The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-01-04

The advent Of the North German
Lloyd company upon the trade routes
of, the Pacific ocean was foreshadowed
two years ago and may be realized
scon.. The North German Lloyd. as
most of our readers know, is one of the
greatest steamship lines in the world.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and the
Deutschland are the queens of it's fleet
and other sea-soyereigns are building.
China's opening and the German es-
adjustment in Shantung account in
the main for the present enterprise and
are sign of what may follow in case
the sea coast of the great Asiatic en-
pire passes permanently into European
hands. 1t is not too much to expect
that in the course of couple of years,
if not sooner, Honolulu will have mail
steamer or transport at it's wharves
every two or three days.

A NOBLE WOMAN.

Asks for Union Label Shoes and Con-
verts the Clerk.
On passing through the shoe depart
ment of q department store the other
day we heard the following dialogue
between a lady customer and the sales.
man:
The Customer-"I want pair Of
union label shoes"
Salesman-"I am very sorry, lady, but
they do not put the label on ladies'
shoes, as the best people who buy shoes
do not want the LABEL
The Customer-"I do not care any
thing about the best people. I know
that I buy just as good shoes as any
of them, and want the label, and If
you haven't any I will go where they
are sold, and If I can't get them in town
I am going to send away for them. I
must have the union label on my
Shoes"
Salesman-;'You are not d. consistent
union supporter; by sending away for
your shoes you are not supporting
home industry"
Customer-"You can not work that
home industry dodge on me. If you
want me to patronize your store you
must keep union label goods. NV hus-
band Is union man. Before he be-
longed to a union he worked long hours,
Sundays and holidays. His wages were
poor, and our home was anything but
pleasant. Now his wages are better.
He has more time to spend at home.
and we are getting along better than
ever. A union did this for our home,
and believe it Is my Christian duty
to encourage every person to join q
union, and I intend doing this in q
practical way by demanding union label
goods-and by the way, have you card
in the Clerks pnion?'
Salesman-'I have not, but you have
put the question to me in such a light
that I shall Join the Clerks union at
its next meeting: I think you have
made a convert of me. and I want to
apologize for accusing you of being in

She is a noble little woman, and the
wife of a union man who does not hold
an office in a labor organization. He
has been doing some work at home
that is certainly doing the whole cause
some good. Give us more union men
like him. and q thousand more noble
little women.
No doubt the store is now trying to
find where ladies' union union label
shoes are made, and will file an order
for some as soon as it finds out.

For the present the plans are not fully

within the lines Of truth. We shall in
dulge in no speculative theories, but
make deductions only from official

kulnatology.


There is a new science, whose name
n "kumatology." and whose scope is the
study Of all the waves and waye-struc-
lures Of the earth. The main idea on
which it is built is that from the higher
limits of the atmosphere to the inner
core of the earth, waves run through the
entire field Of geography. Mountain
folds are earth waves-the clouds are
often but the waves of the air made Wis
wherever sought, are to be found other
waves, governed by laws that are mostly
unknown, and that await mans careful
study before their nature will be re-
veaied. "A vast, deep, and an absorb
matology;'' yet it is to great extent
made up by the observation of the com
monplace. Opportunities for studying #
abound on every hand; mans lifetime
would be required to solve the secrets
of all the waves that await the light of

Stories of Ivory in Africa.

Only small proportion of the ivory
annually exported from the Congo is TAX
en- directly from newly-killed animals.
Thus, duri"g 1890, of the 29.9S5 tmsks
sold on the Antwerp market, $3.50 alone
came from freshly-kilIed animals, the re-
manning p ,446 tusks being what the M

the aborigines have been collecting ele
plant tusks, which they considered rs
having little intrinsic value. but useful
merchants were the first to discover these
hidden reserves of ivory. Later on the
Zanzibar traders rushed on to Katango~
and thence to the very heart of the Con,
co. with the result that the ivory trade
soon became the principal industry Of
