One cannot but continue to admire the pluck, wirinos, endurance, and superior fighting qualities of the Japs, who have proved to be fully m the alert, as the Cossacks have recently discovered. The defeat of the Cossacks is Rignificant. so far as rectifying the assumption that Russia is immeasurably superior in mount- ed troops in Corea. It is a common halief in French military circles that the Russian military authorities know very little about the nature of the country in which they aro-hence why the andasized hors of the Inpanese cavalry have up to the present proved more suitable than the larger and better looring mounts of the Cossacks, A great many Fortevardiers cannot explain why ko biany Bussimus have been falling back overy. where upon the line of the Yals viver, the more so, as only a few weeks ago largo areas were covered with them. Grave events are expected very son since the ice is rapidly breaking, thus minimising landing difficulties. Are the Russians equal to the occasion? So far the Russians have shown a lamentable want of foresight, while comparatively speaking, they are not as well prepared to fight as ans their rivals. The war is actively discussed by Parisians of all classes, most of whom have reased to confine their interest to the naval operations, since the ecmenerment of the la campaign. Impartial opinion does not OWN MAKE hesitate to admit that the Japanese curtainly possess tactical advantage; the latter stilt Peronin ronsters of the field, since the Russian cavalry did not seed in checking their advance towards their objective on the northern frontier. The next few days will most probably decide whether the Japanese intend to force the passage of the Yulu River by monas of a frontal attack or whether they will simply hold General Mishtelienko's division in check pending the development of the invasion of Manchuria on another line. The Russians, judging by their preparations, expect to be attacked at Newchwang, though it is not certain that the Japanese intend to pursue that course. The fact is very fou know anything about the military plans of the Japanese: the veil of impenetrable secrecy which surrounds their movements is highly approval of though it Truly speaking, the colossal task upon which the Japanese have staked their national existence sch that they cannot afford to give their onery a single point in the game. It would be next to an inparlorable mistake to look npon the present war ca a show. Is it not a tremendous struggle for life and death hetween now nation and an immense Empire-the [640 most formidable military, power in the world according to Napoleon? Great Britain may be called on to stand by her ally; this equally applies to France, however unpleasant this may sound. This is precisely what is dreaded in both countries at the present moment. As sure as these two nations join their respective allies, the whole of Europe and other parts of the world will be involved. It is only wise to propare for such events; it rests with politician to retard the day, and if possible to prevent it, by every means in their power.

The favourite liquor which the French choose to tipple bus become more and more deadly in its composition, and consequently in its effects. Originally the only important ingredient in its composition, besides alcohol, was the essential oil of worm wood, and though doubtless this adderk something to the mischievous effects of the liquor, it would be impossible to fauen to it, n to the other comparatively trivial ingredients. the more serious of the special results which are now observed to occur in the tumorous victims of absinthe. The latter, according to recent analysis, now contains a large portion of anti mony, a poison which cannot fail to add largely to the irritant effects necessarily produced on the alimentary canal and the liver by constant doses of a concontrated alcoholic liquid. As at present constituted--this only Applies to inferior absinthe of course--and especially when consumed in the disastrous excess how common in Paris by young and old of both sexes, ara lakon frequently upon an empty stomach. absinthe forms a chronic poison of almost unequalled vienlence, both as a fritant to the stomach and bowels, and also us destroyer of the nervous system. The addition of antimmy is likely intended to produce the doubtful benefit of rendering absinthe less intoxicating, for it is notorious that tartar emetic is only slily given to drunkards by their friends to quiet their fury. As it would be im possible to adulterate the liqueur with sufficient- ly large doses without risking the production of anses or actual sickness, the quantity of antimony actually introduced into absinthe only servos to do all the mischief possible without any corresponding good.
