LunchtIme In San Francisco.

For q year wholesale house in San
Francisco has experimental with the
plan of closing its place Of business
each day from ~ to o'clock, during
which hour all the employees obtain
their MONDAY meal. The arrangement
was found to have many advantages
over the old way of permitting the
clerks to go to luncheon by relays and
it has SO commended itself to other
wholesalers there that movement Is
on foot to make the plan general.
In most of the large houses the first
relay goes to lunch at IL o'clock. and
generally it is we'll ON into the after
noon before the last Of the clerks get
chance to get away from their work for
the midday meal. The managers OF the
houses say that the working forces of
the stores are demoralized for at least,
say, three hours each day on account OF
the lunch hour system now in vogue.
With the proposed system the store
would be closed for an hour every day.

A CURIOUS CURE.
Tho Healing Power of Light, Sun and Air
Applied.

We had come TO Veldes, in the Julian
Alps, for a month as the paying guests
among a hundred others Of man who
for 80 years past has been preaching
not altogether in the wilderness-the
healing power Of light, sun and air ap-
piled to the body Of man as God made
it, The tailor's art, he insists, is anti
hygienic, a source of moral and physical
degradation. There may be occasions
for simple covering, but there are equal
". in the interests of wholesomeness
and vitality, occasions for absence Of
clothing.
In accordance with the rules of the
game therefore we rose every morning
soon after and, having walked, my
friend and 1 to the Hill of Men, our
wives to the Hill of Women, in the
scantiest clothing consistent with what
is called decency, we forthwith spent
the early hours wandering or reclining
in sun or shadow, jumping, digging or
reading, according to temperament, and
breakfasting ON the milk, bread and
honey we had brought with us from the
hut.
After our strange air bath on the top
of the hill we used to walk back, cloth
ed. to another strange bath at the bot
tom, where for the best part of an hour
we lay out on a slanting roof bare, save
for our heads, to the full blaze of the
sun. Then for 90 minutes by the clock
we were swathed tight in our blankets
and then taken indoors, plunged into a
tub of tepid water and massaged by ex-
pert attendants. By the time we got
back on our bare-and not infrequently
tender-feet to the huts we were quite
ready for the simple vegetarian midday
meal that awaited us under the huge
common dining room.
The virtue Of strenuous laziness dur
ing the healing time being also sternly
inoulcated by the healer, the afternoon
generally opened with delicious sleep,
followed at the option of the individual
by either a modified repetition Of the
mornings airing and summing or by a
lazy stroll with camera or book. Soon
after the evening meal of soup vege-
tables and sweets was over, and by g.
coffee, tobacco and chatter having
achieved their purpose-we were gen
orally sleeping our Adamic sleep. On
the nights when, for the purposes OF
the cure, the body or some part OF 1t
was "packed" in a cold water bandage
dreaming was sometimes delayed, bnt
if that particular part Of the treatment
was distasteful you were free man as
soon as the attendant back was turned.
The first and every subsequent night OF
our stay we spent upon the edge of the
lake within few feet OF the water in a
couple of rough wooden huts without
fronts-with some forebodings, 1t must
be confessed, although 1t was in Au-
gust, but as we afterward found with
only good effects. Strand Magazine.

Russia's Millions.

The census of 1874 gave the number
of Russians as 10000. 900. In l762
there were 90, 900, 900. In 1896, chiefly
owing to the Polish conquests of Gather

land account for the gain Of 1900, 600
indicated by the census Of 1909. The
prodigious increase in the Russian popu-
lation, due simply to the excess of births
over deaths, commenced after this date.
Without any important change in the
