Pampered Pets and Servants.

1t might be thought that the subject Of
the following description could dwell only
In some ones fancy, but it is reliably stat
cd that she lives in q London suburb. She
has, it appears, parlor maid, housemaid
and q cook, each Of whom has a special
serving woman to wait on her. These
three subservants do not live in the house,
but come punctually every morning at z
o'clock to prepare an early meal for the
fortunate domestics. They carry this meal
TO the rooms of the cook, the housemaid
and the parlor maid, and after giving it to
them on neat little trays proceed to make
the kitchen and servants hall ready for
theiv three mistresses.
But even the servants are not quite so
much pampered as the pet animals of the
house. A favorite dog, lately deceased,
was taught to refuse any midday meal ex-
cept fresh roast chicken. When his dog
ships health began to fail, his fond mis-
tress had her bed made on the floor, SO
that she could attend to his wants. When
he died, he was buried in shroud Of pale
blue satin and silver covered with white
flowers, and in his memory every one in
the house, even the serving women, re-
ceived pin set with precious stones. A
large family Of cats resides In the garden
at the back Of the house, where they live
luxurious lives, daily receiving all the
dainties of the season. New York Sun.
