Passing Away of the Old Curiosity Shop.

The most curious of all curious
shops are decidedly the curiosity
shops, nov becoming scarcer every
year. "a Certainly these have lots of
useless things to sell, and, strange to
say. nobody ever purchases them.
This is unusual in the ordinary course,
as for some. useless things there is
quite a large demand but for the ar.
tfcles Of yertu and kpiek-knaeks from
all corners of the globe there is lit
tie or no market, except at titful sea-

frequently keep such Shops, amass

a limited comprehension. 80 a. ~

Notwithstanding. that the affable old
man will show you everything he has
to sell, and is perfectly willing to deal
with you If you have anght to dispose
of, he never seems to have any Gus
toners to buy. And the old gentle
man does not mind. He opens his
shop regularly at irregular hours. and
shuts; it at irregular hours, and if he
wants to go anywhere on. business he
locks and bars and bolts the door and
leaves the place deserted and unprp-
tected, and contentedly goes his jour,

year, but it is hardly possible that
they will disappear altogether. Their
place is largely taken now by fashion;
able establishments that: sell cracked

Agriculture In the Yukon !.

was that the Yukon district seemed to
