PRICKING THE GARTER.

Double a long strap of stiff tape, and wind it up, beginning at the bight, or doubled end. Down into the centre of the coil stick a knife or peg, and show that it is as you please about the strap being pulled off, or remaining pinned at the double. This is done thus :

If the knife be thrust in at A, the pulling the strap by its two loose ends must catch the knife at the double. If at B, it will come freely off.
