AS TO GERMAN AFFABILITY.
Brusque Manners and Short Speech
Find Scant Tolerance in the
FatherInnd.

Hearty greetings to the Frau DR..
F. from the Frau Prof. VI, who
hopes that the gracious Frau Doctor
and her family are all well, and
would the gracious Frau Doctor
kindly tell the Frau Professor how
many pounds of goose feathers go to
a pair of pillows?"
Something after this stately fashion
does a housemaid in Germany who
prides herself on her good manners
deliver a message from her mistress.
This stilted language takes time, but
short speech and a brusque manner
find scant tolerance in the fatherland,
says Rachael Carew, in the Pilgrim.
The street car conductor knows this,
and he civilly touches his hat as he
asks his fare, and if, perchance, you
have given him a penny over the
amount, he will set you down at your
station with a friendly adieu!
Enter any little knick-knack shop to
buy perhaps paper of needles, and
pleasant smile and good-day will
greet you from the busy employees.
However trif1ing your purchase. the
honor of your gracious patronage is
begged for a future occasion, and ev-
eryone in the shop is for the moment
your obeGient servant.

Ancient Legal Statute.

The provision of the Virginia code
exempting from service on the grand
jury the owner or occupier of grist-
mill, is an interesting example of a
law which has been allowed to remain
on the statute book long after its use
fulness and the condition that called
it into being have ceased to exist. At
tention has been directed to it by rea-
son of the fact that some days ago a
citizen of Norfolk claimed the benefit
of this eXemption-the first time it has
been claimed, according to reports, in
many years. When the statute was
passed, serious inconvenience to the
citizens of the surrounding country
might have arisen as a result Of sum
moning a mill owner from his work,
but the mill owned is no longer so i'm
