Angust 30, 1894. The lhoasands and thosauds of I poople wh*o re*d the daily papers and get the nevs bappenings I from the four qaarters of earth. |do so with little tbonght of the expense attached to getting out a paper and tbe tria!s and tribnla- | tions of tbe editor and freqnent loss of rooney to the owners. The difficalties whieh be set the paths of newspaper people vary according to locality; in tho Nothern States, wbere there are "nine montbs winter and three months very late fall,” it fre«joently happena that the roads are blockaded with suow, just about the time the paper sapply is exhaasted, so the editor has to fall back on his polished-surf ice book paper to get oat his edition. In Vicksbnrg. Missisippi, away back in the sixties an entire stock of wall paper was nsed iu getting oat a weekly paper, newspaper was not obtainable. In sorae j)laces the people will deuiiiud & maximam of news, telegraj>hic and loeal at a miuimuin price, and tben want to pay their subscriptiou and advertising bills in wood or vegetables. Bnt when Satorday night comes aroond the gentle and ungentle compositor rebels, when he is offered anything, bnt eoin in payraent for his services, and this accounts for the fact that balf the editors in Uuited States are troubled with insomnia. We have known compositors in eoantry towns to actaally refuse to liva on a diet of rol!er composiand strike if the editor wonld not divide the contents of the paste pot. In Houolulu, things are ditferent; paper is mannfaotured in Califoruia, and the oeean never freezes so hard that the vessel can’t run, so there is no delay there iu getting a stock of paper; the "typos” usually meet the business Managers on Saturday with a broad smile whieh they give in exchauge for good gold eoin, and the editors who do not \vear search lights in their shirt frouts leave them oft, becanse they do not wish to be mistaken by tourists for capitalists. The compositors, too, are of a better class thau you will find on the Pacific Coast; they dress better, live better and are better citizens than you will find in other places, even at twelve and a half cent beer is not indacement enongh for thera totake on ‘‘jag.’'

* " If there is anything that will set ofi’ the appearance of a home, a good hanging Lamps is the thing. W T e have a new stock of Lamps that is so varied in styles and prices that we ean sait the tastes and purses of everyone. The burners, whieh is really more important than the decorations, have been selected with a to securing the most powerful light with the least possible amount of heat. We otfer these to the public at prices suf- • ficiently low to induce more people to buy than we have Lamps ' to se!l. Garden Hose is as mueh a necessity as a ielephone. The iong stretches of dry weatber kills tbe grass uuless it is imgated and you eannoi very well irrigate uuless you bave Hose, tbe water supply is meagre but with a little • conniving ono ean always get 1 enougb to keep the grass and 1 plants alive. i Table Knives, Carvers, Spoons x and Forks are cbeaper than tfaey ! have ever been before and we h«ve a big stock of them. The Knives are the best made in the ' States and the Spoons and Forks the best quadrupfe plate. Tbese will iast &s iong as solid ware tbat costs four or five times as mueh. I We keep always a full line of tbese goods and ean supply any demand. We neglected to meniion when writing abont Garden Hoee tbat we have a quantity of the lateet I improved water sprinklera that we ean aell very eheap and whieh are bonnd to give satisfactiod. if for no other eeaeon ihan they will not get out of order and rery little force ol vater runs ihem, ( ne HinLi£MTiK a.'
