The Wrong Leg.

There was an eminent sergeant at law
some years ago who had a cork leg
that was triumph of artistic decep-
ton. None but his intimates knew for
certain which was the real and which
was the sham limb 4 wild young wag
of the .'outer bar" who knew the ser
geant pretty well. once thought to util-
ize this knowledge of the sergeant's Sc
cret 10 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 sovereign
III 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 a most ex-
traordinary man in that way"
This was more than the greenhorn
could swallow, so he took the bet. The
wag took a 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 Jove. 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

Fnrnitnre Polish.

A recipe for very superior furni-
ture polish given by a dealer in musical
instruments to a housewife as the
cause for the shining surfaces of the
pianos in his rooms consists of four
tablespoonfuls of sweet oil. four table
spoonfuls of turpentine, a teaspoonful
of lemon juice and ten drops of house
hold ammonia This polish must be
thoroughly shaken before using and APP
piled with an old flannel or silk cloth.
Rub briskly and thoroughly, which is
at least a third of the merit of all pol
ishes. Use a second cloth to rub the
mixture into the grain of the wood and
a third for the final polish

Eggs of Crabs md Lobsters.

Crabs and Holsters are hatchedsfrom
eggs, resembling upon birth nothing so
much as the animalcul9 shown by the
microscope in drop of ditch water.
They are as unlike the shelltish they
are to become in mature life as grub
Is unlike a butterfly. In the case of
the crab the egg clusters are attached
beneath the animal after eXtrusion.
while with the lobster they become
fastened to the tail. which, by its fan
