AN EASY SHAVE.
- oiden Time. Shaving Was Tortur

Olden Times Shaving Was . Tortur-
Gus Business-A Bron.s Rs.or.
"An easy shaver" The words come
trippingly, as If the art, or rather the
mystery of shaving were facile. From
the very earliest ages the problem Of
shaving. like all really great problems,
has perplexed thoughtful men. Why
our paleolithic ancestors began to
shave is unascertained, says the Satur-
day Review. 1t seems 30 easy to let
the chin alone. There may have been
some religious reason, or sexual Sc
lection may have intervened. Women
may have preferred a beardless wooer.
When Alma Venus behaved in th1
manner so POLITICALLY described by
Lucretius, "the most eloquent OF bias
phemers, then the wanton lapwing
procured for himself another crest
and the peacock spread abroad the
splendor of his tail. The beard in
man is averred by philosophers tc
have a corresponding moral. But
man, being reasonable, must needs
cut off his beard. To run in the face
of nature has ever been his way OF as
serting his independence and demon
stratine his lordship of creation.
Ere metals were invented, ere fire
subdued the copper to his will, mar
plucked his beard out, or he tooled
with sharp shell. A soapless shave
with shell-it cannot be called easy
and travellers have described the
agonies of the brave. Conceivably
man shaved because the beard nigh
be caught hold of by an enemy with
the left hand, while with the right hi
drove the pointed flint under the
fifth rib. For whatever reason, mar
in the bronze age shaved with &
bronze razor, as If we should do Sc
with . paper-cutter. The process
must have been slow and painful--a.
much SO as tattooing-but fashion
was all-powerful.

The Nicaragua Canal

The project of the Nicaragua Canal
has been debated in the United States
Senate very vigorously. One thing
should be remembered about that ell
mate, 1t is death to almost every for
eigner who goes there, and laborers es-
pecially succumb. 1t is said that the
Panama Railroad cost life for every
tie. What an idea Of pains and aches
is in this sentence. 1t is mostly due to
carelessness. Every laborer provided
with st. Jacobs Oil would be armed
against these troubles. Mems muscles
there are cramped with rheumatic pain
and they ache all over. That's just the
condition where this sovereign remedy
can do its best work. The fearful NAL.
ady is very much like the break-bone
fever in certain parts Of America.

years, has made a fortune at that u.s.

w,n,, th, Doctor. to Adv.rtis..

The editor of a paper in tho eastern
part OF the state has made an an
nouncement that henceforth he will l
never preface the name of physician
by his professional title Thus, in
stead OF saying "Dr. Sawbones was
among those present" he will say
"a. b. Sawbones was present" He
does this on the ground that medical
ethics discountenance advertising.
and holds that the prefix "Dr." is an
advertisement of calling. "There
is no more reason" he argues, "why
l should Speak OF DR.. Sawbones in the
news reports than OF Grocer Jones, or
Lawyer Smith, or Hotelkeeper Brown.

AN OFT REPEATED STORY OF
TRUE PHILANTHROPY.
What Charles H. Hacklsy Has Done
for Western Michigan.
[From Grand Rapids (Mich.) Evening
Press

FFrom Grand Rapids (Mich.) Evening

The most beautiful spot in all this city is
inseparably associated with the name OF
Hacisley. Chas. Fl. Hackley has been In
the lumber business here continuously since
1856 and In that time has amassed fortune
which gives him q rating among the wealthy
men Of the nation. But with wealth there
did not come that tightening OF the purse
strings which is generally marked charac-
teristic OF wealthy men.
1t is no wonder then that tho name of
Charles H. Hackley is known at home and
abroad His munifcence to Muskegon alone
represents an outlay Of nearly half million.
For the past twenty years he has been
constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheu-
matism, also numbness of the lower limbs,
so much so that 1t has seriously interfered
with his pleasure in life. For some time
past his friends have noticed that he has
seemed to grow young again and to have
recovered the health which he had In
youth.
To reporter for the News Mr.. Hackley
explained the secret Of this transformation.

"with pains in my lower limbs SO severely

make life look very blue. Two years ago
last September noticed an account Of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
what they had done for others, and some
cases so nearly resembled mine that was
interested, so l wrote to one who had given
n testimonial, an eminent professor Of music
in Canada. The reply received was even
stronger than the printed testimonial and 1t
gave me faith in the medicine.
81 began taking the pills and found them
to be all that the professor had told me they
would be. 1t was two or three months be-
fore experienced any perceptible better
ment of my condition. My disease was Of
such long standing that l did not expect
speedy recovery and was thankful even to
be relieved. progressed, rapidly, however,
toward recovery and for the last sig months
have felt myself perfectly well man. l
have recommended the pills to many people
and am only too glad to assist others TO

Gold For Filling Teeth.

People, says dentist, wonder why
gold is used for stopping and are apt
to credit the dentist with employing II
for his own ends, on the ground that he
can charge more and get correspond
ingly larger profits than would be the
case IL he used any baser and less ex.
pensive metal; but, he says in explain.
alton, little reflection would convince
the suspicious ones that there is nc
ground whatever for such ideas, and
that the real reason for using gold is
that 1t will weld while cold and will
successfully resist the action of the
acids and fluids Of the mouth. hence II
is unequalled as a preservative for the
teeth.

HABEAS CORPUS.

G. o. Daley has petitioned Judge
Severance for writ of habeas corpus
for the release of James Smith, who
was recently committed to jail for
thirty days by Justice Julius Reins-
burg, of Madison Lake, in default of
paying his fine. The fine and costs
amounted to 1895, and Smith was re-
leased on 'giving security. This was
on Jan. 31st. On Feb. 18th he was
committed. Attorney Daily bases
his petition on the following three
grounds:
First-That the commitment does
not state or allege that any criminal
offense has been committed.
Second--That the time for which said
James Smith was committed has eX-
PRED by law.
Third-That after judgment was
entered Smith was discharged from
custody and gave security for the pay
ment of his fine and costs and this
was accepted by the justice.
The case was to have been heard
this forenoon, but a continuance un-
til nine o'clock tomorrow morning was
ordered, to allow the county attorney
time to look the matter up.
