GRANT 81 BOGGS,

The Great Generals Early DemOnstTa-
ton of No Business Sense.
The downfall of Grant & Ward, Of New
York, says the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
recalls to some old citizens of vigorous
memories the collapse of Grant 81 Boggs,
of st. Louis. That latter business catas-
trophe came after the failure in farming.
Grant, after throwing up his commission
in the army, while serving in Oregon,
came on to st. Louis, and there was an
understanding between his father and his
wife's father that he was to be set up as
farmer. Dent agreed to furnish the farm
and old Mr.. Grant was to stock it. Later
on eX-Capt. Grant found himself settled
in log house on the GravOis road. The
stock, consisting of lot of potatoes, came
along later in the season. They were I'M
loaded, left on the leYee, and frozen. This
was the start in life Grant got as a
farmer. Left to his own development of
agricultural tastes, he took to hauling in
wood and selling it. 1t was when the
farming experiment had proven a failure
and Grant had been refused the appoint
ment of surveyor, for which he made APP
plicatiOn to the County Court, that he
moved to the city and went into the real
estate and brokerage business. The firm
was a relative of Gov. Boggs and also
connected with the Dent family. They
opened an office on Pine, just above
Second, and some property was put into
their hands. Capt. Frank McGarrahan
and other old real estate men remember
the firm from attempts at transactions
with them and from the utter lack of ideas
on business matters which Grant showed.
Phil Ferguson, who was then publishing
paper, tells Of going to see Grant about
the purchase Of a job Office which bad been
put in the firms hands to sell. He founls
the senior partner not at the office, but
after a search, and when he did so it was
with no satisfaction. Although they had
the property and it was for sale, Grant
was unable to present the terms
or the condition of the stuff so
that the printer could form any
conclusion as to what he was trying to
buy or what he was expected to pay for it.
In short, the senior partner was without
business sense. In a few weeks the real
estate and brokerage firm of Grant 81
BOggs was classed with the past, and the
senior went to Galena to join his father in
the tannery.

It's Manufacture Resumed at New

Everybody remembers the extensive
advertising by which Rex Magnus, The
Food Preservative, was made familiar to
the public last season. Our readers will
recall the announcements which appeared
in our columns and the statements which
were made of its preserving powers.
These seem to have been well founded, as
they are backed up by many testimonials
gathered by the Boston Company during
last summer and fall~and by the fact that
people who began to use 1t continued TO
do so right through the season.
The failure of The HumistOn Food Pre-
serving Company, who were the manu-
facturers of Rex Magnus, was announced
in November last. Considerable OF the
stock was owned in and about New
Haven, Conn.,, and some OF these stock
holders, knowing the real value OF Rex
Magnus, quietly took steps to obtain con-
troll of the patent and secret of manufac-
ture, with the idea of starting the business
anew at New Haven and pushing it to
successful issue.
We learn that these arrangements have
been completed and that a new company
has been formed there under the name OF
'sThe Humiston Company" who now an
nounce that they are ready to fill all orders
without delay.
We are pleased to learn that the busi-
ness is to be continued. 1t is an unques-
tionable fact that good, simple and
cheap food preservatIve is urgently need
ed by mankind, both to prevent loss and
w9ste Of perishable articles, and to per-
init the transportation of beef, fish, but,
ter, milk, and eggs, which are the great
staples Of animal food, from more distant
sources of supply.

A SUMMER BONNET.

The bonnet is the most unsatisfactory
part of the summer outfit, except perhaps
the mantle. / mean to the quiet woman
of refined taste who is no longer young
and there are a great many OF this class.
To begin with, there is nothing seasonal
bic or summary in the appearance OF the
bonnets of the season. They are mixed.
They are like the bOnnets worn last Win
ter. They are neither light nor shady
nor expressive of any joy or outdoor life:
''Oh," said lady who had traversed
Broadway, YEARLY climbed stairs, and
risked her neck on many elevators in
search of the unattaiuable, show l wish
could find such a bonnet as l used to
wear-just an English straw, with a
flower and a ribbon" SUCH bonnet
may be found, but it is imported, and it
costs twenty, thirty, forty dollars. The
bonnets which occupy the stands in the
shops are all of piece-a conglomera-
ton, something made up of every bon
nets worst for the past five years-badly
conceived, badly made, and not tulhlhng
their function. There is something very
pretty and distinctive about small
'Sdress" bonnet, and it ought never to be
out Of fashion. 1t is always needed,
and in satin, velvet or lace, in a
suitable tint or color, with feathers or
flowers for garniture, it is elegant and
adapted to the purpose Of the handsome
costume with which it is worn. But
straw bOnnets should be adapted to more
general uses, and to purposes of greater
utility. They should be light in weight,
Of a more serViceable size, and suggestive
