safety razors can be rapidly sharpened
on an ordinary strop This device is
the invention of William H. Douglas,
of New Jersey. In the majority of
safety razors the short blade is set at
right angles with the handle, and it is
necessary to detach the blade from the
safety. guard in order to sharpen it.
This makes it obligatory to provide
some means to- hold the blade in a ,po-

similar to the ordinary blades. It has
been difficult matter to hold the blade
and turn it readily in the hand, but
with the new apparatus the blade is
inserted in the grip provided for that
purpose, and the handle is grasped as
shown in the illustration. The rollers

Rev. Samuel f. Pearson, the sheriff
of Cumberland county. Me. is a man
of strong individuality. He is a re-
formed drunkard, and in his early days
reached a level OF degradation from
which since his conversion to abstin-
ence he has done much TO rescue 9TH
ers. He was probably the first man
in Maine to vote the straight prohibit
ton ticket He voted it, indeed if 1t
be not paradoxical to say SO, before
there was a prohibition ticket in the
field, by writing Neal Dow's name on a
slip of paper. One of the election off,
GERS held it up and said: This is Sam
Pearson's vote; We'll count it scatter
ing" And young Pearson answered
with spirit: We'll scatter Ii till the
rum shops Of Maine are closed" Mr..
Pearson served with distinction in the
civil war. After the war he settled in
Portland In 1872 he began his gospel
mission work, and since that date he
has held 1928 services, conducted 357
funerals and 229 marriage ceremonies
and, with Mrs. Pearson, has made 49,
347 visits to the poor. In England he
secured over 100000 pledges to temper
ance. He Is an indefatigable worker
and q man of tremendous energy.
