So many different styles of
oil stoves have been put on
the market during the past
ten years, that it was with
difficulty that the best could
be determined until the
PrimuS was introduced a
year ago. This style burns
a kerosene vapor and is nom
explosive; yon can turn it
upside down and no danger
will result.
The oil tank cannot be fill
ed while burning as the re-
moVal of the filler cap eX-
tinguishes the flame in
stantly. In point of Simpli-
city it has no equal for it has
no wick, burns any grade Of
kerosene and the flame can
be regulated. 1t produces a
heat of from 2,Ioo deg. to
1900 deg.Fahr. ndconSumeS
one quart of oil in five hours
consecutive burning. This
means an expense of cents
per hour. Nothing but solid
brass is used in the manu-
facture of the Primus, and
when in operation it is abso-
lutely odorless. 1t will bring
quart of water to boiling in
3 minutes.
We have half dozen styles,
single, double and triple
burners; extensions for sim
giles so that three vegetables
may be cooked at once.
Soldering irons, flat iron
heaters, ovens and every
thing necessary to cook a

One of the county officials
at Portland, Saturday received
q present of a fine pickeral
end put it outside his window on the
ri to keep it cool until he went home.
A city official spied it and with a pole
pulled it off the window sill from be-
low, Then there was great fun seeing
the owner look for it. He afterwards
secured the fish and put it back in the
same place, this time keeping a sharp
watch on it. however. In spite of his
vigilance another county official stole
it again by using a step ladder and
cautiously reaching up for it. The thief
carried it into a neighboring office and
left it on the desk of an official who
loves a joke but who knew nothing
about this one. The owner of the fish
found it there soon after and accused
the occupant of the desk of stealing it,
while those in the secret were nearly
overcome with laughter. After this
gentleman found out the joke he spent
the rest of the afternoon trying to get
his hands on the fish, intending to steal
it in good earnest, but the owner this
time had locked it up in a safe, of
which no one had the key but himself.

A Merry Christmas.

There is no more beautiful custom
among Christian nations than that
which calls for proper observance of
Christmas-the anniversary of the
birth Of our Savior. 1t is right, too,
that it should be a day of special re-
3oicing and good will among men, for
certainly no event in human history
was fraught with greater moment to
all mankind, and none has ever
brought such hope and cheer into the
world. From this event we date those
higher ideals of Christianity which
hold men up of lofty conceptions of
duty, and lead them on in the pursu-
ance of noble aims and aspirations.
The coming of our Savior, too, incul-
Gated for all time the broadcast cOncep-
ton of the brotherhood of man and the
doctrine that children of the same
Heavenly Father should dwell together
in harmony and good will-the beauti-
full doctrine of Christian unity. At no
time should the existence of this spirit
among men be given more general
and visible expression than upon the
Christmas anniversary. Let it be day
of good deeds, of generous contribu-
tons to the happiness Of those about
us, and in this observance shall be
lessons of practical Christianity Of
more weight and practical results than
many spoken sermons or published
precepts.
We trust that no reader of the Jour
nal has been SO carried away by the
activities of busy life as to outgrow
a love for Christmas day and it's OBJ
servance. Let the heart be kept green,
and particularly should it be the aim
and effort of all older people to make
this day a delightful and memorable
one in the lives of the children. Let
them hug the sweet delusion of Santa
Claus to their. hearts as long as pos
sible, and let us do our part in en-
couraging their steadfast faith in the
good old saints generous interest in his
little friends. On such a day as this,
too, the worthy poor, who should al
ways claim the considerable care of
community, should be remembered
with special bounty.
Let us one and all celebrate this hap
py Christmas day in worthy manner.
and happiness of those about us, find
the greatest possible enjoyment and
happiness for ourselves.

A Modern Battle Of the Giants.

The past few weeks there has been
a battle royal between modern giants,
Messrs. Armour and Letter The in
terest may not have been very general
but the effects may be. Neither Of
these men are buying or selling to
make a profit on what the price of
wheat might be under normal condi-
tions but are buying with view to
affecting the price for their own pur-
poses and advantage. Letter has
bought more than a million dollars

wheat in December to force the seller.

tracts, to pay more for the wheat when
it is time for delivery, than the contract
price. Armour on the other hand seeks
to bring about the reverse condition
and is selling contracts expecting to
buy the wheat for delivery at cheaper
rates. The price is now high and
wheat is pouring into Chicago. This.

possible to keep it from forcing tine
price lower To just what extent this
sort of speculation may effect the
normal price of wheat is not clear.
There is the possibility that if the price
is run up too high. the idea may be-
come prevalent that it will be neces-
sary to substitute other grains and
thus the consumption may be affected.
On the other hand an impression might
go abroad that there is more wheat
than was estimated and thus depress the
price temporarily and affect those who
are led to sell under that price. Ger
tainly such speculation tends to de-
range business.
While young Mr. Letter has been

is known to be behind him. The elder

One More Hawaiian Debate.
(Boston Journal.)

Although Congress- having adjourned.
can now take no action on the subject un-
iii after the holidays. Hawaii continues
to hold large place in the public atten-
ton.
1t formed the topic of discussion before
the Boston boot and shoe club Wednes-
day evening. There were able speakers
on either side and 1t is significant that the
weight of authority once more inclined
heavily in favor of the cause of annexa-
ton. The opponents of the Mckinley
treaty and of the Republican policy were
the Hon. George S. Boutwell, and Moor
field Storey. Esq. both gentlemen who
are held in high esteem In the commu-
nifty. But their position was weakened
by the fact that neither of them speaks
from any especial acquaintance with Ha-
wall, while the two champions of annex
alton. Rear Admiral Belknap and the
Hon. Gorham ID. Gilman, were perfectly
fl miliar by long personal observation
with the islands. their resources. their
commercial and strategical advantages
ana the temper and composition of their
people.
In antagonizing annexation ex-Gov.
Boutwell, challenges "A policy which has
been formally indorsed by the Massachu-
sets Legislature speaking for the people
or the commonwealth. and was favored
as an ultimate result by the very admin
of the president in whose cabi-
net he sat as secretary of the treasury.
As far back as 1873 Secretary of State
Hamilton Fish. Mr.. Boutwell's own col
league, outlined with the approval Of
President Grant the very procedure upon
which President Mckinley is now enter
ing.
Both Mr.. Boutwell, and Mr. Storey de-
MED that the formal possession Of Ha-
wall was essential to the safety in time
of war of our Pacific seaboard. This of
course is purely technical naval and
question, and of course the
trained professional Judgment of men
like Rear Admiral Belknap and Capt.
Mahan is absolutely conclusive against
the opinion of civilians however emf
nent.
The more this issue of American or of
English Hawaii-and this is just what it
is. deny 1t is as you may-iS debated be-
fore the American people the more i'm
perative will become the demand that our
government act. and act at once. upon
