Razors and Home Shaving.

Been shaving yourself, sir?" asked the
barber in tone extensively patronizing.
Eyes. How could you tell?"
"Oh, that's easy enough. I can follow
your tracks. Your neck shows it."
"Well," said l apologetically, feeling as
If had committed crime, 1.-The trouble is

ner BARRIERS have, and said nothing for q
few strokes.
How do you keep razor in order?"
asked with humility, whereupon seeing
himself approached with becoming respect,
the barber delivered the following extern
pore address on the subject Of caring for
raZors.
'It would take you long time to under
stand the razor" said he, as if deciphering
hieroglYphics were child's play in compari-
son. 'In the first place, you must learn to
hone your razor. See," and he drew forth
tenderly white, smooth stone, and apply
ing to it the fat blade moved it diagonally
back and forth with a scientific motion.
Then he laid the keen edge against his
thumb nail and made an observation.
"Now it's right" he said triumphantly,
"just alike from end TO end, but it's hard

THE next thing is to know how to strop
your razor when you've got the edge right
And the hard part of that is to keep your
strop in order. Look at this one" two
broad straps Of leather and canvas used al
ternately) Notice how soft they are.
That is because l keep them oiled just
enough. l pay dollar for brand new
strop, and six months later would not
sell it for two dollars, because I've had the
trouble of breaking it in. It's the same
way with razors; they're worth twice as
much after they've been used.
Another thing you amateurs don't IN
derstand is that man needs dull razor
in shaving just as much as a sharp one.

When Old Jack Died.


When Old Jack died we staid from school dhey
said
At home we needn't go that day. and none
OF US ate any breakfast-only one,
And that was papa-and his eyes were red
When he came round where we were by the
shed
Where Jack was lying, half way in the sun
And half way in the shade. When we begun
To cry out loud, pa turned and dropped his
head
And went away; and mamma. she went back
Into the kitchen. Then, for long while,
All to ourselves like, we stood there and
cried;
We thought so many good things of Old Jack,
And funny things-although we didn't
smile
We couldn't only cry when Old Jack died.
When Old Jack died it seemed a human friend
Had suddenly gone from US; that some face
That we had loved to fondle and embrace
From babyhood no more would condescend
To smile on US forever. We might bend
With fearful eyes above him, interlace
Our chubby fingers DER him, romp and race,
Plead with him, cali and coax-aye, we might
send
The old halloo up for him, whistle, hist
Qf sobs had let usl, or, as wildly vain,
Snapped thumbs, called Speak" and he
had not replied;
We might have gono down on our knees and
kissed
The tousled ears, and yet they must remain
Deaf. motionless, we knew, when Old
Jack died.
When Old Jack died it tseemed to US, some way
That ali the other dogs in town were panied
With our bereavement, and some that were
chained
Even unslipped their collars on that day
To visit Jack in state, as though to pay
A last sad tribute there; while neighbors
craned
Their heads above the high board fence, and
deigned
To sigh Poor dogl" remembering how they
Had cufed him when alive, perchance, be-
cause,
For love of them, ne leaped to lick their
hands
Now that ne could not, were they satisfied
We children thought that, as we crossed his
paws,
And Ger his grave, way down the bottom
lands
Wrote our First Love Lies Here" when
Old Jack died.

If men cared less for wealth and fame,

Would learn to hate it and abhor it;
If more relied
On Love TO guide,
The world would be the better for It.

And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
Ef Loves work had more willing hands
To link this world with the supeFnal;
If men stored up Loves oil and wine
And on bruised human hearts would pou,

If'yours" and mine"
Would once combine,
The world would be the better for it.
If more would act the play of Life,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
If Bigotry would sheath its knife
Till good became more universal: E
If Custom, gray with ages grown, ~
Had fewer blind men to adore it
If Talent shone
In Truth alone,
The world would be the better for it.
If men were wise in little things
Affecting less in ell their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindred feelings;

Would strike together to restore it

A FRENCH RAILWAY HORROR.

PARIS, July 27--The latest reports re-
ceived from St. Mande, near Vim
cennes, the scene of the collision yester-
day between two excursion trains loaded
with passengers returning from musical
festival at Fontenoy, show that forty-nine
people were killed and that 100 people
were injured by the accident. Six people
died after being extricated from the ruins.
The details of the accident now being re-
Ceived from St Mande show that the col
Iision was most terrible affair The en-
gine of one of the excursion trains tele-
scoped three carriages loaded with eXcur-
siOnists, and at the same time the reser-
voir of gas on the damaged train exploded
and set fire to the wreckage. Scores of
people were pinioned down, wounded and
helpless, beneath the ruins of the three
carriages. In a very short time the flames
spread to such an extent that numbers of
the wounded were slowly roasted to death
before the eyes of those who were doing
their utmost to rescue them.
