Ineren»»d Stale* of Rncor* Indicate
TUut More Men Thau Ever Be
fore Shave Themselves.
“There are soli in this country to
day,” said a cutlery mau, according to
the New York Sun, “a hundred times
as many razors as were sold here 40
years ago.
“Some share of this increase is due,
of course, to the advance in population,
but the greater part is due to the large
increase in the proportion of men who
shave themselves. More men than ever
before now possess this polite art.
“With a greater number of individ
ual users of razors there are, of course,
many more razors now' sold. And, of
sourse, plenty of men owrn more than
one razor; everyone ought to own two,
at least, as many men do. One good
razor properly cared for might serve
its purpose continuously and well for
a long time without regrinding or hon
ing, but an accident might happen to
it, and against that a man guards by |
having at least one extra razor.
“Many men buy sets of seven razors,
one for each day in the wreek, and there
are men who have sets of 31 razors, one
for every day in the month. And trav- j
elers going to distant countries and into 1
regions where facilities would be lack
ing buy cases of razors to take with
them. A traveler starting out with a
case of half a dozen razors in perfect
condition would have a razor outfit
that, with such care as he could be
stow upon it himself, would serve him
well for years.
“The best razor that can be made
can be bought with a plain handle for
two dollars; anything more than that in
the cost of it would be in the mounting
—in pearl handles and so on. You can
buy a case of seven fine razors, sim
ply mounted, for $12, or you can pay
$50 or more for a case of razors with
the same blades, but with fine mount- j
ings and in a finer case.”

Doctors Have Cnt Off Another Article
of Diet—Vegetable Said to Carry
Typhoid Germs.
Now the physicians are said to have
forbidden another relish nearly as pop
ular as oysters at this time, says the
Washington Star. Celery has come
under the ban of the doctors, who say
that It is equally well adapted to trans
mitting the poisonous elements of the
soil and carrying the germs of typhoid.1
The disease can be acquired only by
introducing the microbes into the sys
tem in food or drink, and for that rea
son advice against certain kinds of food
is always likely to be regarded. But
to what extent this may be carried is
well understood by the proprietor of
one hotel, who has seen oysters during
the past three weeks disappear almost
entirely from the orders of his guests.
Some weeks ago a well-known man died
of /phoid fever. He had lived at a
large hotel, and the report went about
that he had got his illness there. “What-!
ever you do, don’t eat oysters at that
hotel,” was the advice that one friend
was giving another, based on the belief
that this man had died of a disease con
tracted in the hotel dining-room, where
the chances were immensely in favor
of his having got the fever somewhere
else.
If they keep on there will be nothing
left for us to eat except fish and frit
ters, and the latter will probably be cut
off soon and pills substituted.
SOLD HER HUSBAND'S GRAVE.
—
How a Sonthern Woman Hade a Prof
itable Speculation on a City
Cemetery Lot,
“One of those things which go to shoW
that where there Is a will there is a way
is well exemplified by a happening in a
certain southern city,” said a well
known former railroad man in the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. “A man be
fore his marriage had purchased a
beautifully located lot In the city cem
etery and paid $100 for it. After awhile
he married and some ten or twelve years
afterward died and was buried in the
aforesaid beautifully located lot and his
grave was carefully attended for awhile
by his widow.
“When the big show came off in Chi
cago and all the world was en route to
that mecca the widow took a notion she
must see the show. As a result of
long cogitation over ways and means
she had the body of her deceased hus- \
band exhumed and railroaded 50 miles i
away and reburied at a cost of about
$75, when she sold the cemetery lot for
$600 and had a good old time at the big
, world’s fair. Somewhat of a financier,
wasn’t she?”
Glnaa-Mnklnff in Japan.
The art of making glass was intro
duced into Japan about 150 years ago
by a Hollander, who settled at Osaka.
For several generations the knowledge
of the prodess was confined to a single
family, and it was not until about 1879
that the employment of coal instead of
charcoal, and the construction of brick
chimneys, enabled the manufacturers
to introduce Improvements which
placed the industry on a substantial
basis. Osaka has continued to be the
center of the industry, and now' manu
factures for export besides supplying
the home demand.
Sore to Be Fined.
Some butchers of Frankfort, Ger
many, evidently find it cheaper to be
fined small sums for using boraeic
acid in the manufacture of Frankfort:
sausages than to be haled up for sell
ing meats affected with trichinae or
allowing the dearer meats to spoil in
other ways. John Klein, a butcher,
followed the example of many others
lecently and was fined only $2.36. If
this sum were paid every day in fines,
the loss caused the butcher would not
be so great in a year as the loss from
meats undoctored with the chemicaL
