When will we learn that It is not
the number of hours we work but the
efflcency of the work done that
counts? Many of us would accomp
lish much more In two or three hours
of vigorous, effective work, when the
mind is fresh and resourceful, than
we could accomplish In an entire day

tense notion of realism, as when the
stalwart grandeur of mighty mountain
ranges are thrown within his vision,
and he knows that they are only to be
seen by travelling thousand, of miles
over land and water.

tratlng the vast sublimities of Mont
Blanc on tholr Alms this week, and
they are superb and Interesting to the
last degree. Next week, these screens

will be no single thing left out either.
