Stuono- Beaijd.—Three brothers, bearing a remarkable resemblance to each other, recently went into the same barber's shop, and on the same day, to be shaved —one going in the morning, the other at noon, and the third at night. When the last one appeared the barber, who was a German, dropped his razor in astonishment, and exclaimed, " Veil, dat man hash the fashtest beard I never saw ! I shaves him dis inorain', shaves him at dinner-times, and he comes back now, mit his beard so long as it never vash." A Chicago thief picked a policeman's pocket of a lunch prepared for stray dogs ; and strychnine in it being out of proportion to the other ingredients the thief died an hour after eating it.
