PAYDAY ALMOST HERE.-The first of April
the day which custom has set apart for
squaring up accounts lis rapidly approaching.
If there were more prompt payments during
the year, the merchant, the mechanic, the
farmer, and indeed everybody would not have
to wait for an annual settlement day. In the
business transactions of the world, to save
time is to make money. Much time is lost in
collecting debts, especially small debts, which
should be saved, and might be devoted TO
useful business, If men would keep their en-
gagements Besides, the loss in this case
falls Just where it ought not to fall-upon the
creditors, and not upon the debtor. The
frittering away of SO much valuable time in
the collection of numerous little debts, in
wolves not only great deal of trouble and
annoyance, but very many whose business
relations are interlinked, are made to suffer
thereby

A Debatable Question.

While much has been written concerning the
use of ''put up" medicines, the question il still
an open one, and demands of the people care
ful consideration. The salient points may be
briefly stated, and answered as follows: 1st--
Are the sick capable Of determining their real
condition, the nature OF their malady, and Sc
lectiDI the proper remedy or means OF cure
2d-Can physician. no matter how skillful,
prepare a universal remedy, adapted to the Pc
culiar ailments Of large class Of people, resid-
ing in different latitudes and subject to various
climatic Influences? In answer to the first pro-
position, we would say, diseases are named and
known by certain "signs" or symptoms, aud,
az a mother does not need physician to tell
her that her child has the whooping-cough, or
indicate remedy, so people when afflicted with
many of the symptoms concomitant to "impure
blood" "torpid liver" and "bad digestion" "
require no other knowledge of their condition,
or the remedy indicated, than they already pos
sess. Second propoition-Many physicians
argue that diseases are sectionaly peculiar,
and that their treatment must therefore vary.
and yot quinine, morphine, podophyllin, and
hundreds of other remedies are prescribed in
all countries tn overcome certain conditions. Is
it not therefore. self-evident that a physician
whose large experience has made him familiar
with the many phases incident to all impurities
of the blood, general and nervous debility. liUer
complaint dyspepsia; consumption and cdtdrrh,
can prepare series of remedies exactly adapted
10 meet the conditions manifest, wherever, and
by whatever means, it may have been engend-
cred? The family medicines prepared by X. V.
Pierce, nj. D., of Buffalo, N. Y, fulfill the
above requirements. Many physicians prescribe
them in their practice. His Golden Medical
Discovery mas no equal AZ q blood .purifyer and
general tonic, while his Favorite Prescription
cures those weaknesses peculiar to women,
after physicians have failed. His Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets, which are sugar-coated and lii

Novel Use OF Paper.

Chimney pots are made of paper in
Breslau. Before the paper pulp is
nodded and compressed into the re-
quired shape, it is treated with boracic
acid or tungstate of soda to render it
non-inhammable. In this condition it
is not only suitable for fues, but for
roofing and non-conducting covering of
steam-pipes. Paper made from the
to clothing which can also be rendered
incombustible. AS the cactus grows
abundantly in many of our Western
States and Territories on arid soil where
nothing else can be cultivated, it is pro-
posed to use it on a large scale for the
manufacture of paper, and to use the
product for car-wheels, boats, roofing,
pals, and many other purposes.

The Consuuption d Horsefesh.

The consumption Of horseAesh in
Paris, which commenced in 1860 in tine
face of great prejudices, but which
steadily advanced and derived great
stimulus from the siege, last year aver
aged 1000 animals per month. The Par
isians. in fact, consume all the horses in
the city which are past work. and have
even to obtain some from distance,
while in the large towns, also, hippo
phagy is gaining ground. Its advocates
are, in these circumstances, naturally
anxious that other countries, especially
those where meat is at q high price,
should supplement their supplies of
food by the flesh of the horse, which,
Lney contend, ls more nutritious than
beef, and could be had at half the price.
With view to promote its introduction
inte the English dietary, Emile Decroix,
who first, as soldier, tasted horsehesh
from necessity in Algeria, and has since
been one OF the most ardent propaganda
lists of its use, recently invited the rep
resentatives of several London journals
to dinner, at which horsefesh was
served up in variety of forms-soup,
boiled, roast, sausages, etc. Some of
the guests were prepared to find that in
this, as in so many other cases, taste
had to be acquired, and that the first
trial was not conclusive. The meat,
however, was really palatable. While
well cooked, it was Intentionally served
up in plain way. so that there should
seem to lave been no attempG to dis
guise its flavor by condiments. 1t was
slightly firmer and darker than beef, but
Mr.. Decroix has repeatedly had guests
who supposed themselves oil along to be
dining off beef. Horses are never
slaughtered for the table before being
incapable of further work, and in Paris
the precaution is taken of inspecting
them before being killed as well as
after; but, even were such precaution
taken, Mr.. Decroix has satisfied himself
by personal experiment that horses suf-
fering from various complaints may be
eaten with impunity.

The Result of obstruoted Digestion.

Among the hurtful consequences Of obstruct-
ed digestion, is the eimpoverishment OF the blood,
and since deteriorative condition of the vital
fluid not only produces dangerous organic
weakness, but, according to the best medical
authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia, 1t il
apparent that TO improve the quality Of the
blood by promoting digestion and assimilation,
If wise precaution. Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters is precisely the remedy for this purpose,
since it stimulates the gastric juices, conquers
those bilious and evacuaiive irregularities
which interfere with the digestive processes,
promotes assimilation Of the food by the blood,
and puriies as well ~ enrches it. The signs

The Sewers.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, in a recent
issue, says: 1--WE have reports from In
diana, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
consin, and from Illinois. All unite
with one voice in saying: Prospects
for winter wheat never better Large
sowings of spring wheat are expected.
The mild winter has given opportunity
for outside labor, and all work is well
advanced and ready for spring. Great
complaint continues on account of bad
roads, which prevent the moving OF
grain in wagons. The frost is all out OF
the ground in Iowa, and spring wheat
sowing commenced a week ago. Ne
braska also reports a large number OF
farmers sowing spring wheat"

Wouldn't DO 1t.

An English militiaman was on senrty
and was marching mp aud down, when a
distinguished officer of the service
passed. The officer, of course, expected
the man to salute, but the man took no
notice of him. The officer then asked
him "Why don't you salute? ?" And the
man replied "Well, was thinking of
it, but, as you are so awfully partic-
ular, don't think 1 shall new." The
officer was SO tickled by the answer that,
instead of having the man put in the
guard room, he went straight to the
nearest mess and told the story.

A DUEL was fought the other day near
Athens, Ga, between a prominent
young newspaper man of that city and II
countryman. 1t was a sham duel to the
quill man, but stern reality to the
countryman. The order was given to
fire. The countryman fired promptly,
and, to his untutored eye, his opponent
fell dead. "Foul play - cried one.
"Police y shouted another. "Let me
kill the scoundrel,' shouted the dead

at the victor. At this demonstration the
