THE BUSINESS DOCTOR.

A business of a decidedly novel character has just been started in New York. It may be more easily defined as a business doctor. This physician, who practises, without a diploma, employs his time in diagnosing tbe condiciona under which business bouses

work* and suggesting remedies to , improve those conditions. An example will show tbe way in wbicb he works. In one of tbe largest stores in the city he found that the partners got down about 10 o'clock, and opened all the letters together. With the enormous correspondence the opening of the letters naturally caused a waste of a great deal of time. He therefore advised the employment of a lady at a salary of £200 a year to open the letters before the partners arrived, eort them, and give to cacti member of the firm hiß own letters, so that he could deal with them at once. His prescription was taken, and, in spite of the large salary paid, it has been found profitable. He then went on to examine into tbe work of the shop, and found that, while some of tbe employes were receiving too large a salary, others were getting too little.
