MILLIONTH JOURNEY.
STATELY CEREMONY IN
"HOTEL” LIFT,
London, July 29-Robertson, the stately and dignified attendant | of the main lift of the Savoy Hotel, drove his moving room of gold) and red lacquer towards the skies for the millionth time just before the luncheon hour yesterday:
The achievement was registered on a dial in the engine-rooms below, where every journey of all the lifts has been automatically registered since their installation.
Robertson has been driving this lift for 18 years. For the last three days he has been kept in- formed of the figures on the dial. Yesterday, having completed the 999.999th journey, he went in, search of three people in the foyer who had been warned of the approaching moment,
Then the ceremony of the millionth journey began. In the lift were Judge Hazlitt, of New York, who, as an unknown lawyer many years ago, was one of the first of Robertson's passengers; a elderly. white-haired Italian princess who has been a twice- yearly visitor for years; and a London financier who, living on the third floor, is the mast regular passenger. A rable bearing glasses stood discreetly in a
corner.
For the millionth time the lift ascended. On the top floor it paused for a moment. The three passengers raised their glasses to the stately figure in blue and silver. A few minutes later he had registered а few more journeys towards his second million.

Shaving Brush Secrets,
"Real badger hair, sir-only three shillings.". This was said to the writer by way of pushing the sale of a shaving brush, but the description did not deceive. B.dgers are very, very rare in Great Britain, and are becoming. marer still every year.
Even on the Continent they are not numer nus. Then, as those who know how delightfully springy a real bidger brush is can guess, only the hair of certain parts of the animal can be used. This reduces the pumber of genuine badger- hair brushes still more. Pigs' bristles are too hard to take the place of badger hair, while the hair of other animals is mostly too soft and not sufficiently resilient. the oposslim and the tis mongoose which supply most of the “badger-hair” used brushes. Why the badger should have to shoulder a responsibility which really belongs elsewhere is one of the mysteries of trade names which, like that "beaver hat," and many others, puzzle the ordinary man.
