on the occasion of the laying of the corner
stone of the beautiful church of that name
at Forest Glen, in Montgomery county.
Md. The stone was laid by Cardinal Glib
bons May H. 1898. The phrase quoted sur
prised many, and there was some criticism
in the history of the church in this section,
for before the days of the revolution there
Were Catholic churches in lower Maryland.
But the remark may not be regarded as
extravagant when the services of Father
John Carroll, the founder of St Johns to
the church and the country are recalled

Father Carroll. the son of Daniel and
Eleanor Carroll, was born in Marlboro Prince
Georges county, Nd. in 1875. He attended
school on the eastern shore. after which
he was sent to France. where he finished
his education, and in 1859 became priest,

CELLULOID COLLARS.
Worn by All Sorts of PeOple-Cellu-
lOid Cuffs and BOsOms.

Worn by All Sorts of PeOple-Cellu-
lOid Cuffs and BOsOms.
From the New York Sun.
"Nabobs and mechanics" said a man IA
miliar with the trade, in answer to the
question Who wears celluloid collars?'
Men playing golf" he continued, wear
them, and so do horseback riders and bicy-
clists and military men on parade. How
many policemen were there in line in the
last parade of the city police force? Five
thousand? Well, 1 think it would he safe
to say that 1850 of them wore ceIluioid co..
lars.
Railroad men wear cellulod collars and
so do travellers, for that matter. Musicians
wear them, AMI they are worn by theatrical
people.
In walking down Broadway you might
meet hundred men wearing celuloid col
lars: all sorts of men, that is men in all
sorts Of calings. With the greater number
of these men the reason for wearing a cell
luloid collar would undoubtedly be found in
It's economy; but many among them wear
celluloid collars in the city for the same
reason that the traveller does out of it,
simply because it is the easiest and most
convenient way of keeping this part of
ones apparel in perfect and slightly condi-
ton.
"Celuloid collars have been made for
twenty-five years or more, but never in
as appearances go, you couldn't tell now
adays. unless you were to get close up to 1t
and inspect it carefully, whether II man s
collar was celluloid or not. Celluloid col
lars you understand, are now made not
only in all sizes. but also in dozens of styles,
including the most up-to-date designs.
More women wear celluloid collars now
adays than formerly. Celluloid collars are
worn by children. Speaking generally, in
proportion to the population there are more
celluloid collars worn in the country than
in the city, but there are many worn in
cities, by men, women and children. l dom t
mean to say that everybody on earth is
wearing celluloid collars by any means; but
there's a lot of EN- worn. and more and
more of them sold all the time. 1t is an ar
ticle of luxury, of utility and of economy.
And celuloid collars are exported to Eu-
rope. South America and various other
parts of the world.
"Of course there are celluloid cuffs, too,
and in various styles, but the cuffs are not
SO commonly worn the collars, and, with
fewer new styles produced in cuffs, there
are correspondingly fewer sold. There are
also made. in closed and in open front, and
In different styles as to size and manner of
finish, celluioid shirt bosoms.'

This suggestion met the approval of the
American priests, and meeting was held
at White Marsh. on the Patuxent river. at
which memorial with form of govern

his approval. a list of fourteen priests was
also sent for the guidance of the head of

The Hard Work Cure.

DR.. Pye-Smith, in an address before the
British Medical Association, prescribed hard
work as remedy for many ills. He de-
clared that regular and steady work is the
best cure for thousand nervous ailments,
and that this is true is shown by the fact
that the Woodworking people are not those
who are affected by these ills. He declared
tension are too often synonyms for the eff

A blower is at taehed to one end of the tube, near which is feeding hopper, the other end being connected to dust settling chamber. The intention is to blow the finely crushed and absolutely dry ore through the spiral and over the mercury pools. These latter are dashed about, and sprayed by the action of the air current, and the particles of ore are brought into contact with the mercury, which amalgamates aud re turns the gold.
