Verdi Was Right.

When Verdi was putting the last
touches TO "Il Trovatore." he was WIS.,
tied in his study by a privileged friend,
who was one of the ablest living mu-
siclans and critics. He was permitted
to examine the score and run over the
"Anvil Chorus" on the panoforte.
"What do you think of thatT asked
Verdi. "Trashw responded the con-
nolsseur Verdi rubbed his hands and
chuckled. "Now look Mt this" he said.
"Rubbishw said the other. rolling n
cigarette. The composer rose and en-
braced him with burst of joy. What
do you mcan?' asked the critic. my
dear friend" cried Verdi. 81 have been

A RAzoR's EDGE.

The 'slge of razor consists of In

the razor is of good material follow
each other throughout Its whole length
with great order and clearness. The
unbroken regularity of these minute
teeth" goes to make up the blades
excessive keenness. The edge acts upon
the beard not SO much by the direct ap-
pllcatlon of weight or force as 1t does
by slight "seesaw" movement, which
causes the successive teeth" to act
rapidly on one certain part of the hairy
growth. The best razors, according to
the microscopists, have the teeth Of
their edges set as regularly as those of
perfectly set saw.
This explains the magic effect of hot
water on the razor's blade-the act Of
dipping il thoroughly cleansing the
teeth of any greasy or dirty substance
with which they may have been
clogged. BARRIERS often claim that ra-
zors get tired" of shaving and that
they will be all right after awhile IL
permitted to take rest. When In this
tired" condition microscopic exam
ination of the edge shows that con-
slant stropplng by the same person has
caused the teeth or fibers of the edge
to all arrange themselves In one direc-
tion. A month of dlsuse causes these
fine particles to rearr1nge themselves
so that they again present the hetero-
geneous saw toothed edge. After this
little recreation each particle of the fine
edge Is up and ready to support his
fellow. and it again takes some time
to spoil the grain of the blade.
