MAKING MEMS COLLARS.
Hsw It Is Done In One OF the Great Fac
tories Mt Troy, N. Y.

tories Mt Troy. N. Y.
A dozen or moro operations are
needed to make gentleman's shirt
collar and no person plays more than
one part. The cutters, who never
strike, because they are we'll paid,
arc the most important factors in the
trade. They are magical workers.
Each man has his table upon which to
spread layer upon layer of linen.
When the pile is as thick as he wants
he puts upon it his little pattern block
of wood, whirls a sharp, thin blade of
steel as fast as the eye can follow the
movement and leaves beneath the
block the dismembered shapes of a
score of collars. So skillful is he that
he can make the cuttings close enough
together to leave only threads of linen
wasted. The pieces that he cuts out
are sent to the factory hands, are call
ed for by silk clad ladies in carriages
and are taken home by school girls.
One set of workers sew the pieces
together, another set simply turn the
collars inside out after the manner of
sl1ining cells for these collars are sew.
ed the wrong way OUT, another set
make the buttonholes, and then there
are the .laundresses, washers, ironers,
sorters. stampers and many more be-
sides.
The buttonhole makers and the
stitchers all use sewing machines run
by power, and this power is often sup
piled in an interesting way. A sort
of turbine is attached to an ordinary
kitchen faucet so arranged as to emit
o thin thread of water, which, despite
its slenderness, furnishes power to run
the machine. Some women control
half dozen, or even a dozen, ma
chimes at their homes. The machines
are run by larger turbines and oper-
ated by girls, on whose industry the
speculative matrons make small per-
centage of the profits.
Every operator at home, except the
larger ones, owns her machines and
motor and has spent $50 or perhaps
500 to set herself up in business. The
factories used to supply the thread as
well Us the linen, but recently the en-
ployers took to making more than Or
binary or legitimate profits by selling
the thread to the woman and specula-

ed that some women wasted the thread,
but the truth is they were diseased by
greed. They sold small spools until
one firm laid in stock of large spools,
which they made their hands buy al
So apiece.
Shopkeepers' wives and daughters,
the women in distant households, the
the girls in the houses of the mould
crs and puddlers along the river
between Troy and Albany. and
in short, most of the working
women within a great radius, make
either pin money or entire live
ihood from this industry. Steady
work brought from $40 to $1S week,
but, of course, the women who had
house work to attend to and girls who
went to school were satisfied with just
enough for little lineries and extrava-

The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal cataTh must be
non-irritating, easy of application, and one
that will, by its own action, reach all the re-
mote sores and liberated surfaces. The
history of the efforts to treat catarrh during
the past few years obliges MS to admit that
only one remedy has completely met these
conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm.
This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has done, and both
physicians and patients freely concede this
fact. The more distressing symptoms
quickly yield to it.

The Paris Exhibition, though still
not complete, is sufi GENTLY so for
the critics who are daily publishing
their impressions, sometimes, we fear,
with a strong wish to concIIiate indi-
Vidual exhibitors. Corrupt or honest,
able Or foolish, they all, however
concur in two judgments. One is ,
that the Exhibition in too big, tina
the variety Of displays is too distract
ing, and that visitors are bewildered
by the difficulty OF finding their way
about. Even the crowds are too
great, and with 10000 visitors in
one day, there may at some un-
lucky moment he a catastrophe
The second judgment is, that the
Exhibition contains nothing absolute
~ original, no new invention of
moment, no entirely novel application
of thought We 10 design. he best
OF everything is there, aud of course
educates those who observe closely ;
but there is nothing, rot even u
machine, which will forward the
case Of human progress. The huge
show IS, in fact, a museum of the
things Of the day, which may be use
tul, but is not stimulating. As u
speculation, however, the affair viii
succeed, the crowd of persons with
cheque-books drawn to Paris to enjoy
themselves or to purchase being tar
beyond the high st expectation, uni
including not only nj! peoples of
Europe and America, but of Asia.

The worst railway accident ever re-
ported from Ireland occurred on The
18th inst; ON the great Northern line.
An excursion had been arranged on
that day for the Sunday school chill
dren OF Armagh, and at $50 a train
of fifteen carriages left the station,
laden with a thousand boys and
girls and their teachers and friends.
1t was soon perceived hat the engine
was not strong enough for It's work,
aud about two miles from the town
near the top of "a steep incline, the
train came to a stnndstiIl. Accord
ing to the officials, the couplings broke;
according to all Independent witness
es, the driver and guard uncoupled
the last seven carriages, propping"
that section with a stone Or two
under the wheels. The section with
the engine then moved on, and the
section left behind, Jarred by the
jerk, knocked aside the stones and
rolled back towards Armagh down
the incline, Gathering speed from
its own weight, it dashed on at forty
miles an hour, and crashed into a
slowly moving train just come out
of Armagh. Two of the carriages
were telescOped, and eighty children
and grown-up persons were killed,
sixty more being seriously injured.
The scene was SO indescribably
shocking, that a carman named
Hughes, who came up to assist, died
of horror at the sight. Assist ance of
every kind was Immediately procur-
ed, the neighbourhood turning out
for miles -; but nothing could be done
except for the wounded, and the
the whole town is plunged in grief and
mourning. The officials appear to
