"Do New Yorker ever Mop to think how much time they spend la travel Ing to and from business every day and what it amounts to la their lives? This question was asked by a Berlin merchant in the UarlLorouf h hotel the other day, reports the Herald. , . "I notice," he added, "that your busi ness men usually live In the suburbs and spend about an hour coming In In the morning 1 an hour going home at tight. This means two hours day. or 12 hours li six working days of th week, 1.864 hours a year. Figure thin out yourself, and just see how much time you waste In your railway cars. And yet you pride yourselves on being a time saving nation. "In Europe It to different. In Berlin and Paris, for Instance, a business man lives either In the same building with bis business or within short walking distance of it We don't have to rush out of bed in the morning, dress hur riedly and often ga without breakfast as you do, to catch our train. As a rule we take two hours for . luncheon got-j home to eat It wl;h our family and In the evening we walk heme lels urely Instead of rushing' for our trail as you do. I tell you this Is 2 h a advantage. Ot course. New fork Is t situated that perhtps the same pis' would not work here and you an obliged to live some distance Iron your office; but nevertheless I think you people w .tj too much tlmo travel ing, ant', considering the little time you can spend at home I don't .-. that you profit rsuch by llvlns la ths suburbs. You are far altead of us Europeans In many things, but you ha-e jet to learn how to be more conservative with your iimm - It mnnlii I foil VOII. and this strenuous life does not pay."

"I'm glad I'm not my wife," said the dyspeptic, as be .settled down to his hygienic luncheon of rare roast beet, creamed onions and boiled rice,1 relates the Philadelphia Record.

Why, I've forgotten what color my wife originally was, she's undergone so many beauty transformation. And now she's got to do It again. . ,. . "A friend just back from the other side has told her that though red hair continues to be the proper caper, It must now be backed up by green eyes and a dead white skin. The hair and skin are easy enough, but even my wife Is a little afraid of the beauty specialist who Is willing to undertake to make her eyea look green. "There' Just one grain of comfort In It all for me though she achleve-J "ha pallid skin, the green eyes and the red hair, It will not give her a tem perament to correspond.
