The Razor Crank.

"a man may be quite rational and
reasonable in all ordinary affairs and
get be quite daffy on the subject of
razors," said the barber. II have one
customer, for instance, who keeps six
razOrs here-one for every day in the
week that a man is supposed to get
shaved-and pays me to hone them ey-
cry week. Some mornings l have to
try them all on him before he stops
grumbling and even then may have
to use one Of my own razors. At 9th
er times he will order me to use the
same razor for a week or two. / can't
fool him by changing 1t either
Another customer who comes in on
ly for an occasional shave talked to
me for six months about the fine razor
he had at home. I told him that as
we seemed to have none in the shop to
suit him | should be obliged If he
would bring 1t around for me to look
at. He did. Well, sir, it was a meat

"By and BY. and "By the Bye.p

Johnson's definition of "by and by"
now generally written "by and bye"
is Sin a short time" corresponding to
the French tout fheure, and Shake
speare uses it to express the immediate
as distinguished from the more remote
future:
Now a sensible man, by and by fool
and presently beast.-Othello.
If we knew how "by" came to be In
dicative of the present the second ''by"
might be assumed to signify beyond.
"By the bye" was in Johnson's time
used In a different, almost opposite,
sense to that in which we now employ
it as an equivalent to the French a pro-
pos, not as expressive of something APP
posite, but, on the contrary, as, accord
ing to Johnson, something not the d.
rect and immediate object of regard
In neither case is the employment of
Shy" in these two familiar expressions
accounted for-Notes and Queries.

The Mohammedan Judgment Day.

The Koran, sura 81, has this to
say concerning the general Judgment
day" which nearly all religions teach
in common: when the sun shall be
folded up, and when the stars shall
fall, and when the mountain shall be
made to pass away, and when the wild
beasts shall be gathered together, and
when the seas shall boil, and when
souls shall again be Joined to their
bodies. and when the girl who hath
been buried alive shall ask for what
crime she was put to death, and when
the books shall be laid open, and when
the heavens shall be removed, and
when hell shall burn fiercely, and when
paradise shall be brought near, then
shall every soul know what 1t hath
wrought"
