They Take Their Time.

The English are a. much less nervous,
more even tempered, patient people
than we, and their work-folk give
them plenty of opportunity to practice
these virtues The service in the large
department stores is like that at home
brisk, prompt and ready to meet any
want-but it is very different in the
smaller shops. Wherever men tinker,
mend, make, or trade in small way.
they are maddening to deal with. There
is an American woman in London
who, after repeated disappointments, at
last got a plumber into her house to
look at leaking pipe She turned
the key in the door and pocketed it.
Now" said she, I've got you here
at last, and I mean to have you do
this work. You can send for tools and
help by one of my maids, but out of
this house you won't go until this pipe
is repaired" 1t seems to me that the
cobblers and members of every sort are
always annoyed by call for their
services. They do not resent it; they
are polite enough. But they adopt a
troubled expression of face, and put
you off day or a week, and talk of
being dreadfully rushed though you
may have come upon them smoking
and reading paper in the doorway.
1t Is that they are slow and easy
going, and dislike being hurried. But
one comes in time to be used to their
delays. There even comes a time when

the door upon him and went out.
The poor speak like that. Unknow-
ingly though it may be. they have kept
true sense of the weight and value of
words.
A Scottish farmer who had grown
to be very old put the wisdom of a
lifetime into one sentence He had
been listening to the story of strong
young heart beside him; and Ma
dearie," he said very quietly, there's
no contending."
| But this use of the fine old simple
words of our language can be funny as
! we'll as grand. This was in the cot
| tage of an old woman who lay very i'll,
and whose daughter-in-law came on a
visit to nurse her:
| wei, I'm here till next Tuesday,
MN, but after that 1 must go. l don't
know who'll look after mother, I'm
sure, beyond Sarah, and she can't STAY
more'n week. You see, I leave five
behind me, and they're all males. My
husband, two dodgers, and m sons.
And you see, being all males, it's not as
| If there was one among them as can
do anything, like, for themselves. So
that's where it is. And I must get
home, or I'd stay, and welcome
| Such unwilling irony, too, as was in
this woman's view of man, and the
more scathing because it was so simply
said.
| l have touched before in these papers
OH epitaphs, and the real or forced feel
| ing they convey. But for beauty OF
moderation this epitaph of Scottish
shepherd on his dog leads all the rest.
The collies are trained to fetch the
sheep from the hills where they have
been wandering often for days. II
there are some missing, There's three
wantin'," the man says, or There
/ twa wantin'," as the case may be, and
the dog watching the wave of his mas
| ters hand from a distance, and heark-
ening to his voice, goes off again and
again in search till the flock is found
complete.
| On a certain farm there was dog,
above his kind, sagacious and true.
And when he came to die, the shepherd
put just these words over his grave,
There's yin wantin. London Out

The Matchless Gas Lighting syndi-
cate of London now have on exhibition
self-lighting gas burner, which is
said to perform perfectly the duties
expected of it. 1t is described as fol-
lows:
LAS in previous devices of the same
kind, the catalytic properties of spon-
gy platinum are employed to effect the
actual ignition, the novelty in the ap-
paratus on view consisting in an auto
matte bye-pass valve. On turning on
the tap to the burner, the gas, in the
first instance, flows through this bye
pass to a small jet, through which 1t
escapes and impinges on a particle of
spongy platinum. The latter quickly
ignites the escaping jet, and the flame
thus produced heats wire connected
by suitable linkages with the bye-pass
valve in such way that as the wire
expands the bypass closes, opening at
the same time a passage to the main
jet. The lighting device is intended,
in the main, for use with incandescent
burners, but is also fitted to the ordi-
nary"
