The old-fashioned coat collar has become
obsolete. 1t was piece OF mechanism that
was fearfully and wonderfully made ter
ror to the old-time taylor and wonderful in
the construction. Once made there was no
break in it nor any getting out of shape. II
resembled a modern horse-collar, reversed.
with the heavy aud broad part covering the
back part of the head and well I'D omit and
the narrow part coming down to a nice point
in front. II required tailor about day 10

well ordered swallow-tail. He hal to stitch
and double stitch them, soap the buckram,
the canvas and other materials entering into
the cloth building, which was anywhere from
half to three-quartsrs OF an inch in thick
ness. II was sure TO lie down aud keep its
place. 1t would never get on its ear. how
ever much 1t might endanger the ear of the
wearer
In the days of this old coat ornament there
was no such thing as man running around
with his collar standing up back of his head
as though be were mad OF had been prema-
turely FASTENED out of bed by FIRE. This psf-
ticular collar was as firm in its place as the
everlasting hills, and even after the moth,
time and the usual wear and tear had done
their work, it remained a monument OF the
endurance, patience and skill OF its artist.
Even after the cloth had disappeared the su-
perstructure Of the collar would spread Itself
out as a useless cumberer of the ground, de-
flying decay and dissolution.
These old fashioned coat collars were not
without their uses, and more particularly on
a sultry Sunday. In its day and generation
it had old fashioned things TO deal with,
such as high backed pews in churches and
extraordinarily high pulpits, which were
about as near the ceiling as the foor TWAS
under these circumstances that this particu-
lar collar came into play. The wezrer could
hook it on 10 the back Of the pew, Law back

One OF these old time coat collars is
scarcely seen now, except on some one who

As the winter steals upon Us, so do the

APPLETON, Mimi, Dec. 25.-The formal
grand opening OF the new SIC, 900 Syndicate
hotel took place last evening. 1t was not
only the event of the season here, but was
the grandest affair Of Its kind the city has
ever witnessed. Invitations were out long
enough in advance TO enable sll to make the
elaborate preparations which combined to
lend elegance and beauty 10 the scene. A
grand banquet and dance comprised the fes

about 100 couples, some OF whom had come
long distances 10 attend. The bill Of fare,
comprising all the delieacies Of the season,

Praises for the Nicarauguan Treaty.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 26.-The Picaytne
In double loaded leader. speaking of the
American policy and the Nicaraugaan treaty,
saws:
''The country is ripe from an entirely new
departure, one worthy of our great nation,
and one that will stamp itself upon the whole
history of North America We must adopt a
policy of acquisition of territorial agrandize-
ment to the southwark. 1t need not be ac-
complished by an armed invasion or inaug-
'urated in blood. The Nicarauguan treaty is
opening wide the door. Let us be active at
home, and by investing one hundred
millions in a ship canal there secure the
country. American enterprise will soon
annex the whole of central America from
that base of line.
1t concludes: Sectional discord has hap
PLY ceased. The south is primarily and
deeply interested in turning the tendency Of
the enterprise of the empire southwark, and
her statesmen, by at once championing a
bold and brilliant policy in that direction,
will open up new era for the entire coun-
try, and mop out short and safe road to
prosperity and continued national growth,
insure tranquility at home, and add to the
glory OF our great republic.
