SELECTING A RAZOR.
Ne Blade In Good That Does Not Give
Out q Clear Sound Like q
Tuning Fork.

More than two-thirds Of all the men
in the civilized world shave themselves
or are shaved by BARRIERS, therefore the
razor is an implement always in good
demand. Few know how to choose one.
DR.. Edouard Di Prato, who has used
many hundreds, went into q cutlery
store near City Hall park, in New York,
to make a purchase of rs. "Please let
me see your stock" he said. Several
dozen large cases were placed before
him. He took each razor for examina-
ton. All looked alike. They were
made by one firm and guaranteed, but
he cast aside more than half as unde-
sirable. In testing he laid the blade
fat upon his thumb nail and drew 1t
slowly from end to end, pressing just
firmly enough to show the hardness or
softness of the temper. At first 1t
seemed that he was about to sever his
thumb. Satisfied with the temper, he
proceeded to flip the edge with the tips
of his fingers, making tuning fork of
the metal. II it had the right ring he
accepted it. ~ took me Is years to
learn this" he said.-N. Y. Post.

Study of Ordinary Clay.

An investigation extending over many
years has shown H. J. Gamble that all
ordinary clay loses its cohesive proper
ties on being dried until nearly all its
moisture is expelled. On being
drenched with much water such clay be-
comes almost liquid mud; but clay that
has not been so dried does not absorb
more water, and loses only some of its
outside particles in the washing. A
block of the dry clay absorbed so per
cent. of its weight of water without
change of form, suddenly collapsing into
a fluid condition when the amount
reached 60 per cent. Landslides and
washouts seem to be largely due to this
overlooked change in clay; and river
bluffs remain unaffected because the clay
has never dried sufficiently to acquire
the property Of soaking up an excessive
proportion of water.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kid
ney and bladder ills. Read the fol-
lowing case:
Veteran Joshua Heller, FOG South
Walnut street, Urbana, Ill.,. says: I'm
the fall of 1899 after getting Doan's
Kidney Pills at Cunningham Bros.
drug store in Champaign and taking
a course of the treatment I told the
readers of this paper that they had
relieved me of kidney trouble, dis
posed of lame back with pain
across my loins and beneath the
shoulder blades. During the inter-
val which has elapsed I have had oc-
casion to resort to Doan's Kidney
Pills when noticed warnings of an
attack. On each and every occasion
the results obtained were just as sat-
isfactory as when the pills were first
brought to my notice. just as EN-.
phatically indorse the preparation to-
day as I did over two years ago."

ney medicine which cured Mr.. Heller

ALL ALONE.

I sat and watched the sun go down,
And watched the world go dark;
Then round about me, up and down,
Small lights flashed out to mark,
Like stars. wee spots amidst the gloam,
Each that to some one dear had grown;
Not one but marked place called home;
sat and watched the lights fash out.
But was all alone.
I sat and watched the moon come up,
And heard the nightbird call; ..a..-
And round me moonflowers ope'd their cup
To catch the night dew's fall:
And one by one the lights went dead,
The night birds grooming tone
Was hushed. the whole world seemed abed;
Man, bird and beast, each had their mate;
But was Ill alone!
And midnight darkness held the world
Like huge thing enthralled:
Days ev'ry banner had Been furled:
NOR wind nor nibhtbird called
Across the heavy lying dark.
Nor cen the pillows moan;
Cne worlds grisly thing and stark
At midnight's heavy voiceless hour
When one 10 all alone.

Prot. George Lincoln Burr, Of Cornell.
who lately toured New England on his BIZ
cycle in order to gather facts about witch
craft, is an authority on the history of SUI
pe1stition ard persecution, and is also a
indefatigable wheelman. Prof. Burr, with
his bicycle, has penetrated many primitive
and secluded parts of the United States.
From these journeys, says an eastern ex-
change, be returns with little stories that
are now quaint. now strange, now humor-
Gus. A story of the latter sort concerns .
visit to Tennessee.
II arrived one night at . mountaineer'a
cabin" said the professor, "and asked for
shelter for the night: The good people were
very hospitable. They gave me comfort
able bed and An excellent meal.
While was eating the meal my host
watched me narrowly to see that had every
thing | wanted. He kept ordering hie wife
to fill my glass, to bring me more bread, and
piece Of apple pie, he exclaimed in an indig-
0ant tone:
Jane, why don't you bring the gentle
man 4 knife? Don't you see him here tryin'
to eat his pie with fork?'"

wasDs' Sense Of Location.

There Is no doubt among naturalists
that many insects have certain senses
that human beings have not The sense
of location shown by the wasp, for ex-
ample, IL remarkable. The bombex
species builds its nest in q sandbank
that is only a part of several acres of
such soil, and, when it leaves in search
Of food, it covers up the nest SO care
fully that no ordinary eyes could dis
tinguish its location; that is to say, it
is 1ust like all the surrounding surface.
And yet the wasp flies back. to 1t with
out hesitation, and finds it without max
ing a mistake There is another wasp
that unerringly locates the eggs of the
mason bee under thick layer of sun
baked clay, and deposits her own eggs
IN the same cells that her young may
have food when they are hatched

PREDEST1NED TO BULLET.
Deadly Diphtherin Culture Did Not
Affect Man Doomed to q Diff
ferent Death.

In the experience of DR.. Adolph Gehr.
mann, Of the Columbus laboratories,
there has been at least one man under
his observation who, born to die by a bull
let, has been immune to the germ of diph-
iberia under most aggravated circum.
stances.
Dr.. Gehrmann was speaking OF the in
frequency of laboratory infection of any
kind, and, failing to recall one instance
of such infection where it had occurred
in laboratory work, he recalled a case
where, in class in the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, an act that ordinari-
ly would be classed as suicidal was made
simply story for laughter, that the sub
ject of it might become the victim of an
Arizona bullet several years later.
Before a class in the school on that
particular morning specimen of diph-
iberia was passed down the line in a cup
with a small brush in it, in order that
the students might put touch of the
matter upon the slides for microscopic
examination Of the germs This particu-
lar student, who seemed to have been
marked for an Arizona graveyard, mis-
took the purpose of the cup and brush.
When it was passed to him, thinking It
was wash in the treatment of the dis
ease, and desiring to feel its effect, he
took the brush, opened his mouth wide,
and swabbed his throat vigorously.
1--WE got him out in a minute and ap-
piled antiseptics until you couldn't rest"
said DR.. Gehrmann. 1.-THE whole per-
formancal had been so unexpected and
so horrible that the class was stampeded
for moment. AS for the student, he was
a big, husky fellow, and he was less con-
cerned than most of US. Well, the infec.
tious matter didn't feaze him. There
were no consequences following it, and
the boy went the even and uneven tenor
of school life to the point of graduation.
Then he took to the even and uneven
tenor Of life in Arizona, and in mixup
with a native a few months later he was
shot and killed.
1T doesn't prove anything, of course"
admits the doctor. 1T leaves us guess
ing, as we always have been guessing,
over the question and the possibilities of
predestination. But at least this example
that have spoken of is made the strong
er from the fact that the man escaped
diphtherfa and died by bullet. To es-
cape bullet and die by diphtheria would
not have seemed have so Significant
