The Wrong Leir. There was nu eminent sei-g.cnt nt law ■nine years ngo who hail n tv.u 'i : 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 swers. To J«<RI the Arc of Lnce. 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.— Connoisseur. 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 rosfc 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. —Exchange. !

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.
