ONE LIGHT THAT NEVER FAILS.
Tiny Gas Jet Whose Flame Us Com

A Tiny Gas jet Whose Flame Us Com
tinuous Year In and Year Ont.
Everyone must recognize the beauty
and many advantages possessed by the.
electric light, but, perhaps, few have
thought of the discoInforts to which q
large part of the populations would be
put if this most modern and perfect
illuminant were to supersede all the
older forms in use.
An excellent example of this is to be
found in the large workroom of the re-
porters i'm the New York Sun office. In
this room, says the paper, are scores of
incandescent electric lamps, and no one
lacks light, but at an odd corner there
is always burning one little gas jet,
whose light is insignificant, but dearer
to the men who work about it than all
the electric lights in the room. Day
and night, year in and year out, this
gas jet burns with a flame not more
than half am inch high, and quarter of
an inch broad, and day and night it is
the Mecca of every man who resorts to
tobacco smoking to sooth his nerves. or
kill idle moments. Everybody knows
where to find light for cigar, pipe, or
cigarette, but this was not true years
ago when the electric lights took the
place of the old gas Jets which lit the
room. With these open lights in pro-
fusion no one had ever found it neces-
sary to keep stock of matches at baud
for starting a smoke. For many day
and night after the electric lights were
established there were great hunts
through the office for matches, and then
finally it became the fixed custom to
keep gas light going at corner near
the sporting desk to accommodate the

Tin. to NobIcmen's Servants.

In old times to dine with a nobleman
cost more in tips to the servants than
n club dinner. James Payne relates
that Lord Poor, well-ramed Irish peer.
excused himself from dining with the
duke of Ormund upon the ground that
he could not afford it. "lf you vii.
give me the guinea / have TO pay your
cook (fancyD l will ccme as often as
you choose to ask me-" which was ac-
cordingly done. The duke, however,
had not the pluck to stop the practice.
Lord Taafe, general office in the Aus
trian service, did what he could. He al
ways attended his guests to the door;
when they put their hands into their
pockets he said: "No, if you do give il,
give it to me, for it was / who paid for
your dinner" To Sir Timothy Waldo
must be given the credit of putting an
end to the monstrous practice. After
dinner with the duke of Newcastle, he
put a crown into the cooks hand. II
