(• OLD HILL'S PHILOSOPHY. \ "I ain't over fond o' new-fangled notions myseii, you Know, Jimmy, my iau,' reuiarkeu oiu iiili e*nuui to ms s-scoud in. uuiiimuu, " but lor tne iiie o' me i. want see way a, man shouidn t be wimn' to me a lutie trouble so as to save nimseif a lot." . " Weil, wuat's up now.-" asked Jimmy, who guessed that nis old lortman nact a case in point. ' _, 'i. was just a-goln' to tell you - . There s that ciiap, Joe Wnkuis. He's one o' tne uest ana most steady-gom' i'euers you'll find in a day's march, but ne ain't got a Biugie iftea o' nla own. - He'll go me isiu* about witii an old spanner with jawa as iuu o' notcuea as an aaigator's is full o' teeth- He don't care if it is a size or so too large for tne nut, nor what the nut looks like when he's done witn it—not ho! Why, the very tuought o' asm an adjustable spanner would worry poor Joe. Sure as your name's Jimm. Davis, souiebouy giv' him that oid spanner . o' his wnen he were a nipper—shoulun wonder if he cut his teeth witn it!—an' I reckon he'll go on usin' it till uie undertaker calls for mm-spaiiner an all. , . , ' "Just the same way about packin them steam joints. He's always usin' some stun— I forget the name o' it-looks like brown paper and oil; an' as fart as he repacks one joint on one side o' the shop, another one gives out t'other side, an' so he goes on day alter day, packin' and (trumblin ', grumblin and packin', an' never a thought o' using nothln' else. I'll bet yeu a sovereign to a farthin' cake that his mother plastered a bit 6' oiled paper on to him when he grazed his knee as a, kiddie, an' he's never heard o nothin' better for joints since"Only t'other day I sent along to John Chambers' for a sample piece o' packin' which I heard Tom Minns, old Wright's engineer, talkin' about. You can bet your life what Tom uses is Al in the trouble-savin' line: Tom likes his work easy. Well, as I was sayin', I got a bit. o' this stuff, an', crickey! it was tough—looked an* felt for all the world like leather. Well, I takes it to Joe. an* says I. 'Look lure. Joe, here's somethin' to save you trouble.' He looks at it an' says, 'What's it for?' I tells him. an' then he takes his knife out o' his pocket an' Btarts sawin" away at the stuff Presently he turns

round to me, 'Tain't no good, guv nor, can t cut it.' an' with that he hands it back. Well, I told him he'd GOT to use it anyway, and after a lot o' growlin' he sharpened up his ! old jack-knife an' got the ring cut out. "Well, he fixed it in the most troublesome joint we had in the shop, an' its gone all right up till now. It's just a-daVni si' 'on the old crook that that joint ain't given him trouble for ' days an' doesn't look likely to do .so, an I reckon, some day or other, he will be comin' to me askin' for more. It takes a week or two, you know, for a fresh idea to fit itself into old Joe's brain." "And what did you sty was the name of that packing?" asked Jimmy Davis. " I didn't say what its name was, replied old Bill. " but I remember it was stamped all . over with the word "XT LI E IT ," Sole Agents: JOHN CHAMBERS AND SON. Fort-street. TTiO VOU WANT AN T7NGINE?
