LEGAL PHRASEOLOGY.
What af Ik* T«ra» Caaaasaa ta
Crart Praetlea Moaa.
To most portion* the phrase "This In
denture wltnesseth" Is as much Creek
as the other common phrase "Wltuoaa
my hand and soul." Yet both are rullca
of a time when these legal forms car
ried with them a significance uot ob
taining at present.
Legal documents were Mice engross
ed upon purehment because paper coat
•o much more than dressed skin. The
purehment was aeldom trimmed ex-
uetly and the top was scalloped with
the knife; hence the term "This In
denture." Even where the lawyers
have departed from the custom, still
obtaining In England, of using parch
ment for their legal forms the phruse
has been retained.
In the siime way the signature of
"hand nnd seal” Is a relic of those old
en times when only clerks mid the
clergy could wield the pen. It was the
custom for the contracting parties to
lay their hands upon the document 111
token of good faith, nnd there reuinlned
a smudge. As these original thumb
marks were not easily Identified, the
gentry added their seals for the pur-
poseof further establishing tlie validity
of the document. It may not lie gener
ally known that a seal is still required
In law, though the need for It passed
with the spread of education, nnd the
bit of red paper affixed by the lawyer
Is as necessary as the signature to cer
tain documents.
A court of law Is a reminiscence of
tlie time when justice sat In the open
courtyard, and the "dock” Is from a
(lerinaii word meaning a receptacle,
while the "bar" is a Welsh word
meaning a branch of a tree used to
separate the lords of justice from their
vassals.
The entire phraseology of the bench
Is reminiscent of the earlier days, but,
having been proved proper, has been
retained. New York Herald.

lCHrtli<|Uiil.<* Proof mill Able l» Stand
the Severe*! Shock.
The absence of buildings of any size
and antiquity in Japan is ascribed to
the destruction of them by the frequent
earthquakes which occur. The only
structures which seeui to be earth
quake proof are tin* pagodas which arc
erected before the temples. There are
many pagodas which art* Tiki or huo
years old and ns solid as when first
! built. There is a reason for this, and
I it lies In their construction. A pagoda
Is practically a framework of heavy
timbers which starts from a wide base
I and Is in Itself a substantial strucRire,
but it is rendered still more stable by
a peculiar device. Inside the frame
work and suspended from the apex Is
a long, heavy bulk of timber two feet
thick or more. This hangs from one
end, nnd to the other end are bolted at
each of the four sides four more heavy
timbers, and if the pagoda be very
lofty still more timbers are added on
to these. The whole forms an enor
mous pendulum which reaches to with
in six inches of the ground. When the
shock of an earthquake rocks the pngo-
da the pendulum swings in unison nud
keeps the center of gravity always at
the base of the framework. Conse
quently the equilibrium of the pagoda
It never disturbed, and this is the ex
planation of the gfeat age of many of
them, when ffoin their height one
would suppose them to be peculiarly
euaceptttJW fo the effect of -an earth
quake.
