Changing Color of British Army 1'nifurnt Caused a Firm a Serious Loss, You have money W invest, and sorne- bedy tells you that such and such an industrial is doing remarkably well. You ley shares or ren interest, and for a time a'1 is rosy. Your dividends are 10, 15, perhaps 20 per cp•" , and you beliovo yourself rich for hie. All of a sudden a new law is passed, fickle fashion changes, it scare originates, or sortie new invention supersedes the article which your firm is turning out. Dcen go your shares. You either sell out at an enormous sacrifice, or ruin starve you in the face. '1'1►e other day an Important dyeing oompany applied to be allowed to reduce its capital by about half, and the applica- tion was granted. It was no question of bad management nor anything of the kind. Simply that the color of the British Array uniform has been changed from scarlet to khaki, and this lien had en- Jc.yud the greater part of the scarlet dye- ing oontracts. They estimate the extent of their loss at a quarter of a million sterling, says Peareon'a Weekly. Some years ago a certain Ann of wholesale perfumers came within an ace c: ruin, and were only saved by heavy sacrifices on the part of the principuls. The cause was the outbreak of an insur- rection in the Balkans. To those who do not know what part Bulgaria plays in the world of scent, this explanation sounds ridiculously inadequate, butcause and ef- fect are linked as follows: Nearly all the attar of roses in the world comes from the Maritza Valley, in Bulagrla. The firm in question hod con- tracted to supply a large quantity of this marvellous scent at about a guinea and a half an ounce. When the revolt broke cut, the growers left their gardens, and look to the hills. Consequently, attar rose to nearly three guineas an ounce, and the firm lost thousands of pounds. HARD HIT BY ADVERTISING. In 1902 a nuinber of largo British firms e,1 ootton-brokers were pinched in similar fashion by a sudden rise in the price of ectlon, and two went to smash. And yet the crop was not a particbarly poor one. No, the reason of the sudden jump of 33 per cent. in the price of cotton was a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexioo, a storm which combined with an exceptionally high tide, flooded Galveston and utterly destroyed Its warehouses, in which the the enormous quantity of 50,110 bales of mitten were awaiting shipment to Eng- land. Cause and effect in the world of com- merce aro at tunes apparently in flat con- tradiction. A news company, like any other oommercial undertaking, naturally likes as much bn,siness a6 possible. Yet the chairman of a well-known telegraph company cornplained that the Russo-Jap- a,iese war hit them very severely from a financial point of view. The feet was that they had not only to keep a great number of correspondents in the held, but that, as Japanese is a language with which few Europeans are familiar, their espenscs were increased 50 per cent. by the engagement of interpreters. Advertising Is truly declared to be the very soul and mainspring of business. let there Ls at least one case on reoord of a firm being nearly ruined by adver- tising. The firm in question are large soap r,onuincthrers. About two years ago the directors set aside a large suni for exten- sive advertising. The result was a rush On the part of the public for their wares. Suddenly there was a famine in fat. Tal - pow went up Ove to seven schillings a hundreweight. The firm had enormous contracts on hand, whicli they had to fill 141 a loss. ANAI.YSIS KILLED 11lia SNUFF TRADE As an example of what an invention Can do to damage a business, take the case of Messrs. ---, a firm of wholesale chemists, who, in 11104, laid in a forge stock of the metal calcium. Al that time e r wassed es n of I rare cel.lum clan. one tho metals, and its price was £25 an o►.nce. Not that calcium is In itself a rare ele- ment. It Is, In fact, one of the common- est 111 nature, being ono of the two con- slltuents of chalk and limestone. But at that limo the only 'mown process for extending tt in Its pure state was long, tedious, and cosily. Early in 1905 two German chemists devised i simple oto elrC - trical process for Lsolnting calenini. The price tumbled Io eighteen -pence on ounce! Scares like the typhoid and oyster, or the arsenic In beer nre what manufacture era and tradesmen dread wore than any- thing close. plow many people are aware that the snuff trade in England was prac- tically killed by a senre? 1)r. ilassall, Ihe well-known analyst. analysed forty- three brands of sniff, and found chloride cif lend in nine and oxide of lead in three. We all know Brew the revelation.; as to Chicago beef -packers' methods simply destroyed the trade in Impeded tinned goods. in June. 1905. Imports were 27,- 60': cases; In July, 1906, they were barely "•000. One Liverpool limn 1s reputed to hove lost $60,000 by this scare. MINUTE TIIOI;GiIrS. Patience Ls often merely laziness.

Five lives were lost by the wreck of a Leight train which plunged Into a washed out track at the Current !liver bridge. Another man is missing.

Slight Attacks of Cold May be Treated • Succossiully by Recourse to Fresh Air. The primary cause of a cold is want of pure, fresh air. Badly ventilated living -rooms aro nec'ssarily full of im- pure air, and if artificial lights -especi- ally g►+s-light-Is used in them the air becomes vitiated. Two prodispos.ng causes of a cold must bo carefully noted. Either the body is exposed when weakened by falbgue or oorstttutionally depreS-ea to a cold cur- rent of air, as on a draughty railway platform, to damp shee's o: clithos, or even to the devitalized atmosphere re- sult:(rg from letting a fire le:or' which one has been carefully dozing get gra- dually low, or the pores of rho skin are opened in a vitiated and warm atmos- phere, such as a crowded church, chaps' or theatre. These calces may contb'ne, and a cold then beoarnes doubly severe. Frequently persons ascribe ihe:r crulds to gong from some warm place to the open air, when, ns it matter of fact, they ;levo already taken cold in a close, UNVENTILATED A1'\IOSPIIEIIE.
