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 a Swedish razor is so
sensitive that the general direction is
changed after a. short sewice. When
you buy a fine razor the grain runs
from the upper end of the outer pcint
in a 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 from the
edge, so that after steady use for sever
al months the fiber OF the steel ocCu-
pies a position axactly the reverse of
that which it did on the day Of the
purchase. The process also effects
the temper Of the blade, and when the
grain sets from the lower and outer
point toward the back, you have razor
which cannot be kept in condition,
even by the most conscientious barber.
But here's another curious freak that
will take place in the same too 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 re
peated until the steel is worn thorough
to the back.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Avarice is greedy egotism.
Morning is the rosebud of day.
Love IS an unforgetable emotion.
What's money without happiness
Marriage is materialized moon
shine.
Youth brightens as it takes its
flight.
Stubborn audacity is the last
refuge of guilt.
Women are weapons Of ofense
and defense.
No man ever loved woman while
he was busy.
The hardest headed man was born
with soft spot.
No man can be hero when his
liver is out of order.
Manners are the final and per-
feet flower of noble character.
1t Is not always man who looks
like a fool who is one.
There is no time in life when books
do not influence man.
1t is gentle manners which prove so
irresistible in women.
1t is hard to find fault with people
who think just as we do.
To endeavor to forget anyone is the
certain way to think of nothing else.
Little minds are too much wounded
by little things great minds see all, an d
are not ever hurt.
Blessed be mirthfulneSs 1t is one of
the renovators of the world. Men will
let you abuse them if only you will
make them laugh.
The moment d man finds contadic-
ton in himself between his amuSements
and his humanity, i: is a signal that he
should give them up.

DANGEROUS HAYMAKING.
In the Alps The aay is Gathered III Ferii-
Gus Places.

This pleasant mountain mower is aC-
customed to all the perils of the noun
tain, and the Gay before the moving
season begins-a day fixed by com
munal decree-he bids fairwel, per-
haps for the last time, to his wife and
children.
His scYthe on his shoulder, armed
with his iron shot stick, provided with
his clamp irons, cloth or net rolled
up IN his bag, he sets out at midnight,
IN order that the dawn may find him at
his work.
During the two months of hay har-
vest he goes down to the village only
three or four times to renew his supply
of food or linen. By this hard and
perilous occupation an Alpine mower
makes from 90 cents to ST a day, his
food not included and many times uU
der some projecting rock he must seek
bed and pass the night.
Once dried, this wild hay is carefully
gathered into cloth or net and carried
down to the first little PLAIN, where il
can be made into a stack, which is
loaded with large stones to prevent its
beng blown away.
In winter, when everything IS covered
with snow, the mower Climbs again the
perpendicular side of the mountain

ach even had a chance to assert
itself. You may be sure | was well
served with good supper, as hot
and steaming and dainty as an Eng
ligh girl could make it. Then when
we had spent another hour in eating
it and | helped clear the dishes away
and wash them, and my friend had
decided 10 let the sweeping go until
the morning, because | must start
early, the old father, bluff, tacirurn
man, came in and joined the conver-
sation with US, and | quite forgot
my weariness until it was very late.
My new found friend, the old
gentleman, was a person of some
authority in the place, and off red o
provide me with an escort OF twelve
mounted men to Buenos Ayres,
which was some 900 miles across the
open plains were two hostile tribes
were at war. Each tribe had a
cockade as a badge-one of red, the
other of white. By having both of
these sorts of cockades in our
pockets and dexterousIy pulling out
the right one when a company OF
armed men approached us we hoped
to pass all lines safely, and the event
proved happy though we had some
narrow escapes.
When l was ready to start in TIE
morning | suddenly, hait jokingly,
asked the young woman to whom l
had become much attached in a
single evening to accompany me as
far as her old home in Cuba, and
promised her father to take good
care OF her. Somewhat to the aston
ishment of US all, that OF the young
woman not the least, she took the
notion of begging her father to let
her accept my offer, and he finally
consented.
We were just in the nick at time
at Buenos Ayres to head of'the run
away ship. The captain had taken
out his papers, already when we
arrived, and was planning to sail the
next morning: But he and all his
mates were quietly arrested while
still on shore, and l myself took
command of the vessel, shipped
new crew and with my newly dis
covered treasure from the heart OF
the desert, sailed tor the West Indies
where | spent happy month at the
young lady's home in Cuba.
1t is needless to saw that she
became Mrs Farlow, and you are
quite well enough acquainted with
her to excuse me from eXpatiating
further upon her beauty and other
attrf ctive qualities.

REDEEMING BANK NOTES.

Many an interesting story might be
told of the manner in winch bank notes
are sometimes redeeme writes Harold
W. George in the ChatauguaR.
They are sent to the treasury depart
ment in every conceivable form.
Sometimes men will hide their money
IN ca.mney,, and th= good housewife,
ignorant of the whereabouts of the
treasure, will build up fire that heats
the chimney and sets fire to the vaua-
bic contents. Mice and rats, particu
larlY IN stores and banks, steal the pre-
clous paper out of tiIls and carry it away
to make nests. Dogs destroy and
swallow it; and goats, which are SAID
TO exist at times on tin cans and back
lot deposits, are on record at the treas
ury as having tried to live on rolls of
money which came in their way. In
cases OF this kind the animals are killed,
unIess thought to be more valuable than
the money lost, and the little wads of
pellets found in the somachs of the
offending quadrupeds are rescued and
forwarded for redemption. Babies
have also been known to swallow
valuable bank notes, but there is 10
record OF one having been killed to
make it disgorge what it had eaten.
1t is rule that no bank mole can be
redeemed unless at least three, fifths of
it are presented at the treasury, or the
loser makes affidavit that his money
was lost under circumstances such as
to preclude its recovery. The strong
est kind of evidence is necessary to
make the government officials redeem
lost or destroyed money when the
notes in question are not forthcoming.

WAYS OF PERSUADING MEN.

Mrs. Seymour Howell thought there
were two ways to persuade men-one
by the power Of love and the other by
reason OF fear, She said: ain Wash
ington Territory we needed Just one
more vote in the Legislature to give US
the right OF suffrage. The only man
we had any hope of was one whose
wife had almost persuaded him. When
the roll-call came, and Just about the
time this mans name was to be
called, big brewer who was fighting
the bill took stand by his side. His
wife was asked If there was any hope
of getting him to change his vote, and
said: No; l have said everything l
could say to him. Write to him,
suggested some one. write love-
letter. And this is what she SAID to
him:
Ny darling, if you love me, vote for
woman's suffrage
That love- letter carried the day.
He was just about to cast his vote
when the note reached him. He
opened 1t, read it, and then in a voice
that rang through the chamber said:
Mr.. Speaker | vote aye
Girls try loye-letters. They have a
great power over men.
And then Mrs. Howell said if love
letters wouldn't do, the wives might try
the plan OF the woman who had her
husband in deadly fear of her He
was member of the Legislature and
his wife had insisted upon his voting
for a woman's suffrage bill. He had
promised to do so, but his better hall
was afraid 10 trust him, and so on the
day the bill was to come up she HE'D
herself to the gallery in the legislative
hall. The roll was being called and
when the husbands name was reached
he got up and said:
Mr.. Speaker, regret to cast my yvote
against the BILL
At this instant tall woman, with a
penetrating voice, leaned over the
gallery rail and said:
Wllbert2
And then Wilbert's knees began tc
shake. He said in a trembling voice
Mr.. Speaker, l vote aye.

censure always do il in their hearing.
You may rest assured, if you pursue
course of this kind, they will not return
to you unladen with intelligence, and
rather than it should be uninteresting
they will by degrees learn to em0elish
in such a manner as shall not fail to
call forth remarks and expressions of
wonder from you. You will by this
course render the spirit of curiosity,
which, is SO early visible in children,
and which, if rightly directed, may be
the instrument of eurichlng and enlarg-

which will serve only to make them

THE MODEST LOVER.

When Charles called on his love, one night.
He found the girl engaged in weeping,
And though engaging was the sight
He deemed it mewhat out of keeping
Because she was engaged to him,
And SO he asked her why she cried,
And she with her eyes ooth moist and dim.

Dear Charles, had to cry, you see,
Be-becausc my mind was in whirl:
Sup-sup-supposey you never had met me,
And gone ana loved some other giri?
Suppose, dear Charles, you'd unmarried her
Be-betOre our uriship had begun;
JuJust such course you might prefer,
B-but, darling, what would have done?''
Charles stood ana twirIed his mustache tips,
And rose in hi- own estimation;
Then bent and kissed her on the lips,

Then gave the tips another twill;
