Anguat 30, 1894. Tbe tboosands and thosands of j people who read the daily papers j and get the news happeninp* from the four qoarters of earth, 1 j do so with little tboogbt of the i expense attached to getting oat a [ paper and the trials and tribalations of the editor and freqaent ; loss of money to the owners. The difficalties whieh be set the paths of newspaper people vary according to locality; in the Nothern States, wbere tbere are "nine months winter and tbree months rery late fall,” it freqaently happen» that the roads are b!ockaded witb snow, just abont the time the paper sapply is eibaasted, so the editor has to fall back on bis polished-snrface book paper to get out his edition. In Vicksbnrg, Missisippi, away j back in the siitiesan entire stock of wall paper was nsed in getting ont n weekly paper, newspaper was not obtainable. In some places the people will demand a maiimum of news, { telegraphic and loeal at a minimum pn’ee, and then wanl to pay their subscription and advertis- ’ ing bills in wood or vegetabies. But when Satnrday night comes { around the gentle and ungentle compositor rebels, when he is of- 1 fered anj’thing, but eoin in pay- ; ment for Lis services, and this accounts for the fact that half the editors in Uuited States are troubled with insumnia. We | have known compositors in eoun- | try towns to actually refuse to live on a diet of roller composi- | and strike if tbe editor would not divide the coatents of the paste pot. In Honolulu, thiogs are ditferent; paper is manufantured in California, and the oeean uever freezes so hard that the vessel can ! t run, so there is no delay tbere in gettiug a stock of paper; the "typos” nsually meet the busiuess Managers on Saturday with a broad sraile whieh they give in exchange for good gold eoin, and the editors who do not wear search lights in their shirt frouts leave them otf, becanse they do not wisb to be mistaken by tourists for capitalists. The oompositors, too, are of a better‘ class thau you will find on tbe Pacific Coast; they dress better, live better and are better citizens thau you will findiu other places, eveu at twelve and a Lalf cent beer is not inducement enough for them to take on If there is anything that will set otf the appearance of a home, a good banging Lamps is the thing. We have a new stock of i Lamps that is so varied in styles and prices that we ean suit tbe tastes and purses of everyone. i The burners, whieh is really 1 more important than the decora- | tions, Lave been selected with a to securing tbe most powerful Iight with the least possible i amocnt of heat. We otfer these to the pablic at prices snfficiently low to induce more people to buy than wo have Lamps to sell. Garden Hose is as mueh a necessitj as a te!epbone. The long stretches of dry weather kills the grass unless it is irrigated and you cannot very well irrigate unless you bave Hose, the water sapply is meagre bnt with a little conniving one ean always get enough to keep the grass and plants alive. Table Knives, Carvers, Spoons and Forks are cheaper than they have evor beon before and we h«ve a big stock of them. The Knives are tbe best made in the States «nd the Spoons and Forks the best qpadraple plate. These will Ust as long as solid w«re that costs four or five Umee as moeh. We keep always a full line of these goods and ean supply any demand. We neglected to meniiou wheo writing about Garden Hoee tbat< we have a qoantity of the latest improwd water sprink!ers that we ean soll very eheap and whieh are boand to givo satisfaetiod, if £or no other reason ihan they will not get o«t of order and rery IitUe foroe of waler rans ihem. h» īnmaaim& WhUW
