TRADE WITH NEW ZEALAND.
Gratifying Showing for American
Pharmaceutical Goods.

I
Replies to a circular issued re
Gently by Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
British secretary of state for the
colonies, having for its object the
collection of statistics as to the ex-
tent to which foreign have displaced
British imports in the colonies, re-
veal the interesting fact that Amer
lean manufacturers Of pharmaceu-
ticai goods have succeeded in New
Zealand at least in establishing a
trade for articles which are manu-
featured in Great Britain. says the
American Druggist and Pharma-
ceutical Record. The reasons why
New Zealanders prefer to deal with
American firms are stated as follows
in letter received from the colonial
secretary from R. H. Blackwell, M.
D., of Davenport, Auckland, New
Zealand, under date of December o.
1895. DR.. Blackwell says:
at is impossible to deny that
foreigners, more particularly the
Americans and Germans, have sue
ceeded in establishing trade here
for articles which are manufactured
in the United Kingdom.
And then he advances the follow
ing as reasons for the above state
ment:
Il. The greater activity, energy
and enterprise with which the for
eigners push their trade
70. That they supply articles as
good as the British at lower price,
and better articles at the same price.
''3, That they more readily adapt
their manufactures to the special
wants of colonists.
Further on in his letter, which is
printed in full in a recent issue of
the Chemist and Druggist, he speaks
If the methods employed by Amer
can firms to secure trade "Amer-
can wholesale druggists" he says,
send over yearly very well-man-
1ered travellers, who show US samples
If their latest novelties. They ask
or no orders, and take none except
rom the Wholesale druggist; but a
ew days after their visit we receive
/ very handsome sample box of their
preparations, comprising 20 to 80
articles, free of all charges. The
value of these boxes should esti-
mate at from five to ten shillings
Zach, if they were bought from the
wholesale houses"
1t will readily be seen that this
to American enterprise is
trustworthy, coming as it
Ices from a source which would
be averse to making any
concessions as to the growth of
American trade; and our manufac-
;uring pharmacists are to be most
heartily congratulated upon the
most signal though peaceful victory
which they have won.

WHAT A WESTERN GIRL DOES.
A New Phase of an Old Profcs

A New Phase of an Old Profess
sion.
Fancy what shock I had last week,
said vivacious Miss B., who had been visit
ing in large Western city; land yet it WITS
rather nice, you know.
The people 1 was stopping with are rail-
read kings-always travel in a private car
step over to Europe with less effort than New
Iolkers make in going to Brooklyn, and all
that. Well, the day after my arrival they
gave me tea, and the prettiest girl in the
room a red-hared creature, with a ravish-
ing figure, and a gown which fitted worlds
better than mine. l was immensely taken with
her, and we chattted, and she was jolly and
clever and most fascinating. Finally, as we
were drinking tea together, the butler offered
me some cake-a blowaway, melt-in-your
mouth concoction Of sugar and chocolate ut
terly delicious.
81 said at once had never tasted anything
so delicate, whereupon the beauty calmly re-
marked:
" I'm glad you like it; made it.
'I thought she was Joking.
Why, you are not a relation, are you?'
1 asked.
&c No, she said, with little laugh; must
have looked bewildered. No, am a profess
| sional cook, I make almost all the fancy
desserts and cake for the swell set here And
it was true.
''She belonged to a poor family, good enough
as to birth, the father incapable of earning
much, and as she grew up it became necessary
to do something. She liked cooking, and be-
gan with this sugar cake, making it occa-
sicnally for a few friends. When I met her
she was on the top round, had two rooms at
the back of the house, with telephone, an
assistant cook and errand boy, and bought her
flour and sugar and things at wholesale.
'The remarkable thing was that she remain
ed the intimate friend of these rich girls with
whom she had gone to school, dressed better
than good many of them, and, after making
the cakes and creams for a big reception,
would dress and go and eat her own wares.
" 1T used to sound vey droll, she said,
when my hostess would call through the tele-
phone: 'Oh, Betty, dear; can you send me
two quarts Of biscuit Tortoni for dinner to-
morrow night?" and 'Betty, if you are going
to the dance Friday, I'll take you up in the
carriage" But, you know, it seemed rather
nice, too.'"

THE WINNING LETTER.


Mrs. GilmOur Tells How Far WO-
man May Go to Encourage a Man.
AS this is leap year the New York Herald
offered prize of $1OO for the best answer to
the question How far may a woman go to
encourage man to propose marriage?" The
letter which won the prize was written by a
Mrs. Gimour, of Brooklyn, who protests that
the wisdom is a matter of theory and not the
result of experience. Here is the winning
letter:
How far may woman go to encourage a
man to propose?

woman of great price, ''far above rubies," and
you will never compromise yourself by any
irdecorousness of speech or manner.
