Last Blue Flag" l wrote steadily
for sometime and finally reached the
point where it is customary to emu
merate the virtues of the deceased.
"Quin had way with him" wrote.
Suddenly l heard sound that
brought the cold sweat to my brow.
GUMS bed was creaking! My hair
rose. The pencil dropped from my
shaking hand. Then came sound
of heavy footsteps. The door opened
and Quin-or his ghost-stood before
me. His face was threatening. In
his hand he held the dress shirt pur-
chased for his funeral!
"Did yez ever see the loikes of
that?" he exclaimed.
''Why, Quin," l chartered, "what
are you doing here?"
HE shook the offending shirt in my
face. 81 must have been soused to the

He staggered unsteadily down the

shop he stouted, "Foive dollars for a

The average measurement around
the chin from ear to ear is found to
be 1914 inches. From where the
beard starts on the throat to the chin
and thence to the edge of the under
lip is A Y inches. Two strokes OF the
razor are required to each inch or
fraction of an inch in order to cover
all the surface, and each section Of
the face is to be gone over twice to
get a "clean shave" So multiplying
the number of strokes by the number
of times the razor is passed over the
entire face, you get the figure four,
and four time the two above mention
ed measurements gives you the fig
ure of so and 10 respectively, which
added together produce 60. There
fore the average man, whether dark
or light, shaves SO inches once every
"a hours. So every man wearing only
a mustache shaves 2068 feet inches
a year. Taking, then, the average
life as 70 years, and that the fair
man begins shaving at 18 and the
dark man year earlier, or at II,
we have the following result: That
a fair man, if he lives till he is 70,
will shave in a course of his life 20
miles, 651 yards and 4 inches. The
dark man, if he lives till he is 70, will
shave in the course of his life 20
miles, 1910 yards, foot and 8 inches.
