Cash versus Gredij.

Knowing it to be for my best interests,
and believing it to be for the best interests
of my customers, shall continue to sell for
cash only. The following are few of my
reasons: First-Taking no risks l can
afford to sell at a lower rate of profit.
Second-I will not be at the expense of
keeping book-keeper (seveaty-fve dollars
a month"; Third will not have to spend
a week out of every month trying to make
collections Fourth-I will have time to
give more attention to my business and
consequently give better satisfaction to my
customers, and finally solicit only cash
trade, j. NJ. NOLAN.

The latest from the columns of an ex-
change says: Julius Moshburger, of Moial-
la, Clackamas county, has found a new use
for hops. He having lot on hand he could
cow. On the first milking he found the
milk tasted very much like lager beer, and
being very fond of that article, he copclud-
ed not to feed his cow with anything elce
but hops, and to his great surprise and joy
he found pure and uradulterated beer.

Destruction Of Cabbage Worms.

Professor G. Y. Riley says: zone
OF my correspondents. Mr.. Charles
H. Erwin, Of Painted Post, N. l., has
accidentally hit upon 50 simple and
vet, according to his experience. SO
perfect = remedy for the imported
cabbage worm that / wish to give
his experience as much publicity rs

tended experience which he narrates.
simply cold water, or water but |,
few degrees warmer than ice water,
sprinkled upon the worms dun ing
the heat of the day. Mr.. Erwin found
that such an application in the hot
sun caused them to quickly let 60
their hold upon the leaves, curl up,
roll to the ground, and die, while the
cabbages suffered nothing, but look
ed all the frcsher fer the application.
Should this method prove us suc-
cessful with others as it has with
him, il is evident that We have here
u remedy Of very general applica-
ton. and one which in cheapness
and simplicity far transcends the
Pyrethrum which, since I discovered
its value for the purpose, in 1880, has
been, on the whole, our safest and
most satisfactory remedy against
Pieris rape. Where ice is readily
obtainablc, as in til. more northern
States, or where cold springs obtain,
Mr.. Erwin's discovery will prove Of
great value to cabbage growers. and
will probably prove just as useful
against some of the other cabbage
worms"

who resided at Shullsburg, had fal-
len down il flight Of stairs twenty
five years ago and sustained injuries
which rendered her lower limbs
pOwerless, SO that she was unable to
even stand up. and had affected other
portions OF her body. She had visit
ed many distinguished physicians In
this country without being relieved,
and had also gone to Europe, where
the physicians told her that anything
which would cure her would be- little
|, IS than u miracle. However, she
had fallen under the treatment Of
DR. Davis, who recently located ut
the corner OF Tenth and Locust
streets, and has been completely
cured. Mr.. Roach accepted the invi.
tation of Mr.. Maxwell to call on the
lady, now forty-three years OF age.
She arose to greet Mr.. Maxwell rs
he entered the Office OF DR.. Davis,
and said she was in good health.

Enjoyment.

1t is mistake to suppose that en-
joyment is something necessarily
apart from our work, or what we call
duty. The serious and resigned tone
which is commonly assumed in
speaking If duty tends TO separate
from it all thoughts of gladness or
delight; whereas there are few en-
jorments SO keen or SO satisfactory
us those connected with successful
work and superior performance. The
word duty" is So comprehensive
thar il covers all Of life-its play as
well ~ it, work, it leaslre AS we'll
as its industry; and in the ideal life
duty and enjoyment will ever be
found hand i'm hand.
