Such an invention is Stemberger’s Folding Dress -Ptilow, lor which many a good lady blesses the invention. It is a simple and unobtrusive device, but it d'es away with the old style bulky and inconvenient pillow, and its economy ol space commends it to those who find themselves ‘ burdened with an abundance oi riches” in the way of household goods. When we say it is ‘•intbtrusive” it will he seen that it is quite the reverse of the ordinary pillow whiph has a capacity foi always being in ti e way. —See the advertisement in another column. The story is told of Barnes, the senior counsel for the defense in the Hill-Sharon oase, that on one occasion, more than a dozen years ago, it was necessary to have certain papers served on a bank in the Hawaiian capital in a hurry. A war steamer was to leave San Francisco that evening for the island. Barnes had himself engaged as paymaster’s clerk and sailed on her. Whan his adversaries’ attorneys reached Honolulu they found Barnes already in possession, although they had come on the first regular mail steamer. ——— ——— f Those “new clocks” at Kannal’s are fine, and he sells them cheap.
