The pond was full of logs, and when the

up the company's track for nearly two
miles, and leaving great heaps Of logs

trouble some years ago to look up the
German record in this line. Among
others he found in the published
works of certain Teutonic writers
the following curious examples:

Etlquette OF a Practical Sort.

A housewife of the east end con-
cluded that the only solution of the
servant girl problem was to teach a
green girl herself. She had had ex-
perience with girls who thought they
knew something, with no success.
Accordingly she engaged a girl from
the country, who professed TO know
nothing, and commenced training
her. One of the new servants duties
was to attend the door and the lady
of the house tried in many ways to
impress upon her mind the necessity
of taking tray on salver with her
when she answered the bell to re-
ceive cards, letters, etc, During the
afternoon the bell rang and shortly
afterward the servant appeared at
her mistress door saying, IF you
please, maam, the vegetable man is
at the door and wants TO know if you
want any good potatoes. The lady
looked up from her sewing and then
fell into a fit of laughter. The serv-
ant was standing as she had been
taught, holding tho silver tray with
three large potatoes ON it in the most
proper manner. The servants sense
of the fitness of things was evidently
undeveloped. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
