kind that has ever come to our notice,

other cyclopedias. 1t comes in three
volumes, handsomely bound in morocco.
There is everything in it that one wants
to know, it is American and it is modern
and more likely to contain the desired
information than the high priced ones.
The cost is but $40.

Chas. F. Percival has invented
what is known as a pillow-sham re
mover. This thing, so greatly needed
. in the world, picks up the shams
: carries them round behind the head
e board and hides them safely away il
: a receptacle where they are kept SAT
and clean. If the invention stopped
e here, we are sure every man il
t America, who has ever had an en-
J, counter with a sham, would buy on
at sight, but unfortunately by a turl
: of the crank the slippery thing cal
be brought from its hiding place AM
: spread out ready for another day
work in twinkling. Mr.. Percivar
invention is in the line of morals a
well as convenience. If there is any
. thing in this world specially provoca
: tive of profane intersections, it
the sham. When the poor, weary
. patient husband seeking his bed dis
Il covers for the thousandth time tha
y the upper half of it is plastered wit
shams, and he proceeds as heretofol
o to hang them on the head-boart
d wash-stand, diaper-rack, sofa, lamp
g boots-anything, all to no effect, no
terribly exasperating it is to hes
n that shrill voice ringing through til
" house, shusband, what on earth al
