Obeying Instructions.

Mrs. Archer had a new maid from Sweden, willing and vigorous, but extremely ignorant in many ways. She had never seen a refrigerator before, and her mistress, after initiating her into the mysteries, instructed her never to leave anything old or left over in the icebox, but to keep the refrig erator perfectly clean and fresh by throwing away the old things every morning. On the following morning Mrs. Archer. looking out of the- window, noticed something peculiar in the yard. Calling the maid, she said: “Hilda, what is that out in the yard, and how did it get there?" With her face beaming with pride, the Swede replied: "That bane old ice, ma’am, left over from yesterday. I t’rew it away lak you tol’ me.”—Boston Herald.
