Curious Freaks OF RazOrs.

The finest grades of razors are so
delicate that even the famous Damascus
sword blades cannot equal them in
texture. 1t is not generally known
that the grain of Swedish razor is so
sensitive that its general direction is
so changed after a short service. When
you buy fine razor the grain runs
from the upper end to the outer point
in diagonal direction toward the
handle. Constant strapping will twist
the steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent use
will drag the grain outward to the edge,
so that after steady use for several
months the fibre of the steel occupies
a position exactly the reverse Of that
which it did on the day of purchase.
The process also affects the temper of
the blade, and when the grain sets
from the lower outer point toward the
back, you have razor which capnot
be kept in condition, even by the
most conscientious barber. But here
another curious freak that will take
place in the same tool; Leave the
razor alone for a month or two, and
when you take it up you will find that
the grain has assumed its first position
The operation can be repeated until the
steel is worn through to the back.

Tree.Trunk Music.

The natives of the New Hebridcs, who
are still addicted to the practice Of an
thropophagy, afford one Of the most
curious subjects of contemporaneous
study to be made upon primitive and
savage populations. Nothing is more
curious than their musical Instruments
They consist Of hollow tree trunks
containing apertures connected by a
vertical slit. These trunks are orna-
mented at the upper part with sculp-
lures representing heads, feet, war clubs
and ships. BY striking each Of them
with a stick, the natives produce some
what cadenced sounds resembling those
of the tomtom, They perform their
dances to the sound of these instru-
ments, after having daubed their faces
red and black
They have also three other musical
instruments; a sort Of trumpet made Of
shell perforated at the side or e&trem-
ity; syrinx with six, seven or eight
pipes, from which they sometimes OBJ
tain harmonious sounds; and long
flute perforated at the lower extremity
and consisting of single piece of BAN
boo with three holes and mouthpiece.
These instruments are used only within
doors in order to amuse children.

Remedy for the Grasshonner Pest.

A member of tho State Board of
Trade, in speaking of the grasshopper
pest which has made its presence
known in some portion of California,
said:
"Flying grasshoppers cannot be
successfully combated, but in Kansas,
where the farmers have suffered great
ly from this pest, the only successful
mode of destroying the you%g ones is
to plOw two deep trenches, about fifty
feet apart, outside of the fields you
wish to protect. Construct one or
more troughs of sheet iron, say four
to six feet long and six TO twelve
inches deep. Attach long chain
thereto, and which can be drawn by a
Lorse, with boy rider. Throw a few
stones into the trough TO give it weight
and build in 1t fire of any light mate
rial. Keep the outfit moving up one
trench and down the other. What
grasshoppcrs might have escaped being
crushed by the weight of similar ap-
paratus will surely be destroyed by
the red-hot sheet iron. If one trough
is found to be insufficient others can
be added, as they can be constructed
cheaply. This has been found to be a
sure medicine in Kansas, and | believe
If it were moro generally known in
California the ranchers could soon rid
themselves of grasshoppers. "-rSan
Francisco Chronicle.

An Ingenious Invention.

An automatic machine which forms,
fills, weighs and seals packages has
been invented, and is intended for use
where large quantities of tobacco, soda,
starch, etc, are put up. Its operations,
while curious, are simple-the working
gear consisting Of series of forming
blocks, receptaces, folders, gummers
and feeders, which produce the pack
age smoothly and continuously. The
forming blocks size the paper, which is
afterward instantly wrapped around
them and folded and gummed at the
end. The paper sacks thus made are
then pssGged into aoceptdoies, :illed,
folded on top and sealed The inventor
claims that il the machine is worked to
its full capacity it will pay for itself in
two hundred and seventy-fye days.

An Old Lady's Resource.

Many years ago, while travelling in
the East, an old English lady with a
good deal of character and a complete
set of false teeth, became temporarily
separated from the rest of her party,
and was soon surrounded by crowd of
Arabs, eager, curious, and clamoring
for bdkshjsh. After while the atten-
tfUnS OF ITeS5 Clff1c7fS'. u ..
became very unwelcome, not to say
positively alarming; so, thinking that
at all events the experiment could do
no harm, she suddenly whipped out
her false teeth and snapped them
vigorously in the faces of the Arabs.
The effect was magical; the horror
struck natives with one accord wheeled
round and took to their heels, and the
lady got back to her tent in safety.

on the Inalhbihiy Of the Pope.

New YORK, April 26.-Two students
of the General Theological Seminary of
the Episcopal Church, in Ninth avenue,
between Twenty and Twenty-hrst
streets. Joined the Roman Catholic
Church on Friday. They are John b.
Werner, of Allentown, Pa, and X.
Morey Ludlow, of st. Louis. They en-
tered the seminary last September. Mr..
Werner, who is % years old, was grad
uated at Muhlenberg College, In Allen
town last June, and Mr.. Ludlow, who
is four years Mr.. Werner's senior, made
his collegiate course at Washington and
Lee University in Lexington, va. One
of the Paulist order OF the Fifty-ninth
street church, received them into the
Catholic Church. Both yonng men are
guests of the Paulists.
A reporter of the sun saw them at
the Paulists' house yesterday. 81 have
for many years believed the doctrines of
the Catholic Church" said Mr.. Werner.
'"The infallibility of the Pope was the
only point could not understand. Last
summer | read many Catholic works,
and ] continued that course OF reading
after entered the Seminary. Finally
decided that the Catholic Church was
the proper place for me-"
Mr.. Ludlow said that his conversion
was effected in manner similar to Mr..
Werner's.
