The Wrong Leir.
There was nu eminent sei-g.cnt nt law

that was a triumph of nrtir.l'.e tl.vi :•
tlon. None but Ills Intimates kii; w t'i /
certain which was the real ami w! .eh
was the shatu limb. A wild young w.;,:
of the “outer bar,” who knew the set-
gen at pretty well, once though; tu r.C-
Izo this knowledge of the sergeant's s: ■
cret to take In a green, newly Hedged
young barrister. The sergeant was ml
dressing a special Jury nt Westminster
In Ills nsunl earnest and vehement
style, and the wag whispered to his
neighbor:
"You see how hot old Busfuz Is ovei
his case. Now, I’ll bet you n sovereign
I'll run this piti Into his leg up to the
head and he’ll never notice It. lie's so
absorbed In his speech. Lie's a most ex
traordinary man In that way.”
This wns more than the greenhorn
could Rwallow, so he took the bet. The
wag took a large pin front his waist
coat and, leaning forward, drove It up
to the head in the sergeant’s log. A yell
thnt froze the blood of nil who heard It,
that made the hair of the jury stand on
cod and the judge's wig almost full oft',
l-aug through the court.
"By .love, It’s the wrong log! I’ve lost
my money," exclaimed the dismayed
and conscience stricken wag. quite re
gardless of the pain he had Inflicted up
on the learned sergeant.—London An

In fixing the approximate date of
any given piece of lace it is well to re
member thut machine made thread wns
not used till after the beginning of the
clghteentb century. Before that time
the threads ran In lengths of about
twenty Inches, for the worker could
stretch no farther than her dlstnlT and
Imd to break off and join again, so thnt
after unraveling some twenty-live
Inches of ithrend no Joint Is found the
lace Is surely after the Introduction of
machine made thread. The “bride’s
ornce” alone are enough to go by. In
the fifteenth century the Itur hud only
a knot or n dot ns ornnment. In the
sixteenth a double or single loop and
In the seventeenth a star. The edging
nlso helps. A sharp angle In the seal-
lop fixes the date In the middle ages,
the rounded scallop came In with the
nineteenth century, with the seven
teenth a dotted scallop, and the eight
eenth century one Is more elaborate, a
large alternating with n small scallop
and dots along In the center of each.—

Homs Tyrolean Epitaph*.
A German traveler tuts discovered
some quaint epitaphs In a Tyrolean
cemetery.
On a tombstone In a valley of Tux
was this Inscription; “In pious remein-
branee of the honest widow Anna
Krledl, forty yenrs long.”
A miller Is thus remembered: “In
Christian memory of LI , who de
parted this life without human assist
ance.”
A farmer whose Initials only are
given and who appears to hnve been
the author of bis own epitaph has this
memorial: “Here rests In God P. K.
He lived twenty-six yenrs ns man and
thirty-seven years ns husband.”
On the tomb of a man who fell from
a roof and was killed are these words:
“IIerr fell .Incob Uosennkopf from the
toot Into eternity.”
This wall of a desolate husband caps
the climax: "Tears cannot bring thee
back to life. Therefore 1 weep.”—
Household Words.
She Needed Then.
"I wish. John." she said regretfully.
“I had hnd sense cuougli not to destroy
nil the letters you wrote me during the
year and a half of your courtship.”
He smiled In « gratified way. “1
knew you would regret that some time.”
he said.
“Indeed I do." she replied. “1 need a
little change the worst sort of way,
and the man who buys rugs and old pa
per was here today. How wasteful we
are In onr youth!"
He looked at her reproachfully, and
almost Involuntarily his baud sought
.his pocketbook. It Is seldom Indeed
that a resourceful wor.iifti has to make
a direct request for money.—Chicago

Farnttnre Polish.
A recipe for a very superior furnl-
•ture polish given by a denier In musical
Instruments to a housewife as the
cause for the shlniug surfaces of the
-pianos Jn hts rooms cousists of four
tahlespooofuls of sweet oil. four table-
spoonfuls of turpentine, a teaspoonful
. of lemon Juice ami ten drops of house
hold ammonia. This polish must be
: thoroughly shaken before using and ap-
• piled with an old fiaunel or silk cloth.
rRttb- briskly and thoroughly, which Is
-.at.least, a .third of the merit of all pol-
'.iabes. Use a second cloth to rub the
tnixturo Into the grain of the wood and
a dkhed far, the. final polish.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
The burning of a sulphur candle 'n a
room Infested with pests of any kind
will relieve you of them In a short time.
Classes which have been used for
milk should be washed first In cold wa
ter and then in hot soapsuds. This will
make them clear nifil shining.
Wilted or drooping flowers may be
revived by giving them n quick plunge
Into moderately hot water In which a
few drops of ammonia have been
poured.
Never put soda In the water lu which
you wash china that lias nuy gilding
on It. Soda Injures the gliding. In
stead use soap, which answers just ns
well and has no 111 effects.
In washing cut glass only moder
ately hot water should be used on ac
count of the glass being of varying
thickness, which causes the dishes to
expand unevenly If subjected to ex
cessive changes of temperature.
A ttattlemnake'a Wisdom.
The writer of this rode bronchos and
"punched” cattle on the ranges of Mon
tana nuil Wyoming twenty yenrs ago
and Imd ample opportunity to study
the habits of rattlesnakes. He knows
how they went Into their holes then,
and It Is doubtful If auy Improvement
has since been made In their method.
They start In lieud first, and one would
promptly come to the conclusion that
they reach the bottom of their holes In
tills mnnner, hut Mr. Snake Is too wily
to keep Ills head where lie c.anuot have
an eye oh the rest of Ills body: there
fore as soon as he enters the hole a few
Inches he makes a half turn which
brings Ills head to the entrance again
and then permits the remainder of his
length to glide down out of sight—a
very simple performance, you will see.

When Grace XVn* Said.
A Barnard college girl tells In the
New York Times of visiting In n house
hold where grace was said at the tnble
sciutocenslonally. Her curiosity got
the better of her. nud she asked the
mistress of the house why they didn't
observe the rite regulnrly. "Why."
said the lady with some surprise, “we
any grace only when we have renson
to be thankful. We never dream of
giving thanks when we have only
roast beef or beefsteak or some simple
thing dike thnt; but whenever we liuv*
