How TO Keep a Razor Sharp.

We often have amateur shavers bring
us their razors to be fixed up, says
barber In the St. Louis Globe-Dem D
crat. Almost any man with a steady
hand can shave himself, but not one in
fifty can keep his razor in decent con-
dition. The first reason is that amateurs
wear ali the temper out of their raZors
by excessive strapping, and the better
the steel the easier it is affected in this
way. The only remedy is to let it
alone. Put away the razor that scrapes
and cuts the skin and give it a good
rest. Then use it again and III all prob
ability it will be in good shape.
Some of the modern shaving sets have
as many razors as there are days in the
week, and on the handle of each is en-
graved the name Of day. If the rota-
ton Is kept up very little sharpening is
needed. | have known men to talk Of
pet razors which they have used every
day for years: if they would let these
lie by for while they would find a
welcome improvement. The second
cause of the trouble is bearing on the
razor while sharpening it. Never at
tempt to put on an edge before shay
ing. When you are through rub the
blade lightly few minutes on a plain
leather strap. which need not cost above
a quarter, and then put away. The old
bolling-water craze is exploded now,
and professionals do just as good work
with cold water as hot

We May Go Cheaply Next Season,
From the New York Sun.

"This big steamship business is be-
ing overdone." said Superintendent
Charles G. West, of the French line,
recently. THE size and number OF
the steamers are Increasing out of all
proportion to the increase in the travel.
This year the lines will get along all
right on account of the exposition, but
next year there will be trouble. Either
the big racers will have to be with
drawn, some of them, or rates will &c
down. You see, they are built for pas.
sengers, and they've got Go run full, or
nearly SO, or they won't pay expenses.
And as to laying them of. except in the
rush of the season, why, it would be
like laying millions of dollars away idle
in safe deposit vault ten months out
of the twelve. The interest on the in
vestment in those boats is too big an
item to be thrown away.
'You see, the trouble about the racing
boats is that to get a comparatively
small increase in speed and power, a
terrible amount of room must be sacri-
feed and great increase made in rum
ming expenses. Look at the fast Gu
narders, burning some $50 tons Of coal
a day to get across in six days. [ be-
lieve some of the other racers eat up
even more fuel, especially at this season
of the year, when they have to be in
racing trim all the time. | went over to
see the Columbia when she was on in
spection after her maiden passage, and
found that not only were the bunkers
full of coal, but some Of the steerage
compartments had also been closed up
and filed with coal. They were
bound, you see, to get every pos
sible pound of power out Of the
engines. 1t isn't the cost of the coal
alone though, that will average SIS a
ton, but it's the room the extra coal
takes up and the extra men necessary
to handle 1t and the room they take up.
1t takes a regiment of stokers to shovel
400 tons of coal day into furnaces.
Every man costs from ninety cents to
81 day. besides his board and lodging.
When it comes to freight the racers
don't get it. After the C,:fc sails
there's no transatlantic freight to
speak of left here, anyhow. The Cutie
burns, they say, only 135 tons of coal q
day, and she makes the passage in ten
days or SO. You can imagine the profit
there is in boat like that. Then the
old Adriatic, of the same line, gets
along with eighty-fve tons day and
makes the passage plenty fast enough
for freight. She's regular gold mine
beside these new racers"

We Have the Men.

from SCT1DnoT.
This question of arms is live one in
Europe, where fighting may be expect
ed at any time; but we, the very war
like and extremely unmilitary sovereign
people of the United States, can afford
to view it with Indifference. We know
that we have millions of fighting men
ready to spring to arms at their coun-
try's call. The arms they would spring
to may not be of the best, but the men
are splendid.
We have Springfield rifles for few
thousand of the millions, and have pro-
vided by the law OF the land, i'll force in
the year OF grace, 1889, that each man of
all the rest shall have "a good musket or
firelock, two spare fints, sufficient
bayonet," and other warlike gear, ex-
cept in the case Of officers, each otwhom
must have "a spontoon, and sword or
hanger as he may elect.
Our criterion Of military excellence is
very different from that of Europe.

We consider 1t the part of wis
dom to prepare for more peace
In time of peace; but should a
foreign foe suddenly attack us the pulse

presented by our armies springing to

biavely bearing along his frelock, his
two spare fints, and his sufficient bayo-

ing his hanger and f1ourishing his spon-
toon, while the covering and cowardly

Flying Through Space.
From Scribner.

We cannot tell from the timetables
how fast we travel. The schedule times
do not indicate the delays that must be
made up by spurts between stations.
The traveller who is curious to know
just how fast he is going, and likes the
stimulus of thinking that be is in little
danger, may find amusement in taking
the time between mile posts; and when
these are not to be Seen, ne can often
get the speed very accurately by count
ing the rails passed in a given time.
This may be done by listening atten-
lively at an open window or door The
regular clicks of the wheels over the
rail-ioints can usually soon be singled
out from the other noises. and counted.
The number of rail.lengths passed in
twenty seconds is almost exactly the
number of miles run in an hour.
But If one wants to get a lively sense
of what it means to rush through space
at fifty or sixty miles an hour he must
get on a locomotive. Then only does be
begin to realize what trifes stand be-
tween him and destruction. A few
weeks ago a lady sat an hour in the cab
of a locomotive hauling fast express
train over a mountain road. She saw
the marrow bright line of the rails and
the slender points of the switches. She
heard the thunder OF the bridges and
saw the track shut In by rockety bluffs,
and new perils suddenly revealed as
the engine swept around sharp curves.
The experience was to her magnificent,
but the sense of danger was almost ap-
palling. To have made her experience
complete. she should have taken one
engine ride in dark and rainy
night. In daylight ride on locomo-
tive we came to realize how slender is
the rail and how fragile its fastenings,
compared with the ponderous machine
which they carry. We see what trif-
ing movement of a switch makes the
difference between life and death. We
learn how short the look ahead must
often be, and how close danger sits on
either hand. But it is only in night
ride that we learn how dependent the
engineer must be, after all, upon the
faithful vigilance of others. The head
light reveals few yards of glistening
rail, and the ghostly telegraph poles and
switch targets. Were switch open. a
rail taken up, or pile of ties on the
track, we could not possibly see the dan
ger in time to stop.

Hydraulic Rams.
From the American Agriculturist.

truth Cue american A&r1Cultur1St.
Very few farmers understand the
method Of raising water by the use of
the hydraulic ram, though there are
many places where they can be profita-
bly, employed. The invention is an old
one and apparently comes near perpetu-
al motion. The ram itself is a pear
shaped iron cylinder, placed in the
ground at depth sufficient to protect it
from the effect of frost in winter. The
spring or well which supplies the water
IS situated at some point above, so that
there will be fall of one foot Tor every
eight feet of perpendicular height to
which the water Is to be carried. For
instance, If it IS necessary to force water
up a hill to the house, which
stands torty-eight feet above the
spring, the fall must be at least six
ieet from the spring to the ram. The
horizontal distance has no effect on the
circulation, and it is often carried hun
dreds of feet, and in some cases over a
thousand. The principle on which the
water Is forced up is by compressed air.
The water passes from the spring in q
pipe, say two inches in diameter,
against check valve, which is lifted up
by the force Of the water until it reaches
a certain point, when portion of the
water is crowded by It's own weight
into the ram until the air is so COM
pressed that it discharges itself into a
small ripe, say half an inch in diameter,

the barn, house or wherever wanted
In well constructed rams the power
has been found to be about two-thirds
