Cash Instead of Credit.

People who buy for cash always buy
on credit. They buy also more closely,
and select more carefully. Purchases
which are paid for when they are made
are limited more exactly 10 the pur.
chaser's wants. There is nothing like
having to count the money out when
the article is bought, to make people
economical. Tho amount OF indebted.
ness incurred is not much considered
when the payday is far Of. Persons
who do all their business on cash basis
know just where they stand and what
they can afford /; consequently they find
after occasions for regretting, in q turn
Of times, that they have indulged in
this luxury or that, which they would
have forgone had they seen what was
coming. Real wants arc few, and can
be gratifed for cash; at oil events they
should be limited to what can be paid
for in cash. How much OF anxiety,
how many sleepless hours, how many
heart burnings, disappointments and
regrets would be avoided II this rule
were always strictly adhered to.

Chinese DomestlcltIesy.

A writer on the Chinese in the TEN.

privacy sufficient for their need. The
window sashes arc closed either by q
sort Of jalousie or thin mating. They
do not surround their domesticities
with the same mystery and secret pre-.
cautions with which We envelope these
proceedings in Europe. Human M.

10 eat, and il satisfies It's appetite, no
matter how many eyes are gazing. Tell
o Chinese cook you are hungry, and he
will Immediately fetch his fire, his
cooking utensils, his provisions, and
cook under your very nose. He has no
idea Of cohcealing his operations in
some far.back region. He squats down
anywhere, makes fire on or in any

there is no limit to his invention. He
will cook in the middle Of the street, or

THE CORN CROP.

The August Returns OF the U. 81 De-
partmsnt OF Agriculture!
The August returns to the Depart

land, show general improvement in
the corn crop during July, though it is
still backward. Maine averages 90 per
cant. OF full crop New Hampshire,
9s; Vermont, OF Massachusetts,, 10l |;
Rhode Island, 100; Connecticut, 107.
It is very promising in portions Of the
Middle States, but in other portions it
was injured, either by drought or excess
siye rain. A decline is noted IN New
York, where the average is Oh, and in
New Jersey, 91. Pennsylvania and
Delaware have both risen to one per
cent. above the average, 0tthe South
Atlantic States, Maryland shows 90 per
cent, with the crop damaged by
drought, especially on stiff soils /; Yir.
ginia, 90, also damaged from the same
cause and from insect rayages; North
Carolina, OF, a loss OF one per cent.
South Carolina and Georgia have risen
TO 10 per cent. above the average.
Florida, 102, maintains her July aver
age. Texas declines from LOG to l02.
The other Gulf States show enhanced
averages as follows: Alabama, LOT ;
Mississippi, 95 Louisiana, II. The
last named Is partially recovering from
the effects OF tho freshets. Some in
sect injuries are reported. OF the
Southern Inland States, Arkansas, So,
and Kentucky, so, show some improve
ment while Tennessee, 10, and West
Virginia, SO, indicate the continuance
Of uniayOrable conditions. These low
averages are accounted for by severe
and extensive drought. North OF the
Ohio river, all the States show de.
pressed condition from drought and in
sect injuries. Chinch bugs were active
in Illinois, and grasshoppers in several
counties OF Wisconsin. The State aver.
nges arc as follows: Ohio, 90 per cent.
Michigan, oS; Indiana, LOG /; Illinois,
SO; Wisconsin, 98. West Of the Mis-
sissippi river, the ravages Of grasshop-
pers and ohinch bugs have been severe
ly felt in some counties, In some cases,
sweeping all the summer crops. II Is
very remarkable that in Minnesota,
where local injuries have specially oc-
cupied public attention, the high state
Of the crop, in counties not affected by
the pests, have raised tho condition to q
full average. Tho other States, how.
ever, show q decline as follows: Iowa,
from 10i to 1O2; Missouri, 100 TO IA
Kansas, l02 to 10 Nebraska, 100 to
42. In the last-named State, every
county reports severe injuries from
grasshoppers, On tho Pacific coast,
California has raised her average from
90 to 1903; Oregon depressed hers from
103 to 100.
