AUCTION SALES.
Elisha Yale Held the First One In
England In 1900.

England VI ifuu'
The first auction sale in England
was held in 100 by Elisha Yale, who
had been governor of Madras and who
adopted that plan for selling the East
Indian wares he had brought home.
The sale attracted wide attention and
was so successful that others immedi-
ately adopted the plan.
Before the close of the eighteenth
century England began to place tax
on auction sales, and at times these
duties have ranged as high as s per
cent. In 1915 the tax was repealed,
but charge imposed on the license to
be taken out by all auctioneers. The
abuses at auctions, caused by combi-
nations Of brokers to bid up the offer
ings, led to the adoption of stringent
regulation.
In America auctioneers of certain
class have also been guilty of many
impositions on the public. Fake ''auc-
ton sales" of alleged bankrupt stocks
of merchandise, sire sales" and SINH
lar schemes have long been used to
impose on the credulous. At many
such sales the auctioneer has confed-
crates in the crowd who start the bid
ding and continue 1t until some legiti-
mate bidder has offered a price that
affords the promoters a handsome
profit. The imposition of heavy fines
and prison sentences has discouraged
this class Of auctioneers in most sec
tons. --Milwaukee Sentinel.

The SAUSAGE.

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days of Homer manufac-
tured sausages, but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product. The ancient so
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup of the boudin of the French
market and the blood pudding of the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped In the stomachs of
goats. 1t was not until the tenth cen.
fury that sausage made of hashed pork
became known. 1t was in or near the
year 1900 that, thanks to the introduc.
ton into Germany of cinnamon and
saffron, the sausages Of Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired universal repu,
tation.

MILFORD, N, H., oUARRYING.
Condition of Business During the Past
Year Described.

The Milford, N. H., Cabinet has the
following to say about conditions of
the granite industry in its town: "The
sailing of twelve paving cutters yester
day for their homeland in Scotland who
have been employed in Milford the past
nine months indicates the closing of the
season of 1918 in that branch of the
granite industry. 1t rarely is so hot
that work has to cease on the lodges but
cold weather makes successful working
of stone impossible. The cutting sheds
win operate all winter and give employ
ment to a goodly number of skilled
workmen. The season of 1913 has been
one of the most successful that the
granite industry has ever experienced in
Milford There have been no labor lift
culties to retard work and a peculiarly
friendly relation has appeared to exist
between employers and employees which
has made for the general success of all
concerned. The quarries have continued
to yield the best of stone and meet all
demands made upon them. New work
ings have been fairly successful and
some good stone has been unearthed.
More stone workers have been employed
in the Milford quarries the past season
than ever before and as the pay has
been the largest in the history of the
business and workers have come
through with a greater prosperity and
a half-dozen new houses have been built
by the stone men for future residences.
There have been several bad accidents
upon the lodges, perhaps not more than
should be expected in so dangerous
business as blasting and handling heavy
blocks of granite. Several OF the plants
have installed new machinery and are
in better shape to begin work again in
the spring than ever before. 1t is safe
TO prophesy another good season for
1914"
