An Old Cutters Advice to Men Who
n Use a Razor. y
~"Whenever I hone razor" said an
old English cutler, II always give some
advice with it, free, gratis, and take
great satisfaction in knowing that l
have made shaving easier and more
comfortable for more than 10000 men.
Almost every barber will tell you how to
strop razor, but 1t takes a cutler to
tell you how to care for your strop and
how to get the best work out of your
blade. "a
"a swing strop, canvass on one side
and horse hide on the other, is the best.
Always hold it taut and draw the razor
lightly, but swiftly, from heel to point.
If you let the strop sag you will put
round edge on your blade. Don't for
get to cover your strop or put 1t away
in q drawer after using. If 1t hangs
In bathroom near window the dust
and CRIME get into it and soon take
the edge from your razor. Whether
you keep the strop covered or whether
you don't, rub your open hand over the
two surfaces to free it from dust.
"But what consider my most valua'
BILE advice is how to do away with
shaving paper entirely and at the same
time improve the cutting quality of the
razors edge. Nine men out Of ten
shave themselvesA in a room where
there is running hot water. Now, the
!, way to get most gratifying result Is
this: Lather thickly and well and let it
remain on the face half minute be-
fore you begin to shave. If you have
time wash 1t of, for with it will come
the grit and dirt that you have loosen
ed up in the pores of the skin, and then
apply a second coat. It will be as soft,
smooth and clean as new velvet.
"Now turn on the hot water faucet
and let. it run. Hold the razor under
the stream until 1t is heated. Then
take.a slanting, or diagonal stroke, like
a farmer does with a scythe, not a
square pull, and you will be amazed to
find how beautifully and easily the hot
blade cuts the beard.
when 1t Is filled with lather hold II
under the running hot water instead of
using shaving paper. This will wash
of the lather and at the same time
heat the blade again. Don't be afraid
Of taking out the temper. That would
be impossible II you put the razor in q
kettle and boiled it. Try the hot blade
and you'll never shave with the cold
steel agar" York World.

consequence, cases We're more often
defended than they are now and pleas
Of guilty much more rarer. Then the
alfbi witness was a necessary though
usually unwelcome part Of the ma
chinery Of defense In criminal cases.
There Is In criminal procedure no bet
ter defense than an alibi If sustained.
Alibi witnesses were therefore very
much in demand until juries began to
mistrust them and the penalties for the
crime Of perjury were visited upon
some Of the delinquents.
For long time the mendacious
and subsidized testimony Of profess
sional alibi witnesses obtained credence
from jurors. and some of these wit
nesses, to quote their own language,
"made good thing out Of it." Juries
In criminal cases are usually sympa-
thetic where no outside pressure Ia
brought upon them, and It is the part
Of the charge Of every Judge in crimi-
nal case to inform the jury that the
prisoner at the bar Is entitled to every
reasonable doubt. II, therefore, any
uncertainty existed on the point wheth-
or or not the prisoner was actually
present at the time and place of the
alleged crime he was entitled to the

prosecuting officers became acquainted

THE BLUEFlSh BRIGADE.

What Happens When the Blues Make
60 = Charge Upon Menhaden. III
when menhaden or herring are
driven upon the beach by bluefish, as
they often are, SO that they can be
carried off by the cart load" said
fisherman, there is very seldom found
among them enc of their pursuers, and
If one is found it is likely to be fish
that is diseased or that has been hurt
In some way. The bluefsh follows to
the very verge Of the water, but there
it stops, and it is SO powerful and
alert swimmer that, close as it is, it
still easily keeps clear of the land.
The menhaden or herring are no mean
swimmers. They could come as close
and keep off the shore as easily as the
bluefsh do, but not when the bluefish
are after them. Then they are like
men pursued to the edge of preci-
pice. 1t is almost certain death to
Jump. but they must do that or turn
and take the chances Of breaking
through the pursuing line. l.

there is nothing for them to do but

shore, the land is to them what the
prectpice would be to the man. They
must take 1t or they must turn and try
to fight their way through. Many dc
turn and try to swim under or over
or around the savage bluefsh, and
some escape In this way, and some are

There Is perhaps no class Of remedial
agents more abused than tonics. The
abuse consists both In the excessive
use and the misapplication Of this class
Of agents, which within restricted
field possess an indisputable and Inn
portant therapeutic value. The misuse
OF tonics is doubtless the outgrowth
Of a misconception Of the real nature of
this class Of remedial agents and its
limitations. Many physicians also seem

SERIES OF sHlPWREcks.

The Most Singular Chain Of Marine
Accidents on Record.
The most singular series of ship
wrecks on record began with the loss
of the English merchantmen Mermaid,
which was driven on the rocks of Tor

ledge, until, a few minutes before the
doomed ship went to pieces, passing
frigate picked them up. 49,, +,
The Swiftsure, as the latter craft
was called, resumed her northward
course, to be foundered In a terrific
gale three days later.
Her combined crews were saved by
the warship Governor Ready, en- voy-
age to India, May 10. 1880. The last
named, overtaken by storm, was
stranded on a barren coast, her three
crews to man succeeding in reach.
Ing the Shore
After staying a week on the inhos-
pitable island they were taken off by
the revenue cutter Comet, which q few
days later sprang leak and sank In
spite of all efforts to save her.
Fortunately a rescue ship was again
on hand, the four crews being saved
by the Jupiter. - - ~,
Even then, however, the chain Of dis
asters was not broken, for the Jupiter
just as she was entering the harbor OF
Port Rattle turned turtle and wen,
down with scarcely moments warn
ing. Her crews barely escaped with
their lives, to be picked up by boat
sent to their aid. ing ,s-
Thus the crew Of the Mermaid was
wrecked FIVE times In one voyage, tina,
OF the Swiftsure four times, Of The
Governor Ready three times and thu
Comet twice. .a
The rescues had been purely acciden
tai in every case, none Of the ships
having been sailing as a consort o.
even to the same port. =, -.
Though the weather had been tenn
pestuous and the escapes barely made
not a life had been lost.

Almost every jewel has superstition
Of some sort attaching TO 1t, and the
bloodstone is not wanting In this par.
ticular. The story is told Of 1t that at
the time of the crucifixion some drops
Of blood fell on piece Of dark green
Jasper that lay at the foot Of the cross.
The crimson crept through the struc.
ture of the stone, and this was the
parent of this beautiful Jewel. The
dark red spots and veins were sup
posed to represent the blood OF Christ,
and many wonderful properties were
attributed to the stone. It was
thought to preserve Its wearer from
dangers, to bring good fortune and to
heal many diseases.

This may not be the exact wording

position. He was advised that it
would be necessary for him to invest
$1,000, when the position as travelling

Haldorson borrowed the $1,000 from a
Grand Forks man and mortgaged his
farm, sending the money to the Chi
cago concern that wanted men to sell
their wares on the road.
Before the draft furnished by the
Grand Forks financial agent had
passed through the clearing house
