The Terrible Cabbage Habit.

There is no Disgusting the fact that our
people ere becoming addicted to the
cabbage habit to such an extent that
they are unable to shake it off, If they
cannot get the wherewith to shake their
appetite for cabbage at home, they will
levy upon foreign countries for a supply.
The cabbage habit comes on @ man
gradually. At first he tries a little raw
cabbage, and likes it. He next takes it
with vinegar, until his appetite Graves
something stronger, when he resorts to
the sauerkraut, and then there is no help
for him. From the moment that he
places the platter Of the fermented snuer.
krant to his lips, he is changed man.
Friends may rally around him and try to
get him to turn over q new cabbage lenf,
and stihe his appetite, but he is deaf to
their entreaties. He laughs at their
fears. He even gives cabbage to his
children, and instances have been known
where whole families, men tottering with
age, men in the prime of life, women
with babes in arms, and innocent child
rem have all been seen around table in
dulging in cabbage in it's various forms.
Men under the influence of cabbage
have been seen walking along the public
streets with cabbage concealed in
baskets, taking the intoxicating fruit to
their once happy homes to be made up
into sauerkraut. If accused OF an inten-
ton to convert the cabbage into the kraut
that giveth the color and smell to the
hrkin, they will laugh it off and even ad-
init it, 1t is time something were done
to rescue our neighbors from the de-
mornlizing cabbage habit. Let us form
temperance societies to rescue the fallen
cabbage consumers, and cause happiness
where now is gloom and the smell OF
kraut. Let us go among the cabbage
enters and beg them to look not upon the
cabbage while it is red, or white, but
take an oath to abstain from it. Let us
nominate IN anti-cabbage ticket for
State officers, composed of mon who
have indulged in cabbage to excess and
been reformed, and snatched like brands
from the burning, and let us go before
the people on platform that denounces
the practice of eating cabbage, and calls
any man that likes cabbage horse thief
and william. Think of it. Men are
being cut off every day, with their facul-
ties impaired, and their skins full of cab
bage. No one is safe as long as the cab
bage eater is allowed to go about, hold
ing office and drawing salaries. Let us
work while the day lasts, in this cabbage
reform, and pay our salaries out of the
collections taken Ilp. The country is in
danger as long as the growth of cabbages
Is not prohibited by law.--Pecks San.

A Stupid Possey.

Ever since Los Angeles county
has had a name allotted to it on
any map she has been shipping
her crude staples to the East to be
manufactured there. During near
~ that whole time the rates of
transportation were exceedingly
high, and perhaps necessarily so,
on account Of the enormous voyage
around the "Horn" which our
wool and hides we're obliged to
take in the old days. And yet,
during the whole of that period,
we shipped our wool, for instance,
In a condition of such filth that
tho grease and dirt which en-
cumbered it may fairly be said to
have been half or more of it's
weight. During that whole time
we paid these high rates OF trans
portation upon truck that had to
be removed from the wool in Bos-
ton or New York before it was fit
for the looms. We are guilty Of
that identical folly to-day. Prob.
ably, during the last thirty years,
the money thus wasted on unnec-
essary freights would foot up into
the millions. This stupidity 10 by
40 means restrictedto Los Angeles
county. The whole State is guilty
of it; and, as consequence, we see
California wheat rated at ridicu.
lousy low figures as compared
with any other that is quoted In
the Eastern markets. It seems
singular that our people have not
energy enough to handle DO simple
q proposition as that of cleansing
their own woods, improving the
standing of the California staple
and saving the money heretofore
wasted on the transportation Of
wool. The same chemicals and
the came machinery found eff
fectual in New York and Massa-
chusetts ought to provo available
here, II soms enterprising citizen
would only introduce them.
