WHAT IT WAS.

A certain lawyer was trying to explain what a miracle was, but the witness could not see it, so he resorted to illustration and said: “If a man should fall from a throestorey window, striking his head on a stone pavement, then get up and walk away, what would it be?” “That would be an accident,” quietly remarked the witness. “Well, if the same man should fall the next day from the same window striking his head on the pavement, and walk away unhurt, what would it be?” “That would be a coincid nee,” said the witness. The lawyer smiled, and then said, with the complacency of one sure of his victory :“Aml if the third day Ute same man should fall from the same thrcc-st orey window on the same pavement, and strike his head, and the n rise and wait o(V, what would you call that?” “The same man?” “Yes.” “The same window?” “Yes,” ' \nd fall on the same pavement 0 ” “Yes.” “i should call it a habit.”
