FRIDAY, DEC. 11,1891.
A.310Se the new things Torontonians
will tly at the forthcoming election will
be a v•te on a bylaw to supply free books
tr the &Mani children.
A Vaal: signifieant advertisement tip.
Peered in the Want column of a Toronto
paper last week viz ;—A lady typewriter,
must be over 40 years of ago. There is
no need of pointing the moral.
Arail the swill of the ho•idayseason 14
over would it not be a good idea to boom
the Mechanics' Institute ? Penny read•
lugs brought good audiences to the Town
Hall and spellingmatches, loote()
r
courses, &o. have aroused on interest in
other places. Brussels Institute library
is one of the hest but the membership Is
two small by and one of the best
wdys tit =sense it is to have the claims
and advantages of the institution brought
before the reading public. Fifty two
weeks reading for the small suai of 31.00
is certainly a very nominal price for the
best literature procurable. We propose
that early in Jammu that a program
be inaugurated something after the fol-
lowing :—Spelling match, ten on a side,
between the East and West residents of
Brussels, munsical selections to be given
by the best local talent. Then two
weeks later, have a lecture on some in.
teresting topic by some of the town
olergymen. Next month have a musical
and literary entertainment and thus in-
fuse liffi into the board of managers and
interest literary people in the matter
of patronizing the library. In some
towns the Free Library is the drawing
card and scores and hundreds may be
seen exchanging their books. What do
the Directors of Brussels Mechanics' In-
stitute think abut getting up a big re.
vival along the line indicated ?
"The Chesley Council has passed a by.
law prohibiting the sale of tobacco and
cigars to boys under 14 years of age nn.
less with authority from the patents,"
We are sure the Chesley town fathers
showed their sound judgment in enaoting
the above legislation and great good
would be accomplished if many other
places would follow suit. The young
Cainula of to -day Me learn enough of
nastiness after 14 years of age without
acquiring the habit of chewing and
smoking tobacoo More they ate old
enough to write their own name legibly.
There are young lads in this place sailing
round in the evenings with a roll of cab-
bage leaves in their mouths who should
be thoroughly spanked and put to bed.
Parents are greatly to blame in this
matter by handing over the household
reins into the hands of half grown yonng.
stem and allowing them to go as they
please. while on the tobacco question
we would like to give tobacco chewers a
hint vis this, the proprietors of etoree
and offices dont pay to have their floors
scrubbed and made tidy for the express
purpose of giving tobacoo chewers an
opportunity of making a pig inn of the
place, If men and boys will chew the
weed let them carry a ouspidore with
them and use it when they are attending
to business in the shops and stores. If
some of• them bad to do the cleaning
after they have retired they would never
repeat the nnisanoe. Do you disbelieve
this ? Prove it by one trial and it will
convince the most skeptical.
Tim business men of Brussels get
about as large a share of trade as falls to
the lot of the ordinary merchant and
they give as good bargains as may be
found in any town. 11 two good resolu-
tions were formed and adhered to, that
we will name, a larger and safer busi-
ness would be done and each man would
work on his legitimate lines. First—A
cash basis should be established and
strialy enforoed. If so the big leak.
called credit, would be stopped and for
every dollar's worth of goods sold there
would be its equivalent, with profit, in
the till. Again, if every Merchant could
have the cash in his band in purchasing
Ms goods his discounts would pay his
running expenses. Where long credit is
the rule it means failure as thee as the
sun shines as the oreditor never knows,
for a oertainty, when he will be able to
meet his liabilities, The long list of
assignments 8110114 be a warning to all L
praotital business men to haul flown the p
'flag "Credit,' to nail the bailees "Cash
" h
to the mad and fight it out upon that
line. Credit is like a man barricading
the doors and windows against an ont.
aide roo and finding when be did so that
the enemy usts already inside in com. to
mend. ‘143 have been told that, there 11

Seo goothat have no eonneetion under

For instance the dry goods men often
keep school books, patent medicines,
buffalo robes, dm, ; the hardware men
handle silverware ; the druggists boom
the fancy goods trade ; the harness
makers, school bags, hand sleighs and the
like ; the galetts sell needles, pins,
buttons and combes, and so tlm illustra-
tions might be multiplied if necessary.
This is a mistake in our judgment, and
will prove itself so to many me the years
roll hy. Business men should hold to
the staples of their respective lines aucl
add specialties but not trespass on the
rights of others. There was a time when
a man could run a general purpose store,
keeping almost everythieg asked for hot

ed up by large capital and the sooner
business people (mine to acknowledge this
fact the sooner will trade run in its
proper grooves. A Jack -of -all trades is
never a wealthy man for the reason that
there is no concentration on any one
line, so it is and go it will be with the
business men of this or any other town
until the course we have endeavored to
mark out is acloptel and closely adhered
to.
