CLEMENCEAU'S DICTA ON LOVE AND MARRIAGE,
/ BY GEORGES CLEMENCEAU, Lately Premier of France.
From a "hook of khurt stories written in earlier days by "The Tiger and published in an English tmnslation, “Surprises of Life. (London, Eveleigh Nash, 74 6d)"
The question of love and marriage has manifestly, the most obsessing interest for humankind Presumably dissatisfied with the actual experiences of life, men, momen old people nad young seck in fiction, în dreams, the unattainable or the unattained. Life passes. Those woong us who, on
the brink of the grave, questiod, themselves honestly, recognise that more chances of happiness were offered them than they, tickle or wavering, made shift
to grasp
To protect the weak--that is to say, the woman and the child-against the caprice of the strong, i assuredly the duty of, society. But who will claim that marriage, as instituted by law and practised by custom, performs that office, and does not, efterer than not result in the triumph, whether jaktor unjust, of man!
There are happy marriages, whatever novelists say. There are married couples. who love each other, and live happily together to the end of their days. There are also unhappy anions.

I know of no greater error than to sup- pose that extraordinary adventures are what make life interesting. If one looks closely one finds that the truly marvellous things are those that happen to us every day, and that duels, dagger thrusta, even automobile accidents, with accompanying hatred, jealousy, betrayed love, and trea chery, are in reality the vulgar incidents in the enormous drama of our common life from birth to death
We cannot deny that signs of altruism, born principally of love manifest them salves on all sides in the animal world. The defence of the young in the com monest Instance of it. The courtship of the mala is also marked by exhibitions of generosity, even as it is on the boulevard. When a cock finds a worm, does he not summon his entire harem and magnificent- ly toss to them the savoury morseli

EFFECT OF BUDGET DUTIES.
Since Mr. Austen Chamberlain' introduced, his last Budget, there has been a parked re- duction in the retail sales of champagne and cigars, says the Tint
Ligar merchants my that during recent months clearances from bond and importa tions from Cabe have practically been suspend- ed. The public, it is stated, refuse to buy, at the high prices necessitated by the heavy duty and the inflated cost of the tobacco In 1914 a really good Havana cigar could be bought at 40s. to 50s, a humired, but to day the cost is more than £5 a hundred. Figures of the Customs yield from imported cagars during the past four or five months would be interesting
