The commercial traveller or repre- sentative of the manufacturer who wishes to sell to the retail dealers will, in many cases, pay employees of the latter commissions in consideration for giving the goods of the bribing house the preference. showing them to the customers in the shop, and keeping the goods of other firms out of view. Some of the large retail firms employ men or women to purchase supplies; others when ordering, consult their salespeo- pie as to making selections.
 This practice of bribing extends to other branches of business. A case has just been decided by the supreme court of appeals at Cologne, where the tech nical manager of a car building con cern was discharged by the company which employed him, because he ac- cepted commission from a firm foT which he procured orders.

AN OLD GOLDSMITH VOLUME.

An old volume which an Atlanta book man prizes, was found in an old book store recently. It is the History or Rome" by Oliver Goldsmith. Gold smiths name takes one back to the lit erary fellows of that day-the hack work they did to keep life in them; for when Goldsmith was at work writ ing that history he was doing twenty different things besides-little odds and ends that brought money for his daily bread, with a scolding landlady laying down the law to him; for it was the time that the great Dr. Johnson thought himself lucky when he could dine in a cellar on a sixpence worth of tripe and a pennyworth of bread, and wipe his fingers on the back of a New foundland dog after his greasy meal1 And to think of the growing that is done by the little authors of the present day.-Atlanta Constitution.
