Razors of Centuries Aqo.

slightest idea, and were we to be
would be at a loss to answer. This
was illustrated when two young men.
well but quietly dressed. were admir-
ing a well-known picture of life in the
time of julius Ceasar, which was ex-
hibited In store window not far from
Herald square.
One of the men remarked while
looking at the picture that he wonder
ed how the Romans kept their faces
smooth and whether they ever had
shaved; and, II they had shaved, what
were their razors like? Neither of
the of the men could answer the ques-
tion, and SO they Immediately con-
suited various authorities on the sub
ject and found to their surprise that
razors were used for shaving In a
very early part of the worlds history.
The Egyptians used some kind of a
razor, though the Levitical code ex.
pressly forbade the shaving OF the
beard.
It is believed the primitive shaving
instruments were made Of sharpened
fiints. Savages In the remote islands
scattered throughout the Pacific still
use two pieces of flint Of the same
size for this purpose, and pieces OF
shells or sharks teeth are also used

NOT TO TRY FOR DAVIS CUP
No American Team Be Sent to Aus
traia and Preparatory Matches
Are Called of.

No American team will be sent to
Australia this year to play the holders
of the Davis cup for the famous inter
national lawn tennis trophy. This an
nouncement was made In New York
the other day by R. d. Wrenn, vice
president of the American Lawn Ten
mis- association, who said that the de-
cision had just been reached owing
to the inability of #. C. Bundy, the
California tennis star, to make the
trip to the Antipodes.
1t had been planned to have Bundy
and NJ. E. Mclaughlin, another bril-
liant player and also a Californian,
represent America in the contest with
the Australians for the Davis cup In
case America won the preliminaries
with the English challenging team
which were to be played here. Bundy,
however. telegraphed that he had
found that his business engagements
would not admit of his taking the trip
to Australia.
There being no possibility of an
American team entering the lists To
play the Australians. the proposed pre-
limlnary matches with an English
team, which were to be played here to
decide whether England or America
should send the challenging team, also
were necessarily abandoned.
The British and Australian tennis
officials have been notified.

Let us look at 1t together

But who is the man who is nothing but

1t is splendid In the morning
To reflect on how you sat
When they gave to you the warning
That the lens would go to bat.
How you Henryclayed your features,
How you lifted UP your face,
Knowing that OF all the creatures
None excels the human racel
Well. one came to speak, and one owns
a bank,
But one is a streak and one is a blank,
And one down in front has q face that
must hurt,
But who Is the man that is nothing but

Since Belshazzar's famous blowout
1t has always been the same,
When the flash would squirt and go out
All the diners dreamed of fame,
But upon the morrow morning
When the picture they would see.
With frown their brows adorning
Each would murmur: (which Is me?"
For there was Judge and there was a

But now ones a smudge and one is q
blur.
Yet tell me. I pray-and don't think ma

Who is the poor man who is nothing bu.
