A tall, practical Englishman went I ove?" to "the States" the other day from London. He took lodgings at an inn in a small village, which shall be nameless. He had (linner, and among those who sat at the table with him was the waiting maid, whom be designated as "servant," but he received an indignast correc tion front the landlord. "We call our servants, sir, 'helps.' Tltey are not oppressed; they are not Russian serfs." "All right," said the Britisher; "I shall remember. ' And he did, for in the morning he awoke the whole house by calling out at the top of his voice, which was like the tearing of a strong rag: "Help, help! Water, water!" In an instant every person equal to the task rushed into his room with a pall of water. "I am much obliged to you, I am sure," he said, "but I don't want so much water, you know. I only want enough to shave with." "Shave with!" said the landlord. "What did you mean by calling: 'Help! Water?' We thought the house was adre." "You told me to call the servant 'help,' and I did. Did you think I would cry 'water!' when I meant fire?" The explanation, it would seem, was satisfactory, and he can call the servants "servants" as much as ho likes at that place now.

"I have seen lt a good many times when l am going around In the course of my work Take for in stance a new and highly stiff type writer, owned by a man ol' nervous temperament and quick action. "A man like that will have the mat hine working in a short time so that lt will lit in with his character istic action. The sort of a man of whom one speaks Inevitably as dash ing off a letter is the kind I moan. "He'll get the typewriter going for him so that it cannot print slowly. lt will carry loss vllatablo writers along with lt when they use the ma chine by chance." "Then, again. If a man has the habit of writing very slowly, perhaps witli a heavy touch, it won't'' take long before the machine will begin to adapt itself lo lils customs. Some of those machines cannot be made to do their work sure according to the scheine by which they have been I rained." "lt's all very well to speak of ma chine-like accuracy, and so on, but machines apparently have their hu man side, because they are ready Imi tators and do their best to fit in wita the peculiarities of those with whom they work."
