The Making of Them Is an Extensive Business In Itself. There is one man in the business who in 1909 will have been making cap visors for half a century, and he isn’t such an old man either. He started at the trade as a boy in 18o9, working for a concern of which now he is the head, which was then established in a build ing at Broadway and Rector street, where the Empire building now stands. He recalls the fact that when the war broke out they worked night and day turning out visors for soldiers’ caps. The manufacture of cap visors is a business by itself. Duly about fifteen concerns are engaged In it, of which number all are in this city save tu» or three located in Philadelphia and Bos ton. New York supplies visors for cap manufacturers all over the country, producing in the aggregate millions of them annually. For the very cheapest cloth caps visors are made of cardboard paper or of imitation leather covered with the cloth of which the cap body Is made. For other grades of cloth caps visors are made of various sorts of light leather, and for some cloth caps of fine quality there are now used, because It is lighter than leather, visors made from a heavy, specially woven and waterproofed canvas. For visors there Is now made an imi tation leather composed of bookbind ers’ board tllid what Is called mole skin, the two being cemented together under pressure. In a madeup cap, where Its edge could not be seen, this material might pass even an expert for leather. The best leather visors are made of leather specially tanned and prepared. Take the country at large and caps are not used by people in general for ordinary wear so much as they were fifty years ago, but caps are still worn in great numbers by younger people and by sportsmen and travelers and golf players, and of uniform caps of one sort aud another there are now worn 300 per cent more than twenty years ago. Very simple little things cap visors might seem, but great numbers of them are used, aud In a factory where they make them you would find around rolls aul sides of leather or other mate rials aud hundreds of dies and molds for cutting and the shaping of the visors and men busily at work follow ing visor making Just as they might any other trade.—New York Sun. W* 4o not do all kinds of printing ■** do ths GOOD kind The Lesson of the Morgue. M. Gaud, for thirty years the super intendent of the Paris morgue, said farewell to the grewsome place with tears hi his eyes and words of regret on his lips. Newspaper men asked him for “experiences” and "Impressions,” and when be had given them he re ceived from those who heard him the title “phllosoper of the morgue.” To a representative of the Matin be said that he had been very happy at the morgue and had learned there the les son of life. “When one sees before him continually,” he said, “what It is for which we work and slave and commit all sorts of folly, our fears and our worries vauisb. Of course It took quite a while before I realized that a dead man is no longer a man before I learned to look upon those who are brought here from the phys ical point only. Until that was accom plished I could not eat except with aversion. Two weeks cured me.” The Club Mania. To many men club membership is a kind of fad. J. Plerpont Morgan, for Instance, Is a victim of this mania. He belongs to thirty-five clubs, and hN membership dues figure over $7,000 annually. August Belmont Is a moni- lier of thirty-four clubs, and Chauncey M. Depew belongs to thirty-two. Per ry Belmont has membership in twen ty-nine clubs. George Gould In twenty seven, John Jacob Astor in twenty-one and Willie K. Tanderbllt, Jr., In eight een. Many men belong to a dozen or more. Of course all these clubs are not New York clubs, but still a very large proportion of them have their homes on Manhattan Island.—Broad way Magazine.
