In 1825 Hannah Lord Montague, the wife of the blacksmith in Troy, New York State, conceived the idea of a detachable collar when washing her husband’s shirt. Her neighbours bought collars from her. and then one, Ebenezer Brown', scented money in the invention, and exhibited “string collars.” as he called them, in his shop window. Pruning season is here once again; improve your results of vour gardening by a little pruning. We have just landed a huge shipment of primers. Those are made from Shear steel (not caet steel) and will not snap like the cheaper makes. They are a more comfortable size toe for ladies to use, being specially designed- for thus work. These are offering at the ridiculous price of Sd each, procurable only at Colk'nson and Son, Ltd., Broadway and Kingsway, Palmerston North.—Advt.
