This witness, a stage driver, in an

"Yes, sir."

The witness was staggered for a mo

lawyer was feeling triumphant when

lawyer:

.4Hooky Mountain j When was It usual to Insert running
men ury in the barks of swords?
| This wus a comparatively common
practice among the Italian, French and
Hpunish swordmaker# of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, hut It waa
more of a fancy than anything else, for
It never came Into general use. It wua
not, of course, used for ruplers or the
lighter kind of swords, but for the
heavier cutting swords.
The method was to cast the blade
rattier broader at the back than usual,
with a hollow running down it. This
was half tilled with quicksilver and
sealed up. The idea was that when a
blow was struck with such a sword
the quicksilver would fly to the point
and so Increase the weight of the blow.
This theoretical advantage, however,
did not at nil counterbalance the gen
eral clumsiness of the weapon and its
unhandiness In guarding, and so the
niereurlale swords, ns they were called,
from which their Ingenious Inventor
hoped so much, were rather military
curiosities than practical successes.—

Ill* Innocent Client. -
This story is told of a celebrated
North Forolina lawyer who was prac
ticing In a backwoods mountain dis
trict:
While he was waiting for his case to
be reached the trial of a notorious
highway robber, who had been caught
red handed, was called. The prisoner
had n6 counsel, and the presiding
Judge requested the distinguished law
yer to defend him. The trial lasted
two days and, to the court’s astonish
ment. the Jury returned a verdict «f
acquittal. As the prisoner was about
to be discharged, the lawyer stepped
up to the Judge and requested a few
words in private.
"What Is It?" asked the court.
“1 would ask your honor." replied the
tawjtr. “to have ih* prisoner dit:;’.red
in Jail tonight. I have to cross n lone
ly Held on my way home and the ras
cal happens to know that I have uiouey
• bout ti.e.”
Cold Feel.
Cold fret arc a sign of disordered dr-
dilation. Continual warming with ar
tificial heat is but temporizing with
the evil, and the dlllleulty should be
overcome by pro|n?r dressing when that
la in fault ami by foot and nnkle exer
cises, The latter can be taken at fre
quent Intervals during the day, uud
they Mill assist In stimulating the cir
culation of the blood. Point the toes
down to the extreme limit till you feel
the muscles strain over the ankles and
work the feet up and duun eight or
ten times; then devitalise them and
•hake them front the nnkle, as one
does the haml with a loose wrist Suf
ferers from cold feet In bed can quickly
warm them by this exercise, and it
will bring relief and comfort during

"Uncross your legs," said a doctor.
"Oh, no!” said his son. "What’s the
use of being so polite all the time?”
"My boy,” the father answered, "It is
not on account of a mere rule of eti
quette that I tell you to uncross your
legs, but it Is beenuse leg crossing Is
an injurious thing, a thing as baleful to
the health os kissing or as microbes.
"When you cross your legs, you fit
the knee cap of the upper limb Into the
cavity under the kuee of the lon’er one.
In the cavity that you thus compress
there ore the two Important exterior
and interior popliteal nerves and a
number of glands and blood vessels.
Compression does not act well on these
organs. It benumbs them and weak
