INTERFERENCE NOT USE.
A lady was going through the ordinary experience preparatory to the securing of a competent servant to answer the door-bell. After a few days of trial with one, the lady was surprised at the non-appearance of some callers who were expected, and, her attention being attracted to the door bell, she found that its tongue was muffled. Calling the girl, she demanded to know why this had been done, whereupon the latter replied : ‘Well, ma’am, I’d never get done if I didn’t fix it when I’m busy, for it do be ringing all the time.’
