HOW THE GERMANS WORK.
Ltnj Hcurt and Lot« o* fatng Bo«m

In an arte lc m “The German at

comparison with thr Englishman

« man work«

clerks are at work at ti in the m-wn-
ing.
“At 9 30 errrvh 'dv in the factor*

“Even in retail »hop* and in fac-
tones the ¡-.'use, or ‘p<>w i,’ as it is
called in German, i* rigidly ob-
»••rved. Workmen stop in the morn
ing ami afternoon for bread and
beer, serve«l from their cantons,
and - try retail »h--p, large or
small, b i- a pla. e where clerks can
warm and rat food.
“Th«' German has n vast assort
ment of I|'.ol ht beliefs about his
stomach. r’oo«l must be put into it
cautiously six or more Hine« u day,
and his strict ¡«leas n* to what may

for a ’powza* and
laboriously
steamed up again after each snack,
with the outcome that no more real
work is done u-ually than in our
shorter day.
“Five years aft*»r a German clerk
ia hired he will appear la-fore Ins

I.. >w deeply and cal! attention to the
fact that he hat l>cen there five
years. Dm * he expe t mi increase
of salary?
Not at all!
Thia is
merely the German respect for
length of service. Bv doing so he
politely intimate* that he thinks he
must be of some use in the place or
he wouldn’t I m * there. At the end
of ten year», fifteen vear» and twen

until, when the twenty-fifth anni
versary comes round, the b->«s is
looked to for a handsome jubilee
dinner.”
Bacan'a Eteayt In Franeh.
Bacon'» “Es.-av«” have a special
title to fame. This work wa» the
first of any importance to be trans-
¡at. 1 from English into French.
The translation proved a great «uc-
ce««. In hi* preface to the thir«l
edition Baudouin, the translator,
complain» that “at least four edi
tions of this work would have been
sold by now if the boo««>cl|er» had
not hampered its sale by their un
wiilin/m-- to pla. e it 1« fore the
public.” Still, the fact that three
c«litions were called for within fir»
years show« tiiat the essays were
heartily appreciated by
French
readers. The first French version
of Shakespeare appeared in 1776,
over 150 years after the translation
of Bacon
Ixvndon Chronicle.
