Crocodiles of the Congo.

There are large number Of hippopot-

Of his bath suddenly he falls over and

The Facetlous Boston BARBER.

One night Bob fell In with fellow
who was English, you know"
The latter was berating the Yankees
for doing all manner OF business in
their shops and not following the better
English plan OF sticking to one branch.
The next day he staggered into Bob's
shop to be shaved. Bob gave his face
an extra good soaping and left him, at
the same time seating himself to
read,
The Englishman kept quiet for few
minutes, when. seeing Bob reading, he
blurted out. Why don't you shave me-
sir?"
You will have to go up street for
your shave" quietly replied the barber

The Country Store,

Did you ever glance through country
or suburban general store?' When
the usual economical man whose taste
does not run to the pillow, the rather
gentle and unambitious gentleman,
with the pretty blonde wife and a new
baby every year, looks around in quiet
spot to see what he can bring into the
village for little capital to sell at a
moderate profit, he sees the limits OF
any special article except whisky, and
he goes in for everything. OF course
he has school books, some of them
rather out of date, but still full Of ques-
tons and answers and figures and facts.
Toys he must have, and here and there
you will find the transparent slate, the
brilliant top, the puzzle OF last century,
the old, old figures that we-if you are
old enough to be included-were
brought up to consider the height of in
genuity. the acme of entertainment.
You will find candies in bottles, made
on old principles and healthy to cat il
pasty to look at. There may be flies in
the bottles, but with ingenious youth
they pass for currants, and once in a
while the storekeeper comes across a
drummer who sells him lot OF old
faded fancy paper boxes from dead
Christmas times and birthdays Of the
past, and breaks up the village with
the senation. Then you'll find slate
pencils. They have but little faith in
the general comprehension of their
customers, these cor::try storekeepers,
and so they always tie the pencil to the
slate so that there can be no mistake.
Stacks of picture-boolls OF n pattern
the city kid would turn up his con-
temptuous nose at will be found in kind
Of boxes or managers, all bundled UP
together, and sold apparently by their
thickness. Balls of Irvine, Bohemian
glass inkstands of cheap price; note

monographs and things that have passed

lozenges, with notices half melted
away; all sorts of TOYS and useful
things in thin metal and painted wood.
