TRYING TO LEARN.

A Task That Requires AN Immense
Amount OF Genuine Humility.
An open mind is one Of the most DIM
cult as we'll as one Of the finest attain.
ments in life. 10 involves an immense
amount Of genuine humility to be al
ways sitting at the feet Of experience
and trying to learn, instead Of going
about the world with set of opinions
and q neatly-arranged group Of theories
to explain and interpret events. The
men who have complete cast-iron the.
cries of every thing that can happen In
life are numerous; the men who are
waiting to find out what life has to
teach them are few. And yet to be
anxious to be taught Is the only atti.
tude In which we can get from life all
that life has to give us. No sooner do
we embark in business and formulate
our methods no sooner do We become
scientists and guess at q theory, no
sooner do we become preachers and &C.
cept an arbitrary theological system,
than we strsightway shut eyes and ears
and refuse to entertain any suggestion
of different and bettor things; and as
we get older tho limitations of our
minds become m ore apparent until 1t
has become o proverb that leadership
belongs to young men. When we find
an old man like Emerson or Gladstone,
who Is still open to new impressions
and still pursuing with dying feet
knowledge and truth, we feel profound
satisfaction. Here, at last, we say to
ourselves, is a man who approaches our
ideals; q man who has kept his mind
open, and who at seventy or eighty Is
still learning with as much zeal and
enthusiasm as ct twenty or thirty. And
whom We think Of the Joy of such life,
OF Its sustained interest and unfailing
freshness, we can guess at what most
men and women miss and lose. II
there Is to be no dead line in life there
must be no closing Of the mind, no day
when we shall stop and say Of any po.
sition which we have taken or any
method which we have adopted: This Is
final; nothing shall induce mo to change
it." The whole interest Of life lies in
the change which some men endeavor
to shut out from their experience.
Every decade has new secret Of sue
cess to confide to the man who has an
open mind. There are new truths to
be learned In the sciences, new beauty
to be found in the arts, new successes
to be secured in business for the mon
who are looking for the new tools and
waiting for the new impulse. Tho
things already accomplished may be
great enough to afford lasting satisfac.
ton, but they can never be final. The
last stone laid, however substan tial and
beautifully carven, is but the founda.
ton for the next stone; the last fact
wrung from nature Is but the hint Of
the next fact; the last truth shining
suddenly out of some vast experience
thrills men with the prophecy Of a
greater truth to follow. So. to the
open-minded, life sustains and enlarges
itself Christian Union.

HISTORY OF RAZORS.
Shaving Implements of Many Styles m
Peculiar Substances.


Peculiar Substances.
In my wanderings about the world,
writes veteran traveller, being Of the
Esau type, hunter and hairy man,

and bought their facial instruments,
too. The razor Of India, though clum-
sy-looking semi-disc of steel on q
straight handle, does its work in
native hands on scalps Gas religious
rite) and on rough faces very neatly and
comfortably by merely moistening the
epidermis with cold water, soap being
prohibited. Many time has that
primitive instrument crossed my chin
without making scratch. At the
courts OF Oriental tyrants drawing a
drop of blood during the operation of
shaving was a capital offense-a precau-
tionary edict, no doubt.
Mussel-shells were till lately used by
savages for the removal Of hair till the
important discovery that fragment Of
broken bottle is far more effective.
Such is the case with those fierce ISL
anders Of the Andamans, who operated
in this rough fashion on two escaped
Indian convicts whose lives were
spared, as they were considered de-
sirable young men, At for tribal al
lance by marriage. When afterward
rescued these foolish truants described
their sufferings under the ceremonial
installation as terrific and Of long dura-
ton.
Prehistoric man used q fake of flint
to remove his locks and eyebrows,
"disfguring his countenance" on occa-
sions Of mourning. The modern Hindoo
shows his grief at the BARRIERS hands in
