Ono of tho German daily papers quotes Hiiidenburg as saying that when he shaves himself on ac.tivo servico ho places himself before a wall, chalks an oval mark on it and stares at the mark while he works with tho razor. He holds that the chief thing is to have something to look at. Tho Gorman General's accomplishment reminds one of tho father who wrote to. a eohool master. "Dear Sir,—l am taking John away from Greek in order to toach him something that in after life will be more useful to him than Greek-vviz., how to shave without ' a mirror."- ' *
