It is matter Of common experience
that razor left for awhile unused be-
comes blunt. A writer in Chambers
Journal says that rust caused by the
moisture In the atmosphere ia quite
enough to account for this Shearers,
for instance, who have to use partic-
ularly sharp instruments, never set
their shears till just before using. What
Is not SO generally known is that a ra-
Ior which will not cut will become
sharper sometimes by being left aside
for some time The only explanation Of
this is that the electrical properties Of
the metal in the edge become changed.
A "wire edge" il commonly put on q
tool by amateurs. The steel turns and
folds back on ITSELF 1t is owing to the
edge being made too long and thin, or
the metal being too soft. The only cure
for wire edge is to break Of the bent
portion and grind and set again.

more to do with the good work than

"Fine, finei They have planted the

How tn Brou I'M a Pan.

Have your spider or frying pan very
hot-so hot that a sort of blue haze
arises from it, then grease it lightly
with a small piece of fat. but do not
leave the fat in the pan. This light
greasing is done simply to keep the meat
from adhering. Immediately after
greasing the pan place your meat in it,
allowing it to remain for few seconds
only, then turn it on the other side, thus
quickly soaring both sides to keep in
the juices. About four or five minutes
should be sufficient time to cook steak
an inch thick. After soaring both sides
Of the meat keep the pot covered, only
removing the cover to turn the meat.
