A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ETC
It was his brother's birthday, and he wished to buy him an appropriate present. He entered a bookshop and asked for a book suitable for a scientist dealing with natural history, for his brother was a zoologist. The assistant looked over the shelves with a knowing air. Finally selecting a book, he placed it on the counter and said :■ — "This is by a first-class author, sir." The would-be purchaser took hold of the book and saw, in large letters, the words "Buzzer's Anthology." "Anthology?" he remarked. "Aye," said the knowing young assistant. "All about ants, you know— Oy Professor Buzzer."
