THE PAPER COLLAR.
Decay of n Once Immensely Popular Ar
tlcie of Wearing Apparel.

tIcie of Wearing Apparel.
There was time when the paper
collar reigned supreme. 1t encircled
the masculine neck from Maine to Cali
fornia, and attained great popularity rs
an article of feminine attire; neSted in
boxes of every variety of color and
style of adornment, it added attraative-
ness to the furnishing-store windows; in
its decaying stages it filled cutters, lent
vanity to ash heaps and dotted the
landscape along the line of every rail-
road in the country, dividing honors
across the Western plains with tho tin
can. Its stronghold was in the crowded
metropolis, but its trail extended into
tho remotest backwood district 1t
would seem, considering this immense
popularity, that Mr.. Mesercle, the in
ventor of the collar, must have been in
sured against poverty for the rest of
his days, but such, it seems, is not the
case. A bigamy trial in New York, in
which member of the family is in
volved, brings out the fact that the
wealth which accrued from the patent
has, like the collar itself, vanished, no
man can say whittier; that the Mese-
roles have nothing left but character,
and if the bigamy trial is an indication,
not much of that. Perhaps there is n
retrib0Aion in this. Western Bookseller.

Manitoba's Census.

The census of Manitoba. which was
taken July 81, 1886, has recently been
published. 1t shows that the popula-
ton of the province, which in April,
1881, was 65, 954, had increased to l08,-
GAO. The gain of 1886 in five years
was at the rate of $500 year. De-
ducting the natural increase of the
population, the result would show an
influx of immigrants at the rate of
about 5000 year A table of the
birth-places shows that S4,124, were
born in the province; 10, 1929 in England
and Wales, 3,621 in Ireland, 5.9S2 in
Scotland, "a, 1S0 in Ontario, 1913 in
Quebec, 1917 in Nova Scotia, 704 in
New Brunswick, 1870 in Prince Edward
Island, and 500 in the Territories. OF
the total population OF 10S,640, 42,843

of Canada. How some of the principal

individuals may be poor in conse
quence of their work not being of ma
ture, or performed under circumstances
calculated TO produce wealth. A mar
may be attached TO somo particular
spot of ground, and may prefer working
there for small earnings TO working
anywhere else for larger earnings. HC
may be attached to n particular trade
which he will not quit, though othel
men no better than himself are gaining
double the sum by other employments.
He may persist in working with anti.
quated tools, while prices have beer
reduced in consequence of the genera
use of improved instruments. He may
work ut things which his fellow-crea-
lures do not care for, or have recently
ceased to care for, and which, there
fore, for the present at least, can not
be considered rs wealth. Left with tho
unbought articles on his hands, he is
as poor as If he did not work at all. Or
he may exert himself in opposition to
natural difficulties which he is not able
to contend with, as in cultivating bad
land, or in trying to raise grain where
nature has said there should only be
pasture. OF all these kinds of sclf-pro-
duced poverty we have numerous in
stances in every community. They
spring from peculiaritics in the human
mind which reason has failed to con-
troll, and suffering is as much their un-
avoidablo consequence rs it is of idle
ness or wasteful expenditure.
individuals, without idleness or mis-
conduct, or any other of the above
means of producing poverty, may
nevertheless be poor, in consequence
of the greatness of their domestic bur-
dcns in proportion TO their utmost
earnings. He who realizes fair wages,
with four or five mouths besides his
own to feed, must necessarily be q
poorer man, all other circumstances
being equal, than he who has only to
support himself with the same earnings.
The former may be the happier man
and the better citizen; but he must also
be the poorer at least while his family
continues dependent on him. II is de-
sirable that all men should be married,
and no country can be considered in a
right state where celibacy is forced on
any; but yet, where such is the order of
things, many who marry must find that
u family is cause Of poverty. The
utmost efforts should be made to make
marriage a source of fear to none; but
until this is done, the less able laborers
in each department. can only marry at
the risk of poverty. Such an act, in
their case, becomes liable to be classcd
With several of the above causes of self
produced poverty-excepting that it is
one so accordant with the good feelings
ofmankind that, as an imprudence, it
will always be lightly blamed. M Y

HE ENGLISH HANaMAN.
Ho Tells of Ills Various struggles to Reach
His Present Emlnence.


James Berry. the public executioner,
has taken advantage of n recent pro-
fessional visit to Chelmsford to conlldo
to reporter number of particulars
regarding himself, his family and his
profession. Some of his confessions arc
Of kind on which persons of good
taste would hardly care to dwell;
others are comparatively void Of of
fense and undoubtedly curious. There
seems reason TO suspect that political
sympathics have had something to do
with the choice Of this highly respecta-
bic organ, of East Anglian Conserya-
tism Us the medium of these condolences.
In other words, james Berry is, accord
ing TO his own declaration, "a Conserv-
ative through and through" iu that
regard differing from a brother of his
(of whom more anon) who is, or rather
was, "a Liberal, and in favor of
abOlishng capitalpunishment." Berry,
we gather, stands No. II in the list Of
u lamily of twcnty-onc children. 1t
will hardly surprise any one TO learn
that his friends did not approve Of
his choice of profession. but all
right-fccling persons will be shocked
to hear of the disastrous indirect
effects of James Berry's abnormal
inclinations upon his afflicted relatives.
Questioned on this delicate subject, he
replied. mournfully; "lt killed my
mother and brother" Then, with an
apparently morbid pleasure in harrow
ing details, he went ON to say: "Whcn
Marwood died was appointed in his
place, and directly my mother knew
Of it she was taken i'll. My fathers
solicitor then wrote the Home Office
informing the authorities of this. The
result was that gave up the position,

was the brother who was "a LIBERAL

punishment" 1t must be confessed
that this unfortunate member Of tho
Berry family could hardly have given
more emphatic proof of his dislike of
the hangman's Office 1t is to be hoped
that we have here reached the final
incident in this ghastly tale, though

BLONDES AND sRUNETTEs.
The Gradual Decrease of the Former n
Central European Countries.

The Gradual Decrease OF the Former In
Central European Countries.
A highly interesting question is be-
ing agitated in Europe. 1t has been
asserted that there has been gradual
decrease of blondes in Germany. AL
most 10000 school children were
examined in Germany, Austria and
Belgium, and the result showed that
Switzerland has only lilo, Austria
1879 and Germany 31.S0 per cent of
pure blondes. Thus the country, which
since the days of ancient Rome has
been proverbially known as the home
of yellow hair. has to-day only 32 pure
blondes in 100, while the average of
pure brunettes is ii per cent. The So
per cent. of the fixed type are said to
be undergoing transformation into
pure brunettes. Dr. Bruce, in England
has collected number of statistics
which seem to point in the same direc-
tion. Among 725 women he examined,
he found $50 brunettes and 357 blondes.
OF the brunettes he found that rs per
cent were married, while of the blondes
only 68 per cent were married. Thus
it would seem the brunette had ten
chances of getting married in England
TO blondes nine. In France SINH
lar view has been put forth by NJ. Adolph
de Candolle. NJ de Candolle found
that When both parents have eyes of
the same color, S9 per cent inherit this
color But it is curious fact that
more females than males have black or
brown eyes to the proportion of 45 to
4S. II seems that with different colored
eyes in the two parents, 53 per cent.
follow the father in being dark-eyed.
An increase Of five per cent of dark
eyes in each generation must tell in the
course Of time. Science.
