2ULKY Pillow COMFY, Limited,
0 PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Paid Ian. 8, 1878, by John Mcbride.
Manufactured by GOodell & Waters, Pha-
!. delphf.

In 1873 an attachment for a common pillow was
invented by practical farmer, that can in ten
minutes be connected with any ordinary plOw,
which changes it at once into complete sulky
pillow. II consists of one large wheel which runs
upon the land side, Il smaller one under the beam,
and another that runs in the furrow behind the
plow. These wheels carry the weight of the pillow,
entirely removing the friction upon the bottom
and land side, one of which, together with the up
frrow its PROVIDED with an easy seat eaten enabling
the driver have at all times both his piow and
team under his control Once set its work is not
easily changed. The FflieciHg Of tie piOip from he

right or hand pillow, and when properly attach
cd, any one, male or female, who is old enough To
manage team, can perform as good work as the
most skillful plowman can do without it, a saw
ing of 10 per cent. of the druught is guaranteed
II is simple in construction, durable, easily at
tached to the pillow, and in every way perfectly adj
Unstable. 1t is attached by means of clamps and
bolts, without cutting on boring the beam, and can
be placed in position for IL days ora weeks plow-
ing in ten minutes by any one with sense enough
TO handle a common walking pillow. In going to or
leaving the field the pillow is raised by lever, and
the driver can ride as easily as on any of the eX-
pensve sulky plows. Its cost is SO low that any
one having two or more acres to pillow, cannot az
ford to be without one.

Fashion Notes.

The new winter cloaks are particular
ly elegant. They take the form of the
long visite, the nlantel, dolman and the
pelisse. The pelisse is a warm, useful
wrap for riding, the visite and dolman
styles are more dressy, and reserved for
elegant fabrics.
A novelty in silk ties is in two colors,
and is woven so that the brighter color
is raised in box plaits running length
wise of the scarf Toward the ends the
plaits fall out loosely, and the fold of
each is ornamented with a tendrill or
vine and bud or blossom.
Velvet is not yet seen much in cloaks,
but it is more largely employed as trim
ming, and for children, than for several
seasons previous. 1t is 10y far the most
durable and becoming mounting for a
wooden costume, and is very much used
upon seal brown and the rich bronze
shades.
Kid lace, as an ornament for the top
Of gloves, is a great improvement upon
black or white thread, or point lace, at
least so far as durability is concerned.
Real lace upon gloves is a most useless
extravaganza, as it can only be used a
very short time, and is liable every mo-
ment to accident in getting them on.

Church Oyster SteWs.
New York Herald

At last the church oyster stew and it's
price have been mentioned in court-to-
wit, in the course of the Hayden trial.
A young man who was summoned as a
witness in the Hayden trial had been at
church entertainment given by Pastor
Hayden's church, and, like various other
unwary youths, had ordered an oyster
stew. Although cross examination did
not discover the exact ingredients and
proportions OF the dish there is no
reason to doubt that the time honored,
orthodox church entertainments recipe
had been followed, which same mixes
three small oysters, three-quarters of a
pint of warm water, and powdered
cracker together, and makes fifty cents
the minimum price, Young men
extortion for the sake of winking at the
pretty girl who usually serves the stew
and collects the money but there seems
to have been no girls accompanying the
refreshments ON the occasion alluded to.
The money was collected by the pastor
and who cares to spend fifty cents for
three oysters and a chance to skylark
with preacher?
Givers of church suppers cannot hope
to justify the church oyster stew by the
plea that the gospels and epistles say
nothing against it. When the gospels
we're being written there were no church
debts to be paid off, no new Cushions to
be bought for the seats or carpets for
the middle aisle, SO there was no need Of
church entertainments. The churches
and individuals to whom the epistles
we're written had too many serious
broils and stews of their own to think
If victimizing other people with three
drowned oysters at fifty cents. Besides,
5he apostles and fathers of the the
Church talked more of sinners than of
particular sins, and the way in which an
apostle writes about extortioners, and
he place he assigns them as a final
'esidence, certainly have their special
bearings upon the compounders Of the |
traditional church oyster stew. Let the |
.ulity beings repent ere it is too late +:
epent while oysters are yet cheap, for
hey cannot hope to hide their iniauity
~ getting behind clerical or girlish |
for all these are blissfullly
gnorant of values of every kind. Let
hem serve such stews as they would
lot be ashamed to offer st. Paul il he
Tere still visiting the various churches
nd enjoying their hospitality; then if
hey charge fifty cents they will only be
xacting two prices, and every one
xpects to suffer that much at church
without saying anything
bout it,

Saved by n Watch Case.

Wood Yantis, of Bardstown, KY, has
some interesting relics of his grand
father, Jacob Yantis, who died in 1880,
aged seventy-six. One is silver watch
nlort than one hundred years old, which
was brought to this country from Ger
many by his grandfather, when he was
quite young man. 1t is almost of
spherical shape, of the "bull-eye" pat
tern, and was made by William Plum
ly of. London. The watch was for a
long time the only time piece in the old
fort at Harrodsburg, and to it Mr.. Yantis
once owned his life.
He had gone to the Blue Licks in com
pany it is said with Boone and Others
for salt, and having become separated
from his companions, was discovered
and pursued by Indians. Finding himself
about to be overtaken by the redskins,
he drew out his watch, hastily detached
the outer case and dropped it to the
ground, hoping its brightness would at
tract the attention OF his pursuers while
he could make good his escape. Such
was the fortunate result of the strata
gem, and lie succeeded in reaching the
fort in salty. He afterward had a new
case made in Baltimore.

Masonic swindler.
Lake Charles Echo.l

A day or two ago the secretary of
Lake Charles lodge, No. 1855, F. and
A. NJ, received a letter from the
secretary Of Petaluma, lodge, No. n,
California, inquiring into the standing
of w. Willie, claiming to be a member
Of Linwood lodge, No. 1877, Lake Charles,
La. Linn Wood lodge, No. 1877, is il
New Orleans.
This w. Willie, alias Prof. Willie.
with probably hundred other aliases,
is one Of the most notorious masonic
impostors and sWindlers in America.
He was here about a year ago. Since
then he has obtained money from va
rions masons abroad, giving them
orders on masoms here, which, Of
course, We're worthless. Willie is tall,
has trick OF opening one eye (his
weather eye, presumably much wider
than the other, has dark complexion
and black hair, is familiar with every
one, is quick spoken, and is very
fond OF Whiskey, billiards, and games
of chance. His photograph ought to be
in the possession of every American
lodge.
