The Future Of Electricity,

It would be quite impossible to forecast
tho future, even for a single decade. with
reference to the applications Of electric
ity, even though discovery were ended.
The mere expansion Of industries already
in some degree established will give
them an importance which we cannot
now estimate. But discovery rs not
ended, and it is more than probable that
results viii yet be reached which. al
though they cannot DO at variance with
the general doctrine of energy as now
understood, may to some extent revolu-
tionize our methods, with corresponding
advantages. -Professor c. +. Bracket
in Scribner's.

That Close Shave.

Whenever a man comes into my shop
and asks for clean shave, | wish that !
knew him well enough to show him q
piece Of his skin under n microscope
after he has had his shave and is feeling
his smooth face in a satisfied way while
the boy brushes him of The hair Of
the beard. in growing, raises little hills
Of flesh around each root. and in shay
ing a man smoothly the razor cuts these
OF. leaving the blood vessels exposed
Under the microscope these bleeding
vessels can be distinctly seen, and the
flesh is seen to be entirely without the
covering Of skin it should have. The
natural result is that the close shaver Is
always troubled with colds and aifec-
tons Of the throat. Close shaving is so
much a western habit that eastern Bar
bers say they can tell n western man by
his dissatisfied look when he gets out Of
the chair and feels that he has some Of
tho skin still left on his face.-St Louis

There wa, man in our town. and he Was
wonjrous wise
For when he marked his prices down,
lie then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase
With all his might and main
lie lower still marked every price.
And advertised again.
Ills rivals loudly sworc
70 see folks rush with might aud mann
To pltroujze his store.
And when they sat in solitude.
And saw his custom win,
That man behind the counter stood and rt>cu

And when he raked the >hckeI> m,
He saw his fortune rising;

The more one pays for printer ink,
The greater is his gain.
