English RaZOrS.

The London Times says that the
Sheffield razor trade has been very brisk
for nearly two years, and the razor
forgers are agitating, though in very
friendly way, for an advance of ten per
cent. in wages. A "spurt" was given in
the razor trade in similar way just be-
fore the Egyptian war. On the soldiers
kits being examined it was found that
they were deficient in razors, knives
and forks. A large firm in Sheffield
| were asked by the Government to make
several thousand raZors in certain
time. The firm replied that they could
supply from stock if the Government
would take the ordinary pattern; but
the authorities insisted on having their
own army razor. The order was then
divided, and the numerous forgers, who
work at little wheels in the picturesque
Rivelin Valley and other suburban parts,
were offered three pence per dozen more
to get the work out in time. The offer
was accepted, and the soldiers had their
raZOrs in time. :..ss ...
In the days of the late Mr.. Roebuck,
a Sheffield manufacturer made the re-
mark In his presence that the British
soldier shaved himself with a razor
which was delivered, in case, at four
anu a. HILL 10 i've dIlu a udll pcHCc NIL
Roebuck expressed some incredulity,
but the manufacturer whipped one out
of his pocket and showed it to the right
honorable gentleman, who took posses
sion of it. The chief cause of the pres
ent activity in the razor trade is the sud-
den change in the American demand,
which is now all for hollow-backeJ
razors.
Another kind is made, not for shaw.
ing, butl for razor fights. 1t is very
loose in the blade, which can be sud-
denly thrown back, and held between
the fingers for dash at the face. This
razor is said to be almost entirely used
by negroes, and large numbers are sent
to the United States. The Sheffield
water is said to be essential to the mall
ing of good razors. Several years ago
company Of razor grinders who went
to America took a barrel of Sheffield
water with them; but the barrel, of
course, could not last forever. What
ever the cause, the making of razors
remains speciality of Sheffield MANI
facturers, and almost monopoly.

Where Tom Found His TANNERS.

>Tom's father wa" a rich man, and
= Tom lived in a large house in the coun
/ try. He had pony and many Other
pets. and wore fine clothes. Tom was
very proud of ali the fine things h
fathers money bought. He began tt
think that being rich was better thar
being good. lie grew very rude, anC
was cross to the servants. Cnce he
kicked Towser; but the dog growled,
and Tom was afraid to kick him again
! One day when Tom was PLAYING in
the yard he saw boy standing by the
gate, He was ragged and dirty, his
hat was torn, AMI his feet We're bare.
But he had a pleasant face. In one
hand he carried a pail hall full OF black
berries. .a
50 away from hcre.'' said Tom,
running 10 the gate. 1--WE are rich, and
don't want ragged boys around
Please give me u drink So d the
boy. IF YOU are so rich, you can
spare me dipper OF water
I'VE can't spare you anything" said
Tom. AT You don't 90 away | VIII set

The boy laughed and walked away,
swinging the tin pail in his hand.

out OF the gate into a lane leading 10 Il
meadow where there We're plenty OF

Tom saw some fine large ones grow
ing Just over ditch. He thought he
could leap over it very easily He gave
a run and a very big jump. The ditch
was wider than he had thought AMI, in
stead OF going over it, he came down in
the middle OF it.
The mud was very thick and soft, and
Tom sank down IN it to his waist. He
was very much frightened. and
screamed for help. But he had not
much hope that help would come for
he was q long way from any house.
He screamed until he was tired. He
began to think he would have to spend
the night in the ditch, when he heard
steps on the grass. Looking up he saw
the ragged boy he had driven from the
gate. s...
please help me OUT said Tom,
cryinr. 81 will give you dollar, So
II don't want the DOLLAR said the
boy, lying down fiat on the grass He
held out both his hands to Tom, and
drew him out of the ditch. -l""H-.7
Tom was covered with mud, his hat
was gone. and one shoe was lost in the
ditch. He looked very miserable.
.'Who is dirty now?" asked the boy.
81 ann said poor Tom; ''but thank
you very much for helping me out of
the mire. And l am sorry sent you
away from the gate.'' g..
The next time I come, perhaps you
will treat me BETTER" said the boy. II
am not rich. but l am stronger than
YOU are, and think l have better man

II think so, too" said Tom.
The next day. when Tom saw the
boy going by the gate, he called him in.

ducks. and gave Kim ride on his pony

the boy. ..
