Portoauene Hotel Clock«.
It Is the fashion for Portuguese
clocks to strike the hour twice over.
Heateu only knows why, for certainly
the people are not so keen about the
profitable use of their time that they
require to be reminded thus of its
flight. The habit Is apt to be irritating,
especially in the night, when your bed,
like euough a straw mattress and a
bran pillow, chances to be near one of
these monsters which dings Its four
and twenty strokes at midnight, with
* pause between the dozens which
merely stimulates expectation. If there
are five clocks In the establishment, all
with sonorous works--and the supitosl-
tlon is reasonable—they will, of course,
differ widely, so that twenty-four may
be striking, with Intervals, during a
maddening half hour.
You may happen to want to know
badly which one of the monsters Is the
least mendacious, and the bells at your
bed bead communicate with two serv
ants, one a Gallego and the other a
Portuguese. In such a case ring for the
despised stranger without hesitation.
He will be with you In a minute, fresh
and smiling, though half nnked. and
If he distrusts bis own judgment about
the clocks he will not mind saying so
and hasten to awaken the landlord
himself rather than that you should
remain In doubt.
