X * . , STORY OF THE COLLAR. Troy's Great Industry Started by a Blacksmith's Wife 75 Yenra Aco. It was the -wife of a blacksraitn in Troy , N. Y.who made the first de tachable collar. Many of the world's greatest Inventions , including the safety valve , are the productions of people -who were either a bit lazy or had grown tired of the more , laborious ways in vogue in bygone < ays. The wife of the Troy blacksmith had crown tired of washing and ironing her husband's shorts with collars at- .tached and she "set up a thinkin' , " out of which evolved a paper pattern and finally the linen for a collar which could be detached from the shirt 'mat was 75 years ago and the product was the first separate collar ever made. The idea of the blacksmith's wife was a great reform in men's wear and women's labor in the little toirn or Troy. Ebenezer Brown , a former Methodist preacher , started a dry goods store and. later a collar factory. As his business grew it became nec essary to recruit employes among the girls and women of the town whom he f paid in merchandise from his own store. At the time the collars were tied around the neck of the wearer with tape strings and were known as "string collars. " These heavy two-ply collars , starched as stiff as a board , were supported by haircloths buckled at the back of the neck. Linen cuffs and shirts were made at home until 1845 , when the first shirt and collar factory was started in Troy. The in dustry has received impetus from time to time through various labor saving inventions until to-day $9,000,000 is in vested in it in Troy. The use of machines has supplanted hand labor in nearljT every department of the industry and these machines will be seen in operation , turning out collars and cuffs ready to wear , in the Manufacturers' Palace at the coming fair in &t. Louis , where the collar and cuff display will be one of the princi pal exhibits. "Without Preiiidice. Mr. Xesbit who had painted a picture - Or the noble red man in war-paint and feathers , -wanted an unbiased opinion of his work. His wife said that the picture was the best thing of the kind that she had ever seen. His dearest friend , too , was decidedly enthusiastic. Both declared , in short , that any one would know at a glance that it was in tended for an Indian. "To tell the truth , " said Xesbit , look ing somewhat doubtfully at the picture , "I haven't a great deal of confidence in either of you. You always praise everything I do. Now I'm going down to the street to see if I can't find some person who can be depended upon to give me an absolutely unprejudiced opinion- this picture a child , for instance. Children always tell the truth. " Five minutes later Xesbit returned with tfcree small boys -\vhom he had found playing marbles in the street. "Now , boys , " he said , "take a good look at this picture. I'll give each of you ten cents if you'll tell me just ex actly what you see. " "A rooster ! " shouted the three boys , simultaneously. \ it The Right Conditions.

TWO STEPS Tlie Last One Helps the First. A sick coffee drinker must take two steps/to / be rid * of his troubles aud get strong and well again. The first is to cut off coffee abso lutely. That removes the destroying ele ment The next step is to take liquid food ( and that is Postum Food Coffee ) that has in it the elements nature're quires to change the blood corpuscles from pale pink or white to rich red , and good red blood builds good strong and healthy cells in place of the broken down cells destroyed by coffee. With , vell boiled Postum Food Coffee to shift to , both these steps are easy and pleas ant The experience of a Georgian proves how important both are. "From 1S72 to the year 1900 my wife and I had both been afflicted with sicker or nervous headache and at times we suffered untold agony. We were coffee drinkers and did not know how to get away from it , for the habit is hard to quit. "But in 1900 I read of a case similar to ours where Postum Coffee was used In place of the old coffee and a com plete cure resulted , so I concluded to get some and try it "The result was , after three days' use of Postum in place of the coffee I never had a symptom of the old trouble and in five months I had gained from us pounds' to 1G3 pounds. "My friends asked me almost daily what wrought the change. My answer always is , leaving off coffee and drink ing Postum in its place. "We iftve many friends who have been benefited by Postum. "As to whether or not I have stated the facts truthfully I refer you to the Bank of Carrollton or any business firm In that city where I have lived for many years and am well known. " Name given by Postum Co. , Battle Creek , Mich. "There's a reason. " Look in each pkg. for the famous lit tle book , "The Road to Wellville. " THE TOKEN. He had won some costly badges On the blood-stained battleiield , From the hearts he'd taught to love him Fiom the liearts he'd taught to yield ; But the one he loved the best , That he wore next to his breast , Was a little withered flower A poor , bedraggled flower , In a golden locket pressed , And his tired lips they kissed it , As they kissed none of the rest So the prize we learn to value You will find no mark of fame. 'Tis a little , simple token , H.rdly worthy of the name , But to us 'tis always bright It is always pureand white , And the white withered flower The poor , bedraggled flower , We may dream of it at night. And it tells us when tofalter AK it tells us when to fight. Wo may kiss it , but in secret , For 'tis s red from the world ; And , with downcast eyes we clasp it In the angry battle hurled. But it drives away all feai As we feel it nestling near , Though a little withered flower The poor , bedraggled flower , Scarcely worth a brave man's tear , Yet the hard won prizes fail us , While tins simple one brings cheer. * o * o - - - o * ERTAIXLY there was nothing ln the appearance of Major Glendinning to indicate that he was a blighted being. Rotund of fig ure , red-faced , and always smiling , he was a familiar figure on the streets of Frankfort. Those of the older inhabitants v-ho remembered might have spoken of the time when the major's figure was not rotund whcji he was a slender , dash ing officer of a Lost Cause. He had been a very gay young gal lant then , and he was a very gay old gallant now. It was the major's motto that every woman between 10 nnd GO appreciated attention , and he was ifot very strict in drawing the- line at eith er the maximum or minimum ages. AA ith a comfortable and well-nour ished inheritance , supplemented by the income of a considerable law practice , the major ranked as one of the rich est men in Frankfort , and even now , when he was drawing near GO , he was esteemed a very desirable match. "But the major will neve-r marry , " said old Mrs. Bartlett , who was a "FOR ME ! " SHE EXCLAIMED. . walking newspaper and town history combined , "you mark my words. I have known him for forty years , and I do not believe he ever had any seri ous intention of marrying. Just be fore the war he was very devoted to Spicer Belle West , but she married John Edmunds , and now there's the major , paying attention to her daugh ter ! " "Maybe you are right , Mrs. Bart lett , " said her neighbor , Mrs. Hardin , "but really it does look like the major is serious now. Of course , it looks ridiculous to see an old man like him paying attention to a young girl like Spicer Belle Edmunds- he has a lot of money and that counts a whole lot "these days. Mrs. Bartlett and Mrs. nardin were not the only persons interested in the question of the major's intentions. Miss Spicer Belle Edmunds , 20 and vastly pretty , was somewhat interested her self. self.At At the very time of the conversa tion bc-tween the two old ladies Miss Edmunds was putting the finishing touches to her toilet , preparatory to joining the major , who was waiting for her in the parlor , and she was wondering how the major was going to take the news of her engagement to young Jack Frear. The situation was complicated by the fact that Frear was a protege of the major's , indebted to him for many favors in the past , and entirely depen dent upon the major for continuance in the minor political office which gtive him salary enough to be. enabled to marry. Jack and Spicer Belle talked over the question of breaking the news to the major , but it was a case of "bell the cat" and neither quite liked t e idon of being the one to perform the operation. Buc Jack had chivalrously offered to do it. and Spicer Belle did not know hut what he had already done so. Finally , she nerved herself for the ordeal and descended slowly. At the foot of the stairs she met the major , his round , red face almost hid behind a great bunch of American beauties which he was extending toward her. "For me ! " she exclaimed , with a pretty little air of surprise that was not the less convincing because as sumed. "How good of you ! " and buried her flower face within the fragrant moss jjf the flowers. "Jack hasn't > told him , after phewhispered to herself. But she was undeceived in a moment "My dear young lady , aren't you ashamed of yourself to Ij.ive kejt me out of your confidence. ? " said the ma jor , shaking a ponderous forefinger in her direction. "Then Jack has told you ! " "Of course he has. But why on earth did he make so much ado about telling me ? Jack came into my office with a face as long as though he was going to be hung instead of married , and blurted out that you had promised to marry him In much the same man ner as though he had lost a near and dr ar relative. " Spicer Belle was as much taken aback as it is possible for a self-pos sessed young lady to be , and could only look up with a little amazement and say : "We thought I thought that is O , major , and you are not angry at Jack , after all ? " "Angry ! Why , my dear child , I nearly squeezed his hand off congratu lating him. And you can't guass what I am going to give you two as a wed ding present. " "No , I can't. " "Well , Congressman Ralph has promised that I should have the ap pointment of the collector and the dep- iity collector for this district" "And you are going to make Jack the deputy collector ? Why , the salary will be twice what he is getting now. You are a dear ! " "No , I am not going to make Jack the deputy collector. His appointment as collector will be announced next week. " "And to think that Jack and I wore afraid Oh , major ! I can't thank you enough ! " "You don't have to thank me , my dear little girl , except by being just as happy as ever you. can. But tell us wbat Jack and you were afraid of that I would think him too young to marry ? " "No yes , that was it. You don't think he is too young , do you ? " "Of course I don't Young men ought to marry just as soon as they can support a wife. Jack need have no fear abouf : that , and then , you know , I have a little bit of money my self that will go to you when I am dead. But you can't deceive me as you are trying to do ; tell me what it was you were really afraid of ? " "Don't ask me , major. I can't tell you. I " and here a great big blush r-petl all over her cheek. In the light of this blush under standing seemed to come to the major , lie gazed for an instant as though un comprehending , and then he smiled , checking himself with an inborn fear of being ungallant "Of course , I understand , my child , so no one ever told you Ah ! it is pos sible tliat no one ever knew , not even she' " "Knew what ? Not even who ? " ask ed Spicer Belle in a breath. The major had turned , and was looking out of the window. The smile had gone from his face and he looked very sad for the moment As though impelled by a sudden reso lution he turned again suddenly and faced her. He took his watch out of his pocket opened the back and extended it to the girl. She took it and saw , let into the back , an old-fashioned miniature. She gazed at it a moment and then lifted her eyes to the picture of a beautiful woman which hung oh the wall. "ily mother ? " she questioned. There were tears in her eyes and in her voice. "Yes , your mother. " The major's voice was harsh and dry , and all the color seemed gone from his faco. "And she never knew ? " " 1 cannot say as to that ; I do not think she did. I was only a friend she loved your father. " Closing the watch the girl came clos er to the major and handed it to him. lie replaced it in his pocket silently. Then , without a word , the girl , reaching upon tiptoe , drew the major's head down and kissed him with a kiss of which Jack could not have pos sibly been jealous. Utica Globe. Emigrate in Solid Mass. There is in Norway a curious little reptile known as the sciara some of the same species are found in Hun gary that finds it necessary in the month of July or August to leave its old hounts for green fields and pas tures new in other localities. It is a tiny , wormlike creature. When colonies nies of these reptiles set out on this journey they stick themselves togeth er by means of some glutinous matter and form a huge , serpentlike mass , of ten reaching a length of between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thick ness. As the sciara is onJy on an aver age about three thirty-seconds of an inch in length , with no appreciable breadth whatever , the number requir ed to form a continuous line of the size above mentioned is incalculable. Their pace is , of course , very slow , and upon meeting an obstacle , such as a stick or stone , they either writhe over or around it , sometimes breaking into two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated French naturalist says that if the rear portion of this snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part the insects will keep moving around in that circle for hours , never seeming to realize that they are getting no farther on their journey. If the portions be broken In two the pro cession will unite in a short time. When the peasant meets ono of these processions he will lay some obstacle in front of it. If it passes over it it is a good omen. Every man makes a start in the race for the almighty dollar , but at the finish he is apt to find his name among those .who "also ran/ " JURY FIXES BLAME. SLOCUM OFFICERS AND DIRE5 TORS HELD. Those Criminally Responsible Have Been Placed Under Arrest Action of Mate Flunacan Styled Cowardly and Inspector Cited for Federal Inquiry. After a full investigation the York coroner's jury found a verdict holding every person directly concern ed in the Gen. Slocum disaster crimi nally responsible for the loss of the lives of the excursionists who perished on June 15. Those directly blamed by the jury were Frank A. Barnaby , president of the Knickerbocker Steamboat Com pany ; J. K. Atkinson , secretary of the company ; all of the directors , Capt William H. Van Schaick , Mate Ed ward Flanagan , and Henry Lundberg , assistant United States steamboat inspector specter , who approved the fire fighting apparatus of the boat before it was placed in commission in May. Flanagan was denounced for cow ardice and for failure to perform his duty. Lundberg was held to have been incompetent , careless and indifferent The jury found that the existing sys tem of steamboat inspection is ineffi cient and recommended a radical change by the Department of Com merce and Labor. Coroner Berry issued warrants for the arrest of the directors and officials of the Knickerbocker Steamboat Com pany. Inspector Lundberg nnd Mate Flanagan have been held in $1,000 bail each. The charge in each case was man slaughter in the second degree. Bail was fixed by the coroner in amounts varying from § 1,000 to $5,000. Bail was fixed at $5,000 each for President Barnaby and Secretary At kinson and bonds were furnished at once. Capt. "Van Schaick is a prisoner in the Lebanon hospital. That over 1,000 persons perished in the burning of the excursion steamer General Slocum is uow certain. Accord ing to an exhaustive report made by Po lice Inspector Schmittberger , on the number of dead , missing , injured and un injured in the disaster , it appears that 938 bodies have been recovered and that 93 persons absolutely known to have been aboard the vessel are still unac counted for , bringing the total mortality of the disaster up to 1,03 . Those in jured numbering 179 and of the throng of fully 1,500 who embarked on the ex cursion of St. Mark's Church , but 230 escaped without injury. The report is the result of a minute irfqtiiry made by a corps of 100 patrolmen under the di rection of the inspector. In the course of the inquiry much valuable informa tion was secured from survivors which will be used in the investigation by the District Attorney to fix the responsibil ity for the disaster. A thorough exam ination of the hull by Coroners O'Gor- man and Berry and Inspector Albcrtson resulted in the discovery in the locker iu which the fire started of a number of barrels which had contained kerosene and lubricating oil. The investigation prosecuted by the coroner seems to mate it clear that the Slocum had been nothing better than a death trap for years. The steamboat company admitted that since 1895 not a single new life preserver had been pur chased for the Slocum. Gen. Dumont , head of the United States steamboat in spection service for the harbor of Xew York , asserts that the life of the average good life preserver is six years. Presi dent Barnaby was accused of bad faith and of trying to deceive the coroner's jury as to the life preservers by his tes timony on the first day of the inquest. Capt. John A. Pease , supervising captain of the company , who put the boat into commission , bluntly admitted that it was impossible to purchase a proper fire hose for 1G < Snts a foot. That was the price of the cotton fire hose that was in use on the Slocum. All testimony went to show clearly that none of the officers or members of the crew of the Slocum had made the least effort to save lives on the day of the disaster. It was shown also that the only member of the crew to drown , Michael McGann , the steward , had put on one of the worthless life- preservers. M ANY TEACHERS MEET. National Association Opens Forty- Third Convention at St. Loirts. The forty-third annual conveatiou of. the Xational Educational Association formally convened Tuesday at the world's fair grounds in St. Louis when the first of the general sessions was call ed to order in Festival Hall. Later the sessions of the differeut educational de partments were convened in various halls throughout the grounds , the whole consti tuting the general convention of the as sociation. As the majority of the educators failed to register upon arrival , but went direct ly from the trains to their various stop- piug places , it is not definitely known how large was the attendance , but it is known that many thousands of persons came to St. Louis for the express purpose of attending the convention. Festival Hall has a seating capacity of about 2,500 , but had the hall been several times as large it would not have accommodated the crowd. Educators from every portion of the United States and many from abroad constituted the vast throng that endeavored to find en trance to the hall , and the musical pro gram that was arranged as preliminary to the convention was continued for some time after the hour set in order to permit the delegates to arrange themselves com fortably. The convention was called to order by President John W. Cook , who is presi dent of the Northern Illinois State Nor mal School , DeKalb , 111. He introduced the first speaker , W. T. Carrington , sup erintendent of public instruction of Mis souri , who welcomed the educators to St. Louis and to the exposition. A second end address of welcome was made by C. M. Woodward , president of the St. Louis Board of Education. The next speaker was F. Louis Soldan , superintendent of public instruction of St Louis. ! Koyal Prnsaian Potash Mine * . The potash which is dug from the royal Prussian mines , located at Strass- furt ninety miles from Berlin , is the sole source of the world's supply. Be fore the mines were discovered the best substitute which could be found for the product was wood ash , such as the southern plantations used in the old days of making lye soap. The Prussian mines are twenty-seven In number , and were devoted to the pro duction of salt before rock salt was discovered. When the new variety of salt was given to the world about forty years ago the Prussian mines were temporarily rily abandoned , and in a few years a search for rock salt was instituted. The salt was found , but in a badly adulterated condition , and an analysis of the adulterant revealed the fact that it was the most valuable part of the mineral. The potash was at once turned to use as commercial fertilizer , and establishments in Louisville take a large proportion of the production. It is an ingredient of the material in which the Tennessee and South Carolina lina phosphate is largely used. The mines are controlled by a syn dicate and are under the supervision of William , Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia. They employ 21,000 men and yield 1,200 car loads a day of potash. Of the entire output 75 per cent is used for agricultural purposes , while the remainder is used for chem ical purposes. It is largely utilized In the cyanide process of extracting gold from the ore.
