Interpreters may be divided into two classes official and unofiicial, and of course the begin- er must expect to begin in the latter category If he interprets with a proper diligence and solemnity, and above all, authority, he may con fidently look forward to promotion The beginner would do well to furnish him- self with a fountain pen, sufficient paper, and 1 residence in some capital or metropolis. His next step would be to select the statesman or politician to whom he intends to devote himself. It is recommended that this selection be made with care, and the Interpreter should not settle on any statesman or politician to whom he cannot accord an honest whole-hearted adula These preliminaries are so far the most im- | portant part that they may: be termed the whole business of Interpreting The rest is governed by It should be borne in mind that the of an Interpreter is to establish a guar¢ this subject.
