A New York mechanician snys, "I once invented a shaving machine to go by horse-power. When it was completed, I s;it six men in the chairs, adjusted the belt, and droYa-up: It was the cleanest shave that any one ever got. While it worked well enough, those men were obliged to complain very niunhofthe loss of ear, noses, and eyebrows. People got to looking on with disfavour, and I was obliged to turn into a sausage cutter."
We knew of an excellent lady who had her beds made on Sunday morning as usual, but would not let the servants turn down the edge of the sheet or beat up the bolster. The lino must he drawn somewhero between necessary aad .unnecessary laboiUi*, and she drew it at pillow-cases.— New York Tribune.
