PERILs OF THE RAZOR.
A Man who Will Never shave
Again.

A worthy citizen Of Evansville, Nd,
undertook TO trim his beard short time
since, and by u slip Of the scissors spoil
ed the cut. He trimmed little more,
and still more, but it would look lop-
sided; so be went to the barber's and
got shaved for the FIRST time in twelve
years. He was very busy, and the busi-
ness detained him in his Office until a late
hour 10 the night, and when he went
home he found that his family had re-
tired. This was not An unusual occur
renee, 30 he silently entered by means
of pass key, sought his own room, and
undressed without lighting the gas. He
got partly into bed, when his wife aston
ished him by uttering loud and pro-
! loDged scream. He was very much
alarmed for her, and feared she had lost
her reason. He implored her to tell him
what was the matter.
At the sound Of his voice, she scream-
ed-"Oh Edward, come quick aud
save me"
Il am here dear" said he, but she
only screamed the louder at the words.
He sprang out of bed, and had Just
struck light, when his brother in law.
muscular six footer, rushed into the
room and fred revolver at his head.
Luckily it missed, but his fist did not,
for in a minute pale faced man, with a
long white robe, staggered under blow
that doubled the size of his organ Of
comparison.
"My God r. exclaimed the husband,
"aTe you all crazy ?"
"Bess my heartl" exclaimed the mus
l. IN, - ~
himselfl Why what on earth tempted
you to get yourself up in that style ?"
"What style p asked the much abused
husband, as be rubbed the growing Jumps
on his forehead.
"Why, when did you shaver"
1t was all clear to him then. His wife
had put up her hand in the dark, and
meeting the shaved face Of man, took
her husband for an intruder. She re-
cognized his voice at first, but the second
time he spoke her terror was too great,
aud she tainted. When the brother.in-
law rushed in he saw thin faced man
with slightly bald head, in long white
and in his rage at the sup
posed outrage fred at him, missed, aud
then knocked him down with his fist.
Fortunately his voice saved the hus-
band from second shot. His wife re-
covered from her faint only to faint again
at the recognition of her husbands
shaven face, and the pistol shot.
He finally got to bed and slept very
we'll until morning, when 1.-The baby"
child of about two years Of age, APP
preached the bed, os he had been used to
do, aud, frightened at the sight of
stranger, ran screaming from the room.
Tripping on the carpet, the poor child
received severe bump on its little head.
Matters were finally Strengthened up
at home, but on the street his friends
passed without speaking, and at the bank
he was not only refused payment of
draft, but threatened with arrest for
signing his own name in indorsiDg it. Of
course little explanation brought the
various affairs all right, but it took so
much time to explain, and for the con-
fusion on his forehead to get we'll, that
the aforesaid citizen vows he will never
shave again, as he considers it a habit
dangerous to peace, and even to life.

From the New York Standard
A Mouse AFFLICTED with Small
POX

On Friday evening lady entered the
drug store of Dr. Edward Landridge, on
Hudson avenue, near Sand street, Brook
lyu, and placed live mouse on the coun
ter. The little animal had very sore
head, and the doctor was asked whether
he knew what the matter was. He was
also informed that it had been brought
from the tenement house 156 Hudson
avenue, near York street, where there
have been several cases of small -pox.
After examining the mouse he found that
it was covered with sores. He sprinkled
some disinfecting powder over it and in
a short time it died. 1t was then dis
sected, and clear case of small pox in
its worst form was revealed. The re-
mains were inclosed in glass jar, and
are to be sent to the hospital for further
examination, as it is believed to be the
first case of the kind ever heard of.

New ENGLAND FARMs.-The returns
of the Massachusetts, Bureau of Labor
Statistics show that the cash value OF
farms in that State has decreased nearly
seven millions of dollars within the past
ten years. Taxes are heavy there. La
bor is scarce aud costly. The young
men of Massachusetts, find little encour-
agement to stay at home and work upon
farms which yield but small prHht foT
the most arduous labor, when, they can
find so much more labor, when they can
find so much more inviting fields IN the
West. Of the farm laborers in that
State, only one fifth are native born-ali
the rest are foreigners, principally Irish
aud French Canadians. Many of the
farms are passing into the hands of per
sons of foreign birth, who are content
with profits which are entirely Inadequate

The CORAL TRADE.-We Gnd the following
interesting facts concerning the traffic in coral
in the Pail Pail Gazette:
Coral is found in more or less abundance
along the coasts of the regency OF Tunis, Alge-
ria, and the Mediterranean shores of Morocco.
as well as in the neighborhoOd Of Sardinia, Ma
pies, Leghorn and Geneva, and the coasts of
Catalonia aud Provence. Between Bona and
Biserta there are certain banks rich in the
product, which are regularly frequented by the
coral boats. There are also many other banks
well known to the fishermen at from fifteen to
twenty miles from the mainland, but those
furnishing The best quality of coral are
off the island of Galita. 1t grows on
rocks embedded in the mud, and never on
those lying on sandy and clear bottoms. The
coral found on the Barbary coasts is principally
red, but black and white, as well as the much
priced pink, also exist. The latter kind is most
frequently Obtained ON the Galita and Fratelli
rock banks. The price Of coral varies from
IDS. TO II lis. the pound but the light mink or
Tose-colored coral, being extremely scarce and
in great demand, is often sold for iifv times its
weight i'm gold Coral is chiefly worked into
articles Of jewelry and beads at Tore del
Greco, Leghorn and Genoa. Formerly Mar
settles was a centre for its manufacture, but
now not more than three hundred or four hun
dred workmen are employed on it al that port
Europe takes comparatively small share of the
yearly supply of coral, the South American
etNNe39 wv lhtNiiOi vi aura, Tic FAST lIulcS,
China and Japan being the best markets for it.
The dredse by which coral is collected is
formed of two pieces of olive wood each about
six and one-hall feet long, firmly nailed and
dashed together crosswise, a weight, generally a
stone of 10 or 20 pounds, being attached at the
point of juncture. The crosswoods are suspended
with kind Of net made Of hempen ropes, APP
parently unrayelcd, and forming punches re-
sembling ship swabs. From sixteen to twenty
OF these nets hang round the woodwork, four
or five Others being attached to a long rope
trailing from the centre weight, while a III I'd
rope with nets is fixed to one Of the exiremities
of the cross. The tow line is tied to the centre
OF the dredge, which is dragged along the bot
tom OF the sea, the boat being either under oars
or sail. When the dredge is felt to have become
fixed TO rock, the boat is brought Immediately
over the spot, aud the dredge is hauled up TO a
certain height, by hand in the small and by
eapstan on the large craft and then allowed to
lai again on the rock, and so on until it is per.
Seived that the nets and cordage have lost their
