Mr.. John IT. Sullivan as Captain Julian

inent members Of the company. Somehow
or other his emotion reminded me yiyldly
OF an amateur exhibition Of fireworks

pieces exploded prematurely and marred
the effect of the pictures Of which they
were parts, while the little ones which were
set off at the proper time had been damp

Tho Evolution Of tho Razor.

s'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 We're in

sculptures to see that shaving was prac-.
ticed in the earliest times. The faces Of
the old Egyptians are represented III
their statues and basreliefs as clean
shaved, except for the beard on the chin.
body knows: but something is known
about the evolution of the razor in a
general way.
THE first razor was a 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 edgeso OF the shells
they could be ground against one another
SO as to saw off the hairs. Two keen
edged flakes 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 s%uperfuous
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since been superseded by tempered steel.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.
