been ' kicked in the head by •a colt.
Since then his life .had been haugi ig.
in the balance, hovering between' life
and :death. Shortly after the accident
hewa brought ° ,to Dr. Hyndman's
Hospital " : in Exeter, that ; he might
recti ve`the very best care and medical
treatments, but the injury proved fatal,
the lithe fellow having passed, away
on Friday last, at the age of 7 years,
9 months and .26 days. An examina
tionof the brain was made after death
when It .was found to be in a very
disordered" .condition, surrounded by
virulent pus, thus showing that it was
next to impossible to save his life
He was a bright little boy and his
death has caused deep sorrow and re-
gret in the houaehold. The funeral
took place from, the home of the par-
ents on Sunday to the Exeter cemetery
and was largely attended.

was a woman ,who had to do' the

whoz first caught the idea' of .a de-

blacksmith wanted with a collar of
aay sort .is not explained. It is un-

Montague, of'. Troy, ,New York,
nittet have t been a bear on collars,
andi oae may' judge from his name
thatdie wag probably trying to main-
tain a tradition of noble lineage
which. compelled hien to do his
blacksmithing in a white shirt. What-
ever pride his wife toek in his family
connections Must have been consider-
ably etarred by the task of -wrestling
with seven white shirts, and attached
collars eaeh week. One night the
idea occurred to her that it was not
abselutely essential . that the collet
sinaild be part of the shirt. She had
Observed, as had millions of otheri
that the only Part ,of the• shirt that
wap soiled when it ,was discarded wae
the collar. More thanefinety per cent
of the ahirt was immaculate, -despite
:the blacksmith's labors. We pan im-
agine *that the firit impulse was to
cut off the collars altogether, but we
can equally imanine the stern eebuks
which she would draw from Mr, Mon-
tague for this -unworthiness. So
she evolhed the idea of a detachable
collar. The tcheme presented itself
to her one night, 'and the next day
she hed made a collar which fasten-
-ed to the shirt, gave noInlding of its
inherent. feIsehood. Her husband al-
so was pleated with the device, and
was .so proud Of :hiti Wile's. ingenuity
that he even boasteCtif it
hoed of WO aa Slight demand . for
othet collars -suet _tis- those . which
Mrs. ;MOlitaglie' had fashioned, and
she h'aa.$everal, orders. The difficulty
was- thet she. eould only turn out a-
boute.one collar` a day, for it is to be
borrie fii mind that the little band
which goes by' the. name . of collar
now is very different from the elabor-
ate stock that wae called a collar a
fact that elle had' made one of the
isTeatest discoVeries or inventions, in
history. Mrs: Montague was not able
to reap any fortune thereby. She
could not register a patent, for . it
wass left to any woman who was at
all handy with her needle to -lake
a collar for her husband. Then teo,
she had to cope with popular pre-.
-indice againet what was considered
at mere ruse to conceal shabbiness.
Men and women to whom shirts
and epllars and Monday washings
were no object iceikede dOwn. upon
those who wore false -1. collars, just
as later on their descendants were.to
despite thase who wore false Shirt
Nevertheless, the cominon seale
and tjeconoraer of - the idea 'attracted
tides' being .a, preacher 'Rev. Brown
store in Troy "at the corner of
; River Street and the shipyard," as it
, was described. - He believed that the
I detaeliable collars was a boon to
I rnankiad and employed people to
I make it for 'him. One hundred years
!ago these collars wet& first displayed
[for sale in his window. A statistician
i has figured that whereas Hannah.
i than . a. yardt of -cotton or linen or
1,' whatever wag the material from
I *hi& she constructed her collars, in
a sirgle day, and a spool of thread
eitery fortnight, to -day. two hundked
thousand yards of material is use
of thread eVery week. To -day in Troy
there are seven blocks eef collar and
shirt, factories within h. mile radius
and capital amounting to $35,000,000
ehas been invested. It was due to
Hannah Mentague and Rev. Ebenezer
Brown that Troy' has become the
centre of shirt collar making in the
United States, sjust as Rochester is
the centre of camera making.
The collar. as it fall from the hands
of Hannah Montague, has suffered a
hundred changes and improverpents,
It has not yet become wholly stabiliz-
ed as leas the cut of men's trousers;
for only a few years ago the soft.
collar made itp appearnce. At first
qit was a -mere -outing fancy. Now it
is worn summer and wintei by hun-
dreds of thousands. The celluloid
collar, the rubber collar and the paper_
collar had each its day of fame. The
advantage of all these was that they
required no laundry atteption, The.
paper collar was so'cheap that it wee
throtvn away'. 'after it had been worn
for a few days; the rubber -and cellu-
loid collars could be washed and made
to look exactly ',like • new collar.
As far as the linen collar, is concerned
it has gradually . ceased to be linen,
in a great ,majority. of cases, and
has become chiefly cotton, thus sav-
ing the inrmense quantities of linen
that used to be squandered upon the
manufacture of what at best is a
mere adornment.
