The First Razor.

The earliest reference to shaving is
found in Genesis XII: IA, where we lead
that Joseph, on being summoned before
the king shaved himself There are
several directions as to shaving in
Levitticus, and the practice is alluded
to in many other parts of scripture.
Egypt is the only country mentioned ia
tho Bible where shaving WAS practiced.
In all other countries such an act would
have been ignominious. Hcroiotus men
tions that the Egyptians allowed their
boards to grow when II mourning. So
particular were they as to shaving at
other times that to have neglected it was
subject of reproach and ridicule. and
whenever they intended to convey the
idea of man of low condition and
slovenly habits the artists represented
HIM with beard. Unlike the Romans
of later age, the Egyptians did
not conflnc the privilege of
shaving to free citizens, but obliged
their slaves to shave 10th beard and
head. The priests also shaved the
head. Shaving the head became Gus
tomary among the Romans ah,ut $50 B.
c. According to Pliny, Scipio Afri.
canus was the first Roman who shaved
daily In France the custom of shaw
ing arose when Louis XIlI. came to the
throne young and beardless. The
Anglo Saxons wore their boards until,
at the conquest, they were compelled
to follow the example of the Normans,
who shaved. From the time OF Ed
ward III. to Charles |. boards were
universally worn. In Charles U.'s
reign the mustachc and whiskcrs only
were worn, and soon after this the prac-
ticc of shaving became general through
out Europe. The revival OF the custom
OF wearing the beard dates from the time
of the Crimca, 1S5i-55.-- Penman's

A Successful Crusade.

Every afternoon, between five and six,
an understood man with a nervous but
decided air boards Wabash avenue
cable car at Washington street and rides
south. Probably not one out of twenty
five OF his follow passengers recognizes
him as the hero OF desperate fight
against the City railway company.
Chicago grows very fast, and tho scnsa-
tion of yesterday is hardly the memory
Of to-day. This is D. B. Fisk. When
the City railway company, about a
dozen years ago, put "bobtail' cars
Gears in which passengers drop their
passes through slot into box on its
lines, Fisk, single handed, began a cru
SADIE against the bobtails, and ceased
only when the cars were removed. How
did he so about it' He simply refused
to pay his fare except to conductor.
The drivers on the line came to know
him and ceased jingling their bells
for his fare. He used to enter a car and
offer to pay the fares of all the passen-
gers-to conductor, The result was
many carload of people were hauled
free. Fisk found a few nervy followers;
the newspapers took up the battle, the
public joined in, and the result was the
complete subjugatioa of the company
and the removal of the obnoxious ve-
hicles. Tho fight, it is SAID, cost the
company hundreds of thousands in lost
fare and cars left OF their hands, which
they were obliged to sell at prices away
below their cost. y Chicago News.

A Blind Mans Ingenuity,

"Wiil you please set my watch right
and tell me what the time is now; it
has run down2"
The speaker was blind and hc handed
q handsome gold stem-windcr to his
friend. The friend put the watch right,
told the time and then handed it back
to his blind friend, saying, "Of what
use is watch to you7 How can you
tell the timer
you have just set the watch at q
quarter to two," said the blind man,
and now it is fully wound up. If wish
to know what the time is this evening I
shall rewind the watch and count each
Of the clicks as l turn the key. There
are forty-five clicks, for example. Now
l have found that nine clicks correspond
to 100 minutes, so that if there arc
forty five clicks it will mean that eight
hours and twenty minutes have elapsed
since the time the watch was set, max
ing the time five minutes past 10 o'clock.
l always remember what the time was
when l wound it up last, and SO by
little care and calculation can always
come very near what the time is."-

When New Century Begins.

The confusion III the qpcs ton whether
the year 1900 is a part of the nineteenth
or of the twentieth century arises prob
ably from the comparison of the age OF
man with the years of the century.

ior instance, al through his eleventh
year. But the year one began with the

the years from to 100 comprise the
first century. and the second century
begins with the year 101 and ends with

Southern Rice Fields.

In former times the cultivation was
confined mostly to the sea islands, and
the low shore lands OF the coasts OF
South Carolina and Georgia. More re-
Gently Louisiana and several other
southern states have produced largo
quantities of rice, making rice culture
one of the most important industries OF
the south. Yet the annual consumption
OF rice in the United States is reported
as nearly double the production.
One of tho greatest troubles Of tho
cultivator OF rice is the bi-annual at
tack of birds. In the spring. at tho
time of planting, the rice-birds Of
variou, kinds cat the seed before tho
ground is we'll flooded with water.
Again, in the fall, when the grain is in
the milk, the birds arc very annoying
and destructive, and it is a never-failiny
time OF great anxiety to the rice grower.
Many birds are fond of rice, but tho
chief maraudcr is the "rice bird" or
''bobolink" of the north. These winged
anarchists" do not visit the fields by
scores or hundreds only, but by thou
sands and by irnumerab!o multitudcs.
Sometimes whole fields are destroyed,
bringing to the rice-plauter "crop OF
discouragements" instead of a crop Of
rice.
During tho time the rice birds are q
numerous. hundreds of boys and men
are employed, called "bird -minders,"
who alarm the birds by discharging fire.
arms, and In various ways strive to keep
the birds from the fields. Bird-trap-
ping and netting and egg
destroying are resorted to without
apparently diminishing tho numbers;
and with about as much visible benefit
as fence might bo in keeping weeds
from garden. In the "Annual Report
of Agriculture" it is stated that tho
annual loss occasioncd from birds
aggregates s. 600, 900.
One large rice grower says: 1--WE en-
ploy about one hundred bird minders,'
who shoot from three to five kegs Of
powder daily, of twenty-five pounds
each; add to this shot aud caps, and
you will have some idea what these
birds cost one planter. VI Independent.

when Charleston built for the Briton's
sport
The spongy, hardy palmetto fort,
And the ships with their topsails taut and
thin
stormed over the bar at break of day,
Gun and swivel and culverin
Shouting their murderous roundelay!
When the Kissing shot was immured for
good,
Time after time, in the soft, sly wood,
A yenturous shell, from the Moreland's deck,
Struck the patriot staff. and snapped it

Neat in the middle, without one f1eck,
And wbirled the flag from the rampart's
height.

And, his young blood seething still as
ghost,
Straight through the perilous fire leaped
down,
Leaped down, and back, by a leopard spring,
The smoke in his eyes, erect and brown,
All in the beat of swallows wing.
And held close, close, as he climbed alone,
The banner sacred and overthrown;
And quick, with that steady hand of his,
Notching its loops on his ramrod bare,
With $50, my beauty" and one frank kiss,
Flung it again to the glad, free air
Then the friendly tides turned clean about,
And slipped from under The frigates stout
And Sir Peter Parker's crippled feet,
With its disembarking, bewildered crew,
Groped and fumbled, and got its feet,
And reeled off into the seas anew.
'Tis the old tale; how ours sat down
At dusk in their fair, beleaguered town,
We seal their valor, repeat their VOWS;
We keep their memories east and west;
We sing their praise through the happy

But of Sergeant Jasper who knows the resti
Who asks it, Peace to his ashes cold
The Carolinian grasses fold!

Symbol and vision of loyalty,

Bears hundreds, happily, such as he,
Let emperors sleep in their gorgeous fame;
For us, forever, some quiet nams,
In which no armorer's skill is versed,
