"THE PACE THAT KILLS.” LORD LEVERHULME ON THE
DAWDLERS" DEATH RATE-
Lord Leverhulme, presiding at annual meeting of the British Industrial Safety First Association, at Caxton Hall, Westminster. said that in the United States there had been a report drawn up by medical man on pace that kila." Stepe had been taken to ascertain whether it was the hurrying, bustling business man who was supposed to shorten his days, or the man who crawl. ed and dawdled" through life. There were men in the United States to-day 80. 90, and between 90 and 100 years of 100 health years of age who were still in good and actively engaged in business, whereas men who had retired early fron business, had shortened their lives thereby. If we had a report on "

POOR MAN'S
PARADISE.
Katharine Tynan, writing in the Daily Jail, gives an attractive picture of Flor once from the poor man's point of view, and what she says is pretty accurate as regards the whole of Italy we are told. Her description is as follows:-
Florence is full to overflowing with the foreigner, and no wonder.
It is not only that the town itself con- tuins more of the great art of all the
than
a mortal can absorb.in a life- time, nor that the storied country around is steeped in beauty. Nor is it that the people are most amiable and beautiful to look at that every Italian you meet is at your service; that the servants are u h.soltly smiling and willing creatures as to be like a dream of Paradise to the barassed house-mistress of the British lalands. It is not only the sunshine and the songs of birds and the deep blue skies at night and the great star There is also the cheapness -
1 am told that at the best hotels in Fiorence you live for 75. a day.
I am not at a hest hotel but a pensione, where I am excellently fed and horised for about 5 a day.
The rooms have Д conventual cleanness. They are cool and lofty, with clean; bright furniture, and the beds are com
fortable. There is central heating in every room, and the wide windows open on a formal Italian garden where the. Hlowers are just coming.
You drink red or white Chianti of very. good quality at meals. It costs you fire the bottle-that is. tenpence in the present state of the exchange. If you like brandy the best is twenty five about five shillings There are less good qualities
You can drive about in one of the little open carriages for quite a considerable distance, and the driver will be rejoiced if you give him four or five lire shill- ing or
