A RAZOR's TEMPER.

IN Most Instances It Improves as the
Blade Gets Older.
"How does that razor go?" queried a
well-known tonsorial artist of re-
porter few days ago as the latter was
being shaved.
ut pulls a little" was the reply.
That's just what thought" uttered
the barber, as he wiped the blade care
fully and proceeded to strop another
which he selected from number lying
on his shelf.
''Do you know" he continued, that
razors are just IS freaky and change
able as women? Why, that razor just
put away, after a good hon.ng, will
sometimes shave twenty or thirty men
with only slap or two over the strop
once in awhile, and perhaps some other
time the edge will be gone after have
shaved two customers. OF course some
people claim that the difference in
boards accounts for this, and that Is In
q great measure true, but oftentimes
the edge will go back on fellow while
shaving man whose beard is like silk.
another peculiar thing about them
Is that they will not work for other peo-
pie the same as for the man whose Gus
tom 1t is to use them. Now, would just
as soon think Of throwing all those nice
blades you see lying on the shelf away
as to let some other man hone or strop
them for me. What's the reason? Well,
1t lies just here. There are many diff
ferent kinds Of edges, and only the man
who Is used to the razor can know what
they will stand. He has to study them, OF
course, and he will know just what
stroke to make on his oilstone and what
passes to mako on his strops. The razors
seem to become acquainted with the
touch OF the man who constantly handles
them, and work we'll for him; when, If
strange barber should take one, his
work with it would be likely to be
rather poor for some time-in fact, until
he had nursed the sensitive blade
around to his ways and his peculiar
touch"
(which do you consider the best razor
TO buy-the most expensive or the
cheaper grades?'
II was just coming to that. No,
uOu Q tnluk tnat as q rule expensive
razors are much better to use than those
Of medium price and quality. Now
there 10 a razor" said he, taking one
with horn handle down from the shelf,
that bought IN an auction room for
twenty-five cents That was cheap
enough, you must confess, yet cheap
a. 1t was, It Is now one Of the best razors
on my shelf, It having turned out ex-
actly as I would wish. This razor is good
ON almost any face, while some others
which have, while can shave one man
with them with ease, another man may
ait down in my chair aid that same
razor will pull 80 that the customer will
cry out with pain.
Another interesting fact about them
Is that they improve with age, that is,
the temper will improve, and have had
raaors In my possession which were Of
no earthly use 10 me, but after laying
them away for year or two would pick
them up once more, when I would find
them frst-class in every Particular

Negligence Alleged.
LONDON, Fob. by an explosion in
the Abersychan colliery at Newport,
800 minors were shut of, the shafts
being closed by debris.
The greatest excitement prevailed
about the mouth of the pit just after
the explosion. 1t was thought fire had
ensued, which would have meant GER
tain death to all in the mine The
families of the Imprisoned miners were
loud in their lamentation and appeals
to those on the surface to save those
below.
Rescuing parties were soon in the
mine. Before many hours they had
saved 300 NAN, all OF whom were burned
about the face and hands.
The explosion so damaged the pit
that the work of exploration is slow.
At last accounts 80 bodies had been
brought to the surface. There is faint
hope that others may yet be alive.
1t Is now apparent that the estimate
OF the number OF lives lost was not
placed too high. and many believe that
tho dead will exceed their tgures-l2O.
Ghastly Work.
Although some 30 bodies have been
taken out. the CHASTITY work is only at
its beginning and vast amount of
labor will be required to clean away
the debris and recover the bodies that
remain in tho pit. The bodies taken
out are so horribly mutilated that ex-
eept in two or three cases Identification
is impossible, recognition being rend
dered doubly doubtful by the fact that
the men. owing to the close and heated
atmosphere of the mine wore no cloth
ing whatsoever except heavy boots to
protect their feet from tho flint bot
tOIu.
Criminal Negligence.
1t is assorted that the mine has been
in dangerous condition for somo time
past. Not long ago an explosion oc-
Cured in an adjoining pit, by which five
men were killed. The damaged pit was
Hooded and the water gradually forced
the gas into the pit which was the
scene of the latest disaster. Upon
this information ii is already suggested
that the owners of the mine be prose-
cuted for criminal negligence.

There is no doubt that they will dis

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.
How tho Laws of Norway Treat Heavy
Drinkers,

Drinkers,
A habitual drunkard Of Norway and
Sweden renders himself liable to i'm
prisOnment for his love for strong
drink, and during his incarceration he
is required to submit to plan of treat
mont for the cure of his failing, which
is said to produce marvellous results.
The plan consists in making the delin-
quent subsist entirely on bread and
wine. The bread is stepped in bowl
of wine for an hour or more before the
meal is served. The first day tho habit
ual topper takes his food in this shape
without repugnance; tho second day he
finds it loss agreeable to mis- palate: fin
ally he positively loathes tho sight Of
il. Experience shows that period Of
from eight to ten days Of this regimen
is generally more than sufficient to make
man evince the greatest aversion to
anything in the shape OF wine. Many
men after their incarceration become
total abstainers.
