Odd Shaxino Habits.

II 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, ne tells
his friends, always shaves himself
standing in q corner Of the room and
facing the wall. He was a poor coun-
try boy and, like most boys, bought q
razor on the sly. There was no mir
ror in his bedroom and rather than
let his people know what he was about
be faced the wall and scraped away
By sense of feeling. Once accustomed
to this method he never needed glass.
There is q United States senator,
formerly q farmer, who for many
years shaved himself sitting on milk
Ing stool and looking at his reflection
in a bucket Of water. That was what
be did as boy and man on the farm,
and be says that he couldn't shave
standing up.-New York Tribune.

Mark Twain's Profanity.

When Mark Twain began to write
for the Atlantic Monthly be came WILL
tngly under its rules, for with all his
willfulness there never was q more
biddable man in things you could show
him a reason for. He never made the
least Of that trouble which SO abounds
for the hapless editor from narrower
minded contributors. If you wanted
a thing changed, very good, he chang
ed it; II you suggested that word or
a sentence or q paragraph had better
be struck out, very good. he struck 1t
out. His proof sheets came back each
a yeritable ''mush OF concession" as
Emerson says. Now and then he
would try q little stronger language
than the Atlantic had stomach for,
and once when / sent him proof /
made him observe that l had left out
the profanity. He wrote back: Mrs.
Clemens opened that proof and Lit into
the room with danger in her eye.
What profanity? You see, when l
read the manuscript to her | skipped
that" 1t was part Of his joke to
pretend q violence In that gentest
creature which all the more amusing
IL realized the situation TO their
friends.-W. D. HoweIls In Harpers

Facts About Giants.

That very few Of the giants who
have ever lived have been healthy or
we'll formed recent researches prove
beyond q doubt. All we know about
Goliath Is that he was very tall. but in
the second book Of Kings we read
about another giant. who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being
and, according to modern scientists
this is invariably q token of degen-
eracy. Marcel Donnal saw at Milan q
giant who was so tall that his body
filed two beds at night. but whose
legs were so weak that he could hard
~ stand upright. William Evans. the
gigantic porter Of Charles l.. had little
strength, and Cromwelps porter. an
other giant, ended his days in luna
tic asylum. Finally, O'Brien, the Irish
giant, has been described as "an enor-
nous sick child who grew up too
fast"
