The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1881-08-19

The latest application of paper is the
adoption of paper plates by some of the
great restaurants and cafes in Berlin.
The innovation was introduced during
the summer of last year by the adven.
turous landlord of much-frequented
open-air restaurant. Every customer
who ordered bread nnd butter, rolls,
cakes, buns, or similar articles, had
them served to him upon little paper
plate, made of light papier-mache,
adorned with pretty border in relief.
and having ut the first glance great
similarity to porcelain. Guests. walters
and hosts were all pleased with the
novelty; it saved the walters many

account Of breakages, which the deftest
and cleverest can scarcely avoid when
he handles hundreds of pieces of crock

his ownership over them, and his GUS

perdv and tho Oxe0.

Summer came, and the city streets
were dry, dusty, and noisy, aud the
bricks made everybody's eyes ache.
So mamma took little Percy, who was
only three years Old, and the rosy, fat
one ear-old baby, and went away in
the steam cars to the green, fresh, cool
sunny country. Grandpa was left all
alone in the still city home, with good
old 'Titia to keep house for him until
the family should come back in the fall.
Well, those who could go to the coun-
try had just as much fun as they could
wish for-sitting out under the trees all
the sunny days, and in the barn, when
the sun was too hot for them to want
him to shine on them.
One day, great aunt Hannah was Civ
ing her nephews and nieces dinner of
corn and beans, and apples and cream,
and nice bread and butter, and they all
sat at the table long time, talking and
laughing, and enjoying themselves.
All at once little mamma said, "Why.
where's Percy?" and sprang up, and ran
to the side-door, which opened on to the
green.
No Percy was to be seen there so all
began to hunt through the sitting room,
even through the parlor (where he never
played). out in the kitchen. farther out
through the long wood shed, still farther
out in the carriage house but he was In
none of these places.
The great-aunt Hannah opened The
cupboards, and pulled out the drawers,
as though she expected to find the
"grand-boy rolled up In napkin, and
tucked away in corner.
There was high state of fiutter when
mamma peeped round the edge Of the
open dining-room door, and said, "Come
with me-"
She was so smiling, that every one
knew the search was up; and row OF
tall people and short people, headed 10y
little mamma, and ended by tall aunt
Hannah, streamed out and over the
green, across the road. There they were
stopped, and told by mamma to go
softly and look in one Of the barn
windows.
What did they see? A good load OF
sweet scented hay piled on wide hay
cart, two big oxen yoked to that, stand
ing in the middle OF the barn-foor, with
their two great heads held down very
low.
In front Of them was little chubby
Percy, in his clean white frock, swinging
n tinty pail that would hold n teaspoon
full of berries, in one hand, and with the
