Dishonest Servants.

The London Evening News, in an
article on the dishonesty Of servants
who have long served in old houses,
cites the case Of an aged woman who
died in a suburb Of London twenty
years ago. She had been continuous
ly in service in a great family for half
a century and had appropriated all
kinds Of property, among which was a
picture which was recovered by the
heir Of the house and sold to America
for $4,000. The News asks: How
is it to be accounted for that a fine
Rubens should be found decorating
the trim 'parlor' of a farmhouse in
Lincolnshire; curtains embroidered
by Mary Queen of Scots, a tiny cot
tage in Norfolk, and a Marquetierie
bureau, from the collection at Wind
sor castle, an obscure vicarage in
Shropshire? That a bundle of linen,
each piece Of which is marked with
the monogram of Charles l. was dis
posed of some few years ago at a
local sale in the west Of England is
less difficult to explain-Cromwell, to-
gether with members of his family
frequently visited the house from
which the sheets came, and possibly
brought them from one Of the royal
palaces"

Old English Furniture.

That fine old furniture is yet found
in Great Britain in many unexpected
places is said to be largely due to the
stirring up Of the country that was
given by the great exhibition at Lon
don Of 1851. This was soon after the
development of the railway system in
England. and there flocked to Lon
don a large number Of squires and
their wives. A new world had opened to
the country danes. The new things
had wonderful fascination for them.
On returning home they got rid Of
much Of their old furniture and
bought new. Much Of the old furni-
ture found its way to second hand
shops and was sold to poor folk, who
could not afford to buy new. This
accounts for the finding today Of much
good old furniture in small houses i,
provincial towns and among country
people.
