The, Spaniard never does TODAY
what he csn put off till to- morrow.
He has no idea of the value of time,
ana cannot understand why foreign
ers should make such fuss about
punctuality in keeping engagements.
Boys and girls come lettering into
school hours after the appointed
time, and the teachers say nothing,

With the slcepy atmosphere of Spain.
With ordinary trains there is half
hours rest at every station--big or
little, passengers or none-to recov-
er breath after travelling so fast the
previous half hour. The driver must
get down to stretch his limbs and
have chat with bis friends. The
guard has to gather the news of the
place. and perhaps takes stroll out
side the a.stion to see if there is any
distant traveller in Wow who may
perchance DO going on, and who in
that case may be waited for. The
passengers descend to have glass
of water, or to replenish their stock
of cigcrcttes and matches. THERE'S
no fear of their being left behind.
When 1t is considered time to move
on again, first one bell is rung (to
which nobody pays any attention);
than another bell; then horn blows
and il is only when you hear the
steam whistle that you have got
positively the last call.
