This table must depend a great deal on the sort of table kept by the
master of the house in which the servant resides. As a general rule, the
dripping admits of subtraction, and by calculating how many times the
candle-box will go into the kitchen-stuff, a fair average may be arrived
at. It must also be borne in mind, that as the water is to the milk, so
is the beer-money. In families where the cupboard is left open, it
follows frequently, that as the tea is to the sugar, so is the servant
at both of them.
THINGS WHICH CAN BE MUCH BETTER CONCEIVED
THAN DESCRIBED.

on the mantel-piece.
A woman discovering her first grey hair.
Putting the lighted end of a cigar into your mouth.
