Odd Shaving Habits.

1t Is said that Of men who shave
themselves not one in fifty can use the
razor with both hands. and to this
may be added other curious facts
about the shaving habits of the aver
age man.
There Is the president Of q trust
company in New York who. he tells
his friends. always shaves himself
standing In a corner of the room and
facing the wall. He was q poor coun-
try boy and. like most boys, bought u
razor on the sly. There was no mir.
ror in his bedroom and rather than
let his people know what he was about
he faced the wall and scraped away
by sense of feeling. Once accustomed
to this method he never needed glass.
There is a United States senator.
formerly q farmer. who for many
years shaved himself sitting on a milk
ing stool and looking at his reflection
In q bucket of water. That was what
he did as boy and man on the farm.
and he says that he couldn't shave
standing up.-New York Tribune.

The mint allows q certain degree OF
tolerance" in coins. For example. the
gold double eagles standard weight Il

Is half Il grain. A coin Of this demon
ination may weigh as little as 5155
grains or as much as 516lh grains. but
never less than the first nor more

Us 1914 grains and as much as 1914
grains. but never less than the first

standard fineness Of all gold and silver
coins is 800. In the gold coins q devia-
ton of only one one-th0usandth from

of only three one-thousandth. The so

The Practical Goat.

n. Jules Renard was the mayor Of
Corbigny, In the Nievre. Every Sun
day he contributed to the Journal de
Clancy, and this is the sort Of things
he used to give the peasants. Writing
Of the Journal Of1ciel. posted up on
the wall of the marie and which no
one ever reads. he said:
Il had forgotten the goats. One of
them never misses number. Standing
on its hind legs. with its front legs

like an old woman reading. When 1t
has finished reading. as the official
sheet has an appetizing smell of fresh
paste, the goat eats 1t. After nourish-
ing the mind one must feed the body.
Thus nothing is lost in the commune.
What a pity that all novel readers
have not the stomach of this practical
goat! They might then eat the books
they had read. buy more. and so the
man of letters would IN the end be
able to eat in his turn."-Paris Letter
