RAZOR SALE INCREASES.
More Men Than Ever Before Are
Now Their Own BARRIERS.

There are sold in this country to-
day." said a cutlery man, "a hundred
times as many razOrS as were sold here
40 years ago.
Some share of this increase is due.
of course, to the advance in population,
but the greater part is due to the large
increase in the proportion of men who
shave themselves. More men than ever
before now possess this polite art. With
a greater number of individual users of
razorS there are, of course, many more
razors now sold. And, of course, plenty
of men own more than one razor; every
one ought to own two, at least, as
many men do. One good razor properly
cared for might serve its purpose con-
tinuously and well for long time with
out regrinding or honing, but an acci-
dent might happen to it, and against
that man guards by having at least
one extra razor.
MANY men buy sets Of seven razors,
one for each day in the week, and there
are men who have sets of 81 razors, one
for every day in the month. And trav-
elers going to distant countries and
into regions where facilities would be
with them. A traveller starting out
with a case of half a dozen razors IN
perfect condition would have razor
outfit that, with such care as he could
bestow upon it himself, would serve
him well for years. The best razor
that can be made can be bought with
plain handle for 81; anything more than
that in the cost of it would be in the
mounting in pearl handles and so on
You can buy case of seven fine razors,
simply mounted, for $12, or you can pay
$50 or more for case Of raZors with the
same blades, but with fine mountings
and in a finer case."-New York SUM-

that the English public should know it.
To them I need not disclose the name
of the man whom Rome has elected a
professor of her great academy; for my
object it is sufficient to state my own
case, which I hope may encourage 9TH
ers to concentrate their energies on a
subject which concerns the welfare of
my own and many other professions.
Yours truly,
ELEANOR DUSE.
Since her last visit to London Signora
Duse has had a great deal of trouble
with her voice. She underwent various
courses of treatment without finding a
remedy, and eventually, while in Ger
many, completely lost it's use. Return
ing to Rome, she consulted a professor
of Santa Cecilia-the Royal academy of
Rome-who advised her that the trou-
BILE was due solely to constant wrong
usage of the voice, and, following a
new method of voice production sug
gested by him, the actress found her
self able to resume the most exacting
work of her art.
1.-THE pleasure that the restoration of
her voice power has caused her English
admirers" says the Mail, will, of
course, be intensified by the knowledge
that the gentleman to whom she SO
successfully appealed is Mr.. Henry
Russell, a son of the author of Cheer.
Boys, Cheer He is the first of his
countryTnen to be elected a professor

Now that Joseph Jefferson is once

of his sixty years of service are being

Two anecdotes from his autobiography

There is little joy in living when the dis
ordered nerves prevent sleep and rest; when
one wakes from a restless night more tired
than the night before; when one is forced to
drag through the round of daily duties with
out energy, ambition or interest. This con-
ditien is due to arrangement of the nerves
which may be speedily regulated and
strengthened by DR.. Miles Restorative
Nervine. This remarkable medicine has
wonderful record of cures Supplying as it
does the exact element needed for the res
toration of the nerve force and vitality, its
good effects are felt after the first few doses.

not too much to say that they saved my life.

ing heroines in his performances and
the welcome she has received has
stamped her beyond question as one
of the most efficient and attractive clas-
sic condolences now appearing before
the foOtlights, her art is not only char
acteriZed by personal charm but is jul
diciouS and well considered; the result
of patient study and intelligent devel-
opment as well as natural ability. Mr.
Hanford will be at the Crawford Christ
mas matinee and night.
King Dodo,' the new comedy OPP
era, headed by Richard Golden, which
comes to the Crawford January with
fiattering endorsements, will be pro-
Henry w. Savage. The work is from
the prolific pens of Frank Pixley and
Gustav Luders and is a much more
pretentious work than their previous
efforts, departing entirely from the
conventional lines in construction and
musical themes. The diversified fea-
lures of the entertainment have been
highly praised by the press of New
York, where the work was put on for
two months at Days theater; of Chi
cago, where it ran for eight months
and of Boston where it ran for two
months at the fremont theater. The
story has to do with the oVerpowering
desire of a decrepit old monarch to
drink from the fountain of youth and
the scope for humorous situations and
witty dialogue is of the broadcast char
acter. Musically the piece is pronounced
surprisingly catchy and there are no
less than a score of songs which pro-
duce the whistling quality to a marked
degree. The production is made in
three acts, the scenic establishment of
which is exceedingly elaborate while
the ensemble effects are rarely beautl-
full. The cast, in addition to Richard
Golden. includes Arthur Wooley, Chas.
W. Meyers. Harry Davies, Maude Will
hams, Claude Albright, Daisy Hamlin
and Gertrude Barnes.
