NEWS LINEN COLLARS.


when . Certain style Tskes Manufacturers
ut Ones haven't . New One.
There is something strange about
the way Of linen collar manufactur-
ers, said the proprietor Of q gentle
mems furnishing goods store yester-
day. mo sooner does the public be-
gin to like q particular make Of collar
than the manufacturers of the favorite
line stops making 1t and begins to turn
out something of a different style. The
collar manufacturers seem to operate
on the idea that the public likes novel;
ties. So it does in most things, but
our experience has been that the great
majority Of our customers form a
preference for particular kinds Of col
lars and when the manufacturers stop
making them and go into new styles
they grumble. There are SO many
short necked people who like low col
lars on account Of the comfort they get
out Of them that they complain might
lily when they have to e deep col
lars simply because the manufacturers,
after turning out the low ones for
awhile, stop making them and dictate
to the collar wearing public that it
must try a new style. l have often
wondered why the collar manufacturer
did not stick to particular styles when
he found they We're popular instead of
flying off at a tangent at something
else when he. must necessarily know
that he was making money out of the
popular line of goods. ~ Philadelphia

That Highway Of NmtIOns.

The broad Atlantic, is ever a stormy thorough
fare. Yet blow the winds ever SO fercely, and
Tide the waves ever SO lOftily, seaInen must
man the good ships, tourists will brave the
passage, and commercial travellers and buyers
must visit the centres Of foreign trade and man
~ufacture. That atrocious malady, seasickness,
together with colicky pains and much inward
unetisiness is often endured when Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters would have fort flied the yoy-
ayers against them. Sea captains. and in fact
all old salts and veteran travellers are acquaint-
ed with the protective value Of this estimable
preventive and remedy, and are rarely unpro-
vided with it. Emigrants to the far West should
use 1t as a safeguard against malaria. Seek I g
aid OF the Bitters for dyspepsia, constipation,
liver complaint, kidney troubles and ali all,
ments that impair the harmonious and vigorous
action of the vital powers,

stars Of the first magnitude in the con.

they were two plain boys, IONS Of plain
people, with the blood and iron of our

born on the northern and one on the
southern side of the Ohio river, one Of
New England and the other of Virgin
ia ancestry. Favored by no educated
eminence, patrician grace, social dis
~tinction, or adventurous fortune, they
became the representative men of the
shrewd intelligence, the brave good
ness, the enduring faith of the common
people and of their common universal
cause of libetry and union; and they
rank as of the legitimate nobility of
human nature, while their glory has
become a priceless possession that shall

its enemies in all the days that are to

On The 1850 Train.

They are a jolly lot, those suburban
passengers. who ride in the smoking
car Of the 4:50 train. They always
have yarns to spin and jokes to perpe-
trate on each other.
Now, there is a smooth faced lawyer
who always wears a SLOUGH hat and
knows everybody from n end of the
train to the other.
"A few of us were out on a little bat
last Saturday night-just a harmless
little frolic." said he yesterday, land
do think | had more fun than | ever
got out of any single evening since
used to steal watermelons. Tom
Evans was with us, and what that fel.
low cant do to cOnjure up for fun
isn't worth talking about. We were
going along Madison street when Tom
spied a blind man selling DR.. Some
bOdy's celebrated cough drops.
Say said Tom as he bought a pack
age from him, why don't you go over
where the crowd ISL
Where's that?' said the blind man.
why, right over here; come on I'll
show you.'
So he led the poor chap around on
one Of those dark, deserted streets
where not a soul passes once in two
hours.
There said Tom, placing him. you
stand right here and you will sell more
cough drops in ten minutes than you
would sell in a week over where you
were
Then Tom came down where he
motioned us to stop, and we went, one
by one, past the blind man. Every
time he heard one of us coming he
cried his wares and the passers stop
ped and bought a package. AS soon
as one had passed he would 60 out in
the road and walk back. For half an
hour we five kept a solid procession
passing that blind man, and every
passer bought a package of cough
drops. We bought him out slick and
much in all my life before"
What did you do with the cough
drops?" asked the dignitied insurance
