'Does it ever occur to you to wonder,
when you complain of the torture of
shaving, how men managed to keep
their faces clean before the exquisitely
tempered steel razors of today were in
vented?" said scientist.
"You have only to observe the ancient
sculptures to see that shaving was prac-
ticed in the earliest times. The faces of
the old Egyptians are represented in
shaved, except for the beard on the chin.
What sort of razors did they use? No
body knows; but something is known
about the evolution of the razor in a
general way.
1.-THE first razor was pair of clam or
mussel shells, with which our savage
ancestors pulled out the hairs of his
head by grasping them as with pincers
In the course Of time it was found out
that by sharpening the edges of the shells
they could be ground against one another
so as to saw off the hairs. Two keen
edged fakes of stone could be employed
for the same purpose, as the Mexican
Indians utilize bits of obsidian. AS a
rule the straight haired and scant beard
ed races today. like the North American
Indians, pluck out their boards. The
Polynesians get rid of their superfluous
hair with chloride Of lime, which they
manufacture by burning coral
"When the bronze age arrived razors
were made of that material, which has
since been superseded by tempered steel.
The latest razors are fire and electricity.
BARRIERS of the most advanced school
nowadays SINCE the hair instead of cut
ting it, and an electric needle is used to
destroy hairs where they ought not to
grow by being thrust into the follicles,
slight current killing the roots. y

A FAMOUS TRIAL RECALLED.

Mr.. Peter Middlekauff, died Sunday
evening at his home in Leitersburg,
Md, aged about SO years. Mr.. Mid
dlekauff was the last survivor of II
men composing the jury in the famous
Swami murder trial in Washington
county about the year 1854. The case
was moved from Allegheny county.
William Sprigg, Of Cumberland, during
the heated political discussion with
Thomas Swami, being provoked and
vexed, deliberately spat in the face of
the latter. Swami shot Sprigg on the
spot. Both men were widely known
and of distinguished parentage. 1t
was many days before jury could be
empaneled and the trial Of the case
was one of the longest and most inter
esting ever concluded. Swami was
acquitted. The jury was out over a
week before a verdict was reached.
The first juror selected was locked up
several days alone before another one
was drawn.
The end of Swami was very dis
tressing one, being burned to such an
extent that death resulted, by the ex-
plosion of lamp in a hotel in Rich
mond, Va.

A BIG OWL.

Mr.. Sam Lafevre, of near Bedington,
brought to town yesterday a live owl
measuring feet and inches from the
tips of its wings. The owl was taken
to the Continental Hotel to be present
ed to Mr.. S. H. Freeze, and in some
way got loose. 1t required but short
while before the Office was vacated,
and the owl left alone to run matters
to suit itself. Presently Mr.. Freeze put
in his appearance, and after some lit
tie trouble succeeded in capturing the
bird. 1t was not deemed necessary
to placard the bird "hands off, as
every one present at'the time made
themselves very scarce. Even Mr..
Ran Ramer concluded it might register
without any instructions from him
Mr.. Freeze will keep the owl in his
livery stables on West Burke Street.
