He Could Wield an Ax.
The skill of the old Maine shipbuild
ers in the use of the adz and broadax
was wonderful. One old time yarn Is
of a enrpenter who applied very drunk
t a shipyard for employment In or
der to have n little fun with hlra the
foreman set him In give n proof of his
skill liy hewing out a wooden holt with
no chopping block hut u stone. The
arpentei' accomplished his illlHcult
usk without murring the keen edge f
he uroadax and showed the foreman
neatly made bolt. Then ho brought
the ax down with a terrific plow that
shattered its edge upon the stoue. "1
can hew fust rate on your chopping
block," he hiccoughed, "but I'll be
blamed if 1 can mukc the ax stick In
it when I git through." The story runs
that the foreman lost uo time in em
ploying such a workman.

Judges' Wigs.
The wig Is only worn by English bar
risters to give them a stern. Judicial
appearance, and no one can say that
It falls iu tuis respect. The custom
wns originated by a French Judge in
the seventeenth century when, happen
ing to don a unirquls' wig one day, be
found It gave him such n stem and
dignified appearance that he decided to
get one for himself aud wear It at all
limes in court. This he ulil, and tlie
result was so satisfactory from a legal
poiut of view that not only Judges, but
barristers also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.- 1-omlon Graphic.
