ere, that whilst Englishmen drink
five times as much tea as coffee,
Americans drink eight times as much
coffee as tea. This, in great meas
ure, is due to the coffee sold in the

also be accounted for by the fact that
Americans are richer than we arc,

uWe have had a good deal of
..o,hle lately with servants, y said
f,aTilv man the other day, particular
- with governesses. There seems to
~ no place in the American house
Iold for the governess. We have on
~ one child, and it hardly pays to
Eyeve both a governess and a nurse,
nd so we endeavored for time to
at some one who would combine
ne two functions. Finally we adver-
t;sed for nurse with enough educa-
sstion TO teach child the commonest
Tnglish branches. She came, and we
tbanght we found valuable domestic.
last night my wife ran around the
eorner 10 her sisters. She came back
and brought a lot of people with her,
and they all trooped into the parlors'
"The nurse was there She wore a
nlacid smile, which was directed
toward large and cumbersome gem
tIeman who might have been a truck
man or coal-heaver when not in Sc
cietv. and who sat with an appearance
Of a solidity only equaled by one Of
the piers of the East river bridge on a
-susical chair which nay wife's uncle
brought form Paris last fall. 1t is
delicate bit Of furniture, made of banl-
hoo polished like ebony. Lilies,

posite to him was his hostess, the
nurse. She wore a brooch, cameo
which my wife's mother had left her,
and which she priced very highly. 1t
was a charming picture. When my
wife ordered the pair out OF the room
the c0al-heaver went good-naturedly,
but the nurse had her head in the air
This morning OF breakfast she was
on hand to have an explanation with
me, us my wife was TOO i'll TO go down
stars. She began by saying that she
believed lady was lady, no matter
how she was placed. I told her we
didn't object to ladies in general, but
when they assumed the perogatlve of
my wife and took to entertaining
large heavy laborers in the psrlor, we
felt that it was necessary to give the
household a chance. then listened
to a long harangue about ladies and
their rights before l discovered that
the nurse considered herself a gov
erness, despite the plain explanation
I had had with her when she came to
the house. In trying to explain to her
that she was a nurse and not a gov
erness I succeeded in insulting her so
grossly that she gave me notice on
the spot. l paid her up to the end of
the month, and she is by this time, /

to each other behind their fans and
acted silly was quite revelation to
me, But the funniest was in the box
opposite. There sat scraggly girl,
with shoulders like played out plow
