Success and Business.

81 suppose It is necessary that bust
ness should be transacted; though the
amount of business that does not con-
tribute to anybody's comfort or inn
proyement suggests the query
whether it is not overdone. know
that unremitting attention to business
is the price OF success, but don't
know what success is. There is a
man. who we all know, who built a
house that cost a million dollars,
and furnished it for another like sum,
who does not know anything more
about architecture. or painting, or
books, or history, than he cares for
the rights of those who have not so
much money as he has.-Charles
Dudley Warner.

DIET THAT VARIES LITTLE.

me that it would be better If l did no

and watched the others. At noo we
had an hour and a half, and at four
o'clock Is minutes for lunch. II
may be of interest to some read
ers to know what the German
eats. For his first breakfast he
generally has a milk roll and
a cup OF coffee. The second break
fast is almost always a slice of bread
with lard or goose oil, a piece Of sau-
sage or cheese and a bottle Of beer.
For dinner he has two slices of bread
as above, with a herring or large
green pickle, cheese or sausage and
another bottle of beer. For lunch an
other bottle Of beer and a milk roll.
For supper soup and potatoes. This
is the general variety Of foods we
had for the four months l worked In
that shop, and they had it day in and

mer. 81 have been travelling mostly
through small towns for the last two
months and have had to put up at
some pretty sad hotels. The result is
that / have fallen into the habit of
eating ham and eggs and not much
else, about twice a day and sometimes
three times a day. | lever used to eat
eggs at home and | never cared much
for any salt meats, but I've got the
habit now and | order ham and eggs,
ven when | have an elaborate menu
in front OF me at a big hotel. The
reason is simply that in small towns
ham and eggs are about the only
things you can afford to take a chance
on, 1t is seldom that you get packed
eggs. because fresh eggs are cheap
enough in small places, and then, no
matter how inexperienced the cook
is, he can fry or boil you some eggs.
Then they nearly always have good
ham. Occasionally / add boiled pota-
toes to my small hotel menu, because
they can hardly give you the worst Of
it on them, either, But ham and eggs

FIRST VISIT TO THE COUNTRY.
Humorous Comment Made by Little
Visitors from the City.

The questions and answers of little
boys and girls upon their first visit to
the country are often truly amusing.
One little boy from the city slums was,
with great difficulty, coaxed to go. He
said he heard there were "thrashing
machines" in the country, and he
didn't want to go there to be thrashed.
The same little boy, when asked why
the chickens interested him so great
ly, replied, I've only seen them that's
been peeled in the city" Another lit
tie boy once went to the country on q
visit. Seeing his aunt plucking the
feathers from a chicken that evening,
he asked: "Auntie, do you undress all
the chickens before putting them to
bed?" The COWS were favorites with
Lottie, a little girl Of eight. She begged
to be permitted to milk, and, finding
herself rather unsuccessful, thought
she'd better begin on a calf first"
Lottie also wanted to know if you had
to buy gum for the cows to chew on
and whether the milk that came from
a separator was the same that came
from the cows. She thought it was so
funny, too, that all hens ate with
their noses"

THE DEPARTURE
The Kaiser Wilhelm II. was
scheduled to sail at 8 O'Clock a.
m, but was delayed some by
reason of the large quantity of
mail and t.unks, which are
loaded on the ship by steam.
For some time prior to starting
the scene was an interesting one.
Every thing was motion and
hustle. The din of machinery,
the search by passengers for
their respective quarters and the
jabber of nationalities made
confusion worse cOnfounded. All
classes and conditions were hur-
rying on board, from Frank j.
Gould with his valet and Mrs.
Gould with her maid passing up
one gang way to the greasy
Sheenev without valet and his
ugly vie doing the maid stunt
for herself going up another to
the steerage. The number of pas
sengers on board amounted to
some 1900, of whom 500 were
stored away in the steerage like
sardines. The crew consisted Of
900 men and few women--in all
over 500 persons. When all
on, the great engines began to
move, the brass band played a
lively air and hundreds of visi-
tors on the pier waved hats,
handkerchiefs and American
flags at their departing friends.
Our vessel steamed down the
Hudson, through the bay into the
open sea, pointed its prov to
the northeast and started on its
long journey. OF course, every
true American gazed at the re
ceding land until it faded out of
vision. And it is a solemn mo
ment, indeed, when the land we
love and that contains all that
is near and dear to US on earth
COOS down behind the horizon
For whether we shall ever see it
again is known only to Him
who holds the seas in the hollow
Of his hand and who takes
knowledge OF even the sparrow's S
fall.
We next began to take our
bearings and adjust ourselves 10
new surroundings. Just how
soon we might make a lunch for
some horrible monster under the
water we didn't know. We re-
memhered JOnah--but we
