young woman in order to secure the
diamond rings which she wore. The

not less than $1,000. This brilliant ar

There is one barber shop in the

all the operatives. including the

In their places are two graduates
of deaf mutes' training school, the
proprietor himself being one.
The BARRIERS seem to have no diff
Guilty in understanding the wants Of
their patrons, and they can also make
the patrons understand them by pan
tomime. But in case any difficulty
should arise in this respect small
slate and pencil hangs by the side Of
each chair.
One advantage the operatives have
over their fellows is that they can
make comments about their patrons

THE LIMIT OF. ALLlreRArlon
No One Has Equaled These Lines,
Result Of a Challenge.

Result Of Challenge.
A literary Frenchman being in
company with DR.. Wallis, was boast
ing of the superiority of the French
language in regard to euphony, and
challenged the doctor to produce any
thing in English equal to the follow
ing lines:
Quand un Cordier, cordant, veult
corder une corde,
Pour sa corde, corder, trois cordons IL
accorde;
Mis- ST un des cordons de la corde dis
corde.
Le Gordon discordant fait disorder
la corde.
The doctor. with promptitude, i'm
mediately translated the very words
into English, only substituting for the
French word corde the English word
twist. The first four Of the following
lines exactly correspond with those
OF the Frenchman; the next four were
added by the doctor by way of COM
pleting his triumph. The remaining
lines were not written till some time
after.
DR.. Johnson was SO pleased with
the above anecdote that he gives the
whole twelve lines in his folio die
tionary, to show into how many twist
ings and bearings the words twist and
twister may be twisted:
When a twister twisting will twist
him twist,
For the twisting his twist he three
times doth entwist;
But II one of the twists Of the twist
doth untwist
The twine that untwisteth, untwisteth
the twist.
Untwisting the twihe that untwisteth
between,
He twines with his twister the two in
twine;
The twist having twisted the twines
of the twine,
He twisteth the twine he had twisted
in twain.
The twine that in twisting before
in the twine,
AS twines were untwisted, he now
doth untwine;
'Twixt the twain intertwistins a twine
