British Monarch Deliberately Has
Watch Set Ahead-Father Addicted
to Same Habit.

London Modern human beings
have an extraordinary prediction for
fast" time.
Even the late king gave way to this
little weakness, and every timepiece,
including the church clock at Sand
bingham, was kept deliberately half an
hour fast. This custom, In fact, still
is kept up by King George.
This fast" time habit is, in the opin-
ion of a well known medical man, a
form of self deception and "a praise
worthy, but often unconscious, attempt
to rectify a very common fault--un-
punctuality."
THE number of clocks and watches
In England that are kept fast is ex-
traordinary," he said. "A slow watch
or clock is uncommon, and usually the
result of an accident. But everywhere
fast time is to be seen-outside rail-
way stations, in railway refreshment
rooms, in public-houses, and in private
residences.
In my opinion the psychology of
this habit is as follows" continued the
doctor. "A man distrusts his ability to
be punctual, and to rectify this adj
vances his watch, or allows 1t to re-
main fast, deluding himself that after
a short time he will have forgotten
that his watch is fast, and SO will un-
Willingly be punctual.

For some little time my spluttering
relative sat dumbfounded in about two

However, with characteristic good

his pockets and declared that it was
just the kind of exercise he needed.

Martha, because she was very much
opposed to his going in bathing on &C

him to change his clothes.

Captain jackson Tells of Sailing Ship
Days and of Fierce Storms That
Swept Decks of Craft He
Commanded.

COMMUNICATING the close of his
Observation-Disclosures year, Capt.
Daniel Jackson gazed mournfully
across the rain-swept gardens of the
footing home for the aged as he
compared the gale then raging, with
the hundreds he experienced. in the
days when men went to sea in ships
Of wood. Strangely enough it was the
present storm that had brought him
his sorrow
It's only a little capful of wind"
he said, Just enough to make good
craft swing along like war horse.
But it's brought me more trouble than
any gale that has blown since l made
my first voyage to Archangel. more
than ninety-three years ago. It's only
a little capful, yet it stayed me from
performing the last service my dear
sister Maria will ask of me.
She had sent me message from
the Wandsworth infirmary, saying that
she wanted to see me very, very
soon, because she had something to
tell me. So buttoned up my coat on
Wednesday afternoon and started to
walk over there, but the little capful
was too much for me and the rain
swept into my eyes. Never mind
said, I shall see her tomorrow Next
morning they told me Maria was
dead!"
Tears rolled from the tired old eyes
as Captain Jackson's thin, twisted
fingers beat upon the window pane,
and it was many minutes before an
other word escaped him. He told of

he had skippered when a boy of nine

Keeps His Tin1epiece Fast

Again, a man acquires sort of sub
conscious feeling that he could never
hope to be punctual unless his watch
were fast. He feels that he can keep
up to time when he is calculating by
a fast watch, but never If he has to
calculate by correct watch"
Said one man: Il always keep my
watch anything from five to
twenty minutes-as am terrified that
it may get slow should put it back to
the right time"
Another: my watch always gains
a few seconds day, and let it. go on
gaining for about month or so. Then
| put it back to the right time. Why
don't always try to keep it right? Be
cause it is too much bother, and be-
cause | have grown accustomed to
having it fast and feel strange when
it is right"
A we'll known business man said
that he always kept his watch exactly
two minutes fast, first, because it had
a tendency to lose, and, second, be-
cause it made for greater punctuality
and avoided the risk of missing trains
by half a minute or so. Most business
men of his acquaintance did similarly,
he added.
The secretary of the Magneta Time
company, limited, which has control Of
10000 clocks in the United Kingdom,
said that In his experience almost
every one preferred to keep their
clocks, fast and requested that they
should be set for this purpose.
