Electric Lights for z Cts a Month";

Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities of its population.
The reasons are found partially in the eli
mate conditions which urge the
adoption OF light unaccompanied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause of it's scattered condition and the
consequent large cost OF reaching
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the original OIL
lamp and the tallow candle. A third
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
troduced by the Government, it was
offered to consumers on basis OF rates,
which in many cases of commercial
lighting and especially for night light
ing. considerably discounted the cost of
oil for the same amount OF illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit of that Government supply.
Today the HawaiialI Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal to
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
eminent service together with our own.
We offer lighting at the Government
fiat rates as follows:
Stores and offices per 10 C. p. light per
month $1.0O
Residences per Is C. p. light per
month-to lights 9Octs.
Residences per 10 C. p. light per
month-excess of 5 lights Scots
We do much better than this for our
consumers. We place lights i'll every
nook and corner CT your premises II you
wish. measure the light you use, and
charge for actual consumption only.
You use light when and where you
need it and you don't forget to shut 1t OFT
when that need is satisfied. nor do you
feel bound to keep the lights going from
dnsk till dawn in order TO secure the
value OF a stipulated bill. We in turn
know exactly what We have delivered to
Won and can figure with certainty upon
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost of d Is T.. p. light per hour is
IL to IL cents, varying with the
efficiency of the lamp.
The probable cost to you per month is
clearly indicated by the following
ANALYSIS of total charges made for resi-
dence lighting during June. Average

Of these prices and the positive advan-

LANGUAGE OF A DOG.
How the Canine Dictionary Was Evolved
From His Tail.

From His Tail.
In the case of all hunting dogs, such
as fox hounds or wolves, which pack to-
gether, the tail is carried aloft and IS
very free in movement. 1t is frequently
rendered more conspicuous by the TIP
being white, and this is almost lnvarl-
ably the case when the hounds are mixed
color. When ranging the long grass OF
the prairie or jungle, the raised tips of
the tails would often be all that an indi-
vidual member Of the band would see Of
It's fellows. There is no doubt that
hounds habitually watch the tails of
those in front of them when drawing
covert.
If a faint drag is detected suggestive
of the presence of the fox, but scarcely
sufficient to be sworn to vocally, the. tail
Of the finder is at once set in motion, and
the warmer the scent the quicker does it
wag. Others, seeing the signal, instantly
join the first, and there Is an assemblage
of waving tails before even the least
whimper is heard. Should the drag
prove doubtful one, the hounds sepa-
rate again. and the waving ceases. But
If it grows stronger when followed up
the wagging becomes more and more
emphatic until one after another the
hounds begin to whine and give tongue
and stream OF in Indian file along the
line of scent. When the pack is in full
cry upon a strong scent, the tails cease
to wave, but are carried aloft in full
view.
The moment when the dog most en-
ioys life is the moment when he sights
game. That moment is the time when
he wags his tail most vigorously in order
to announce his discovery to his fellow
dogs In this way, by the habit of asso-
citation, he got to wagging his tail when
ever he was pleased, and the more pleased
he is the more vigorously he ways his
tail, so that the wagging of dogs tail
under pleasurablO emotion can be traced
directly to the time when the dog used
his tail as a signal of the discovery of his
ey.-Contemporary Review.

The Place ON the Chippevv:, Commss-
sion Will Remain Vacant.
Washington, Nov. 7.-When President
Cleveland appointed William NJ. Camp
bell marshal of Minnesota in place Of
J. Adam Bede, who resigned under such
peculiar circumstances, it created a va
cancy in the Chippewa Indian commits
sion. Campbell was chairman Of this
commission, which has been operating
among the Indians for many years, en-
deavoring to settle their affairs. Secre-
tary Smith says he will not recommend
filling the vacancy, because the work
of the commission has not succeeded in
accomplishing the results for which it
was appointed. Campbell was in Wash
ington at the time Of his appointment as
marshal, receiving instructions in his
duties as chairman Of the Indian COM
mission, and had been Informed by Sec
retary Smith that in case results did not
speedily follow his return to Minnesota
that the commission would probably be
abandoned. The failure has been in not
getting the Indians to take their allot-
ments at or near one reservation. At
present they are scattered over different
sections Of the state and do not care to
secure allotted lands in places where they
have not been living for quarter Of a
century. @ E

WILL INCLUDE CHIEFS.
Tr:r sed Extension OF the Civil
Service. e..rE


Washington: Nov. THE intimation
given by the civil service commission in
announcing the recent extensions in the
civil service by the president that fur
ther extensions were to be early adopted
has been discussed in the departments
and among officials who know, and it is
said the next extension will include chiefs
of divisions in the various departments.
which would be a very important move.
T, The salaries paid to these officers are
$4,000 each. They have always been
held as political plums for the smaller
politicians who seek office in Washington,
and it is claimed that oftentimes they are
appointed without any fitness whatever
for the positions they hold. In many
cases the assistant chiefs do all the bust
ness of division during the entire ad-
ministration. Some times it has been
suggested that these assistants be pro-
NOTED, but they generally decline because
they fear a new administration might
displace them, and they would be out Of
a position. If the civil service system
should be extended to chiefs of divisions
it will certainly be of great Importance
to the service and accomplish what the
commission has long contended for.
