pality either In It's relations TO the steadily
croach!ng power OF the State or to the new and
intensified demands for freer and larger scope
In local administration which have followed the
expansion Of urban boundaries and the increase
Of urban population The author sketches with
accuracy and funess of information the general
schemes Of organization to which the creators
Of municipalities In this and other countries
have adhered; but no adequate summary Is at
tempted Of the main drift Of municipal policy,
nor Is any effort made to mark the limit
of the so-called Socialistic functions in which
the energies OF municipal administration are
being more and more absorbed. That the from
tier OF the realm Of governmental functions will
continue to be in the cities the author cursori-
~ suggests; but the interesting problems In
voived in the deimitation OF that frontier are
left practically untouched.
Perhaps the most pointed and positive OF DR..
Wilcox's conclusions is embodied in his earnest
protest against the tendency Of city charter
makers to concentrate too much power in the
hands Of a single responsible executive. Those.
he says. who wish 10 concentrate all power and
responsibility in the Mayors hands seem TO
think that any one chosen by popular vote must
be capable OF efficient administration IL he is
kept constantly under the public gaze. This Is
the egotsm OF democracy. The best ex-
perence Of the States of Europe is distinctly OPP
posed TO the one-man power in municipal gov
eminent Outside the United States the council
IL everywhere the central authority OF the city.
In England the committees Of the council absorb
even the executive and administrative functions
OF the corporation. German municipal admins
tration Is carried on by boards. In France the
Mayor IS vested with the whole executive au-
thority OF the commune but he is put under a
strong central control There is some danger
that the American movement for the concen-
ration of power may degenerate into rad
II is the effort OF the people 10 get some one 10
govern them and thus avoid the trouble OF self
government" On the whole. however. Dr. Will
cox Is willing to admit that perhaps the strong
Mayoralty Ia the staff upon which an American
city must lean until the people come to know
each other better and grow into civic unity.

Curious freaks of Raznrs.

The finest grades of razors are so del
icate that even the famous Damascus
sword blades cannot equal them in tex
ture. 1t is not generally known that the
grain OF a Swedish razor is so sensitive
that its general direction is changed
after a short service.
When you buy fine razor, the grains
run from the upper end of the outer
point i'll diagonal direction toward the
handle. Constant stropping 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 several
months the fiber of the steel occupies a
position exactly the reverse of that
which it did on the day Of purchase.
The process also affects the temper of
the blade, and when the grain sets from
the lower outer points toward the back
you have razor which cannot be kept
i'll condition even by the most conscien-
tious barber.
But here's another curious freak that
will take place in the same tool:
1t you leave the razor alone for
month or two and take it up, you will
find that the grain has assumed its first
position. The operation can be repeated
until the steel is Worn through to the
back.-Strand Magazine.

THE CAR ROLLED ON.
And He Was Still Nickel Ahead of the
Woman In Black.

And He Was Still n Nickel Ahead of the
Woman In Black.
A red faced woman in a black gown
and black bonnet came aboard a Eu-
cid avenue car last Monday and seated
herself next to a young man whose face
was concealed behind Plain Dealer.
When the conductor came around,
she handed him ticket.
'Not good on this line, ma'am,' he
said and handed it back.
The woman in black gage a sniff.
''That's too bad," she said. "I
s'posed it was just as good On this line
as any other. The conductor told me it
was. Aud I'm sure haven't got any
more change. I'm goin out to my daugh-
ter's house. She's sent for me. She's
very sick and so anxious to see me. I
don't know what III do" And she
shifted again.
"Well," " said the conductor coolly,
"I'm sorry, Of course, but no pay no
ride. And he reached for the bell.
The woman in black looked at the
young man with the newspaper. He
met her gnze
Madam" he said, "I'll buy your
ticket for a nickel"
The woman hesitated, and the con-
ductor smiled and furtively winked at
a fat man in the rear seat. The ex-
change was made, and the conductor
passed along.
II hoped" said the young man,
"that your unfortunate daughter was
better by this time. -
The woman in black darted venom
Gus look at him.
ooh. yes, he said, eve have met
before, and you are still q nickel ahead
Of me. -
Then he went back to his Plain
Dealer, and the car rolled on.-Cleve-
