More German Efficiency.

On the last day of April, at II in

many and Austria Hungary skipped an

an hour ahead of the old time. 1t Is
still too early to say with confidence
how the plan will work. Certain dis
advantages viii occur at once to every
thoughtful mediator. Those obstinate
persons whose happiness depends upon
dining late may break into revolt. A
new argument against getting up when
he is called is put within reach Of
every slug-abed in the empire and the
dual monarchy. Yet something may be
urged in behalf of the change. 4 man
in Buda-Pesth says that for Germany
alone ''it is estimated that the saving
in lighting and power viii amount to
ESS, 000, 900 a year. This is a large
sum. Translated into American it comes
to about $40, OO0.0 900. If the meaning
of these figures is not plain it can be
made palmer. Perhaps the most eX-
travagant baby in the United States is
John Jacob Astor, aged not quite four.
He is spending every day $75 and some
pennies. So Germany is expected to
save in a year, by the simple expedient
of setting the clocks forward. enough
to keep the Astor baby in funds for
about 5,S66,666 days. - The New Re
