is, in the vast majority of cases, com pelled to use 9 razor quite year ear Her than the fair man.
 From a multitude of examples an average measurement round the chin from ear to ear is found to be twelve and one-half inches. From where the beard starts on the throat to the chin, and thence to the dege of the under lip is four and one-half inches. You must reckon that it is necessary to give two strokes of the razor to each inch or fraction ofan inch in order to cover the surface, and to go over each section of the face twice in order to secure a clean sursace.
 So, multiplying the number of strokes by the number of times the razor is passed over the entire face you get the figure four, and four times the two aforementioned measurements gives you the figures of fifty and eighteen, respectively, which, added together, produce sixty-eight. Therefore, the aV- craze man, whether dark or fair slaves sixty-eight inches once every twenty-four hours.
 Vital statistics on the subject of the duration of mems lives are misleading by reason O. the fact that all who die in infancy are included and enormous ly lower the average. It is, therefore, better to fall back on the Psalnist's es- innate of threescore years and tenor seventy years-in order to arrive at the life of the average male adult. Witt these figures we arrive at the result that every man wearing only a mus tache slaves 2,06S feet four inches a year.
 Taking, then, the average life at sev' enty years, and that the fair man be- gins shaving at eighteen and the darl man year earlier, or at seventeen, wt have the following result: That fail man, if he lives till he is seventy. vii shave in the course of his life twenty miles six hundded and fifty-one yards and four inches. The dark man, if ht lives till he is seventy will shave in tht course of his life twenty miles. 1,34I yards one foot and eight inches.-Ex change.

PI.ANCHETTE IN A LONDON C0TIRT

Owing to a queer suit in which a rich young explorer, an erstwl1ile prima donna of the Savoy theater, and a ma jor of the British army are mixed up, planchette has suddenly become the craze of the moment in London society. The demand for the mysterious little heart shaped tables is so great that the toy-makers are putting on extra forces to turn them out. Ping-pong and bridge are forgotten in the desire to get communications from the spirit world.
 The craze was brought about by the financial tangle into which Harry Cav endish, heir to over one million dollars, and leader of six venturesome expedi- tions into Darkest Africa, found him. self, all on account of some spirit nles- sages communicated to him by means of a planchette. MT. Cavendish, bold and determined as he doubtless is in the heart of Africa. is singularly mild and meek young man in England, and, according to all accounts, was what is known as a good thing'--s,s any one can judge from. the fact that not long ago he was financial packer,
 
 He let kind friend, Major Strut, manage his money, and didn't bother himself about such an uninteresting' matter until he became the husband of the beauteous Isabel Jay, star of many notable revival of Gilbert and Sulli- van operas at the famous Savoy. The acquisition of wife soon began to in- volve some attention to money affairs, and MT. Cavendsh discovered that, fol- lowing the advice of the planchette, as interpreted by Mrs. Strut, he had practically empowered them to cut himself and his wife off without pen ny. Hence the suit.
 Cavendish says that the first doubt about the spirit messages came into his head whenin Central Africa-he. had i to communicate with his mother on his own account and got. no result what /: ever. Then this young man (who, if i he is not the most credulous person on earth, would certainly give the holder i of that distinction stiff brush for it's l possession), remembered that just be- i fore his start for the dark continent, | his sweetheart, Miss Jay, had ex- pressed strong suspicious regarding the whole business. He determined then and there to have an investigation, and the result is one of the most extraordi- nary trials which have taken place in England, and a prodigious and unex- ilpected boom for "planchette. ."-L London Letter to the Philadelphia Press.

SCOTTISH SONGS.
Lecture Last Night at Gfand Avenue Church by the Rev. James RobertsOn, ID, D, of Edinburgh.

Lecture Last Night at Gfand Avenue
 Church by the Rev. James Robertson,
 D. D, of Edinburgh.
 Scottish Songs and How to Sing Them was the title of a lecture given at the Grand avenue Congregational church last night by the Rev. James Robertson. D. D.. of the Haymarket United Free church, Edinburgh, Scot land. The Rev. Mir. Robertson is one of Scotiand's brightest and most eloquent preachers and his appearance in the pulpit always attracts big congrega- tion. He is known over the length and breadth of old Scotia as the singing pas tor, and wherever he appears he charms and delights his audience with his elo- quence in describing the songs of Burns and the manner in which he uses his fine baritone voice in their interpreta- tiOn. A large and appreciative audience gathered last night to hear his initial lecture in this country. Besides large attendance Of the congregation there was also present large representation of well known Scotch people.
 MT. Robertson in his lecture touched on the patriotic, the civil, the religious, and the home life of the Scotch, illus trating them with the singing of such songs as Annie Laurie" ''The Auld Scotch Songs" 'The Lass O Balloch- myle,' Scots Wha Hae," 70 Rowan Tree" and others all of which he ren- dered in such a finished and artistic manner as to stamp him as one of Scot lands foremost opponents of her na- tional songs.

s1xTY-FIvE YEARS OF KNITTING.

sIxTY-FIvE YEARS OF KNITTING.
 Sixty-five years of knitting and
 quilt piecing is the unique record of the lifework of Miss Lucy Reade of Danby, Vt, who has been blind since her tenth year. Previous to that she had lost both hearing and speech also.
 When about 14 Miss Read was sent to Boston to be educated, where for a time she was the friend and companion of Laura Bridgeman. Failing health and homesickness, however, resulted in her homecoming after short stay, and since then her time has been given to the making of mittens, socks, quilts and fancy articles. Miss Read designs her own patterns for all her work, doing all
 the cutting for patchwork without assistance. Different colors she assorts by the sense of taste or smell, and rare
 ly if ever makes a mistakes even in the threads used, and she also threads her own needles. Her favorite color is green, but any bright color pleases her,
 and she delights in jewelry and trink- cts. The companionship of children, too, is one of the chief pleasures of her narrowed life and the now inffrm old
 woman can often be seen waiting about a school for the hour of dismissal. Her
 generous distribution of her daily labors, little red mittens and gay color ed slippers, has won her many fast friends among the little people whom she so dearly loves.-New York Tribune

ANGLEWORM OIL
An Ancient Ohio Remedy Which Cures
Strains and Sprains.
Los Angeles Times. -Eae..

A correspondent recently inquired as to
where she could get "angleworm oil" and
the edito rof this department had to pass
on the inquiry as a conundrum that he
could not solve. However, there are very
few questions that some of the numerous
readers Of this department cannot answer.
It is therefore not surprising to find that
no less than seven answers have already
been received to this correspondents
question F. s. sends the following from
Santa Monica:
II noticed in the Care Of the Body de-
partment to-day that some one from
Santa Monica asks about angleworm OIL
and that you say that you do not know
what it is. I will offer a short story Of
an incident which happened in my boy
hood days in Ohio. My folks owned a
valuable horse, which slipped on the Ice
and strained the tendons Of one its hind
legs so that 1t could not put the heel on
the ground. and had to walk on its toe
for several months, when an old farmer
told us to rub 1t with angleworms, putting
them In bottles and hanging in the sun
until all the oil was tried out Of them.
Then strain 1t and use as a liniment. We
did this, and it effected the desired re-
Suits and will say that after that we
were never without this oil, as 1t Is good
for so many strains and sprains, and it
no doubt will help the inquirer from
Santa Monica"
