The Power of Advertising.

The Royal Baking Powder Com
pany has recently forced grocers to
sign a new contract which the gro
GERS find very distasteful. Some time
ago the wholesale grocers requested
the baking powder company to grant
better terms, claiming that there was
no living profit in handling the
goods. The contract now provides
that q rebate of five per cent. shall
be paid at the end of a year, provid-
ing that the grocers increase their
sales ten per cent. during the year
and do not sell to other jobbers. As
an example of the sentiment on the
subject leading grocer said yester-
day that he would give $1,000 to be
one OF two-thirds of the grocers TO
sign a contract refusing to handle
the goods of the Royal Baking
Powder Compsny.-New York Jour
nal of Commerce.
The Baking Powder people so won
the confidence of the consumers by
advertising constant advertising
that the jobbers were forced to
handle their goods whether they
wished to or not.
Skeptics please take notice.

ORIENTAL LUXURY AT HOME

The wonders OF the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
TO see them, anG that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
inner craving for the beautiful things

Natural misunderstanding.

According to the Hanaford Jour
nal, a gentleman of that city was
some miles outside of the city, when
a nut came of the axle of his buggy.
He had halted for repairs, and was
IN no little trouble. Finally Portu-
guese came along, and the gentleman
hailed him to ask If he had a monkey
wrench. The man was angry on the
instant.

Life At AngmazaIIk, ON the East Coast
OF Greenland.


According to all records which We
possess, says knowledge, the coolest
| inhabited spot on earth is Wercho-
| jansk, in Eastern Siberia, under the
Polar Circle, where the annual mean
| temperature is % degrees F., or 81
| degrees of frost. During the months
| Of January, February and March the
| thermometer generally remains at 5e
| degrees below zero.
a striking contrast TO this terribly
cold climate Is furnished by that OF
| the little colony, Angmasalik, on the
east coast OF Greenland, on the oppO-
site side of the globe and nearly in the
same latitude, about 65i degrees. The
climate here is, com paratively speak
ing, "mild," the annual mean temper
allure being only 26 s degrees, or seven
degrees of frost. The winter has a
mean temperature OF II degrees,
spring mean temperature of 80 de-
grees, summer one Of 37.4 degrees,
and autumn a mean temperature
Of 24.S degrees. The changes of tenn
perature here are, however, not near
ly so great as at Worchojansk, as the
sea, which is in close proximity, acts
as a regulator. However, AngmaSalik
Is far from being a pleasant place of
residence, as the weather is invariably
"raw cOld' and stormy, while the
shores are generally choked with drift
ice as far as the eye can reach. The
shores Of East Greenland are, as is
generally known, almost unapproach-
able on account of the drift ice.
At Angmasalik, which the Danish
Captain Holm penetrated for the first
time in 1888, there was a colony of
Eskimo, numbering some 400, which
which had never before come into
contact with civilized people. When
Lieutenant Kydew reached the col
Ony ten years after, the population
had dwindled to 800. There was then
established a trading and mission sta
ton here, coupled with a meteorolo-
gical observatory. The Danish Green
land steamer Hvidbjornen white
Bear is now to call every autumn at
this colony; but 1t may be doubted
whether this will be possible on ac-
count OF ice. Anyhow, the colony
and the steamer are provisioned for
several years should the latter be
in the Polar pack.

Mr.. EpIToR:-Both the Govern

pany seem to have a poor apprecis-
ton OF past favors. For the last week
the people Of North HilO and Hama
Bua have been anxiOusly awaiting the
arrival OF the Claudine with foreign
mail. Yesterday morning the steamer
arrived on the coast aud although
she stopped and landed passengers at
Paauhau, she brought no foreign mail

for North HIIo but instead OF landing
Il al IaupahoehOe as she passed, she
proceeded directly 10 HilO. Conse-
quently we did not receive our mail
until today.
We don't understand why the
steamship company should treat
North Hilo with such scar courtesy
and leave US in a position where we
have TO await the pleasure of the Hilo
authorities for our mail. Two weeks
ago, when the Kilauea HOu was on
the coast, she landed her freight in
North HilO and Hamakua when there
was not another district on the ISL

Simultaneous interviews with the

marked divergence in statements.
The steward said they had been ex-
periencing good weather through
out the voyage. Both have the out
lines OF the hunting story by heart,
but differ in respect to details,
hedging when questioned as to the
amount OF salt on board and the
supply OF provisions. Hawaiian
Consul Wood expressed the opinion
that a straight case can be made out
against the Wahlburg, and has ad-
vised Minister Thurston on all the
facts relating to the seizure.

THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Favored by the Inter-oolonial Postal
Conference.

The inter-colonial postal confer
ence meeting at Hobarttown, Tas-
mania, reaffirming the desirability OF
mail service four times weekly be-
tween Australia and New Zealand
on the one side and Vancouver aud
San Francisco alternately on the
other.
A. j. Thyme, Post master. General
OF Queensland, moved that Great
Britain, Canada aud Australia, lay
and operate a cable from Vancouver
to Calounda in Queensland via Nec-
kar Island and the FIJI group, divid-
ing the expense equally among them.
If Neckar Island could not be got
under British control, he said, he
would substitute Tanning Island.
He proposed that a triple commits
sion conduct the financial part OF
the undertaking aud that Canada be
asked to continue her good offices
in promoting the enterprise.
Delegate Cookies amendment,
merely reatlirmed that the cable
wasI desirable aud urging the govern
ments concerned to take steps in
favor OF it, was carried.
The conference discussed also a
motion urging Victoria to recon
slider the withdrawal OF the guaran-
tee. Premier Ward proposed a
yearly agreement with the Eastern
Company, guaranteeing a revenue
OF Ell, 600 aud restoring any loss
below the same il it should not ex-
coed 10000. He proposed also to
guarantee revenue from the New
Zealand cable. The proposal was
submitted to the company.
