Her Memory Was Strengthened.

A woman who hag had a great deal of trouble with her servants also has what she calls a “humorous husband.” The last- table maid this woman hired was a six-foot, auburn-haired Nova Scotian. She was very satisfactory, except for the fact that in setting the table she would invariably omit to place the salt thereon. So one day the head of the house, being weary of ordering the same thing every day, called the girl and said: “Christie, will you get the stepladder?” It was brought into the dining room. “Please put it against the wall and climb up on it. ” The girl, wondering, obeyed, and stood looking down over her shoulder at her employer. “Now, Christie, please look all over the table,” said he, “and see if you can see any salt." The salt was not forgotten again.— Boston Record.
