Auain the Hair.

The mans hair, at AZ, was so thick
and dark that it gave him an alb
normal and coarse look-the look
somehow, of the proprietor of a swind

millionaire banker.
"All this talk about the hair turn

II will be 80 years in December
since the death OF the woman who is
supposed to have founded the collar
industry in Troy, N. Y. AS 10000 per
sons are engaged In making collars
and cuffs there, and as the city pro-
duces nearly nine-tenths OF the collars
and cuffs made in this country. It is
evident that the distinction of start
ing the business is considerable. 1t
seems that Orlando Montague, n Troy
shoe manufacturer. was scrupulously
neat, and that his wife found the labor
OF washing his shirts burdensome.
The shirts OF the time had the collars
and cuffs attached, as have many fine
shirts to-day. To avoid washing the
whole shirt when only the collar was
solled, Mrs. Montague made detacha-
BILE linen bands tied round the neck
with tapes. Under this arrangement
her husband could put on a clean col
lar every morning and every evening
without compelling her to spend too
much time over the wash.tub. Her
neighbors followed her example, and
the demand for such collars was so
great that a Methodist minister, who
kept notion store in town. soon en-
ployed several women to make them,
while he peddled them from house to
house, Mr.. Montague saw that the
business might be profitable. and
opened a collar factory, where his
wifes invention was developed and ex
plotted Unlike many inventors, Mrs
Montague. through the prosperity OF
her husband, profited by her discov
cry.

END OF pEr DeresrArloN.
New Yorker Finally Rid &C the Dis
pissed High Hat.

There IS n certain man in New York
whose pet detestation is a high hat.
In his journey through life he has ac.
quired many dislikes, some prejudices,
and a few hatreds-but his feeling
toward n high hat goes far beyond the
limits implied by the mild word
hatred"
However, family influences were
brought TO bear on him when he had
reached the proper milestone in his
life, and these influences were go
strong and insistent that eventually
the man in question purchased high
hat; what Is more, he actually
donned il.
But his hatred abatcd not a lot In
fact, It grew. lie used to open his
hatbox and eye the hat viciously, muir
derously. But thoughts Of what the
family would say II he should adopt
violent measures always deferred him,
and every time he shut the box again,
leaving the thing unharmed, and
vented his rage In profanity.
Once he and his family went TO
live at a hotel in the country. And
one night, with appalling suddenness.
that hotel caught fire.
Fortunately. everybody in it was
able to get out In safety. The young
man of the hat. after counting heads,
and seeing that his people were out OF
danger. decided to dash into the burn
ing building once more-there was
stlll bit of time-in order to see
whether he might rescue few more
things from his room. In the excite
ment attendant on the discovery OF
the fire the hotel guests had been
obliged to look to their personal safe.
ty, without thinking overmuch of that
Of their belongings.
Well the young man. plunging gal
lantly through flame and smoke
reached his room. There, the first
thing which caught his eye was the
hig9 hat.
With a look of diabolical glee he re
garded it for few seconds. Then
with an exclamation of delight-hC
kicked It into the inmost part of the
room, into cracking flame and eddy
ing smoke, far from all possible
means of escape.
Then. diabolical glee still illumininr
his features. he emerged a happy
man.
