Good Razors Possible.

There is a very common feeling that
there is a certain element Of chance in
the purchase Of 4 razor. 1t is some
times expressed that whatever price
you pay you try your luck" Occa-
sionally one hears Of a remarkable ra-
zor which holds its edge as if by magic,
giving pleasure TO its owner every day
for half a lifetime. so that he would
not part with it for guineas. So long
as it is possible for one razor to be Sc
lected as 4 particularly good one it is
evident that the hardening as carried
out fails TO impart the maximum eff
cheney to the majority. The author
believes that it is possible to harden
every razor in a gross so that each one
shall be truly Il duplicate of the best.
Whether it would pay to DO so is a
question which is outside his province.

the child of civilization who likes to
snuggle comfortably under several lay

it all right, as in fact it is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants a
blanket he hunts up demajagua tree
and cuts from it n five or six foot sec

This is dampened and beaten until the
hexibility of the sheet is much increas-
ed. The rough gray exterior is next
peeled off. and the sheet dried in the

light and fairly warm. of an attractive
cream color. 1t may be rolled into a
compact bundle without hurt and with
ordinary usage will last for several
years.-Harner's.

says the author of Memoirs of Charles

Russia when he had been appointed
minister to that country by President
Jackson. Entering the Office Of the

clerk in his usual grandiloquent man

Of negro races should absorb more heat
than that of the white people. How
ever, cOlored races are better able than
the white to regulate their temperature
under the influence of the tropical sun
perhaps because perspiration is more
abundant The ape, although native
of the tropics, is less capable of resist

even the white man. This is no doubt
attributable to the fact that its natural
home is in the forests For certain
monkeys two hours OF exposure to the

CAUGHT THE BUFFER.
De Wint's Clever Ruse That Sold One
of His Paintings.

OF TVS TdiuAIn9Ss
Peter De Whit. the English land
scape painter, was accustomed each
year TO have a semi-private show of
his pictures before sending them to the
Water Color sOciety's exhibition. On
such occasions his friends frequently
bought pictures, which, Of course, ap-
peared at the public exhibition marked
sold"
Among the painters friends was n
wealthy man who wanted to appear a
patron of art and at the same time
keep his money. He managed this by
loudly admiring the paintings already
sold He was always a bit too late to
buy the pictures that pleased him
most. and having seen them, as he was
wont TO declare. he could never content
himself with less beautiful works.
De Whit at last suspected the mans
sincerity. and when the next show day
came round he concluded TO test him.
After plenty Of time had been allowed
for De WintS friends TO make their
purchases the rich man arrived. AS
usual. his eye soon fell on two per
feet gems" marked sold" Turning to
the artist, he said: NOW, De Whit,
those are exactly the things | should
like 10 possess. What n pity they are
not to be had"
My dear sir" said the painter, slap
ping him on the back, Il knew you
would ike them, so | put the tickets
on 10 keep them for you"
The awkwardness of the situation
was only relieved when the enthusiasts

willing purchaser of the two gems

One of the Reasons Why the Priced
Fur Is So Costly.
This stole OF imperial ermine is
worth 81 1000" said the dealer. Dear?
Nix. Just consider how the animals
comprised in it were caught!
an the first place. they were caught
in winter of extreme cold, for it is
only in such winter that the weasel,
or ermine. turns from tawny to snow
white. In normal winters the ermine
only turns to greenish white, like this
800 greenish white stole here.
I'm the second place, the ermineS
were caught young, for when fully de-
velOped their coats are coarse and stiff.
as in this $3.50 stole, and to catch them
young the tongue trap must be used.
Any other trap would tear the delicate
fur
1.-The tongue trap is a knife, an ordi-
nary hunting knife, smeared with
grease. that the hunter lays in the
snow. The little ermine sees the blade,
which it mistakes for fee Ice il loves
to lick. and so it ticks the knife blade
and is caught fast, its tongue. in that
zero weather, frozen to the steel.
Yes, sir, when you see 4 stole like

THE PASTOR SPRINTED.
He Made a Good Run In Record Time
With Plenty of Reason.

One of the traditional stories of the

wild dash from the pulpit made by
a worthy and beloved pastor of the
Episcopal flock. DR.. Labaree.
1t was on Il Sunday more than hun
dred years ago. The service had been
read. the prayers said. the hymns sung.
he proceeded his gestures became very
energetic He brought his right hand
down with great force. Then he turned
pale. cleared the pulpit stairs at a
bound. dashed out of the church door
and ran toward the pond short dis
lance away.
The congregation followed in bewil-
dered pursuit and saw their venerable
pastor with flying robe rush into the
water until ii came to his neck. Then.
turning round. he faced his astOniShed
audience and said:
Dearly beloved brethren, | am not
crazy. as no doubt many of you think.
but Yesterday at the drug store | bought
a bottle of nitric acid and carelessly
left it in my pocket today.
MY last gesture broke the bottle. 1
knew the suffering the acid would cause
when it penGtrated my clothing and
rushed for the water to save myself
pain"
He drew several pieces OF glass from
his pocket in witness of the tale. Then
he dismissed the company and hurried

AN EYE FOR BUSINESS.
The Way DisraeIi "Put One Over" on
Publisher Colburn.

When the Hon. Mr.. Ward wrote his
novel "Tremaine" he was fearful of
acknowledging himself the author I'M
til its fate should have been ascer-
tanned. He accordingly, the better to
preserve his incognito, sent the manu-
script copy by the wife of his attorney
to Mr.. Colburn. The work, although
accepted, was not considered likely to
pay extremely well. and consequently
a trifling sum was given for it. Con
trary. however, to Mr.. Colburn's eX-
pectatiOns. it ran to three editions.
The ingenious author of Vivian
Grey" then twenty-five years old, hav-
ing heard Of the circumstances, deter
mined TO use it to advantage, and ac-
cordingly, having arranged his work
for publication, he proceeded to find
out the honorable gentleman's fair
messenger. This he quickly effected
and upon a promise Of giving her 700
induced her to be the bearer of his
novel to the same publisher.
The woman was instantly recognized
by Mr.. Coburn as the same person
who brought him 'Tremaine," and.
recOllecting the great sale of that nov
ell, he leaped at the manuscript pre-
sented to him with the utmost eager
ness. 1t was quickly read and Il hand
some sum given for the copyright a
short time, however. enabled Mr.. Col
burn to find out his error, but too tate
to remedy himself. The work was not
successful, and a considerable sum was
lost by its publication
