PAPER COLLARS.
The medical officers of the Coblenz police lately had occasion to analyse a number of paper collars and cuffs—a kind of haberdashery which since its introduction from America has been increasingly adopted among the hnmbler classes of the population of Germany. The particular articles which -were submitted to chemical tests on the occasion referred to were manufactured by a firm at Leipsic, where the production of goods of this description has become a flourishing branch of industry. The result of the investigation at Coblenz has been to show that paper collars, &c., as now manufactured, contain a strong admixture of arsenic, which, in certain circumstances, is highly dangerous to the wearers.—“ The Times.”
