Her Idea Of Art.

An old gentleman who owned a fine
estate not far from the country seat
of the duke of Devonshire (which is
open to the public when the duke is
there) one day drove with a party OF
friends to this famous residence, TAX
ing with him his housekeeper, Martha,
a good old soul, who had been with
him a great many years.
Arriving at Chatsworth they passed
slowly through room after room OF
almost priceless pictures. But Martha
spoke never word, although it was
evident that she was not missing any
thing. Each and every picture that
her eye lit on underwent most rigid
scrutiny, much to the amusement or
the rest of the party.
At last her master turned to her
and said: well, Martha, what do you
think of it all?"
why" exploded Martha, rapturous-
ly. Il cannot see a speck O. dust any
