The finest grades of razors are so deli cate that even the famous Damascus sword blades cannot equal them in tex ture. It is not generally known that the grain of Swedish razor is so sensitive that it's general direction is changed. after short service. When you buy a fine razor the grain runs from the upper end of the outer point in diagonal direction toward the handle. Constant strapping will twist the steel until the grain ap- pears to be straight up and down. Sub sequent use will drag the grain outward from the edge, so that after steady use for several months the fibre of the steel occupies 8 position exactly the reverse of that which it did on the day of. pur- chase. The process also affects the tenn per of the blade, and when the grain sets from the lower outer point toward the back, you have razor which cannot be kept in condition, even by the most con- scientious barber. But here's 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 it's first position. The operation can be repeated until the steel is worn through to the back.

PENITENCE.

The following sonnet written by Jennie Por- ter Arnold (now Mrs. Wm. H. Dale) of Hartford, was originally printed in The Press August 27th, 1885, and was widely copied. It has been given a place in Representative American Sonnets" by Charles H. Crandall, recently published by lHoughton & Mif1in, Boston, and is one of three sonnets selected as worthy of special compli- ment, the others being by Longfellow and by Tyrrell. Life is too short, dear love, for unkind
 feeling, Too short for harsh reproach or bitter tone For us should be but gentle words alone; If l have wronged you dear, here let me
 kneeling, Low at your side, in penitence appealing Seek pardon for fault had not known, Save that my love for you so strong had
 grown It passed the bounds of reasons wise concealing. Dear love, by all our past of untold glad
 ness,
 By every loving word and fond caress Which filled our lives with such sweet
 happiness, Forgive, forget that one brief hour of mad
 ness;
 Then you may know the highest joy of
 living
 The God-like peace, the sweetness of fOrgiving.

killed outright, and number of others were more or lees Injured. All houses with a radius of kflometer (.62 of mile) of the scene of the explosion were seriously damaged. Two officers were dangerously wounded, and fully 120 civil ians have been taken to the different hos pitals, suffering from wounds or bruises caused by the explosion. King Hum bert, who was heartily cheered whenever his presence became known to the popu- lace and soldiery, used his own carriage to convey wounded people to the hospital, fact which won him redoubled applause when it became generally known
 The shock did not spare the Vatican. That venerated pile shook with the rest of the Roman buildings when the force of the explosion was felt, and several of the famous historical stained glass windows of the buildings were shattered.

ROME SHAKEN.

About 2 o'clock last Thursday morn- ing tremendous explosion shook the city of Rome (Italy) to its foundations, spread ing terror and dismay on all sides.
 The cupola of the house of parliament shook violently and then collapsed with a crash which added still further to the feeling of terror. The scenes in the streets and houses after this fearful explo- sion have, possibly, never before been equalled in dramatic effect during the history of modern Rome.
 All the thoroughfares were strewn with bricks, stones, splinters and other debris hurled there by the force of the powerful concussion which had caused Rome to totter on it's foundations. In the houses doors, windows and cupboards were burst open, and the tables, chairs and other pieces of furniture were thrown crashing to the floor. Rents and cracks appeared in the walls, the plaster fell from the cell ings, and general desolation prevailed.
 The general opinion that prevailed was that Rome had been visited by an earth quake, and that second shock might re- duce the city to ruins.
 Finally it was discovered that the i'm mense powder magazine at Pozzo Panta- lee, four kilometres (nearly three miles, from the city, had exploded, and that il had caused enormous damage to the neighboring fort, which was filled with soldiers. Happily, the officer in com mand of the fort heard rumbling sound previous to the explosion, and hastily or. dering the soldiers to leave the fort, suc- ceeded in averting terrible disaster. Several peasants who were in the VI cinity of the scene of the explosion were
