"THAT'S ALL."

"PleabC state to the Court exactly wlia't you did between eight and nine o'clock on Wednesday morning,'' said a Liwycr to' a delicate-looking little voiuan in the witness-box. "Well," she said, after a moment's reection, "1 washed my two children and got them ready for school, and sowed a button on Johnny's coat arid mended a rent in Neflllie's dress. Then ] tidied up my sitting-rooui and made two liede, and watered my plants and glanced over the morning paper. Then 1 dusted my parlour and set things to rights in it, and washed some lamp chimneys and combed my baby's hair and sewed ;i. button on one of ber Jittle shoes; and then I swept my outside steps and brushed and put away the children's Sunday clothes, and wrote a note to Johnny's teacher asking her to excuse him for not being at school 011 Friday. Then 1 fed my canary and cleared oif the breakfast-table and gave the grocer's boy an order, and then 1 sat down and rested a few minutes before tlio clock struck nine. That's all "All!"' said the dazed lawyer. "Excuse me, my lord; 1 must get my b»catli before 1 call the next witness."
