l dent suppose there is one paper collar

hundred. The celluloid collar makes a liz
tie heaaway, but the paper collar has fewer

paper collars then were higher than for
any article in the store, for men wore new
collars daily, and their very cheapness en-
gendered extravaganza in their use Hours
could Ice spent describing the evolution of
the paper collar. The first experiments
were with view to increasing the already
substantial popularity OF the article, but of
late years the attempt has been made to

wearing the collar which never wants

A Menu Card Made by the Camera.

An enthusiastic amateur Photographer
employs pretty process in producing a
Photographic menu card, so that when he
gives dinner he presents to each guest n
photograph of the house in which they are
sitting, or, if picnic, photograph of the
scenes they are going to visit. On this
card also appears the menu and the name
OF the host and hostess All that he does
to obtain this result is to leave on the card
SUFFICIENT space to write the menu, and
then prints the negative on a paper that
takes ordinary ink. The cards are neat
and instructive, and form valuable me

The methods by which seeds are elistrib
uted are most curious and interesting The
legume of the pea splits along its two mar
gins, the two halves falling away from
each other and throwing off the seeds in
various directions. The seed cases of the
pansy and of the violet explode, scattering
the seeds forcibly.
In the gorse and the broom sudden
burst of the pods and springlke twist OF
their two halves eifectually disperse the
contents. On sunny July days the crack
ing sounds produced by the bursting peri
carps may be distinctly heard The ma
ture fruit of Ecballum eaterium separates
from its stock and elects it's seeds With
great rapidity through the orifice left by
the rupture. The sporangia of many ferns
(bracken) have an elastic ring, which is
probably intended for the energetic dis
persal of the spores. In certain pines the
scales of the cone, when thoroughly dried
by the hot days of the summer following
that of its production, open with Jerk,
forcibly ejecting the winged seeds Ere
quently number will burst together, and
then the sound may be heard at great dis
tance.--Knowledge
