A BUSINESS TRAINING
The Methods That Are Used In
the SohCols of Germany.

That Carry on an Imaginary Trade
With Each Othee-eThe course From
Office Boy to Director.
No one will deny the fact that Ger-
Inane are among be keenest buldnees
wee lu the world. And -undoubtedly
ime of the secrets of their success lies
In the feet that In German schools
bop are taught the practical details
of business. The writer recently ea,
turned from Hamburg after a year's
course of edueation, and an outline ot
the Bast= of training boys in business
may be interesting.
On my first day's attendance I was
banded a time table on which appear-
ed, set out in formidable array, such
subjects as commercial correspond.

rency, political economy and coalmen.
atia cial law, none .of which at the time
conveyed much to me and raised seri-
ous doubts in. my mind as to whether
I should be able to understand and an,
predate -what appeared to be most
abstruse subjects.
At 9 a. m. Sharp on the following day
the course began. prefaced by a con
-
pie of hours' hard study, for the'Ger.
mans are gluttons to work and think
nothing of a twelve hour day. The
first course was called "business train.
Ing." We worked in two spacious
rooms furnished as offices, each room
representing a different business house.
These two firms carried on an imagi-
nary trade with each other, and the
routine adhered to was modeled exact-
ly on the lines of a first class business
establishment
Each firm had a director, and these
two were the most eminent students in
the academy. They had subject to
their management and control a com-
plete staff of correspondents, short-
hand writers, typists, bookkeepers, etc.
The whole was supervised by a .mas-
ter. to whom reference was madeIn
ease of dispute or difficulty. • ,
On making my appearance I was in-
formed that my services were in re-
quest as an office boy. I was some-
what taken back, not to say a little
humiliated. by the lowly position as-
signed to me, and I gave the master te
understand tlsat I considered I was
qualified to occupy a much better post
than that which he had chosen for me,
Be did not seem in the least perturbed
by tny retnarka. but said: "You have
tilready made a mistake -a mistake of
diplomacy. One of the great maxims
of business as taught here is to do
'what you are told. to do it at once ancl.
do it well."
With that he banded me a pile of
envelopes and it long list of addresses
and told me to set to work addressing
them. I did so, but not with a very
good grace. the master corning round
from tbne to thne to inspect nay work.
For two solid hours 1 plodded on WW1
11 a. m., wben ethe course came to an
end. Then I took the opportunityof
going up to the master again and ask-
ing him if he did not really think I
had been wasting my time in what I.
had been doing.
"Not In the least." said he. "In
everythingno matter how simple or
how difficult, there is always a good
deal to iearu. If you have paid atten-
tion while you were working you will
have learned something about the ge-
ography of the German empire, for
each address contains the name of
some importent town and province, in
which It is situated and the name of
some firm celebrated for some particu-
lar class of goods." •
This ;sieve me food or reflection. As
a matter of fact, rialid not paid the
least attention to what I bad been
writing; consequently I had failed to
derive the benefit vehich it was the
master's intention I should obtain from
what seemed to me at the outset a
most senseless task. On the following
day I resolved to follow out the mas-
ter's instructions to the letter. and 1
was surprised to find how interesting
the work became.
I continued addressing envelopes for
two hours a day for a whole week, and
the next week I received promotion.
In this way I went through the.whole
routine. from °Bice boy to director. '

roborated by Fynes Moryson, who

artillery they had been ordered to for-

Hundreds of thousands of pounds
ere aunually sent from Ettrope and
America to enable the colonists to
bend homes, hospitals; schools and
invalid homes.. Over one hundred

The value of the land has risen
four -fold. The ignorant and poverty-
stricken fellahen (peasants) • are be-
ing ousted from their. homes and vile
lages by the European Jew settler,
whose modern agricultural Imple-

land produce harvests never dreamed
of by the natives. The Anglo -Pales-

:When Paper Was First Used.
The Chineso have an exasperating.
practice of claiming to have found coat
everything hundreds of years before
western nations, and are said to have
used paper as far back as two hun-
dred years before the coming of
Christ. This may or may not be true,
lint it was not known in the rest of
the weed until the beginning of the
eighth centary, when the Arabs learnt
its use. As time went on paper fac-
tories Were set up in Various parts of
Europe, and about the fourteenth cen-
tury it became fairly common in Eng-
land for writing on. The first paper
mill in England is said to have been
set up nt Hertford by a man named
Tate early in the eixteenth century.

Don't Belleve In Text -Seeks.
Gen, Sir Thomas Kelly -Kenny, who
has just eeeovered from et, seriont ill.
PC$S, believes more in the efficiency
cd aetual experience and training than
in all the military text-booke ever
written. Once it was hinted to Sir
Thomas that his methods were not
approved by the text -books. "By all
the laws of the text -books," replied
the bluff and hearty soldier, "Moora
should never have escaped from Co-
ranna, and Wellington should have
be' ti crushed at 'Waterloo; Roberta'
march to Kandahar should have been
impossible, and De Wet should have
been filially defeated and captured in
a month. Text -books are good in their
way, but the titan Who is going to be
led by them tent never win cam-
paigns," .
Asking Tao Much.
The mother of little six -year -on
Mary had told her e. number of times
not to hitch her sled to passing
sleighs, feeling that it was a danger-
ous practice. It was such a fascinat-
ing sport, however, thee Mary cou1.1
not resist it, and one day her mother
saw her go skimming past the house
behina a farmer's bob.
When she came in from play she
was taken to task, her mother sayine
severely: "Mary, haven't I told yoa
that you must not hitch on to bobst
Besides, it is against the law."
Mary tossed her head. "Ole" she
said, `don't talk to mo about the law.
It's all I can do to keep the Ten Com-
mandments!"
A Quaint Ceremony.
A. quaint and interesting ceremone
took place et Wotten, near Dorking,
Eng., one day recently, acting under
provision of the will of William Gla.n
ville, who died over a hundred y'ettrs
ago. Assembled in the old parish
cemetery, with their hands laid upoti
Glanville's grave; seven boys repeated
by heart the Lord's Prayer, the Creed,
end the Ten Commandments, and af.
terwercls in school they read a portion
of the New Testament. For clothe
this they each received forty shillitt,et
and two rabbits.
"It cured me," or "It saved the
life of my child," are tbe expressions

lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. This is true the world ov-
