Odd Shaving Habits.

II is said that Of the men who shave
themselves not one In fifty can use
the razor with both hands. An Ameri-
can well known In commercial circles
in New York has confessed that he al
ways shaves himself standing In
corner of the room and facing the
wall When he was a poor country
boy he bought razor on the sly.
There was no mirror In his bedroom;
rather than let his people know what
he was about he faced the wall and
scraped away as best he could Once
accustomed to this method he never
needed a glass Another American, a
senator. formerly a farmer. for many
years shaved himself sitting on milk
fng-stool and looking at his reflection
in bucket OF water. That was what
he did as boy and man on the farm,
and he says that he could not shave
standing up.
