THE SAFETY RAZOR.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
The safety razor Is now so much used
and is sold in such number of makes
that We suppose one can write about il
without the sinister suspicion of adver-
tisement. Men take their advantages
very easily; once provided with rain
bows, they fancy the world always to
have been composed of rainbews and are
sometimes annoyed when they are re-
minded that rainbows and safety razors
were not always. But to the traveller
that must bump on railway trains or
sway in steamers the safety razor is a
great advance in the amenities of life
Before its modest little box appeared
shaving was attended with many haz-
ards. 1t had to be done some way or
other, and it was too often the other
way. One was held to ransom by the
barber and limited by ones strop. To-
days razor usually went dull in time
for use and all OF them had trick or
disappearing into that mysterious hinter-
land in which the maid so delights to
seclude ones slippers. Besides, shaving
with old-fashioned Arme blanche con-
sumed great deal Of time.
or course, there are those that profess
themselves able to shave in two minutes,
but We are talking of ordinary men with
scimitar in hand and worked away, and
you were pretty careful how you did II,
else you presented battle-scarred ap-
pearance marvellous to behold. 1t was q
qualification to be shaver but it was
penftence to shave, and each shaving
was serious job. Then there was the
stropping. There have never been more
than dozen men in the world that
knew how to strop razor; the rest
merely did wrist exercise with a piece
of leather. The strop acquired a nice
polish and in time became really hand
some, but the razor assumed eccentric
outlines. Nor did it become sharper; on
the contrary, it became, even duller than
when it was warranted; too thin and
spooned for midiron and TOO small
for horticulture. 1t lay sardonicsIy in
its leather case, the world forgetting
and by the world forgot.
Then came the safety razor, that graf.
ed soother of impatient chins. the friend
Of all and alder Of the clumsy. How

From the Cleveland Leader.

Rubber is much cheaper than ii was a
year of two ago, and everything points to
lower prices in the future. The worlds
of this exceedingly useful
gum increases rapidly, but the produc-
ton of the rubber plantations in the Ma
lay peninsula on several islands of the
East Indies, especially Borneo and Su-
matra, in Ceylon, and i'm other tropical
regions is so great that it seems impos-
sibe to prevent decided lowering Of
prices in the markets of Europe and
America.
In the Malay peninsula. where the pro-
duction of rubber on plantations is far
Their advanced than it is anywhere else
in the world, the increase in the output
of trees set out and titled like apple
orchards has been so rapid that the ex-
ports last year showed gain of 80 per

things have changed! Now a man can
stand in front of the glass, or even with
out it, and with the little safety razor
in his hand he makes stroke after stroke,
like an artist that is painting a beauti-
full picture, like a Pygmalion with a
stubbly Galatea. Out of the soap emer-
ges the rosy face of a man that can
now face the world, a shaved and happy
man, whose countenance has not been
riren with sundry channels and grooves
and that has been without fear. BY such
evidences is the ingenuity of man shown
to the world and the advance OF better
methods is marked. We would not be
misunderstood; we are conducting no
campaign against the old razors and
none for the new; we simply chant the
lay of them that lacked manual dex-
terity until they were cheered and re-
formed by the safety razor.

The average lifetime of the different

cate, 10 years; the SO gold certificate,

States paper currency in circulation Is
gradually increasing and numbered &c.,

1885 pieces of United States currencs
redeemed during the same period, which
exceeded by s,21S,415 the number of pieces
issued the preceding year. The increasing
growth in redemptions is due primarily
to the growth in business activities, the
publicity given to unclsanliness and al
legged insanitation Of soiled notes, and the
consequent demand for cleaner money:
the growing practice of payment of
wages in factories, shops, &C., weekly
and biweekly, as compared with month

Oil Discovered at Roosevelt

A few days or weeks may de monstrate that the Roosevelt re- servoir overlies a vast under ground lake of petroleum, from which the government can pump more than enough oil to pay for the big dam and the Salt River valley irrigation system.
 Oil indications have been dis covered throughout the Roose- velt region. A Globe company has been formed, with Colonel James A. Fleming as president and that concern is already bor- ing for oil across the lake from the town of Roosevelt.
 Great excitement prevails a. round Roosevelt and the opera tons of the Globe company are being watched with much inter- est.
 The government owns the ground covered by the Roose- welt reservoir, and also the ground for several hundred wards back from the edge of the reser- volr when full. The reclamation act, contrary to general opinion, does not contemplate turning the ownership of the reservoir, dam and distributing systems over to the farmers of the Salt River valley. The farmers must pay for these things, it is true, but it is merely the maintenance and operation that is to be turned over to them. The title will re- main perpetually in the govern ment
 If it develops that oil lies under the lake the government will have a property worth millions of dollars aside from it's value as a storage reservoir for irrigation water. Uncle Sam can either lease the lake for pumping pur- poses or congress can make some arrangements to have the oil pumped and sold for the nation.
 It will be hardly possible to pump out in the middle of the
