Two CENTS WORTH IN CHINA.-A
fellow who has been shaved in China says
the barber first strapped the razor on his
leg, and then did the shaving without any
lather. The customer demonstrated, but
was told that the lather was entirely USE
less, and had a tendency to make the hair
stiff and tough, and was, therefore, never
used by persons who had any knowledge
of the face and its appendages. After the
beard had been taken of-and it was done
in very short time-the barber took a
long, sharp, needle-headed spoon, and be-
gan to explore the customers ear. Then
the barber suddenly twisted his subjects
neck to one side in such manner that it
cracked as if the vertibra had been dslo-
Gated. "Hold on !" shouted the party,
alarmed for the safety of his neck. "All
right replied the tonsor, ''me no hurt
you," and he continued to jerk and twist
the head until it was as timber as an old
lady's dish-rag. lie then fell to beating the
back, breast, arms, and sides with hi
fist; then he pummeled the muscles til
they fairly glowed with the beating
they received. He then dashed bucket
of cold water over his man, dried his skin
with towels, and declared that his work
was done. Price two cents.

THE OLD BARN.

Riclsety, old, and crazy,
Shingleless, lacking some doors;
Bad in the upper story,
Wanting boards in the floors
Beams strung thick with cobwebs.
Rldge-pole yellow and gray,
Hanging in helpless innocence
Over the mowS of hay.
How the winds turned around it,
winds of a stormy day
Scattering the fragrant hay seed,
Whislsing the straws away;
streaming in at the crannies,
Spreading the clover smell,
Changing the dark old granary
Into flowery dell.
o, how love the shadows
That a lung to the silent roof,
Day dreams wove With the quiet,
Many glittering wool;
climbed TO the highest rafters,
And watched the swallow play,
Admired the knots in the boarding
And rolled in the pillows OF hay.
Palace of king couldn't matchit,
The Vatican looses Its charm
When placed in my memory's balance,
Beside the old gray barn!
And I'd rather scent the clover
Piled In the barns roomy mows,
Than sii in the breath of the highland
Poured from Appenine brows
