The "Teeth" On Razor's Edge.

The edge of razor consists of innum-
merable points or 'teeth, " which, if the
razor is of good material, follow each
other throughout its whole length with
great order aud cleafncss. The unbro-
ken regularity of these minute "teeth"
go to make up the blades excessive keen
ness. The edge acts on the beard not
so much by the direct application of
weight or force as it does by slight
''see-saw" movement, which causes the
"teeth" to act rapidly on one
certain part of the hairy growth. The
best razors, according to the microsco-
pists, have the teeth of their edges set as
regular as those of perfectly set saw.
This explains the magic effect Of hot
water on the razor's blade-the act of
dipping it thoroughly cleansing the
teeth of any greasy or dirty substance
with which they may have been clogged-
BARRIERS often claim that razors ''get
tired" of shaving and that they will be
all right after while if permitted to
take a rest. When in this stirred" con-
dition microscopic examination Of the
edge shows that constant stroppinc by
the same person has caused the teeth or
flores of the edge to all arrange them
selves in one direction. A month of
disuse causes these fibres to rearrange
themselves so that they again present
the Heterogeneous, tooth edge. At
ter this recreation each particle of the
fine edge is up and ready to support his
fellow, aud it again takes some time to
spoil the grain of the blade.--St. Louis
Republic.

From an interesting statistical article
we derive the information that one mil
lion acres of timber land are every year
required for the supply of the timber
necessary upon our railroads. The in
designations made show an annual con-
sumption of so, 00U, 900 ties for repairs
and $4,000, 900 for new construction.
These $4,000, 900 ties use up 800, 900, :
600 cubic feet, draft so great upon this
industry that the Bureau of Forestry has
been led to inquire whether it is not pos
sible to substitute metal for wood and at
price that shall be economical.
The commissioner of this department
is said to have declared under ordinary
management, ten or fifteen million acres
would suffice to keep the supply in rota-
ton, but with the exhausting process
now going on, fifty million acres will be
needed to keep pace with the consump-
ton. Yet railway consumption is but a
single item in the inroad being made
upon our forests.
The question has therefore arisen
whether eventually we shall not be COM
PEELED to initiate our English neighbor5
and adopt iron for use as a railway tie.
To say nothing of the advantage that
would accrue to the iron market, we
have the experience of the London and
Northwestern Railway, on which steel
ties have been in use since 1887, that
they are far more economical and durable
than wood, the total cost of track being
as one to six when all things are consid-
cred. In this country, however, the
main question is how TO preserve our
forests from wasteful destruction. in
New York City we are already familiar
with the use of iron for ties, and the
lesson of economy has been learned

A WORD AS TO SILOs.

The first silos, wholly of masonry,
were too expensive. writes NJ. H. Gard
ner, but the reaction to silos wholly of
wood was carried too far, and they will
in the end prove more expensive than
the masonry ones. The silo of to day
should be composite, substructure of
masonry, superstructure of wood. Such
a one will be rat-proof, and if the ma
sonry be high enough, neatly rot-proof.
Iwould excayate three feet below the
surface and build outer walls aud cross
walls at least six feet high (elght feet
would be better. On these place eight
by eight stills and wooden building
sixteen feet to the plates; floor grouted
and doorways left under the sill, so as
not to have to pitch the silage up over
four feet while standing on the bottom.
Earth to be banked en- outside eighteen
inches high and have troughs to carry off
the rain. Sheathe inside the masonry
with a single wall, which Is easily re-
placed when rotten. AS it is the lower
six or eight feet of a silo that rots, if
the stills be put up high enough to be
kept fairly dry and so intact, and the
lower lining renewable, the life of the
silo may be indefinitely heightened.
Such silo will cost more in the be-
ginning, but be cheaper in the end than
the majority of the present atwood silos
of Wisconsin, which are destined to rot
down in the next few years. Hoard s

Good Manners for Young People.


Be your natural self and take no
thought Of the consequences. Other
people don't observe you half as much
as you imagine In a crowd, the
truth is, you are likely to be forgot
ten, to pass unnoticed. OF course,
if you are not rich enough to dress
as the society Of the rich requires,
keep out Of that society You can
find your own place, and you will en-
JOY it more; nay you will enjoy it
only, for in the other you can have
no pleasure at all.
Many young people are distressed
because they fear they may not make
an exhibition of themselves in So
Ciety which presents their real value.
They are troubled lest they shall be
misunderstood, put down lower than
they belong not rated high enough:
Hence they make an effort to con-
vince those whom they meet that
they are Of some consequence. But
all that is waste of energy, of
thought, anxiety and ambition. 1t
fails of its purpose, and is likely to
produce the very effect which it seeks
to prevent. 1t generates a self-con-
seriousness which breeds embarrass-
ment in turn, and consequent inabil.

and create the hoped-for impression.
Learn to forget all about yourself,
how YOU appear, what other people
may be thinking about you; and then
they Will see you as you really are,
and as YOU are a far more engaging
and interesting individual than YOU
can be when thoughts Of the show
you are making of yourself destroy
your natural manner and expression.

girl who looks on old married men as

Gradual Ossillcation of Young Girl.

One OF the most remarkable ca ses in
the medical history of Louisville, Ky,
has been brought to light by the Medico-
Chirurgical Society. The case is a med
ical sensation, and was revealed at the
last meeting of the society.
The matter in which the doctors are
so much interested is the condition of a
young girl whose muscles are gradually
becoming ossifed. DIR. A. P. Morgan
Vance, whose patient the girl is, declares
it a genuine case of disease so rare and
so little understood as to causes and
treatment that very little has ever been
written OF it in medical books.
The afflicted girl, whose name is En-
ma Schanback, is seventeen years of age
and the daughter of well-to-do German.
Her head is drawn TO one side by the
hardening of the muscles. In the side
of the neck and just under the chin, near
the adams apple, " is bony projection
as hard aud sharp as nail to the touch.
The muscles of the back are so hardened
that she cannot bend over, aud those
about the chest are also ossifed. In the
right arms both biceps and triceps are
affected. Her right arm she keeps in one
position altogether, aud her left she has
but partial control over. The muscles
of the face are gradually suffering, and
are beginning to stand out prominently,
as do those of the neck.
The hardening Of the facial muscles
limits to some extent the motion of the
jaws, but, Notwithstanding this fact, her
appetite is good and she eats as heartily
and with as much relish as an entirely
healthy person.
Miss Schanback's mother stated that
the girl had been subject to acute mus
cular pains since she was about seven
years old. The mother believes the dis
ease has been working on the girl during
these ten years.
The first symptoms, which alarmed the
family aud suggested the necessity of
medical attention, occurred six months
ago, when, in pumping bucket of
water, Miss Schanback was seized with
excruciating pains in the right arm
Strange to say, she now suffers no pain,
and, save for the Inconvenience arising
:lom being unable to move freely, com
plains of nothing. --San Francisco Elk

The creamery at the Iowa Experiment
Station, Ames, Iowa, has quite a large
patronage among the farmers OF the
neighborhood The following rules have
been laid down for the care Of milk to
be delivered TO the creamery. II all
dairymen who deliver milk to factories
would follow them, there would be bet
ter material delivered at some factories
than now.
Tie COWS should be properly fed the
best aud most wholesome food on the
farm. They should not be allowed to
drink out of any slough or stagnant pool
Of water as you use for domestic pur-
poses. Their surroundings should be
sweet aud clean, and the mixers should
be neat in drawing the milk from the
COWS.
The milk utensils, such as pals, strain
ers, cans, ETC., should be of tin. They
should be washed out in not water IN
which some sal soda has been dissolved,
then scalaed and set out of doors to air.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1892-08-13

The milk should be thoroughly cooled
and aerated as soon drawn from tho
COW. And mornings milk should never
be strained in with the nights milk until
it is perfectly cool.
The milk should be kept in the COM
mon setting cans, set in tank of cold
water until just before the collector calls
for it. Then empty the milk into the
delivery cans and place on platform
convenient to the driver. This is for
your own interest as well as ours, for the
earlier the milk gets to the factory the
better shape it will be in, and the skim
milk Will be sent back to the farm better
than it would be otherwise.
The skim milk should be emptied out
of the delivery cans soon as returned
from the factory, and the cans and COW
ers washed and placed bottom side upon
a rack out of doors to air until the next
time. Do not send any sour, tainted,
frozen or impure milk of any kind to the
factory, or any milk from an unhealthy
COW, but send us such milk as you would
use in tea or coffee, or off of which you
would take cream for strawberries or
table use. No other will make fine but
ter. Farm, Field and Stockman.

Silence, In the sense OF absolute
stiffness, is almost unknown in Ma
ture. In her loneliest shrine there is
nearly always a world of small noises,
Of STRINGS and rustlings, CULVER Of
leaves, hum of insects, stir of flower
cts and grass blades, song of birds
only in the desolate Arctic regions,
or the painless desert, does the ex-
plorer enter into the realms of abso-
lutte silence, and then it is oppressive
and terrible. Noise itself may be
missed.
The Dorset poet writes truly when
be speaks Of the over-worked mother
complaining Of the NOISY fun Of her
children; but chrt nicles how, in later
years, when the family was scattered,
some married, some dead, the lonely
old woman looks back to by-gone
days, ~and she do wish, with idle
tears. to have again about her ears
the very noise which once stunned
her.
How terrible is the quietude which
settles over the household after the
death Of child; how dull the silence
that peryades the establishment after
the return of the boys to school, al
belt every one had previously grum-
bled at their "incesSant noise.
1t is said that a miller's wife, leav-
ing the mill after the death OF her
husband, suffered so much from still
ness through missing the clack of the
machinery, that she made her serv-
ant bring the coffee mill INTO her
bedroom every evening ana grind
her to sleep"
Like other grievances, noise itself
may be incurred when missed" The
professed foes of noise often increase
what they attempt to destroy "Name
me, and you break me- is an old
riddle, but not apparently one al
ways remembered by the loud-yoiced
callers for silence.
