THE EFFICIENCY TEST.

At the end Of the Efficiency Associa-
tons recent convention in New York.
Lorimer r. Carstars. AN efficiency en-
gineer OF Grand Rapids, said to a group Of
reporters:
The new science Of efficiency is accom-
plishing miracles. Statesmen chosen BY
efficiency standards now sell two hundred
or three hundred times as much az sales
men used TO do.
efficiency teaches the employer TO

shoes his coat his eyes the color OF his
hair, and so forth oh. it's wonderful
science.

COLD SlCENCES.

Butler GlaenZer, the poet and essayist,
described at the Players the difference
between the New York and London club.
THE New York club" he said. is re-
markable for its conversations. which are
aften of great depth and brilliance. The
London club IL remarkable for it's silences,
its cold silences.
THE playwright Barrie tells story
about the Athen@um. in Pail Mall Barrie
frequented the AthenWum long time
without exchanging a syllable with a
single fellow member and then. one after
noon. overcome with loneliness over his
tea in the library, he ventured 10 address
a remark upon the weather to an old TEL

Times.
But the old fellow. instead OF answer
ing Barrie's remark. put down The
Times. drew forth his handkerchief and
burst into sobs.

THE old fellow looked at Barrie ten

THE EUGENlsT'S SHOE.

Cosmo Hamilton, the young English
writer, was talking in New York about
eugenics

genists even think that the reasons FOR
divorce need not be given.
Such eugenists are like the old Roman
who invented the phrase, where the shoe

This old Roman was reprOached by MS
friends for divorcing his wife. They could
see no fault in her, they said. They
asked holly what he wanted 10 go and
divorce her for.
The old Roman. by way Of answer,
smiled and took off his shoe.
Look at it, he said, holding it up
and turning it about. 1T seems a good
shoe, doesn't it? You can't find anything
wrong with it, can you? And yet
The old Roman here frowned impress

And yet he said, none Of you can
