£IO,OOO A YEAR.

HOW TO EARN IT. Mr. C. F. Higham, a member of the British House of Commons, recently entertained the Efficiency Club in London with a racy address on the attractive subject, "How to Earn £IO,OOO a Year." Among liia epigrammatic observations were these:— Most healthy men and women are potential earners of £IO,OOO a year. But they wait for opportunity to knock at the door. Be careful of your personal appearance. Dress simply and well. Many a man has missed his chance by having a dirty collar. If you are out of a job, and have only £lO in the world, spend it all on dress. Don't envy successful men. Copy them. Give up any idea of an eight-hour day. Love your work, and think of it day and night. Make mistakes. Develop capacity to inspire others, Tako advice. Look prosperous—act "prosperous," be. an optimist. Pessimists never get far. Never break your word. The business world is ever on the look-out for reliable men. There are three types of business men and women—one. the largest, work for | wages; the second, for salaries; and the third make income. 1 Mr. Higham concluded by saying that the greatest business task in the world was the organisation and development of the British Empire. Its managing director, David Lloyd George, was the poor- j est paid managing director in the world. The State must learn to pay its public J servants better. /
