The Wrong Leg.

There was an eminent sergeant at law
some years ago who had a cork leg
that was a triumph Of artistic decep-
ton. None but his intimates knew for
certain which was the real and which
was the sham limb. A wild young wag
of the "outer bar" who knew the SER
geant pretty well, once thought to util-
ize this knowledge of the sergeants Sc
cret to take in a green, newly fedged
young barrister. The sergeant was adj
dressing a special jury at Westminster
in his usual earnest and vehement
style, and the wag whispered to his
neighbor:
you see how hot old Buzfuz is over
his case. Now, I'll bet you a sovereign
I'll run this pin into his leg up to the
head and he'll never notice it, he's so
absorbed in his speech. He's most ex-
traordinary man in that way"
This was more than the greenhorn
could swallow, so he took the bet. The
wag took large pin from his waist
coat and, leaning forward, drove it up
to the head in the sergeant's leg. A yell
that froze the blood of all who heard it,
that made the hair of the jury stand on
end and the judges wig almost fall OFF,
rang through the court.
by Joye, it's the wrong leg! 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

To Judge the Age of Lace.

In fixing the approximate date of
any given piece of lace it is well to re-
member that machine made thread was
not used till after the beginning of the
eighteenth century. Before that time
the threads ran in lengths of about
twenty inches, for the worker could
stretch no farther than her distaff and
had to break off and join again, so that
after unraveling some twenty-five
inches of thread no joint is found the
lace is surely after the introduction Of
machine made thread. The brides
ornee" alone are enough to go by. In
the fifteenth century the bar had only
knot or a dot as ornament, in the
sixteenth a double or single loop and
in the seventeenth a star. The edging
also 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
zenith century one is more elaborate,
