Hindoo baby hangs in basket lgom the
roof, and is taught to smoke long before
be learns TO walk. Among the Western
Ipdisqs the poor little tots are tied last to

Seated in the chair with a big apron

man resembled Christian martyr being

that the barber was one Of those talka-
tive men SO rarely found in shops of the

victim with remarks of a pleasant and in
quiring character. Having discussed the
weather, the Sargent Chronicle trial, and
the Russo Turkish war, the barber pro-
ceeded to business.
