Some time ago there was an
item going the rounds of the
press in the United States to
the effect that a young lady,
who was i'll, wanted to secure
one million postage stamps, to
give physician who had pro-
missed to cure her on receipt of
them. The girl who did that
was man, and he was deluged
with stamps; then he came to
Hawaii and he is here yet.
While he was collecting postage
stamps, little Dolly Washburn
was on another lay. She want
ed to save her poor dear mother
all the time she could around
baking days, so she invented an
egg separator, which takes the
yolk from the white with the
greatest ease. The separator
sells for 80 cents and Dolly has
already made enough out of it
to employ good cook and live
in New York.
In this country most servants
light fires with the assistance of
kerosene. Those who live
through it get along all right,
but they waste lots of oil. We
have contrivance whereby oil
may be saved and all danger of
explosion may be averted. The
price is little.
Mr.. Paxton must have been
a man who hung around the
kitchen good deal, for he has
given to the world combina-
ton dipper, strainer and funnel,
that is about a cute as anything
ever seen in the kitchen. You
can strain soups, milk and other
things or you can have a dipper
or funnel combined, for a
quarter.

this morning, and was held to await the
grand jury in the sum of $4,000 for each
offense. He was, OF course, unable to give
bail in so large sum, and was locked up
again.
Stokes maintained the sullenness in the
dock that has characterized his actions since
his arrest, and hestated at some length be-
fore entering any plea. After Mr.. Hartnett,
who appeared with his head bandaged, had
given tile court an insight into the heinous-
ness OF the negro's attack, the prisoner
muttered that he was guilty. 1t was one
of the largest bonds ever fixed in police
court
Stokes struck Mr.. Hartnett. his former
employer; on the head with a hatchet as
he appeared in his hallway at 1 O'Clock at
night He wore a blue cloth over his face
as mask. When arrested a short time
afterward a revolver was found in bis
possession.
"Let me see it, said Judge Miller, as
the weapon. thirty-eight caliber bulldog,
was produced in court, II don't find any
number or letters on this to indicate who
sold il. I want the Officers to look into
this and find the man that sold this re-
volver. See If he has registered the sale.
