are primarily no divisions such as
mathematical, physical or political in
the study of geography The study Is
like am endless chain. Pick up the link
anywhere and you have the chain.
Geography therefore, should be stud
led as a unit.
The great problem which the geo.
grapher finds facing him is the lack Of
proper technical terms for geographic
features. This was illustrated by our
poverty Of descriptive and characteris-
tic geographic words.
The speaker then discussed geo.
lgraphy in its relation to the language of
traces and nations. and environment, or
geography In it's smaller sense, upon
their dialects. He pointed to the best
literature as being moulded by geo.
graphic conditions. Iving's "Alham-

of this.

Ideas of neatness The doctors de-
clared that in her case neatness was n
disease. There are many appliances
Tor the sick room. but In the average
nome makeshifts in most cases are
made to do duty, so that neatness is
diHcult to attain. Nevertheless, an
additional device of this class helps
along the much-needed general intro
duction Of little conveniences of this
character. The latest newcomer is n
medicine spoon, the essential feature
OF which is the peculiar handle. which
Is so designed as to engage the rim
of vessel and so support the spoon
within same. This effectually takes
care of sticky spoons, placing them
where they can do no harm, and yet
are not liable to upset the receptacle
In which they are placed. an accident
which frequently occurs when the
handle of the spoon projects above the
top of the receptacle in which it is al.
lowed to stand. The peculiar shape
OF handle gives convenient grasp for
the patient or attendant In administer
ing medicines.

keeping the razor in proper condition,
and If he is compelled to run to the
BARRIERS or cutters shop with the IT.
strument every few weeks there is no
advantage in the possession of the skill
necessary to amputate the whiskers
from his face.
The interchangeable razor blade has
been devised to meet this emergency.
IE appearance, it looks like pretty
much any other razor, but the blade
end Of the combination consists Of
two parts. the blade itself and the Ger
man silver holder. When it is deslr-
able to substitute one blade for nm
other the operation is very readily
conducted. A spring catch releases
the cutter, and 1t is then pushed from
Its lodging place.
Besides the advantage OF always
having suitable blade in readiness
and in good condition. this arrange
ment presents the addition of permit
ting the owner to strop his razor by
mechanical device which 10 used
with the safety razors. but which has
not heretofore been adapted for use
with the old type of instrument 1t
also permits the reversal Of the blade
so that every portion of the cutting
edge may come in for its share of SER
vice.
