1Ae RAZOR eRINplNe rRApn.
Some Odd Facts About an Out Of the Way
New York IndnHtrY.

1--WE get razors from all over the coun-
try" said the proprietor Of a razor grind
ing shop on Center street. 1.-The razor
gets worn down so that honing will not
suffice TO put 1t in condition, and grinding
becomes necessary. Tho razors get into
tho barber shops, and the BARRIERS send
them to us--that Is, they are sent by the
out Of town BARRIERS. We have list of
regular customers in tho city, and our
men visit tho shops to get the razors in
need of repair. All the BARRIERS on Long
Island, up tho Hudson, in Connecticut
and part of New Jersey send their razors
TO New York, sometimes by express, but
most often by messenger. We also got
them from the far northwest-Montana
and Washington state IL seems strange,
doesn't It, that a barber in Wyoming OF
Oregon has TO send his razors from the
Pacific coast clear across tho continent to
the Atlantic to have them put in orderY
But that is fact.
"Only tho largo cities can afford to keep
the appliances necessary for the delicate
work on finely tempered razors. The
principal reason for this Is the high price
of grindstones and a thorough knowledge
OF the craft. Tho only good grindstones
for use on razors como from GermRny
Ohio has grindstones, but they are inferior
for razor sharpening purposes to tho Ger
man article no matter what Ohio manu-
faoturers say. Up to ten years ago 1t was
thought tho reason that we could not tenn
per our razors as we'll as they do it in
England was because Of peculiar def
cheney in our water. That has been proved
to be q fallaoy, as we now manufacture
razors in Massachusetts and in Newark
fully as good as any made in England.
All English razors, you know, are sent to
Germany to be conoavcd. That is because
Of tho superiority of the German grind.

snow falls every winter In four-flfths Of

in the others, the southern point of Flori-

the west coast snow has fallen as far
south as the southern boundary Of Cali

the signal service was established in jan

k Dress HTnt.

If your street gown shows signs Of
wear at the bottom or has shortened, as
some woolen gowns will do, get some
hercules braid and put band smoothly
around the foot of the gown, letting it
come down below the material so as to
lengthen the skirt Hold it little full
when putting it on, so that it will not
draw. 1t is quite fashionable and GER
tainly is economical. If you like, you
can lengthen the skirt with something
and set the braid over that, but the other

all the women's clubs in Kentucky in a
