Briqhtenina the Shave.

An Englishman, weary of blood
shed, has bethought him of means
of enlightening the gloomy and 9TH
erwise dangerous ritual of the shave,
says Popular Science Monthly. He
has invented miniature electric
lamp provided with an adjustable clip
and flexible cord which may be at
tached to the razor and light the path
of the blade through the tough bris-
ties of the human face.
With his lamp attachment one may
plunge fearlessly into the blacklist
depths of three days growth of
beard and emerge from the ordeal I'M
scathed. The lamp.is attached to a
conventional type of razor by a sim
pie clip 1t travels with the blade or
with the motion of the hand. By look
ing into the mirror the man shaving
himself can determine just what pro-
gress he is making and whether or
not he is going to come through the
operation with his two ears intact.

"Why, it's the furnace" she ad-

as a nuisance. A furnace isn't nuis-

able friend-only, like most friends, it
has to be liked and appreciated and
visited with in order to do its best
work. SO, instead of going down to
put coal in a cold, forbidding, ugly
stove my husband goes down to feed
Horace, and make him feel better for
having his cinders shaken down, to pat
him metaphorically with the poker,

twinkle of a long row of lights that
wavered above the road. The lights
were moving slowly but steadily
toward the battle front. Soon the CRATE

clear in the frosty air, helping me to

that the enemy were deluging a par

The Russians pace is the shortest, be-
