SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL.
An Old Cutters Advice to Men WIN
Use q Razor.

An Old Cutters Advice to Men who
Use q Razor.
whenever I hone a razor" said an
old English cutler, II always give some
advice with it, free, gratis, and I take
great satisfaction in knowing that I
have made shaving easier and more
comfortable for more than 5000 men.
Almost every barber will tell you how to
strop a razor, but it takes a cutler to
tell you how to care for your strop and
how to get the best work out of your
blade.
ga swing strop, anvas on one side
and horse hide IN the other, is the best.
Always hold 1t taut and draw the razor
lightly, but swiftly, from heel to point.
If you let the strop sag you will put
a round edge on your blade. Don't for
get to V your strop or put it away
in a drawer after using. If it hangs
i'm a bathroom near a window the dust
and CRIME get into 1t and soQAl 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 I 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
raZor's edge. Nine men out Of ten
shave themselves in a room where
there is running hot water. Now, the
way to get a most gratifying result is
this: Lather thickIy and well and let it
remain on the face helf a minute be-
fore you begin to shave. If you have
time wash it off, for with 1t will come
the grit and dirt that you have loosen
ed up in the pores of the skin, and then
apply a second coat. 1t 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 it Is heated. Then
take a slanting, or diagonal. stroke, like
a farmer does with a scythe, not q
square pull. and you will be amazed to
find how beautifully and easily the hot
blade cuts the beard.
when it is filed with lather hold it
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 put the temper. That would
be impossible if you put the razor in a
kettle and boiled it. Try the hot blade
and you'll never shave with the cold
steel again."-New York World.

E SHETLAND.
Its Swarms of Sea GulIs and It's Lone
Tree.

It's Swarm of Sea Gu11s and It's Lone
Tree.
Up a little lane off Lerwick's one
street there is a garden. At least, it is
IN inclosed space. In the middle of
this space there is a tree. 1t is not a
very tall tree; you could, in fact, toss
a biscuit over its branches, but still it
is a tree-the only tree in Shetland.
And Shetland is proud Of it. Children
who are brought for the first time to
see the wonders of one streeted Ler-
wick are shown this tree. This is not
fiction. 1t is the only tree In Shetland.
As there are no trees in Shetland,
there are no birds, except, of course,
the sea gulls, which you al number
by the thousand. The sea gulIs are the
sparrows of Lerwick, and, as such,
they have a greater share in the towns
life than have the sparrows Of London.
In the morning time you will note that
a sea gull sits on every chimney pot.
Sea gulls swoop and hover over every
roof in the town.
The air is full Of their strange, high,
plaintive, haunting cries. Their sad,
shrill, long drawn cries are to Lerwick
as the chattering of sparrows or the
cawing of rocks are to us in England.
Every house has its own familiar sea
gulls and every street its OWL band of
sea gulls. They neve mix. The chill
dren in each house have a pet name for
their own particular sea gulls, and,
having called them to them by those
names. they feed them every day. And
each sea gull knows what is meant for
him. No sea gull attached to n house
ever seeks to eat the food scattered
from the house next door. He does not
dare; the other gulls would kill him.
So all day long the sea gulls hover and
call over the roofs Of Lerwick. The
people of the town, if they come across
a little pile of rice laid upon the road
way, step over it with care. They
know that it is placed there for some
sea gull. And at night the sea gulls
leave their own appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away to their
resting places on the rocks of the Isle
Of Noss.-LondQn Express.

HOT AND COLD WATER.

How to Use These Remedies to he
Best Advantage.
Hot or cold water is excellent as an
application for Inflammation, conges-
lions or abrasions, but how many Peo-
pie know which to apply in particular
cases while awaiting the arrival OF
medical relief? Not many, and the mis-
takes made In some instances are lu-
dicrous.
Take the barber, for example, who
has cut his patrons face. He generally
washes the face with a towel soaked
In warm water, often pressing it right
into the injury, and then wonders why
the blood flows from the cut so freely.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
if he had used cold water, and the
colder the better, the blood would
have ceased to flow from the injury al
together, as the cold would have a ten
dency to contract the openings In the
torn blood vessels. In all cases of such
cuts or abrasions-~ery cold water will
at least reduce the amount of bleeding
If it doesn't stop it altogether, and yet,
singularly enough, boiling water will
have the same effect.
Water below the boiling point in
creases the flow, but above that de-
gree decreases it. In surface infiamma-
tions or congestions cold water ought
to be used, while if the condition is sit
uated below the surface hot water is
necessary as IN application because 1t
draws the blood toward The surface
and thus stimulates the circulation
through the part where it is most
needed.
In cases Of assesses or pimples
with pus forming in them, but which
have not yet come to a head, the secre-
ton of pus can be rapidly increased
and the duration of the annoyance
thereby decreased by applying hot wa
ter to them at frequent intervals.
Where the eye is infiamed or smarts,
after a period Of eye strain, such as
night work often induces, hot appli-
cations are the things for relief, but
the water used should be gradually
allowed to cool off toward the end.
Tired eyes will invariably be rejuve-
mated by adopting this method of treat
ment, and many headaches resulting
from such a condition may thereby be
prevented or cured.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

WANTED: NEW OFFICERS.

The evil effects upon a party of keep
ing one mar in an administrative office
for q great number of years have been
demonstrated a number of times in this
county. 1t has a bad effect upon the
party because 1t d~iscourages many de-
serving men who feel that tie party Of
fers them no hope of advancement, al
though they are just as capable of fill
ing the position as those in Office. 1t
has q bad effect further because the in
cumbent feels after awhile that the of
flee Is his private property and he re-
n any attempt upon the part of n
n to interfere with it. Then sooner
or later the people get tired and defeat
at the polls a man whom they think has
had an Office too long.-E. M. Hendrix.
in Greensboro Patriot.
This is we'll said. Frequent changes
in official circles should be demanded by
the people of all political parties. There
are just as capable men out of Office as
can be found among the elect who are
holding down positions by virtue of the
peoples suffrage. The above quotation.
by MI. Hendrix, refers to the democrat
ic county of Guilford, but applies, with
equal force, to b%oss-ridden Henderson,
which has for years been dominated bv
republican ringsters who have come to
believe that the Offices belong to them
and their family relations. How long
will q suffering public be thus imposed
upon? The time is ripe for a change,
but the same old crowd will again NOM
mate the republican ticket.

BRITT WILL HAVE TO S

The nomination of Prof. James j.
Britt for Congress, by the republicans
of the tenth district was to have been
expected, Notwithstanding his recent
sletter of withdrawal" from the contest
in which he deplored the ''unseemly
conduct OF certain republican leaders.
It turns u that Mr.. Britt's letter was
a grandstand play and its evident pur-
puse,-that of creating sympathy for
him-has been accomplished. 1t was a
clever scheme the professor worked on
his republican opponents, but he has
quite a different proposition to deal
with in the opposing party, the leaders
of which will be on to his curves at
every turn in the game. Then there is
an element L Mr.. BIRTHS own political
household who are going to want some
things explained. The following COM
munication appearing in the Asheville
Gazette on June 80. indicates, some
what. the current of things in republic
can circles:
Sand Abraham replied to Isaac, the
Lord will provide a sacrifice. So quot
ed Col, V. S. Lusk, the republican war

republican party of the tenth district
would do for a candidate for congress"
An admission that whoever mounts
the alter in this contest against w. L.
Crawford he does so as a burnt offer
ing, and that there is no chance for a
republican to win in this contest under
the present situation of discord and dis
sension sowed in the republican party
by the former federal ring bosses of the
Holton, Harkins1& Rollins brigade.
This being a truthful admission, l ap-
peal TO the republicans of the tenth n
gressiOnal district to stay the hand and
blunt the dagger that otherwise will be
plunged into a innocent Isaac by plac-
ing on that altar, rs Mr.. Harris said,

A MOSSBACK REPUBLICAN.
Fair View, N. c., June u, 'O6.
Just how the republican nominee is
going to reconcile these matters re-
mains to be seen. He claims not to be
a factionist, yet withal he was the can
didate of the Harkins- Rollins wing of
his party two years ago and has been
their choice during this entire contest.
He has accepted favors at their hands
and who doubts if, perchance, he should
be elscted to congress, that ne would be
the servile tool of Butler, Harkins, Rol-
Inns & Company. However W. T. Craw-
ford will beat him 1000 votes and repre-
sent all the folks.

"The democrats of Nebraska in

their allegiance to the party OF JEFF

1--WE rejoice at the rapid growth OF
democratic sentiment throughout the
country and appreciate the compli
ment bestowed upon the party when
its principles and doctrines are bodily
appropriated by the few progressive
leaders of the republican party. We
watch with interest their efforts to
force their party to accept democratic
doctrine and we deplore the hopeless
ness of their task. To their follow

their interests, but outside of that
the professional lobbyist has no more
right to tamper with the legislature
than a litigant has to tamper with
jury that is considering his case. We
therefore declare in favor of legisla-
ton eliminating the professional lob
byist from our politics
1--WE deplore the fact that the re-
publican party of the First district
has been willing to renominate by ac-
clamation as representative in con-
gress from this state man caught
in the act of salary grabbing at a
time when the people are earnestly
seeking to rid the country of official
grating
1--WE favor the election of senators
by the direct vote of the people, as
soon as the constitutional amendment
for that purpose can be secured; and
in the present campaign we pledge
the democrats elected to the legisla-
ture to support for United States SEN
ator a democratic candidate who may
| be nominated for that Office by this
! convention.
s|We demand that the attorney gen.
| eral of Nebraska shall make an at
| tempt to reinstate the maximum
freight rate law, temporarily suspend
| ed by the supreme court of the United
States during a period of railroad de-
preston, but now subject to enforce
ment. and we demand that the attor-
ney general shall enforce the criminal
law against the members of the grain
and other trusts.
Believing that the vital interests
of the people of Nebraska are at this
time involved chiefly in the triumph
of the reform movement to rid the
state government of corporate con
troll in its legislative and administra-
tive branches, we deplore the fact that
in the preliminary republican cam
paign state interests have been large
ly lost sight of or skilfully smothered
/ by the manipulatiOns OF senatorial as.
pirants and plotting railroads, who
have subordinated the state issues
and the state campaign to the per-
sonal contest of senatorial aspirants.
BY these means it has been possible
for corporations largely to secure a
controlling voice in the selection OF
legislative candidates and state nom
nations, thus holding for themselves
| the substance of political power in
Nebraska, while the attention Of re
/ publican leaders and voters is liked
/ upon the glittering senatorial prize
1--WE favor the abolition of the com
mon law fellow servant rule as ap
/ piled to the operation of railroads In
our state We believe where any EN-
ploye of railroad is injured Or killed
in the line of duty through the negll
gence without contributory negligence
on his part that damages should be
awarded to the person injured or tc
the next of kin of the person killed
as now provided by law in other cases
1--WE favor the enactment of law
| whereby persons and companies de
string to do shipping business in
lumber, live stock, fuel and grain, and
who shall give bonds to erect pub
lie elevator of not less than two thou
sand dollars value may apply to any
railroad company for site on its
right of way for an elevator, and in
case of a refusal shall have the same
right to have condemned site for
such railroad company as railroad
companies have under existing laws
| to condemn real estate for right of
way purposes.

A vindication for DR.. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court Of the
State, Against the Ladies' Home
Journal.

A verdict has been rendered in
favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit
brought against the Ladies' Home
Journal published by thu Curtis Pub
fishing Coz by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of which
DR.. r. v. Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.,
for making false statements about one
OF his standard family medicines
known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number of the
Ladies' Home Journal 5000, Mr.. Ed
ward Box. the editor, stated that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tanned alcohol and some other harm
tul ingredients, and DIR. Pierce had
In the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con.
tanned in his "Favorite Prescription"
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
terious ingredients whatever: that Mr..
Bok's statement, pretending to give
some OF the ingredients Of said medi-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice.
President of the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
naff
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper. Black
Cohosh and Unicorn, by means of
pure glycerine. He was asked how
he knew, as a physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that che "Fa-
vorite Prescription" was cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea. dysmenorrhea, ante
version retro-version. and he stated
that he knew such was the fact be-
cause Of his professional experience
and the many thousands of women
whose ills had been cured by this
Prescription" The ce-President,
being asked to give his authorities,
read from the standard works, such
as the United States Dispensatory,
The American Dispensatory and many
other standard medical books.
The retraction printed by the Cur
tbs Publishing Company two months
after the libelous statement appeared
and nearly two months after the suit
had been begun stated definitely that
analyses had been made at their re-
quest and that the "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" did not contain either alcohol,
opium or digitalis.
