CLASSICAL ADVERTISING.
"Dad," said young Archie, as ho came home from school one afternoon, "there's a new pt-ofessore-in the High-street." "A professor of what?" asked his father.. "I^don't know. I saw his sign in front of iiis office." "A professor doesn't usually hang out a sign." "This one does, and. I copied it so that I could ask you about it." Here Archie produced a scrap of paper, upon which he had carefully and laboriously transcribed, "Aristides M'Corkie, Professor of Crinicultural Abscission and Craniological Tripsis." "Well,", said Archie's father, after a moment's cogitation, "if I havo not forgotten my classics, your new professor is what. is' sometimes called a tonsorial artist, and'it appears from his sign he makes a. specialty of haircutting and shampooing." ,
