will be
entitled to dower.it BUSINESS GUIDE.

One pound of coal, according to recent Franklin Institute
tests, will yield an amount of light averaging 150 candles
with the electric arc light (about 60 per cent. of this if glass
shad 2s are used), 20 candles with incandescent lamps, and 14
to 17 candles with glass. In this estimate it is assumed that
steam coal is burned under a good boiler for the electric
lights, and that the gas is obtained from a bituminous coal.DETROIT. BUSINESS GUIDE. 33

REMOVING RUST FROM IRON.

It frequently causes much trouble, indeed, in some cases
defies all efforts, to free iron from ingrained rust, but accord-
ing toa German paper the thorough cleansing of it may be
easily effected by immersing the article in a nearly saturated
solution of chloride of tin, even if much eaten into. The
duration of the immersion a depend upon the thicker or
thinner film of rust; in most cases, however, twelve to
twenty-four hours will suffice. The solution of chloride of
tin must not contain too great an excess of acid, otherwise it
will attack the iron itself. After the articles have been re-
moved from the bath they should first be washed in water
and then with ammonia, and be dried as quickly as possible.
Articles treated in this manner assume the appearance of
dead silver.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE.

The figures in the above table, from 1875 to 1885, inclu-
sive, are taken from the Chronicle Fire Tables.

The waste by fires in the United States during the past
three years have averaged $100,000,000 annually (an amount
equal to double the annual interest charge on the national
debt). To this must be added the expense of maintaining
fire-extinguishing departments and appliances and of con-
ducting insurance companies, to obtain an estimate of what
the people pay out on account of fire.

T) e principle reported causes of fires, and the number of
fires from each cause, in 1885, were as follows: Incendiarism
1,731; defective flues, 829; sparks, 376; matches, 374; lamp
explosions, 336; stoves, 336; lightening, 286; spontaneous
combustion, 205; lamp and lantern accidents, 173; gas jets,
169; carelessness, 119; furnaces, 117; cigar stubs and tobacco
pipes, 111; locomotive sparks, 87; fireworks, 81. There were
5,905 fires classed as ‘‘ Not reported,’ and 1,756 as ‘“Un-
known.”DETRO!T BUSINESS GUIDE. 35

TREATMENT OF CANARIES.

The causes of most diseases are colds, which are caused by
either having the bird-in a draft of air or keeping it too warm
in the day and cool at night. If the cold is not checked at
once it leads to asthma; and is followed by other diseases. The
best remedy for a cold, in addition to their regular food, 1s a
pacte made from a hard boiled egg with pulverized cracker;
nix thoroughly, using no water, the moisture of the egg 1s
sufficient.

Asruma.—Guive plantain and rape seed moistened with
water, as the principal food. If you hear a squeaking noise,
especially at night, he probably has the asthma. Give equah
parts of Dr. Gurning’s bird tonic for his drink.

BRokEN Lrmps.—Nature will perform the only cure. Re-
move all the perches and put soft substance in the bottom of
the cage, put the food and water within his reach and not let
him get excited, and he is likely to come out all right.

DraRRHGA—TO CurE.—A rusty nail put into their drink-
ing water isa great relief, Also common chalk placed be-
tween the wires of the cages or scraped and put with the sand
in the bottom, or take two drops of warm castor oil, and arter
a few hours put a small bit of gum arabic and about twenty
drops of tincture of opium in the water.

Diseases of birds are often caused by improper care, dirty
cages, not supplied with gravel and gravel paper, or the seeds
are of poor quality, or they are not given regular baths, often
left in cold drafts of air or are fed on trash like candy, figs,
raising, etc. You can give them a little green stuff like sweet
apple once in two or three weeks.

EPILEpsy.—There is no sure cure, but cutting the hind
claw sufficient to draw blood, and holding the foot in warm
water for a short time cures them,DETROFY’ -BUSINESS GUIDE.- ’ 37

TREATMENT OF CANARIES—ConTINUED.

For CosrivenEss.—Sweet apple, chickweed, or other green
food will have the desired effect.

Licze.—Lice keeps the bird in a constant state of restless-
ness day and night. It should bathe often; the cage should
be kept clean; the gravel paper frequently changed and
sprinkled with a little Persian insect powder; blow the pow-
der all through the feathers; cover the cage with a white
cloth, and in the morning the parasites will be found on it.

Lone CLiaws.—When they get very lony and require cut-
ting, hold the bird’s claws in front of a strong light and cut
off one sixteenth of an inch from the red vein.

 

Loss oF APPETITE.—Give a little hemp and all the millet
seed the bird will eat, and change his location to a cheerful
place.

Lost Vorcr.—This is caused by over singing. Dissolve
rock candy in the drinking water, and put red pepper into an
egg and cracker paste. ‘This is an effective remedy.

Sore Frer.—Be careful and use perches from three-eighths
to one-half an inch in diameter; keep plenty of gravel by him
and he will seldom have that trouble. The best cure isa
weak solution of warm water and tincture of arnica and bathe
sore limbs in th m.

WHEN Movuttinc—Keep in a warm place out of drafts,
feed soft paste food like boilkd ezg and pulverzied cracker
mixed; should he not shed his tail feathers, pull them out one
at a time.

YELLOW GALu.—It apy ears about the head and eyes, and
often there is a small ulcer, which should be cut carefully

with a small penknife and annoint with chamber lye; give the
bird fresh food.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE. 39

EXECUTION may issue at once in Circuit Courts, and with-
in five days from rendition of judgment in Justice’s Courts.
Executions are returnable in sixty days. Stay in Justice’s
Courts may be obtained by giving secured bond for payment
of judgment, costs and interest; the time allowed being
four months, when the judgment does not exceed $50, and
six months when above that sum. Lands sold under execu-
tion may be redeemed within one year, by payment of the
purchase money, with interest borne by the judgment.
Executions may issue at any time during the life of a judg-
ment. |

on return day, time of service, term of court, etc. In Jus-
tice’s Courts, if defendant makes default, judgment can be
obtained on return day of process.

LIMITATIONS OF Suits. Judgments of courts of record
exist ten years; Justice’s Courts, six years. On accounts
and notes and other simple contracts actions can not be
brought unless within six years from the time the action ac-
crued, as also all civil actions for injuries to person or prop-
erty. On sealed instruments and judgments, ten years.
Revivor: Part payment, or promise in writing to pay.
Proceedings to foreclose mortgage must be commenced

a married woman’s contract to pay or to become lable for or
secure payment of the debt of her husband or other person,

NOT A NEW DISCOVERY.

The origin of natural gas is not so recent as many imagine.
In the diary of an old gentleman named Wickersham it is re-
lated that in 1831, when Barcelona, on Lake Erie, was a port
of considerable importance, the 1 ghthouse lamps at that place
were fed with natural gas taken from a spring three-quarters
of a mile away. This spring was « marshy place, several
acres in extent, and, the water oversprea ling, it was con-
stantly bubbling with gas. When these bubbles broke into
the atmosphere they would flash as if a light was held near.
A tower twenty feet across was built over the spot where the
bubbles broke in greatest number, and from this rude reser-
voir or gasometer the gas was conveyed in wooden pipes to
the lighthouse, which was fifty feet in height. Hnough gas
was collected during the day to supply the burner of the
lighthouse during the night. From wells since drilled, West-
field ig supplied with gas sufficient for illuminating purposes,
but not in quantity adequate for fuel.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE.

While steamboats, (river and sound) have improved
greatly in general appearance and size, very little improve-
ment has been made over the time made some thirty years
ago by the North River steamer South America, which made
the trip from New York to Albany in about eight hours.
This time was lowered some minutes by the Alida and Daniel
Drew.

The day boat Albany running between New York and
Albany, has the reputation to-day of being the fastest boat
in the world ; and certainly her record as to uniformity of
time is unexcelled, it being reported that she never varied 10
minutes from her schedule time in 120 trips. It is said that
the public would be astounded did they know of the speed
necessary to make up time between landings, and actually
made. ‘The Mary Powell, another Hudson River steamer, is
famous for her swiftness and regularity, and many believe
her to equal the Albany. The Kaaterskill is another fast
boat, making frequently, it is said, 25 miles per hour,

Under favorable circumstances, the Powell made 28 miles
per hour for a short distance. On the sound it never hase 5 3 5

steamers that leave and arrive at the port of New York in a
single day. In addition to the ‘‘great ocean ferry” from
here to Europe on which there are nearly a dozen different
lines running, there are steamship lines to South and Central
America, the West Indies and the Windward Islands, and to
Florida, New Orleans, Texas, Mexico, Cuba, Savannah and
other domestic and foreign ports. ‘The stranger will find no
small degree of pleasure in visiting one of the steamers of the
great ocean lines on sailing day. The hours of sailing vary
with the tides, and can be learned from the advertising
columns of the daily papers.

EL KANTARA.

Kl Kantara, of Kantara el Ehazne, which may be inter-
preted as the Bridge of Treasure, is situated on the Suez
Canal, and was formerly the natural bridge between Africa
and Asia. ‘The bridge of El Kanara, which was removed by
the Suez Canal Company, has been replaced by a line of ferry
boats; and here also are stationed the dredging-machines
which keep the canal clear for the passage of the steamers.
During the late troubles in Egypt, the possession of this place
under Capt. Fairfax, was of the greatest importance. Now
that the war is over, the scenery about El Kantara resumes
its former monotonous aspect, enlivened only by the occa-
sional arrival of caravan from Africa.DETROIT BUSINESS: GUIDE:

HOW TO TELL HER AGE.

There is a good deal of amusement in the following table
of magical figures. It will enable you to tell how old the
young ladies are. Just hand this table to a young lady, and
request her to tell you in which column or columns her age 1s
contained, and add together the figures at the top of the col-
umns in which her age is found, and you have the great se-
cret. Thus, suppose her age to be 17, you will find that
number in the first and fifth columns; add the first figures of
these two columns. Here is the magic table:

During the last thirteen years the United States has doubled
its railroad mileage), while in twelve years in tripled the iron
roadways of 1867. That record is nothing more than a fair
evidence of American growth and progress generally. We
beat the world in locomotive building, not only in the num-
ber turned out from our shops, but also in the running and
wearing character of the machines. As an evidence of this
it may be stated that we not only supply the larze number of
engines required for the constantly increasing extent of our
railroads, but we furnish a large number of locomotives for
foreign countries. ‘There were fifty-four locomotives exported
from the United States during the eleven months ending with
May 31, 1887, compared with fifty-one during the correspond-
ing period of the preceding fiscal year. During the same
period car wheels were exported to the number of 12,248 and
9 379 respectively.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE.

 

RAILWAYS FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Fifty years ago third-class passengers were carried in open
wagons or trucks, fitted with wooden or uncushioned seats,
and the carriages were attached to the good trains. ‘The
second-class carriages were in regard to comfort, but little, if
anything, better than the thirds. They were open through-
out the sides. ‘There was no glazing, and the partitions above
the Jevel of the doors, dividing the carriages into six compart-
ments, each made to seat twelve persons, were formed of laths
interlaced, and admitting free currents of wind and air, to
the discomfiture of the unfortunate travelers. The passen-
gers for the various intermediate stations were put into inter-
mediate compartments and the doors locked. The clear
length of each compartment on some lines was only 8 feet 74
inches; and the width 4 feet 44 inches, each seat being fifteen
inches in width. Stout passengers had some difficulty in
squeezing through the doors, which were only eighteen inches
wide. The first glazed and enclosed second-class carriage
that ever ran upon a railway was in the first express train than
that ran between London and Exeter. The journey was
made in five hours, and the performance was regarded as one
of the marvels of railway traveling. ‘To-day there are in the
United Kingdom about 54,000 carriages, many of which are
fitted with the luxuries and beauties of a drawing room, and
even the third-class are more comfortable than the first of
fifty years ago.

Not only are most of the carriages comfortable and con-
veniently arranged, but the safety of those who use them is
increased by appliances which were not even dreamt of by
our railway forefathers. Of the total railway carriages 91
per cent. are now fitted with continuous brakes, while 94 perDETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE.

cent. of the double line of the country is worked on the abso-
lute block system.

The method of issuing tickets fifty years ago was very dif-
ferent from that now in use. From the earliest times of rail-
way traveling, the date was required to be written on the
ticket, as well as the amount of fare and the time of the train
by which the passenger was to start. These particulars had
to be entered on a counterfoil in the book of tickets.

The arrangements for luggage were delightfully simple.
‘‘Each passenger’s luggage will,” said the time-bill, ‘‘as far
as practicable, be placed on the roof of the coach in which
he has taken his place; carpet bags and small luggage may be
placed underneath the seat opposite to that which the owner
occupies.’? A capital arrangement for securing punctual at-
tendance was the announcement that—

‘‘Passengers intending to ao the trains at any of the stop-
ping places are directed to be in good time, as the train will
leave each station as soon as ready without reference to the
time stated in the tables, the main object being to perform
the whole journey as expeditiously as possible. Passengers
will be booked only conditionally upon their being room on
the arrival of the trains, and they will have the preference
of seats in the order in which they are booked. No persons
are booked after the arrival of the train. All persons are re-
quested to get into and alight from the coaches invariably on

the left side, as the only certain means of preventing acci-
dents from trains passing in opposite directions.”’

What would modern travelers say to the following notice:

“No smoking is allowed in the station houses, or in any of
the coaches, even with the consent of the passengers. <A sub-
stantial breakfast may be had at the station house at Bir-
mingham by parties going by the early train, but no person is
allowed to sell liquors or eatables of any kind upon the line.3 ‘ 5

The company earnestly hope that the public will co-operate
with them in enforcing this regulation, as it will be the means
of removing a cause of delay and will greatly diminish the
chance of accident.”

The engines in use on the Stockton & Darlington line in
1837 weighed abont 12 tons, and had 143-inch cylinders and
a piston stroke of 16 inches. The three pairs of wheels were
each 4 feet in diameter, and the pressure of steam varied
from 36 lbs. to 60 lbs. Many of the engines had only four
wheels, and it was considered a great step in advance when
six-wheel engines were placed on the railways, the argument
in their favor being that if by accident one of the six wheels
broke the engine would still remain erect, while if one of the
four collapsed the result would be the downfall of the loco-
motive. On the Birmingham & Derby Junction line the en-
gines weighed 10 tons 10 cwts., and the two driving wheels
were 5 feet 6 inches, and the four carrying wheels 3 feet 6
inches each.

In contrast to the above is the famous ‘‘Marchioness of
Stafford’? engine exhibited by the London & Northwestern
Company at the Inventions Exhibition in 1885, and adopted
as the type of the company’s express locomotives. With ten-
der, this type of engine weighs 53 tons 11 cwt., and the cargo
of coal five tons. The driving wheels are 6 feet 6 inches in
diameter, and the engine is worked at a pressure of 175 lbs.
to the square inch. ‘The greatest novelty in these engines is,
however, the adoption of the ‘‘compound’’ system, by which
the expansive power of the steam is fully utilized.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE, 8 |

The oldest Scandinavian laws punished the murder of an
humble maiden more than that of a chief. The weaker sex
was protected in innumerable ways; and even as late as the
twelfth century a simple kiss forced upon a maiden was pun-
ished by a fine or exile.

The first French postage stamps were issued in 1849, dur-
ing the brief days of the Republic which preceded the Second
Empire. Turkey was the last nation in Europe to adopt pos-
tage stamps and cheap postage. She did so in 1863.

COUNTERFEIT JEWELS.

Artificial precious stones have become an important article
of trade. The products of some of the shops would almost
deceive an expert, but the test of hardness is still infallible.
The beautiful ‘‘ French paste,” from which imitation dia-
monds are made, is a kind of glass with a mixture of oxide
of lead. The more of the latter the brighter the stone, but
also the softer, and this is a serious defect. The imitation
stones are now so perfectly made, and are so satisfactory to
those who are not very particular, that their influence begins
1o be felt in the market for real stones. By careful selection
of the iugredients, and skill and manipulation, the luster,
color, fire and water of the choicest stones are to the eyes of
layman fully reproduced. There are a few delicacies of color
that cannot be perfectly given, for they depend on some un-
discoverable peculiarities of molecular arrangement, and not
on chemical composition; but the persons who buy the stones
know nothing of that. Yet Sidot, the French chemist, has
nearly reproduced these peculiarities, including the dichroism
of the sapphire, with a composition with which the base 1s
phosphate of lime. Two other French chemists, Fremy and
Fell, have produced rubies and sapphires having the same
composition with the genuine stones and nearly equal hard-

ness.

THE AMERICAN DOLLAR,

Our word dollar dates back to 1785, when a resolution was
passed by Congress which provided that it should be the unit
of money of the United States. Another resolution was
passed August 5, 1785, providing that it should weigh 375.64
grains of pure silver. The mint was established in 1792, and
was then required to coin silver dollars containing 371.25
grains of pure silver. This was due to the influence of Alex-
ander Hamilton. No dollars were coined until 1794, and
then irregularly. They are now worth $100 each. In 1/94
the coinage of regular dollars began. Our coin was an adap-
tion of the Spanish milled dollar, a coin very popular where-
ever the Spaniards traveled. The coin was called ‘plastre.
meaning a flat piece of metal; it is synonymous with plaster.
It is supposed that the Spaniards took the German <<fiieh eat
and called it by the name of ‘‘piaster,” The word dollar is
entered in Bailey’s English dictionery of 1745, and was used
repeatedly by Shakespeare at the beginning of the seventeenth
century, especially in ‘‘Macbeth,” ii., 2, 62: “Tull she dis-
bursed * * * $10,000 to our general use.” (See also the
“Tempest,” u, 1, 17.) The question where Shakespeare
found the v ord dollar is answered by the fact that the Han-
seatic towns maintained a great establishment called the Steel
Yardin London. The Steel Yard merchants were mostly
North Germans, who would call the German thaler as 1t was
spelt, ‘“dah-ler.” ‘he same merchants occasioned the word
sterling, an abbreviation of the word “esterling.’’ As the
Hanseatic trade was particularly brisk on the Baltic and in
Russia, the standard coins of the Hanse merchants were
called esterlings, and sterling came to mean something genu-
ine and desirable. The word dollar is the English for thaler,
the first of which was coined about 1486, and corresponds
quite closely to our present American silver dollars.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE.

The Japanese dentist does not frighten his patient with an
array of steel instruments. All of his operations in tooth-
drawing are performed by the thumb and forefinger of one
hand, The skill necessary to do this is only acquired after
long practice, but once it is obtained, the operator is able to
extract a half-dozen teeth in atout thirty seconds, without
once removing his fiegers from the patient’s mouth. ‘The
dentist’s education commences with the pulling out of pegs
which have been pressed into soft wood; it ends with the
drawing of hard pegs which have beeu driven into an oak
plank with a mallet. A writer in the Union Medical says

that no human jaw can resist the delicate but powerful manip-
ulation of the Japanese dentist.

WHERE BURNS WAS BORN.

Five miles from Kilmarnock is Irvine, where Burns made
his unfortunate start as a flax dresser, and, worst still, con-
tracted, in the opinions of his biographers, very many bad
habits; and nine miles in another direction is Ayr, where in
the summer time omnibuses run regularly to and from the
station to the cottage in which the poet was born, the monu-
ment erected to his memory, the Auld Kirk of Alloway, and
the Auld Brig o’ Doon—the three latter being situated all
close to each other, and about a mile to the south of the
former. The straggling High street reached, one soon finds
the inn on the right, in which Tam and his dear companion
Souter Johnny are said to have got ‘‘ fou together.’’ An oil
painting above the door represents the hero reluctantly bid-
ding good-by to his companions of the evening, in

‘‘That hour, o’ night’s black arch the key-stone,
That dreary hour he mounts his beast in:”’

and gives a fair idea in a rude, country way, of the start of
the memorable ride. ‘The house is a plain, substantial Scotch
building two stories high, with a thatched roof, and remains
very much what it must have been when, as the story goes,
Dugald Graeme of Shanter and John Davidson, the drunken
shoemaker, the originals of the poem, used to go there on
market days. ‘The room up-stairs in which Tam was “ glo-
rious” is still pointed out; but the chairs of the Carrick
farmer and Souter Johnny have been recently purchased by
the Ayr Burns Club, and placed in the memorial room in the
cottage where he was born at Alloway. The original drink-

EXTRAORDINARY SHOWERS.
From the beginning of the present century up to 1830, some
| very extraordinary showers have been recorded. In the fifth
month of the year 1803 the kingdom of Leon, in Spain, was
visited with a shower of peas. The botanist, Cavanilla,
found they belonged to the leguminous family, but he was
unable to determine their class. As an experiment, some of
the seeds were sown in the botanic gardens at Madrid, but
without result.

Showers of blood, milk, honey, wool, and even pieces of
flesh have been recorded by Pliny, Livy, Solinus, and Julius
Obsequins.

During the siege of Genca, in 1774, red rain fell in the
suburb of San Pietro d’Arena. It was found that the wind
had carried upwards a quantity of red earth.

A German journal mentions a rain of ‘‘blood” which fell on
the 17th of May, 1810. It lasted a quarter of an hour.
Chemical tests proved this rain to be colored by some vege-
table matter. In the north of Europe rains of a reddish yel-
low, due to the bloom of the fir filling the air, constantly
occur.

An old writer states that showers of mice fell in Lapland
and Finmark. In 1804 a shower of frogs was recorded. Dur-
ing a snowstorm in Pakroff, Russia, in 1827, a great number
of black insects, an inch long, fell.

Showers of rats lave been described in the old magazines.

In 1666, at Stanstead, in Kent, a shower of fishes fell. An
English officer stated that in 1839 he saw fishes falling, and
that thousands of them were picked up from the ground.

A shower of fish fe'l in Ross-shire in 1828, and in Italy in
1830, and more recently at Wick. ‘The fall of fish was prob-
ably due to a waterspout licking up the fish, which were
driven inland by the wind; and the rats, when out in a body,
may have been caught up much the same way by a whirlwind.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE:

RAPID WORK.

Some idea of the extent to which mechanical ingenuity
and efficiency have advanced may be had from the following
statement: ‘“‘Ic is now possible to construct a complete
sewing machine in a minute, or sixty in one hour; a reaper
‘n fifteen minutes, or less; three hundred watches in a day,
complete in all their appointments. More important than
this, even is the fact that it is possible to construct a locomo-
tive in a day. From the plans of a draughtsman to the exe-
cution of them by the workmen, every wheel, lever, valve and
rod may be constructed from the metal to she engine intact.
Every rivet may be driven in the boiler, every tube in the
tube sheets, and from the smokestack to the ashpan, a loco-
motive may be turned out in a working day, completely
equipped, ready to do the work of a hundred horses.” With-
out such machinery and the skilled labor to operate them,
the civilized world of to-day would be an impossibility.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE.

THE NUMBER THREE.

When the world was created, we find land, water and sky;
sun, moon and stars. Noah had but three sons; Jonah was
three days in the whale’s belly; our Saviour passed three
days inthe tomb. Peter denied our Saviour thrice. There
were three patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Abraham
entertained three angels. Samuel was called three times.
‘Simon, lovest thou me?’’ was repeated three times. Dan-
jel was thrown into a den with three lions for praying three
times a day. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were rescued
from the flames of the oven. The Ten Commandments were
delivered on the third day. Job had three friends. St. Paul
speaks of faith, hope and charity, these three. Those famous
dreams of the baker and butler were to come to pass in three
days; and Elijah prostrated himself three times on the body
of the dead child. Samson delivered Delilah three times be-
fore she discovered the source of his strength. The sacred
letters on the cross are ] H S; so also, the Roman motto was
compos2d of three words, ‘‘ Jn Hoc Signo.” There are three
conditions for man—the earth, heaven and heli; there is also
the holy Trinity. In mythology there were three Graces;
Cerbesus, with his three heads; Neptune, holding his three-
toothed staff; the Oracle of Delphi, cherished with veneration
the tripod; and the Nine Muses sprang from three. In na-
ture we have male, female and offspring; morning, noon and
night. Trees group their leaves in threes; there is the three-
leaved clover. We have fish, flesh and fowl. It is a common
phrase that ‘three is a lucky number.”

OUR RIGHT HAND.

 

 

The habit of using the right hand in preference to the left
among those people whose monuments date from the remotest
antiquity, seems to be a universal fact that this is accounted
for by the anatomical mechanism of the human body. It 1s
known that the right lung, liver lobe, and limbs exceed in
size those on the left side, involving, of course, a greater
amount of tissue structure and a larger supply of nerves and
blood vessels for their nutrition. A person walking in a dense
fog figures with his feet the segment of a circle, and if he 1s
right-handed, he takes a direction to the left, because the
right leg naturally takes a longer stride. The left side of
the brain is larger than the right, and as it appears that the
power of verbal articulation in the right-handed if confined
to a certain convolution on the left side, the conclusion is
arrived at that, in speaking and thinking the left side of the
brain is used, this being the result of dextral education. ‘The
opinion has been expressed by some medical writers that am-
nesia and aphasia in right-handed men indicate disease of the
left brain, and that hammer-palsy and writer’s cramp show
the results of excessive working of the left brain.

a chance to marry. Finally just as the opportunity seemed
about to come the girl died. The man never thought it worth

USEFUL HINTS.

A good disinfectant is made by dissolving half a drachm of
nitrate of lead in a pint of boiling water, then dissolve two
drachms of common salt in eight or ten quarts of water.
When both are thoroughly dissolved, pour the two mixtures
together, and when the sediment has settled, you have a pail
of clear fluid, which is the saturated solution of the chloride
of lead. A cloth saturated with the liquid and hung up in a
room will at once sweeten a fetid atmosphere ; poured down
a sink, water closet, or drain, or on any decaying or offensive
subject, it will produce the same result. ‘he nitrate of lead
is very cheap, and a pound of it would make several barrels

of the disinfectant.

WHEN WOMEN DANCED.

It is only within the past five hundred years that women
have danced publicly with men. 1n Italy, however, as early
as the thirteenth century promiscuous dancing was tolerated,
although the Church sternly condemned the innovation as
immodest and unbecoming, and it was not at all general.
When Henry III. of France visited Venice, early in the six-
tecuth century, there was a grand ball given in his honor, to
which all the noble ladies of Venice were invited. Nothing
could exceed the splendor of their dresses and the incredible
number of enormous pearls which they wore; but, whereas
three hundred of them danced in the presence of the King,
not one of them was assisted by a male partner. However,
Sanudo, in that part of his diary in which he gives minute
details of the progress of Lucretia Borgia from Rome to
Ferrara on the oceasion of her marriage with her fourth hus-
band, informs us that she was particularly fond of dancing
the salta and the bosula. Thus he tells us on one occasion:
“My lady Lucretia, the bride, being dressed in the French
style, in crimson satin, striped with fish-scales of beaten gold,
each stripe being two fingers in breadth, and wearing on her
head a coil of pearls of great price, danced the salta with the
French Ambassador until it was time to attend the perform-
ance of the ‘‘Miles Gloriosus’ of Plautus.” The salta is the
original of our waltz, and was first introduced into the British
Isles on the occasion of the marriage of Magdalene de Valois

with James V. of Scotland, and gave terrible scandal to the
pious folk of Edinburgh. The pretty young queen died a few
days later, and her demise, which was really the result of
ns umption, was attributed to a celestial punishment upon
her for the iniquity of having gyrated in this ‘‘naughty
French dence.” The salta was very popular at the Court of
Henry VIII, and was quite as fashionable then as the walz,
with which it is identical, at the present time.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE.

A JAPANESE THEATRE.

There are two tiers of boxes, the lower provided with slid-
ing paper doors, forming small rooms. The pit is divided by
low cross-bars into squares, each capable of holding four per-
sons comfortably. A Japanese family engages a compartment
for the day, in a position suited to the purse—in the middle
of the house if well to do, or to the back, according to the
scarcity of coim—and, having deposited clogs in the yestiare,
take up a position with cusions, kettle, tea things and smok-
ing tray, and never move till midnight, except to pay visits
to friends. A Japanese performance commences at early dawn
and lasts a dozen hours. The stage occupies the end of the
building from wall to wall. Oddly, the actors do not make
their appearance from the side or back (there are no wings),
but strut along a norrow platform over the heads of the pit,
by means of just such a boarded footway as is used by Huro-
pean conjurers. The performers stand dressed in an open
place off the lobby, where all who come in may see them; and
when they hear their cue they push through loiterers and
march to the stage along the platform, acting as they go. In-
deed, important portions of a scene which demand a rapid
exit are frequently gone through upon this narrow footway,
and not on the stage at all; and the effect is apt to be uninten-
tionally comic, when a small Tarquin is seen staggering along
under a full-blown Lucrece, while the stationary chorus, from

their distant corner, are entreating him to respect her virtue.

A PUNCTUATION PUZZLE.

The following artic'e forcibly illustrates the necessity of
punctuation. It can be read in two ways, describing a very
bad man, or a very good man, the result depending upon the
manner in which it is punctuated. It is very well worth the
study of all:

 

 

‘He ig an old man and experienced man in vice and wick-
edness he is never found in opposing the works of iniquity he
takes delight in the downfall of his neighbors he never re-
joices in the prosperity of his fellow-creatures he is always
ready to assist in destroying the perce of society he takes no
pleasure in serving the Lord he is uncommonly diligent in
sowing discord among his friends and acquaintances he takes
no pride in laboring to promote the cause of Christianity he
has not been negligent in endeavoring to stigmatize all pub-
lic teachers he makes no effort to subdue his evil passious he
strives hard to build up satan’s kingdom he lends no aid to

utes largely to the devil he will never go to heaven he must
go where he will receive the just recompense of reward.’’

In England, marriages can be solemnized only between the

LIFE ON THE MOON.

There is reason for thinking that the moon is not absolutely
airless, and, while it has no visible bodies of water, its soil
may, after all, not be entirely arid and desiccated. There are
observations which hint at visible changes in certain spots
that could possibly be caused by vegitation, and there are
othe1 observations whicn suggest the display of electric lum-
inosity in a ratified atmosphere covering the moon. To
declare that no possible form of life can exist under the con-
ditions prevailing upon the lunar surface would be saying too
much, for human intelligence can not set bounds to creative
power. Yet within the limits of life, such as we know them,
it is probably safe to assert that the moon is a dead and
deserted world. In other words, if a race of beings resem-
bling ourselves, or resembling any of our contemporaries in
terrestial life, ever existed upon the moon, they long since
have perished. ‘That such beings may have existed 1s possi-
ble, particularly if it is true, as generally believed, that the
moon once had a comparatively dense atmosphere and water
upon its surface, which have now, in the process of cooling of
the lunar globe, been withdrawn into its interior. It cer-
tainly does not detract from the interest with which we study
the rugged and beautiful scenery of the moon, to reflect that
if we could visie those ancient sea bottoms, we might, per-
chance, find there some remains or mementos of a race that
flourished, and perhaps was all gathered again to its fathers,
before man appeared upon the earth.

HOW MUCH A MAN EATS.

It has been calculated that on the average, each man who
attains the age of three score and ten, consumes during the
course of his life twenty wagon loads of food, solid and
iquid. At four tons to the wagon, this would correspond to
an aveaage of about a hundred ounces of food per day, or say
some one hundred and twenty ounces per day during adult
life, and about eighty ounces during infancy and youth. Most
modern doctors agree in regarding one hundred and twenty
ounces of food per day, corresponding to five or six half pints
of liquid food, seven or eight pounds of solid food, as in ex-
cess of the real daily requirements of a healthy man or
woman.

Yet probably most of us take more than this, in one way or
another, during the day. Dr. Lankester, from an extensive
analysis of the dietary of soldiers, sailors, prisoners and the
better paid classes of artisans and professional men in Lon-
don, found the average daily quantity of solid and lquid
food to be one hundred and forty-three ounces. Doubtless
many take much less, but unquestionably many take much
more than this. When some one mentioned before Sydney
Smith the twenty wagon loads of food calculated for each
man’s allowance he turned to Lord Durham, who, like him-
self, was corpulent (and not without sufficient reason), with
the quaint remark: ‘‘I think our wagons, Durham, must
be four-horsed ones.” There are members of the London
corporation, to seek no further, whose wagons must be six-
horsed ones, and well loaded at that.

TIPPLES OF CELEBRATED MEN.

Perhaps one might theorize about character from favorite
drinks as much as from ‘‘ pulmistry” or handwriting. Na-
poleon had the heart, if ever a man had, of a despot. He
drank strong black coffee, the Sultan’s drink, and Chamber-
tine, the rich wine of princes. Cromwell and George of Clar-
ence were both ambitious, with very opposite endings. Both
loved Malmsey, which, tradition asserts, drowned the latter
in the Jewel tower. Richelieu, the cold crafty calculating
cardinal, loved the thin red wine of Medoc. The magnificent
and high-spirited monarch, Henry VIII., and Francis of
France, loved what Falstaff held to be so inspiriting—name-
ly, ‘a good sherris sack.” Edmund Kean’s erratic magnifi-
cent genius and mad career were nourished on brandy, which
was, indeed, life to the unhappy tragedian. Dogan tells us
that after his return, utterly broken, in 1827, only constant
glasses of ‘‘ brown brandy, very hot and very strong,” ena-
bled him to get through his scenes. Addison’s polished equa-
ble essays were written on moderate potations of excellent
claret. Charles Lamb, most perennially charming of essay-
ists, was a thorough Londoner in heart, and his favorite
drink was genuine London porter. Pitt and Eldon, who rep-
resented the older order of things, both loved port, of which
the chancellor could drink three bottles.

DETROIT.

Detroit, with a population of 220,000, is the oldest city of
the west, and the commercial metropolis of Michigan. It 1s
essentially a manufacturing city, and its peculiar advantages
will eventually render it the Birmingham of the Northwest.
It challenges comparison as being the handsomest city in the
Union. In addition to its acquired beauties, 1t 1s extrava-
gantly favored by Nature. ‘The dwellings are mostly de-
tacked, with plenty of intervening space, the broad streets
and prevalence of shade trees give the place a village air, and
contribute much to its attractiveness for residences. AS a
healthful city it is without a peer. The. beautiful river,
five-eighths of a mile wide, affords the city a water front
miles in extent, gives immediate escape from heat, dust and
noise, and time need not hang heavy as there are a dozen
popular, healthful and beautiful resorts within one to three
hours’ ride by steamer. There are eighteen islands, many of
which are attractive for excursion parties and residences.
Just above the city, Belle Isle Park, containing seven hun-
dred acres, is a favorite resort. Detroit is a complete and
most desirable summer resort, combining all the requirements
of a popular watering place, and the luxuries of a city home.
The river is the pride of its residents, and the surprise and
delight of tourists, who pronounce it the most beautiful
stream in the world. Through it passes the vast tonnage of
the lakes, which exceeds that of our foreign commerce. Early
settlers found on its shores homes more attractive than their
wildest dreams had pictured.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE,

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

A POINTER WITH A MORAL.

Jones banked his wealth, and hoped by stealth
And monumental lying,
(His true vocation plying, )

To save his yearly taxes.

So, when the bowld assessor towld,
(In brogue both rich and mellow),

Him to indite and quickly write,
Like every honest fellow,

His worldly worth, whate’er of earth
And lucre he possesses,

He answered then, without the pen,
And fled the man instanter,
Like unto Tam O’Shanter,

As smiling, he, complacently,
Displayed a few small chattels.

Now, conscience slept; but onward swept
(No sign or timely warning),
Disaster dire for Jones the liar,
As, thus, he mused, and felt amused,
A certain Monday morning:
MONDAY.

WHAT AN EGG WILL DO.

For burns and scalds nothing is more soothing than the
white of an egg, which may be poured over the wound. {ft
is softer as a varnish for burns than collodion, and, being
always at hand, can be applied. It is also more cooling than
sweet oil and cotton, which were formerly supposed to be
the surest application to allay smarting pain. It is the con-
tact with the air which gives the extreme discomfort expe-
rienced from the ordinary accident of this kind, and anything
that excludes the air and prevents inflammation is the thing
which should be at once applied. The egg is considered one
of the best remedies for dysentery. Beaten up shghtly, with
or without sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends, by its
emolient qualities, to lessen the inflammation of the stomach
and intestines, and by forming a transient coating on these
organs, to enable nature to resume her healthful sway over
a diseased body. ‘Two, or at most three eggs per day would
be all that is required in ordinary cases; and since egg is not
merely a medicine, but food as well, the lighter the diet oth-
erwise and the quieter the patient is kept, the more certain
and rapid the recovery.

All steel articles can be perfectly preserved from rust by
putting a lump of freshly-burnt hme in the drawer or case
in which they are kept. If the things are to be moved put
the lime in a muslin bags. This is especially valuable for
specimens of iron when fractured, for in a moderately dry
place the lime will not want renewing for many years, as it is
capable of absorbing a large quantity of moisture. Articles
in use should be placed in a box nearly filled with thoroughly
pulverized slaked lime. Before using rub well with a woolen
cloth.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE.

During the past year the following dead animals were fished
out of the Seine within the city walls: 2,021 dogs, 977 cats,
2,257 rats, 507 chickens and cucks, 3,066 kilos or butchers’

A WAR LOCOMOTIVE.

One of the oldest locomotives now in active service is the
‘General’? of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. ‘This was
the engine which was captured by twenty-two federal soldiers
in disguise on April 12, 1862, and from which they attempted
to escape from Big Shanty, up the Western & Atlantic Rail-
road, and burn the bridges on the line between that point
and Chattanooga. The ‘‘ General” was also directly under
fire of the federal batteries in the great battle of Kenesaw
Mountain, June 27,1864—General Johnston having sent a
train up to about where the present station of Elizabeth
stands, just south of the confederace entrenchments. She
carried up a load of ammunition, and stayed there for the
purpose of receiving the wounded in the battle and bringing
them back to Marietta after its termination. Some of the
shells from the federal batteries exploded all around her. She
was also the last locomotive to leave Atlanta when Hood’s
army evacuated the city. ‘The ‘‘ General’’ is still in the ser-
vice of the company; but, being treated somewhat as a relic
of the glorious past, does not do any heavy work. She has
many callers, however, among the tourists who are anxious
to inspect probably the most famous engine in the United
States.

AN ELECTRICAL LOUNGE.

In a furniture establishment in this city a ladies’ boudoir
is fitted up onthe ground floor for the convenience of custom-
ers. It is carpeted, and furnished with a handsome plush
lounge, chairs, tables, etc. A friend is invited to he down
upon the lounge for a moment, and, in the act of getting up,
requested to touch a certain twilled binding cord containing
gilt tinsel, which emits quite a sharp electric spark, much to
the surprise of the victim. The spark is just as strong upon
a damp, foggy day as when the weather is clear and dry. The
proprietors have named the piece of furniture ‘an electric
lounge.” How the electricity was produced was a mystery.
An easy explanation was found. On investigation, the room
proved to be located directly over a hot air engine, employed
to work the elevator. -T'wo beltsfrom the engine were located
over the same, and ran with great speed in opposite direc-
tions; sparks of electricity were frequently seen to be given
off from the belts.

As the room overhead was kept perfectly dry from the heat
of the engine, and the belts were not far from the floor, it is
supposed the belts acted like a frictional electrical machine,
electrified the floor above, some of the electricity passing to
the carpet and lounge, charging the same like a Leyden jar,
and delivering a spark when touched.

them where they will do the most good in case of need. They
will be found nearly as serviceable as the expensive hand gra-
nades you buy. Should a fire break out throw them with
force sufficient to break them into the centre of the fire. ‘The
salt will form a coating on whatever object the water touches,
and make it nearly incombustible, and it will prove effectual
in many cases where a fire is just starting, when the delay in
procuring water might be fatal.

INVENTIONS OF HALF A CENTURY.

The number of inventions that have been made during the
past fifty years is unprecedented in the history of the world.
Inventions of benefit to the human race have been made in all
ages; but looking back for half a hundred years, how many
more are crowded into the past fifty than into any other fifty
since recorded history! The perfection of the locomotive,
and the now world-traversing steamship, the telegraph, the
telephone, the audiphone, the sewing machine, the photo-
graph, chromo-lithograph, printing, the cylinder printing
press, the elevator for hotels and other many-storied buildings:
the cotton gin and the spinning jenny, the reaper and mower,
the steam thresher, the steam fire engine, the improved process
for making steel, the application of chloroform and ether to
destroy sensibility in painful surgery cases, and so on through.
a long catalogue. Nor are we yet done in the field of invention
and discovery. ‘The application of coal gas and petroleum to
heating and cooking operations is only trembling on the verge
of successful experiment; the introduction of steam from a
great central reservoir to general use for heating and cooking
is foreshadowed as among the coming events; the art ficial
production of butter has already created consternation among
the dairymen; the navigation of the air by some device akin
to our present baloon would also seem to be prefigured ; and
the propulsion of machinery by electricity is even now clearly
indicated by the march of experiment. There are some prob-
lems we have hitherto deemed impossible; but are the mysteries
of even the most improbable of them more subtle to grasp than
that of the ocean cable, or that of the photograph or the tele-
phone? We talk by cable with an ocean rolling between; we

with such effect as to resist the blows of a sledge hammer:
Take equal parts of sulphur and white lead, with about a
sixth of borax; incorporate the three so as to form one homo-
geneous mass. When going to apply it, wet it with strong
sulphuric acid, and place a thin layer of it between the two
pieces of iron, which should then be pressed together. In
five days it will be perfectly dry, all traces of the cement hav-
ing vanished, and the iron will have the appearance of having
been wedded together.

ANCIENT TELEGRAPHS. :

Although the electric telegraph is, comparatively speaking,
a recent invention, yet methods of communication at dis-
tances, by means of signals, have probably existed in all ages
and in all nations. There is reason to believe that among the
Greeks a system of telegraphy was in use, as the burning of
Troy was certainly known in Greece very soon after it hap-
pened, and before any person had returned from Troy. Poly-
bius named the different instruments used by the ancients for
communicating information—‘‘ Pyrsia,” because the signals
were always made by means of fire lights. At first they com-
municated information of events in an imperfect manner, but
a new method was invented by Cleoxenus, which was much
improved by Polybious, as he himself informs us, and which
may be described as follows:

Take the letters of the alphabet and arrange them ona
board in five columns, each column containing five letters;
then the man who signals would hold up with his left hand a
number of torches which would represent the number of the
column from which the letter is to be taken, and with his right
hand a number of torches that will represent the particular
letter in that column that is to be taken. It is thus easy to
understand how the letters of a short sentence are communi-
cated from station to station as fara required. This is the
pyrsia or telegraph of Polybius.

It seems that the Romans had a method of telegraphing in
their walled cities, either by a hollow formed in the masonry,
or by a tube fixed thereto, so as to confine the sound, in order
to convey information to any part they liked. This method
of communicating isin the present age frequently employed
in the well known speaking tubes. It does not appear that
the moderns had thought of such a thing as a telegraph until
1663, when the Marquis of Worcester, in his ‘“‘ Century ofDETROIT: BUSINESS “GUIDE: [27

Inventions,’’ affirmed that he had discovered a method by
which a man.could hold discourse with his correspondent as
far as they could reach, by night as well as by day. He did
not, however, describe this invention.

Dr. Hooke delivered a discourse before the Royal Society in
1684, showing how to communicate at great distances. In
this discourse he asserts the possibility of conveying intelli-
gence from one place to another at a distance of 120 miles as
rapidly as a man coald write what he would have sent. He
takes to his aid the then recent invention of the telescope,

and explains how characters exposed at one station on the top
of one hill may be made visible to the next station on the
top of the next hill. He invented twenty-four simple charac-
ters, each formed of a combination of three deal boards, each
character representing a letter. By the use of chords these
characters were formed behind a screen and exposed, and then
withdrawn behind the screen again.

It was not, however, until the French revolution that the
telegraph Was applied to practical purposes; but about the
end of 1793 telegraphic communication was established be-
tween Paris and the frontiers, and shortly afterwards tele-
graphs were introduced into England. Since that time several
ingenious methods of telegraphy have been invented, one of
which, by Mr. John Garnet, is particularly worthy of notice.
A bar or plank was made to turn about its center (like a
windmill.) Thecenter of motion of the bar has a small circle
about it, with letters and figures around the circumference,
and an index moving round with the bar, pointing to any
letter or mark the operator might wish to signal. The
observer is provided with a telescope with a fixed wire across
the object glass, and with an index in a circle having letters
arranged round its circumference. By turning the telescope
round until the wire covered or became parallel to the bar,
the index on the telescope would point out the same letter as
the index of the bar, and thus communication would be
effected very easily.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE. [29

MATRIMONY IN INDIA.

The first few days in an Indian home do indeed seem
strange to every newcomer from Europe. The extreme pub-
licity of life in those large rooms, each having access to the
other by many doors, which invariably stand open to admit
free currents of air, veiled only by heavy purdahs, or cur-
tuins, from behind which swift, silent barefooted attendants
suddenly appear, and as noiselessly vanish again like white
robed ghosts. Someone has described an Indian bed-room as
‘6a section of a street with a bed in it!” an account which |
recognized as true to the letter when first awakened at about
5 A. M.—i. e. before sunrise—by seeing a couple of bearers
bringing in lamps and a curious-looking Bheestic, or water-
carrier, filling my bath froma black Buffalo skin; soles
man bringing hot water, and a fourth with “‘chota hazeri,’
or small breakfast of tea and fruit. Such an awakening
seemed in truth like a bit of some curious dream of Arabian
Nights; how to proceed with the mysteries of a morning toi-
let was really a serious consideration with all those brown
beings flitting about, and always appearing when least ex-
pected. Before I was half dressed in came another relay to
tuck up the mosquito curtains, and stood salaaming in solemn
silence waiting for orders, which of course I was unable to
give, so could only stare at them admiringly.

As there was no lady in the luxurious home of the merchant
prince, who so hospitably welcomed me on my first landing in
India, there were no ayahs, or waiting women in attendance,
which accounted for all these masculine apparitions, whereat
my English maid was even more bewildered than I was my-
self; tho’ hfe on board ship had accustomed us pretty well to
sudden incursions of stewards and quartermasters. Nor was
it very long before she, ike a good many white women, learntDETROIT BUSINESS QUIDE,

to look on all men of color as mere lay-figures, whose sole pur-
pose in life was to wait her good will and pleasure in all
things. The number with whom she very soon contrived to
share the charge of my sister’s two small children would puz-
zle most nurses. Not that her attendants were limited to
brown men. She was a damsel of calm and comely presence,
who seemed born for life in the tropics, inasmuch as she grew
daily more fresh androsy. Soon her fame went forth, and
the notion of allowing such an unappropriated blessing to re-
turn to Britain was too much for the many sergeants and
clerks and other officials, whose chance of wives depends on
waiting for somebody’s widow, or marrying a half-caste, or a
soldier’s orphan from the Lawrence asylum. So it came to
pass that from distant stations came letters from men well-to-
do, stating their exact circumstances, the number of their
rupees, Various advantages in the way of carriages and serv-
ants, and the date at which they could take leave of absence
and come to fetch her, should she honor them with her hand.
I should be afraid to state how many such were kept in play
like juggler’s balls, and how many photographs were sent to
and fro. For the credit of the sex, I must add that she re-
fused to leave us till we were safely landed in England, when
she returned to marry the poorest of the lot, but one whom
she had seen.

Some of these matrimonial arrangements amused us consid-
erably from the extreme velocity with which the inconsolable
widows ef our soldiers find ‘‘fresh fields and pastures new;”
a variety, apparently, not always displeasing to these dames.

SUNSHINE AND AIR IN SICKNESS.

If there is a possibility of choice, a large, sunny room should
be selected for an invalid; if without a carpet so much the
better, says a trained nurse. ‘The importance of sunshine can
scarcely be over-estimated. Cases have been known of wounds
that had obstinately refused to heal yealding to treatment
after being exposed a few honrs every day to the direct action
of the sun. Sunshine is a capital disinfectant and should
never be excluded from the sick room except by express orders
of the physician. ‘The first canon of nursing, says Florence
Nightingale, is to keep the air a patient breathes as pure as
the external air, without chilling him. In most modern
houses the upper sash of windows lets down and may be kept
open a few inches. If there is the slightest draught, it may
be prevented at a small expense by having a light wooden
frame, similar to those on which mosquito netting is fastened,
about eight inches in width, made to fit the upper patt of the
window. A single thickness of flanel must be tacked on each
side of it.DETROIT BUSINESS GUIDE. 135

THE INVENTOR OF GAS LIGHTS.
The inventor of gas lights is said to have been a Frenchman,
Phillipe Le Bon, an engineer of roads and bridges, who in
1782 adopted the idea of using, for the purpose of illumina-
tion, the gases distilled during the combustion of wood. He
labored for a long time in the attempt to perfect his crude
invention, and it was not until 1799 that he confided his dis-
covery to the Institute. In September, 1800, he took out a
patent, and in 1801 he published a memoir containing the
result of his researches. Le Bon commenced by distilling
wood, in order to obtain from it gas, oil, pitch, and pyrolign-
eous acid; but his work indicated the possibility of obtaining
gas by distillation from fatty or oily substances. From 1799
to 1802, Le Bon made numerous experiments. He established
at Havare his first thermo-lamps: but the gas which he ob-
tained, being a mixture of carburetted hydrogen and oxide of
carbon, and but imperfectly freed from its impurities, gave
only a feeble ight and evolved an insupportable odor, and the
result was that but little favor was shown to the new discovery;
the inventor eventually died, ruined by his experiments. The
English soon put in practice the crude ideas of Le Bon. In
1804, one Winsor patented and claimed the credit of invent-
ing the process of lighting by gas; in 1805 several shops in
Birmingham were i'luminated by gas manufactured by the
process of Winsor and Murdock; among those who used this
new light was Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. In
1816 the first use was made of gas in London, and it was not
until 1818 that this invention, really of French origin, was
applied in France.

THE FOLLOWING UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL APPEARED IN THE DETROIT
FREE PRESS orf ocr. 10TH. 1886.

A DESERVING MANAGER

The theatre goers of Detroit certainly owe Manager White a unanimous vote
of thanks. He has put in commission a re ally elegant and Sumptous theatre.
which unites with every modern convenience those refinements thats should accom-
pany art wherever found, and the internal management is a constant reminder of
the manager’s good intentions toward his patrons. Thus attendants are at hand
f r the accommodation of all who come, and ladies are provided with rooms
wherein to bestow their hats and wraps. The smokers among the gentlemen are
ushered into a handsomely appointed smoking-room, where they are politely served
by a well-trained colored attendant. The attaches are all drilled to the corteous
performance of their duties and everything in and about the theatre is first class.
Mr White sets his employes an example of courtesy towards every person with
whom he comes in managerial contact, and demands from every one of them
unfailing adherence to his own rule of action in that regard. He certainly has
earned the steady support of this public, and it should be gratifying to him to
receive new evidence daily that his work and worth are not unappreciated.
