Aognst 30, 1894. Tbe thoosaQ(ls and thosauds of people wbo read tbe datir papers »nd get tbe oews bappeuiDgs from tbe four qaarters of eartb, do so witb little thoagbt of the expense attached to gettiog oat a paper aod tbe trials and tribalations of tbe editor and frequent > loss of moner to the owners. ' Tbe d.fficalties whieh be set ihe paths of newspaper p>eople rary according to localitr; in the Nothern States, where there are ■'nine montfas winter and three months reiy late fall,” it frequently happens that the roads are blockaded with snow, jast aboat the time the paper supph’ is exhaasted, so the editor has to fall back on his polished-sarfice book paper to get out his editioa. In Vicksbnrg, Missisippi. awar baok in the sixties an entire stock of wall paper was used in gettiug oat a weekly paper, newspaper was uot obtainabIe. In some places the peoplo will demaud a maximum df news, i telegraphic and loeal ut a minimam price, and then want to pay their subscription aud adrertising bills in wood or vegetables. j , But when Satnrdar night comes aronnd the gentle and ungentle compositor rebels, when he is offered auything, bat eoin in pay1 ment for Lis services, and this accounts for the fact that hal{ the editors in Uuited States are tronb!ed with insumnia. We have knnwu compositors in eountry towns to actually refase to lire oo a diet of roller composiand strike if the editor would not diride the contents of tbe paste pot. , In Honolnlu, things are differ- | ent; paper is mauufaotured in Califurnia, and tbe oeean nerer ! , lreezes so baru tbat tho vessel ] can’t run, so there is no delny there iu getting a stock of paper; the “typos” usually meet the business Managers on Saturday with a broad smile whieh they : give iu exchange for good gold eoin, and the editors who do not : wear search lights in their shirt fronts leave them oti, because they do not wish to be mistaken by tourista for capitalists. The eompositors, too, are of a better | class thau you will find on tbe Pacific Coast; tbey dress better, live better and are better citizens j thauyou will find in other plaeea, : oveu at twelve and a half cont beer I is aot induceaient enough for theio,to take on ‘*jag.’ If there is nnything that will set offthe appeaeanee of a home, i a good hauging Lamps is the thing. We have a new stock of Lamps that is so varied in styles and prices thut we ean snit tbe tastes and purses of everyone. ' The burners, whieh is really j moro importaut tban the decorations, bave been selected with a to securing tbe most powerful light with the least possible i umount of heat. We offer these to tbe poblic at prices sufficiently low to indaco moro people to buy than we have Lamps toseU. . | Garden Uose is as mueh a necessity as a ieiephone. Tho long stretcbes of dry weatber kills | the grass unless it is irngated : and yoa eanuoi very well hngate ; uuless you have Hose, the water sapp)y is meagre but with a littie | coQDiving one ean aiways get ' • onough to keep ihe grass and | > plants alive. | ( Table Knives. Carvers, Spoons ■ J and Forks are cheaper th«n they , have ever been be(ore aud we 1 have a big stock of ihem. The I. Knives are ihe best made in tbe i States and tbe Spooos and Forks i tbe best quadrup e plate. These ; wilUast «8 long as solid ware that ' costs four or five times as moeh. . We keep aiways a fall line of t these goods and ean aapp)y any i demand. We neglected to menlion when writing abont 6arden Hoee tbat we have a qaaotity ol tbe lateat improved water sprioklers tbat we ean sell very eheap and whieh are bouud to g:ve satisfactiud r i( lor no other reason than tbey wili | not get oot of order and very httie foroe o( water ruos ihem.
