Servants Abroad.

Olive Logan writes from Cardiff, Wales, TO
the Graphic, letter from which we quote as
follows:
Part OF the delights OF this British home
come from the presence of skillful aud re-
specuul servants. It constantly surprises
me TO hear from the lips OF these neat and
pretty maids phrases with which / am onIy
familiar because have read them In fiction
or heard them spoken In plays IalVays
looked upon these phrases as part OF the
glamour OF the romance; / never realized
that they were ever made use of by "sure-
enough" servants. Now tell me, would not
any body be surprised IL this very evening a
little maiden attired In clean Gallo dress
which is reiolent with the odor OF the sweet
grass upon which Ii lay when IL was laun-
dered, and tiny apron and little bit of
lace as big as the palm OF her hand on ner
shining hair, should come up TO the room
door, and after q modest rap should say, in
low and respectful voice. eli you please, sir,
evening one should hear her put to the be-
wildered wife SO astounding question as
this: "PIease, ma'am, shall blacken the
masters mas g, boots in the morning against he
This very little maiden of whom 1 speak
would be spoiled in three months in New
York. Why? Why, because the work IN
our great scattering houses Is not all under
her hand. Because the mistress is not often
enough at her side to oversee; because she is
lonely, the American mistress not under
standing exactly how TO treat her as a hum
BILE friend-not as al equal, nor yet as q serf
Because the mistress frequently sets her q
OaO example Dy ner own unsuitable passion
for dress and daily parade of hours in the
street. The mind OF ignorance is very recep-
tive, especially ofideas which are pernicious.
III mist ess is imprudent the maid will pro-
badly be criminal. No proverb truer than
"Like master like man."
Striking as is to my American eyes the ex-
cellence OF the British servant maid, 1t seems
she has greatly deferiorated. In former
years she wa much better. English ladies
say they know not what has come to the
servants to SO change them for the worse.
Formerly 1t WIS girls pride TO enter good
place on first going out 10 service and stay
there till she died. Ifshe changed IL must be
lor some potent reason: death ia the family,
disaster, retrenchment 1t used to be sus-
picfous circumstance that servant had
left place. Masters not recognizing the
possibility Of anything being wrong with a
place, the natural inference was that some
thing must be wrong with the servant. Now,
say ladies, servants take upon themselves TO
leave place merely because this or that In
the house or habits OF the family is not TO
their liking!

MURDER BY FIVE MASKED BURGLARS
The residence Of James Mcintyre near Ar

nVe masked men. Daring a struggle with
two OF the men, Mr.. Mcintyre was murdered

everything valuable. Soon after the burg
lars LEFT the house, John Mcintyre, tue son
OF me murdered man, freed himself, and
upon them, he fired and shot one, whom the
others picked mp and carried away. Up 70
last accounts the burglars who are believed
tested that section of country for some Time
had eluded arrest.
