ADDITION TO HIS EFFICIENCY
Remember That His Personality
Counts for Much.

He's really very agreeable outside
of business hours" How often we hear
this remark about a certain type Of
man at the head of a large enterprise.
He is the man whose office demeanor
is characterized by the GOODNESS of a
SNOWFALL and the Indifference of a
stone.
In his desire to become efficient and
make every one about him the same
he squeezes every bit of human feel
ing out of his relations with his sub
ordinates and becomes a part of a
working system, as dehumanized as
his filing system or his adding ma
chine or the typewriter which his
stenopapher manipulates. During Of
fee hours he is a machine which die
tates letters, looks over reports and
develops efficiency. But-"he's really
very agreeable outside of business
hours"
This man needs TO know that, his
ability being efficient, he becomes
more efficient as he becomes more hu-
man, just as a machine is more eff
cient the more machine-like it be-
comes. He needs to learn that the
man at the head of big concern

Beauty Rules for Summer.

Avoid heavy and very rich meals,
light and digestible fare is required,
consisting chiefly of fish, eggs, poul-
try, salads, cheese and fruit, sweets
made with milk, cream and eggs, and
SO on, mostly cold, though too many
ices should not be taken. They are
responsible for most summer mala-
dies. Iced drinks should also be taken
in moderation; and the refreshing
lemonade or cups" made with light
wines, hook, moselle or with fruit
sirups, are best. If spirits are taken
at all it should be infrequently.
The face should only be washed
with soap and water last thing at
night, but it is very refreshing to
spray it and the back frequently with
rose or elder-fower water to which
simple tinctuTe of benzoin has been
added, drop by drop, in the proportion
of one teaspoonful of the tincture to
a half pint of rose water. Dry with a
soft handkerchief, then apply little
non-fatty face cream, smooth this Off
with the handkerchief and dust on a
little good powder. The face wash
mentioned is wonderfully cleansing,
and, with the cream, provides a great
protection against freckles and SUM
burn.

RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN INDIA
Influence of the West Is Being Strong
iy Felt Throughout the
Country.

midas religious and social progress
is undergoing important reshapement.
Caste is loosening. Adherents of Hin
daism are divided at present into three
camps; the ceremonalists, or those
who in orthodox faith adhere to the
traditional rites of worship and sacri-
fee to the ancient gods; the reform
lists, who, holding to the main ten
cts of Hinduism, are breaking away
from caste and idolatry, and the edu-
Gated Hindus. whose views are being
highly colored by influences from the
West and whose religion, as far as any
one can perceive, is often little more
than a name.
Christianity is adding not less than
1000.0O0 converts during the past
year. but almost entirely from the low

JapaneSs Theater.

To a foreigner, stage management
in Japan would appear somewhat &c.
centric. When an actor is killed dur
ing the play a man in black rushes on
the stage and holds a large clock be-
fore the supposed corpse, who soon
rises and runs off the stage.
The scenes are never shifted, but
the whole stage reVolves on wheels,
while between the acts the children
among the audience rush behind the
curtain and play until the drum beats
for another act. The performance be-
gins at 10 a. M, and the audience pro-
vision themselves for "a hours, curling
up on mats and smoking the whole
time.
