THE MAN WHO SLAVES.
Some Suggestions Which Will Prevent
Trouble.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Shaving is practlced by nearly every man,
but is properly done by very few. If you are
often shaved by barber you should select
one who does not rub his hand hard over
your face, as a great many do, to ascertain
whether you have been closely shaven. This
win irritate the skin very easily and make
Jumps appear. Very often. after a barber
has gone over your face once with a razor
and is finishing the shave. he will give your
face an upward stroke with the palm of his
hand, using pressure between each stroke
OF the razor, to see that no patches of
beard remain.
After a shave you should be very careful
to keep your hands away from your face,
as the skin Is more tender then than at any
other time. If you shave yourself you
should have your razor honed at least three
times a year, to keep 1t in good order You
should also have good strop, with a can
vas part, for rough sharpening, as well as
smoothing strop.
In buying strop it is well to have a
barber select it, then you will be sure to get
a good one.
Before shaving, it is well to wash the
face with soap in warm water, as there are
apt to be germs in the least little bit of dust
or anything that might be on your face
One cannot be too careful about this, for a
cut of the razor, ever so small, is apt to
MAKE al ugly sore II the SKIN Is not per-
fectly clean. A wash before shaving will
also soften the beard.
All men should learn to use both hands
in shaving Many attempt to shave both
sides of the face with one hand and usually
succeed in cutting themselves In fact
many men cut themselves whenever they
attempt to shave. This difficulty could be
overcome If both hands We're used. The face
should be well lathered with shaving SOAP
kind that does not dry quickly then the
lather should be well rubbed in the beard
with the tips of the fingers, which softens
II to such an extent that one does not have
to contend with the razor pulling which
not only hurts severely, but irritates the
skin.
In cold weather the skin should be thor
oughly sponged In warm water and after
ward In cold water, which keeps II from
becoming chapped Before the face has
been dried little witch hazel should be
rubbed on. Then, after wiping this off. tall

which, If You dampen and apply to the cut,
will close it up quickly. so that If small,
it cannot be seen.
After you have finished using the razor
1t should be washed. then dried until not
a damp spot remains, then sharpened on

IL these directions are followed you will find
that 1t is not such a disagreeable ordeal to

would seem a much more difficult, if not i'm
possible, achievement
1t has been accomplished however, for
there is in existence a wonderful piano, the
notes of which are given forth by flints, ar
ranged in a regular scale The tones of this
geological piano are of remarkable quality.
Mozart dreamed of an orchestra of stones
for the Magic Flute" If the patience and
skill of the pianos creator and owner, Mr..
Honore Baudre, could be carried on to fur
ther lengths, 1t is not impossible that such
an orchestra could be forthcoming.
1t was work of years for M. Baudre to
make the collection of f1ints which consti-
tute his geological piano. They are now to
be seen at an exhibition which is being held
at Brest. The stones do not belong to the
class of resonant rocks known as ''phono-
lytes. such are found in Auvergne, not
far from Mont-Dore, but are f1ints collected
by M. Baudre with infinite toll and search,
each giving when struck a true musical
note.
By accident while taking a country walk
one day he picked up a flint and CHANGING
to strike it heard a faint note respond to
the blow. The idea took hold of him to
gather, If possible, enough f1ints to form a
complete chromatic scale. Difficulties In
the search for such stones only increased
his ardor. For more than thirty years he
pursued the quest, making 1t the principal
aim of his life to form out Of a collection of
fints the instrument he called the "geoIogi-
cal piano.
After many years he had at length got to-
gether the full scale in flint notes, and nu-
merous examples Of each, with the excep-
tion Of one. He had been so far unsuccess-
full in putting his hand on the first DO"
Perhaps 1t did not exist in nature. He gave
up hope that he could meet with It in
France. He would try Canada. But the
New World showed no trace of the initial
note Of the octave. and M. Baudre returned
to his native land resigned to the notion
that the chase must be abandoned in his
old age. Fortune once again smiled, and
the stone Of which he despaired suddenly
appeared as he was walking in Berry
Advanced in years. he now passes his
leisure in playing, as he does with skill, on

Hoodlum and Hooligan.
From the London Chronicle.

guage. Its use without capital 'H'' Is
the seal Of it's fit and proper worth, and a
sign that the word has come to stay But it
Is to be hoped that the pests so named will
be speedily eradicated, even as the kindred
word hoodlum in the American vocabulary
has survived the ruf1ian who gave it birth.
Thirty years ago the California cities were
infested by gangs of roughs as London is
today. The leader of the Frisco ruff1ans
was one Muldoon: and an inventive repor-
ter, casting round for a word to describe
them. hit upon the Idea Of inverting the
name, and dubbed them noodlum The
compositor mistook the ''n' for I'll" and
set up the word 'hoodlum," which hence
forth passed into current use, and SO into
the dictionary. The coincidence between
California hoodlums and London hooligans
is striking: for the latter has been polit-
fcally turned into Hughligans. so hoodlum
is now chiefly employed in the states as
political epithet.

him to urge its claims. His statement that
four of the six states in the Australian

most delightfully."- entertained a
large number of friends on the
occasion of the fifteenth anniver-
sary of their marriage day last
Friday night. Many of their
guests were taken entirely I'M
awares as to the significance of
the event, the elegant cards of in
vitation having borne only the in
scription of reception. The
scintillant profusion of cut glass,
lovingly sent by neighbors and
intimate friends who had investi-
gated the matter and learned the
inside facts,'' soon initiated the
pardonably ignorant. This bit of
strategy on the part of the hand
some and modest hostess touched
the hearts of her friends as moth
ing else could have done, and shed
a halo of purest delight through
out the evening, like the blush of
the morning in its unconscious
loneliness and unobtrusiveness.
There were nearly hundred
guests present in the elegant
home, and a choice menu was
served at table. The scene was a
brilliant one and reflected great
credit upon those whose hos
pitality was so generous and so
much enjoyed. So in keeping
with the big-hearted Christmas
time was the evening, with its
joyous life, its music and good
will, that DR.. and Mrs. McNair's
Crystal Wedding will be remem-
bered as the initiative toward the
festal, farewell season of the year

brightly beam for them; and may
many succeeding cycles of time
be but reflections of all happiness
and prosperity that have attend
ed them thus far on life's Journey

some little memento of his com

we don't remember such thing
as having ever occurred, land as for

which was always worn with long
legged pants in the winter time,
and which latter article of wear
ing apparel lacked about three
inches of meeting the tops of our

We say on reflection. that we
never knew what Santa Claus
was, but our childish heart had
heard of him, and we shall ever
hold in fondest remembrance
those happy hours of expectancy
previous to the dawn of the
Christmas morn. How much
more happy is that boy or girl
who finds then that his or her
fondest dreams have been realized
and that Santa Claus has brought
them something. - Monticello
